Destiny 2 reveals the content that will occupy you in the Season of Arrival until the big Autumn expansion “Beyond Light”. This gives off a deliberately mysterious vibe.
Plans for the Future: In the most important stream in a long time, Bungie first discussed the grand master plan for Destiny 2. It was revealed how the future of the MMO shooter is expected to unfold over the next few years.
Particularly interesting will be the Autumn of 2020. The next big chapter is coming: Beyond Light. The freshly started Season 11 is now preparing the Guardians for the highlight of the Destiny year and offers activities throughout the summer.
On July 16, it was announced that the Autumn DLC was postponed to November. This has also changed the roadmap for Season 11. The current version can be found here:
To keep you informed about what to expect in the coming months, we show you the planned content of the Season of Arrival.
The Season of Arrival gives off a deliberately mysterious vibe
The official calendar shows what Guardians can expect in Season 11:
Right at the season start, you can expect:
A public contact event on Io as a new PvE activity – Here, Guardians will establish contact with the Darkness (free for all players)
The new Prophecy dungeon (free for all players)
New quest and interference mission – This will continue weekly with updates
This is coming in July:
The Triumph Moments: From July 7 to September 22, the Triumph Moments are making a comeback – Bringing new Triumphs and a new seal into the game (free for all players)
This is coming in August:
The Solstice of Heroes: From August 11 to September 8, you can earn a new “glowing” armor set
The new artifact Seed of Silver Wings (free for all players)
New weapons and armor
Umbral Engrams (free for all players)
The Iron Banner
A new Season Pass (partially free for all players)
Why so mysterious? A look at the roadmap shows that we actually don’t know much about the Season of Arrival. The last point on the calendar also states “and more…” along with the image of one of the Darkness Pyramid ships.
This mystery might have two reasons:
Since Season 11 leads directly into the big Autumn expansion, they probably don’t want to spoil too much. That was also the reason why we received so little information before the reveal on June 9.
In past seasons, the roadmap showed in detail what content would await players when. This diminished the mystery of discovering something exciting in the game, and many players were disappointed.
What does the arrival of the Pyramid ships mean
What do you think of the roadmap for the Season of Arrival – Is what has been presented too thin or are you looking forward to uncovering one or another surprise? How do you think the transition to the highly anticipated Autumn expansion and the launch of Year 4 will look?
The legendary cloak in World of Warcraft is slowly becoming a problem. It has become so powerful that newcomers have no chance and are at a disadvantage for months.
In World of Warcraft, the legendary cloak is causing frustration and problems again. Meanwhile, many characters’ Corruption Resistance is so high that it becomes a selection criterion in raid or dungeon groups. Because those with higher Corruption Resistance can also use stronger Corruption effects, which mean more power.
What is the problem? Those who have kept their cloak at maximum level from the start now have a proud 86 Corruption Resistance. Newcomers start with no Corruption Resistance and may only have 50 resistance after a few weeks when the cloak reaches rank 50. This difference is especially a problem for newcomers and second characters, as each week the hurdle and thus the problem grows.
Is there a catch-up mechanic? Yes, there is. It is possible to collect up to two cores per week if you are not currently up to date. For this, in addition to the Disturbing Vision, you must also defeat the raid boss N’Zoth, at least on normal difficulty – LFR is therefore not possible.
Especially PvP players are left out here, as there is no way to catch up through PvP. They are basically “forced to raid” or must live with being at a disadvantage until almost the release of Shadowlands.
Catching up takes 3 whole months
How long does catching up take? That is the second problem. Catching up takes an extraordinarily long time. If a player were to bring their cloak to rank 15 today, they would need a solid 12 weeks (almost 3 months!) to be at the current level. This table illustrates that:
Week
Newcomer Resistance
Current Maximum Resistance
0
50
86

Only after 12 weeks could newcomers catch up. Is this still “catch up”?
A catch-up mechanic where players have to find a raid group for 12 weeks is simply not a good catch-up mechanic.
Also in the World of Warcraft subreddit, the topic is discussed almost every day. The obvious solution would be to simply grant a core for every complete run of a vision until you catch up. Many players demanded this at the start, but now that the problem is becoming more obvious, the voices are getting louder.
Cortyn says: I am fortunate to mostly be in a guild group, and therefore do not necessarily need to have every character at maximum Corruption Resistance. Nevertheless, I can understand that this is especially a real problem for players who want to join random groups.
Especially through the Corruption Effects Vendor, players can quickly accumulate a high degree of Corruption without being able to contain it in the near future. Being 30 or more points behind here, without a valid way to catch up in the near future, is certainly exhausting and leads to frustration.
For me, there is no good argument against expanding the catch-up mechanic here. It would certainly help that even more players try out additional characters in endgame.
Or how do you see the whole thing?

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone there was a big update today, on June 11. This brings the new Season 4 into play. Find out here everything you need to know about the contents of update 1.22, such as new weapons and maps, the download size, the battle pass, and the patch notes.
Season 4 finally starts today: Many have been waiting for it. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and CoD: Warzone, the new season 4 kicks off today, June 11, at 8:00 AM finally. The new season was originally supposed to start last week, but was postponed until today due to the unrest in the USA.
When did the update come? The update has been available for download since 8 AM this morning. But before you jump into the action, a larger patch is still to come.
Update: On PC, the download is just under 45 GB, on Xbox One a little more than 44 GB (for some, due to a bug, even more than 84 GB) and on PS4 a little more than 32 GB.
CoD: MW & Warzone brings Season 4 with Update 1.22 on June 11
New multiplayer content including maps and modes for regular MP as well as new modes for Warzone
Fresh grind challenges
Changes and fixes (patch notes)
New battle pass with Captain Price and 2 new weapons
A new battle pass with 100 tiers. This is free for all players. However, access to the premium reward branch costs 1,100 CoD points (€10) or 2,400 CoD points for a bundle with 20 tier unlocks immediately.
Here you can see all the rewards of the Season 4 battle pass at a glance:

New operator: Captain Price as the new operator from the battle pass. Gaz is also expected to come.
New weapons: 2 new base weapons – the Fennec (Vector) at tier 15 and the CR-56 Amax (Galil) assault rifle at tier 31 of the new Season 4 battle pass.
New maps and a melee weapon for multiplayer
Which new maps can I expect today? Developer Infinity Ward brings 3 new maps at the start of Season 4:
The map Scrapyard, a popular classic for traditional MP
Barakett Promenade, a new large map for Ground War
Trench, a new 2vs2 map for the Gunfight mode
What does the playlist look like now? Due to the postponement of the new season, the same playlist has been around for a long time. Now there are fresh modes again, but the developers had to remove one mode again with a hotfix. Here’s how it looks now in multiplayer:
Ground War
Gunfight Blueprints
Team Rumble
Trench Moshpit
Scrapyard 24/7
What kind of new weapon is this? With sliding melee kills, you can now unlock Kali Sticks, which you can carry as a secondary weapon like a knife.
The update is also important for Warzone
New event mechanics and the first team deathmatch in Warzone
What’s going on in Warzone? There are quite a few innovations here. The most exciting sound are the new in-match events that can suddenly change the course of every match. Here are more details:
In-match events: During Warzone matches, one of 3 different event types can occur randomly, shaking up gameplay and strategy.
The events are ‘Jailbreak’, ‘Fire Sale’, and ‘Supply Chopper’.
In Jailbreak, all killed players immediately return to the match – regardless of whether they were in the Gulag or just watching.
In Fire Sale, most purchasable items at the buy stations are reduced by up to 80% or are even completely free.
In Supply Chopper, an armored but unarmed helicopter flies in, which needs to be shot down. If successful, it drops high-quality loot.
Contraband Contract System: This is a new, rare contract that rewards you with a permanent blueprint. The contract can appear with a low chance after you fulfill another contract. Grab the contraband crate, take it to the extraction point, and stow it in the waiting helicopter’s bag. If you kill the player with the crate, you can snag it for your team.
New 50v50 mode – Rumble: Two teams of 50 drop in and fight in various areas around Verdansk. There are custom loadouts, vehicles, and quick respawns.
What does the Warzone playlist look like? There have been hardly any changes here. You can still approach the BR with team sizes of 1 to 4 players. However, the Rumble has also been added as a new option – a 50vs50 team deathmatch that free-to-play players can also start:
Team Rumble
BR-4
BR-3
BR-2
BR-Solo
Blood Money (4)
Fresh grind challenges for your favorite weapons
Once you unlock gold for a weapon, these new challenges will become available. In a series of various challenges (8 per weapon), you can earn special rewards like emblems and calling cards.
The grind system is thus further expanded. With the big update 1.20 a few weeks ago, “Obsidian Camos” were introduced to the game, and now soldiers get even more challenges to deepen their connection to their favorite weapons.
CoD Modern Warfare & Warzone: Update 1.22 patch notes
These are the main changes from update 1.22 on June 11:
The reload warning for LMGs with belt feed is now given at lower ammunition levels than before
Dexterity now works as intended on the HDR (reloading now actually provides ammunition)
Loot update for Warzone: New weapons and updated blueprints! Keep an eye out for the Fennec, the CR-56 Amax, the Renetti and more
Many exploit and bug fixes such as for the annoying error code 13-71, the Ghost perk, or for issues with voice chat
A complete overview of all changes can be found in the official patch notes on Infinity Ward’s website:
For Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Warzone , a large update download is scheduled for the start of Season 4 on June 10th in the morning. Activision Blizzard is already warning: The download will be large. Sources report up to 49.7 gigabytes on PC, nearly 49 GB on Xbox One, and 34.7 GB on PS4. Why is the patch so large? To save hard drive space.
When is the patch coming? The patch is scheduled to arrive at 8:00 AM on Thursday, June 11th, German time, which introduces Season 4 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone.
The download is supposedly this large: A leak that also correctly predicted the release date of Season 4 mentions the following sizes: (via twitter):
34.7 GB – PlayStation 4
48.9 GB – Xbox One
44.3 GB – PC (for players who are only playing Call of Duty: Warzone for free)
49.7 gigabytes – PC (for players enjoying the full Call of Duty program, i.e., premium players)
The patch will be large, but hard drive space will be saved
Is this confirmed? Sort of, the exact GB data has not yet been confirmed. However, community manager Ashton Williams warns: The Season 4 download will indeed be large.
Based on the statement from the community manager, the gigabyte numbers from the leak sound plausible. If the community manager says that the download will be “large,” then it will likely be very large.
Why is the patch so large? However, the “hard drive storage consumption” of Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Warzone should not increase as much as the large patch suggests.
It is said that a number of assets are being compressed, so the launch of Season 4 will only consume 4 gigabytes more space on the hard drive than the version without Season 4 does now.
Players of Call of Duty have been waiting for over a week for Season 4 to finally start. There is not much known yet about the new chapter, but what we know about the new season in Modern Warfare and Warzone is revealed in our article on the start of Season 4.

As part of “Find Your Next Game”, MeinMMO and GameStar spoke with MMORPG legend Raph Koster. He explained in a livestream what made Ultima Online special in its time and why sandbox MMOs are popular.
Who is speaking? Raph Koster was the lead designer of Ultima Online, one of the most well-known MMORPGs from the early days of the genre. It was released in 1997 and can still be played today.
In the “Find Your Next Game” livestream, he reported that the developers at the time were inspired not only by other games in the genre but also by Harvest Moon.
What was so special about it? Harvest Moon is a farming simulation with RPG elements. The goal of the game was to revive and maintain a farm that had fallen into disrepair.
Some “casual aspects” of this game were adopted, for which Ultima Online was laughed at in the beginning. But as Koster notes, it is precisely these contents that have always been particularly popular.

Recording of the livestream with Raph Koster (from Hour 2 Minute 38)
Fighting is not as important as you think
Why was UO so popular? In Ultima Online, you could obtain resources without killing creatures. That was not standard at the time. Harvest Moon was one of the inspirations for the MMORPG, as Koster reports:
When I think about which games influenced sandbox and also UO, at the time when Ultima Online became well-known, there was the original Harvest Moon.
People reacted like this: “A game centered around farming? That’s crazy!” And in UO, you could then pick apples from trees and shear sheep to get wool.
Raph Koster in the livestream from MeinMMO and GameStar
However, the crazier fact was that other gaming companies reacted completely differently and focused on combat in games:
Other game companies ran ads saying, “Would you rather bake bread or kill things?” They thought everyone who plays just wants to kill things.
Raph Koster in the livestream from MeinMMO and GameStar
This is what it looked like in Ultima Online back in the day. The MMORPG was very popular.
What does reality look like? Over the years, it has become clear that many players enjoy building rather than destroying. The sandbox game Minecraft and the Farming Simulator are among the most successful games on the market.
Koster thinks so too:
Today, we can proudly say that they [the game companies] were really, really wrong. Like really, really, really wrong.
The fact is: Baking bread or planting flowers is much more popular than killing things.
The developer legend also reports that Ultima Online was one of the first MMORPGs where players could change the appearance of their equipment or sit in chairs. Still, the game initially had a hard time at EA.
In Star Wars Galaxies, which Koster also worked on, people made fun of the fact that “dancing” was introduced. Today, dances and other social activities are standard.
Raph Koster himself brings up the example of Fortnite in the livestream, where dances even made it into the real world and led to lawsuits.
Mobile games show the popularity of casual content
Koster also ties the popularity of farming and casual content to mobile gaming. Many successful games are based on the idea of sandbox MMOs:
What we see today is that the things that were in sandbox MMOs are now cornerstones for mobile games […].
Looking at the games that are most accessible for people with little time, children, or those who are waiting in line at the grocery store, we see “Love Nikki”, which revolves around clothing, or games like Farmville, which focus on farming.
For him, sandbox MMORPGs are particularly successful when they combine content like raiding and dungeons with elements like farming or housing.

Last week, the big June patch for Borderlands 3 was postponed indefinitely. However, it is now clear: It will come to the game this week with all its content.
When will the patch be released? The big June update for Borderlands 3 is coming this week on Thursday evening. This means it will be released exactly one week later than originally planned.
This was not explained in an official statement, but the developers’ Twitter channel confirmed it in several responses to inquiring fans:
What is included in the patch: The big highlight is the start of the event “Takedown at the Guardian Breach”. Those who have played Maliwan Takedown know: Completing it won’t be a walk in the park,
The Takedown represents a new endgame challenge for full four-player teams. The enemies will be tough, but the rewards are said to be worth it. In addition to new enemy types, you can also expect platforming sequences and puzzles. Moreover, it all takes place in reduced gravity.
The Takedown will be tough
Additionally, many important improvements are tied to the patch. It is part of the developers’ two-phase plan to eliminate annoying issues from the game. These mainly emerged with the large Mayhem mode update, which, while it brought many new modifiers, difficulty levels, and gear pieces, also introduced many bugs.
Among other things, the enemy strength at high Mayhem levels will be adjusted and weapon balance will be overhauled. Gearbox also announced improvements to performance.
In any case, the Takedown should provide the perfect opportunity to try your hand at some tough enemies before we head to the Wild West at the end of the month. Then the third Borderlands 3 DLC is on the way.

The next major Title Update for The Division 2 has been announced. TU10 will bring a lot of content and many improvements.
When will TU10 be released? TU10 is currently scheduled to go live on June 16. So that would be next week Tuesday, provided everything goes as planned.
Already one day prior, the patch notes for the major update are to be released. However, there has already been some information in the “State of the Game” from June 10, where the developers talked about the new update, and from the PTS of the last weeks, we also know several details about the upcoming update, such as the approximate changes for the Exotics.
Title Update 10 is preparing you for the new raid
What’s included in Title Update 10: The update is supposed to bring several improvements. Among other things, some gear sets will be optimized and the damage of many weapons increased. Additionally, there will be some balancing adjustments and bug fixes. Here you can find details about the announced changes:
What can be said about the raid? In the “State of the Game,” the developers explained that you can soon expect the new raid. They did not provide a specific date, but the raid “Operation Iron Horse” is expected to start sometime at the end of June, perhaps in July. There should be enough time to optimize your build according to the TU10 changes.
Furthermore, the developers have already shown some of the new loot from the raid:
New Season 2 starts: Linked to TU10, Season 2 of “Warlords of New York” will start one week later. The current Manhunt of the season can still be completed until June 15. From June 23, there will be the first target of the new Manhunt and a fresh battle pass. Here too, two new Exotics will enter the game: “Vile” and “Mantis”.

One of the recent updates in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare seems to have adjusted the aim assist for controllers. This affects not just the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but also PC. Apparently, certain settings are now too strong.
This is the problem: In one of the recent updates, the developers seem to have changed the settings for aim assist with controllers in the new Call of Duty and presumably also Warzone. This affects all players who prefer to play with this type of input device.
The problem is that the aim assist seems to be too strong now. It slows down aiming near a target so much that players can essentially hit a target while “glancing by.”
It goes so far that they just have to aim with sniper rifles until the camera slows down and then shoot to achieve an almost guaranteed headshot. YouTuber and CoD expert JGOD impressively demonstrates this in his video:

This type of aim assistance apparently only occurs when the options “Precision” or “Focused” are selected in the aim assist options and it probably relates to the new “Deadzone” settings that you can use to improve your aim.
This is the consequence: In his video, JGOD shows that this strong aim assist even helps in situations where you cannot see your opponent fully.
His partner, with whom he tests, is standing behind a low wall. Only his head is visible. But that is enough to trigger the new assist and slow the movement at the point where the body is behind the wall.
Here the opponent stands behind a wall, and the aim assist still pulls.
This no longer works when the opponent is completely covered and therefore cannot shoot anymore. However, the slowing of movement indicates where an opponent has been and allows for very easy kills.
JGOD claims that this feature rewards players who have “no aim.” He thinks it shouldn’t work this way and hopes to alert the developers to fix it.
If you prefer to improve your targeting ability without tech support, here are some tips:
Here’s the catch: The feature only works when the player moves the camera with their analog stick themselves. Not when another player walks through the screen.
With the “Standard” aim assist, this does not work.
Furthermore, the option prevents the use of “Standard” aim assist. This turns the character during movement when an enemy is in the crosshairs. But this no longer works with the “Focused” setting.
However, some users on YouTube claim that this feature is even stronger. They observe that the crosshairs follow enemies moving through the screen when they have their weapon mounted – basically a kind of “aimbot-light.”
“This is exactly what PC players are complaining about”
Even for controller players like JGOD or his viewers, the current aim assist feels too strong. Since Modern Warfare and Warzone both offer crossplay between PC, PS4, and Xbox One, it can happen that controller players on consoles face off against mouse players on PC.
This is a topic where even the expert says: “This is exactly what PC players are complaining about.” Generally, the mouse is considered the stronger, more precise input device. However, there are always disputes among players about whether the aim assist on controllers is unfair. Recently, the famous Twitch streamer DrDisrespect tested this himself.
With this strength, JGOD is sure it would be unfair and “on par with Fortnite.” Recently, cheaters on PC have caused players on PS4 to disable crossplay. Perhaps now the buff for aim assist will lead to PC players no longer wanting to crossplay with consoles.

A patent for the PS5 shows how the menu of the new console might be structured. Many PS4 players should quickly find their way around there. In addition to a familiar layout, there could be especially useful extensions.
Where does the information come from? The information regarding a possible user interface (UI) for the PS5 has appeared at the United States Patent Office. The patent describes how the future PS5 interface might look.
Keep in mind that while this is an official patent, it does not mean that the features presented will become a reality. We might see something about this at the big PS5 event on June 11.
This is what the PS5 menu might look like according to the patent
According to the patent, PS4 veterans should feel at home on the PS5
Here’s why PS4 players will feel at home: According to the patent, the PS5 menu is structured similarly to the PlayStation 4 interface. So, when you start the PS5 in winter 2020, you can expect a familiar sight.
Games, music, photos, and other media such as movies are again directly accessible through the central menu. Interestingly, according to the representation, you can immediately see in the menu whether you have a PS Plus membership or not.
Previously, starting a game on the PS4 showed a few prompts below the game. This could now be significantly expanded with new features, which we will explain in the following.
Statistics about games at a glance.
Here’s how the PS5 menu functions might look: According to the patent, each game could have its own tab. Within that, a wealth of new information could be hidden:
Statistics of your games, such as how long you’ve played or how many kills you achieved in the last gaming session.
More and more patents related to the PS5 are appearing

In FIFA 20, the return of Team of the Week (TOTW) is approaching. But first, there are some really strong Weekend League rewards – once again.
That was the TOTW problem: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the football leagues that the Team of the Week is based on were largely suspended. Accordingly, there was also no weekly TOTW anymore, it was replaced by TOTW Moments and, for a few weeks now, TOTS cards.
When will the TOTW return? As football activities are now resuming in many places, the TOTW is also set to return. This was announced via Twitter:
With many top football leagues still ramping up towards restarting, our current plan is for Team of the Week to return on 24 June.
Weekend League rewards this coming weekend (12 June-14 June) will be the same as the ones available for the 5 June-7 June competition.
— FIFA Direct Communication (@EAFIFADirect) June 10, 2020
On June 24, the Team of the Week is set to appear again. It is likely to be released weekly again, always on Wednesdays. But that was not all that EA Sports announced.
One more chance for the best cards
What the Weekend League brings: Next weekend, the Weekend League Rewards are set to be available again, just like last weekend. This means: If you participate in the Weekend League between June 12 and June 14, you can again receive cards from the Ultimate TOTS and the Rest-of-the-World TOTS in your Weekend League rewards.
Depending on how many wins you achieve, your chances of getting cards from the Ultimate TOTS in your red Player Picks increase. This means there is another opportunity to draw extremely strong cards like Messi, Ronaldo, De Bruyne, and more from the picks.
The best cards are once again available in the rewards
The chances of pulling high-rated cards are at least better than pulling them from packs. So the Weekend League is definitely worth it. Because how the TOTW cards, which will likely return to rewards at the end of June, can still compete with the current top cards is at least questionable.
Recently, however, the Weekend League caused some controversy. More precisely: A professional sensed fraud among the top 100 in this important mode and presented evidence that the ranking of a player might not have been legitimate.

Why the postponement? At the end of May, African American George Floyd died during a brutal police operation in the USA. This led to unrest and massive protests in many major cities across the country. Many people have since taken to the streets in the USA for more justice and against racism and excessive police violence.
With the postponement, the developers took a stand on the recent developments in the USA – like many other companies in the USA as well. It was meant to create space for the “Black Lives Matter” movement by holding back their own announcements and actions.
Likely coming in Season 4 as Operators – Captain Price and Gaz
What we already know about Season 4: There’s only a little concrete information available so far. Because not only was Season 4 postponed – the traditional roadmap, which is published shortly before the season starts, was also missing.

The Greymoor addon has brought some changes to the vampire in The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO). But besides its combat power, it is also great for farming. We at MeinMMO show you a build that allows you to run fast and get rich.
The update brought some changes to vampires. We want to introduce you to a build that allows you to get started with your new vampire.
What kind of build is this? This build is called “Speedy G”, is based on movement speed and gold farming, and originally comes from player Alcast, who has experimented a lot in ESO and often has helpful tips. We at MeinMMO do not want to withhold these from you, as the build is easily attainable and requires little time and money investment.
We summarize the most important information in this guide for you in English so that you can implement the build quickly and easily. Additionally, you will find skills, other important tools, and alternative equipment suggestions here.
Additionally, it is beneficial to play a Nightblade. They benefit from their ability to become invisible.
The advantages and disadvantages of being a level 1 vampire
You can also play the build with another class, but then you need to bring your vampire to level 4 or higher. At that level, you gain the talent “Unnatural Movement”, which allows you to become invisible while sprinting for more than 3 seconds. Additionally, you will need to compensate for a few deficiencies with equipment and skills.
What is the core of the build? With this skill setup and equipment, you achieve maximum speed of 200%. Higher is not possible in ESO. The catch is that you only reach it while sneaking and not just while sprinting.
With the appropriate equipment, you lose hardly any resources, so you can remain in sneak mode continuously. This way, you can move quickly across the map and avoid most fights.
How do you get rich with it? Ideally, you collect treasure chests or materials with this build, from which you can craft items to sell.
This way, you can earn up to 90,000 gold per hour. Ultimately, what you get out of it depends on your luck and the level of your crafting skills.
The skills and equipment in the guide
Which skills do you need to pack? With this build, speed is primarily what you are focusing on. Ideally, you don’t get into fights at all. Your most important skill is “Dark Stalker”. This allows you to lift the restriction when sneaking and sneak at normal movement speed.
This skill is crucial for the build
Another important ability is “Hidden Blade”. As long as you have that equipped, you can run 25% faster while sneaking. You will find it in the “Shadow” skill tree of your Nightblade.
To extract even more speed from your vampire, there are several options. One option is the additional skills:
Defensive Maneuver – Gives you 30% speed. However, the buff only lasts for 7 seconds, and you will be slightly thrown out of your invisibility for a brief moment. You can find the skill in the “Assault” skill tree of the Alliance War.
Concentrated Momentum – Also gives you 30% movement speed. This time for 12 seconds and without kicking you out of stealth. You can find this skill in the Psijic Order skill tree.
If you want to see what such a vampire looks like and which skills are also practical for combat, you can check out the video by Alcast:

What equipment do you need? Ultimately, you are not necessarily constrained when it comes to your equipment with this build. What matters is that you focus on speed. The rarity is also not necessarily relevant. However, we at MeinMMO still have a few recommendations for you.
A very affordable way to assemble your gear is as follows:
5x Breaker – This gives you 10% movement speed in all circumstances
5x Darloc Brae Outfit – This grants you 670 health and 670 Magicka and Stamina back every second as long as you are sneaking and not blocking.
2x any Monster Set, e.g. The Bloodspawn – This gives you resistances when you take damage
3x Quick Transmutation Jewelry – At a purple item level, this adds, for example, 5%, totaling 15% additional speed
Which item you have in which slot is not that important. What matters is that you complete your set bonuses. This is especially true for the 5 pieces of Breaker and Darloc Brae.
Are there alternatives? Without additional skills and most set bonuses, you can also reach your speed cap of 200%. However, this is somewhat more difficult than the previously presented method. You would need the Mythic item Ring of the Wild Hunt for this.
You obtain this through the new antiquity system that came with Greymoor to ESO. The ring provides you with an additional 45% speed as long as you are out of combat and 15% while inside. However, it is not a must; you can compensate for this with the listed skills and sets.
With the Ring of the Wild Hunt and the skills mentioned above, you can do without almost everything else. Since you can easily reach 200% this way, you can play the build with entirely different equipment. However, for your resource management, we at MeinMMO still recommend the Darloc Brae set.
You can get even more out of it
What else do you need? Besides the skills and equipment, there are a few other important puzzle pieces:
Mundus Stone: The Steed – This buff grants you 10% more movement speed
Buff food: Longfin Pasty with Melon Sauce. This increases your three main stats: health, stamina, and Magicka. Moreover, it is easy to obtain
Champion Points:
Abundant Harvest – This allows you to gather double the amount when lucky
Master Gatherer – This lets you gather faster
Both can be found in “The Lover”
Which race is sensible for this? The Khajiit are the most suitable race. This grants you additional bonuses to sneaking, making you less likely to be detected. The Khajiit are also high up in your ranking of the most popular races in ESO.
However, you can also choose any other race. The recommendations here are only for the optimal result. Race and class are always up to your preference; this build is possible with any combination, just a bit adjusted to your play style.

Season 11 has brought new Umbral Engrams to Destiny 2 . MeinMMO shows you how to open and focus them to determine your loot at the Prism Engraver yourself.
This is new: With the start of Season 11, Destiny 2 wanted to give players more options to determine their loot themselves and effectively hunt for God-Rolls. This is now made possible by the Umbral Engrams.
We explain what this new feature is all about. In the season of arrival, the Umbral Engrams and their focusing become an important game element that seems quite complex at first glance but offers cool possibilities.
Getting Umbral Engrams: Obtaining Umbral Engrams is the easy part of the task, as the encrypted items drop pretty much everywhere in the game world. You can randomly receive some in almost every activity or playlist – compare this system to the regular, random Engrams.
To open the Umbral Engrams, you need to go to the Tower, to the Wanderer. We will go into the various possibilities that come with it in detail in this article.
Bungie has already extensively commented on the idea behind the new Engrams and their locations before Season 11:
Focus Engrams – All about the Prism Engraver in Destiny 2
This is how to open Umbral Engrams: If you have obtained an Umbral Engram, you cannot just open it. You need to first cleanse these items “possessed” by darkness. Bring them to the Wanderer in the Tower.
To the left of the NPC, you will find two devices:
the Prism Engraver
the Umbral Decoder
The Decoder is quite simple: Bring Umbral Engrams here and receive your loot. Essentially, this is a Cryptarch for evil items. However, through focusing, you can greatly influence the content of the Engrams yourself.
The Umbral Decoder is fed with focused Umbral Engrams and spits out loot
By using “Distorted Energy,” you can raise your seasonal rank here and earn rewards. The Prism Engraver offers a variety of functions:
Focus Engrams and thus determine which weapons or armor you receive
Here you can increase your seasonal rank and receive rewards – this requires “Distorted Energy”
Access to Bounties – These provide seasonal resources such as “Distorted Energy” and “Altered Element”
Through the “Gifts of Light & Darkness” tab, you unlock bonuses for seasonal activities, find more Umbral Engrams, or save resources when focusing – new bonuses are unlocked through ranking up the Prism Engraver.
Seasonal mods and a new ship are also available
The Prism Engraver has many functions
This is how focusing works: By focusing, you narrow down the potential loot pool of the Engrams. This way, you decide which loot your Umbral Engrams should contain.
Each week, you even have free focus options available, which you can increase up to a maximum of 6 through ranking up. Depending on the desired loot, the process costs different seasonal resources.
Depending on how precisely you want to define your loot, it costs more resources
Improved Arsenal focusing: Costs 100 “Altered Element” and significantly narrows the weapon selection – For example, you only have the new sword and the new bow as contents of the Umbral Engram. You need to unlock this focusing in the Season Pass (Rank 32 in the premium track).
Improved Armor focusing: Costs 250 “Altered Element” and a Trace Override and allows you to determine the stat value of the armor – For example, you can specify that the armors from the Umbral Engram are optimized for Discipline if you like to throw grenades. You need to unlock this focusing in the Season Pass (Rank 72 in the premium track).

We have some additional tips that will make handling Umbral Engrams and their focusing easier for you. MeinMMO will continually expand this section throughout Season 11.
Use your Umbral Engrams: In the first hours of the new season, we have already found dozens of Umbral Engrams. We didn’t feel like we had to be particularly careful with them.
What should I level up first? First, utilize properties that save you resources. For example, there is the option to recover materials used with each decoded Engram – even if only in small amounts, it’s better than nothing.
You can’t really screw up with the bonuses under the “Gifts of Light & Darkness” tab. Before you can use the more powerful abilities, all previous bonuses must be activated first.
This bonus is significant: One of the later unlocks in “Gifts of Light & Darkness” grants you an additional alternative weapon perk and a chance for higher stats on armors – Making the Engrams considerably more worthwhile.
These weapons and armors are included in the new Umbral Engram
Collect resources quickly: Through the two weekly Bounties, you can quickly secure 1000 units of “Distorted Energy.” You can also farm this resource with three characters if needed.
The repeatable Bounties unfortunately only bring experience points, so do not prioritize them. You can also acquire needed resources through the Season Pass and seasonal Triumphs.
Take your time: Over the next three months, you will automatically level up by completing Bounties and seasonal activities, so you don’t have to rush to level the Prism Engraver.
Do you think it’s good that all activities now drop relevant loot and you can decide what’s in the new Umbral Engrams? Are you more interested in exotic weapons? Then you will find what you’re looking for here: Destiny 2: All new Exotics of Season 11 that are known so far

In Pokémon GO, many trainers are currently battling in the new special research “Champion of Nostalgia Challenge”. You need to catch Dragon-type Pokémon, which is not easy.
This is the special research: Since the beginning of June, there has been the special research “Champion of Nostalgia Challenge”. You could obtain this if you solved all the researches related to the Nostalgia Challenge or spent money for it. At the end, the mysterious Pokémon Genesect is waiting for you, among other things.
On level 4 of 5, you need to catch a Dragon-type Pokémon. This is quite tricky, as Dragon-type Pokémon are among the rarest Pokémon in the game.
Catching Dragon-type Pokémon for Nostalgia Challenge
Wild: In the wild, Dragon-type Pokémon appear particularly rarely. Possible candidates for this would be Dratini or Bagon. For monsters like Swablu or Trapinch, you need to have significantly more luck.
Raids: The best opportunity for Dragon-type Pokémon is currently in raids. There you can still find Reshiram for a short time and after that Zekrom. Both are legendary Pokémon of the Dragon type. However, remember that you need multiple players for this.
Those who play alone can rely on Pokémon like Alolan Exeggutor or Bagon in raids. They are of the Dragon type and can currently be found at the raid bosses to Reshiram.
The raid bosses for Zekrom are not yet known, but Dragon-type Pokémon are also conceivable there. Through such raids, you can quickly complete the task.
The current legendary Pokémon are ideal for the special research.
PvP: If you play a lot in PvP mode, you can also encounter a Dragon-type Pokémon there. From rank 7, you can meet a Bagon. This is of the Dragon type and completes the quest for you.
However, there are no other Dragon-type Pokémon here, and you need some luck to actually obtain Bagon.
Are there any other tricky tasks? For the special research, the task involving Dragon-type Pokémon is the most difficult. Other tasks are somewhat lengthy, such as winning in 15 raids, but they can be managed over time.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a player impressively achieved 24 kills in a very short time. For this, he found an almost perfect spot in the game mode “Infected.”
Here is the situation: The reddit user Watermelonjokes shared a clip of the situation, explaining that he joined a round of “Infected” late.
There, he hid in a house and waited for the numerous enemies that were already lurking on the map when he joined. In the end, it was a total of 24 kills for the player.
Enemies run to their death like zombies
This is the clip: On reddit, the video has already received nearly 8,000 upvotes (June 10, 3:50 PM). We show you the clip here:

On the map Hackney Yard, the player hides in a single-story house and places claymores on the stairs leading up. It doesn’t take long before a whole horde of enemies come running, hunting the player.
The claymore explodes, and the player fires entire magazines from the shotgun at the enemies, who spawn again and run straight back into the house. The Origin 12 is otherwise not particularly popular, but here it showcases all its strengths.
In the end, it’s 24 kills within just 30 seconds. After that, the player is finished off with a knife, as the horde of enemies takes advantage of the moment he is reloading to reach him.
Why is it so easy? The culprit is the game mode “Infected.” Here, you start as a “normal” player, and an “infected” player must infect all others as well. As an infected, you only have knives at your disposal, putting you at a disadvantage against normal players with weapons.
Many factors contributed to this. The normal player had a shotgun that is good for close combat. Additionally, he was in a house that had only one staircase as an entrance. The enemies had to come through the narrow hallway to reach him.
Due to all these points, it looked a bit like all the infected players were running towards the stairs like zombies. After all, they had to get close enough to their enemies.
In another video, 12 campers are taken out. There, a Juggernaut wiped out an entire enemy nest and blew away all the players inside. They were completely helpless, as the Juggernaut is better armored and therefore hard to defeat.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In Call of Duty: Warzone there seems to be a problem with the loot at the moment. Players have found a way to start a match already with armor and money. This disrupts the fairness in the Battle Royale.
What advantage is this? Some players have found a way to start a round in Warzone already equipped with gear. Normally, everyone should only start with a pistol and two armor plates.
However, players have managed to equip three full armor plates and take up to $800 in cash before even jumping out of the plane.
On reddit, user Aviationist posted a picture showing his gear. The plane is just flying over Verdansk, and it is already evident there that he has more loot than he should.
In the lower left, it can be seen that Aviationist has more loot than he should have.
Aviationist is using an Xbox controller, so he is presumably playing on the Xbox One or with the controller on PC. Whether the exploit occurs on PlayStation 4 as well, we cannot say for sure.
How does this happen? Apparently, players manage to take loot from the warm-up phase before a round. Normally, anything they pick up there should be reset upon entering the plane.
However, there is apparently a bug that allows the loading time for the Battle Royale to be exploited. This only works for armor plates and money. Weapons and ammunition get removed again.
Since this is likely an exploitation of a bug, we will not explain exactly how players manage this. MeinMMO also advises everyone not to replicate this. You risk getting your account banned. Cheaters are a significant problem in Warzone and are so disliked by many players that they even disable crossplay.
Unfair Advantage – Especially at the Start
With the extra armor plate, players have the advantage of running less risk of being killed immediately, especially at the beginning of the game. They can engage in a fight early on, for example at the most popular and best landing spots, and eliminate opponents with the pistol because these can withstand less.
Additionally, the money is an advantage to quickly acquire the most important items in Warzone or to buy cheaper items quickly while others still have to loot. The lead is not great, but in the first minutes of a round, it could mean crucial seconds.
If you quickly find a supply station, you won’t be missing much money to buy yourself a plate bundle or a shield turret.
So far, there has been no response from the developers. We cannot say for sure when and if the bug will be fixed. Currently, many players are still speculating about the start of Season 4 after the leak was wrong, and whether this currently has priority for the developers.
Genre: Augmented-Reality-Mobile-Game| Developer: Warner Bros. Games and Niantic| Platform: Mobile| Release: 06/22/2019
The AR game Wizards Unite will celebrate its first anniversary in June 2020. The successor to Pokémon GO is still enjoyed by many players and continues to evolve. In our “Find Your Next Game” series, we will show you everything that has happened in the past year.
What is Wizards Unite? The AR game comes from Warner Bros. Games and Niantic. Warner Bros. holds the license for Harry Potter. Niantic is responsible for the mobile hit Pokémon GO. They have mainly transferred their “augmented reality” mechanics to Wizards Unite.
In Wizards Unite, however, you don’t hunt Pokémon; instead, you try to save the wizarding world of Harry Potter. You must free objects and bring them back to the wizarding world so that the world of magic is not discovered by the Muggle world (that is, normal humans).
Wizards Unite – The Pokémon GO for Graphics Lovers
These are the contents of Wizards Unite: In Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, you are a wizard fighting against numerous creatures from the Harry Potter universe. All of this takes place in the real world: The inns or greenhouses are real attractions located in your city. The collectible objects, including the figures and items that you need to free, are scattered throughout your city.
Wizards Unite incorporates many other elements that you can explore while walking through your city:
Over 100 different creatures or objects that you know from the Harry Potter series must be battled or freed using magical energy
All these collectible objects can be gathered in your registry for later viewing
In fortress battles, you can team up with friends to face stronger opponents and earn rewards
Choose between 3 professions that must work together in fortress battles
Portmanteaus can only be opened after you have traveled a certain number of kilometers – This is the equivalent of eggs in Pokémon GO
Daily tasks give you an incentive to check the game regularly
Build friendships and send each other gifts every day
In the fortress, you can choose between different chambers.
The fortress battles are among the core elements of Wizards Unite. They represent the greatest MMO factor in the game. In fortress battles, you can determine how strong your opponent is and what rewards you receive from the battle through the use of rune stones. It is important that players with different professions are present at the start. They complement each other and are crucial for victory.
In the fortresses, you can really cast spells. There, you attack your opponent with spells or defend yourself with them. If you execute your spells well enough, you can eliminate your opponents.
You can also use the same spells in the most important part of Wizards Unite: in the battle against Found Guardians, who guard your collectible objects. You can drive away the Found Guardians with your spell and send the collectible objects back to the wizarding world.
Here you have to free Harry Potter from a Dementor, who is a Found Guardian.
What is the goal of the game? There is no definitive end. You must try to save the wizarding world and therefore drive away the Found Guardians. One of your goals should be to collect all the collectible objects in your registry.
You yourself should become stronger over time and can level up. You can also use gifts from your friends for this, as well as gain XP through various actions in the game.
Wizards Unite is a bit more complex than Pokémon GO. Among other things, there is a skill tree that you can level up. For this, you need to collect books and then take classes. When you complete the classes, your skill tree grows, allowing you to unlock additional abilities. For each of the 3 professions (Auror, Magizoologist, and Professor), there is a separate skill tree that you can level up.
The skill tree of the Professor is already fully developed here.
An exciting point is that you can create all important items yourself. By cultivating plants and brewing potions, you can create XP boosters and other useful items. With the tonic for trace detection, for example, you can attract more collectible objects to your area. Although you can buy the items in the shop, all items can also be crafted yourself.
Anyone who has not yet played Pokémon GO will likely be amazed by the aspects of connection with the real world. Inns, greenhouses, and fortresses are all places that exist in the real world. You can visit them yourself and interact with Wizards Unite there. This way, you can discover places in your city that you may have never paid attention to before.
For Harry Potter fans, Wizards Unite provides the perfect setting: Every character and creature that had even a small role in Harry Potter can be found in Wizards Unite. This starts with Harry Potter himself and his friends and ends with magical creatures, such as the Hippogriff Buckbeak.
A great AR game in the shadow of Pokémon GO
How successful is Wizards Unite? You can simply look at the download numbers in the app stores:
PlayStore for Android: Over 10 million downloads and nearly 300,000 ratings, which gave an overall 4 out of 5 stars
App Store for iOS: Download numbers not known, but at least 8600 ratings gave an overall 4.3 out of 5 stars
If you look at the numbers for Pokémon GO, the game seems almost tiny:
PlayStore for Android: Over 100 million downloads and over 13 million ratings, which gave an overall 4.1 out of 5 stars
App Store for iOS: Download numbers not known, but at least over 26,500 ratings gave an overall 3.8 out of 5 stars
It must be noted that these data do not accurately show how many players are still actively playing both games. They are just the pure download numbers.
Compared to Pokémon GO, Wizards Unite is nearly tiny.
This is what makes Wizards Unite different from Pokémon GO: Despite the significantly lower player numbers, Wizards Unite keeps introducing features that Pokémon GO players envy. For example, there is a start button for fortress battles here, so you don’t have to wait the usual 2 minutes. This is something trainers have wished for the raids in Pokémon GO for years, yet it has never come.
Wizards Unite’s stunning graphics are also widely admired. The magical creatures are beautifully animated and look almost like they do in the Harry Potter movies.
Wizards Unite offers many features that are truly remarkable, yet it still stands in the huge shadow of Pokémon GO. Because there is one problem it hasn’t overcome yet: why should one stop playing Pokémon GO and start playing Wizards Unite? The target audiences of both AR games overlap significantly. Wizards Unite has not managed to capture a large portion of players for itself.
What has recently changed in Wizards Unite?
These were the COVID-19 adjustments: Similar to Pokémon GO, Wizards Unite was also significantly affected by the COVID-19 crisis. The central idea of Wizards Unite, going out and exploring, was heavily restricted worldwide due to lockdowns.
The developers responded in April 2020 by introducing the traveling knight into the game. With him, you can now engage in fortress battles from home and fight with other players who are also staying at home in a fortress. This way, you will always find fellow players for your fortress battles without having to leave your house.
Due to COVID-19, several other things were also adjusted, such as the finding of magical energy throughout the game. Previously, this energy could be obtained only by visiting inns. Now it can simply be found on the street.
The traveling knight brings fortress battles to your home.
This has been changed long-term: In Wizards Unite, there have been several long-term adjustments over the past year. For example, the registry where you collect the found objects has been revised.
Previously, you could collect them to reach ranks. Once the ranks were full, further encounters with these collectible objects did not seem worthwhile. Now, these ranks repeat again, earning you prestige ranks the more often you collect the collectible objects.
Is Wizards Unite worth it in 2020?
Wizards Unite remains a hidden gem among AR games even a year after its release. It doesn’t yet have the player numbers and thus the attention that Pokémon GO has, but Wizards Unite does not need to hide behind its big brother.
The developers keep introducing new events to the game. Brilliant events take place regularly, highlighting special collectible objects. Additionally, every month there is a Community Day that should entice you to go outside.
Especially during the COVID-19 crisis, Wizards Unite reacted admirably, making it significantly easier to play from home.
Generally, the developers pay close attention to the community and implement features that are in demand. This is a point that Wizards Unite likely does better than Pokémon GO. In Pokémon GO, there is often criticism that Niantic does not listen to its players.
Pros
Brilliant graphics for a mobile game
Almost every creature from the Harry Potter series is represented there
Hardly any bugs that degrade the game experience
Regular events always bring new challenges
The 3 professions make the AR game deeper and add the typical MMO factor of classes to the battles
Cons
The powerful competitor Pokémon GO captures many players from the target audience
Encounters with collectible objects are often lengthy and not easily resolved while walking
The entry is slightly more complex and requires more time to understand
Potential: Positive Future
Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is a brilliant game that holds a lot of potential. The major problem currently is that it is overshadowed too much by Pokémon GO. The target audience of AR fans is well covered by Pokémon GO, and Wizards Unite has not really managed to capture a large new audience for itself yet.
The developers are continuously working on the game: Especially through the many events, players never get the feeling that there is nothing to do. The team listens to the fans’ desires and earns points with the community.
The team now needs to ensure that more interested parties take a look at the AR game. It offers a lot of potential, and especially fans of Harry Potter can dream and feel like real wizards in this game.
If Wizards Unite continues like this, it could experience significant growth, as summer is approaching and people are beginning to go outdoors more after the peak of the COVID crisis. There are good opportunities to explore the city with Wizards Unite and engage in some wizard battles against Found Guardians.

The largest streamer on Twitch, Turner “Tfue” Tenney, is reportedly cheating in Fortnite: Battle Royale. At least that’s what a professional player claims: Tfue is said to be using forbidden macros and key binds, it is said.
This is the situation: The Fortnite professional Williams “Zayt” Aubin, who was among the favorites at the 2019 Fortnite World Championship, accused 6 other players from the Fortnite scene of cheating.
He made this accusation in Twitter posts, which he deleted shortly afterwards. However, screenshots were secured. In the first post, he said he would expose all professionals who use “double movement macros”.
Below, he showed a screenshot from the official Epic Games site, where the rules for the FNCS Invitational tournament were listed. It clearly states that the use of such programs is prohibited.
Which professionals are allegedly cheating? In another tweet, he allegedly pointed his finger at the Fortnite professionals Tfue, UnknownArmy, Zexrow, BuckeFPS, Khanada, and Kreo. But the tweets were quickly deleted and Zayt also did not provide any evidence for his accusations.
FortniteIntel asked the Fortnite professional Zayt for a statement on this topic. He responded: “So far, there is no evidence against anyone except Tfue.”
Professional is convinced that Tfue is cheating
What does the Fortnite professional say? Even though Zayt cannot confirm that the other 5 accused players are using these cheats, he seems firmly convinced that Tfue is indeed cheating.
What are the professionals supposed to have used? The “double moving” allows “mouse and keyboard” players to move in one direction while looking in another. This also affects a player’s movement, making it easier and faster to run to the left or right.
But it can also help when building, as PC players can place building objects on the sides while running forward. This can be easily achieved by binding the movement keys to two different keys.
In a video, player “staht” shows how double moving affects the game. (via YouTube)
However, it becomes cheating when one uses macro software to bind the keys differently. With this software, one can assign the keys to just one keystroke, thus only needing to press one button to achieve the same benefits. But exactly this behavior, simulating pressing multiple keys with one key, is prohibited by Epic in its rules and thus would be considered “cheating.”
And this cheat is now being accused against professionals like Tfue. It is also not the first time that Tfue has been accused of cheating. For example, Ninja thought he encountered an aim-bot, which turned out to be Tfue who simply had such good aim.
