In June, World of Warships will start a collaboration with the “Warhammer 40,000” universe. This will bring new skins, commanders, and more. First images of this have already been revealed.
What’s new? The seas in World of Warships will soon appear significantly darker, thanks to the collaboration with Games Workshop’s “Warhammer 40k”. The nautical multiplayer game from Wargaming will feature ships inspired by the grim future of the Warhammer franchise in June, among other things.
A similar collaboration has already taken place in Wargaming’s “World of Tanks”, which introduced cool tanks in WH40K style.
What content is available? In a press release, Wargaming revealed that new content will include skins, camouflages, commanders, and much more.
Wargaming states: “Two of the largest factions in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the Imperium and Chaos, will be represented by unique and fearsome ships, with the following fearless commanders at the helm: Justinian Lyons XIII and Arthas Roqthar the Cold.”
How do the contents look?
This was showcased: For this announcement, two ships were already shown that present the new content.
They each represent one of the mentioned factions from WH40k. The ship of the Chaos faction shines in wicked red:
The second ship belongs to the Imperium faction and is therefore dominated by golden colors. This style also looks good on the ship from World of Warships:
How can you buy this? If you are interested in the contents, you can purchase a pre-sale package that will be released on May 27. This will also include flags. Additionally, players will receive special bonus missions where they can earn “Warhammer 40,000” boxes containing ships, commanders, and camouflages themed to match.
The entire content will then be available for purchase starting June 2020.
What do you think of the content? Do you find the collaboration good and have you been waiting to showcase your ships in this style?

Today, on May 20th, a new raid hour with Terrakion will take place in Pokémon GO. There you can also catch the shiny – if you have the right counters for Terrakion raids.
This is the raid hour: After the raid hour was canceled for several weeks due to the Corona crisis, it has been taking place regularly again since early May. Every Wednesday, a different Pokémon is highlighted. Recently, these were Giratina and Virizion.
Raid hour on May 20th with Terrakion – all information
When does the raid hour start? The raid hour with Terrakion starts as usual at 6:00 PM local time and ends at 7:00 PM. During this time, Terrakion will appear in almost all gyms.
What are the best counters to Terrakion? There are 7 types effective against Terrakion:
How many players are needed? If you have the best counters and the weather bonus available, you can even take down Terrakion with just two people. However, you have a better chance of success with three or four.
How do I play from home? The raid hour can also be played as a remote raid hour. With the help of remote raid passes, you can battle all raids in gyms that you can see on the map. If enough trainers live nearby, you can gather the necessary firepower together without having to meet on-site.
Anyone who doesn’t have Terrakion yet should definitely take advantage of the raid hour. This legendary monster is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

Together with the resolution of the bunker puzzle came a new secret in Call of Duty: Warzone – Bunker 11. Here you can earn a special weapon blueprint, nuclear weapons, and a big red button. MeinMMO shows you how to get into the bunker.
What’s going on with the bunkers in Warzone? Since the launch of Call of Duty: Warzone, underground bunker facilities, scattered all over the map, have been considered the biggest secret of the battle royale.
With the large Update 1.21 from May 19, players have come a little closer to solving the puzzle. Some bunkers can now be opened with the red keycards and offer plenty of loot. However, a real puzzle cannot simply be solved with an update.
One of the bunkers, number 11 northwest of the military base, still behind the fire station, cannot be opened with the keycards, but through a small quest. Here you need to crack a code. But instead of getting one step closer to the solution of the big bunker puzzle, it feels like we are back at the beginning of the next mystery.
However, it is worth cracking Bunker 11 at least once, as you will receive a weapon blueprint for the MP7.
Warzone Bunker 11 – Nuclear Weapons Facility under Verdansk
What can be found in Bunker 11? As in the other facilities, you will find plenty of loot here as well. Piles of boxes, cash, and weapons await you. But this bunker is special. In addition to the loot fest, you will find:
A computer that can be “rebooted”
A chamber with an unknown blueprint weapon
A “glowing red button”
A room where disassembled atomic bombs can be seen
And here the next puzzle seems to begin. Because although there are some interaction opportunities in the bunker, these only trigger trivial things, and it seems that there is more behind it.
A “glowing red button” inside Bunker 11. The lamp under the button lights up red, but it could also potentially glow green and trigger something bigger.
How can I enter Bunker 11? If you want to see for yourself, you can go on the hunt for the right code for Bunker 11. It should be noted that it is not so easy to open the doors of the nuclear hideout. It’s best to try in the Plunder mode. Even when “Blood Money” is active, your chances are better here.
Solution of the Bunker Easter Eggs in Detail
How do I solve the puzzle? The CoD YouTuber “eColiEspresso” has shown with an English video how to enter the secret Bunker 11. MeinMMO explains the steps in detail. We have embedded the video here for you:

You will find phones scattered all over the map. You may have noticed interaction symbols that do not trigger anything when you “activate” the devices. Since the update, the response of the devices has become more detailed, allowing you to start the hunt for Bunker 11. The devices at the following locations are likely to qualify as “activation phones”:
Players have now found 16 possible phone locations where you can start your hunt for Bunker 11. Source: reddit
To find the right phone, you need to check the locations and hope that one of them starts ringing. But it also has to be the right phone. In total, you can receive 3 responses:
The sound of a connection loss
A sound track where you hear noises after a few seconds, more likely indicating an “error”. Like the sound in a quiz show when the wrong answer is given
With the correct sound track, you hear noises more like a telephone hold music. They sound more cheerful and indicate a “Well done”. Between 2 of these sounds, you hear 3 words that give the hint for the next phones
You can listen to the last two sound tracks in the video above at 2:20 minutes.
Step 2 – Decode the bunker code in German
Once you have the correct sound track, things get tricky. The recording has poor quality and is partly in Russian. Between the two hold music sounds, the voice tells you 3 words.
Each of these words represents a number that reveals the location of a phone with which you need to interact next. Remember the words and the order. Here is the map with the location of Bunker 11, along with the code words and the corresponding phones.
At location 9 “Dam”, there are two phones (code numbers 9 and 10). Source: reddit
The associated numbers of the phones have been discovered by players through interaction with the devices. When you use a ringing phone, you will hear a kind of Morse code. The number of signals tells you which phone you are currently using.
Step 3 – Activate phones in the correct order
Once you have deciphered the sound track and know the 3 locations of the correct phones, go to the devices in the order they were mentioned on the sound track. So if you heard the numbers 5 – 6 – 2, first go to phone 5, then 6, and finally 2.
Interact with the devices and listen to the sound carefully. You will hear Morse signals, and if the number of “beeps” matches your digit, you are in the right place. If not, you will hear the error tone.
The third phone then confirms the solution of the puzzle. If you hear the cheerful hold music here again, you can make your way to Bunker 11 and explore the nuclear weapons facility yourself. Take a look around in the facility and on a table you will find the hidden MP7 blueprint.

What’s next? Inside the bunker, there are again new interaction opportunities that do not give a direct hint as to what they actually trigger. Although they have minor effects in the bunker, such as changed displays on a monitor or the release of smoke from the room with the atomic warheads, there is a suspicion that there is more behind it.
After all, there are still many computer terminals in Verdansk, similar to those in the puzzle Bunker 11, for which it is still completely unclear what they are for. Whether the bunker puzzle is already solvable or only unfolds properly with Season 4, we will see soon.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, a controller nerf on PC will be coming soon, after it had already caused some discussions. This is exactly what the professional Tyler “Ninja” Blevins wished for.
This is the situation: For the 12.60 update, data miners and content creators received an email from Epic Games explaining what changes the developers want to make to Fortnite in the upcoming updates.
They mentioned that they want to make adjustments to PC controllers and gather more information on this.

The nerf is expected to occur next week, as they do not want to make any changes before the tournament final of the FNCS Invitational, which starts on May 23, 2020.
How the changes will impact the game is still unknown. However, it is likely that the aim assist for controllers on PC will be adjusted, as this topic is controversial.
Ninja’s Wish Comes True
What was Ninja’s wish? The professional made a call on Twitter encouraging controller players to finally speak up about aim assist. After the FNCS tournament, it was noted that many players in the top 14 were using controllers on PC.
This was a sign that aim assist on controllers must be too strong and something should be done about it. Professionals such as Ninja and Aydan therefore wished for a nerf.
How is the topic of aim assist received by the community? But aim assist is not only a big issue for Ninja. It has already caused several discussions in the community. When the first player won a tournament with a controller, the debate about aim assist flared up.
His victory must have only been achieved through this, and this is seen as proof that aim assist is simply too strong if a controller player loses to a keyboard and mouse player. At least that’s the reactions.
Other streamers think they contributed to it: Ninja’s rival Tfue believes he is responsible for the changes. He posted on Twitter that it only took a few Warzone streams for something to finally happen:

He had not played Fortnite for 2 days because he found the game unfair in its current state. (via Twitter). Now he presumably thinks that Epic responded to bring him “back in”.
In contrast, a young Fortnite professional was banned during the FNCS Invitational in the middle of the tournament. He was accused of having several files for an aim bot installed on his PC. Despite all the evidence being quite clear, the young professional had a few creative excuses to defend himself.

In The Elder Scrolls Online returns to Skyrim with the upcoming chapter addon Greymoor. The underworld of the “Blackreach” also plays a role. Our author Jürgen Horn was already traveling with the developers in Skyrim before the release and took a closer look.
How did we get the information about Blackreach and Skyrim? Our Mein-MMO author Jürgen Horn had the opportunity to take a detailed look at the new areas and content of Greymoor before the release.
Although every ESO player can explore Skyrim on the test server, Jürgen was also accompanied by developers Jeremy Sera, the Lead Content Designer, and Ed Stark, the Zone Lead.
Deluxe tour through Skyrim with the developers
This is what the city of Solitude looks like: The developers were excited to show me the new addon. So we first ran to Solitude, the famous city from Skyrim.
Everywhere there were the wolf banners of High King Svagrim hanging, and the city seemed much more “Nordic” than in the old Skyrim.
Because Skyrim is set in the distant future when the province of Skyrim is occupied by the Imperials. However, during the ESO time, the architecture is still in the style of the indigenous proud Nords. Still, one immediately feels a cozy sense of nostalgia and recognition.
The banner of High King Svagrim is waving in Solitude.
And so the exploration continued: Later we explored the famous Dragon Bridge (which this time really is made of dragon bones) and the area around Morthal. It was supposed to be the fertile granary of Skyrim, but in ESO everything is snow-covered and frozen. Finding out the secret behind this climate disaster is supposed to be one of the major quests of the expansion, according to the developers.
We also encountered gruesome things in the beautiful winter landscape. First, we were attacked by a nasty skeleton wolf, and then suddenly a Chaurus monster appeared.
“Yes, they are rarely found on the surface,” said one of the developers. “I often overlook them, once I thought it was an ore deposit to mine and then that beast ate me!”.
Such Chaurus insect monsters sometimes roam the wild and are really dangerous!
We also witnessed one of the dreaded Storm Atronachs up close. The closer one gets to these new open-world challenges, the more intense the red storm clouds become, indicating the presence of dark forces. But since there were only three of us, we made a detour around the creepy event.
This is how eerie and beautiful Blackreach is in ESO
Finally to Blackreach: After various dark powers were mentioned underground, the developers wanted to finally lead me to the origin of all these dark occurrences. They are all hidden in the depths of Blackreach, the vast cave system beneath Skyrim.
According to the developers, about 40 percent of the game world in Greymoor is underground.
This is how massive Blackreach is in Greymoor.
So Blackreach is truly enormous. And as the developers teleport me underground, I quickly realize that as well.
My journey begins in the underground city of Dusktown, which lies in a massive cavern. The developers describe it as “kind of like Deadwood in the underworld”. So a pioneer city of fortune seekers and scoundrels who hide down there and mine the rare plants and soul stones found there.
And indeed, beautiful crystal formations glow everywhere in the darkness.
Beautiful soulstone formations “grow” in Blackreach.
This is how diverse Blackreach is: But that is by no means all that Blackreach has to offer. Besides the new crystal caves, there are the familiar places from Skyrim with fluorescent giant mushrooms and will-o’-the-wisps.
They grow in different areas of the vast underground that we explore together. “It was important for us to show both the familiar and the new,” my companions noted here.
This is how stylish the chief vampire resides: At the finale of our journey through Blackreach, we come to a truly dark place in the black heart of Skyrim: The namesake fortress Greymoor. This is a massive stronghold that was completely built underground.
The designers truly let their imagination run wild here. The phrase “Creepy Vampire Fortress of Death” comes to mind when I see the gigantic castle:
Greymoor is built from a strange, reddish-brown stone
Huge banners of the vampire legion hang everywhere
Everywhere are small towers and spires erected, all in the style of a spooky gothic cathedral
The towers seem to be merging with the black stone of Blackreach
The whole fortress exudes an aura of eeriness and power.
The fortress in the background is Greymoor.
So exactly the kind of house that an immortal and bitterly evil master vampire would build. According to the developers, the vampires would reside here and advance their dark plans.
A look at the linked map above shows that the vampire fortress Greymoor makes up a really hefty chunk of Blackreach. One will probably spend a lot of time in this fortress of death after which the entire addon is named.
This is how you can reside like a vampire lord: But not only the arch-vampire resides stylishly in the creepy castle. ESO players can buy their own vampire house not far from Greymoor for their heroes. Even if they are not vampires.
Jürgen’s conclusion – I want vacation in Blackreach!
After my tour through the new regions of Greymoor, it was clear that Blackreach was my favorite. I am usually not a fan of dark dungeons and caves. But the colorful shimmering mushrooms and crystals of Blackreach, together with the vampires and other subterranean monstrosities, truly invite exploration and conquest.
Just like it was back in Skyrim, but now even bigger, more beautiful, and with more vampires! Furthermore, the dark and bizarre underground remains a particularly strong contrast to the white-gray regions of the overworld.
But what impressed me the most was Greymoor, the colossal fortress complex. I am really excited about what gruesome secrets await me there. Moreover, the complex is truly huge and should ensure a very long and extensive quest session. Therefore, I am now even more looking forward to battling vampires in ESO.

The Elder Scrolls Online will soon receive the new expansion Greymoor. Recently, there was a new exclusive teaser showing surprising new details about the story and your antagonist in the new ESO chapter.
What does the teaser show?Greymoor will be released for PC on May 26, 2020 and to really hype things up, the developers at ZeniMax have already provided us with an exclusive teaser for the big intro cinematic of Greymoor here at MeinMMO.

In it, you see an expedition of the grim Nords as they venture further into the territory of the Vampires after their first battle with them from the first Greymoor cinematic. There, they find a place full of strange, roughly humanoid “vessels” in an underground facility.
It seems that the warriors are unimpressed, as they nonchalantly stomp through the scene. But just as they are about to leave the room, the “vessels” suddenly start to glow, and a hairy claw breaks out of one of them. Then the teaser ends, hinting at the release of Greymoor. We should then see what happens next.
All of this is revealed in the teaser
What does this mean exactly? Those who only watch the teaser may not understand much at first. Who is out there and what is happening? However, our ESO experts from the MeinMMO editorial team have taken a closer look at the scenes and noted the following exciting details:
The strange vessels have already been seen in the trailer for the vampires in Greymoor. They were referred to as a kind of secret legion of the vampires and appeared like a type of golem.
The vessels are really large. They are almost as huge as Lyris’ Titan-born. That is the big woman with the hefty axe, who you also see in the teaser. And Lyris is about 2 heads taller than the average Nord!
One of the Nord warriors kicks a kind of amphora on the ground. It is empty. From our tour with the developers through Greymoor, we know that such vessels are always at the center of the grief storms and absorb the dark energy of the storms.
The storms are likely summoned by the dark witches from the DLC dungeon Eiskap. These witches use creepy willow branches for their rituals. And if you look closely, the “heads” of the vessels are covered with strange roots and weaving.
The vessel in the teaser is empty, but the golem-like containers seem to glow strangely. Something inside must have been activated. It seems likely that the grief storms on the surface provide the energy for the strange vessels.
At the end, a claw breaks out of the vessel. It is probably not golems, but really just a kind of storage object.
The claw is hairy and looks like it belongs to a werewolf. Indeed, the developers have vaguely hinted at werewolves in the vampire armies.
Additionally, in the previously released vampire trailer, you can see how the bloodsuckers perform gruesome experiments on innocents and somehow alter them. Could it be that the unfortunate victims end up in such a vessel to become special, vampire-serving werewolves?
After all, there was also talk of a “legion” of vampires gathering in their dark fortress Greymoor in the underground. Therefore, we suspect that besides vampires, we will also encounter their creepy werewolf monsters.
So there are both classic horror monsters in Greymoor as enemies. But what exactly breaks out of the vessel and what Lyris and her warriors will do next, we will probably only find out at the release of Greymoor. Then we can finally pummel the vampires ourselves!

In Destiny 2, a new feature for leveling gear is coming soon, which the community is hotly debating. How do the MeinMMO readers see this contentious topic?
What is this feature? Recently, Bungie presented in detail how they plan to retire legendary gear in Destiny 2. Basically, the changes mean that many of the weapons and armor will soon have an expiration date. Once this date has passed, the items can no longer be leveled up, thus becoming irrelevant for certain activities.
This is how you voted: The MeinMMO survey ran from May 15 to May 18, and 1,630 of you voted diligently. Each reader only had one vote available.
The vote distribution looks like this:
An excellent idea: 5.95 %(97 votes)
Sounds good: 12.64 %(206 votes)
It’s OK: 13.68 %(223 votes)
It’s not good: 16.75 % (273 votes)
I think it’s terrible: 50.98 % (831 votes)
The result shows that half of your votes find the new system not only improvable but also frustrating. It is also noticeable: the more negative the response option, the more support it receives across the board.
The middle ground of the responses is quite close together in terms of votes – all three options are around 12 to 16%. Only the two opposing poles show strong fluctuations: “excellent idea” with 5.95% and “I think it’s terrible” with 50.98% votes are the two extremes.
Thank you for the illustration, Professor Cayde
From the numbers, a negative tone clearly prevails. Do your comments under the survey confirm this, or does it look completely different there?
The new system kills your appetite for loot
This is what the negative voices say: Also in the comments under the survey, you often express that you are not particularly happy with the new system:
I don’t like this principle, especially since the timer for the “half-life” of the weapons starts from their release and not from acquiring them. This means that anyone who finds time for the old Redrix, Luna, or ritual weapons from the previous season during the summer lull will get a weapon that is only usable to a limited extent after an eternal grind.
In addition, there are more criticisms and concerns. These three aspects are what concern you the most:
The grind for strong items loses a lot of its appeal due to the expiration date
You don’t want to part with your beloved guns
It particularly bothers you that weapons can be “reintroduced” from retirement and thus are supposed to be obtained again with only minimal changes (or just with new power levels)
But not much new will come. The weapons that “expire” will come back sooner or later, only to disappear again a year later.
This is what the positive voices say: Surprisingly, more comments under the survey are favorably or at least interested toward the new system than the survey numbers would suggest.
For example, MeinMMO reader Der_Frek writes: “Not a big deal. Whether I’m farming Pinnacle Gear or new weapons for endgame activities is pretty much the same. In most activities, power level is not really relevant anyway. Thus, the weapons are not completely obsolete.”
Others readers agree and add that other games also use such a system. Lighningsoul even notes, “It’s basically the EXACT same system that was already there during D1 times.”
King of the Taken is considered the best Destiny expansion and left behind a lot of gear
However, along with this comes a concern for many of you, namely how Bungie will implement the changes:
Limiting weapons to a usage period of one year is not a problem in itself. In most MMORPGs, it is common for weapons to be replaced by new ones with new content. The idea itself is not bad, but I believe Bungie will mess up the implementation again.
Do you see your opinion reflected in the survey results? Can you find any merit in the topic now, or has your stance possibly even changed since the announcement of weapon retirement and is still quite painful?
What will certainly please the community is that a fix for the bugged quest “The Lie” is coming this week. Then the Guardians can finally enjoy their hard-earned rewards.

The character in Minecraft is probably one of the strongest video game heroes of all time. The total weight he can carry is impressive.
In Minecraft, not everything goes according to the laws of our reality. Especially the weight that the character can effortlessly carry around might be a bit puzzling for some players. We are not just talking about 64 stone blocks of the size 1x1x1 meter – but significantly more. A fan on Reddit calculated how much maximum weight your Minecraft hero can carry.
Who calculated this? The Reddit user Corrupted_Milk created a small animation and explained what mass the Minecraft hero can carry. He starts with the heaviest item in the game and keeps increasing the scaling until the character’s inventory is completely full.
He starts with a Netherite ingot, which consists of 4 Netherite scraps and 4 gold ingots. Netherite has no real weight, which is why only the gold components are used for the calculation. One gold ingot already corresponds to a weight of 2,144 kg in Minecraft – because an ingot is one-ninth of a 1x1x1 block of gold. This makes a Netherite ingot already reach a hefty 8,578 kg!
This is how the calculation continues: Corrupted_Milk then connects the items further to increase the weight until the player’s inventory is full. This results in the following steps:
9x Netherite ingots result in 1x Netherite block weighing 77,000 kg
64x Netherite blocks (a full stack) are already at 4,940,800 kg
27 stacks of Netherite blocks fill an entire Shulker box and weigh 133,401,600 kg
36 Shulker boxes fill the player’s inventory and weigh 4,802,437,600 kg
If you also fill the character’s off-hand, a few million kilograms are added on top.
The final result is a weight of 4,835,808,000 kg!
With such strength, even Link with the Titan gloves would turn green with envy.
Steve (the hero) is clearly one of the strongest video game characters of all time.
Can there be more? Some players note that the calculations could have also included Ender chests. However, these were consciously left out, as Ender chests in the “story” of Minecraft are more about teleportation and thus the weight is not really carried by the character. Also, armor could theoretically still be added, but this has been omitted – the few extra kilos don’t matter much.
So you have another fun fact for your next party when they’re allowed again. You don’t need to thank us.
Not enough yet? Then here’s another detail: Baby pigs in Minecraft are even a bit stronger than your hero. Because the character could still ride on the baby pigs while his inventory is this full.

Over 2700 people participated in our survey for the Community Day in June and July at Pokémon GO. Squirtle, Caterpie, Sandshrew, and Gastly were the candidates. Who won?
What’s it about? Community Days take place every month in Pokémon GO. Usually, the developers at Niantic specify which Pokémon will be the focus during the event. However, in June and July, the two Pokémon in focus are those that trainers can vote for. This happens via Twitter, and everyone has one vote.
Over 2700 people voted, showing two clear favorites that you want to see during the events.
The winners of the survey – which Pokémon do you want the most?
This is how you decided: The survey clearly shows that two candidates have many fans. Caterpie and Gastly are very close together.
On May 20th at 11:00 AM, the survey was evaluated with 2781 votes. These votes are distributed as follows:
Caterpie with 821 votes – that’s about 30%
Gastly with 792 votes – that’s about 29%
Squirtle with 623 votes – that’s about 22%
Sandshrew with 545 votes – that’s about 19%
In the first hours after the start of the survey, it became very clear how tight the race was between Caterpie and Gastly. At times, it was fewer than 10 votes that separated these two Pokémon.
What does it look like officially? Niantic also conducted a small preliminary vote on Twitter before the official survey started. They asked: If you had to vote for Community Day today, which Pokémon would get your vote?
A proud 259,116 people voted on Twitter, choosing Gastly as their favorite. Caterpie comes in second place, followed by Squirtle and in last place Sandshrew.

Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, many people worldwide are restricted. Some of them have therefore turned to video games more intensively. Steam and other platforms set records. However, the most successful game in the world is precisely affected negatively by the crisis.
What is the most successful game in the world? The analysis website SuperData regularly compiles a ranking of the most successful games in the world. The ranking is based on the revenue generated.
In March 2020, according to this site, the most successful game on PC was Dungeon Fighter Online.
What kind of game is this? Dungeon Fighter Online is an action beat ’em up where you can explore a side-scrolling world together with friends. Your character can improve like in a role-playing game and thus become stronger over time. If you don’t just want to explore the game world, you can also fight against other players in PvP.
Closed internet cafés result in lost revenue
How much did revenue decrease? According to Nexon’s quarterly report, the company lost around 42% of its revenue in China compared to Q1 of 2019. A large portion of this was likely attributed to Dungeon Fighter Online.
Nevertheless, 330 million dollars were still generated in this region alone. Overall, Nexon achieved 810 million dollars in revenue. For comparison:
Information about Dungeon Fighter Online in China.
What is the reason for the decline in revenue? According to Nexon, there were two main reasons for this significant gap between 2019 and 2020:
Last year, there were strong sales during the New Year’s Sale
This year, revenues dropped because many internet cafés remained closed.
In light of the second quarter of 2020, however, the company shows a positive outlook. They expect an increase in revenue due to the reopening of cafés.
MapleStory and FIFA drive boom in Korea
How did it go otherwise for Nexon? While revenues for Dungeon Fighter Online decreased, Nexon managed to achieve an increase of 78% in Korea compared to Q1 2019.
FIFA Online 4, a mix of FIFA 17 (gameplay) and FIFA 18 (hardware, animations, and other components). Unlike in other regions, a new installment of the series does not come out every year in Asia.
Thanks to Korea, Nexon was able to partially offset the weak quarter from China. Traditionally, the first quarter is by far the strongest quarter of the year for Nexon.
Nexon’s revenues in China and Korea. Despite the decline, the figures are strong, especially compared to the last quarters of 2019.
What’s next? Regarding the development of new titles, Nexon stated that there will be no significant delays due to the coronavirus, as mentioned in the quarterly report.
A larger new title is Kartrider: Drift, a new mobile racing game expected to be released in the West in 2020.
Power and loss. An eternal vicious circle in World of Warcraft, frustrating players. How can the MMORPG escape this problem?
World of Warcraft is an online game that has evolved over more than 15 years. With each new expansion came smaller and larger systems in World of Warcraft that were meant to provide players with joy or frustration.
However, in recent expansions, a new vicious circle has crept in, from which there seems to be little escape.
The vicious circle of powerful systems
To explain which vicious circle is being referred to, here is a brief summary of the extremely powerful abilities and buffs that have been present in the latest expansion.
Here was the new system in Warlords of Draenor: The problem started in the Warlords of Draenor expansion. The garrison was a pretty cool feature that brought numerous small advantages to the players. Faster mounts, portals across the entire continent, more resources, and an army of followers that one could sometimes even take along as companions.
However, by the end of the expansion, the garrison had fallen out of favor with many players because the constant interaction with numerous servants reminded them of a mobile game.
The garrison was a major feature of WoD – opinions about it are mixed.
So it was with Legion: With the launch of Legion, the garrison was forgotten, and players could obtain their cool artifact weapons. This was the big feature of the expansion: legendary weapons that got better over time, had an extensive story, and generated more power with each patch. In addition, there were legendary items, of which each character could only carry one or two at a time. These changed the playstyle or provided a significant performance boost.
That was good as long as it lasted. The artifact weapons gave players a sense of power. A strength they did not want to lose so quickly.
In BFA, players felt weaker with every level-up
So it was in recent years with BfA: But then came Battle for Azeroth. Even with the pre-patch, the artifact weapons lost a significant part of their strength, losing all talents and properties. Five levels later, players also had to say goodbye to the legendary items that no longer had any effect past level 115.
The artifact weapons are just a skin now – their effects are all disabled.
A feeling of emptiness arose among players. The strange feeling of losing a bit more power with every level-up, becoming not stronger but weaker.
This gap was supposed to be filled by Azerite abilities. Although the necklace “Heart of Azeroth” initially had no talents, shoulder, chest, and head gear had several properties each, from which players could choose.
A few patches later, an emergency system (that hadn’t been planned before) came in the form of Essences for the Heart of Azeroth. This at least soothed some players, as it gave one a sense of power level again similar to Legion.
Now, with Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth, Blizzard has introduced another new system, namely the Corruption effects. These are so powerful that they can account for up to 30% (more for tanks) of damage for players. Aside from the criticism of the system, such as the currently high random factor, it is extremely powerful. It has given our characters a new layer of strong, devastating effects alongside a legendary cloak.
With Shadowlands, the cycle begins anew
This is how it might be in Shadowlands: With the next expansion Shadowlands, this vicious circle will continue. Azerite armors, Corruption effects, and the Heart of Azeroth will be deactivated over the leveling process. Currently, at level 55 (after the level squish), it will be over.
Then a new feeling of powerlessness arises. We will feel the loss of beloved, important effects that made the character more powerful.
Corruption is an important system. It brings strong, devastating effects.
The developers are already aware of this and want to make the transition not as “brutal” as it appeared in Battle for Azeroth. Therefore, players will already learn about the covenants and their special abilities while playing the leveling areas and will have some experiences with soul binding, which also promises further character power. A system that is supposed to be further developed throughout Shadowlands and will surely receive additional small perks and abilities.
Essentially, this is just another round in the vicious circle.
Players gain new power through new systems.
The next expansion wipes out this power.
This creates the need for new systems to satisfy the hunger for more character power.
A new system is implemented, which will again be replaced by the next addon.
4 possible solutions for the vicious circle in WoW
In the meantime, this vicious circle of “new, cool abilities” that are taken away again at the end of the expansion has been noticed by a large part of the players. At the start of an addon, the joy of a new world with cool content is always overshadowed by the bitter aftertaste that many old abilities disappear into oblivion.
Expand existing systems: That would be a step back to the “original” version of World of Warcraft. With a new expansion, there would then only be a new set of talents and perhaps one or two new abilities for each class. This would allow for continuous progress that evolves over time and has something new to offer with each addon without losing the old.
Just more talents? Would that be a good idea?
However, we have already experienced the disadvantages. Always introducing new abilities and talents led to every class eventually being able to do almost everything. And “more abilities” are only good if these abilities fulfill a real purpose. Because they don’t always do that, even in Shadowlands.
Effects in a closed environment: One possible solution would be to only allow special buffs and strengths in a closed environment and design them specifically for that. An example is the talents of the Tormented Visions. Here, there is a range of effects that can only be triggered during the visions. It will likely be similar in the Tower of Torghast in Shadowlands. There are numerous buffs and temporary “talents” that make each visit unique. Every player knows that these effects only work in Torghast. Therefore, losing these effects in a world without Torghast (so after Shadowlands) wouldn’t be so bad.
The problem here would be that buffs become increasingly granular and specific. If the character has different buffs and effects in each environment, it becomes hard to keep track of what one can actually do and what is simply an environmental effect that is only active in certain situations.
In Torghast, there are effects that are only active there.
Permanent effects that last: At the end of Legion, many players wished that they could keep their artifact weapon and also use it in the new expansion. This would be a way to carry beloved effects into the next addon. One could simply carry powerful items like the artifact weapons or the Heart of Azeroth. Because why should the heart of the planet no longer be powerful and be replaced by a green quest reward? At least in terms of story, this explanation doesn’t make sense.
This would only work if the individual systems are not too complex so as not to scare off newcomers. At the same time, this also hinders the development of new systems. If more and more “artifacts” like the Heart of Azeroth or the Ashbringer are in the game, new gear becomes less significant, as there are fewer item slots available.
Keeping the Heart of Azeroth forever? It would make sense, but is it fun?
Abolition of new systems: Another possibility would be for World of Warcraft to simply not introduce any new systems that grant players more power. WoW would then revert to some fundamental principles of MMOs and RPGs, namely the item spiral. Even without additional systems, players could simply use new gear.
The disadvantage here would be that an expansion would have few “selling points” that could be effectively marketed. New features not related to the strength of the character may not be as interesting to players. That could also be a reason why there is still no housing.
There doesn’t seem to be an optimal, obvious solution to the problem. Every decision Blizzard makes would come with some disadvantage. Perhaps that’s exactly why the vicious circle continues to run. Because once everyone has become accustomed to it, it might not be that bad after all.
What do you think? Do you have a good, obvious solution to the problem? Or do you see no problem at all?

In the competitive shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the Danish team Astralis is currently the top team. The 24-year-old player Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander is now on sick leave for 3 months. He suffers from symptoms of stress and burnout. This does not seem to be an isolated case.
This is the player: Lukas “Gla1ve” Rossander is a rifler for Team Astralis. This is currently the strongest CS:GO team in the world. They became world champions at the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019.
In a ranking that presents the best CS:GO players in the world every year, Rossander ranked 8th in 2018. He has been playing Counter-Strike for a long time and has accumulated a prize money of 1.6 million US dollars. This places the Dane 4th worldwide (via esportearnings).

This is what the player says: Rossander says he has been feeling for a long time that he suffers from symptoms of stress and burnout. The team and his teammates have done many things to help him overcome these issues. But they persisted.
Now he and his doctor have decided that he needs a break. He then submitted his sick leave to Astralis.
He will now use his time for 3 months to fully recover and then return to the team.
Rossander says this was the most difficult decision of his life. It is hard to put health first, but he believes it is necessary now.
Hotline for CS:GO professionals with problems comes
Is this an isolated case? Apparently not. Shortly after Rossander’s announcement, the player association of CS:GO, the CSPPA, spoke out (via twitter).
They say they are being contacted by more and more CS:GO players who suffer from problems such as anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, or substance abuse.
The organization now wants to continue working to create a healthier environment in eSports so that the sport can continue to function.
Therefore, the association wants to collaborate with two universities to conduct a study among CS:GO players. Additionally, they want to set up a hotline for professionals to report their problems.
The association also wants to help players through meetings to manage stress and anxiety disorders.
He is one of the best CS:GO professionals in the world and has previously been overplayed: s1mple.
How intense a CS:GO player’s life on tour can be was felt by one of the best players, Oleksandr “simple” Kostyliev.
He was mentally so exhausted after an extensive tournament phase with his team, which he was constantly traveling with, that even at home, when he played CS:GO on Twitch, he spoke to teammates who were not there.

Update 12.60 in Fortnite is here and brings back a glider, new challenges that could be coming soon, and content for the “Save the World” mode.
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.
Llama Glider is back
The Dragacon glider was temporarily removed from the game due to a bug. Now it is back in the game, but Epic had to make some changes to it.
Players who had purchased the glider and are not satisfied with it after the changes can refund it for V-Bucks until June 19, 2020, without consuming a return ticket (via Twitter).
With update 12.60, data miners found new challenges related to the Agency, which are supposed to give players free rewards. Among other things, you can unlock a glider, a weapon wrap, and a pickaxe.
The challenges should be coming soon, but it is not yet known when exactly they will appear.

In the Party Royale mode, 2 items were taken out of the vault and are now available in the mode. You can now find and use the Grappler and the Jet-Pack there. Both can be obtained from vending machines.
The Grappler and the Jet-Pack can be found in Party Royale mode
New in Save the World
What’s new? In Save the World, the pirate theme continues and brings back a weapon and 2 new heroes to the event shop. You can find all other changes to the Save the World mode on the official Epic Games page.
Seawolf Jonesy in the Event Shop: The pirate hero Seawolf Jonesy is coming. His strength is high waves and he increases shock wave damage by 55%.
He will be available in the event shop from May 23 at 2:00 AM to June 20, 2020, at 2:00 AM.
Pirate Ken in the Event Shop: The hero Pirate Ken comes to Save the World to loot. His advantage is foggy seas and a smoke bomb fully restores your shields.
Pirate Ken will be available in the event shop from May 30 at 2:00 AM to June 20 at 2:00 AM.
Pirate weapon returns: The “Thunderstorm Gun” returns, allowing you to show the shells your power. This weapon fires a huge salvo shot.
The rifle will be available in the event shop from May 23 at 2:00 AM to June 20, 2020, at 2:00 AM.
Update 12.60 brought back the Dragacorn glider after a bug was finally fixed.
However, a pickaxe that was also removed indefinitely does not seem to be back in the game yet. Epic had to disable it as well because a bug turned it into a Pay2Win item that gave players a strong advantage.

Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem are coming to Raids in Pokémon GO. These legendary dragon Pokémon will significantly change the meta-game, as they are among the best attackers. How strong are they?
What’s new? On the evening of May 19, 2020, the Niantic team announced that Pokémon GO will soon receive reinforcements with three new dragon Pokémon. These are the legendary Pokémon Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem.
All of them will soon appear in level 5 raids. First, Reshiram will take the lead.
When will Reshiram arrive? On Tuesday, May 26 at 10 PM, Reshiram will join the T5 raids of Pokémon GO. It will remain in the game for three weeks and will then disappear again on June 16 at 10:00 PM German time.
It is assumed that the other two dragons will follow in the weeks after. However, Niantic has not announced this yet.
How to encounter it more easily: To ensure you can see the new Pokémon, raid hours will again take place in May and June. These hourly events will run on Wednesdays, ensuring that the raid boss appears in almost every gym.
The raid hours with Reshiram will take place on the following days from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM:
Wednesday, May 27, 2020
Wednesday, June 3, 2020
Wednesday, June 10, 2020
Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem in the meta – How strong are they?
What you need to know: The arrival of these dragons will likely have significant effects on the meta game and likely also on trainer battles.
Reshiram is a Dragon and Fire type Pokémon
Zekrom is a Dragon and Electric type Pokémon
Kyurem is a Dragon and Ice type Pokémon
Based on current analyses, all three dragons are expected to be very strong. It is assumed that they will retain the attacks and stats that they have been assigned in the Pokémon GO code so far. However, Niantic may still change this before the release.
If everything stays the same, the rankings will look as follows:
The best corruption of World of Warcraft is heavily nerfed. You should seriously consider whether you want to buy it.
The corruption system in World of Warcraft is quite controversial. However, with the introduction of a vendor for corruption effects, one of those effects is significantly weakened. Many fans are unhappy with this decision, although Blizzard provides good reasons for it.
What is changing? The effect of the corruption of “Gushing Wounds” is reduced by a whopping 35%, making it deal significantly less damage than before.
Why was Gushing Wounds so strong? The corruption Gushing Wounds was an outlier among the effects. For a relatively low corruption value, it provided a pretty strong DPS increase. In almost all classes, Gushing Wounds was the most powerful in many situations – whether against single targets or entire groups.
Corruption effects of your choice have been long desired – it finally comes true!
Why is Blizzard nerfing this? As there is now a vendor for corruption effects in World of Warcraft, the developers had to tone down Gushing Wounds a bit. Otherwise, all players would have just bought and used Gushing Wounds from the new vendor since, in most simulations, it is the best corruption overall. Now players have a greater variety and need to prepare for different encounters.
Blizzard has stated about this:
We try to make such changes only during the intervals of a balance patch, but currently Gushing Wounds is the most efficient corruption. In the past, when making changes to corruption effects, we decided to leave Gushing Wounds as it was because there is only one rank and the corruption was relatively hard to obtain.
However, with the introduction of a vendor for corruption effects, we expect that large amounts of Gushing Wounds will be even more effective than Infinite Stars, which has a disadvantage when fighting multiple targets.
The goal is clear – no corruption effect should be the perfect choice in every situation.
Other corruption effects are now becoming interesting.
When is the nerf coming? The nerf of Gushing Wounds is expected to come next week, earliest on May 26. It will probably coincide with the maintenance work on May 27.
What do you think about this nerf? A necessary evil? Or a clear case of “fun detected”?

No one would have expected this. It looks like you might soon be able to finally tackle the last step of the bugged quest “The Lie” in Destiny 2. A fix is indeed coming this week.
Many players are waiting for this: Many guardians are currently waiting for a solution to the bugged quest “The Lie”. This new quest went live last week and has since sparked heated debates.
What Bungie says now: A few hours ago, Bungie Help announced on Twitter that there will be maintenance on the backend of Destiny 2 today, May 20, starting at 7:00 PM (German time).
There will be no downtime. The background maintenance is to prepare for the next update – hotfix 2.8.1.3. This is expected to fix the issue with the broken quest “The Lie” on the coming Thursday, May 21.

So there is indeed a relatively timely solution – still this week.
This was the situation so far: Until recently, it seemed like there would be no solution for quite some time. Because yesterday, May 19, Destiny 2 received the new update 2.8.1.2. But the fix for The Lie was not included.
Furthermore, corresponding statements from the community manager dmg04 suggested that it might still take a while before a solution arrives. It was said that Bungie has problems reproducing the bug on their end – even though all guardians on the live servers are affected. Additionally, the fix would then still need to be tested and certified by Sony and Microsoft, which usually takes a few days.
In short: The fix was not included in the latest update. Hardly anyone would have expected an update before next week. But it is coming after all – and already tomorrow. Why it turned out to be quicker than apparently even Bungie initially assumed is still unclear.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone, a large new update was on the way. This brought a lot of content, but it also cost a lot of storage – an unwanted habit for CoD players.
In addition, there were adjustments like weapon changes and bug fixes. Also, the special Warzone feature, the Gulag, has been revised. All of this resulted in a quite extensive update, which again requires a lot of storage space.
Depending on the platform, the data package for the major mid-season update varied in size:
On PS4, it was about 22 GB
The Xbox One needed about 30 GB
On PC, it is also about 30 GB
These numbers are not exactly small – especially since Call of Duty: Modern Warfare already takes up a lot of space on PC and console (for colleague Benedict Grothaus, it takes up 193 GB on PC). And many players are slowly getting annoyed by the huge updates.
CoD updates can take a lot of time
Are MW & Warzone asking for too much?
This is how the players react: In the subreddit for Modern Warfare, there are currently two major discussions. On one hand, the contents are being discussed, such as the buff of the Holger 26.
Here, especially its secret variant, the assault rifle G36C, seems to convince the players: “I just tried it out. I think the G36C is now the best-handling assault rifle in the game,” reports one user (via reddit): “If only it had a heavy barrel now. The damage is still a bit low, but it is fast.”
This is the problem: The updates force many players to free up space on their storage media to keep MW and Warzone up to date. Especially on the consoles PS4 and Xbox One, this problem can quickly occur if you do not sufficiently expand storage or have only treated yourself to a smaller SSD as an upgrade. Sometimes, other games have to be deleted just to manage the update download and installation:
“This is the update that’s finally going to give me the last straw,” reports one user (via reddit): “When I want to update, I have to delete the last other game on my PS4.”
Others react with humor, like user “zhivagoo” (via reddit):
Another player humorously defends the download size, with the title: “Unpopular opinion: I love the size of these updates” (via reddit). He writes:
I was able to get a lot done around the house, did laundry, and so on. During this last update, I was able to translate Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire into Latin. And in this free time, I had a lot of time for self-reflection.
He could have played another game – but by now, nothing but Call of Duty is left on the drive. A jab at the storage space that Modern Warfare now requires.
Today, on Wednesday, May 20, the Fortnite servers will go down on all platforms (PC/Mac, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, iOS, Android). During this time, the new update 12.60 will be applied. What’s in the new patch?
Update 10:15 AM: The update 12.60 is now live. We will show you in the German patch notes what has changed in the game.
For the first time in Fortnite’s history, a “.60” update is being released in a season. Previously, the last updates of a season were always “.50”.
The update could bring new content and possibly changes to the map. But before players can go on an exploration tour, the servers will be taken down.
Fortnite servers will be taken down – when and for how long?
Downtime starts in the morning: The downtime will begin at 8:00 AM German time. At 7:30 AM, you can join a new round for the last time. After that, the servers will be unreachable and Fortnite will be down.
How long will the maintenance take? Based on the experiences of the past weeks and months, the work should be completed by around noon at the latest.
Players will have to skip a few rounds while the servers are unreachable
However, technical issues or other delays can extend the maintenance work. If this is the case, you will find out here.
When will the patch notes be released? Presumably, no patch notes for Epic Games’ Battle Royale mode will be published again.
If that is the case, we will compile the major changes and publish them here on MeinMMO in the form of German patch notes.
What new content does the update 12.60 bring?
What new features will there be in the Battle Royale mode? In the announcement from Fortnite Status, “The Agency” is mentioned. There might be map changes there. Here’s what we can expect:
All bugs that Epic is currently working on can be found in the Fortnite Trello.
What does the update bring for the Save the World mode? It is already known what we can expect for Save the World. These new features will be introduced with update 12.60:
Sea Wolf Jonesy will be available in the event shop from May 23
After the update, watch for “The Agency” on the Fortnite map if you have chosen Team Ghost or Shadow. Your choice could bring changes to the map as you can influence the story of Season 2. Since Fortnite Status provided a hint about this, it is even more likely that something will happen there.

This Thursday continues with the GSA League in Rainbow Six Siege. Many surprises occurred on the first matchday – and by the second, a trend might already be emerging. And it strongly favors the newcomers.
Which newcomers are we talking about? The focus is on the two teams FACT Gaming (formerly TRSH) and DIVIZON. They qualified for the E-Sports event by participating in the qualifier matches of the GSA League.
As newcomers, they belong to the eight teams of the GSA League, while the other teams were directly invited by Ubisoft. Two of them are even internationally active professionals and well-known figures: G2 Esports and Rogue.
However, the matches played so far indicate that these professionals might have some problems with the newcomers.
FACT and DIVIZON – Tenacious Underdogs?
Why the two teams are so interesting: Both FACT Gaming and DIVIZON were virtually unknown before the start of the qualifiers. They are (still) not proper professionals, they need to prove themselves and show how strong they really are.
On the first matchday, on May 14, they both performed outstandingly. DIVIZON defeated the opponent Rogue, an international professional team, with a score of 7:5. A close result, but one that shows how strong the newcomer is.
Despite a close game, DIVIZON managed to finish the final round flawlessly.
The German team FACT Gaming, on the other hand, proved to be even more impressive. They won against the traditional club Turtle eSport with a perfect match of 7:0, although some rounds were quite close.
What are their chances? After the first matchday, both teams are in the upper half of the table. This doesn’t say much yet. However, even the victory of the current title favorite G2 Esports against Team Secret (formerly OrgLess) with 7:4 was hard-earned.
This is how the table looks after the first matchday. Source: GSA-League.gg.
At the moment, it looks like FACT and DIVIZON have good chances – if not for victories, at least for strong rankings to make a name for themselves.
Their significant disadvantage, however, is that both have recently played a lot in the qualifier matches. This provides the other teams with plenty of material to analyze them, while the two teams can only start doing that with their opponents from now on.
This Thursday, May 21, Rogue will have to face the German team FACT Gaming. Since Rogue was already defeated by a newcomer before, FACT could really become a problem for them.
The outcome of this match could indicate which direction the aspiring professionals will develop.
Where can I watch?
If you want to watch it yourself, you can do so this Thursday from 7:00 PM directly on the official German Twitch channel of Rainbow Six Siege. In the first match, DIVIZON will face the Swiss team mYinsanity.

The Weekly Reset brings players in Destiny 2 today, on May 19, fresh weekly activities, new Nightfall Strikes, and a new Flashpoint. What else is there for the Guardians to do?
What’s coming in Destiny 2? Players are curious whether they can complete the quest “The Lie” this week – currently, a bug is hindering completion, and the current Update 2.8.1.2 also offers no fix for it.
The hardened Guardians will face several challenges in the Grandmaster difficulty of the Nightfall. Those who persevere are one step closer to the prestigious title “Conqueror”.
It seems that Season 10 has exhausted all planned roadmap contents, but why the Season of the Worthy could become really exciting at the end, read here:

These are the sources for Powerful Loot in Season 10 of Destiny 2
This is how Powerful Loot is structured in Destiny 2: Powerful Loot comes in several tiers that grant you various power boosts. Accordingly, higher tiers grant you higher power boosts.
Tier 1 (up to +3 above the current power level)
Tier 2 (up to +4 above the current power level)
Tier 3 (up to +5 above the current power level)
Top gear (+5 or more above the power level. The only gear that goes above 1000 and up to a maximum of 1010.)
For your information: Power levels obtained through the seasonal artifact are not considered when calculating the power levels of your drops. Here, the average of the gear and weapons is what matters.
