The field research in April 2020 from Pokémon GO gives you various tasks again to earn rewards. We will show you all the quests here.
What is new? For April 2020, Niantic brought another handful of new quests into the pool that you can pick up by spinning photo discs.
However, not everything is new. There are also tasks that you’ve been finding repeatedly for months.
All quests in April 2020
Where does the information come from? Shortly after the switch of the field research, trainers are compiling their findings in the “TheSilphRoad” subreddit. With this information, we create this summary.
Keep in mind that Pokémon names marked with a * can also be found in shiny form.
Reward: Encounter with a Bulbasaur*, Charmander*, or Squirtle*
As you can see, some research has now been removed that used to be a fixed part of Pokémon GO. This is mainly because you are not supposed to go outside for the game anymore. Niantic has also expanded the radius for gyms.

When do the rewards for the FIFA 20 Weekend League arrive? On which day and at what time can you get the FUT Champions Rewards in Ultimate Team? Here is all the information along with start dates and calendar in FUT Champions.
This is the Weekend League in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team: The Weekend League has been a challenging, time-limited mode in Ultimate Team for years. In FUT 20, it returns with the best rewards in the game.
To get the rewards, you must first prove yourself in the Division Rivals in FIFA 20 and then invest time and effort into the Weekend League.
The “Weekend League” competitions only take place over the weekends. It is a purely online mode where you compete against the best FUT players.
The article was updated in April 2020 with new information.

The FUT Champions Rewards in FIFA 20 arrive at this time
Day and time when the rewards arrive: You will receive your earned Weekend League rewards every Thursday. The time has been set at 10 AM since the time change. They arrive an hour after the Division Rivals rewards.

What about monthly rewards? Since FUT 19, there have been no monthly Weekend League rewards. The “red cards” are now obtained through Player Picks.
When does the Weekend League start in FUT 20? Start and Calendar
When does the first Weekend League in FIFA 20 begin? On October 4, 2019. That’s a Friday. It ends on October 7, 2019 (Monday).
These are the important times: On Fridays, it starts at 9 in the morning. It ends on Mondays at 9 in the morning.
What does the schedule / calendar for the Weekend League look like? From October 4, 2019, the Weekend League will take place every weekend without exception. The last Weekend League in FUT 20 is expected to run from August 28 to August 31, 2020 – then the next one will not start until FIFA 21.
Information on Qualification for the Weekend League
How do you qualify? Through Division Rivals in FUT 20 you need to collect 2000 FUT Champions Points. Then you will gain access to the Weekend League. When you redeem this access is up to you; you do not have to play directly on the weekend if you don’t have time.
We have summarized detailed information on Weekend League qualification here:
Currently, although FIFA 20 is still being played a lot, the release of FIFA 21 is not too far away. We will tell you what the new installment needs to do better than its predecessor.
What we already know about FIFA 21: There is currently no official information about FIFA 21. It is only certain that, as usual, the new installment will be released in autumn. However, nothing is known yet about new features.
However, FIFA players already have several wishes for the next FIFA installment. We will tell you what needs to change in FIFA 21 and what new features the fans desire.
The servers need to improve
The problem is: This FIFA year has seen so many server problems as rarely in recent FIFA installments. Often, logging in was not possible, or playing became extremely difficult due to lag. Additionally, due to server issues, the Weekend League had to be extended.
What we want: More stable servers that allow for online play without lag or login issues. The fun of playing quickly fades when you can’t make a decent pass due to constant lag or can’t find an online opponent because matchmaking unfortunately had to be disabled.
Introduction of youth leagues: Through youth leagues in career mode, young players would have the opportunity to gain match experience and improve. This would be much more realistic than before and a lot more practical for the manager’s daily routine.
Adjusting ticket prices
Hiring and firing staff like coaches and fitness trainers, who influence the players’ attributes
Better transfer behavior of the CPU: Often it is extremely difficult to sell players. The CPU clubs are simply not interested in the players on our transfer list. We want increased/realistic interest in the players we want to sell.
Online career mode: Many FIFA players know this: losing games against the computer loses its appeal over time. Especially when the computer no longer poses a challenge even on world class. Online games would be the solution. NHL and NFL games show the way, in the so-called “Connected Career” it is possible to compete against strangers or friends.
More customization: Stadium adjustments and kit design adjustments for each season
Generally more things to spend in-game money on
Sponsor work
The option to change players’ positions through training
The problem is: Although Pro Clubs, like the career mode, received extensive new features in FIFA 20. Pro Clubs supporters are still not truly satisfied. They still have some wishes that have yet to be fulfilled.
What we want:
Gameplay for CPU teammates needs to improve, the CPU often acts unpredictably and squanders chances
Better CPU teammates, who are not so sluggish to control when you decide to play them
More modes: Multiplayer training arena, social area
More information about opponents
VOLTA lacks fundamental features
The problem is: For a long time, a street mode was on the wishlist of the FIFA community and with FIFA 20, this long-awaited wish was finally fulfilled with VOLTA. However, many FIFA players have only played the new mode briefly and have never touched it again. The VOLTA mode simply lacks the fundamental features that regular soccer in FIFA has long offered.
For FIFA 21, EA needs to come up with something for VOLTA and add functions.
What we want:
A Pro Clubs mode for VOLTA, to be able to form your own club with friends
Co-op seasons for VOLTA
Online games against friends, so you can finally compete against buddies not just on the couch
Ultimate Team – The management cards need to be improved
The problem is: Distributing player contracts and fitness cards in your own team is super tedious. However, the system hasn’t changed for years.
What we want:
A better fitness concept: Why can’t the 100 fitness points of a player be fully utilized? It would be great to only need to use a fitness card again when the card reaches a fitness value of 0. Currently, a fitness card is urgently needed after 3 or 4 games at the latest.
Team player contracts: Like with team fitness cards, it would be practical to be able to equip the entire squad with contracts at once. Currently, you have to select each player individually to fill contracts.
However, we suspect that the cards will not disappear anytime soon. Because for EA, they are good filler material for packs.
Ultimate Team – We need filters for special cards
The problem is: For example, if you want to buy the second Inform card from Mbappe in FUT 20, it is not that easy. Because even if you have the necessary coins and are willing to spend them, finding the card on the transfer market is often a big problem.
Because there are no filters. You can only search for special cards. And since Kylian Mbappe has a whopping 8 special cards in FUT, the search can be quite exhausting.
Finding the right card is not that easy
What we want: Simple filters to search for specific special cards like Shapeshifters, Team of the Week, FUT Birthday or TOTY. Moreover, a filter that allows you to exclude certain categories would be nice. For example, if you are looking for a French goalkeeper, it would be great to be able to exclude Ligue 1 from the search.
By the way, we also had a few wishes for the FIFA Santa:
Once again, April 1st has made its mark on the gaming world. Some pranks have truly succeeded. Here we present a few that you shouldn’t miss.
April 1st has always been known as a day of jokes and pranks. Developers like to use this day to lead their players by the nose or throw in a few quirky updates. The following online games have certainly made the most of the opportunity.
Overwatch wide-eyed
This is what happened in Overwatch: The hero shooter Overwatch is known for its comic-like design. But on April 1st, the developers tweaked the graphics – specifically: the eyes of pretty much everything and everyone.
And suddenly all heroes in Overwatch had googly eyes – which looked pretty ridiculous, but also fantastic. Because when even Hanzo’s ultimate flies at you with huge eyes – you can see how successful the new graphics update is. Or can you?
This is what happened in Call of Duty: “Nice to play a round of Shipment 24/7″, maybe some CoD player thought. After all, it’s one of the most popular modes in the game, and it was announced in the currently selected playlist: “Total Shipment. Come on in. But just so you know: penalties apply for quitting.”
What was going on in Guild Wars 2? Basically, everything as usual. Except for the huge… cats? That’s right! Because in Guild Wars 2, players found a letter from the “King of all Cats” (contents: Meow meow meow, meow meow… and so on), which came with a few potions.
These spawned some small kittens around you. And a few absolutely gigantic creatures in the Guild Wars 2 world.

The game also delivered some completely serious patch notes. These included, for example, that newly spawned bosses would now get name additions like “the Second” or “Jr.”, and certain NPCs would now complain to you that you never call or come by. Sounds like a sensible update!
PUBG – Fantasy Royale
This is what happened in PUBG: Unicorns usually fit better in the Fortnite world than in PUBG, but on April 1st, PUBG probably thought: A little fantasy never hurts.
However, “Fantasy” was taken literally, which is why typical fantasy classes like Barbarians and Wizards as well as Unicorn Motorcycles wandered around the newly named “Dragon’s Isle”. At least in the special mode “Fantasy Royale”.
There was also a pretty ridiculous trailer:

This is what happened in Star Citizen: The Earth is flat? Not really – but almost every planet in Star Citizen will be now. At least, if you believe the developers. Because of a phenomenon called “The Flattening”, everything will be flat starting from the next update. And there are also scientific explanations.
According to the developers, players shouldn’t worry about gameplay. Sure, one could fall off the edge of a planet now, but that’s just more realistic.
The atmosphere of the planets will, logically, be maintained by magical domes. And while they are sure that gravity is fundamentally a lie of old secret societies, games need physics. Therefore, the “gravity” within the magical domes will feel “normal”, according to the developers.
By the way, the entire lore of the game will be thrown out the window. This makes the realistic survival aspect of the game feel a little more real!
War Thunder takes off
This is what is happening in War Thunder: Normally, War Thunder players roll through the desert with tanks and engage in exciting battles! But on April 1st, everything changed in War Thunder! Players now floated through space with spaceships and engaged in thrilling battles.
War Thunder was promptly transformed into “Space Thunder”. And you can see what it looks like here:

This is what is happening in Pokémon GO: The developers of Pokémon GO are not on a prank this time, but they did not want to let April 1st pass by unnoticed. In keeping with the theme of the day, funny and disguise Pokémon like Flunschlik, Mogelbaum, Tarnpignon, or Ditto are around for a week.
Prank Pokémon in Pokémon GO
In the new event there are also a few new shinies – so the event is definitely worth it for the players.

In League of Legends there is a kind of religious war about which key to assign the skill “Flash”. In this discussion, the star player Faker has now spoken out, as for him, there is only one correct answer.
What is this discussion about? In LoL, there are two so-called summoner spells that have a strong effect but also a long cooldown. Therefore, it is important to time their use correctly. Each skill is assigned to the “F” key and one to the “D” key.
But where the skill Flash belongs, a teleport that is almost always taken, is a hotly debated topic.
What does Faker say? The Korean Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok is one of the most famous LoL players in the world and is one of those who assign Flash to the “F” key.
In Korea, the majority of professionals use this setting. 78% of players from the LCK, the highest Korean league, have assigned the key accordingly (via Reddit).
In a livestream, Faker made it clear on March 31 what he thinks about the distribution of skills. He said, according to a translation:
Don’t argue about whether Flash belongs on [the key] D or F. Everyone has their own preferences.
Just because mint chocolate is disgusting, you can’t blame the people who like the taste. Some people just like tasteless food.
https://streamable.com/dc1ld
An excerpt from Faker’s livestream
It was also not the first time he expressed himself this way. In recent years, there have been funny responses from the professional player regarding this matter of faith.
Who is Faker? Faker is a professional LoL player who was born in 1996 in South Korea. He has played with the same team since 2013 and made a big name for himself in the first season.
He competed for the team of SK Telecom 1 and achieved 3rd place with his teammates, even placing ahead of the first team from their own camp, SK Telecom 1 (only 5th-8th place).
What else did Faker say? In April 2019, Faker also explained in a livestream what he really thinks about players who assign Flash to the “D” key:
Why do many silver players have Flash on the “D” key? If you have Flash on “D”, then you’re silver. You can’t assign Flash to “D”.
This saying was even picked up by the famous American player Doublelift during the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational. At that time, the pro confessed in a joint interview with Faker that he uses a different key assignment:
I’m ashamed, I am silver.
By the way, Doublelift is not alone in this. In the American LCS, 65% of players assign Flash to the “D” key (via Reddit).

How is the season going for the two players? The year 2020 could not be more different for Faker and Doublelift:
For Faker and his team, much changed in 2020. Two strong teammates and the coach left T1. Nevertheless, the team managed to achieve 2nd place in the LCK during the Spring Split.
The sandbox game MisBits has been playable on Steam for several weeks now. The developers have decided to make the title free-to-play. On April 4th, MisBits will be Free-to-Play. We will show you what it’s all about.
What is MisBits? MisBits is a kind of game collection or sandbox game. You control heads that can take on special toys to progress through the various levels.
In MisBits, you can do pretty much anything you want. There are several game modes available for you.
The modes in MisBits: The standard modes include a (team) deathmatch and Kick Brawl. Deathmatch is a classic game mode where you hit each other with crazy weapons like cucumbers and the player with the most points wins. Kick Brawl is a somewhat modified version of Rocket League.
For a more freeform play experience, there is the Playhouse. It’s a huge playroom where various mini-games with leaderboards await. Compete here with friends or other players to measure up and reach the top spot.
If that doesn’t appeal to you, there is the Arcade, where you can find games created by players and developers. Here you can find puzzles, races, platformers, and more – everything anyone has ever thought of.
A new update also introduced the Toy Box. This allows you to build your own worlds, levels, and modes almost like in Minecraft’s creative mode – however you like. A bit more insight into the game is provided by the video from our colleagues at GameStar:

When and where can I play it?MisBits was released on Steam on March 5th and will be free to play starting Saturday, April 4th. However, you can already play it now if you want.
Currently, MisBits is only available for PC. Versions for PS4 and Xbox One are in the works, but the developers are currently focused on the PC version.
Bonuses for buyers: If you purchase MisBits before April 4th, you will receive a Buddy Pass, allowing you to invite a friend to play before it becomes free-to-play. Additionally, there are some bonuses worth about $30:
Exclusive head: Diablo
Limited head: Shadow
Limited skin: Tiki
In-game currency worth $15
We have already played MisBits and believe: If more of you play it, it will be a real hit. Especially right now, as many people are stuck in their homes and going outside less often, new games and free-to-play games are a great way to pass the time.

Activision, the publisher of Call of Duty: Warzone, has openly spoken out against cheaters in a post. It was also explained what measures they are taking and that many cheaters have already been banned.
What is the problem? Call of Duty: Warzone is a competitive game and only works when all players have the same chances. However, it is currently struggling with some cheaters who use a “God Mode” that makes players invincible.
Therefore, Activision has spoken in a post that since the release of the game on March 10, more than 50,000 cheaters have been permanently banned.
However, they are still working on finding the bad apples and removing them. A reporting system directly in the game is also intended to help with this.
The latest statement from the developers gives players hope that such a system will be implemented quickly. There could also be interface adjustments to allow reporting directly.
But the entire process surrounding the bans is also interesting.
Measures Taken Against Cheaters
How do bans work? Activision uses a variety of measures to take cheaters out of circulation:
The security teams monitor the game and the data 24/7 to quickly detect violations.
Various hacks and cheats are monitored, including aimbots, wallhacks, and many more.
The system is being improved so that cheaters can be reported more easily in the future.
All in-game reports are to be analyzed and filtered immediately. After that, a ban should be put in place as soon as possible if it is justified.
What penalties are there for violations? The penalties vary based on the rule violation. However, a zero-tolerance policy is to apply for hackers. Accordingly, players can expect a permanent ban here.
In Europe, many countries have implemented curfews due to the novel coronavirus. However, this does not stop trainers from indulging in their hobby and hunting Pokémon in Pokémon GO. Now, two more cases have emerged where the police had to intervene.
This is the situation: In many countries in Europe, curfews are currently in effect. In many places, residents are only allowed to leave their homes to attend to the most essential needs: People may buy groceries, go to work, and little more. This is intended to limit the spread of the virus SARS-CoV-2.
The police are trying to enforce these curfews in many countries through increased controls to contain the pandemic.
Catching Pokémon is not an essential reason for travel
This is the case from England: In southern England, police caught a trainer in his car at the Stevenage Leisure Park, a recreational center that is closed due to the virus.
The driver stated that he was in the area because he was playing Pokémon GO. However, that did not convince them.
The officers explained to him that Pokémon GO is not an essential travel reason under the new rules and sent him home.

This is the case from Spain: In Madrid, a 77-year-old retiree was caught outside on the streets of Madrid playing Pokémon GO despite strict curfews.
The police in Madrid tweeted after the incident that “hunting dinosaurs or other magical creatures” is prohibited.
People should not look for excuses during the curfews and stay at home.
The dinosaur reference might have been in the tweet because a week prior, someone was stopped in another part of Spain while wearing a T-Rex costume in the street. Some suspect that the costume may have been intended as a kind of protective suit.
Even then, the police showed humor: While it is allowed to walk pets, a Tyrannosaurus Rex does not fall under this exception rule.

There was a case from Italy that we have already reported on. A 31-year-old man was caught hunting Pokémon on the street. When the police stopped him and asked why he was outside, he simply said, “I have to catch the Pokémon.” This man also received a ticket.
Keep in mind that there is currently a risk of contracting the coronavirus. The Federal Centre for Health Education recommends staying at home as much as possible, maintaining distance from others, and avoiding gatherings. Niantic has implemented several measures so that you can play Pokémon GO from home .

In Destiny 2, you can choose between Hunter, Titan, or Warlock and a total of 9 subclasses. We want to know in our survey which focus is the absolute favorite of MeinMMO readers?
But we want to dig a little deeper and want to know from you which of the 9 subclasses you prefer to play in Destiny 2. It doesn’t matter whether you prefer to expend yourself in PvE or whether you are a die-hard PvP player.
If you are new to Destiny 2 and don’t know which class suits you best, check out our tips here:
Before we get to the voting, we will briefly introduce all subclasses and present the power fantasies behind them. Actually, each of the three focuses would have 3 specializations. Please note that we do not consider these separately, but restrict ourselves to the focuses themselves.
These are the Hunter subclasses:
Gunslinger – This focus reminds of a lone cowboy who doesn’t talk much but draws quickly and never misses his target. You can either silence everything with your Golden Gun or have the last word with your burning throwing knives.
Arcstrider – The arguably most agile of all subclasses in the game easily dodges enemy hits or parries enemy attacks. You dance out your enemies acrobatically and strike with lightning speed.
Nighthawk – These hunters are real outlaws and are always superior to their enemies thanks to their traps and confusion techniques. No other class plays as sneakily and uses the darkness for more sinister attacks.
Gunslinger, Arcstrider, and Nighthawk
These are the Titan subclasses:
Sunbreaker – These titans just want to see the world burn. Your powerful hammers leave nothing but rubble, ashes, and scorched earth. Fire consumes your enemies and strengthens your allies.
Striker – As a Striker, you feel most at home in the midst of the enemy horde and cause chaos. These titans are always charged and can be stopped by nothing and no one.
Sentinel – Not everyone can be as strong as titans, which is why Sentinels protect the whole team with their impenetrable shields. But they can also skillfully use them as a weapon, making even Captain America envious.
Striker, Sentinel, and Hammer of Sol
These are the Warlock subclasses:
Dawnblade – Who needs guns when you have burning swords and wings? The Dawnblade can fly over the battlefield and rain fire or alternatively heal the entire team and enhance them through fire magic.
Stormcaller – These warlocks control electricity and summon a thunderstorm at the push of a button. They can only laugh at the puny lightning fingers of the evil emperor and have perfected the “Kamehameha” from Dragonball.
Voidwalker – With the help of darkness, Voidwalkers break reality and blow everything up with their Nova Bomb. Alternatively, they become the bomb themselves and heal through the devastation caused.
Voidwalker, Dawnblade, and Stormcaller
Survey: Which focus is your favorite 2020 in Destiny 2?
This is how the voting works: Now it’s your turn. Choose your absolute favorite from the 9 subclasses. You have only one vote available in the survey, so choose wisely.
Have fun and thank you for participating!
Which subclass did you choose? Let us know in the comments why this one focus is your favorite. You can also tell us which of the total 27 specializations is the best for you.
In FIFA 20, the TOTW Moments 3 is now known. Find out here which players are part of the new Team of the Week Moments.
What are TOTW Moments? Due to the current situation, football has to pause, making it difficult for EA Sports to assemble the Team of the Week. Therefore, there is a replacement: the Team of the Week Moments.
This appears weekly at the same time and brings new Inform cards into the game. The selection of the TOTW Moments is based on older FUT parts’ TOTWs that were released around the same time.
The best cards in TOTW Moments 3: This week, there are a total of 7 players in TOTW Moments 3 with a strong overall rating of 87. They are: Partey, Robertson, Zapata, Ndidi, Milinkovic-Savic, Marquinhos, and Iago Aspas. There is no higher rating in TOTW Moments 3.
These Bundesliga players are included: From the Bundesliga, this time Hübner (82), Schwolow (84), and Poulsen (84) are included.
Bronze or Silver Moments cards can be found in the corresponding Bronze and Silver packs.
On the Transfer Market: If you don’t want to rely on your pack luck, you can also buy the Inform cards on the Transfer Market. But don’t buy immediately on the first day, wait a bit, because often the prices of many cards decrease significantly over time.
Currently, FUT Birthday is also running, do you already have a card in your team?
The Elder Scrolls Online is available for free on Steam, PC, PS4 and Xbox One starting April 1st. No joke! This is the perfect time to get to know one of the best MMORPGs of recent years. Our author Jürgen explains why this is such a great opportunity right now.
In the video from the colleagues at GameStar, you can see how ESO has evolved into a strong MMORPG over the years. It provides a good overview of the content, which should help you decide whether the download is worth it.
No April Fool’s – Play ESO for free for 2 weeks
How can I play ESO for free? ESO will be available for free on all supported platforms, namely PC, Mac, Steam, PS4, and Xbox One, starting April 1, 2020, at 4:00 PM CEST. Normally, you would have to purchase the game to access the base game. However, during the offer period, you can download and play the game at no cost.
How long is ESO free? Unfortunately, the free fun has to end at some point, but you can explore Tamriel to your heart’s content until April 13, 2020.
Attention! Unfortunately, the free version on Steam is only available until April 6, 2020.
Soon you can play ESO for free with your friends.
What is included in the free playtime? If you use the free version, unfortunately you will not get access to all previously released content, such as Elsweyr or Summerset.

The perfect time for ESO
Why should you play ESO? I, Jürgen, have often noted that ESO is a special MMORPG that stands out in several ways from the competition. Particularly in one area, the Elder Scrolls MMO is something special: You don’t have the typical item spirals found in many MMORPGs. Instead, progress is horizontal.
Since you can visit any area and play with any player at any time regardless of level, faction, and race, even if you are a total newbie and your buddy is a veteran with many levels. Therefore, ESO plays more like Skyrim than World of Warcraft.
In the upcoming Greymoor addon, you’ll be heading to cold Skyrim. So you’ll encounter many familiar places and creatures.
Additionally, ESO also offers the unique Elder Scrolls flair. As seen in games like Skyrim, ESO fully draws from the extensive lore of the Elder Scrolls series. There are hundreds of books filled with background information in the game, and hundreds of NPCs narrate what is currently happening in Tamriel, all fully voiced. And you can also play ESO wonderfully without other players. Therefore, it is also ranked number 1 among the top 5 MMORPGs that can be played well solo.
So, those who appreciate story and atmosphere in MMORPGs will surely have a lot of fun with ESO.
That’s why it’s particularly cool that ESO is free now: The free ESO in April comes perfectly. Because of the ongoing Corona pandemic, many players are stuck at home and most activities are canceled. A complex and entertaining MMORPG like ESO is just right to kill time.
ESO is still my favorite MMO, especially with the upcoming updates.
And if you are still the only player in the house, you can also quickly complete a quest in ESO without having to first grind for the latest items for the high-end content.
This is also why I – in addition to my new passion for Doom on Stadia – remain loyal to ESO and regularly roam around Tamriel. Just give it a try, it doesn’t cost anything!
The Twitch streamer Summit1g has talked a bit more about Valorant . He revealed that the game is missing a feature that will surely annoy many players, but pleases him.
This is the feature: Summit1g revealed in a tweet that the new Riot shooter Valorant will not offer aim assist for controllers. Anyone wishing to play with a controller will have to do so against players with mouse and keyboard and without assistance.
Don’t gotta worry about mkb vs controller on Valorant. No aim assist means they don’t show up to the party. ;]
What is aim assist? Aim assist helps players aim better with the stick of a controller. For example, it slows down movement speed when the crosshairs are on an opponent or slightly pulls towards their body.
Summit1g is happy about the lack of aim assist – shroud jumps in
What does Summit1g say? The Twitch streamer seems to feel a certain degree of schadenfreude in his tweet, as he is not a big fan of aim assist. He has made that quite clear before. Aim assist drove him crazy in Halo Reach.
This is what shroud says about it: The “human aimbot” shroud also responds in a Twitter response. He says that if really skilled controller players put in some effort and train, they could also excel with mouse and keyboard.
shroud believes that good controller players can also rock with mouse and keyboard.
Not much is known about the new Riot shooter yet, and the information is currently still technically under an embargo. However, more and more people are reporting about experiences with Valorant, praising it as a “total hit”.
On the weekend of March 27, Riot held a digital demo event for the press and influencers for the new shooter Valorant. MeinMMO was invited and participated, so we will soon provide you with deeper insights, new information, and first impressions of Valorant.

The Elder Scrolls Online is a successful MMORPG. However, our author Jürgen Horn is especially encouraged to play by his pet. That’s why the cat is to blame for the poor man not playing other online role-playing games anymore.
What’s the deal with Jürgen and cats? I, Jürgen, have always had cats around me throughout my life. First, there were the semi-wild barn cats from my grandparents’ nearby farm, and later various generations of house cats.
Thus, I have a genuine fondness for the purring furballs and eagerly consume everything related to these little furry noses. I constantly post pictures of my current two cats on Instagram and even once supported a crowdfunding campaign for a cat version of the Pen & Paper role-playing game DSA with a bunch of money!
An older picture of me and my cat Cleo.
3 reasons why the cat always gets me to play ESO
However, every time I look at one of my cats, the thought of a very special MMORPG comes to mind: The Elder Scrolls Online. The game is firmly associated with the term “cat” for me. There are several reasons for that:
I am a cat in ESO myself: The most obvious reason for my association of ESO with the cat is quite simple: I am a cat in the game! Since the beta of ESO, I have been playing a cunning Khajiit nightblade with black fur.
Later, two more Khajiit were added as twinks that I named after my two current cats Cleo and Lizzy and hence are called “C’Leo the Swift” and “L’Izzy the Silken.
I enjoy hunting dragons in Elsweyr with my Khajiit nightblade.
Additionally, I can ride large cats in ESO and have small cats as pets. I can even build a house, fill it with cushions, and then place more cat pets and mounts all around! This way, maybe someday I will have the cat house I’ve always wanted in real life. I just need to craft enough cushions and collect more cat pets.
I still can’t get enough of Elsweyr: Anyone who has followed my reporting and my streams in 2019 about Elsweyr knows that I am a huge fan of this expansion for ESO. For a long time, I predicted an Elsweyr expansion, and finally, it arrived. However, shortly after, my son was born, and since I play ESO quite leisurely, I have not been able to explore Elsweyr as much as I would have liked.
Therefore, the sight of my cats always lures me into Tamriel during my limited free time, to complete a quest here, to save some cats from a dragon, or just to stroll through the marketplace of Krempen and listen to the NPCs.
ESO simply has such wonderfully cool cat content: Lastly, my cats always remind me of the wonderfully quirky cat content from ESO. Elsweyr has also significantly added to this and often made me laugh:
For the first time, the Alfiq Khajiit can be seen in Elsweyr. They look like house cats, wear clothes, speak in delightfully squeaky voices, and are actually powerful mages. Nonetheless, they suffer a bit from inferiority complexes.
There’s an extremely cool scene in the Elsweyr trailer where the story protagonist Khamira is roared at by a dragon and defiantly hisses back in true cat fashion. That’s exactly what a real cat would do if it found itself in a difficult situation.
There’s a slew of light-hearted quests that fully target cat content. First and foremost, a mission where you carry out a sort of heist. For that, you first have to assemble a quirky expert team in true heist movie style. Among them is a constantly drunk Alfiq cat who in the most inconvenient case throws up a hairball.
Also unforgettable: The quest in which the notorious chaos god and crowd favorite Sheogorath appears as a nasty cat and terrorizes a monastery with his cruel jokes. I don’t want to spoil the ending here, but it is very “cat-like”.
An Alfiq Khajiit banker. Is she going to throw the coins off the table right away?
However, even if you’re not as fond of cats as I am, ESO offers plenty of motivation to play. My colleague Larissa Then doesn’t play a Khajiit but has discovered her passion for role-playing in ESO for the first time.

Hardly anyone believed it would happen, but it has. A massive ban wave including rollbacks hit a lot of players of The Division 2 and the reactions are intense. Check here to see how the community reacted.
What’s going on? The Division 2 saw a great influx with the big expansion “Warlords of New York” and many players returned to Ubisoft’s loot shooter. However, several agents were frustrated due to many small and big bugs and used DPS glitches or the zombie boss glitch to gain an advantage.
This, in turn, frustrated the honest players who demanded in the last difficult weeks full of maintenance and patches that the developers should act against cheaters.
Additionally, the accounts of the respective players are “flagged”, meaning marked. If there are further violations, there is a possibility that these accounts could even be permanently banned.
Massive punished the bad glitchers hard.
Massive takes a hard stance and receives a lot of support – and criticism
How are the agents reacting? The harsh crackdown is dividing the community. While the comments here on MeinMMO are mostly positive about the consequences for the cheaters, many of the banned players on Reddit and Twitter are up in arms. There has never been such an intense discussion in Division 2 before.
What do the supporters say? Most agents who support the bans and rollbacks thank Massive and are very pleased with the consequences for the cheaters.
One of our most diligent commentators here at Division 2, “BavEagle”, states: “Wow, thanks @Massive. I honestly didn’t expect such an action and it should be a model for all other games.” He then adds that the bans could have been a bit longer. Some even demand permanent account bans or at least a month-long suspension.
The rollback, meaning the reset of the accounts to March 17th, is received better. Even “Cukky” states under our article: “I think one week is not enough. But I somehow celebrate the rollback to March 17th.” He represents the opinion of most supporters, who would have liked a longer penalty, but particularly consider the two-week rollback as a right measure.
However, many players are resisting and claim they were banned, although they were just “bystanders”.
What about the opponents? This camp is divided into three groups, with most being quite upset about the measures:
Glitchers who were banned
Agents who played with glitchers
Glitchers who were not banned
While there are also a few insightful agents who accept their penalties with composure and even show a bit of remorse, the majority of players who were affected are up in arms, and all channels are filled with extensive tirades about the incompetence of the developers:
As the user @Baumgardner44 on Twitter states: “Uninstalling… I will never play a Massive or Ubisoft game again. The fault lies with you and only you, Massive. I hope other people never play your games again either.”.
The four largest threads on Reddit have already gathered almost 4,500 mostly very agitated comments. If you want to check out the threads in peace, you’ll find them below in the sources.
Apparently, the bans also hit many players who unknowingly played with cheaters. This has led to the most frustration, as these agents now feel unjustly punished:
I tried to log in this morning, and my account was banned, even though I thought I had never used the DPS glitch. However, I was matched a few times while grinding in the “Air & Space” museum with groups of players who consistently dealt 1.800 million something damage, while everyone else was around 300 million something. At that time, I couldn’t figure out how someone could deal so much damage with a pistol and a shield.
Now I know that was probably the DPS glitch. Now I got banned because I was matched with a group that exploited the bug? Banned for something I had no control over? Yeah, I’m done with Massive games for good. I’ve requested a full refund for the game.
Especially frustrating for these agents are the comments from cheaters who apparently have not been banned.
Update April 2nd, 9:00 AM: In the SotG stream on April 1st, the developers stated that the bans and rollbacks were looked into on the individual accounts. According to Massive, only players who actually exploited the glitch were banned.
What can I do if I was banned unjustly? On the Ubisoft support website, you can open a ticket and contact support. It’s best to try it with a live chat. However, the support also emphasizes that they have no means to lift the temporary bans. So be prepared for a longer back and forth.
Was that the right move by Massive? The developers announced the measures a few weeks ago:

The glitchers were warned. For many readers on MeinMMO, these were exactly the right steps, and they see the harsh penalties as justified. However, if it turns out in the coming days that many players were unfairly banned, Massive may still face problems.
The topic remains exciting for now, as does the further development of Division 2. Two major updates are coming in April, with which Massive continues to tweak the loot shooter and hopefully the DPS glitches will soon be a thing of the past.

The Update 12.30 was implemented on March 31 in Fortnite. The biggest changes in the patch were quickly discovered by players. However, there are 2 secret changes that could impact your aim, the way you aim and hit in Fortnite.
What did Update 12.30 bring? The fresh Update 12.30 brought a new umbrella weapon and a bounce pad that prevents fall damage on Tuesday.
These innovations were quickly discovered and eagerly tested by players. However, there are 2 changes that may not have been noticed by everyone.
Did Epic change the aim mechanics?
The player bhronosFN discovered 2 significant changes to the aim mechanics for “Mouse and Keyboard” players.
1. Recoil and Bloom have likely been adjusted
What’s different now? According to the player who found this change, the recoil and bloom on PC are now similar to those of controller players.
In a clip on Twitter, bhronosFN shows how he has much less or almost no recoil when shooting. This means he can fire his entire magazine without many shots going “off-target”:

Moreover, he feels that the “bloom” is no longer supposed to be so random. This means that the crosshair does not spread out as much during firing. Due to the bloom, shots often missed because the target was not properly aimed at.
2. Players no longer flinch
What’s different now? Another change he discovered is that players no longer flinch when they are hit. Previously, a player’s upper body would always shift to the side in such situations.
Now this does not happen anymore, providing advantages. If the player does not flinch, their aim is not disturbed and they can continue to aim at the opponent.

Many believe that aim assist on controllers is too strong and controller players have an advantage because of it. This was evident when the first player won a tournament with a controller.
In Borderlands 3 there is also a lot of new loot with the new DLC. We present to you 6 weapons that are worth searching for.
These weapons are worth it: In the new DLC, there are many new weapons. Thanks to high drop rates, they can be found quickly – but be careful not to discard any good ones!
Here you can find 6 legendary weapons from the new DLC that you should take a closer look at.
Insider
This is the Insider: The Insider is a Maliwan shotgun. This means it shoots lasers instead of bullets. The special thing about this gun is that it avoids the main weakness of other Maliwan weapons: It has no reload time before firing a shot.
Additionally, it deals decent damage and comes in all available elements. It even has splash damage and compensates for inaccurate aiming – however, be careful not to blow yourself up at close range with the Insider.

Where do I find the Insider? For the Insider, you need a bit of patience, as there is currently no clear farming spot for the shotgun. However, it appears often as a world drop in the DLC – especially when you play at a high Mayhem level.
Cocky Bastard & Skullmasher
This is Cocky Bastard and Skullmasher: Both weapons are fairly strong sniper rifles. The Cocky Bastard is especially suited for players who are interested in shock damage against shields: The rifle deals 100% additional shock damage on critical hits. The damage is quite high – the weapon resembles the powerful Wedding Invitation, which mainly deals fire damage.
The Skullmasher is a returner from previous Borderlands games. It fires 5 projectiles at once with a relatively high fire rate. It is very useful at medium ranges, as the additional projectiles provide a certain spread.

Where do I find the two snipers? The two sniper rifles are unfortunately quite rare and difficult to find. They primarily come from the new portal chests in the DLC. So try to open as many of these chests as possible.
Oldridian
This is the Oldridian: The Oldridian is an SMG from Hyperion, meaning it comes with a built-in shield. However, the special thing about this weapon is its versatility: The Oldridian randomly changes element when you reload.
This makes it a real mixed bag, usable against almost anything – as the base damage of the weapon is already quite effective. If you then hit the right element, you will really hurt your enemies. And if not – just keep shooting until the right element comes.
Where do I find the Oldridian? The Oldridian is also a world drop that occurs relatively frequently when you play at a high level. The chances are good that you will come across it while playing through the DLC – give it a try when you find it!
Anarchy
This is the Anarchy: The Anarchy is a shotgun that Gaige players might recognize from Borderlands 2. The huntress had the “Anarchy skill”, which exchanged accuracy for extra damage with kills and when reloading empty magazines, stacking more damage the more you had.
That’s exactly what the new shotgun does – and it adds up to ten times 30% extra damage per stack. So the gun can deal immense damage – but aiming becomes difficult. How strong this new fan favorite is, you can see for example here:

Where do I find the Anarchy? Unfortunately, the Anarchy cannot be farmed directly, as it appears as a world drop. So try to pick it up while exploring the ice planet Xylourgos.
Clairvoyance
This is the Clairvoyance: The Clairvoyance is a Jakobs AR that deals a lot of cryo damage. When you land critical hits with it, additional bombs stick to your enemies and explode shortly after.
If you manage to do this with multiple hits in a row, all will explode simultaneously – causing a lot of damage at once.

Where do I find the Clairvoyance? The weapon is also available as a world drop, but can also be farmed. You have a higher chance of acquiring the weapon at Hammerlock’s Crew Challenge target Kritchy. You can find him in Cursehaven – this is where you can specifically try to get the Clairvoyance.
Nearly 11 years after the original, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered has been released. We take a look at the classic and tell you who should buy the re-release of CoD: MW 2.
What is the deal with CoD Modern Warfare 2 Remastered? For over a year, there have been rumors about a remake of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Some might wonder whether buying the classic is worth it today. After all, many players are likely already familiar with the second part of the Modern Warfare series.
However, some have never played CoD MW 2 or want to experience the story of Task Force 141 in a new light. Therefore, we summarize what you should know about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered before making your purchase decision.
CoD: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered – Release, Price, Content
When exactly is CoD MW 2 Remastered coming out? The remake has been available for purchase in the PS Store since 6:00 PM on March 31. However, Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is currently only playable on PS4.
What about Xbox One and PC? On these platforms, CoD MW 2 Remastered can already be pre-ordered, but it can be played on PC and Xbox One starting at 6:00 PM on April 30. Until then, the remaster can only be enjoyed on PS4.
How much does Modern Warfare 2 Remastered cost? The remastered version costs €24.99 in the respective platform stores. The price is the same on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
What content does Modern Warfare 2 Remastered offer? The remastered version is officially called “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered”. And here’s what it includes:
Modern Warfare Remastered is not a complete remake of the game, but only brings back the single-player campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in a technically enhanced state.
You can now experience the campaign in full HD with improved textures, sound, animations, physical rendering, HDR lighting, and some additional effects.
There is no multiplayer in CoD MW 2 Remastered, at least not its own. The SpecOps mode (co-op) is also not included.
Additionally, all buyers of the remaster receive the classic Ghost bundle “Underwater Demolition Team” for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019. You can then use the contents in traditional multiplayer or in the Battle Royale mode Warzone.
This bundle includes the UDT Ghost skin, 2 weapon blueprints, a weapon talisman, a finisher, a calling card, an emblem, and 2 battle pass tier skips.
Is the German version censored? Yes, the campaign in the German version is censored. The controversial mission “No Russian” does not allow you to shoot civilians. However, this is the only cut.
Who will benefit from the Remastered version of CoD Modern Warfare 2?
CoD Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is worth it for you if you haven’t played the original from 2009.
Generally, the campaigns of the original Modern Warfare trilogy are considered by many fans and critics to be among the best in the entire CoD series, alongside the one from Black Ops 1.
And the story of Modern Warfare 2 is regarded by some as the best of the MW trilogy. It offers a captivating, adrenaline-pumping narrative and plays out like an interactive action movie. And despite linear levels or scripted scenes, the campaign of Modern Warfare 2 manages to entertain and contains numerous memorable moments that many still remember more than 11 years later.
In short: If you have even the slightest interest in shooters, enjoy well-staged military scenarios, and have not played the campaign of Modern Warfare 2 yet, this remaster is hard to go wrong with.
If you are a veteran wanting to experience it all again in slightly enhanced graphics, full HD, and new effects on the current console generation or PC, you should also find joy, as long as you don’t have overly high expectations for the graphics. But more on that later.

The remastered version is not worth it for you if high-end graphics are your top priority. Yes, the graphics now offer full HD, better textures, and some contemporary effects. However, many character models and animations still originate from the original from 2009.
If you expect to experience the campaign of MW2 with the graphics and quality of Modern Warfare 2019, you will probably be disappointed. The game looks significantly better than it did in 2009, but especially in direct comparison to the reboot of Modern Warfare, MW 2 Remastered still shows its age in some aspects.
If you specifically yearn for the critically acclaimed and revolutionary multiplayer experience of the original Modern Warfare 2 – it is not included in this remaster.
Although the original MP of CoD MW 2 is still considered by many to be the best multiplayer experience of the entire Call of Duty franchise, only popular maps from Modern Warfare 2 are being introduced into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019. An official remake of the multiplayer is also not planned for the future – even if a leak now claims otherwise.
If you have already played the original campaign and don’t necessarily need to experience it again, you can skip the remaster – unless you really want the accompanying bundle for Modern Warfare 2019 and want it for €25.
Buy Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is only available in digital form through the respective platform stores.
Pre-order CoD MW 2 Remastered on Xbox One and PC: Currently, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered cannot yet be purchased on these platforms, only pre-ordered.
In the MMORPG Tibia, many hundreds of players mourned together at the end of March. Their thoughts were with the player Karol, who had passed away in March. The action even united rival guilds and set a record on the server.
Who was Karol? Karol, known to some mainly by the in-game name Tioril, was an avid player of Tibia. On the European server “Estela,” he reached level 285 with his character. This is a very high level for this server, even though on others level 1,500 has already been reached.
To pay their respects, many hundreds of players gathered, including not only friends but also members of a rival guild. The YouTuber Tumas Tibia even created a short tribute video. In the description, he writes about Karol:
He was “Pain in the Ass,” just as a good opponent should be. I have a lot of respect for him. My condolences to his family and friends.
The images from the video are very moving. The inscription “Karol” was made from roses and the players all wore the same outfit.
This is how players in Tibia mourned for Karol.
A touching action: The gathering of players shows that behind the computer games, there are indeed people who care about the fate of individuals.
A tribute video for the late Karol by YouTuber Tumas Tibia.
What is Tibia actually? Tibia is a 2D MMORPG from Germany and is one of the oldest titles on the market. It was released in January 1997 and still enjoys great popularity today. There are separate PvE and PvP servers.
Tibia still receives updates today and is particularly worthwhile if you want endless progression. Levels and skills have no limits in the game.
Nearly 600 people online simultaneously
How many players gathered? It is hard to say how many users were actually online to bid farewell to their fellow player.
What is certain, however, is that on March 27, a record of 594 players active at the same time was set for the server Estela. According to the website Guildstats, there are about 4,458 players in guilds. However, we do not know exactly how many players are currently on the server.
However, Tibia as a whole currently has significantly rising player numbers. According to Reddit, at least at the time of the screenshot, over 27,000 players were online simultaneously.
Professional player and Twitch streamer Jake “Poach” Brumleve (21) has announced his retirement from Fortnite: Battle Royale. He is focusing on the new shooter from Riot, Valorant. In his departure, Poach criticizes the developer Epic Games for what they have done to Fortnite. He has not enjoyed the game for a long time.
Who is Poach? The now 21-year-old Jake “Poach” Brumleve was among the young US professionals in 2018 who made a name for themselves with their e-sports skills in Fortnite. That was before Epic loosened the age restrictions: since then, even younger players have dominated the scene. At the Fortnite World Cup, a 13-year-old became a star.
As a member of “Team Liquid”, Poach was involved in the e-sports scene of Fortnite early on and managed to shine in some tournaments during the early days: He secured quite a bit of prize money from the first major tournament series. He is now a veteran.
He celebrated his greatest success in September 2018, when he won $135,000 by taking 3rd place in the Summer Skirmish at Pax West. Overall, he has earned $323,900 with Fortnite (via esportearnings: that’s €295,980.
Poach harshly criticized Fortnite in April 2019: It was all about money, and it no longer brought joy to the professionals.
Poach has criticized Fortnite and Epic Games for years
This is how Poach previously criticized Fortnite: Poach has repeatedly expressed criticism of Fortnite and its development:
This is what he says now: In a statement on Twitter, Poach says he is ending his career in Fortnite. The game simply no longer makes him happy. Fortnite hasn’t been fun for him for a long time. He has wanted to play other games for a while but felt stuck in a Fortnite box. Epic also makes many mistakes in e-sports; they talk too little with the pros.
Poach says he is grateful to Fortnite and Epic for giving him the opportunity to pursue his dream job as a competitor and streamer, but Fortnite was never his goal. He was at the right place at the right time, but he wants to play something where he can be truly “competitive”, and Fortnite was never the right fit.
He is now focusing on Valorant as an e-sports professional and Twitch streamer.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare a new update has mixed up the playlists. There is also a mode that sets a very nasty trap for you.
What’s new: On March 31, Infinity Ward released a new update intended for the playlists. The “Cyber Attack Pro” mode also came into play. It will probably be the last playlist update before Season 2 ends. Before that, you can still snag double XP.
However, there are also modes that revolve around April 1st. Many players celebrate a mode that is actually a nasty April Fools’ joke.
What’s in the new playlist update
Changes in these modes: All rotating modes have been replaced with new playlists. Here’s an overview:
The Cyber Attack Pro mode is playable for the first time and is supposed to provide plenty of action.
The playlist “Just No Frustration” presents a nasty trap and lures you to Piccadilly 24/7.
The playlist “CoD players only want one thing…” brings Shipment 24/7 with various game modes.
The “Gunfight 3v3 – Only Snipers” mode lets you engage in a 3vs3 shootout with only sniper weapons.
This is how fans are lured to the playlist. Source: reddit
Here is the April Fools’ joke: Infinity Ward tempts with a playlist featuring Shipment 24/7, which includes one of the most popular modes in the game. It states, “Shipment total. Come on in. But just so you know: there are penalties for quitting.”
The correct playlist surrounding Shipment can be found in “CoD players only want one thing…”. There you will play several modes, all of which take place on the Shipment map.
What can the Cyber Attack Pro mode do? This mode promises a lot of action. Here, you cannot revive your teammates, as they automatically spawn back into the game. In their blog, the developers describe the gameplay as “frantic and fast-paced.”
