PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is also set to be released on Xbox One and PS4. However, that’s not enough. The developers would like to have cross-platform play between PC and consoles as well.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is currently only available for PC and there the battle royale game is already achieving great success. A version for Xbox One is expected to be released in 2017 and a PS4 version is supposed to become a reality in 2018.
But the developers at Bluehole do not want to limit it to everyone playing on their own machines. They are aiming for cross-platform play in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – We would like cross-platform play, but …
According to a interview on VG24/7, cross-platform play is something the developers of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds would definitely like to do.
But at the same time, the questioned developer Chang Han Kim (Executive Producer) took a step back. Yes, they really want to do it, but then the question arises as to how that would work with controls.
PC players have an advantage with mouse and keyboard over console players with their gamepads. However, console players would receive aim assists. These would be unfair in a fight against PC players who do not have such an “aim-bot”. The whole thing is still very difficult, which is why they want to take another look at everything at Bluehole and tackle it later. Thus, the cross-platform feature is currently not on the priority list.
What do you think about Chang Han Kim’s statement? Do you believe that Bluehole really intends to bring cross-platform play to the game? Or do you think they will fail because the differences in controls are just too extreme? And do you even think that cross-play makes sense for a game like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds? Let us know in the comments!
In the online role-playing game Riders of Icarus, a new class will soon be available. The Trickster is a little fairy that looks like a young girl. By the release in early July, you can already create such a heroine in advance.
If you were hoping for a new class in Riders of Icarus that is large, strong, and powerful, you’ll likely have to keep those wishes to yourself for a while. Because the upcoming new class “Trickster” is a little girl with fairy wings and antennas on her head who throws teddy bears as her attack. Furthermore, the fairy is gender-locked and can only be female. So the typical “loli class” that Asian MMOs are notorious for.

If you still want to play a “Trickster”, you can already create a character in advance.
Riders of Icarus – Create Trickster before release
The Trickster is only coming to the game on July 6, 2017. Until then, fans of the fairy don’t have to wait, because at least the character creation is already available. Just log into the game and create a character as a Trickster. This way, you can already reserve your desired fairy and its name. However, you will need a free character slot.
If you like, you can register for a Trickster launch pack for free on the official Riders of Icarus website. The package is free according to the developers and includes among other things a mount, 7 days of premium playtime, special wings for 30 days, a weapon skin, and a voucher for later character customization.
What do you think of the new class in Riders of Icarus? Is it a cute idea to play as an adorable little fairy? Or does the “loli factor” go too far for you? And for those who don’t understand the term loli: Colleague Cortyn has written an interesting article on the loli phenomenon in MMOs at the provided link. Enjoy reading and please write your opinion on the topic in the comments!

Our top 5 offers today are about survival, truck driving, horror, strategy, and action. There should be something for you, right?
We present to you a selection of our top 5 offers from the Steam Summer Sale 2017 every day. The big discount event from Steam started last week and is active until next Wednesday. Until then, you can sift through the large selection and see if there are any offers for you.
To make the search for a new game not so hard, we show you our 5 highlights of the top offers on Steam here on Mein-MMO.de every day. These offers are active throughout the entire sale. So you have plenty of time to think about whether you want to buy a title.
You can track our recommendations from the last days here: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4
Mein-MMO’s Top 5 of the Steam Summer Sale 2017 – Day 5 (27.06.)
Patrick’s personal recommendation: Don’t Starve (Franchise)
Survive, survive and don’t starve. My recommendation for today’s top offers is Don’t Starve – more specifically, the franchise of this game. In the Summer Sale, you currently find the singleplayer “Don’t Starve” and also the multiplayer “Don’t Starve Together”. With its unique graphic style, the game stands out strongly from other survival adventures and has its own charm.
So if you are more of a lone wolf and looking for a survival game, then the mentioned single-player part of the game might be worth considering. In the wilderness, you are all alone. The goal is clear: Survive! Gather wood and other items from your surroundings to craft tools and fight enemies.
Multiplayer action is available in “Don’t Starve Together”. Together with friends in coop, you can explore an unknown wilderness with bizarre creatures. While collecting materials to build camps or tools, nasty enemies can surprise you and underscore the survival factor.
In Anthem there are several Javelin classes. Apparently, these can possess different elements.
Anthem is a new, ambitious game from BioWare and EA – a shared-world action RPG set to be released in fall 2018 and then to be updated with content for 10 years. It was first revealed at E3 2017.
Now there is news about Anthem: For a few days, a concept art of a Javelin class has been circulating online. The Javelins are the stylish exosuits equipped with weapons and special abilities that grant the heroes their powers.
At E3, two classes were already mentioned and briefly introduced:
Ranger: A balanced class. From the perspective of a Ranger, you can see the events in the gameplay trailer:
Colossus: This is the tank among the Javelins. It is shown here on the right in the image:
Additionally, a previously unknown class is visible on this Anthem image to the right:
Concept art for this class has appeared on Twitter and Reddit:
Three different elements in Anthem?
No further information on this third class is available. It looks quite agile, which suggests it might be a fast DPS class. Possibly, the Javelin also has “mage abilities” as a type of energy seems to be swirling around its right arm or legs.
The concept art suggests that there are three different “energies” or “elements” in Anthem: It might be fire, lightning, and ice, but this can only be speculated.
Interesting: When two more players join the squad in the gameplay trailer, for a brief moment the names and two symbols are displayed:
By the way: Sandra has equipped the third, previously unknown class
To the right of Sandra’s name, a lightning symbol is displayed. To the right of Kim, there is a sort of blue flower. These symbols presumably represent the elements in Anthem.
Anthem has already faced numerous comparisons with the MMO shooter Destiny. In this context, a comparison can again be made, as Destiny also has three elements: Solar, Arc, and Void. Official information regarding the elements in Anthem is still pending.
Genji is one of the most agile characters of Overwatch. This, however, often poses significant challenges for the developers.
In the development of Overwatch, things do not always go as the developers initially intended. In a rather entertaining video on YouTube, Jeff Kaplan and Geoff Goodman discuss various phases of development and share some behind-the-scenes insights.
When asked about the things he regrets most in the game, Goodman quickly responds with an answer: Genji’s double jump.
“I believe Genji’s double jump is the ability in the game that I regret the most. That one thing makes him so hard to balance, because he is simply everywhere all the time. You want to always be behind him, being in the air – it’s practically like he’s flying all the time. That’s what makes him so nimble and great, but at the same time, it gives us huge headaches. What seemed totally harmless at first turned out to be problematic.”
New heroes are free!
Genji often receives changes
Genji is one of the candidates that receives a small adjustment in almost every second patch. The duration of his ultimate ability has already been reduced, the speed of his sword strikes increased, the delay after climbing a wall removed, and so on. However, the biggest change was that he could no longer reset his double jump by climbing a wall. Good Genji players could thus remain in the air permanently, as they (like Spiderman) bounced from wall to wall without ever touching the ground.
Could you even imagine a Genji without a double jump? Or is that an integral part of the cyborg ninja, even if it defies all laws of physics?
A leaked video shows the new League of Legends champion Kayn or Rhaast, who are something very special together.
Apparently, there will soon be some variation in League of Legends if we look at the latest leak of the MOBA. A video that was quickly removed shows the new champion, who apparently consists of two personalities that share the same body.
One character is called Kayn and looks like a shadow assassin, the other calls himself Rhaast and wields a large scythe as a weapon. In the video, you can get a first impression of the characters. (Excuse the poor quality)
Update: 27.06. 10:05 PM – Kayn has now been officially revealed by Riot!
New Champion Kayn – Abilities
Riot has now officially introduced Kayn after the leak. The following background story is told to us by the developers about the new champion:
Shieda Kayn’s achievements in the field of shadow magic are unmatched, and he constantly fights to fulfill his true destiny – to one day lead the Order of Shadows into a new era under Ionian rule. Although he knows that Rhaast, a living weapon of the Dark, is slowly but steadily corrupting his mind and body, he leads her unwaveringly and boldly. There seem to be only two possible endings: Either the weapon bows to Kayn’s will … or Kayn is completely consumed by the malevolent scythe, paving the way for the complete destruction of Runeterra.
Passive: Scythe of the Dark
Kayn wields an ancient weapon and struggles with Rhaast, the Dark one within him, for control. In every game, one must fall to the other. Kayn improves his shadow abilities by hunting ranged fighters, while Rhaast quenches his thirst for blood in direct confrontation with the opponent. If Kayn wins the confrontation, he ascends to the rank of shadow assassin. If Rhaast emerges victorious, he takes possession of his host and takes charge.
Shadow Assassin:Deals additional magic damage during the first seconds of combat against champions.
The Dark One: Heals for a portion of magic damage dealt to champions.
Q – Scythe Whirl
Kayn jumps forward and hits enemies near his target position. Both the jump and the hit deal normal damage. Scythe Whirl deals additional damage to monsters.
The Dark One:This ability deals additional damage to all enemies except minions as a percentage of their health.
W – Blade Strike
Deals damage in a straight line, significantly slowing all hit enemies.
Shadow Assassin: Leaves a living shadow that performs Blade Strike in Kayn’s place. The blade of the living shadow has a greater range.
The Dark One: Blade Strike knocks hit targets up briefly.
E – Shadow Step
Kayn gains temporarily increased movement speed and can pass through walls for a short time. When he enters a wall, he heals a bit, and the duration of Shadow Step is greatly extended. If Kayn is in combat with enemy champions, the duration is not extended.
Shadow Assassin:Gains additional movement speed upon activation of Shadow Step and is immune to slowing effects.
R – Dark Haunting
Kayn can invade a nearby enemy he has just dealt damage to. During the Haunting, Kayn cannot be targeted for a few seconds. If the ability is activated again during this time, the effect ends prematurely. Kayn then frees himself from the victim’s body and deals high damage.
Shadow Assassin:Dark Haunting can be cast from a distance and resets the additional magic damage from Scythe of the Dark after Kayn leaves his victim.
The Dark One:Dark Haunting deals additional damage equal to a percentage of the target’s maximum health and heals the Dark One.
As the website Surrenderat20 explains, the two personalities presented seem to be fighting for control over the body. The transformation occurs, according to the tooltip, on the summoner platform in their own base.
Source: Surrender@20
In addition to the abilities in the interface, there is information about the transformations. There, the cooldown of the individual forms and the portrait that adapts to the active personality can apparently be seen.
It is also evident that the abilities of the two heroes seem to differ somewhat from form to form.
Reddit speculates on Soul Collector
On Reddit, it is speculated that the champion can choose his personality through his passive ability. After an opponent is killed, the champion is said to be able to collect their soul and then be able to transform into one of the two forms.
The red form of the champion reminds the community of “Yasuo”, who also has a knock-up and a similar dash. The blue form has a higher attack speed and apparently stronger auto-attacks.
An offer to buy a Facebook group for €1000 may be common in business, but it does not fit the image of hobbyists who pursue their passion and have succeeded because their community loves them.
Much calculation, much elbow
Ziro.TV has approached the topic of “Destiny” with ambition and elbow since 2014. Much of it is calculation. It’s about controlling Facebook groups, deciding which videos may be posted there (their own) and which may not (all others). This leads to conflicts with other YouTubers.
Even the position as “German representatives of the community at Bungie” was achieved using elbows. At the end of Year 1, in summer 2015, Bungie celebrated the Destiny community with a video. Almost only English-speaking YouTubers appeared there.

Ziro.TV then mobilized their own community and made themselves known to Bungie with an angry comment under the video. One might call it clever or manipulative to instrumentalize one’s community to achieve one’s own goals. It has certainly worked. Since then, they have been invited as the only German-speaking representatives to Bungie events.
The answer to the question “Hypocrites or heroes” is thus: Neither. One cannot deny Ziro.TV’s passion and competence. However, they are coupled with ambition and a competitive mindset, which lack niceness and which they do not want to show their fans.
The face that Ziro.TV shows to the outside: that of the nice gamers next door, others YouTubers do not see. They do not see any face at all; they mainly feel the elbows.
Ziro.TV – Successful, but controversial
Conclusion: The success that Ziro.TV has is certainly deserved. It is the result of hard and clever work, branding, networking, and user closeness. Especially at the beginning, Ziro.TV was ahead of comparable offerings and was able to establish itself because of that. There is nothing wrong with that.
However, the way they have used their elbows can and should be viewed critically. This does not fit the image of the nice Destiny YouTubers who do everything out of passion and represent the German community as a whole.
Mein-MMO.de and Ziro.TV
We worked with Ziro.TV at the end of 2014 and embedded their videos on our site. They mainly provided us with screenshots with their watermark and our logo.
However, we quickly ended the collaboration. There were several reasons for this. Essentially, in our view, the collaboration failed because: Ziro.TV wanted us to cooperate “firmly” with them and not bring videos from other German YouTubers to our site.
In a side aspect, it was about the Facebook page Xur Destiny. Although Ziro.TV said they had nothing to do with it, only Ziro.TV videos were featured there. As an incentive for cooperation from us with Ziro.TV, it was offered that our articles could appear there.
After that, a trusting collaboration was no longer possible, and we decided to end the collaboration and ignore the channel as far as possible in the future.
Later, when the cooperation with us did not materialize, Ziro.TV entered into a collaboration with a German fan site. The site is relatively small in itself. However, it has a Facebook group with currently over 34,000 members. Only Ziro.TV videos were allowed there for a long time afterward. Meanwhile, that might be different.
The FB page “Xur Destiny” has only been sporadically maintained in recent months, and the cooperation with the fan page seems to be over as well. Meanwhile, Ziro.TV has built its own Facebook groups and channels running under its brand.
We would have liked to receive a statement from Ziro.TV. Despite repeated inquiries, we did not receive one.
YouTuber “Schausix” paints a different picture of Ziro.TV than that of the “nice guys next door.” He speaks of a “tyranny.” Anyone who speaks critically against Ziro.TV must expect that “mean comments” will appear under their own videos and that in large numbers.
https://youtu.be/mRC7aHlHqo8
The majority of German-speaking Destiny YouTubers know and like each other, exchange information, and collaborate. Ziro.TV stands alone. Invitations for collaborations have been repeatedly declined. There are always tensions.
Destiny for YouTubers: Hobby or Project?
Ziro.TV is not only more successful than comparable channels, they also behave differently:
Most YouTubers in Destiny see each other as colleagues. Ziro.TV sees the others as competitors.
While comparable YouTubers just made their videos, Ziro.TV has built a network from the beginning. This made them ahead of others in many things.
While most YouTubers have slipped into the theme of “Destiny”, Ziro.TV has been trying from the start to expand their reach through marketing means.
This is not inherently a bad thing, but it clashes with the image that Ziro.TV conveys to their fans.

The most important YouTube channel for Destiny in Germany is Ziro.TV. Serious allegations are now being raised against the channel. Are Germany’s biggest Destiny YouTubers hypocrites or heroes?
There are two faces of Ziro.TV.
Ziro.TV – The heroes of the German Destiny community
One is the picture of “heroes of the Destiny community“.
The duo of “Flo” and “Micha” has been creating Destiny content since November 7, 2014. They currently have 40 million views on their channel, spread across over 1700 videos. They regularly stream and have built communities on Facebook, Twitch, and YouTube.
They are the German representatives of the community at Activision and Bungie. They are “the guys next door” who treat Destiny as a hobby. They love their fans and do everything for them.
Ziro.TV – Hypocrites
This image has been shaken at the latest since last week. In a series of videos, YouTuber Lachegga paints a different picture of Ziro.TV. He calls them the “hypocrites of the Destiny community“.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlaMHKbQrb8&t=5s
Images are shown of them asking for donations and complaining that they earn too little money on YouTube while posing with a Mercedes on Instagram.
It is said that they take content from other YouTubers, delete watermarks, and pass off foreign gameplay as their own.
Ziro.TV is only about money while pretending it doesn’t matter at all.
Moreover, they would work against other channels. Anyone who speaks negatively about Ziro.TV must expect to be insulted by their “children’s army” in the comments. The German community lives in fear of confronting Ziro.TV.
Furthermore, they would overstate their own work and effort.
These videos by Lachegga have unleashed an avalanche. Other YouTubers are now speaking out and making allegations. Hundreds of players are discussing the topic in comments and reporting negative experiences with Ziro.TV.
Criticism is just envy
Ziro.TV did not comment on the allegations for several days, closed ranks, and disabled comments under their videos. The shitstorm intensified. In just a few days, they lost about 3,000 subscribers on YouTube.
Yesterday, a statement was made via video.
There, the allegations were labeled as lies stemming from envy. Someone wants to destroy them.
They did not buy subscriptions from English-speaking YouTubers.
Other allegations are private and are nobody’s business.
Moreover, they never said they had no money privately; they only said they earn little with YouTube.
https://youtu.be/MwY2rDU727U
Tyranny and Facebook: This is how we see it
Mein-MMO says: Lachegga’s criticism shoots beyond the target. Personal attacks and polemics make it easy to refute them in some points. Especially the point that Ziro.TV “bought” subscriptions directly is debatable.
We spoke to English YouTubers nKuch and DPJ, from whom Ziro.TV allegedly bought subscriptions and views in 2015. nKuch says he met the two only late in 2016 and was never contacted by them. DPJ says he only met Ziro.TV in 2016. The allegations that they bought subscriptions from him are therefore bullshit. He features them because they are nice guys.
However: Even if this point is refuted, the criticism has struck a nerve in the German Destiny community, otherwise the reactions from others would not have been so intense. A conflict is erupting that has been building up since the end of 2014.

The Necromancer release in Diablo 3 takes place tonight. In Germany, the maintenance for patch 2.6.0 will start at 11:00 PM.
Many of you have been waiting for months for the release of the Necromancer in Diablo III. Now there are only a few hours left until you can purchase the package. However, the release is delayed to the early morning hours of Wednesday instead of today, as announced.
The reason for the “delay” is the maintenance for patch 2.6.0, which must be completed for the release.
Diablo 3 Patch 2.6.0 – Necromancer DLC Release PC, PS4, Xbox One
In the announcement of the Necromancer’s release in Diablo III, Blizzard stated that maintenance must first be completed. Subsequently, you will have the opportunity to purchase the “Return of the Necromancer” DLC.
In Germany, the maintenance for the “Diablo 3” patch 2.6.0 is scheduled by Blizzard to start at 11:00 PM. This usually lasts one to two hours. However, the duration may change at short notice, so there can be no exact end of maintenance specified.
It is expected that the maintenance for patch 2.6.0 will be completed around 12:00 AM or 1:00 AM German time. Afterward, the Necromancer DLC will be available for purchase at a price of €14.99 in the shop.
After the maintenance, you can purchase the Necromancer package in different ways.
PC players can purchase the Rise of the Necromancer pack through a new shop that will be available in Diablo III. Alternatively, you can also buy the expansion through the Blizzard shop. Here’s the link to the Blizzard shop on eu.battle.net

Diablo 3 Patch 2.6.0
If the Necromancer DLC does not meet your expectations, you can still look forward to the new patch 2.6.0. Among other things, three new areas, such as the Veil Moor, will be added to the game. We have introduced the three new Diablo 3 areas here.
In addition, you can expect the Challenge Rifts in patch 2.6.0, where you can compete in a “slightly different kind” of competition.

To win a Dreadnought, you also have to complete the actions from the giveaway window. Those who perform more actions increase their chances. However, only one Dreadnought can be won per participant. The winners will be randomly selected by us at the end of the action on July 7, 2017, at 12:00 PM and you will receive your codes via email. Good luck!
In dark raid eggs, legendary Pokémon are waiting to battle against you in Pokémon GO. Mewtwo, Zapdos, and more can be found in legendary eggs.
The new raids in Pokémon GO are battles against powerful monsters for up to 20 trainers per group. More and more trainers are now being allowed for raid battles. Initially, you had to be at least level 35, but the level requirement for raids has already been reduced.
Currently, you will find yellow and pink eggs with difficulty levels 1-4 in the game. In the less known dark eggs are very special monsters: the legendary Pokémon like Mewtwo, Lugia, and Entei. They belong to difficulty level 5 and are currently not yet released.
Legendary Raid Eggs
The legendary raid bosses are assigned to the raid difficulty “5” and likely require many trainers to be defeated. So far, there is no exact date for when we will finally come into contact with the legendary monsters. We only know that they hatch from the legendary raid eggs. This information comes from the data mining of PokémonGOHub.
Then you will likely have the chance to catch the legendary Pokémon after a successful battle. This is also how it works with the other raids where the raid bosses hatch from eggs. After you defeat them, their CP decreases and you can try to catch them with special Poké Balls. You can find an overview of the raid bosses with difficulty levels here.
The following Pokémon could hatch from the dark (legendary) eggs in Pokémon GO:
Articuno
Zapdos
Moltres
Mewtwo
Raikou
Entei
Suicune
Lugia
Ho-Oh
In the displayed list from PokémonGOHub, you have an overview of the legendary monsters that we could expect in the game soon. For example, “Mew” is not included. Will the monster come into the game in other ways?
We are excited to see what Niantic has in store for the legendary Pokémon. We can hardly wait to finally see these special Pokémon in the game after having to wait for over a year.
Today, on June 27th, the servers of Destiny are down. Maintenance work is underway. The login is not functioning. Info about server status.
They were already announced last week, and today, Tuesday, it’s happening: There are extensive maintenance works taking place in Destiny. Anyone who wanted to fulfill their duties as a Guardian this evening will have to postpone it to another day.
Preparation for the maintenance begins at 4 PM. You will not be able to log in anymore.
At 5 PM, all players will be removed from their activities. The servers will go offline. Make sure to finish your mission before then.
The maintenance work will continue until the night at 1 AM (June 28th). However, past experiences show that Bungie’s maintenance often ends earlier than indicated.
Additionally: Bungie.net and the companion app will be available with limited functionality during the maintenance.
No changelog, but preparation for the Destiny 2 Beta
During this server downtime, nothing will change in Destiny 1. There will be no changes to game content or gameplay.
Instead, according to Bungie, this maintenance is intended to prepare for the “Destiny 2” beta, which starts in mid-July.
Information about the Destiny 2 Beta
These are the dates for the beta:
PS4 with early access (Closed Beta): July 18
Xbox One with early access (Closed Beta): July 19
The Open Beta for everyone starts on PS4 and Xbox One on July 21.
The Open Beta ends on July 23.
PC: The beta starts at the end of August.
In the beta, you can play the story mission “Homecoming”, the strike “Inverted Spire”, as well as PvP. It is expected that this PvP content will include the “Countdown” mode and the new map “Midtown”. A total of six Guardian subclasses will be available, including the three new focuses Dawnblade, Sentinel, and Arcstrider.
Demons Hunters, Hunters, and Monks are looking forward to a damage boost in WoW. However, things don’t look good for Warlocks…
Although patch 7.2.5 for World of Warcraft has been active for almost two weeks, the developers are still not completely satisfied with the impact. This results in small hotfixes and adjustments being made to ensure balance in the game. Tomorrow, on 28.06.2017, the Tomb of Sargeras will open its gates in “LFR” and Mythic difficulty, which is why the developers will make some minor changes to the classes.
In plain terms, this means buffs for Vengeance Demon Hunters, Survival Hunters, Windwalker Monks, and nerfs for Affliction Warlocks.
Below are all the buffs and nerfs that players can expect:
Demon Hunter
Vengeance
The damage of all abilities has been increased by 2%.
The damage of Demon Bite has been increased by 46%.
The effect of Mastery: Demonic Presence (Damage) has been increased by 7%.
Hunter
Survival
The damage of all abilities has been increased by 4%.
Monk
Windwalker
The damage of all abilities has been increased by 2.5%.
The damage of Fist of Fury has been increased by 12%.
Warlock
Affliction
The damage of Corruption has been reduced by 5%.
The damage of Agony has been reduced by 5%.
Additionally, there is a planned change for Frost mages that primarily affects the mechanics of a spell. The developers state:
Mage
Frost
Glacial Spike: The stored damage of Ice Lances will no longer be increased by percentage damage buffs active on the mage.
The damage of Glacial Spike has been increased by 50%.
The reasoning behind this change is that Glacial Spike benefits multiple times from various buffs – an effect that the developers did not desire. Since the individual Ice Lances are no longer buffed before they are combined in Glacial Spike, the damage of the spell decreases. However, the base damage has been increased by a solid 50%, which should compensate in most cases.
Roadhog has suffered greatly from the latest patch of Overwatch . His popularity is declining – but how can we “save” him?
The patch 1.12 of Overwatch has hit Roadhog pretty hard. Contrary to some assumptions that the changes are actually a buff, the criticism of Blizzard is now significant. Roadhog is no longer suited as a flanker who picks out individual characters and punishes them, but now relies on group protection. The reason for this is that his damage has been reduced by 33%, although his rate of fire and magazine size have been improved.
Especially his notorious “hook-shot-melee” combo is now only lethal against a few characters – like Tracer or D.Va without her mech.
Less cooldown for more performance with Roadhog?
At the colleagues from PvPLive, they had some good ideas on how Roadhog could be “fixed” to better meet his current role.
The sound when successfully hooking an opponent should be louder, and the associated voice line should also be amplified. In the heat of battle, it is hard for outsiders to hear whether Roadhog has someone hooked – and then the chance has already passed.
The cooldown of the hook should be reduced from 8 seconds to 6. In an earlier version, he had this cooldown, but it was extended due to the aforementioned combo. Now that the combo is rarely lethal, the cooldown could be reduced again.
Cortyn says: I still can’t come to terms with the Roadhog update. It’s also the first time that a character is stripped of his original “role”. Previously, he was a flanker, now he feels more like a supporter who has to stay protected by the group. While neither the old nor the new role fulfills the role of a true “tank”, the new playstyle is simply boring and unsatisfying.
What do you think about it? Do you still enjoy playing Roadhog? Do you wish for changes? Or is the current version perfect?
YouTuber Andang introduces you to the new areas that await you with the Mordor expansion of the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online.
With the new expansion, it’s finally heading towards Mordor, where the actual story of The Lord of the Rings ends. However, that doesn’t mean that the MMORPG will also come to an end. The developers have already announced their intention to tell more stories. But for now, “Mordor” is on the agenda. The YouTuber Andang will show you what the areas there look like.
The Regions of Mordor
Udun
Through the Black Gate, you reach the land of Udun. Here, you will find an area full of forges, bordered by two fortresses. The forges of Anglach to the north and Durthang to the south. Udun is said to be a very dark and threatening place.

Currently, the development studio Standing Stone Games is allowing selected players to thoroughly test “Mordor” to release the expansion at an undisclosed time this summer.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds had a few issues with loot. Some items spawned too often, while others too rarely. An initial loot patch as part of the monthly update is supposed to change that.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a blast when you roam around as a lone fighter, equipping yourself with weapons and gear for the inevitable survival fight. Especially cool is when you manage to capture a care package that is occasionally dropped visibly by planes over the battlefield.
Unfortunately, according to a recent data analysis, the spawn and drop rates of items in the boxes and in the open world were not functioning optimally. Therefore, a loot patch as part of the big June update has been installed to remedy this.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – New Weapon “Groza” and Fewer Helmets
The loot patch first replaces the VSS Vintorez with a new bullpup rifle called “Groza”. This weapon is now available instead of the VSS in care packages. The Vintorez, on the other hand, is now only available as a random world spawn.
Also new: There is a small chance that you will find silencers for assault and sniper rifles, as well as 4x scopes in the boxes. All these items would be useless along with a Vintorez, as this rifle already comes with these upgrades by default.
The open world has also received some adjusted loot drops:
A new pistol called P18-C is now in the game
The SCAR-L now spawns less frequently
The UMP now spawns less frequently
The UZI now spawns more frequently
Level-1 helmets previously spawned much more frequently than level-1 vests. Now helmets appear just as often
According to the developers, even more loot adjustments will follow in the future. This one is just the beginning. The additional patch notes for thebigmonthly updateinJune will be provided later by the developers.
The PvP MMO The Exiled has not become the success that the developers had hoped for. However, a new game mode is supposed to change that.
According to Steamcharts, nine players were active in the PvP MMO The Exiled during peak times in the last 30 days. This is a disaster for any online game that relies on many players working together. The developers have now realized this failure and are informing the fans about the situation in an open letter.
Too few players, too high bills
Although smaller and larger updates have been released repeatedly, it is clear that the very small player base can neither finance the game nor the development studio. Therefore, it was necessary for the team to take on contract work so that the bills could be paid. Consequently, further work on The Exiled had to be suspended for the time being. However, the situation has since relaxed a bit.
The team has now carefully reviewed the numerous feedback from players to better address the wishes of the fans. However, they have rejected one of the biggest requests outright. The team will not turn The Exiled into a regular MMORPG with PvE content. On the one hand, this does not fit the concept according to the developers, and on the other hand, it would require an unreasonably large amount of work that the team currently cannot handle.
The Survival Mode is supposed to fix it
Instead, a new Survival Mode will be introduced. This mode will be playable for about three hours a day. Each hero has a limited number of lives. Once these are depleted, they are no longer part of the match. Additionally, it will be necessary to drink water at an oasis in between.
The development team hopes to attract more players with the Survival Mode and make battles exciting again. The update with the Survival Mode is expected to be released this August. In addition, there will be bug fixes, optimizations, and performance improvements. Can this save the game The Exiled?
In Destiny, today, on June 27th, is the Weekly Reset. There are new activities to complete, like the Nightfall Strike or the Featured Raid.
The era of Destiny 1 is slowly coming to an end. The Destiny 2 Beta begins in three weeks and many Guardians are preparing to experience their “last moments” in Destiny 1. Bungie has already released a schedule for when the last Iron Banner and when the last Trials of Osiris will take place.

Is the story in Anthem really that important? Initial statements from the developers leave some fans in doubt.
At the announcement of Anthem at the last E3, viewers were thrilled by the first gameplay scenes. But can the game meet the high expectations and have a compelling story? After all, it’s a game from BioWare, and fans will be particularly attentive to the background story.
The General Manager of BioWare, Aaryn Flynn, revealed some details in an interview with CBC Radio about how the world of Anthem will be structured. Here is his statement translated from English:
“According to the story, you are a part of humanity and part of a group called “Freelancers”, who are out here to protect humanity on an alien planet.
This is a genre we call “science-fantasy”, which is very similar to Star Wars or the Marvel Universe, where you see numerous fascinating things, but we don’t worry too much about why they happen, meaning the science behind it. Mass Effect has been a true hardcore science fiction IP; this one [Anthem] is more about simply having fun in the game world and immersing yourself in the lush and exotic environment.”
Some fans are already worried that due to this statement, the story behind Anthem might just be an “accessory” and won’t receive enough attention. However, it should be noted that Drew Karpyshyn is involved in the story, who was also primarily responsible for the narrative in Star Wars: The Old Republic and the first “Mass Effect” games.
Final Fantasy XIV offers you a new challenge with the Primae Susano. How to defeat the final boss is explained here in our video guide.
The Stormblood expansion for Final Fantasy 14 not only brings daring Red Mages and honorable Samurai. It also includes new bosses that will truly challenge your skills. One of them is the Primae Susano, who was already beaten live at E3.
Now it is time to pound the Primae boss in the live version of Stormblood.
Final Fantasy XIV – Susano – Primae fight – Not for the immobile
Susano is the first Primae in Stormblood that you get to beat. The fight against him is not overwhelmingly difficult, but you definitely have to be able to move. If you just stand there like a statue, you have no chance.
The fight against Susano is divided into three phases:
In Phase 1, you need to be especially careful to place Susano’s area damage fields all in one spot. So snuggle up nicely when you get the effect. Also, watch out for the storm clouds that will increase during the fight.
In Phase2, Susano tries to crush you with his massive sword. Therefore, the tank must block the blade and the rest of the raid must then attack the sword.
In Phase3, it continues as usual, only that Susano has a few additional tricks up his sleeve. He regularly casts “Storm Splitter,” which will quickly take out your tank if it is not healed quickly. Additionally, he sometimes puts players in a kind of shell game and moves them on the battlefield. You then need to quickly take out the right shell and free your comrades.
