Arcane Season 2: New images show how many years have passed

The second season of Arcane takes place significantly later than the first. A new teaser shows how the successful animated series continues.

Hardly any series has made such a massive impact as Arcane, the animated adaptation of League of Legends. The story around Jinx, Vi, and the major conflicts between the technological metropolis of Piltover and the suffering undercity has captivated millions of viewers.

The end of season 1 left many fans feeling empty, as they were eager to know what happens next. Soon the wait will be over – and a new teaser shows fresh footage from the second season.

Arcane: Teaser Trailer for Season 2

What was shown now? The teaser trailer above was recently released and shows a few new images from the upcoming season. Even though much of the footage is already from the first season, there are some hints in the new images about what has changed in the world of Arcane in the meantime.

What do the images show? In one picture, we see Vi and Caitlyn, both wearing the armor of the Enforcers from Piltover – so Vi has presumably moved away from her life in the undercity and joined the protectors of the city to defend it against enemies or at least hopefully bring an end to the ongoing conflict with the undercity.

However, interesting is the red-haired young woman on the far left of the image. By her appearance, she could be Marcus’s daughter, whom we only briefly saw in the first season and who is now following in her father’s footsteps. Back then, she was still a small child, so about 10 years must have passed between the seasons. A specific indication will surely be provided when the series finally starts.

Arcane Netflix Season 2 Trailer Still the group

This is how the community is discussing: The small teaser is already causing a lot of discussions within the community under the YouTube video. Because although it only lasts a few seconds, the creators have hidden numerous details in the images again.

For instance, the user brunoaguiar251 noted that the back view of Jinx, who is slowly walking over the bridge, holds a particular detail. Because Jinx’s shadow is not her own – but Vi’s. This likely symbolizes that Vi is always close behind her former sister.

When does Season 2 of Arcane start? You can watch the second season starting in November on Netflix. A specific release date is not yet known – just as it is unclear in what rhythm the new episodes will be released. For the first season, 3 episodes were always released simultaneously, as they formed a story segment together. Whether that will also be the case for season 2 remains to be seen.

Are you excited for the second season of Arcane?

Until recently, we didn’t know we needed it – developers of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater create MMO

What are the former developers of Neversoft (Tony Hawk Pro Skater) up to, who founded a new studio with Free Range Games in 2009? Well, they are developing a “love letter to skateboarding culture” of a different kind, for Steam and the Epic Games Store.

What kind of MMO is this? Free Range Games’ current project is called Wrekless and is set to enter Early Access in the third quarter of 2024 on Steam and the Epic Games Store. According to the official description of the game, you can expect a “love letter to skateboarding culture” of a different sort.

Wrekless is supposed to be a small-scale MMO where you can build skateparks and mini-games in real-time with up to 50 other skaters, where fancy tricks and daring combos can be chained together.

The announcement trailer for Wrekless:

Real-time means that ramps and jumps can be constructed right in front of or underneath skating players. You can also drop speed boosts in front of them or wipe the rail from under their board in the middle of a grind.

In addition to community parks, you will also have official levels from the developers available. Your most epic moments can be recorded. The variety of assets from the building kit will allow you to create parks with a wide range of themes. The Early Access phase is expected to last about a year. How much the EA access will cost is currently unknown.

Skateboarding professionals at work

Who is behind Wrekless? The indie developers of Free Range Games may sound familiar to you as they released the survival crafting game The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria last year.

Before that, they supported other studios on notable projects like The Callisto Protocol or Oddworld: Soulstorm, and they released smaller games such as Rube Goldberg Workshop or Spelldrifter.

Regarding the skateboarding theme, it is particularly exciting to consider the projects the developers worked on before their time at Free Range Games. They were part of Neversoft, where they helped create perhaps the best digital skateboarding series of all time with Tony Hawk’s Skateboarding.

New survival game launches with over 38,000 players on Steam, promises major updates right away

The survival game Soulmask was released less than a week ago on Steam. Now the developers are already speaking up and promising that they are working on some important improvements.

  • Soulmask is a new survival game that is currently playable in Early Access on Steam and developed by the studio CampFire.
  • It is an open-world game, with a core aspect being a mask that grants your character essential survival skills.
  • In total, there are 10 different masks and 20 different terrains waiting for you.
  • Already after the first week, Soulmask can boast over 38,000 players (via steamcharts.com).

MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus has already tested the game in the 40-hour demo – but the game is far too large for such little time.

The survival game Soulmask will enter Early Access in June

What is the status after the first week? After the first days and 38,000 players, things look strong for Soulmask so far. With over 3,000 reviews, the game currently holds a 79% positive rating.

However, Soulmask is still in its infancy and despite many positive reviews and high numbers, the developers at CampFire Studio say: “We are not good enough yet.” They have now discussed some of the most important improvements they are already working on alongside a few requested updates.

What are the developers working on now? With an open world and plenty of content for hundreds of hours of gameplay, it is not surprising that there are still some issues in Early Access. These have been recognized by the developers and are now set to be addressed.

A major issue they want to address concerns players who die during the game. In such cases, it can happen that your items, which you could normally collect in the world, simply disappear. CampFire also discussed a solution if you are currently affected by this.

You will need to reset all your settings to “Default” in the advanced settings menu. Then, you can set the time it takes before your items effectively self-destruct after your death.

CampFire also commented on other complaints they have received from players. This includes issues such as some tribe members getting stuck, being unable to successfully catch mounts, or materials appearing but not being collectible. The team has noted these issues and is now working on them. For example, they intend to improve the AI of tribe members.

Better filtering and sorting for your backpack

The team is currently also working on improving the filter and sorting in the backpack. “Right now we are testing stability,” is the update on the current status. This is certainly good news for those who have trouble keeping track of their inventory. “Please give us a little more time, it will be available soon,” the developers promise.

Whether the number of tribe members will be increased, as many players have requested, depends on how much it affects the balance of the game. They are also asking for more time in this regard. Diseases will instead be slightly toned down so they don’t suddenly wipe out your entire tribe.

Lastly, the team is working on adding a mechanic that ensures that when you fight bosses with your teammates, the difficulty increases, but so does the drop rate. “So that every participant receives equal items,” it is stated from the official side.

2 of the greatest sci-fi monsters in film history would have fought in an anime, but Disney didn’t want to

Alien and Predator are iconic sci-fi franchises that have fought against each other. There was even a finished anime featuring the battle between the two monsters. However, Disney did not want you to see it.

What is it about? In the Alien-focused podcast Perfect Organism: The Alien Saga Podcast, Joshua Izzo was interviewed. He was the Director of Licensing at Fox from 2012 to 2016. In his career, he dealt with many franchises. These included Transformers, the Ninja Turtles, and during his time at Fox, Alien.

In the interview, he talks about an unreleased project in the Alien vs. Predator franchise. An anime based on Alien vs. Predator was supposed to be released on Alien Day, April 26, 2016, and it even has 10 completed episodes. However, the studio decided not to release it just before the launch.

In August, we can expect the next Alien film:

A finished sci-fi anime

On April 26, 2023, a new episode of the Perfect Organism podcast was released. There, Joshua Izzo talks about an anime for Alien vs. Predator. This was in production for Alien Day 2016, and even 10 episodes were produced. He also shares information about the story.

  • The anime was supposed to be set far in the future and not connected to any of the previous films
  • This was to ensure that the story would not interfere with future projects
  • Additionally, the two Alien vs. Predator films, which were poorly received by both franchises, were not supposed to influence the story of the anime, but rather the various AvP comics
  • In Japan, the 10-part series was to air on television while it was to be released on DVD and Blu-ray worldwide
  • Shinji Aramaki was involved as director

Aramaki has directed many sci-fi animes in the past, including various Appleseed projects and an episode of Halo Legends. According to Izzo, the AvP anime was even completed and was supposed to be released in 2016.

Ultimately, the studio decided not to release it after all. Izzo mentions Alien Covenant as a possible reason. Ridley Scott approached Fox at that time to create Alien Covenant. The Predator, known here as Predator – Upgrade, was also said to be in planning, leading Izzo to suspect that Disney did not want to interfere with a new project.

The logical justification for this is that the anime has no connection to the two franchises, which, in a world full of cameos and film universes, simply does not fit from a marketing perspective.

Even after Disney’s acquisition of Fox, the anime has not been released. Whether it will ever be released is questionable given the long wait time. On the other hand, such a project would be perfect for the current streaming landscape. Even if it sounds strange, this is not the only time that finished projects have not been released. Warner and DC have a similar case with a superhero film: You will never be able to see a superhero film with Michael Keaton, even though it was already completed

Clint Eastwood couldn’t get into Superman, preferred an unknown Marvel hero

Clint Eastwood has a favorite superhero who is neither Batman, Superman nor Spider-Man. He even turned down the role of Superman. Instead, he prefers a hero from the Marvel universe who is less known today.

Clint Eastwood, known as a legend of the Western genre and especially for his iconic role as Dirty Harry, has never played a superhero in his nearly 70-year career. However, that does not mean that he was not interested in them. In fact, he even had the opportunity to portray Superman, but he preferred to decline. For him, there seems to be only one true superhero.

Superman is nothing for Clint Eastwood

What does Clint Eastwood say? In an interview with the LA Times, Clint Eastwood reminisced about the offer to play the Man of Steel.

He said the following:

I thought: ‘What, Superman? No, that’s not for me. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, it’s just right for someone else, but not for me.’

Clint Eastwood via LA Times

The role ultimately went to Christopher Reeve, who portrayed Superman in a total of four films. Eastwood further explained why he was not that interested in the role of Superman:

I have always liked characters that are more based in reality. They can do great things or things that are more than human – like Dirty Harry, who has the gift of doing crazy things, or all the Western types. But they are still not superheroes in capes.

Clint Eastwood via LA Times

Clint Eastwood’s favorite superhero is from the Marvel universe, but is less known than the usual suspects like Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk, or Captain America. In fact, Namor, the Sub-Mariner, is his favorite.

Namor is Clint Eastwood’s favorite superhero

Who is Namor, the Sub-Mariner? He is a hero from the Marvel universe who first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1939 and is much less known today. At that time, Clint Eastwood was 9 years old. The Sub-Mariner, that’s the one I always liked. When I was a kid, I had all his comics, he told the LA Times.

Namor is the King of Atlantis and rules the seas with a mix of superhuman strength, speed, and the ability to fly. In World War II, he aids Captain America and later joins the Avengers. Yet, the most important thing for him remains Atlantis. He is a complex figure who acts as both a hero and an anti-hero.

Namor is one of the oldest and most fascinating characters in the Marvel universe. In 2022, the Marvel character made his MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Namor was played by Tenoch Huerta. Did you know that? Chadwick Boseman actually auditioned for a supporting role at Marvel, but instead became the King of Wakanda

User is worried about his gaming PC because it is sweating, asks community: „Is that dangerous?“

A water-cooled computer fogs up, the otherwise transparent panels are soaking wet. This makes the owner uneasy and he seeks advice on Reddit. In the end, the explanation is applied environmental physics and reassuring.

How can a PC fog up? In a subreddit for PC enthusiasts, the insecure user posts two photos of an obviously wet PC. Fortunately, it appears that the panels are only wet on the outside due to condensation; inside, no significant amount of moisture seems to be accumulating.

The exact explanation for this case follows below, but ultimately it always boils down to warm, humid air meeting a cold surface. Here, the water condenses and forms a film, as can be seen here with the PC in question. This phenomenon is often visible in everyday life on windows or other surfaces – but usually not on a home PC case.

Note: The warmer the air, the more gaseous water it can hold. Those who want to read more about it, will find a decent starting point here on Wikipedia.

Perhaps even more unusual than a damp PC are USB sticks protruding from walls in public spaces. What’s that all about?

Warm and humid versus cold in Southeast Asia

How did the side panels fog up? The poster of the story claims to live in Southeast Asia, specifically Indonesia. He likely has a refrigerator as well, but he doesn’t live in it, as Reddit user OG_Zephyr inquires. But he and his wife prefer to keep it cool: They installed an air conditioning (AC) unit in their bedroom and gaming room.

Do you live in a refrigerator?

Reddit user OG_Zephyr

This cools the room to around 20 degrees Celsius. However, the rest of the apartment is usually around 30 degrees Celsius and, accordingly, very humid. Now, according to the additional details provided by the inquirer, his wife turned off the AC in the morning after getting up and directly opened the door and left it open.

As a result, a lot of relatively hot and humid air entered the bedroom within a short time and enveloped the gaming PC. However, it was still relatively cold on the outside from the night in the cold room, and so the condensation water collected. Experts say: The dew point temperature of the air mass was undershot.

Is the moisture dangerous for the PC? Generally, a PC should not get wet – neither outside nor inside. But as long as the water only appears on the outside of the case in this form, nothing worse than rust on metal parts should occur. This is also repeatedly pointed out in the comments on Reddit. (via reddit.com)

But water on the circuits can cause short circuits and thereby permanently damage components. However, that is not the case here. In general, PC components or the case should not come to this extent cooler than the surrounding air – rather warmer. This is especially true when using air cooling.

When using water cooling systems like in this Reddit experience report, the case is likely to heat up less. Nevertheless, such an extent of condensation is unusual.

The world of gaming PCs and what’s inside them is vast, and we at MeinMMO have many stories about mishaps, triumphs, or in a special case, complete overestimations of the capabilities of one’s own system. One user claims to own a true hell machine, but he is mistaken and is corrected by the knowledgeable community.

A player wants to know from a Steam competitor if he can inherit his many games – they answer

After the Steam prefers not to transfer your account after death, players have now also inquired about the competition. One game provider surprisingly responded.

Why is the question being asked? In May, a user asked Valve if he could transfer his account through a will after his death. They responded and said that this was unfortunately not possible. The reason for this is the terms of use, which prohibit allowing other people to use the account. This also includes sharing the username and password.

For another user, support responded differently to the same question. According to them, Valve would decide on a case-by-case basis whether the account could be inherited (via Steam Community).

Valve is generally willing to work with the respective individuals should such an unfortunate situation occur.

After these responses circulated among players, they wanted to know how things stand with Steam’s competition. Therefore, they inquired with GOG (you might remember it as Good Old Games) and actually received a response.

We also addressed the original topic in our video:

Start video
A user asks Valve if he can bequeath his many games on Steam – they reply

GOG allows you to inherit the account

What is GOG’s response? The Steam competitor Good Old Games has no problem allowing you to inherit your account, as Dexerto reports on X.

Should such a case arise, you need a copy of the so-called “court order” in America. The counterpart to the “court order” in Germany is a judicial decision.

The support will, in any case, review your request and do “its best to make this possible,” quotes Dexerto on X. Whether decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis as with Valve is unclear.

Contrary to Dexerto’s post, user @slippyfox points out on X.com that the user agreement from GOG under section 3.3 can be quoted as follows: “Your GOG account and your GOG content […] may not be shared, sold, gifted, or transferred to other people.” However, it is possible that GOG may deviate from the agreement in this case.

How does the community react to the support’s response? The community is pleased with GOG’s response, which is more positive and clearer than that of Steam support.

On X.com, user @Fallenislost writes: “Based. GOG is so good for preserving games”

User @sikane02 writes on X.com: “That seems to be the most obvious solution.”

Also, @Jay_Dook does not understand the problem on X.com: “I wouldn’t know why not. I mean, utility companies, mobile providers, etc. only require a death certificate to transfer ownership of an account.”

In the replies to the post on X.com, users point out that a transfer by a judge via a court order no longer seems entirely voluntary and this might also work for a Steam account.

The issue with death and games on your accounts often lies in the fact that you do not actually own the games, but only have a license to use them. In our previous article on the Steam case, we also explored the legal situation in more detail: A user asks Valve if he can inherit his many games on Steam – They respond

The head of Final Fantasy XIV wants you to see your friends suffer – Therefore, don’t skip the story

With the upcoming expansion Dawntrail, Final Fantasy XIV is starting a completely new story arc for the first time since 1.0. However, there will be no new entry point for the add-on. Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida discussed a skip system with MeinMMO and brought a message for newcomers.

Why is a new entry point a topic? In Final Fantasy XIV, there are now several hundred hours of content that is current and can be played, some of which must be played. This includes, for example:

  • Main story
  • Class or job quests
  • The 72-player instances Eureka and Bozja
  • Boss fights of various difficulty levels
  • Six 8-player raids in two difficulty levels each
  • Six three-part alliance raids
  • Five ultimate raids

Anyone wanting to play the latest content must have reached the current maximum level, completed the main story quest, and progressed sufficiently in gear progression.

In March, Naoki Yoshida announced that he would not introduce a skip system for newcomers with Dawntrail. MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz believes that could be perhaps the biggest mistake of Yoshida’s career.

Yoshi-P in a dilemma: Community or comfort?

The director and producer of Final Fantasy XIV has been Naoki Yoshida since 2010. He is aware of the challenge that new and returning players face. He discusses this in an interview with MeinMMO: It always gives me headaches when we are working on a new expansion.

In fact, he and his team had already started developing a skip system two years ago: With the push of a button, players should be able to skip the entire Hydaelin and Zodiark-saga from 2.0 to 6.0.

The system is reportedly already finished and implemented. Whether it is indeed a concrete new entry point, as World of Warcraft offers with new expansions, he left open. However, since there are already so-called adventurer stories as a soft story skip, the system is likely to be intended as such a new entry point.

What are Adventurer Stories?

In the in-game shop, so-called Adventurer Stories can be purchased for real money. This allows the main story to be skipped up to the start of any expansion.

There are also specific Adventurer Stories for the classes. These can be used independently of the story skips. However, if you only skip the story, you will not have a class at the required maximum level.

So, anyone wanting to start directly in Endwalker at this moment must purchase the Adventurer Story Shadowbringers and one for a class of their choice. However, this does not mean they have reached the endgame: All story and combat content from Endwalker must be played first.

However, Yoshida was long indecisive. Ultimately, he decided not to implement the new system. The decisive factor was what he observed in the community:

When players invite their friends, there aren’t really many who tell their friends: Oh hey, come to me! You can skip the game by just using this item, and then we can play together right away.

Rather, players who have already experienced the story want their friends to have the same experiences. So they tell their friends about it, invite them to the game, and say: Oh, we can play together. I will follow your progress. Just let me know if you have any problems. We can always play together, walk [through the world] together and engage in combat content. And at some point, we can even play the latest content together.

When I look at the current state of the community over the past two years, during which we’ve been working on the expansion, I realize that many players have gone through exactly this process.

Naoki Yoshida, 28.05.2024

Naoki Yoshida also mentions that many popular streamers, such as Asmongold and Preach Gaming, have started with Final Fantasy XIV in recent years. Their fans do not want their favorite content creators to skip the story. They want to see how the streamers experience their journey as Warriors of Light.

Thus, the dilemma was that Yoshida is sure that many players would use a built-in story skip after Dawntrail. However, he also believes that this could destroy the positive atmosphere that players have built through experiencing the story:

I really didn’t want to destroy this sense of community. So I thought about it long and hard, and I was very indecisive. But that is the reason why I decided not to open the system.

Having the same experiences and suffering with the story

Final Fantasy XIV is repeatedly praised for its brilliant storyline. For players whose primary focus is on endgame content, the length is likely more of a thorn in their side. Final Fantasy veterans, storyline enthusiasts, and (J-)RPG fans celebrate it:

You start in the base game as a newcomer in one of three starting cities. For the first 15 levels, you are primarily a runner – it’s the tutorial, after all. However, you gradually earn more fame and honor as an adventurer until the ominous Scions of the Seventh Dawn take notice of you.

The group recruits you due to your special abilities: You can fight monstrous summoned deities called Primals without succumbing to them. Additionally, you also assist the Scions in the never-ending conflict with the Garlean Empire, which would love to colonize your homeland.

Throughout the story, you experience all sorts of adventures alongside the NPCs – they really grow on you. The story is captivating, and naturally, players who have already experienced it want their friends to be equally engaged. Many find it important:

  • Does my buddy suffer like I do when that truly lovable NPC sacrifices themselves?
  • Is my favorite streamer also as surprised as I was during the unmasking of the Crystal Exarch from Shadowbringers?
  • Will my friend cry like a baby at the end of Endwalker?

These shared experiences connect the majority of the community. That’s the nature of consuming a few hundred hours of the same epic story. Naoki Yoshida knows this and wants newcomers and returners to play the story.

n

Enjoying the story at one’s own pace

Anyone wanting to start anew or return to Final Fantasy XIV faces the mountain of content described above. There are likely enough players who just dive in and enjoy every second. Those with little interest in the story may skip all cutscenes for time reasons.

When asked what Naoki Yoshida would like to say to newcomers to motivate them, he replied:

What I would tell a new player just starting is to take your time. Enjoy the story at your own pace.

A large part of the content is now designed so that it can be enjoyed alone. And even if they don’t want to play alone, they can ask their friends to accompany them, and they can play the content together.

I think this is [in Final Fantasy XIV] something entirely different than in other MMOs. But of course, it’s also not the same as a standalone game. It just takes time.

But yes. What I would really tell new players is to enjoy it at their own pace and embrace the adventure.

Naoki Yoshida, 28.05.2024

For returning players, Yoshi-P has a message – but an unusual one: He advises them not to spend money on Final Fantasy XIV right away.

Naoki Yoshida has previously advised players, for example, not to always have an active subscription for Final Fantasy XIV. One should play the content they enjoy, and when they are done, unsubscribe and play other games. That he is not so keen on particularly high subscription numbers, he repeated recently in an interview with Screenrant.

Start video

To him, it appears that returning players should take advantage of the regularly recurring return events. Here, they do not have to pay for their subscription and can play for a certain number of days. Then, according to Naoki Yoshida’s logic, they can decide for themselves whether they want to return.

Anyone fearing the long road to Dawntrail now has the official permission of the director and producer to work through the previous content at their own pace. If the development team continues to stay true to itself, the new content will also be playable in a few years.

MeinMMO editor Sophia Weiß also had time around the interview to try out the two new classes from Dawntrail. In our report, we present them to you and for whom they are intended. And why Sophia might change her main after eight years: I tried the new expansion for Final Fantasy XIV and fell in love with the new class like from Sword Art Online

Diablo 4: Next patch 1.4.2 makes the most annoying farm easier, but that still takes a while – patch notes in German

In Diablo 4 the next patch is coming, adjusting the drop rates and the bosses in the pit. However, no date for update 1.4.2 is known yet. MeinMMO provides the patch notes in German.

The highlights from the patch: The drop rates for Stygian Stones in the pit, the new endgame activity, will be increased with patch 1.4.2. The bosses in the pit are also expected to be revised and adjusted to the respective level of the dungeon.

With season 4, a new crafting system has been introduced, for which you collect hardening manuals. After the patch, you will also recognize their drops on the ground, as their name will then begin with “Manual”. Additionally, no duplicates or outdated hardening manuals will drop anymore, and none that you have already collected or for which you have a version of higher rarity.

Moreover, completing the final dungeon, presumably both on world level 2 and world level 3, will grant you a nightmare seal. And the bug with the Uber Unique “The Grandfather” will also be fixed by patch 1.4.2.

When will the patch go live? This is currently unclear. On the website, the developers write: “Please note that the exact timing for this patch has not yet been determined. We will keep you informed.”

Once patch 1.4.2 is live, the bonuses for the “Blessing of the Mother” event will also be adjusted. In the forum, community manager Adam Fletcher writes that for the first few days of the event there will be 35% XP and 35% gold, but as soon as patch 1.4.2 is released next week, there will be 25% XP and 50% gold.

You can find the full patch notes on the second page of the article.

Higher chances for Stygian Stones

What do I need Stygian Stones for? The drop rates for Stygian Stones in the pit were apparently very low before. You need them to summon the “Tormented Echoes”, i.e., the bosses in the “Level 200” version. In addition to the stones, you need three times the amount of “normal” boss mats.

With patch 1.4.2, the drop rates for Stygian Stones in the pit will be increased. Blizzard provides the following examples:

  • Level 1: 5 %
  • Level 40: 10 %
  • Level 100: 18 %
  • Level 200: 30 %

The change seems to be well received by the community. Diablo expert and streamer wudijo expresses in his YouTube video: “The Stygian Stones are being buffed, that’s something we’ve been waiting for.” He suspects that the chance for the stones was below 5% and did not scale with the levels in the pit.

For the “Tormented Echoes” you need a strong build. You can find the best endgame builds in Season 4 of Diablo 4 here:

What else is being adjusted in the pit? After the patch, you will no longer see the highest available level by default when selecting the pit level, but rather the last completed level. With patch 1.4.2, the developers are also adjusting the damage from boss strength and the boss affixes to match the difficulty level of the dungeon. So far, the bosses are partly so tough that players ask whether the higher levels can even be completed without cheats.

Destiny 2: “Never-Ending Hunt” unlock – Here’s how to get the exotic sniper

With The Final Shape, the “Endless Hunt” / “Still Hunt” was introduced into Destiny 2. We will show you how to unlock the exotic sniper.

What kind of exotic weapon is this?

  • “Endless Hunt” or “Still Hunt” is an exotic sniper rifle of the damage type “Solar”.
  • With the exotic perk, the “Endless Hunt” becomes a Golden Gun.
  • As with the Hunter’s super, you also have a bar that charges with the exotic sniper when you collect power spheres or land precision hits.
  • Once the bar is completely filled, you can hold down the reload button to transform the rifle into a Golden Gun.
  • In this mode, you have three “Golden Gun” shots, with the damage inflicted increasing with each subsequent shot. Special ammo is not consumed when shooting in this mode.

Complete the “Wild Card” quest and unlock the “Endless Hunt”

How to get the “Endless Hunt”: To unlock the “Endless Hunt”, you must have fully completed the campaign of The Final Shape.

After finishing the campaign, you will receive an exotic quest called “Destined Heroes”, which gives you the exotic sword “Ergo Sum”. Once you have completed the first part of “Destined Heroes”, you need to speak to Cayde-6.

You will then receive the exotic quest “Wild Card” from Cayde-6, and upon completing it, you will get the “Endless Hunt” from Cayde-6 in the Lost City.

Why should you unlock the “Endless Hunt”? With the “Endless Hunt”, even as a Warlock or Titan, you have the chance to fire with a Golden Gun and deal significant damage.

The German-speaking Destiny expert and content creator “Nexxoss Gaming” had already set his sights on the exotic sniper after an initial playtest. In the interview, he reveals which new exotics he particularly liked and his impressions of the new subclass: Destiny 2: We asked a Destiny expert what he thinks of the new subclass

In Diablo 4 you will now receive more loot, gold, and experience for 2 weeks – But the way there was chaotic

Diablo 4 celebrated its first anniversary on June 6. To celebrate, Blizzard has planned events that should give you more loot, free skins, and more experience. However, important information was already missing in advance – and then half of what everyone expected was absent.

This is what Blizzard has planned:

  • Diablo 4 will receive two events for its 1st birthday: the March of the Goblins and the Blessing of the Mother. The festivities start on June 6. Anyone logging in from then on will receive free skins.
  • The rewards are worth it: The March ensures that more treasure goblins spawn, even in duos and packs. The Blessing of the Mother increases experience according to Blizzard by +25% and received gold by +50% – however, both are stated as 35% in the game itself.
  • Actually, these effects could stack excellently and even multiply. However, only half of the events will be active at release.

Where does the chaos come from? Blizzard has already announced the birthday in two parts: Part 1 is the March of the Goblins, Part 2 is the Blessing of the Mother. Here, players have already speculated what this could mean.

Because there are start and end times, but only partially:

  • The March of the Goblins runs from June 6 to June 13.
  • Free skins are available from June 6 to June 12 in the shop.
  • You can claim the cosmetics until June 20.

So there is no known “end” to the celebrations. Additionally, no one has really known when exactly the blessing event will be active. It is supposed to last for 10 days, but the starting point is unclear. There are various speculations:

  • The Blessing of the Mother and the March of the Goblin start simultaneously on June 6 at 7:00 PM.
  • The Blessing starts only on June 14, just after the March – as “Part 2.”
  • Or the event runs from June 10 to June 20, as one can secure the rewards until then.

What does Blizzard say about it? Blizzard has not answered this question since the announcement of the event. Now we at least know: the events do not start simultaneously because the Blessing of the Mother is currently not active. And other issues are causing frustration.

Update June 6, 9 PM: Blizzard has now commented on the forum about the Blessing of the Mother. Originally, it was planned to go live with the event in a few days. After so much feedback has come in, the team has decided to activate the Blessing of the Mother today, June 6, at 10 PM. The event will also not last 10 days but until June 20.

Diablo 4: The trailer for the events for the 1st birthday of the action RPG

“That makes -1 sense”

Anyone logging into Diablo 4 will be greeted with a screen for the birthday event. Here there is a button that directly redirects you to the shop to collect the rewards. Just that there was initially nothing to collect.

Only about half an hour after the start of the event are there free cosmetics in the “Anniversary” section. Or more precisely: One, namely only the steed “The Nightmare.” The weapon skins apparently come later.

You will be offered another skin in the shop every day at 9 PM. From the 13th onwards, you will presumably be able to collect all rewards at once until June 20, as far as the information from the shop is correct.

There was more criticism regarding the missing Blessing of the Mother. Here it was stated on X: It is a huge oversight that the events do not run simultaneously. One could have achieved much more; now it only feels half-hearted. Additionally, the goblins’ loot apparently does not work properly. The developers are already working on a solution (via X.com).

However, worse is that the communication has gone so poorly. Community Manager Adam Fletcher explained on X only about an hour before the event release – whose start time was also not known – that information about the Blessing of the Mother would not be expected until next week.

For many users on X and Reddit, this is quite a letdown. Particularly because Diablo 4 has been able to impress many people again with the new Season 4, who were rather disappointed with the previous development: “Imagine if it had been like this since release” – Season 4 impresses players because they can just play

The first raid from WoW is now playable as a mobile version in Rumble, it is probably as tough as back then

Since June 5, the first raid in Warcraft Rumble is playable: the Molten Core. The raid and its iconic final boss Ragnaros are likely to be well remembered by any veteran of World of Warcraft. And even those who didn’t see him back then probably know at least the legends surrounding the raid.

What kind of raid is this?

What’s new in Rumble: You can enter the Molten Core since June 5 in Warcraft Rumble. The raid has 7 bosses in Rumble, including the well-known figures Lucifron, Garr, Baron Geddon, and of course Ragnaros. Shazzrah and Gehennas are present as duo bosses in the game, while Majordomo Executus is completely absent.

The update itself is free, but you need to meet some requirements:

  • Entry requires 90 seals.
  • The first wing is designed for levels 22-24.
  • The second wing is designed for levels 24-26.
  • The third wing is designed for levels 26-28.
  • For Ragnaros himself, your characters should be levels 28-30.

Instead of 40 players, as in the original version, you only need a friend. The Molten Core is a co-op raid that you can complete as a duo. However, the teammate must be in your guild.

If you want to check out the raid, you should hurry. The gates are open only from June 5 to June 12 at 19:59.

Warcraft Rumble: The Trailer for the 1st Raid Molten Core

“The dumbest thing they could think of”

The Molten Core itself has received mixed feedback in the community, judging by the comments on Reddit. There, it is mentioned that the battles are well executed and it is fun to fight through the levels.

At the same time, it is a proper challenge. You really have to put in some effort to defeat the bosses. On one hand, that’s good because it creates tension. On the other hand, even players who have been playing since launch are having trouble making progress:

Molten Core is much harder than Stormwind. I literally do not have the levels to accomplish this and I have been playing since launch with the Bowlight booster. Can’t say how much fun it is, I am completely outlevelled.

FishoD on Reddit

What bothers most people is that they need a co-player. There is a missing group search tool to find a partner – or simply a solo mode for the raid.

Many guilds are not active enough to find a co-op player at any time. Some players believe that the Molten Core actually makes them play less because they can’t even see the content. Meanwhile, the “big brother” World of Warcraft is working on precisely the opposite: In WoW: You can defeat the final boss in the first raid of The War Within solo

Diablo 4: From now on you will get more loot & free skins, soon more EXP and gold – These are the rewards

The birthday event for Diablo 4 starts on June 6th. It is divided into two parts: The Goblin March and the Blessing of the Mother. Both grant you hefty bonuses that you should definitely take advantage of if you want to level up or need loot and gold.

Update 7:30 PM: The Goblin event is live, and the first rewards are available. The Blessing of the Mother is missing. The anniversary is running quite chaotically.

What are these events?

  • From June 6th to 13th, the Goblin March takes place. The event has been live since 7:00 PM German time.
  • The second part of the birthday event, the Blessing of the Mother, is returning. This will last a full 10 days this time, but we do not yet know the start date. We have inquired with Blizzard, and a response is pending. According to Community Manager Adam Fletcher, more information will be available next week (via X.com).
  • Both events give you the opportunity to acquire loot and especially gold more easily and quickly. Gold is a bigger problem in Season 4 – so now is the perfect time to farm.

What rewards are there? If you log in between June 6th and 12th, you will receive free skins in the shop. You can claim them until June 20th. These include weapons, horse armor, and a mount. However, they are not yet available in the shop – despite being redirected.

During the Goblin March, the spawn rate of treasure goblins is increased, and they drop more loot than usual. They can also appear in pairs or whole packs. Additionally, there are more Shrines of Greed.

During the Blessing of the Mother, the experience points you receive according to Blizzard are increased by +25%, and the gold you receive by +50%. In the game itself, however, both are indicated as 35%. If your first character is already at level 100, now is the perfect time to level a second character or farm gold.

For the best gold boost, you should combine the events with our tips for quick gold farming in Diablo 4.

Diablo 4: The trailer for the events for the 1st birthday of the action RPG

Season 4 still excites players even 3 weeks later

The events are held to celebrate the first birthday of the game. Diablo 4 was released on June 6, 2023, and generated a lot of excitement at the time, which however turned into frustration after a few days.

The criticism back then: The game lacks endgame content, there is not enough to do. Diablo 4 becomes boring too quickly, and especially the items are simply not well designed. Too many affixes, too few improvements, and it is impossible to compare loot properly.

With Season 4, Blizzard has completely overhauled the game. The loot system has been improved and many contents have been adjusted, such as:

Overall, Season 4 is receiving an incredibly positive response and praise from everywhere. Players and experts alike are enthusiastic about the changes and some call it a “rescue” of the game. How well Season 4 is received is also reflected in the numbers. Since the release of the season, Diablo 4 has maintained a steady player count on Steam: Diablo 4 sets a record on Steam with Season 4, still has the same number of players 3 weeks later, earning praise

Wuthering Waves introduces 5-star character Yinlin, excitedly impressing fans: “Exactly what I expect”

In a new trailer, Wuthering Waves introduces its latest character, Yinlin. Fans are not only excited about her but also say that this is finally Kuro Games as they know it.

Which character is it about? Yinlin is the new 5-star character that you can obtain starting today, June 6, 2024, in Wuthering Waves through her banner in the game. We have already compiled more information about her banner and the materials needed to level her up.

Coinciding with her release, developer Kuro Games has now uploaded a trailer. It presents Yinlin as a character and convinces the players:

As the trailer shows, Yinlin does not shy away from hunting down the “bad guys.” After being dismissed from the public security office, she now seems to work more or less independently.

In the trailer, you can see her infiltrating enemy camps with various disguises to take them out with her puppet “Zapstring” and her electrical abilities. Essentially, she acts as an undercover heroine from Jinzhou. The developers have made an effort to overlay the designs of various NPCs onto her body, which is definitely a nice detail.

You also get a glimpse of her fighting style. Yinlin moves through groups of enemies with swift movements and skilled jumps and turns. With her puppet, she can attack multiple enemies from a certain distance, making her an interesting fighter for many situations.

What are the reactions? Even beforehand, many players were looking forward to the release of Yinlin, even though there hasn’t been much to see from her until now. With the new trailer, the excitement seems to be growing even more, judging by the comments (via YouTube).

One user describes the character introduction as divine. Another summarizes his opinion in a comment: “It’s really nice to see her ‘job,’ and the way she works, fights, and believes in things. All while being just downright tough. Also, this outfit is crazy. She is so beautiful.”

Players give a 10/10 rating after this trailer

“Yinlin is not afraid to get her hands dirty. 10/10,” rates another user in his comment. Indeed, many opinions can be found praising her appearance and overall presence. These opinions have already been present in the community before.

Besides her as a character, many are also excited about the music of the trailer and the good work of the voice actress for Yinlin.

The trailer seems to inspire hope among some fans as well. After several disappointments due to technical issues, character, and story decisions post-launch of Wuthering Waves, some players now seem to be looking forward with renewed hope.

“This is Kuro Games as I know it,” writes a user in his comment. Others also mention in their comments that this is finally exactly what they would expect from the developer studio. If this is the essence of Kuro Games, we could expect more trailers and characters like Yinlin in the future. There is also a new tough character in Genshin Impact: Genshin Impact: A trailer shows how tough 5-star character Clorinde is.

The Steam Next Fest promises dozens of great demos, but perhaps the best is already here

Next week, the Next Fest is starting on Steam with plenty of interesting demos, but one game promises to overshadow all the others already.

Which game is it? Tiny Glade is the first game from the indie developer Pounce Light and is announced for the third quarter of 2024 on Steam. However, you can already play a free demo on the platform right now.

The principle of Tiny Glade is essentially easy to explain: You build a small castle landscape in a relaxed manner and without any guidelines. There are no management challenges, no battles, and no time pressure. The focus here is on free building and enjoying what is created.

Tiny Glade lets you enjoy castle building in a relaxed way

Why is it already the best demo? The Steam Next Fest doesn’t start until next week, on June 10, 2024. At that time, you’ll have the opportunity to discover many new games and try out some demos. However, Tiny Glade could already be the game that overshadows all the other participating games, at least according to Tom Francis, the creator of Gunpoint, Heat Signature, and Tactical Breach Wizard on X.com.

In response, David Ortiz, COO of ICO Partners, commented: “Over 800,000 times on wishlists, no big deal.” In fact, such large numbers would be quite a big deal for a small indie game and definitely noteworthy.

It’s unclear where Ortiz gets these numbers from. However, since Tiny Glade is currently ranked 17th among the most wished-for games on Steam, the numbers might actually be very realistic.

What else will be at the Next Fest? As mentioned, you can already play a demo of Tiny Glade now. For the Next Fest, the developers have planned a livestream on Steam on June 11, 2024, at 6:00 PM. There, they will show you some gameplay. You’ll also have the chance to ask the developers direct questions. Recently, another game on Steam celebrated high numbers: German developers celebrate 500,000 wishlists on Steam after a Twitch streamer showed their game in his show.

Destiny 2: Servers down for Patch 8.0.0.2 – All patch notes and info

One day before the release of the new raid, Guardians must once again endure downtime. The outages you should be aware of in Destiny 2: The Final Shape and when the servers will be running today on June 6, 2024, are detailed here.

Update, 18:20: If you are stuck in the queue and cannot get into Destiny 2 due to error messages, you should restart your platform. That worked for us, and we are now in orbit.

The patch notes have been updated by us and can be found in English form at the end of our post. Have a nice evening!

What you need to know today: Today, Bungie is conducting a short downtime again to likely prepare everything for the upcoming raid “Edge of Redemption”. We will accompany the server downtime for you and provide you with all the necessary information and patch notes.

Start video
Destiny 2 shows the launch trailer for The Final Shape

Maintenance on June 6 – All times for server downtime

These times are important today: Bungie informs its players via x.com (formerly Twitter) about the exact downtime. The servers are planned to be unreachable for 2 hours and 15 minutes today.

This is the schedule for the maintenance:

  • At 2:30 PM, background maintenance will commence on all platforms.
  • At approximately 2:45 PM, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
  • At 5:00 PM, the shooter is expected to be back online and you can log in again. The downtime ends
What to consider during downtimes: As long as the background maintenance is running, there may be connection problems in the game from time to time. Additionally, there may occasionally be queues during login since Bungie only gradually opens access to the servers to avoid issues caused by excessive server load. Therefore, you might have to wait longer before you are back in the game.

Also, keep in mind that third-party applications as well as the official Companion app may also not be available correctly for a while, so you cannot use them.

What changes with the new update in The Final Shape

The following issues are known: Even in The Final Shape, there are many issues that players are complaining about. Bungie has noted some of them, but it is unknown which of these will be fixed (via bungie.net). However, the following bugs may be addressed:

  • PC players who have 3D audio enabled cannot hear any sound
  • The pop-up “Leaving for Final Shape” has the wrong key art
  • When prism hunters activate their new ultimate while swinging, they fall
  • The hunter aspect that enhances your Arcstrider melee does not work
  • The description of the hunter’s Arc Staff ultimate does not mention a blind effect after a three-combo or slam attack

Patch notes for the update on June 6 in Destiny 2

What is in the patch notes? A full overview of all fixed issues and improvements will only be available tonight or this afternoon after the update goes live.

We will update our article and provide you with the link to the patch notes. Because it is possible that the patch notes may be changed or corrected by Bungie afterwards.

These are currently all the information about today’s update. If there are unforeseen changes, we will, of course, keep you updated. So feel free to check back. Until then, we recommend this article about Destiny 2 on MeinMMO: Destiny 2: Why you should try the raid from “The Final Shape” even if you hate raids

Destiny 2: 6 things you should do to prepare for Day One in The Final Shape

The Day One Raid in Destiny 2: The Final Shape starts today, on June 7, 2024, for all players who own the DLC. Anyone interested must prepare for the challenging raid race. Therefore, we show you 6 things you should do before you dive into the contest mode of the “Rift of Redemption” raid.

Why do I need to prepare? As with every new raid, Bungie activates a contest mode for the first 48 hours. This contest mode will also be active in the new “Rift of Redemption” Raid from The Final Shape. The mode makes the raid tougher and more demanding. Enemies appear in higher numbers, become bullet sponges, and deal absurdly high damage.

For this reason, we have selected six things for you to complete so that you are prepared for the contest mode.

You are welcome to list additional points, tips, or things in the comments and exchange ideas with other guardians about them. With our little directory, you can jump to the respective points.

Build Strong Loadouts

Why are loadouts with builds important? In contest mode, it’s all about time. The faster you can switch your builds for each situation, the better your chances of bringing home the raid belt. It is important to be prepared for every situation.

With The Final Shape, new enemy and shield types have been introduced that could give you trouble. So make sure you have also unlocked the new subclass “Prismatic”.

Prepare Your Other Classes

What does that mean? Every team enters the raid with a selection of classes to provide a good balance of support, DPS, and crowd control. However, there could be encounters in contest mode that your current setup cannot handle. Therefore, it is important to switch to another class in case of emergency to provide more healing or buffs.

If you lack this flexibility, you may spend several minutes, if not hours, on an encounter, wasting unnecessary time.

Reach Power Level 1965

Why is power level 1965 so important? As in every Day One, Bungie states a necessary power level that players must reach to be raid-ready. For the “Rift of Redemption” raid, the required power level is 1965. If you haven’t reached this, you won’t be able to deal any damage to your opponents and will be taken out with a single shot. So make sure you bring the necessary power level.

Find the New Exotics from The Final Shape

Why are the new exotics important? New exotic items have one thing in common – they are either too weak or far too strong. So it doesn’t hurt to have the new exotics available for all classes to benefit from them in the raid. The new Warlock helmet “Speaker’s Sight” turns your grenades into healing turrets that you can distribute wildly.

The Titan chest piece “Dangerous Drive,” on the other hand, generates up to six seeking missiles and additionally increases the damage of other missiles you launch. You can also rely on your old exotics, but it doesn’t hurt to have alternatives on hand.

You are guaranteed to get one of the exotics after completing the legendary campaign, while the rest can be decoded by Rahool – provided you have leveled up with him.

Complete the Exotic Mission “Wild Card” and the Campaign

Why is this important? The exotic mission grants you the exotic sniper “Relentless Hunt,” while the campaign increases your power level. However, the real reason lies in the story.

Anyone who has followed Destiny for ten years certainly wants to know how the saga of light and darkness concludes. Therefore, it is important to understand the connections. For this reason, Bungie even advises completing these two things before approaching the raid.

Find an Alternative for the Well of Light

Why is an alternative for the Well important? The Well of Light was the ultimate ability that Warlocks have always brought into a raid. Even though the damage buff is inferior to the Titan’s Bubble, the Well provided far too powerful healing of your health and damage resistance. With “The Final Shape”, that has changed.

Bungie had to intervene after years of dominance and now the Well is just a shadow of its former self. It heals you less and offers worse resistance against bosses and normal enemies.

So it is important to find an alternative for boss fights where you can heal your mates and support them with buffs. The Titan looks like a good replacement. With his Void or Strand focus, he offers strong opportunities to buff or heal your team.

Those were all the important things we recommend before you tackle the Day One Raid from “The Final Shape”. Did you know that a new grenade launcher could rival the Withering Collector?

Fortnite: Twitch streamer shows how to instantly kill annoying enemies – requires no weapon, just an item

In the new season of Fortnite, players are almost only encountered in vehicles. A Twitch streamer has a brilliant and effective idea to deal with unwanted, enemy passengers in seconds. He only needs one item for that.

This is the problem with enemy passengers in Fortnite: Without a vehicle, it gets difficult to approach other motorized opponents. Many players take this as an opportunity to get into their opponents’ cars themselves.

Once the enemy is in your vehicle, it becomes annoying to get rid of them. In the worst-case scenario, they shoot at you or your car as a passenger, and you have to get out somewhere. That can be really frustrating.

This exactly happened to a Twitch streamer. But he stays calm and shows what happens to unwanted guests in his car.

Twitch streamer shows brilliant kill with Boogey Bomb

What kind of item is this? The Boogey Bomb is an item that was introduced in the first chapter of Fortnite and has long been a part of the game. Now it is making a comeback.

The Boogey Bomb is a ranged weapon and is used to incapacitate opponents. If it hits the opponent or if they are within the explosion radius, they start dancing and can only move slowly. Under the influence of the bomb, the affected player cannot jump, shoot, or perform any other actions.

Additionally, the bomb has the effect of pulling players out of vehicles, as the Twitch streamer demonstrates:

How does the streamer use the Boogey Bomb for his kill? In the video, you can see the streamer catapulting his car with a dimensional rift onto Loot Island. Not only is he in his car, but there is also an enemy player.

As he lands on the elevated Loot Island plateau, he drives towards the edge of the island. As the car rolls towards the abyss, he gets out and throws the Boogey Bomb at the rolling vehicle. This results in the opponent being beamed out of the vehicle and falling freely towards the abyss.

The fall damage takes care of the opponent upon impact.

The trick can obviously be performed at any other elevated location that provides enough fall height. Additionally, you can also use the Boogey Bomb to pull enemy players directly out of their own vehicles. A former big star of the scene would surely appreciate this.

3. Change: New system for loan cards in Ultimate Team

Until the end of Season 7 (July 18), you can receive new loan cards. These new cards are not usable for a certain number of matches, as is usually the case, but you receive them for a fixed period. The period is the same for all players around the world. Your loan cards will have a timer, and when it runs out, your loan card will no longer be available.

You will receive the first new loan card when you log in during the Path-to-Glory event in Ultimate Team. Then you will get a limited-time Path-to-Glory loan card.

4. Change: New cold celebration by shooting star Cole Palmer

You can now use the famous “I’m ice cold” celebration that Chelsea star Cole Palmer often performed after scoring this season.

At first, you can only perform the celebration with Palmer himself. However, in Ultimate Team, he is also part of the new Season Pass and can be unlocked by you at level 20.

5. Change: New special move – Double Touch Lane Change

This trick is a mix of the reverse elastico and the La Croqueta. After our first test attempts, the skill move could have the advantage of being explosively starting. Additionally, the change of direction does not seem as drastic as with the other two tricks.

The skill can be executed by all 4-star skillers as follows: L2 + Right Stick (90 degrees to the direction of movement) held down on PlayStation or LT + Right Stick (90 degrees to the direction of movement) held down on Xbox.

6. Change: New game faces for 27 players

Shortly after the launch of the Football Festival live event, a number of new player faces should also be added. This likely primarily concerns professionals from the Premier League. EA has already revealed 4 prominent examples. The most notable one can be seen here:

The perhaps best 6 in the world gets a new face: Rodri from Manchester City
  • The other players with new game faces are:
    • Botman
    • Eze
    • Porro

7. Change: Double XP for Clubs players

The coming weeks could also be rewarding for players who want to launch in Clubs mode online. In Clubs, you create your own Pro and found your own club or join an existing club. Online, you can then compete against real opponents with your friends or other players, climb up leagues, or win trophies.

For each completed match, you receive experience points that are now doubled, depending on your performance. With experience points, you reach new levels and can upgrade your Pro.

During the event, EA may still have surprises in store. We will keep you updated at MeinMMO. The new FIFA game is also eagerly awaited. However, EA will have nothing more to do with it. Another renowned developer for sports games will probably take over: Fans have been waiting for FIFA 25: Release is supposedly expected in 2024
