The beta of the next WoW expansion is live and many features can already be tried out. This includes the new tier sets that will be available in the first season of The War Within. However, the sets have a catch. This time they will be particularly boring. And that is intentional.

WoW: The War Within Beta Trailer – Shadows and Fury
What has been said? Blizzard has announced that the bonuses of the tier sets available in the first season of The War Within will be quite simple. This likely means that the damage or effect of certain abilities that are already part of the rotation for the respective specializations will be improved.
Why is Blizzard doing this? The reason behind the simpler tier set bonuses is that Blizzard wants to put a stronger focus on talent diversity and the choice of hero talents. Therefore, the tier sets should have as little influence on gameplay as possible and should not affect hero talents at all. Blizzard states in the WoW forum:
It is very important to us that these class sets do not significantly influence the selection of hero talents. We want our players to be able to choose the corresponding hero talents in the respective content that they prefer. As we move through The War Within, we will explore ways to increase the complexity of the class sets while still ensuring that this core goal is preserved.
Thus, it seems they want to avoid that tier sets have a big impact like in Dragonflight.
How was it in Dragonflight? In Dragonflight, there were some issues with the tier sets. Especially in the later seasons, the bonuses were very specific and often focused on individual talents. This often forced the classes and specializations into a very particular talent distribution.
In season 3, for example, shadow priests had to learn basically every talent for ‘Shadow Word: Death’ and choose all their abilities accordingly. This led to a very monotonous playstyle that allowed hardly any deviations.
Blizzard apparently wants to avoid such restrictions with ‘The War Within’ and place more focus on the hero talents. Therefore, tier sets, at least initially, have to take a step back. What do you think of this solution? Is it a good thing to promote the new hero talents? Or did you like the highly specialized tier sets?

This year there are a lot of great series and the next highlight has appeared on Netflix. Eric is a new thriller series featuring Benedict Cumberbatch that MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes has compared to series like True Detective.
What is Eric about? Vincent Anderson, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, is a puppeteer for a children’s show. However, he is quite an unpleasant colleague who resists change and often confronts his coworkers. One day, his son goes to school alone but never arrives, and the search for him begins.
Along with the father and mother, Detective Michael Ledroit, played by McKinley Belcher III, also has a significant focus. He tries to find the boy and unravel a police conspiracy.
Eric – Trailer for the thriller series with Benedict Cumberbatch
Great Performance by Cumberbatch
Right off the bat, I must commend Benedict Cumberbatch. He is a major highlight. The turmoil and despair he portrays through his alcoholism, the search for his son, and his job is truly captivating. I often thought of Matthew McConaughey in the first season of True Detective. The fact that Vincent has hallucinations of his son’s drawing of a monster keeps the profession of puppeteer prominently featured in the series.
Gaby Hoffmann as the boy’s mother works well, as she shows the other side of despair and does not sink into her own madness. I was particularly impressed by McKinley Belcher III as Detective Ledroit, as he often has a cold but professional presence that reveals personal backgrounds.
The beauty of Eric lies in its constellations. While one thinks they have solved the case in the first and second episodes, other events and backgrounds come to light that make the initially simple case significantly more complicated. I also felt reminded of True Detective there.
The series unfortunately never manages to create the palpable pressure you have in True Detective, but the actors, especially Cumberbatch, are really good.
The series also addresses corruption and homelessness. This can sometimes be too much, as one episode has multiple storylines, but it didn’t bother me. A focus solely on the characters would have been better, as the themes do not receive enough attention. Nevertheless, I can recommend the series to thriller fans who appreciate an atmosphere supported by strong performances. This Netflix series was also a highlight of the year: Netflix: The story of a man and his stalker shocks even Stephen King

Inventors from China are currently making waves on YouTube with an impressive gaming setup. Three fans of World of Tanks have gone to the trouble of simulating the operation of a real tank in their studio. With the level of detail and effort, the German influencer HandOfBlood has also commented.
What does the gaming setup look like? The setup essentially consists of three areas designed to mimic the inner workings of a real tank:
One player is responsible for the movement and steering of the tank
One player aims the cannon and fires the shots
One player handles the reloading of ammunition
In the video, you can see how the individual areas interact:
https://youtu.be/4zKNCLrxZH8?feature=shared
How does the setup of the replica tank work? The control of the tank is handled by the player on the right. He controls the tank with a steering wheel. Whether he moves the tank with a foot pedal is not discernible in the video.
The player in the middle is responsible for reloading the cannon. In a device modeled after a cannon barrel, ammunition is consumed with each shot fired. The replenishable ammunition is represented by plastic bottles. As a special highlight, each shot results in smoke coming from the barrel.
The third player on the far left is responsible for aiming and firing. There are two rotating structures available for this purpose. One is for tilting the cannon left and right, while the other determines the launch angle (up or down). The shot is fired by pressing a large red button.
Also included in the complete setup is a pair of binoculars, which allows the guys to target distant areas as well.

HandOfBlood admits defeat, finds it just brilliant
The influencer and streamer Max Knabe, known as HandOfBlood, has made a name for himself in the past with elaborate productions. For one game, he even recorded footage as Gollum.
Additionally, HandOfBlood has also tried his hand as a tank driver in World of Tanks. He should thus be able to assess how much work goes into such a project. You can watch his opinion on the gaming setup and his memories of trying to build his own tank in the short clip:

What does HandOfBlood say about the gaming setup? The clip begins with a tribute to the performance of the guys from China. He rates the gaming setup as “over the top” and claims he “cannot hold a candle to” the three inventors.
HandOfBlood is in awe at the sight of the setup. He literally drops his jaw when he observes the operation of the gaming tank. What he sees is simply brilliant.
Afterward, HandOfBlood refers to his own attempt to build a moving tank. The influencer connected the cannon with a mouse tracker in his replica so that the actions in the tank could also be transmitted to the monitor. Unlike the setup of the three guys, his tank replica could also move. Just recently, other inventors attempted to recreate not a vehicle, but the suit from a famous franchise: The desert suits from Dune sound too good not to work – fans built one and were surprised

On Steam, a new action RPG is coming that sends you into a dark world. If you love Bloodborne and cats, you shouldn’t miss this game.
Which game is it? Kristala is a new action RPG that will launch today, on June 6, 2024, on Steam. For now, the game will start in Early Access there. A release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch is also planned.

Kristala mixes a dark fantasy world with fighting cats
What can you expect? Kristala promises you challenging battles with elegant parkour elements and a detailed story, as mentioned in the official description on Steam. You can check out what it looks like in the trailer.
The dark fantasy setting and gameplay might remind you of games like Bloodborne or other Souls games. However, here you don’t take on the role of a human hunter but fight your way through enemies as a humanoid cat.
If you’re wondering the important question right now: Yes, you can customize and adapt your cat character. As the trailer suggests, you can also dress your fighter in different outfits and equip them with various weapons.
The gameplay offers you different features to face the promised, challenging battles:
You can dodge enemy attacks with swift movements and rolls. You can also avoid damage from your enemies by blocking.
You can combine light and heavy attacks in combat with special weapon abilities.

With a level-up, you unlock new cat-like skills.
In the dark and magical world of Kristala, you are to face various challenges with your unique abilities, while new paths in already explored areas will also open up as the game progresses.
What are the reactions? The reactions in the comments (via YouTube) are relatively clear: A game with fighting cats seems to excite people. One user seems to express their excitement in a way that is hard to put into “human” words, writing: “I am so excited; I keep having to meow.”
Another user writes that the game looks really great, but that they were already won over at “cat.” However, not only cat lovers seem to be looking forward to the launch of Kristala.

Dark and Darker was removed from Steam due to a lawsuit; now the game is free to play, but only in a very limited version.
What kind of game is Dark and Darker?
Dark and Darker is a PvEvP dungeon crawler set in a medieval fantasy environment.
You explore the dungeon alone or with friends. Different classes are available to you. Each class has unique abilities that help you in combat against the dangers of the dungeon.
The dungeons consist of various dungeons and catacombs that contain valuable treasures for you to grab.
While filling your pockets, you must watch out for monsters, hostile players, and traps that want to eliminate you. You only receive your loot if you manage to escape from the map.
According to a South Korean magazine, Nexon accuses the developers of Dark and Darker of claiming that the founder of Ironmace worked at Nexon in the past and stole the idea and parts of the assets and code after leaving the company (via n.news.naver.com).

Dark and Darker: Gameplay Teaser
Dark and Darker is suddenly free
What’s the catch? During the OTK Games Expo, it was announced that Dark and Darker can now be played for free by everyone – and even back on Steam. However, there are several restrictions for free accounts.
Free players cannot play the full game. They receive a limited version of the dungeon crawler. While they have access to the normal dungeons, dungeons with a higher difficulty level are not included. Additionally, free accounts cannot trade and can only create one character.
However, if you enjoy the game, you can purchase a full version at any time, which gives you access to all existing content. The progress made up to that point will also be retained.
Are there any other changes? With the Free2Play update, the game is entering a new season, set to begin in early June. According to the patch notes (via DarkandDarker.com), the game will offer less hopeless situations for newcomers coming in through the free version and be a bit more “forgiving”.
There will also be balance changes to items and classes, as well as the removal of “junk” and unnamed unique items with the new update.
To make the game a bit more beginner-friendly, all classes have received a slight buff to their base health points, which is intended to slightly increase the survival chances for new players.
ARK: Survival Ascended has once again managed to upset the community. This time, a fire-breathing cat is to blame.
What’s going on with ARK? Some players are dissatisfied with the latest development in ARK: Survival Ascended. The dinosaur adventure recently released the revamped version of the map “The Center.”
With the map, there was also a new creature, the Pyromaniac. This is a kind of burning feline predator that can now be tamed on The Center – exclusively on The Center.
Start video
ARK: Survival Ascended is revealed for the first time in the trailer
Why are the players angry? The release of the new Pyromaniac has a catch: You only get the creature if you buy it for 4.99 euros. For non-payers, the feline predator cannot be tamed, but still roams around the map.
The fact that you have to pay for the Pyromaniac does not sit well with some players. Added to that are accusations of P2W, as the Pyromaniac is certainly capable of fighting.
The fire cat can spit fire like a flamethrower, is a fast mount that can jump far, and has the ability to shrink on command and transform into a shoulder pet. As a shoulder pet, the Pyromaniac can still spit fire and flambé your opponents.
What exactly are the players saying? Some players fear that after the Pyromaniac, many more creatures will appear that need to be purchased, and there could be a whole range of dinos on new maps that only paying players get.
Other players write that the Pyromaniac is a P2W reskin of the Shadowmane. It is indeed strong, but it even has the same animations. The criticism is that 5 euros is neither a fair price nor a cool move for this.
Here are some community voices:
Hashtaffer4Life via x.com: “It really takes away my motivation to play when we have so many things behind a paywall.”
Pokemastercj1 via Reddit: “If it were free, I wouldn’t mind. 5 dollars for something that reuses a lot of animations is disgusting.”
wolfgangpuxx via x.com: “Oh great, another pay-to-win creature.”
Kjell_Stigandr via x.com: “Fire cat sounds cool, but in the end, it’s just a reskin and slightly adjusted Shadowmane? Come on, you can do better! And I agree, you need to make money somehow, but do it with things that don’t affect gameplay, like skins for example.”
There are also players who understand the approach of Studio Wildcard. Somehow the money has to flow, and ARK 2 is still on the agenda. However, many believe that skins, a Battle Pass, or something similar would be better than P2W creatures.

Season 4 of Diablo 4 seems to be exciting many players. On Steam, the ARPG has maintained its numbers for the last three weeks and even recorded an increase. The community is now discussing possible reasons for this.
The new season apparently attracts many (new) players. On Steam, Diablo 4 has not only maintained its player count since May 14 – there was even an increase. The community is currently discussing on Reddit what could be the reason for this.

Diablo 4: The developers explain the new item system and the new endgame dungeon
What do the numbers on Steam look like? At the season start on May 14, Diablo 4 had almost 15,000 players on Steam (source: steamdb). On May 15, the number rose to over 24,000. By May 19, there were even over 29,000 players, a record for the game on Steam.
What’s particularly interesting is that the numbers have scarcely dropped since release. After a slight dip, on June 5, it stands again at nearly 30,000 players, as you can see from the graph:
At the start of Season 4, a significant increase is evident, which can be maintained. Source: steamdb
In comparison, the biggest competitors on Steam, Path of Exile and Last Epoch, are struggling with significantly greater losses:
It should be noted that Diablo 4 only launched on Steam long after its release. The main platforms are Battle.net for PC and consoles, namely PS4, PS5, and Xbox. The vast majority of players are engaged here.
Although there are no official figures, the tracking website Activeplayer.io reports over one million daily peak players and over four million active users per month.
New content, good grind, and 50% discount
How does the community explain this?On Reddit, the user “Deidarac5” posted a similar graph on June 3 showing the development of player numbers. He notes that Diablo 4 still reaches “the same numbers” three weeks into Season 4. The post has over 1,300 upvotes and more than 600 comments.
In the comments, the community discusses possible reasons for the constant player numbers, which apparently even experienced an increase:
The top comment with over 770 upvotes comes from “offredditappisbad”. He writes on Reddit: “It has a good grind, which speaks for that. I reached level 100 and immediately started a new character.”
“ehxy” writes on Reddit: “It’s really fun to play to 100 now. I didn’t spend 80% of my time looking for loot.”
“xsvennnn” thinks on Reddit: “They’re making steps in the right direction. However, they should continue to provide good updates if they want a chance not to be swept under the rug when Path of Exile 2 comes out.”
“Dr_Zevil665” writes on Reddit: “The game is definitely fun now. There’s so much more to do, and the endgame loop is so much more satisfying than ever. This is a great foundation. I hope Blizz keeps this up in the future.”
Another user notes on Reddit: “The big problem that I see with this data is that the number of players on Steam is so low that it can easily be influenced by new sales. Do you see the big increase at the end? Those are new players coming in because of the big sale. […] .”
The new features, the revamped endgame, and also the current sale seem to be reasons for the currently stable player base, but also for the increase in numbers on Steam.
An increase in numbers is also possible in the coming days because: Diablo 4 is celebrating its birthday. For the one-year anniversary, an event will start in the game on June 6, where you will receive various bonuses. Perfect for anyone wanting to bring their current character to level 100 or level up a new one.

Many players discover Fallout 4 thanks to the Fallout series. Bethesda released a total of seven expansions after the launch, including the story add-on Far Harbor. However, in this DLC, there is a particular puzzle that players would like to skip.
Why is Fallout 4 so popular again?
Thanks to the Fallout series, many players got a first glimpse into the franchise. This led to a massive increase in players: the numbers rose by 242%, with a total of up to 167,388 players on Steam.
In doing so, players not only rediscover the main game but also the DLCs (or experience them for the first time). Some of the expansions pushed the story forward, including the Far Harbor DLC, which was released in 2016.

Players are frustrated with “the worst level design”
Which puzzle is it? Players are complaining about a puzzle related to DiMA’s memory. In “Blessing of Forgetfulness,” we must gather DiMA’s memories in a virtual world.
In doing so, we have to create a path for the bug helpers so they can reach the yellow light pillar and bring the memories back to the starting point of a sequence. Blocks can be moved to lead the bugs over the chasms.

Why are many players in despair about it? The puzzle seems confusing to many players due to the level design. Unlike the otherwise realistic and post-apocalyptic setting, the block world feels monotonous. As a result, many players lose their sense of direction.
Some users have only been able to solve the puzzle because they watched playthroughs on YouTube. Some players even say they spent more time in DiMA’s memory than in the rest of the DLC, in marathon mode in Civilization 6, or in some puzzles in Tomb Raider.
Furthermore, Fallout 4 is a Bethesda game. So it’s normal for some passages to not work due to bugs. As a result, some players may find themselves having to reload their save and go through sections again.
Many users write that they actually have a lot of fun with the DLC. However, this puzzle completely robs the enjoyment of the game. They let their frustration out (via reddit):
pickle_daddy76: That’s why I use a mod that makes this part of the level completely unnecessary.
urbandeadthrowaway2: It’s fun once, just once. Like the intro of the game.
Interesting_Mix083: I hate this part of the quest. I avoid it as much as I can.

There are many dungeons in Diablo 4, but not all of them are easy to access. You will learn where to find the dungeon “Flooded Depths” here.
In Diablo 4, there are dungeons that are hidden behind strongholds and therefore do not initially appear on your map. You may notice this when you want to activate nightmare dungeons through their seals, and the message “You do not have access yet” appears.
One of them is the dungeon “Flooded Depths”. We summarize which stronghold you need to complete and how to find the dungeon afterward.
By conquering strongholds, you collect XP – so don’t forget to activate an elixir. With a quest, you can even use two elixirs and stack the bonuses.
Start video
Diablo 4: Do you forget to use your elixirs? This trick helps you.
How to find the Flooded Depths
Where can I find the Flooded Depths? The dungeon “Flooded Depths” is located in the far north in the area “Scosglen”, north of Cerrigar. You reach the area by walking/riding north from the waypoint “Marowen”.
In the area, you will find the corresponding stronghold “Glimmer of Hope”, which you must occupy. Once you have conquered the stronghold, the dungeon “Flooded Depths” will appear in the area.
The dungeon “Flooded Depths” is located at the stronghold “Glimmer of Hope”.After you conquer the stronghold, the dungeon “Flooded Depths” appears.
How do I conquer the stronghold? Glimmer of Hope is located with its lighthouse on the coast of Scosglen. When you enter the area, your character wonders why the lighthouse’s beacon is not lit. You will encounter some tide changers and deckhands there.
To find a way into the lighthouse, you first need to activate the winches and, because one of them is broken, search for a missing part. Inside the lighthouse, you will face the tide witch Ne’Gana. Once you have defeated her, continue up and activate the flame of the Glimmer of Hope. Then, activate the “Shrine of the Wanderer” to conquer the stronghold.
What is the benefit of all this? Strongholds are reset with each season, meaning you can conquer them repeatedly. By conquering a stronghold, you often gain new waypoints that you can fast travel to and also receive 100 renown points towards your regional progress.
In general, it is worth completing the regional progress because: you receive important bonuses for every new character (in the same mode). Dungeons also earn you renown points. Additionally, you level up your glyphs in the nightmare versions of the dungeons, which provide you with certain bonuses. Here you can learn how to farm and level glyphs most effectively.

In spring 2023, Twitch banned the streamer “Real_Bazzi” aka “Bazzi”. The ban was supposed to be permanent, but a year and a half later he is back – thanks to support.
Which streamer is it about? Bazzi is a German streamer who built his career with roleplay in GTA 5. However, in 2023 he suddenly started showing gambling – Twitch brought down the ban hammer:
Bazzi grew his Twitch channel from an average of 20 viewers to over 34,000 in just a few months in 2021.
The streamer benefited from the hype surrounding roleplay in GTA 5 and his brilliant idea: with his character “Marcel Heris” he parodied one of the biggest German streamers, MontanaBlack – real name Marcel Eris.
However, on February 20, 2023, Bazzi suddenly started with casino streams on Twitch, despite previously stating that gambling addiction had already destroyed his life once. After just about a week, the streaming platform banned him – seemingly permanently.
In June 2024, however, Bazzi celebrated his return to Twitch.
The gambling category slots was huge on Twitch for a while. Even the then biggest streamer xQc showed the so-called “casino streams”:

Why is the streamer allowed to return? Bazzi’s surprising return seems to be thanks to a court ruling. His casino buddy Scurrows celebrated the comeback on X, formerly Twitter: Bazzi must be glad about attorney Nik Sarafi, says Scurrows.
How is he doing so far? Bazzi held his comeback stream on June 3, 2024, with an average of 3,772 viewers – that is not a bad result, considering how long the streamer had disappeared from the scene.
In fact, Bazzi even had more viewers than before the ban with his last streams without gambling (via SullyGnome). However, it seems Bazzi is not fully trusting in peace yet, as he frequently jokes about when the next ban will come in his streams.
In the comeback stream, an old acquaintance also dropped by: MontanaBlack donated 100 subs, prompting Bazzi to shed a few tears of joy:

How can you join the beta? There are two ways to participate in the beta. First, you can classicly apply for beta access. To do this, go to the official Blizzard website, log in with your Battle.net account, and indicate that you are interested in the beta. With a bit of luck, you will be invited to the beta in the coming weeks.
You will have guaranteed access if you pre-order the more expensive “Epic Edition” of The War Within. In that case, you will get direct access to the beta and can start playing immediately.
How do you download the beta client of The War Within? It’s simple and works the same as with other WoW versions.
Simply open your Battle.net client and select the entry for World of Warcraft.
On the bottom left, you can expand a tab with various WoW versions under “Game Version & Account”.
Under “In Development,” multiple entries will appear. If you are in the beta, you will see “The War Within Beta” listed there. Select this entry.
You will then need to click on “Install” or “Update” to start the installation.
After that, you can participate in the beta via the “Play” menu item.

How do I know if I am in the beta? If you receive an invitation to the beta, you will generally be informed via email. However, you don’t need to click on any links. A look into the Battle.net launcher always provides certainty. If you find the entry for the beta of The War Within there, you can participate. If you want more information about The War Within, we have all the details here.
Will you jump into the beta of The War Within immediately? Or would you rather wait and avoid as many spoilers as possible?

It’s nothing unusual for streamers to face the toughest bosses in hardcore mode of Diablo 4. However, a PC company recently made a tough bet with one of them – and the entire community helped the streamer.
On May 31, the Diablo expert and Twitch streamer DarthMicrotransaction (short: DM) reported on YouTube that his sponsor Starforge had made a bet with him. If DM can defeat the boss Uber Lilith under certain conditions, he can raffle off a “really good PC” to his community. DM accepted the bet and prepared for days.
Start video
Diablo 4 Season 4 “Loot Reborn” in the gameplay trailer
“Everyone wants this free PC”
What were the conditions? DM must defeat Uber Lilith in hardcore mode. He is not allowed to use any “assists,” such as a scroll that protects him from impending death by teleporting him away. Specifically, this means:
DM must play in hardcore mode until Lilith dies – or his player character
Without a scroll of escape
He must defeat her on the first attempt
DM summarizes the conditions in the YouTube video and notes: “That’s probably the point where [the Starforge employee] might not realize it, but he messed up.” Because many witnessed the bet in the stream, according to DM “about a thousand people.” Everyone wanted to win this PC and the reactions were “quite funny.”
How did his community react? On his Discord server, various players immediately posted “Immortal Builds” for the Sorceress, including video clips. The general tone was, according to DM: “We can do it, guys.”
Individual players offered to help him test the builds against Uber Lilith in softcore mode before he tried it in hardcore mode. It was “super funny,” as everyone immediately banded together. In the livestream, DM then prepared for the bet.
How did DM prepare? He created a “clone” of his Sorceress in softcore mode to test the builds. He leveled the character to level 100, farmed the right gear, and went to the “Echo of Lilith.” His plan was: If he can defeat her multiple times, he would switch to hardcore mode and face the bet.
The video begins with the caption: “Starforge PC made a mistake.” There you can see his preparation and the final fight against Uber Lilith in hardcore mode starting at 10:52 minutes:

How did the bet go? On June 3, the “final day” arrived and DM faced Uber Lilith in hardcore mode. For skills, he equipped Firebolt, Flame Shield, and Firewall. In the video, you can see the community cheering the streamer in the chat with “Let’s Go!” messages. Starforge interjected: “And a bug is coming soon.”
According to the timer, DM defeated Uber Lilith after almost 34 minutes. He then said: “So Starforge, now that I’ve destroyed you in a competition, what’s next?” Then he turned to his community: “We should be able to take something else from them.”
During the fight, DM joked that the streamers wudijo and Raxxanterax were probably leveling their characters to level 100 by the time he defeated Lilith. While they weren’t quite that fast, the two streamers, along with two others, actually reached max level in hardcore mode within four hours. And they also faced Uber Lilith. Here you can find out how that turned out.

Server issues are to be expected at such launches, but with such an important DLC, they must be particularly frustrating. After all, this is supposed to deliver the epic finale that has been in the works for 10 years.
Despite all the problems, Destiny 2 reached an impressive 220,000 concurrent players on Steam, minutes before the servers were even online. The numbers climbed in the following hours as more and more Guardians got into the game.
However, the next problems arose: Error messages, especially CURRANT errors, prevented players from traveling in-game or starting or completing missions. Particularly tricky: Those who get kicked from a mission due to a CURRANT error might miss important story cutscenes.
These problems likely contributed to Destiny 2 narrowly missing a new player record at launch: Just before the errors started to pile up, over 314,000 players were simultaneously in-game on Steam – the most since the release of Lightfall. In the end, however, the new record was missed by almost 2,000 players.
While it is possible that Destiny 2 may still break the record by the weekend if everything works, the difficulties have nonetheless dampened the hype around the important expansion for now – as evidenced by the first reviews.
Players mock: The Final Shame
What do the reviews look like? On Steam, The Final Shape currently holds 43% positive reviews from just over 1,300 ratings, categorized as “Mixed” (as of June 5, 6:15 PM). The main game also felt the frustration of players: there were only 211 positive reviews and 300 negative ones on June 5.
More negative than positive reviews in one day is rather unusual for Destiny (via Steam)
In the reviews, many players vent their frustration. Steam user 3than quips:
The best 40 bucks I’ve ever spent and the best two hours of my life… My favorite part was when Cayde said: “Destiny 2 servers are not available.”
Another player cynically praises the “loading screen simulator” as a pre-order bonus for 50 euros. There are also numerous more or less creative puns surrounding the name of the DLC.
However, other players urge to give The Final Shape a chance: They praise the expansion and argue that server issues at launch are just normal, and one shouldn’t immediately write a negative review.
The following aspects are particularly praised:
The story
The voice acting
The new weapons
So it might be worth waiting a bit longer for the final rating. Given the relatively low number of reviews compared to the number of players, it also seems that most veteran Destiny players are doing just that. The overall rating could change significantly in the coming days.
The characters from Dragon Ball fight either with full body effort or energy attacks. But what would it look like if Son-Goku and the others were equipped with weapons? A YouTuber came up with a crazy thought experiment and created images with the help of an AI, in which the Saiyans become operators in Call of Duty.
What do the characters look like? The YouTuber created a total of 20 different images with the AI. In them, we see the familiar characters from Dragon Ball, whose design comes from mangaka Akira Toriyama.
But instead of their usual tracksuits, the Dragon Ball characters wear chest armor and submachine guns. Many characters have the lettering “Call of Duty” on their equipment. Even Piccolo and Vegeta are depicted as CoD operators. At the end of the video, some characters even appear as Super Saiyans.
Here you can view the 20 different images:

Dragon Ball: Crossover with Call of Duty fits perfectly
Does the crossover fit? Although Son-Goku and Co. mainly throw around with melee attacks and KI attacks, the military gear suits them incredibly well. The characters look as if they have spent years doing nothing but fighting with weapons, given their physique and expressions.
The images prove that Toriyama’s characters would be great as operators for Call of Duty. They would fit perfectly in a crossover with CoD, where the characters are available as skins.
Shooter competitors like Fortnite have already proven with crossovers with Dragon Ball and Naruto how well anime characters would work in a shooter. In Fortnite, it fits particularly well due to the comic look, but we can also imagine the warriors in Call of Duty.
Is such a crossover likely? So far, there have been many operators in Call of Duty who are more based on “real figures”. These include rappers like Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dogg or well-known soccer players like Neymar. Anime characters have so far left fans waiting in vain. But that could change in the future. Call of Duty seems to be opening up to the anime sector. The title has now announced a collaboration with Gundam, one of the biggest animes ever: Call of Duty is now collaborating with one of the biggest animes – players say: They come back for this

The Legend of Zelda is celebrating its 38th anniversary this year. A modder is modernizing it with Unreal Engine 5 in the form of a remake. New gameplay from it excites with unmistakable charm and stylistic confidence.
Which Zelda title is the modder recreating? The YouTuber Lloyd Empty has been working on a remake of the very first installment in the series: The Legend of Zelda for several years now. The game is the originator of the legend that began on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
What distinguishes the Zelda series from the crowd? What started in 1986 with The Legend of Zelda has expanded to over 20 main games and numerous smaller spin-offs to this day.
The latest installment is Tears of the Kingdom (TotK) for the Nintendo Switch. Its predecessor, Breath of the Wild, is the best-selling, with around 29 million copies sold. TotK follows closely with nearly 20 million. In 2018, The Legend of Zelda as a series was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame, as noted on the website of the initiative founded in 1996.
If you enjoy the Zelda series and also celebrate Stardew Valley, you should take a look at Kingsgrave; we have a trailer for you here:

A Remake Following in Nintendo’s Footsteps
What can be seen? In his latest gameplay video, Lloyd Empty shows several minutes of classic Zelda gameplay, including the overworld, a dungeon, a conversation, battles, and more.
What does the graphic style look like? In terms of visuals, Lloyd Empty’s work is comparable to the 2019 Switch remake of Link’s Awakening. The modder explicitly refers to this work by Nintendo as the main source of inspiration.

Is the Zelda remake available for free download? No, there is no way to play the current version in UE5 yourself.
Will it ever be released? Here, the best answer that can be given is a maybe. Below the video, he names his goal for this project as practicing creating a Zelda-like game in Unreal Engine 5.
What does the community think? Lloyd Empty’s creation excites the fans. Many praise the style and atmosphere in over 1500 comments under the YouTube video, with many feeling transported back to their youth. The longing for another classic 2D Zelda is palpable in the comments under the video – but unfortunately, so is the fear of Nintendo. The legal department of the Japanese gaming giant is known to be a modder’s nightmare.
In this regard, the user Dr.Frogerston seemingly sums it up for many, as nearly 3000 upvotes suggest:
[I’ll watch the video] before Nintendo shuts the project down.
And matt92hun agrees wholeheartedly: Yes, it looks too good for Nintendo to just leave it alone.
On Lloyd Empty’s YouTube channel, you can also find some other gameplay clips from the fan remake, some of which are significantly older but still worth watching today.
The games in the Zelda series can indeed be very time-consuming. If someone really wants to see everything in them, he or she may have to invest hundreds of hours. All side quests, collectible items, and other activities go far beyond the usual playtime for a run. A fan of the latest installment, Tears of the Kingdom, however, experienced some disappointments on the way to 100 percent. He was ultimately frustrated when he discovered that his save file was still functioning.

Gold Road, the new chapter of Elder Scrolls Online, takes you to a region of Tamriel that you may already know from Oblivion. The return to familiar places not only awakens nostalgic memories, many players are also excited about the attention to detail of the time travel.
What does Gold Road do really well? The new chapter of Elder Scrolls Online sends your hero to the Westgroves since June 3, 2024, a zone that fans of the franchise could already explore in parts in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion – only that there are nearly 800 years between the two games.
The new chapter, on the other hand, takes you to the Gold Road and to Skingrad, another imperial city known for its wine and the nearby castle. And just like in Blackwood, the developers manage once again to successfully transform the iconic locations into a modern guise while conveying a sense of “familiar yet distinctly different.”
The launch trailer of Elder Scrolls Online – Gold Road:

What does the community praise in detail? In several threads and posts on Reddit, many players specifically praise how well the developers at Zenimax have managed to bring the city of Skingrad to life in Elder Scrolls Online.
Nayrael writes (via Reddit): “Yes, I think this is Zenimax Online Studios’ best work so far regarding ‘nostalgic cities’. It really looks like an older version, not just because some parts have not been built yet, but also because it feels … well, it feels a little more early medieval than the TES4 version.”
oh_ataraxia raves (via Reddit): “I was really happy just walking around … the small alleys, the clutter, the decorations, everything looks great.”
championoffandango makes a comparison (via Reddit): “I love it and it is a much more realistic representation than what they did with Solitude. Cities constantly change and shift, even if their core remains the same. Having a city that remains unchanged for nine hundred years is kind of ridiculous.”
The images from Reddit user Thorolhugil underscore how closely the developers of ESO have stuck to the model from Oblivion:

In a post under the images, Thorolhugil added many details that stood out, such as the fact that the northern area of the city has not yet been developed in ESO. There is still farmland in Gold Road. However, some low fortifications already indicate the high defensive wall that protects the north side of the city in Oblivion.
You can find a specific image comparison between Oblivion and Gold Road below. In the images, you see the chapel that stands in the center of the city and has successfully withstood wind, weather, and conflicts over the centuries.

How is Gold Road being received otherwise so far? The new chapter of the MMORPG had quite a difficult start. Even before the launch, visitors from the public test server were frustrated that the Westgroves would be smaller compared to regions of other chapters .
Even more serious, however, is the feedback so far about the new system of scriptwriting, which allows you to individually adapt skills from various skill lines to your own needs. There are a total of eleven new skills, and more than 4,000 combination possibilities are claimed to be feasible.
However, since only the Tamriel heroes who possess Gold Road have access to the new skills, the accusation of Pay2Win arises. At least if the new skills turn out to be the clear best choice for PvP.
In addition, the grind to earn the skills with all customization options across multiple active characters is very time-consuming. It certainly doesn’t help that the quality of the quests related to scriptwriting is also criticized.

With the Quantum 360P, JBL has introduced an affordable entry-level headset for under 100 euros. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann has tried out the gaming headset and reveals how it performs in the test.
With the JBL Quantum 360P, there’s a new, lightweight gaming headset available for less than 100 euros. The headset emphasizes broad compatibility with multiple platforms (PC, PlayStation and mobile) and aims to impress with good sound and surround capabilities.
However, JBL is not alone in this idea. In the 100-euro range, there are several models from different manufacturers. And in my opinion, this is also the biggest problem for the JBL headset.
I have a fondness for hardware and tech and now own over 20 gaming mice, along with several keyboards and controllers. For MeinMMO, I have been testing hardware for our readers since 2019. Besides PC and the major consoles, I now also game on the Steam Deck.
The device in question is a review unit provided to us by the manufacturer for testing.

Design and Build
What is included in the package? The gaming headset comes with basic equipment. A charging cable, a detachable microphone, and a USB dongle for wireless connection are included.
Build of the headset: The design of the 360P is heavily based on Sony’s PlayStation 5: The headband and ear cups are in white, black and blue. If you are an aesthetics fan or looking for a headset that closely resembles the PS5, similar to the official PS5 headset (review), then you will get exactly what you expect.
However, the colors are not all successful. For instance, the symbols on the buttons of the headset, such as for powering on or muting, are also in white and therefore hardly visible.
The ear cups can rotate but are not adjustable, and there is no headband or stretchy component for the head.
The symbols on the headset are hardly recognizable. Not surprising, as white on white is simply not visible.
Processing
The headset seems almost cheaply made and does not give a truly valuable impression to me. The entire model is made entirely of plastic, with no metal reinforcements or other high-quality materials. Due to the abundance of plastic, the headset remains very stiff overall and lacks flexibility. How this will hold up in the long term during an extended test, I cannot say after about 4 weeks of testing.
At least the plastic has one advantage: The gaming headset is very lightweight due to the plastic. The model does not weigh more than 254 grams. More on this below.
Software
The headset can be configured with the Quantum Engine. The roughly 250 megabyte software can be installed on Windows with a few clicks, and the headset is subsequently ready for use quickly. Driver updates are then managed through the Quantum Engine.
The software is simple and understated. Through the equalizer settings, various profiles for music, games, or other areas can be created. Several profiles can also be saved within the software. This is straightforward and intuitive, and the software consistently performs well in tests.
Unremarkable, but intuitive and clear. The software can score points.
However, the surround sound promoted by JBL does not convince me in the test: This can be activated in the software, but it sounds very artificial and unnatural.
Comfort, Weight and Battery Life
What does my head look like? My head circumference is about 58 cm, so I have a rather smaller head. Generally, the headset fits well on the head. The ergonomic options are overall very limited: The ear cups only move horizontally and not diagonally, there is no headband, and the body of the headset is overall very rigid.
On my small head, it is usually comfortable, and as a glasses wearer, I have no difficulties. However, I can imagine that people with larger heads might have problems. Already with my test head (see pictures), the maximum of the headset was reached.
Weight: At 254 grams, the Quantum 360p is not a very heavy headset and sits well on the head.
Battery Life: The manufacturer states the battery life between 22 (wireless) and 26 hours (Bluetooth). In general, I have no trouble getting through two and a half to 3 days with the device – depending on how intensively I use it. Thus, the JBL Quantum 360P is in the midfield of the competition and approximately on the level of a SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7, which offers a few more hours (about 30 hours).
Ergonomically, the Quantum 360P is good, but for large heads like in the picture, it gets tight.
Sound
In terms of sound, you can tell the headset is a budget model. The sound is particularly bass-heavy and at times overwhelms the rest of the sound. It is worth making some fine adjustments in the equalizer to reduce the bass a bit. Otherwise, you will hear a lot of bass and few other details.
In my opinion, this is the most frustrating problem with the JBL 360P: You essentially get really good sound for the money, but you have to make several adjustments before the sound truly fits the game or situation. If you don’t want to bother with that, a lot of potential is lost that the headset could theoretically offer.
At least: Locating footsteps or enemies usually works well, which is a strong plus point for competitive gaming.
The “3D Surround Sound” mentioned by the manufacturer, which can be activated in the settings, rather falls short in testing. The artificially created three-dimensional sound space feels very artificial, and voices suddenly sound far away. In practice, it feels like I am sticking my head into a thick ball of cotton and the sound isn’t quite so close to my ears anymore.
Microphone
Unfortunately, the microphone is only below average and sufficient only for simple, quick conversations. The main problem is likely the wireless connection. My voice captured by the microphone is heavily compressed by the headset to be sent over Bluetooth or wirelessly to the computer. This adversely affects the voice quality. With a proper table microphone or a wired headset, you are usually better off.
At least the microphone is detachable. Therefore, you can easily combine the JBL headset with a table microphone. I did that and was satisfied with the compromise.
Conclusion: There are better and more sensible headsets for 100 euros
For whom is the headset suitable? The JBL Quantum 360P offers a multifunctional gaming headset for many platforms. However, in the test, the device only stands out to a limited extent in the competitive field, mainly due to strong competition:
The HyperX Cloud Alpha S not only feels significantly more valuable and robust, but it also offers a significantly better boom microphone and a more refined sound tuning. And with the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3, you also get a robust and very comfortable gaming headset for under 100 euros.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
What alternatives are available?
The HyperX Cloud Alpha S for around 100 euros offers very good build quality, good sound, and a strong boom microphone. However, the headset is wired, unlike the JBL Quantum 360P.
The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 is also a good alternative for less than 100 euros. Excellent comfort combined with decent sound and a reasonable microphone. However, the software is a bit overloaded.
With the Logitech G433, you also get a wired gaming headset for around 100 euros. The model offers good sound and is generally very comfortable, but with glasses, the headset can press on the ears.
More gaming headsets in all price ranges from 50 to 300 euros can be found in the buying guide on MeinMMO:
In June, the new MMORPG Tarisland will be released and aims to build on the success of World of Warcraft. However, fans of the genre are missing a feature that WoW has had for many years.
Update from June 5, 2024: The article has been fundamentally revised – originally it could be understood that users could only achieve appearance changes through spending real money, which serves as a substitute for a Pay2Win system. The gear system is now better explained as well. We have also incorporated more diverse voices from the community to present a more balanced perspective on this topic. A statement from the developers about the visual progression system has also been requested.
With a western setting and colorful graphics, Tarisland visually resembles World of Warcraft intentionally. The game was originally intended to replace WoW in China after it could no longer be offered there.
Meanwhile, we know: WoW is returning to China, but Tarisland will still be released. When it comes to appearance, however, Tarisland remains more limited than its predecessor.
Here, Tarisland explains again how they want to make money:

Skins and outfits in Tarisland are rare
What about the outfits and skins in Tarisland? In World of Warcraft, when you defeat a boss and finally get the desired piece of equipment you’ve been waiting for, you usually equip it immediately. The first look then falls on the character, who now also wears something new visually.
This “visual progression” is partly missing in Tarisland. The equipment items you receive do not change the appearance of the character. For that, you need “cosmetic items” (via Tarisland Discord). To obtain these cosmetic items, Tarisland offers various ways:
You can earn skins and mounts through quests, leaderboard rewards, achievements, and trading in-game currency for premium currency from other players. However, the easiest way to get new skins is through the real money shop, which constitutes the main business of Tarisland.
All games with visual progression either charge fees for expansions or require a subscription; Tarisland is a free-to-play game whose main business is that people spend money on skins and mounts.
Tarisland had promised to remove Pay2Win from the game, and now there is a monetization strategy that focuses entirely on skins and battle passes. By forgoing Pay2Win content, the new MMORPG is now financed through skin and mount sales.
Those who want to stand out from the crowd without spending real money can do so through small icons above the character’s head, which are available for achievements and from quests; MeinMMO author Cedric experienced this himself in the last technical test. For example, he received an exclamation mark and a mouth with an “X,” which stands for “Muted.”
Phantom Necromancer with the “Muted” smiley
Mounts are also available as rewards for various reputation events, and those who belong to the crème de la crème and make it onto the leaderboard will receive additional rewards for this. It is thus possible to change your appearance even without in-game purchases.
Several users on Reddit report that there is a visual progression in Tarisland when reaching certain levels in gear score. However, we have not been able to confirm this yet.
How is it perceived by fans? Fans have mixed opinions about the direction Tarisland is taking. Some find it really dumb, while others say they don’t care much. On Reddit, players express their opinions on the topic.
Under the post on Reddit, MongooseOne comments: “This is the same reason why I stopped going to the gym.” suggesting that progress would likely not be visible.
Hemperbud finds the whole situation not so bad on Reddit: “I actually don’t care as long as the gameplay is fun and the PvP is good. The older I get, the less I care about what my digital character looks like and the more I care about the time I spend in the game.”
Menu_Dizzy notes on Reddit that other MMORPGs have largely avoided this system in recent years: “Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t BDO and LA largely do the same? Skins change the appearance and not much beyond that?”
Wild Bastards is a new first-person shooter that stands out mainly with an interesting art style. A trailer has now revealed the release date and shows gameplay in various areas.
What game is this about? Wild Bastards is a new first-person shooter that you can play in single-player mode. The game is being developed by Blue Manchu, who have already received very positive reviews for their other shooter Void Bastards on Steam.
A trailer has now revealed the release date and lures with colorful gameplay in a cartoon-like world:

In Wild Bastards you play the deadliest gang in the galaxy
When will it be released? The game is set to launch on September 12, 2024, on the PS5, on Steam, and on the Xbox.
What can you expect? You start with the last two survivors of a deadly galaxy gang, fleeing to your home and simultaneously searching for your deceased members to revive them.
In total, there are 13 outlaws for you to play. Each one brings their own skills, weapons, personalities, and relationships.
As a player, you must maintain and manage the relationships of the gang members. Because traveling with enemy outlaws is quite difficult.
With resources, you can heal injured members and level up your different characters.
A mix of shooter, strategy, management, and roguelike
In Wild Bastards, a plethora of gameplay mechanics await you, wrapped in a colorful, procedurally generated world that feels as if you’ve been dipped into a cartoon.
In the Wild Bastards galaxy, several planets await you with different parameters such as gravity, terrain properties, and weather conditions.
A mix of first-person shooter, strategy game with thrilling battles, detailed management systems, and roguelike campaigns is promised to you.
Before you land on a planet, you must decide which gang members you want to send into battle. You should consider the terrain, enemies, and the characteristics of your characters.
In the trailer, you can take a look at the design and gameplay of the various characters, as well as some of the different planets.
How is it received? The reactions under the trailer (via YouTube) suggest that players are mainly curious about Wild Bastards due to its standout art style. “Visually distinctive, I must admit,” writes a user in their comment. Some others write that they find the style interesting and unique.
