The Nilganihmaht Control Ring is the latest “secret mount” added to World of Warcraft in Patch 9.1. Similar to other secret mounts like Lucid Nightmare and Riddler’s Mind Worm, the game doesn’t give players any explicit instructions as to how to acquire the Nilganihmaht Control Ring—and the mount isn’t mentioned at all in the game’s mount journal. Needless to say, getting your hands on it will be a far less straightforward task than usual.

The quick surge in popularity for Among Us is surely a breath of fresh air for the existing player-base, but it’s also come with its fair share of minor annoyances in server problems It takes a lot longer for indie developers to address these problems since they have limited amounts of sources compared to AAA developers. “Reliable packet 1 (size=15) was not ack’d after” is just one of many errors that players encounter while logging into the game, and it prevents players from joining a lobby or even creating one by themselves.

The Lands Between is a formidable realm not for the faint of heart. Full of strong enemies and even stronger bosses, Elden Ring players are faced with many challenges that may require a change of tactics. Different weapons and spells may be more suitable in specific areas than in others. But with the different stat requirements across the many combat tools at the player’s disposal, how does one use a weapon they don’t have the stats for?

The release of The Witch Queen gave Destiny 2 an overhaul with the Void 3.0 rework, the introduction of glaives, and weapon crafting. As a byproduct of weapon crafting, Bungie added Mementos to the game. This special consumable can be attached to crafted weapons and adds a few cosmetic benefits to a weapon after players reach specific levels with it. The first Memento was available as a random drop after Gambit matches, but throughout Season of the Risen, Bungie gave players two more items to chase, one from Trials of Osiris and another from Grandmaster Nightfalls.

Over 100 Pokémon have been added into Pokémon Sword and Shield with the new The Crown Tundra expansion, and included in that number is another set of regional starters.  All three starter Pokémon from the Hoenn region are now available to obtain in Sword and Shield, though you will need to put in some leg work to get them on your team.  As of now, the only way to capture Torchic, Treecko, and Mudkip is to run into some variation of their evolutionary line while participating in a Dynamax Adventure.

North American League of Legends servers suffered connection issues across the board early in the morning on May 12, with many players experiencing spikes. Players who were in the process of playing on Summoner’s Rift or the Howling Abyss saw their in-game ping spike upwards hundreds of milliseconds at a time.  The server instability appears to be affecting players on North American servers, on both the east and west coasts of the continent.

It took a while, but marksman rifles have found their place in the meta of Call of Duty: Warzone. The EBR-14 isn’t a traditional sniper rifle, but it can perform like one. It’s designated as a marksman rifle in Modern Warfare and Warzone but it can be equipped with attachments to use in both long-range and close-quarters situations. It’s a rapid-fire semi-automatic rifle, so you can fire off a lot of rounds in quick succession as opposed to a bolt-action rifle that has a much slower fire rate.

The new VALORANT Pride Bundle will allow players to show their support for the LGBTQIA+ community with a batch of player cards and a gun buddy. Riot Games has added new Pride items throughout its catalog of games to support the LGBTQIA+ community, including new items in League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra, Wild Rift, and VALORANT.  “We want all players to feel their identities are represented. No matter where you live, who you are, or who you love, we want to make sure you can see yourselves while you play,” a Riot Games blog post reads.

Leveling alternate accounts can always be a drag in any MMO, but in Tripod Studio and Smilegate’s hit title Lost Ark, there’s a way to avoid the tedious grind back to the maximum level available with Knowledge Transfer. When a player buys a Knowledge Transfer with 600 gold of in-game currency, the character you’ve selected will be sent out for eight real-time hours to “train.” When this time period is finished, the chosen alternate account will be at the same level as your main account without any hassle to run through the main storyline of that specific continent.
