Valorant Mumbai Server IP 2021

The third Act of Riot’s competitive shooter Valorant is finally here, and it has brought with it a plethora of changes to the game and new matchmaking servers for the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia which players have been asking ever since the release of Valorant.

However, it seems like Valorant players in some parts of India are continuing to experience high latencies despite the South Asian server being located in Mumbai, India.

This might be a result of routing issues, which can potentially be fixed by gaining access to the server IPs, and that’s why Riot has revealed the IPs of some of the newly implemented Mumbai servers in a Reddit thread yesterday.

Here are the IPs of the Valorant servers in Mumbai which have been revealed by a Riot dev:

1) 75.2.66.166
2) 99.83.136.104

To check your connectivity to these servers, open the command prompt by pressing windows key + R at the same time and typing in ‘cmd’. Once done, type ‘ping’ followed by the destination IP address, and you’ll be able to see your ping to the servers.

Keep in mind that even though you have good latencies, you can’t play competitive matchmaking in Valorant right now due to an audio bug across all maps in the game. Riot has promised that they’ll get the servers up and running for ranked once the bug is fully fixed.

“PlaySimple is a rapidly growing and highly profitable games studio that quickly has established itself as one of the leading global developers of free-to-play word games, an exciting new genre for MTG.”

said MTG Group President & Chief Executive Maria Redin.

In the first half of 2021 alone, PlaySimple already had $60 million in revenue compared to the $83 million in the whole of last year. This, fueled by the rising awareness of gaming in India, which had tens of millions of new gamers in the last two years.

The Bangalore-based company had raised $4 million in a Series A round from Elevation Capital and Chiratae Ventures valuing the company at $16 million in the year 2016.

Modern Times Group owns esports companies ESL (82%), DreamHack (100%), and casual gaming firms such as InnoGames and Ninja Kiwi. It also owns US-based gaming company Kongregate, which it purchased in the year 2017 from the games retailer GameStop.

MTG’s subsidiary company ESL has made strategic investments in the Indian esports ecosystem. The German-headquartered esports broadcast platform has picked up a minority stake in India’s Nazara Technology, which owns a majority in ESL’s Indian partner Nodwin Gaming. Quite a swirled branch!

0

Minecraft version 1.17.1 is right on the edge with an update scheduled for next week unless the developer runs into any critical issues.

The time for 1.17 is up and 1.17.1 is set to drop on Tuesday, June 6th according to the developers if everything goes according to their plan. The pre-release is already out for the players to get a taste of the update and the final version wouldn’t bring anything new besides optimization and bug fixes.

The developers were extremely vocal about keeping this update strictly for optimization and bug fixes with little to no fresh content which is presumably saved for 1.18. If you were looking for fresh content in the game then you should wait for the 1.18 update. The 1.17 series of updates will reportedly revolve around minor improvements.

The minor improvements and bug fixes will be aimed towards improving the overall experience of the game so that when new content arrives in the near future, players can enjoy it to its maximum potential without any annoying bugs or performance issues.

How to tame pets in Grounded?

0

Grounded’s biggest update, Shroom and Doom, brings many new features to the multiplayer game such as new crafting materials (i.e: Mushrooms) and items for structures. The update has also reworked and reintroduced the Broodmother boss which was shortly removed after the game launched as the boss did not meet the developer’s expectations, but perhaps the biggest and the most interesting feature in this update is the addition of pets. Players can now tame Aphids and Weevils as pets and customize them accordingly. 

How to tame Weevil pets in Grounded?

Found in The Grasslands, these tiny, black insects are passive towards the player and make great pets. To tame a Weevil, you’ll need a Mushroom Slurry and a Grinder. 

You’ll need 2x Crow Feather Piece, 2x Acorn Shells, 3x Flower Petals, and 5x Bombardier Parts to craft a Grinder which is used to make slurries from various ingredients.

To make Mushroom Slurry, you’ll need either a Mushroom, Mushroom Chunks (obtained using a tier 2 axe), or Toadstool Chunks, adding a Mushroom Chunk to the Grinder will grant you 8 slurries. You can also farm Mushrooms faster by using a Garden Patch and Spoiled Meat.

If you spot hostile Worker Ants or Lawn Mites in an area, it means that a Weevil is nearby. Drop a Mushroom Slurry near the Weevil that you wish to tame and wait for it to consume it, do this once more and you should be able to ‘pet’ the Weevil, this means that you’ve successfully tamed it.

How to tame Aphid pets in Grounded?

Aphids are tiny, green creatures that are commonly found in multiple biomes, and as a result, you’ll encounter them quite frequently in comparison to Weevils. You’ll need to feed them Plant Slurry twice to tame them, Plant Slurries are made using 1x Plant Fiber, one of the most common materials in the game, insert a Plant Fiber into the Grinder to obtain a Plant Slurry.

If you’re having trouble finding an Aphid, listen for its squeaks or look for hostile Ladybugs and Lawn Mites in the area as they generally hunt Aphids.

How to craft and use Pet House in Grounded?

Pet House is an essential utility item if you want to keep your tamed pet, you can also rename them, view their stats, and equip Goggles or Helmets on your pet using a Pet House.

To craft a Pet House you need: 2x Weed Stem 1x Acorn Shell 4x Mushroom Brick 2x Crow Feather Piece. After taming a pet, you’ll have the option to ‘deposit’ it and your pet will be sent to a Pet House where you can interact with it and view its various stats, happiness levels, personality. You can only keep one Pet in a Pet House.

Grounded is available on PC – Steam Early Access and Xbox One/Series S|X.

BGMI Data Transfer Process: Everything you need to know

Battlegrounds Mobile India is officially launched in India. Krafton announced this huge early this morning and confirmed that the game is widely available for all android users in the country. One of the crucial processes after downloading the game is data transfer and here is everything you need to know about it.

PUBG Mobile was a big hit in India and many players in the country had invested heavily in this game. The value of skins and other cosmetic items, UC and more ranged in a few thousand dollars for many and hence, one of the most important questions was “Will players get their old accounts back.” The answer is clear now as Krafton has added a data transfer service through which, the entire data of old accounts is being transferred to the database of Battlegrounds Mobile India.

This transfer mainly includes character details, the inventory, and other information linked to each in-game ID but few exemptions are made as well. The data transfer is unevenly distributed but the developers have provided complete information on what is being transferred and what is neglected.

Players can use their Facebook or Twitter ID which was linked to PUBG Mobile to get their old accounts back in Battlegrounds Mobile India. They need to create a new account first and then accept the data migration prompt which enables all the transfers.

Here is a detailed list on all the features transferred by Krafton to Battlegrounds Mobile India:

Things like in-game friends, social circles, and clans are not transferred. Old rank information and the settings like sensitivity and HUD which were saved on the cloud are non-transferable as well. You can check all the sections included above to get detailed information.

The developers have updated the player base on the data transfer process as well. According to their latest announcement, players can transfer their data from PUBG Mobile to Battlegrounds Mobile India after installing the game. You can follow this process to complete the data transfer easily:

HOW TO DO THE DATA TRANSFER?

  1. Agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service that are shown when you first log into the game.
  2. A new character is created.
  3. When the pop-up appears asking if you want to proceed with the data transfer, select ‘Agree’.
  4. After selecting ‘Agree’, another window will appear and you can select from which SNS account in the Prior App you want to use to transfer data to the new account in the New App.
  5. Once again, there will be a window asking if you want to transfer the data from the Prior App SNS account, and you should select ‘Agree’.
    • If you have selected the wrong SNS account by mistake, you can add or modify the linked account later from the settings within the game > basic menu. (allowed to link up to 2 SNS accounts at once)
  6. A message indicating that the data from the Prior App SNS account has been successfully transferred to the new account in the New App should pop up if the data transfer was a success.

The data transfer service will be taken down on 6th July until further notice to complete a maintenance check. Make sure to complete your data transfer before the service is temporarily terminated. The developers have not informed about the official release for iOS users yet and hence, the data transfer process related to iOS devices is not known yet.
