A player sought a way to preserve the AI ghost of his deceased brother in Tekken 8. The community and the Tekken team helped him with this.
Gaming is often more than just entertainment: games and the community can also be a place where relationships are formed, communities thrive, and memories are created and honored. A Reddit post by a grieving player recently brought the Tekken community together.
A player who faced the sudden loss of his brother reached out to the community with a question: Can his brother’s AI ghost in Tekken 8 be saved permanently?
Melodic_Insect1356 asked the community if there was a way to preserve his brother’s AI ghost so that he could continue to play against him. These ghosts are essentially replicas of a player’s fighting style. Players can use them as training partners.

His pursuit was to continuously refine his skills, climb the ranks, and ultimately compete in local tournaments in Texas. With Lee as his preferred main character, he invested countless hours into the game Tekken 8 to perfect his abilities.
The Tekken community responded to the moving story and attempted to reach out to the development team of Tekken 8 – and they were successful.
Both expressed their condolences and confirmed that the AI ghost can be downloaded and stored locally on a player’s system, even if the ghost’s data should be lost from the game’s servers.
Melodic_Insect1356 thanked the Tekken team and the community: That was completely unexpected. Thank you so much to everyone here and to the Tekken team. We really have something special here.

The development of the planned live-action adaptation of Naruto by Lionsgate is progressing. Destin Daniel Cretton will write the screenplay and direct. He has even received the blessing from the creator of Naruto himself, but fans are skeptical.
There is a new update on the planned live-action film of Naruto from Lionsgate. Destin Daniel Cretton, who directed the Marvel Studios film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and is also a co-writer of the film, will write the screenplay for the Naruto film and direct it.
The live-action adaptation of this famous anime has been in development by Lionsgate since 2015, and Cretton’s involvement is a significant step forward in the development, as The Hollywood Reporter has noted.
Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto supports Cretton
What does Masashi Kishimoto say? The creator of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, expressed positive thoughts in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter about the choice of Destin Daniel Cretton as director. He emphasized that there is no better director for the Naruto live-action adaptation.
In the interview, he said the following:
When I heard about Destin’s uniqueness, it happened to be right after I had seen a blockbuster action film of his, and I thought he would be the perfect director for Naruto. […] After enjoying his other films and realizing that his strength lies in creating solid dramas about people, I became convinced that there was no other director for Naruto. When I actually met Destin, I found that he was an open-minded director who was willing to take my input and was firmly convinced that we could collaborate in the production process.
Naruto fans are skeptical about the live-action adaptation of Naruto
How are fans reacting? The upcoming live-action adaptation of “Naruto” is causing both excitement and concern among fans. While some anime adaptations have been successful, others have not fared as well. The hope now is that Cretton can bring the world of “Naruto” to life as fans expect. However, some are also expressing skepticism.
We have summarized a few comments that appeared under the X-Post from AnimeTV:
Burnouts3s3 writes: Are we really doing this? Really?
SELIMSK390621: Please don’t do this.
kawakiukitaki: Oh God, please don’t ruin this
On the other hand, some are excited and curious about how the film will be realized. Exciting news for Naruto fans! With Destin Daniel Cretton at the helm, the live-action film is in good hands, writes iamSoftVina, for example.

You can surround yourself with many different companions and summoned allies in Baldur’s Gate 3. Alongside talking brains and flaming elementals, there are also zombies.
What kind of companions are we talking about? The companions we are writing about here are the Ancient Servants, the Ancient Servants. Essentially, they are quite formidable zombies that fight by your side. Here are the stats:
Armor Class: 12
Hit Points: 110
Strength: 16 (+3)
Dexterity: 10 (+0)
Constitution: 15 (+2)
Intelligence: 6 (-2)
Wisdom: 10 (0)
Charisma: 12 (+12)
The Ancient Servants also have darkvision up to 12 meters and can deal quite a bit of damage:
Their multi-attack can only be used against frightened opponents, but it deals between 5 and 12 slashing damage and between 3 and 18 additional necrotic damage. So, it’s always at least 5 damage, and at best it can be up to 33 – and that doubles due to the multi-attack.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming to PS5 – Trailer prepares for console release
The standard attack “Rotting Fist” deals the same damage, but simply. Additionally, it can trigger the condition Mummy Rot, which reduces maximum hit points to 8 and prevents healing.
With Hellish Rebuke, you can also frighten opponents – which is a requirement for the multi-attack described above.
What are the requirements for the companion? To summon the mummy, you can be one of three classes at level 11:
Warlock
Cleric
Wizard
Choose the level 6 spell Create Undead. If you are not in any of the three classes, you can also use a ring to cast the same spell, the Crypt Lord Ring.
How do you obtain the ring? The Crypt Lord Ring is the reward for completing a quest line in Act 3. You start it by gaining access to Philgrave’s manor.
You can shrink yourself and enter through a hole in the wall. Alternatively, you can examine and open a suspicious wall – spell knocking, a successful Arcana check, or brute force can help here. You’ll also find an entrance on the roof of the house, where you just need to pick the lock.
Here you will find the manor. The blue dots mark the false wall.
Inside the house, you will meet an NPC who tasks you with killing one of his missing servants. That servant is Thrumbo, an undead. He hides near the pile beach waypoint in a house. In front of a cabinet, you will find a trail of blood – follow it and loot the cabinet. Thrumbo will jump out at you.
Without giving too much away: If you want to obtain the ring, you need to side with Thrumbo and help him alive through the quest. Then he will gift you the ring.
Have you already summoned an undead to your side? Or do you have a completely different companion that always stands by you? Let us know in the comments.
In Palworld, a variety of powerful Pals are available to you. However, some players choose to forgo these, as they cannot emotionally detach from their other Pals.
What kind of Pals are we talking about here? Many players of Palworld find it hard to part with their Pals because they feel an emotional attachment to them. This is not even about particularly powerful or rare Pals, but rather those that hold a special meaning for the players.
However, if you are looking for a quick ground mount, you will find it here:

Palworld: Here you will find a super fast ground mount
In her post on Reddit, the player Kastamera initiates this discussion by sharing her bond with the Chillet that she caught first in the game. Chillet is an Ice and Dragon type Pal that you can ride, constantly inflicting Dragon-type damage. In your base, it can keep everything cool.
In her post, Kastamera describes her own Chillet with the words: “She is a bit hungry, but I would never trade her for any other Pal.”
She also posts a picture of her Chillet’s stats, which even carries the name Princess. This alone should indicate that this Pal holds a very high significance for this player.

How does the community react? In fact, other Palworld players do not respond with any jokes or particularly negative comments regarding the player’s style. In two days, the post has already garnered 2,300 upvotes.
Moreover, more and more players are reporting their emotional attachment to various Pals and the reasons why they simply cannot part with them.
For example, user iKorvux reports:
I: starting a massive breeding project to create a mining team of Anubis and Digtoise, a perfect IV team, and I’ll probably do the same with every Pal in my base.
Also me: Has the first Ribbuny that I caught because my friends were so excited when we first saw one because it’s cute.
In response, user ItsDanimal admits that he initially thought this post was only about Pals used in battles, but if it includes all Pals, then he himself has 2.5 bases full of bad Pals that he just caught.
Especially the first caught Pals seem to play a significant role here. One user compares their first Pal to a Pikachu that now accompanies them everywhere. Phlutteringphalanges responds in agreement and would also be accompanied by the first caught Pal throughout the entire journey.
Other users confess that they enter a deeper bond mainly with the Pals they have hatched themselves. Whether they send these Pals into battle or simply let them live in their base differs from player to player.
However, user Aggressive-Expert-69 responds with a completely different answer to this post, writing: “Posts like this make me feel like a heartless monster.” This likely suggests that not all players feel emotionally connected to their Pals.

Eternal Tombs is a new MMORPG on Steam, which aims to have real Game Masters in control of the world and events at any time. The developers are now inviting players to the free closed beta.
What kind of game is this?Eternal Tombs is a new MMORPG that was announced on Steam and is planning to release in 2025. With an interesting concept centered around live Game Masters, the developers aim to provide a very special gaming experience.
The developers want to create an old-school sandbox MMORPG that focuses on PvE. While exploring the open world of Mithir with other players, you will pursue an individual story and encounter random events.
The real Game Masters are supposed to keep an eye on the players’ behavior at all times and constantly reshape the game.
What can you expect in the closed beta? A trailer has now announced the closed beta, which is set to start on April 2, 2024. The trailer also shows some smaller gameplay clips and gives you a glimpse of some minor and boss enemies:
Start video
Eternal Tombs startet im April in die closed Beta
Regarding the beta test, the trailer reveals that the tests will start in “The Woodland Commons.” This seems to be an area of the game, as a few small impressions below show.
For example, the trailer shows a first village, a swamp area, or a snowy area with a creature that could be a dragon. You can also catch a brief glimpse of a market stall with an NPC and many colorful figures, which could even hint at a small mini-game.
It can thus be assumed that the beta test will provide a quite pleasant variety of areas and gameplay mechanics.
How can you participate in the beta? With this beta test, Eternal Tombs is starting the first phase of the testing process. If you are interested in this MMORPG and the world of Mithir, you can register for the beta test on the official website.
Participation in the beta is completely free for you, and so far there is no specified limit on the number of possible participants. However, the official page promises that you only have to register once for all tests.
In line with this, the developers also promise that later in the game, everything, including equipment, cosmetics, and useful items, can be unlocked through gameplay.
What does the community say? Indeed, some players seem to already have their eye on Eternal Tombs and are now looking forward to the first beta tests, as the comments under the trailer (via YouTube) suggest:
Lowgarr writes: “I’ve been watching this for a long time, it will be nice to test it.”
alessimc writes: “Sign me up. At this point, I have been following it for years.”
BawsssHoG writes: “I want to play so badly! I already have 5 to 6 friends who want to try to play with me. I can’t wait for this game.”
Other players may not show as much excitement as the users of these three comments but are not averse to giving Eternal Tombs a chance. User tordb is particularly convinced by one point that he makes clear in his comment when he writes: “No cost to join the beta? Uhh, signed up immediately.”
What do you think of Eternal Tombs? Will you sign up for the beta? Feel free to discuss.
During the Dungeon Tournament in World of Warcraft, the professionals from Echo demonstrated an insane trick – something that all teams will probably replicate from now on.
The Dungeon Tournament is currently taking place in World of Warcraft. The best teams in the world often have special tricks and insights up their sleeves to clear a dungeon as efficiently as possible. The professionals from Echo surprised everyone by executing such a complex trick in one of the dungeons that you can only tip your hat to.
The trailer for the next expansion:
Start video
WoW: The War Within – All the major features of the new expansion
What kind of tournament is this? The MDI is the “Mythic Dungeon International”. Teams from all over the world can qualify and try to tackle increasingly difficult “Mythic+” dungeons – with the lowest possible time.
What did Echo do? The trick was performed in the dungeon “Murozond’s Rise”. It requires not only extremely good knowledge of the dungeon but also a perfectly prepared group (everyone has to be Night Elves) and a good understanding of the mechanics of all enemies, including their “reset” mechanics.
The trick creates a wormhole directly from the Lost Time Battlefield to Morchie’s Arena – thus providing a direct connection between the second and third bosses of the dungeon.
How did Echo manage that? This was made possible by the “Infinite Riftmage” mobs. These enemies can be found on the large, sandy platform after the first boss. There are only 4 of these enemies, and each pair of them links the places of their death with a wormhole. Actually, you can only shorten a few meters with this, as you cannot take these enemies to other locations – but Echo managed to do it.
Two of the Riftmage mobs must be killed in advance to unlock the normal portals of the dungeon. At the same time, these portals cannot be used while in combat. Therefore, the entire group from Echo consists of Night Elves to obtain the racial ability “Shadowmeld” which gives them stealth and allows them to leave the combat.
This is how Echo proceeded:
All attack one of the two Infinite Riftmages. Once its HP is low, the three DPS characters run to the portal and use Shadowmeld to quickly run to the Lost Time Battlefield.
In the Lost Time Arena, they perform a summoning ritual of the Warlock.
At the same time, the healer uses Shadowmeld and utilizes the other portal to run to Morchie’s arena. Since the healer left combat through Shadowmeld but still had DoTs active from it, he is immediately “in combat” again with the Riftmage.
Once everyone is in position, the tank flees and uses his own Shadowmeld.
As the Riftmage is now only in combat with the healer, who is on a different platform, the “Snapping” mechanic comes into play. After a few seconds of evasion, the Riftmage teleports to the healer, who immediately kills him. The first wormhole thus forms in Morchie’s arena.
The healer is then summoned by the DPS players with a Warlock portal.
The tank now waits for his group to summon him. Just before he accepts the summon, as a Demon Hunter he places a seal under the remaining Riftmage. As the seal only explodes after the tank has already accepted the summon, the “Snapping” mechanic is triggered again, causing the Riftmage to end up on the Lost Time Battlefield!
Now everyone together destroys the remaining Riftmage, creating a direct wormhole connection between the battlefield and Morchie’s arena.
After that, they use the seal trick to pull the trash mobs from the battlefield to Morchie and defeat the boss along with the trash to save considerable time.
They clear the rest of the dungeon in a normal way.

In any case, an impressive and extremely good tactic, where multiple mechanics interact. Overall, this trick saves about 45 seconds – which is a significant advantage in the MDI.
This is what the community says: Most viewers are quite impressed by this trick but are also astonished. Because such complex strategies that play with the “reset behavior” of the mobs are often changed and fixed by Blizzard. The fact that it even appears as an official video on the WoW channel this time is new and is seen by many as a sign that Blizzard is becoming more lenient and allowing the tournament to unfold more as the community appreciates it.
“This is the most glorious strategy I have ever seen in the MDI.” – Gordronfreems
“Brilliant and unreal that someone actually came up with this. 200 IQ.” – SoloVeracity
What do you think of this trick? Brilliant and mechanically well thought out? Or clear bug abusing that should be banned?
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League casts a dark shadow. The loot shooter is considered a flop by Warner Bros. – and disappoints.
In recent weeks, some really strong games have been released. Whether it’s Palworld, Helldivers 2, or Nightingale, players are currently being offered some impressive gaming content.
However, one game that aimed to be a big hit ultimately has not succeeded. The loot shooter “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” wanted to convince with an interesting approach but has lost a significant part of its already small audience. In fact, Warner Bros. Discovery says that the “expectations have not been met”.
What was said? In the earnings call of Warner Bros. Discovery, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was discussed. The game clearly has not achieved what was hoped for. It is mentioned (via Seeking Alpha):
This year, Suicide Squad, one of our key releases for video games in 2024, has fallen short of our expectations since its release earlier in the quarter, prompting us to prepare our video game business for a tough year-on-year comparison in Quarter 1.
What about the game? Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League also has the misfortune of having to compete with an almost unattainable “predecessor.” Last year, Hogwarts Legacy was released in the same timeframe and, despite some controversies, the game was a mega-hit, selling more than 22 million copies according to Warner Bros. and becoming the “best-selling game in the entire industry worldwide.”
Even if you try not to measure the current Suicide Squad game against such giants, the picture is likely quite bleak.
A look at the current Steam charts (as of: February 24, 2024, 1:00 PM) shows how the loot shooter is really doing:
The all-time high of 13,459 concurrent players was reached immediately after release.
Since then, interest in the game has steadily declined.
In the last 24 hours, around 900 people have been active in the game at peak times.
For a game with a live-service concept, this is far too few active players to justify significant further development of the title.
The future of the game is likely hanging in the balance, even though there are no clear statements regarding this yet. Whether Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League can recover from this low point is indeed questionable.
Have you played the loot shooter and still enjoy it? Or did you move on after a few days?
Once Human is the sandbox survival game on Steam, which gave fans of the genre new hope shortly after the debacle surrounding The Day Before. Now they invite you to the next closed beta and many players hope to snag a spot again.
What kind of game is it? Once Human is a new survival sandbox game on Steam, which aims to impress with a quirky world and developed into a great hope for fans of the genre after the debacle surrounding The Day Before.
Together with other players, you will try to survive in Once Human in a post-apocalyptic world. You will face PvE battles, but also PvP battles against other groups of survivors. Many features are intended to make Once Human an interesting and good survival game.
When will it be released? The release of Once Human is announced for the third quarter of 2024. Until then, the third closed beta is planned to start on March 28. In the trailer, you can see what to expect in Once Human:

What can you expect in the beta? The developers have already announced some information about the closed beta. This time there will be an area that focuses on the sandbox features. Players will have the opportunity to build their own private space.
Players will also experience different seasons in the beta. Further information about the content of the beta will presumably be announced by the developers in the coming months.
Who can participate? Regarding the question of who can participate in the third closed beta, there has already been a precise announcement on Discord.
The announcement promises that all players who have previously participated in earlier beta will also receive access this time. However, if you are a new player interested in taking part in the third beta test, you should keep an eye on the Discord server.
Only 150,000 downloads of the beta launcher will be available shortly before the launch. Therefore, it is important to act quickly, as once this limit is reached, there will be no further access available.
Additionally, the scale of this closed beta is even a bit larger than before. This time, players will have the opportunity to play on European servers, which provide German and French support. This will also apply to players on mobile devices.
The latest patch for Overwatch 2 has drastically disturbed the balance. Blizzard is trying to fix this – and is changing 12 heroes, just a few days after the season started.
Two weeks ago, one of the largest patches in Overwatch 2 went live. Not only did a new season begin, but several fundamental principles of the game were called into question. Now, all characters can heal themselves when they briefly take cover, and DPS characters apply a debuff to hit enemies that reduces the healing received.
But there were many more changes. Overall, the adjustments were so manifold that internally they even spoke of “Overwatch 3”.
In fact, the adjustments were so drastic that in a subsequent patch, a total of 12 characters will be modified.
The major changes are also shown in the trailer:
Start video
Overwatch 2: Season 9 fundamentally changes the game
What was the problem? It was virtually impossible to limit the problems to just one. So much was adjusted that many changes interacted with each other, leading to quite complex issues.
The projectile size of almost all weapons was drastically increased, which now allows most characters to hit more reliably. In some cases, the projectiles were so large that one could shoot clearly past the target and still hit.
The health points of the characters were also increased. This made not only all heroes more stable, but many heroes also weaker. Because if everything can endure more and fights between two characters last longer than before, it also changes who of the heroes now has a better chance.
That these diverse changes would not succeed without a few balance problems is clear. Exactly that Blizzard has now fixed with the first hotfix patch of the season.
What was changed? The changes to the heroes often affect the size of the projectiles, but also the damage dealt or the ability to reduce it. The details of the changes are:
D.Va
Lightgun
The base size of the projectile was reduced from 0.25 meters to 0.20 meters. The total size is now 0.3 meters.
Roadhog
Take a Breather
The damage reduction was increased from 40% to 50%.
Zarya
Particle Cannon
The minimum damage of the primary fire mode was increased from 85 to 95 per second.
The maximum damage of the primary fire mode was increased from 170 to 190.
Hanzo
The base size of the projectile was reduced from 0.1 meters to 0.075 meters. The total size is now 0.175 meters.
Junkrat
Remote Detonated Mine
The cooldown was reduced from 8 to 7 seconds.
The maximum damage was increased from 110 to 120.
The minimum damage was increased from 20 to 55.
Junkrat and Roadhog receive small buffs.
Soldier: 76
Heavy Pulse Rifle
Now uses the 0.05 meter smaller hitscan size modifier for projectiles. The total size of the projectile is now 0.05 meters.
Tracer
The distance at which the weapon’s damage decreases was reduced from 12 meters to 10 meters.
Widowmaker
Now uses the 0.05 meter smaller hitscan size modifier for projectiles. The total size of the projectile is now 0.05 meters.
The distance at which the weapon’s damage decreases in sniper mode was increased from 40 – 60 meters to 50 – 70 meters.
Illari
Healing Pylon
The cooldown was reduced from 8 to 6 seconds. When destroyed by an enemy, the cooldown was reduced from 15 to 12 seconds.
Captive Sun
The explosion damage of Solar Flare was increased from 100 to 160.
The explosion of Solar Flare now has a damage reduction of up to 25% the further away you are from the explosion.
Lúcio
Sound Amplifier
The base size of the projectile was reduced from 0.15 to 0.1 meters. The total size of the projectile is now 0.25 meters.
Mercy
Caduceus Blaster
The base size of the projectile was reduced from 0.25 meters to 0.2 meters. The total size of the projectile is now 0.3 meters.
Zenyatta
The base health points were reduced from 100 to 75.
Season is viewed skeptically: Many players in the community seem unsure about what they think of the latest season. While some absolutely love being able to heal themselves through tactical retreat, others find the game significantly worse. Especially the larger projectiles often lead to comments that characters are now shooting not with bullets but ‘with logs’ – even if that is a bit exaggerated.
What do you think of the current patch of Overwatch? Do you like it and are you enjoying the changes? Or should all of them be reverted?

27 years after its release, a true cult film is making a comeback. The reason for this is the shooter Helldivers 2, which is clearly based on the cinematic original.
Which movie is it about? Helldivers 2 is currently one of the most popular games and is having trouble coping with the influx of players. In its presentation and thematic direction, it is reminiscent of the film Starship Troopers. The science fiction film is from 1997, so it has been around for quite a few years.
Starship Troopers was directed by Paul Verhoeven, the Dutch director known for films like Robocop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct, or Showgirls.
Upon its release, the film caused quite a stir and was even indexed in Germany. The reason for this was the depiction of violence. Over the years, Starship Troopers became a cult film. Now it is making a comeback and is being watched by more people again. This is likely due to Helldivers 2.
Start video
STARSHIP TROOPERS [1997] – Official Trailer
In the fight for freedom and democracy
What are the parallels? Starship Troopers is about humanity’s fight against alien insect creatures, called “Bugs”. As part of a large-scale offensive, their planet is to be attacked.
Just this premise should remind one of Helldivers 2, where players also face off against giant insects. The overall tone is pathetic, as it is a fight against the aliens to save the day and, at the same time, democracy.
Here, the exaggerated tone that characterizes Starship Troopers becomes evident. At first glance, the film seems to glorify the military, war, and violence. However, all elements in it are so exaggerated that a closer look reveals that it is a satire.
Even the soldiers’ armor looks ridiculous against the Bugs. Furthermore, the enthusiasm with which the soldiers blindly rush into battle demonstrates that not everything should be taken seriously here. On the contrary, the soldiers with their cheer-Patriotism even appear ridiculous.
Not everyone in the audience understood this when the film was released. The film found little acceptance. As mentioned, it was indexed in Germany. The fact that the exaggerated violence is also part of the satire probably played a secondary role for the Federal Review Board at the time. The indexing was only lifted in 2017 (via schnittberichte.com). Until then, the film could only be seen heavily cut.
Anyone currently playing Helldivers 2 will likely be constantly reminded of the game while watching Starship Troopers. The humor is similar, which is also inspired by D&D. Nevertheless, the game offers enough of its own ideas. The viewer numbers for the film have definitely risen lately, as this post on X clarifies:

Thus, Starship Troopers is once again making a return to the screens. In this country, the film can be seen on Disney Plus.
It may be due to the style of director Paul Verhoeven that some of his films flopped at release but later developed into cult films. For example Showgirls from 1995. Or his films are so brutal that they were indexed here. In addition to Starship Troopers, Robocop from 1987 also experienced this. There is a current game recommended by MeinMMO author Niko Hernes related to this.

What food do you use for llamas in Minecraft? How can you tame and breed them? We will show you in the overview.
What are llamas used for? In Minecraft, you can use llamas to transport items or to ride on them. They are cute animals that many players like to have in their base.
Here we clarify the most important questions about llama food as well as breeding and taming.
Food for Llamas – How to Breed?
This is what they eat: You can feed llamas in Minecraft with wheat and hay bales. To feed a llama, take the food into your action bar. Select this item and then use it directly on the llama to feed it. If it is not hungry, you cannot feed it.
In which biomes can you find llamas? You can encounter llamas in the following biomes:
Scruffy Hills
Scruffy Gravel Hills
Scruffy Forest
Savanna Plateau
Mountain Range
Breeding llamas: To breed llamas, you need to feed the parent llamas hay bales. If you give two llama parents standing close to each other the hay bales, they will mate. You will see hearts rising and a baby llama will appear.
Taming Llama in Minecraft
This is what you need to do:
First, you need to find a llama in one of the mentioned biomes
Now take 10 wheat or 5 hay bales and feed the llama with them
Now you can interact with the llama using your bare hand (without a selected item) and press your use button
If you did everything correctly, you will now ride the llama and have tamed it
Red hearts will rise from the llama
If the llama throws you off, it hasn’t eaten enough yet. So keep getting back on its back until it no longer throws you off
Taming without food: You can also tame a llama without food. Keep getting back on the llama until the red hearts rise
Riding a llama: You cannot control the movements of the llama when you are riding it. However, you can take a lead and pull the animal in one direction behind you.
How to place a chest on the llama: First, tame the llama as described in our guide. Now select a chest from your inventory and put it in your action bar. By right-clicking on the llama with the selected chest, you equip the animal with the chest. You should then see the llama with the chest in the game.
To open the chest, sit on the llama and open the inventory (PC: E, Xbox: Y, PS: Triangle).
A llama equipped with a chest and carpet
How to place a carpet on the llama: This works similarly to the chest.
Tame a llama as described in our guide
Sit on the tamed llama
Take a carpet into your action bar and then use the button to open the llama’s inventory. On PC, this would be the E key. On Xbox consoles, it is the Y key, and on PlayStation consoles, the Triangle
In the new window, drag the carpet from your inventory onto the action field to the left of the image of the llama
After that, you can close the inventory
Note: You can create a carpet using 2 wool blocks side by side. From 8 white carpets and one dye in the middle, you can create colorful carpets
Once you have closed the inventory, you should now see the llama with the equipped carpet. You can use all kinds of colors for the carpet and dress the llama according to your taste. Many players choose different colors to create a colorful herd.
You can also equip a chest and a carpet on the same llama at the same time.

In Diablo 4, there are a few important rules that you should definitely pay attention to and not break, in order to avoid attracting the wrath of Lilith or other players.
Below, we summarize unwritten rules for Diablo 4 that apply to all players, regardless of which class they play. Of course, these are not “real” rules or laws; you do not have to adhere to them. The article should be taken with a grain of salt.
Nevertheless, there are unwritten rules that can make your life in Sanctuary easier and particularly provide new players with a smoother entry. Additionally, these rules allow you to grind more effectively and earn experience points.
Do not run past the altars of Lilith
As you walk or ride through Sanctuary, you will encounter statues of Lilith. These can be found in all areas. When you interact with them, one of your primary attributes is permanently improved – and this applies to all your characters. So, do not simply run past them.
This is why you should activate all altars: The enhancements you receive from the altars are permanent and apply to every character on your account. So even for those you create later. If you want to try out a new class, you already have a small advantage at the early levels.
And since you are already on your way to “collect” all the altars, you should also uncover the entire map, as that will carry over to your new characters.
Note: This only applies if you are not on Hardcore or switching from Hardcore to normal mode. When switching, you have to uncover and collect everything again.
As you progress in regional advancement, you also unlock additional slots for your healing potions:
Per region, you unlock an additional potion slot. The bottom row of rewards in regional advancement in Diablo 4 is carried over to all characters.
Do not ignore upgrading your healing potion
In Diablo 4, you can upgrade your potion at the alchemist upon reaching certain levels. Once this is possible, you will see an upward arrow on the potion icon in your action bar.
This is why you should not ignore it: In some games, you find various potions on your travels that can restore your health, including small, medium, and large healing potions.
However, in Diablo 4, you upgrade the potion itself. Every potion you pick up has that exact size. If you do not upgrade it, you will be carrying a healing potion that cannot fully utilize its healing power.
No active elixir = lost XP
In Diablo 4, there are several ways to boost your farming of experience points (XP) a bit. You can team up with other players to receive a group bonus on XP. But you should also always remember to activate elixirs.
This is why you should activate an elixir: Elixirs not only provide you with specific bonuses, such as a better evasion chance or resistances against fire, poison, and other elements. They also give you a 5% bonus on earned XP.
Some elixirs can already be crafted at low levels with materials that are easy to farm: The “Weak Elixir of Iron Thorns” can be crafted with 5 Grave Vines and 5 Bite Berries.

Revive fallen players
You may be familiar with the situation: You are doing an event somewhere in Sanctuary. More and more mobs spawn, elite enemies slow or stun you, you take so much damage that you cannot handle it and die. You can respawn, but then you have to repair your damaged equipment for gold.
This is why you should revive players: If someone revives you in such a situation, you save yourself the repair costs, and your equipment stays intact – as if nothing ever happened. So if you see the gravestone of a “dead” player character, do them a favor and revive them with a click.
However, there are also situations where you need to weigh this – such as during fights against world bosses. Reviving can quickly lead to your player character’s demise as well.
Whoever stands in the city gains no XP
Of course, you cannot constantly run through dungeons or events and need to return to the city to empty your inventory, craft potions, or take a short break. But you should note that during this time, you are not earning any XP.
This is why you should keep this in mind: Especially in group play, you should be considerate of your teammates. Minimize your time in the city as long as you are not playing alone, because: While you pet the dog, sort your chests, or chat with NPCs, you and your group members miss out on XP.
Also, players on Reddit are collecting a few “unwritten rules” for Diablo 4. Although the post dates back to October 25, 2023, the rules are generally formulated and thus timeless:
If [you ride to a world boss alongside other players], it is always a race to see who arrives first, even if they don’t know we are racing.
If you see someone spinning like a Beyblade, you must also spin like a Beyblade.
When you join an ongoing event, always let the person who started the event open the loot chest at the end.
When you join an event, always use the hello emote.
Always pet the dogs.

In Pokémon GO the big Sinnoh Tour is coming, bringing you research around Dialga and Palkia. But the trainers are now disappointed because one important thing is missing. We at MeinMMO explain to you what it’s all about.
Which event is it about? Today, on February 24th, the big global Sinnoh Tour starts, which is all about space-time anomalies. Dialga and Palkia as well as their primal forms are an important part in the coming two event days, which is why they have received their own special research.
However, this is now causing a lot of frustration among trainers. We have summarized why they are so disappointed and what it means for you below.

Dialga and Palkia are not available from the research
Why are the trainers frustrated? As with every major Pokémon event, a thematically fitting special research was also designed for the Sinnoh Tour. This usually revolves around monsters that play an important role during an event. This weekend, Dialga and Palkia are in the spotlight.
In the context of the research Path to Sinnoh, trainers could decide whether their research and the associated bonuses should revolve around Diamond (Dialga) or Pearl (Palkia). For many trainers, it was natural that they would encounter an example of their chosen representative in its primal form during the research available during the event. And the accompanying original announcement in the game also suggested that.
But now the disillusionment: nothing! As trainers from the first time zones report, where the Sinnoh Tour is already in progress, there will be no encounter with Dialga or Palkia in the special research ‘GO Tour 2024: Time Comes, Space Comes’.
What does this mean for the trainers? If you want to secure one of the two monsters with the corresponding special attack, you have to do raids and thus invest valuable passes. Note that you can only find the primal forms of the two legendary monsters in raids during the habitats Historical Grove and Geothermal Lagoon.
How are the trainers reacting? The mood in the community regarding this is heated, as many were hoping for an encounter to secure the special attack. Reddit user AutumnalAlchemist is also disappointed and writes (via reddit.com):
In the info for the choice of the diamond/pearl badge, it said that we would receive an encounter with this Pokémon. […] It seems like I’m not the only one expecting this encounter. […] Now I see reports from people where the global event has started and who are stating that there is actually no free encounter with the Pokémon and that you can only obtain it in raids. Am I the only one who thinks that’s really shabby?

Trainers criticize wording in announcement: And he is not alone, as many other trainers are also not pleased with this development. The wording regarding the choice of the respective monster is particularly criticized, as it directly advertised an encounter with one of the primal forms and its special attack, as can be seen in the image from AutumnalAlchemist (via reddit.com).
So SlytherKitty13 writes: Yes, I mean, it said ‘encounter a primal Pokémon …’, which sounds very personal, right? They never use such wording when it comes to Pokémon that are meant to be caught in raids, especially since they know that people doing raids never just do one. Even the ‘big’ Pogo content people, who make infographics and social media stuff, seemed convinced by this wording that players should expect an encounter. What a disappointment.
And Plus-Pomegranate8045 is also sure that it could have been handled better: Wait, really? That’s terrible if true. If that’s the case, they could have just formulated it like this: ‘Encounter the primal form of Dialga in raids that know the special attack ‘Roar of Time’, to avoid any confusion.
Our most important articles about the Sinnoh Tour 2024:
What’s next? As attentive trainers have noticed, the text in the game has since been adjusted. The hint regarding an encounter from raid battles can now be found there. It is therefore not to be expected that the developers will make a last-minute change here.
Were you also hoping for an encounter from the research? And are you now disappointed that there won’t be one? Or did you want to play plenty of raids anyway? Feel free to let us know here at MeinMMO in the comments.
A new series with a historical setting called Shōgun is set to debut in just a few days, promising epic battles and political intrigue. The series has many similarities to Game of Thrones and has received high praise in initial reviews.
What is Shōgun about? The series throws you into the time of feudal Japan and revolves around John Blackthorne, the captain of a Dutch ship who ends up in Japan. There, he encounters influential figures and becomes embroiled in their political intrigues.
Like Game of Thrones, Shōgun is based on a book, specifically the best-selling novel of the same name by James Clavell.
Here you can see an English trailer for the upcoming series Shōgun, which feels quite like Game of Thrones set in Japan:

Extended trailer for season 1 of Shogun
What are critics saying so far? On Rotten Tomatoes, the series currently holds a perfect score of 100% on the Tomatometer from 22 reviews (as of February 23, 2024).
Critics praise the upcoming series and compare it to the HBO hit Game of Thrones. For instance, gamesradar concludes in their review: “Watch out, Game of Thrones, it’s [Shogun] coming to claim your throne…”
Particularly positive reviews of Shōgun highlight the action and fight scenes, noting that the series is not shy about brutality and “blood fountains.”
Additionally, the acting performances of the cast, the gripping plot with political intrigues, and the fantastic historical setting reportedly impress reviewers and even make it a “strong contender for the best new series of 2024.”
Where and when can you watch Shōgun? The samurai series will premiere on Disney+ on February 27, 2024.
Initially, two episodes will be released there – after that, new episodes will come to the platform every Tuesday, on a weekly basis. The series will consist of a total of 10 episodes, each with a runtime of one hour.
In a recently released episode of Ben Berndt’s podcast, “{ungeskriptet},” the well-known Twitch streamer and content creator Rewinside was a guest. In the conversation, he gives honest insights into his wealth and shares his attitude towards money.
Rewinside initially gained fame through Minecraft – and he remains loyal to this game. Meanwhile, he also presents a variety of vlogs and plays other games, where he entertains his viewers, especially with his numerous meltdowns.

Wealth Valued at 7 to 10 Million Euros
In the podcast “{ungeskriptet} by Ben Berndt,” Rewinside provides insights into his wealth and describes his attitude towards it. The episode was published on February 17, 2024, on the eponymous YouTube channel.
How much is his wealth? Rewinside emphasizes that financial success can open many doors, but it does not automatically mean personal happiness. In the conversation, he estimates his wealth to be around 7 to 10 million euros – this includes properties, investments, and business shares (quote with timestamp). Nevertheless, Rewinside values living not extravagantly.
What does he say about his lifestyle? Rewinside reports that he has not owned a car for a year. He explains that he finds it simply unnecessary, as he can easily get from point A to B without a car. “It’s nonsense to own a car right now because I just don’t need it,” says the creator himself.
He emphasizes that he prefers alternative means of transportation and likes to walk a few steps if it gets him to his destination faster. Despite the opportunity to indulge in luxury, a car is simply not necessary for him.
What does he say about vacations? Another topic that Rewinside addresses in the podcast is his experience with vacations. As an example, he mentions his trip to the Maldives, which would have cost roughly 15,000 euros per person without cooperation.
Yet despite the paradise setting, he was not happy there because he spent most of his time producing content and thus working.
In contrast, during his vacation in Thailand, he was able to enjoy his time at the beach and truly relax. It was his first real vacation in 10 years, as his previous trips were always linked to professional obligations, he reports in the conversation.
What is his attitude on the topic? Rewinside points out in the podcast the oft-quoted wisdom that “money alone does not make you happy.” For him, this is a “platonic, silly sentence” that people who have never reached this status can hardly understand. It is important to recognize that material wealth can create conveniences, but does not automatically lead to a fulfilling life.
The week is coming to an end and once again there is news about Destiny 2 and its future, thanks to a new TWaB post from Bungie. This time, many changes regarding PvP are announced and they are quite significant.
What has Bungie announced? In the latest TWaB post from Bungie, many changes regarding PvP have been revealed. Bungie’s PvP strike team has done a great job planning changes across multiple updates that players will gradually enjoy until the release of “The Final Shape”.
This includes adjustments to maps, modes, matchmaking, and a mode that players will soon be able to test in the labs – “Hardware”.
Start video
Destiny 2: The Most Epic Moments of the Light and Darkness Saga
A mode just for hardcore guardians: No abilities, only weapons
What will the mode look like? Hardware is set to be implemented in the labs. It is a modifier that locks all your abilities. Therefore, in the Crucible, you will only be able to do something against opposing guardians with your weapons in hand. Additionally, special and heavy ammo packs are supposed to drop, which you can then pick up and use in combat.
Why do many guardians want to fight without abilities? While in every PvP mode of Destiny 2 your abilities are active, many guardians have wished for a mode where players only fight with their weapons.
Ults in PvP are often perceived as disruptive
The abilities in Destiny 2 are a core feature that brings the space magic of the loot shooter to life, but in PvP they are often seen as disruptive or unfair. There are usually moments when you could easily win a 1 vs. 1, yet ults, grenades, or throwing knives are being tossed around. This annoys many players.
Destiny 2 has one of the best gunplays in the shooter genre. Guardians also want to measure themselves only with their guns to show who can handle them better. A “Nova Bomb” can unfortunately be thrown successfully by anyone, but a quickscope from a “Revered” is harder to master.
When will Hardware be released? Bungie has not given a specific date yet, but the developers have listed the chronological update order in which “Hardware” should be released. Currently, we are at version number 7.3.4.2.
First, update 7.3.5 will come, and then 7.3.6 will be released with the Hardware update. When the developers are aiming for the release is still uncertain. It is clear that you will receive the update before “The Final Shape”.
What do you think about such a mode? Will you check it out and test the mode or are you not interested? Let us know in the comments!

Helldivers 2 is preparing for the weekend and is now allowing more players onto the servers, but the developers still anticipate issues.
What is the situation with the servers?
Helldivers 2 has been available on Steam and PS5 for 2 weeks and has since become a real surprise success, with regularly over 400,000 concurrent players on Steam.
Almost every evening, the servers of the co-op shooter struggle, as many players want to relax and play after a long workday.
To keep the servers stable, the developers on February 18 restricted the maximum number of players to about 450,000. Those who try to log in to Helldivers 2 after reaching the player maximum will be greeted with the message “Login limit reached.”
How much has the server capacity been increased? For the upcoming weekend, Arrowhead has raised the cap from 450,000 to 700,000 players. Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt announced this on X.com (formerly known as Twitter).
With the increase of the login limit, the developers aim to make waiting times more pleasant.

Helldivers 2 Announce Trailer PS5 PC
Developers anticipate problems over the weekend
Why are problems expected? As Pilestedt writes on X.com, the development studio expects that the new login limit of 700,000 players could be reached over the weekend. In that case, players would have to expect a queue again.
Just last weekend, Helldivers 2 reached a new record with over 333,000 active players on Steam, which has been surpassed almost daily throughout the week. It is therefore likely that player numbers will continue to rise over the weekend – especially since they are no longer capped at 450,000.
