Iran proudly presents quantum processor: now explains that they were only holding a 550€ motherboard in front of the camera

Schuhmann 2. July 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

On June 8, a photo circulated the globe showing an Iranian admiral holding what was claimed to be a quantum processor in front of the camera. However, experts on the internet pointed out: that was not a quantum processor, but a hardware part available for 550 € on Amazon. About a month later, Iran admits the mistake.

What kind of photo was that?

A rear admiral held a circuit board during a presentation. The University of Marine Science and Technology of Iran referred to it as the “first products with a quantum processor algorithm.”
But the international tech community quickly recognized: that was not a quantum processor, but a motherboard, the “ZedBOard Zynq-70000,” which can be purchased for about 600 $ on Amazon. A tweet from a former advisor to the US State Department for Iran, Gabriel Noronha, revealed the truth.
Now, a spokesperson for the involved Iranian university explains what exactly happened.

https://twitter.com/GLNoronha/status/1666885129082396679

University must correct itself on several points

What is the explanation? A statement from the vice-chancellor of the Marine University begins with “In the name of God, the Merciful” (via tasminnews):

Some scientists and the media noted problems during a presentation. They want to clarify this now.
The term “quantum-processing algorithm” for the QPSO-LTSM algorithm is technically incorrect.
Moreover, it led to misunderstandings, as another FGPA board was shown at the conference. Hence, the impression was created that the board was a quantum processor. This is not the case.
Nevertheless, the principle of the algorithm is important for the security of the Navy.
Ultimately, they thank the community for being so attentive.

Why exactly this board, which is available for purchase on Amazon, was held in front of the camera remains unclear. Why they even referred to it as a “quantum processor” when it apparently has nothing to do with the subject they wanted to present is also not explained in the statement.

The university seems to admit mistakes, but does not explain how it happened and what they intended to achieve. They only emphasize that the research is somehow important.

It seems clear that the rear admiral had no idea what exactly he was holding in front of the camera.

5 seconds in my favorite MMORPG annoyed me so much that I haven’t forgotten it 9 years later

Alexander Leitsch 2. July 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

Scarlet Briar was the antagonist of the first season of the Living World in Guild Wars 2. However, at her death there was a dialogue that still annoys our editor Alexander Leitsch.

It is 2014, Tyria is sinking into chaos. The Sylvari Scarlet first attacks the game world with a giant puppet, and later with an oversized drill the capital Lion’s Arch. Hundreds must flee, many die, and it is up to my group of heroes and me to protect the residents of Tyria from even greater evil.

But why is this insane woman attacking Lion’s Arch at all? There are theories and, through data mining, a somewhat logical explanation. But a few pieces of the puzzle are missing, and that’s why I am looking forward to the big showdown, a final and tough boss fight on the “Briar Breaker” – that is the name Scarlet gave her drill.

But the dialogues in this showdown drive me to despair. It hurt and still hurts so much because I feel robbed of an epic moment.

Who is speaking here? Alex is the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO and started his “career” in 2005 with Guild Wars 1. He spent over 10,000 playing hours in it. In the sequel Guild Wars 2, he has now racked up nearly 9,000 hours. But as much as he loves this game series, he so much curses the moment with Scarlet on the Briar Breaker.

“That doesn’t matter now. You are at the end”

Scarlet is lying on the ground. She breathes heavily but still speaks in complete sentences. There comes a dialogue and finally she begins with the sentence I’ve been waiting for more than a year:

Don’t you want to know why all of this? All this chaos and destruction?

YES! Yes, it screams out of me. The moment comes that I wait for in every movie and every series. The villain manically explains his story, his motives behind all the terrible deeds. I eagerly soak up these moments. Is there a good thought behind all the evil? And did the person suffer such hard blows of fate that not a spark of light remained in the heart?

But then my companion Braham Eirsson simply destroys everything: “That doesn’t matter now. You are at the end.” BAM. Other members of the hero group agree with him. Scarlet does not continue her conversation. The air is gone. I never find out what the crazy Sylvari thought behind all this…

Of course, all the important things are clarified in retrospect. The Sylvari are a people that actually serve the Elder Dragon Mordremoth. When he awakens, they should plunge into a battle against the other races of Tyria.

The Pale Tree, on the other hand, protects the playable and allied Sylvari from the dragon’s influence. Therefore, they can make independent decisions and fight him later. Scarlet had figured all this out.

But why did she try to awaken the Elder Dragon with her drill instead of waiting for his natural cycle? Did she simply want to plunge the world and the Sylvari into chaos? Or did she have a plan to stop the dragon? Was there perhaps a chance for the mortal races in the premature awakening because Mordremoth had not fully recharged his energy?

The action could theoretically have had good intentions behind it. So maybe…

Yet I never learned the exact details. Scarlet died without revealing her motives. Our group of heroes in general, but Braham in particular, simply had no interest in this story. And that annoys me.

I still feel like I’ve missed an epic moment in the story. And unfortunately, the brilliant final battle with Mordremoth, introduced in 2015 with the expansion Heart of Thorns, cannot compensate for that.

Have you ever experienced such a moment in gaming that still occupies you years later? Or were you perhaps there live in 2014? Feel free to share it in the comments.

In a few weeks, the story in Guild Wars 2 will take entirely new paths. The new expansion Secrets of the Obscure will be released:

15 tips you should know as a beginner in Pokémon GO

Franzi Korittke 2. July 2023 Reading time 10 minutes

For those who want to get started with Pokémon GO to catch the little pocket monsters, there are a few things to consider. We at MeinMMO provide you with 15 tips to protect you from nasty mistakes, especially at the beginning.

Who are our tips for? The mobile game Pokémon GO is already 7 years old this year. Nevertheless, the little pocket monsters continue to delight various age groups, which is why the game keeps attracting new players.

However, there is more to the game than just catching a few Pokémon, as you can make some mistakes, especially at the beginning. Therefore, we show you 15 tips on the following three pages so that you won’t make these mistakes as beginners.

[toc]

1. Set the right login credentials

What should you consider? One of the first things you need to do to log into Pokémon GO is to create login credentials. Here you can select the common portals such as Google, Apple, or Facebook and connect in this way. However, instead of logging in with your normal login credentials, you should preferably create a so-called Trainer Club account.

This is an account provided to you by the Pokémon Company. Don’t forget to set a second in-game account afterwards.

If there are problems with logging in, such as due to server issues of a provider or because the access was interrupted, you have the option to log in nonetheless and access the game.

What benefits does the Trainer Club access bring? With the Trainer Club access, you can not only easily log into the game, but you can also participate in Pokémon competitions in real life. For instance, you can register for the Pokémon World Championships through it.

However, connecting to this account is only possible during the installation of the game. Unfortunately, the access cannot be stored in Pokémon GO afterwards.

2. Choose your starter Pokémon

Which monsters are available? The most important decision after the initial start of the game is the choice of a starter Pokémon.

You have access to the first generation monsters on the map: Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. However, those who know the anime are aware that Ash did not receive any of the three and was instead given Pikachu. This is also possible in Pokémon GO.

How to get Pikachu? If you prefer to secure a Pikachu instead of the actual starter Pokémon, you should leave Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle behind. However, the game stubbornly tries to push them on you again and again. If you ignore them four times in a row, your desired Pikachu will finally spawn. Catch it, and your adventure can begin.

3. Catch monsters & fill your PokéDex

What should you consider? Once you have successfully logged in and chosen a starter Pokémon, you can finally start searching for the little pocket monsters and catch them. At first, you should try to catch everything that crosses your path.

This way, you not only collect entries in your PokéDex, but also earn candies, valuable stardust, and important experience points (EP). You will need these later in the game for level-ups and evolutions. Additionally, you can also get strong or shiny specimens this way.

Use the “Nearby” function: Furthermore, you can see Pokémon that you have not yet registered in your PokéDex through the “Nearby” function. This is located in the bottom right corner of your map and shows new monsters as dark shadows. If you click on them, it will show you where they are located, and you can navigate to them.

Regional Pokémon: Over time, you will notice that there are also a number of monsters that you cannot find in your area. In Pokémon GO, there are also regional Pokémon. These can only be found in certain parts of the world.

If you want to have these, you need to either travel there or let a friend who has one of them trade with you. Alternatively, you can wait for special events, as all monsters usually appear briefly in our regions at some point.

4. Evaluate your monsters before sending them away

What are trainers doing wrong here? If you have been diligently catching monsters, your storage will quickly be full – time to send monsters away. One thing that many beginners do not know until someone finally tells them is that you can evaluate Pokémon.

Many initially only look at the CP display above the Pokémon or see the existing HP and then evaluate whether a monster seems to be good or bad. But that is the completely wrong approach. While these are important metrics in the game, they can be altered by power-ups.

The IV of a monster is much more important for determining whether it is strong or weak.

How to find the IV? Before you send away a valuable monster just because it has a low CP number, you should evaluate your monsters correctly. To do this, click on the respective monster and open the menu in the bottom right corner. Now click on Evaluate.

Here you will see an analysis showing you how good it is in each area (attack, defense, and stamina). To better assess this, the stars above help you. For raids, a monster with 4 stars is best. It has all bars completely filled and thus an IV of 100%. However, these are not easy to come by, and therefore, they are correspondingly valuable.

Use filters and tags: To sort your monsters even faster, there are tag and filter functions in the game that you should use. This way, you can directly search for all monsters that have a rating of 2 stars or worse using the “0*,1*,2*” filter. Now you can select unwanted specimens and send them away all at once.

Simply press and hold the Pokémon momentarily to mark it. The tags also allow you to assign Pokémon to different categories. This is particularly helpful if you want to send them away later or keep them for a friend’s trade.

5. Choose the right team

Which team is the right one? Once you reach level 5, you will be prompted to choose a team when clicking on an arena. The options are Team Valor (red), Team Mystic (blue), and Team Intuition (yellow). Additionally, there is the unofficial Team Harmony.

Depending on how you decide, you will represent this color in the future and conquer arenas with it. However, your choice should be well thought out, as you can only change your team once a year with an expensive team medallion.

So don’t just randomly choose a color but also consider the colors of the existing players. If a color is predominantly present, it may take a long time until you receive your coins from arenas, especially in rural areas, because they are not emptied as often.

In this case, it may make sense to choose another color to benefit yourself and your teammates.

We will show you more tips for beginners on the next page.

Diablo 4: A bug turns the most harmless enemy into a deadly trap

Niko Hernes 2. July 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In Diablo 4 there are many enemies that can kill you quickly or unexpectedly. Actually, the treasure goblin is not one of them. However, due to a bug, suddenly appearing treasure goblins are the surprising end for many players.

What are treasure goblins? Actually, as a player in Diablo 4, you are happy about the treasure goblins. They can spawn randomly and drop a large amount of loot upon defeat. They don’t really fight back but try to flee from you. If you are too slow, they disappear through a portal.

As we reported, a hardcore player died to such a goblin. He easily killed the enemy, but the ability Death Pulse thwarted his plans. This ability spawns a lightning field on the ground that deals damage.

The level 85 sorceress of the streamer died immediately, and he had no chance to react. Due to the hardcore mode he was playing, his highly advanced character was lost forever. You can learn more about it here:

Diablo 4: The weakest enemy defeats hardcore players at level 85, destroying all their progress

Autoplay

It is probably a dangerous bug for players

Many players consider the combination of Death Pulse and treasure goblins to be a bug. In the official Blizzard forums, players share their stories about this combination and find the one-shot that their characters receive unusual.

faraddox: I had full health and shield because I hadn’t taken any damage. At the moment he died, my character died too.

The user suspects that Death Pulse from the goblin would deal much more damage than it actually should. The user especially reports that in his hall of the fallen heroes, an unknown enemy is said to have killed his character. This also suggests a bug.

What does Blizzard say about it? As Kotaku reports, it is indeed a bug and Blizzard is aware of the issue. The error is supposed to be fixed in one of the upcoming patches before the start of the first season.

On the other hand, there is probably the most dangerous enemy in Diablo 4. The Butcher is actually a dangerous encounter, but players can trick the boss easily:

The most vicious enemy in Diablo 4 has already killed 5 million players, but one defeats him every time – with a box

Man lets his wife play Diablo 4, now he fears never getting his PC back

Jasmin Beverungen 1. July 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Do you know the situation when someone wants to “just quickly” try out your latest game, and then they just can’t stop playing? That’s exactly what happened to a man who showed his wife Diablo 4. She is now so excited that he fears he won’t be able to use his PC for a long time.

What happened? A woman watched her husband playing Diablo 4. Normally, she is more of a casual gamer, having only gathered experience with Hogwarts Legacy and similar games, but somehow she was fascinated by the demon-slaying while watching.

So he lets his wife use his PC and returns after a while. In the meantime, she has already reached the first boss and even defeated him with a satisfied “Hehh”.

The man shares his experiences on Reddit:

How did the story end? The husband feared that his wife would never get away from the PC. Perhaps he did not expect that she would become so immersed in the game and excited about it.

After more than an hour, she was still transfixed in front of the PC. One hour turned into two hours. But eventually, she had to end the game and told her husband how great she found it.

When going to bed, the husband wanted to explain to his wife how to set up her own account in Diablo 4 to explore the adventure herself. But he had miscalculated: She made it clear to him that HE needed to get a new account, as she would not start over.

Maybe the man will still get to close the basements for his wife from time to time:

What do other users say about the story? In the comments, some users advise him to buy a Steam Deck. However, not for his wife, but rather for himself, as the users assume that the PC has now transitioned into her possession.

This is how you get Diablo 4 running on the Steam Deck

User Necronomis suggests that he should build a PC for his wife right away. Whether it’s a PC, laptop, or handheld, he is optimistic that the man has now found a lasting gaming companion in his wife.

Alternatively, there is the option for both of them to play couch co-op. User BostonBrandToots, for example, lets his wife handle the side quests and visit shrines while he takes care of other tasks.

Other players report that their partners level up the characters so much that they have to catch up first. Probably the MeinMMO guide would help them to quickly catch up: Diablo 4: Level up quickly – Guide up to level 100

Pokémon GO: The 18 strongest Shadow Pokémon for Raids

Max Handwerk 1. July 2023 Reading time 5 minutes

In Pokémon GO you can cause a lot of damage with Crypto Pokémon. But which ones are the best? We show you the strongest Raid attacker by type.

What makes Cryptos strong? You get the Crypto Pokémon by challenging Grunts or leaders of Team Rocket, or by completing Crypto Raids.

The special thing is: These monsters have a 20 percent attack bonus compared to their normal variant, but this comes with a nerf to their defensive values.

This means: They hit hard, but cannot take as much damage. Additionally, each Crypto monster automatically has the useless move “Frustration”. You have to get rid of it and replace it with a better move.

You can do this either at Rocket events or via a detour using a second move.

With the right moves, however, the Crypto monsters can count among the best attackers in Pokémon GO. This, in turn, can be very useful in raids.

We present the best Crypto by type here.

You get Cryptos from the Rockets:

Autoplay

The best Crypto Pokémon by type

How is the list created? In this list, we show you the strongest Crypto Raid attacker by type using calculations from the platform “Gamepress.gg”. Both damage and monster endurance are taken into account.

Keep in mind: The Crypto does not have to be the best attacker of its type. If it is surpassed by other monsters, we mention it here.

Psycho – Crypto-Mewtwo

No surprise here, Crypto-Mewtwo is already at the top of the attacker list in Pokémon GO and thus also a top choice among the Psycho type. It is currently not available in the game but was previously obtainable through Giovanni and Crypto Raids.

Moveset: Confusion and Psystrike

Steel – Crypto-Metagross

And no surprise here either: Crypto-Metagross is already one of the top attackers and thus dominates the Steel type.

Attacks: Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash

Dark – Crypto-Tyranitar

The move change at Tyranitar has significantly improved the old favorite, Crypto-Tyranitar is now ranked number 1 among all Dark attackers. Crucial for this: The move Dark Pulse.

Moveset: Bite and Dark Pulse

Rock – Crypto-Tyranitar

Another double: Tyranitar is not only the top choice as a Dark attacker but also as a Rock attacker. Focus here on the appropriate attacks. However, it is still surpassed by Mega-Aerodactyl and Rampardos.

Moveset: Rock Slide and Stone Edge

Dragon – Crypto-Dragonite

Even among the dragons, a Crypto is in first place among all attackers: Crypto-Dragonite is even slightly more powerful than its own Mega variant. Shortly behind, Crypto-Dragonair and -Garchomp also appear.

Moveset: Dragon Tail and Outrage

Ground – Crypto-Mamoswine

In the Ground type, Crypto-Mamoswine and -Garchomp are closely competing for the title of best Crypto, with Mamoswine currently likely edging out. Still at the top of the list is Proto-Groudon.

Moveset: Mud-Slap and Superpower

Ice – Crypto-Mamoswine

In the Ice category, Crypto-Mamoswine is also leading, in fact, it is the undisputed number one including non-Cryptos. A moveset change compared to Ground is necessary.

Moveset: Powder Snow and Avalanche

Fighting – Crypto-Machamp

Machamp is and remains a classic, especially in the Crypto variant. Currently, only Terrakion and Mega-Blaziken surpass it in the Fighting type.

Moveset: Counter and Dynamic Punch

Electric – Crypto-Raikou

Crypto-Raikou is the second best Electric attacker behind Mega-Voltenso, but is currently unavailable. It was available for a while through Giovanni. When and if it returns is uncertain.

Moveset: Thunder Shock and Volt Switch

Fairy – Crypto-Guardivor

Guardivor is the measure of all things in the Fairy category. The Crypto version is ranked second among the best attackers of the type, only surpassed by Mega-Guardivor.

Moveset: Charm and Fairy Wind

Bug – Crypto-Pinsir

Crypto-Pinsir is currently the strongest Rocket monster in the Bug category, but Crypto-Scyther is close. However, it is surpassed by other bugs, such as Shuckle or the rare Ramoth, as Mega evolutions also surpass it. Overall, Bug is not very useful in raids.

Moveset: Bug Bite and X-Scissor

Fire – Crypto-Lavados

Crypto-Lavados is among the Legendary Pokémon and was available through Giovanni. It is currently unavailable, but after Crypto-Articuno was recently in Crypto Raids, it would at least be conceivable that Lavados will follow suit. However, it is still surpassed by monsters such as Reshiram, Mega-Charizard, and Mega-Blaziken.

Moveset: Fire Spin and Overheat

Flying – Crypto-Lavados

Indeed, Crypto-Lavados is also the best Crypto here and at the same time the number 1 among Flying attackers. You just need to adjust the moveset.

Moveset: Wing Attack and Sky Attack

Ghost – Crypto-Banette

Among the Cryptos, Banette leads in the Ghost category. However, various other monsters are stronger, such as Gengar, Mega-Gengar, Skelabra, Giratina, and Hoopa.

Moveset: Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball

Water – Crypto-Swampert

Crypto-Swampert is extremely popular in the PvP League but also has the potential to deal a lot of damage in raids if the opponent is weak to water. Surpassed only by Mega evolutions for Blastoise and itself, or Proto-Kyogre.

Moveset: Water Gun and Hydro Pump

Grass – Crypto-Tangrowth

A monster you might not think about is Crypto-Tangrowth. It performs well among the best grass attackers, surpassed only by Mega-Venusaur, Mega-Sceptile, and the Ultra Beast Katagami. A good option.

Attack: Leaf Blade and Flora Statue

Poison – Crypto-Venipede

With the right moves, Crypto-Venipede is a good Poison attacker but is surpassed by Mega-Gengar, -Beedrill, and Anego. Overall, Poison is also a rather unimportant type for raids.

Moveset: Sludge and Mud Bomb

Normal – Crypto-Porygon-Z

Porygon-Z takes the top spot but is negligible. With Normal types, you are usually poorly advised in raids.

Moveset: Hyper Beam and Tri Attack

Pedro Pascal forgot that he got the lead role in the series ‘The Last of Us’

Marie Friske 1. July 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Pedro Pascal plays Joel Miller, one of the main roles in the video game adaptation of The Last of Us. However, the actor forgot that he was cast in the HBO hit. He shared how it happened in a talk show.

Pedro Pascal has now become one of the top stars in Hollywood, with several successful roles to look back on. Whether as the Mandalorian or Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones, the actor is celebrated by many fans.

In the HBO hit The Last of Us, he received one of the main roles as Joel Miller. However, the actor once forgot about his role commitment, as he laughingly recounted.

Here you can see a trailer for the Last of Us series featuring Pedro Pascal as Joel:

“What are you talking about? We called you and told you that you got the job.”

In the talk show “The Graham Norton Show”, the actor explained in February 2023 how he completely forgot that he was cast in the HBO series The Last of Us.

The actor shares that he was in London for a job. Then everything happened quite quickly: he read the scripts and exchanged ideas with the key people in the project.

For this, Pascal had to stay awake deep into the night, as the project leads were in L.A. After that, the actor was very excited about the prospect of the role in The Last of Us.

To calm down, he took a sleeping pill. He expected to receive a call the next day about whether he had gotten the role or not.

But then the phone rang. A bit hazy from the pill, the actor answered.

They called me to tell me that I got the job, but I had already taken the pill […]

I remember reacting like this: “Oh my God!”, and then apparently a few minutes passed on the phone and I was like: “So how does it look, did I get the job?”
Pedro Pascal via YouTube

The caller then replied confused: “What are you talking about? We called you and told you that you got the job.” Pascal responded with: “Oh, did you?”

The actor then clarified to the caller that he had just taken a sleeping pill.

The next day, the actor woke up… and wondered again if he had gotten the job in The Last of Us. Pascal prepared himself to wait all day for a call about whether he had gotten the role of Joel Miller or not.

However, later, when people congratulated him via message for his role, the actor recalled the commitment and was happy about his big project (via YouTube).

In the same clip, the star also admitted that he did not know the game The Last of Us before he got the job opportunity.

Only through his two nephews did he learn more about it, both of whom immediately urged him to participate in the video game adaptation.

Another role of Pedro Pascal led to a strange photo request from fans, which was incredibly embarrassing for the actor afterwards:

The reveal trailer for the new sci-fi game ‘Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth’ promises a dark atmosphere and builds great anticipation for the upcoming game in the community.

Annapurna Interactive gave us in 2022 as a publisher the popular cat adventure Stray, where you play as a stray animal searching for a family while encountering various futuristic city dwellers.

Now Annapurna Interactive announced that the own game studio will release a new sci-fi game, titled Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth.

Here you can see the reveal trailer for Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth:

Diablo 4: New hotfix addresses crashes and includes secret changes to the Hunter

Niko Hernes 1. July 2023 Reading time < 1 minutes

With patch 1.03, a big update for Diablo 4 was released at the beginning of the week. Now the small hotfix 1.0.3a has been released, which addresses crashes and a faulty achievement. However, apparently there is also a change to a Hunter’s ability hidden in the hotfix.

What has changed? According to the site Wccftech, the following has been adjusted:

Several bugs that caused the game client to crash have been fixed.
Additionally, the achievement Epic Adventurer is now correctly unlocked.

However, according to the official website, the hotfix only pertains to the PC version of the game and not to the console version.

Blizzard’s Community Development Director Adam Fletcher wrote about the hotfix on Twitter the following:

It’s a small PC client patch for Diablo 4. It addresses various crash reports we’ve observed since 1.0.3. The team will continue to monitor user crash reports.

The pace of various hotfixes and patches for Diablo 4 has been really good so far. Even if many changes don’t please the players:

Was anything else changed? As reported by the site Wowhead, a Hunter ability was also adjusted, which is not mentioned in the patch notes.

The critical hit rate of Deathtrap has increased from 4% to 8% due to the hotfix.

This is a minor change for a Hunter’s ability. Patch 1.0.3 at the beginning of the week, on the other hand, brought a lot of buffs and changes for all classes and their builds. You can find the complete patch notes here:

Settlers Creator shows first gameplay of its new game – expert predicts construction hit on Steam if it continues like this

Niko Hernes 1. July 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Pioneers of Pagonia will make many Settlers fans happy on Steam. A well-known and experienced developer who was involved with one of the pioneers of the Settlers series is also participating in this project. However, the game does not want to rest on its old virtues but aims to bring innovations to the genre.

What is Pioneers of Pagonia?

Pioneers of Pagonia is a city-building simulation, in the spirit of the Settlers series.
A new trailer shows first gameplay that raises hopes for an upcoming hit.
You manage villages and their inhabitants, trying to optimize various production chains and further develop your village.
According to Steam, the release is targeted for late 2023.
Developer Volker Wertich, a true veteran of the genre, is involved. He worked on the first and third parts of the Settlers series.
He was also involved in the latest part of the Settlers series, “The Settlers: New Alliances,” but left the studio in 2020 during development.

Currently, he and the studio Envision Entertainment are working on Pioneers of Pagonia. Hopefully, this German game project develops better than the disastrous release of another German studio.

Maurice Weber, perhaps the best-known German expert on city-building games, sees several signs that it will be better than the last disappointing part of the Settlers series.

He analyzes the first gameplay trailer and praises, among other things, the attention to detail. You can see the full commentary:

Your people must make you happy

What does Pioneers of Pagonia offer? Unlike other genre representatives, you don’t have to make the villagers happy, but the other way around. As Volker Wertich says in an interview with PCGamer:

In our game, you do not have to make the [villagers] happy, but the people have to make you [the player] happy. That is the basic idea.

An interesting approach since many other city-building simulations rely on the mood of the villagers. The game also offers other features:

The beloved Wuselfaktor is present
Thousands of inhabitants
Endless variations of maps
Colonization of islands
Over 40 building types and more than 70 goods
Online co-op
Beautiful cel-shading graphics

You also have to fend off dangers in the form of bandits, wild animals, or mysterious mythical creatures like werewolves.

Here you can watch the new trailer with gameplay scenes:

Impending Netflix change causes unrest in the community: “They are getting greedy”

Marie Friske 1. July 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Recently, the basic subscription was removed from the Netflix offering in Canada, which the community is not happy about. However, this change could also soon be implemented in Germany.

The basic subscription of Netflix is being eliminated in Canada. It cost 9.99 Canadian dollars and allowed streaming on one device at the same time.

So if you are using Netflix alone, you have either the cheaper option, which includes ads (standard subscription with ads), or you pay 5 € more monthly for the standard subscription. It is suspected that this change is a hidden price increase.

Here you will find a detailed explanation of the subscription options currently available at Netflix in Germany and who is particularly affected by the removal of the basic subscription.

How does the community react to the removal of the subscription model in Canada? Under various posts by CTV News and CTV Edmonton as well as reddit there are numerous negative reactions to the removal of the option.

Some users fear that this change might come to them as well. Many said they would cancel their subscription if further price increases occurred, while others have already canceled their subscription because they believe the platform has become “too greedy”.

Other users give tips on which streaming platform they would recommend as an alternative.

RevWhalen: “If they increase the price any further, it will be goodbye Netflix in this household”
berfthegryphon: “Apple probably has the highest quality library of all the streaming platforms I know, and that’s most of them available in Canada. I kept it after Ted Lasso ended because they have great shows.”
JusticeBaoBao: “I just canceled Netflix. They are getting greedy.”

Netflix had already increased prices earlier this year in May and started charging for additional households on one account. You can find more about this here with our colleagues at Gamepro.

Will the basic subscription soon be eliminated for us as well? Currently, there is no official information from Netflix on whether the removal of the basic subscription is also planned in Germany.

However, early signs suggest that this change could come to us as well. If you sign up for a Netflix subscription, the basic subscription is only shown after an additional click; it is somewhat hidden.

This implies that Netflix may want to make the model less visible compared to the other three subscriptions, so fewer people should choose it. A complete removal of the option is thus conceivable.

Steam: After 22,000 hours, a player finds all boss items worldwide as the 1st person in his MMORPG

Schuhmann 1. July 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

A player has managed to find all items in the MMORPG Oldschool Runescape (Steam) that can drop from bosses. He is the first person to have done this. The player Bazilijus worked on it for 3 years, since the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in 2020. His character has a total of 22,000 hours of playtime.

Oldschool Runescape is a successful MMORPG that represents an earlier version of the original MMORPG, similar to WoW Classic. It reflects about Runescape in 2007.

This is what the player has accomplished:

In the online role-playing game, there is a list called the “Boss Log”: This list counts the bosses in the game and which items you have already received from them.
If you have received all items that the boss can possibly drop, that entry in the list turns green.
A player has now become the first person in the world to turn the entire boss list green. He reported this euphorically on June 26.

Autoplay

What were the toughest bosses? It is estimated that the player had to kill a boss in Runescape about 150,000 times to obtain all items. The task is purely dependent on luck and a test of patience. The items from the bosses have a very low drop chance, so it may require many, many kills to find a specific item that is still missing from a boss.

The boss that the player had to kill the most was Callisto, a magically enhanced bear. The patient MMORPG player had to kill him 10,001 times to check off all items on the loot list that Callisto drops.

The last item he received was the “Inquisitor Mace” from Phsani’s Nightmare; this boss was only added to the game in June 2021.

The last missing item he received on June 26, 2023. Solely to fulfill this part of the boss log, it is said that he spent about 1,000 hours.

A lot of patience and frustration tolerance required for success

How long did he work on it? In total, the character spent 919 days, about 22,000 hours, in OldSchool Runescape. But this particular loot list, which he saw as a challenge, was only introduced in 2018. Bazilijus only really started hunting the items with the outbreak of the Corona pandemic in 2020.

As GamesRadar knows, he was quite good with 3 years of effort. Another player tried (via reddit) to fill the collection for a single boss, Kree’arra, and alone managed to accumulate 19,000 kills just to get all 8 possible items.

Bazijlus was able to leave the boss behind after just 2,613 kills. What a lucky player.

Runescape is really a game where players push their limits, with chances that are incredibly low, but eventually, even the most unlikely event can happen:

Escape from Tarkov will ban anyone who knows too much and talks about it – Players protest

Schuhmann 1. July 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The shooter “Escape from Tarkov” (PC) is considered a brutal experience that tests the nerves. The developers release very few details. Dataminers like the Twitch streamer LogicalSolution provide the community with information. But that is supposed to stop now, immediately if it were up to the developers. The only source of information about Tarkov they want to be themselves. Everyone else is threatened with bans.

This is the situation:

Escape from Tarkov is considered chronically secretive. The developers BSG release very few details, much is done in secret. While games like League of Legends provide exact percentages when they adjust balance, this is not the case with Tarkov. They only announce that something has been changed.
However, there is clarity from dataminers. People like LogicalSolution provide players with the details and information that the developers withhold from them. If a patch changes the damage of a weapon, then the dataminers state: The damage increases by 3 points.
Exactly this is what the dataminers are supposed to stop now.

Start video

Escape from Tarkov Gameplay – Battle for Concordia

Datamining and leaks ruin the “wow” effect, should stop

This is the message from Tarkov: In a statement from June 23, the developers say (via twitter):

Datamining is the “illegal infiltration” of a game to extract information that should remain hidden from users
If players knew the percentage chance of a boss spawn or the conditions under which it spawns, it would reduce the “wow effect” and make the game more predictable – That is not what they want
The developers want to use teasers to interest players for upcoming updates. This helps to foster hype. If a dataminer reveals what is coming next with leaks, it undermines that hype.
Anyone wanting information about the game should use the wiki instead of getting all the information from dataminers on day one of an update.
From now on, they will ban anyone who shares information obtained through datamining.

Hardcore shooter without mercy leaves everything behind on Twitch – Where does the hype for Escape from Tarkov come from?

How is this viewed? The reaction is rather negative. Some players would like these detailed information and say: If you do not provide it, we will get it elsewhere.

The ban on datamining and the “We will ban everyone” statement is another example that the developers are opposing the community.

Dataminers like LogicalSolution would make the game better. Without such information, Escape from Tarkov is hardly playable.

In any case, the developers should focus on cheaters rather than going after dataminers.

The dataminer says he now wants to work on building a good relationship with the developers.

It seems like he has no other choice.

In the space RPG Starfield there will be a frightening weapon that has 25 barrels

Dariusz Müller 1. July 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

A developer of Starfield spoke in an interview about a weapon that comes with a special design.

On September 6, 2023, the latest role-playing game from Bethesda, Starfield, will be released for Xbox Series X|S and PC. Now, Dane Olds, Starfield’s “Lead Weapon Artist,” spoke in a developer interview about his favorite weapons in the highly anticipated role-playing game. One special rifle stands out.

What kind of weapon is it? One weapon that Olds particularly highlights in the interview is the “Mag Pulse.” According to Olds, it is a magnetically driven weapon that has a grid of a total of 25 barrels.

Moreover, each barrel has its own targeting laser that indicates where the bullet from that barrel will hit (via bethesda.net).

In a highly praised gameplay presentation of Starfield, we already saw some of these magnetic weapons with a variety of barrels in action. In the video, they stood out especially due to the immense number of bullets that rained down on the NPC enemies in a very short time.

Additionally, the weapons shown in the deep dive had massive magazines holding between 50 to 160 rounds and could also be equipped by enemy NPCs.

Rocket Launchers and Revolvers

Does Olds talk about other weapons too? Yes, Olds says he also had a lot of fun with the rocket launcher “The Bridger” as well as a revolver named “The Razorback.” This weapon has a drum with six “White Hot Rounds.” Olds used the Razorback when he wanted to feel like a space cowboy.

Additionally, Olds mentions a weapon called “AA99” that feels “bulky and cool.” However, he did not specify what exactly the AA99 is. He can’t wait to show all the weapons from the role-playing game to the fans.

Huge flop leads to a German game studio not making its own games anymore

Niko Hernes 1. July 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Daedalic is a German studio, which is mainly known for point-and-click adventures. Their attempt to develop a Gollum game with the Lord of the Rings license failed miserably and the game was a huge flop. Now the studio is closing its development department.

Who is Daedalic Entertainment? Daedalic is a Hamburg-based studio that became famous for point-and-click adventures like Edna bricht aus or Deponia.

This year saw the release of a huge blockbuster in the form of Gollum. A 3D action-adventure in the Lord of the Rings universe. The game was released on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.

What happened? Instead of being a huge success, the game disappointed and had a catastrophic launch. Both from a technical and gameplay perspective, the game did not convince. A tough release considering how big the license is. It was so bad that Daedalic even apologized:

At least one player is having a lot of fun with the game:

What happens now? Daedalic will stop developing games themselves and will focus only on publishing other games. Games like Unrailed or Shadow Tactics belong to their publishing portfolio.

As GamesWirtschaft reports, 25 of the 90 employees will lose their jobs. The second game in the Lord of the Rings universe will also be canceled. The survival spinoff Surviving Deponia will be released normally, as it is not developed by Daedalic.

For the German gaming market, this is of course a hard blow, as one of the larger German developers is lost with Daedalic. In the indie sector, however, German developers are achieving success:

Diablo 4: Starting a second character before Season 1 was the best decision ever

Benedict Grothaus 1. July 2023 Reading time 4 minutes

Diablo 4 has been playable for a month now. MyMMO editor Benedict Grothaus has been playing diligently like hundreds of thousands of other players until a “wall” eventually came. His decision: a new character is needed, and that changed everything.

I had a lot of fun with my first character. With my sorceress, I experienced Diablo 4 anew, checked out all the endgame content, and spent hours tweaking builds until I was finally satisfied with my strong Blizzard build.

However, it got quite tedious after level 70. By the way, many people feel the same way, because at this level there is a thick “loot wall” that significantly slows down improvements. But here, only the hardcore grind matters.

Even so, I actually enjoyed that, but there was one big problem: The nightmare dungeons, where most of the endgame grind is supposed to occur, just weren’t really worth it. I had a lot of fun, but they were too hard for what they provided. Or rather, what they didn’t provide.

With the first major patch, nightmare dungeons became more rewarding, granting more XP and hosting more enemies. So, I told myself until then: before I burnout and grind myself into the ground, I’ll wait for the patch and check out a new class.

Best decision.

I was very satisfied with my sorceress, but my new barbarian is just as much fun. Here’s my Blizzard build from the main:

Start video

Explore the whole world without “obligations”

After completing the campaign, any character can skip it and start in “Adventure” mode. Here, all capitals are unlocked, and you can complete the “Bounties” from the whispering tree, grind dungeons, search for world bosses, and more.

Unlike the first playthrough, there are hardly any limits. Aside from the fact that enemies in certain areas have a higher “minimum level,” the whole world is open. This means for me, I don’t have to follow the story, I can do what I want.

I started a barbarian as a second character. It is considered quite bad at the beginning. For me, that wasn’t the case, because through my main, I had already gained significant stat boosts and skill points through realm progression. The start is much easier.

My focus was much more on gameplay during the second playthrough. I paid more attention to how I perceive the world, what I actually want to do when there is no story.

This is how I discovered Diablo 4 anew. Instead of following the slow Lorath or breaking Elias’ nose for the 12th time, or falling in love with Lilith again and then having to betray her, I simply go beat up demons. That’s what you ultimately play Diablo for.

And that’s not even the biggest advantage.

When leveling again, I was also able to put our own tips to the test and am extremely satisfied:

Everything I get helps my main

Since I have already completed everything that one “must” do with my sorceress, I was able to focus on the essentials with the barbarian, which is: looting and leveling. And here comes the system of shared loot for all characters into play:

I collect tons of obols from events with the new character gathering
almost all found gear goes to the blacksmith for massive crafting resources
other, rare materials like ground beast bones are farmed incidentally by the second character in dungeons

More on the topic

I am now in the endgame of Diablo 4 and am more excited about “yellow” items than about legendarys

You can find the best builds in the tier list for Diablo 4.

As a nice extra, there are also a few new titles. I actually thought this feature was pretty dumb, but since my sorceress can be a deadly spider, I’m always looking for new, cool combinations. That’s why I play my barbarian Brigitte, the brutal brutalist… even if it’s rather because a colleague really likes alliteration and I wanted to make him smile.

I’ve almost completely filled the Codex of power now, mostly by just leveling. For new bounties from the whispering tree, I always selected the dungeons whose aspect I have not yet received. This makes it much easier to build for all classes later if I want to play more.

The only disadvantage I have discovered so far is gems. I no longer collect them out of principle, but the ones my sorceress has left, I cannot equip due to being at too low a level. And gold unfortunately remains very scarce. That’s quite annoying especially at level 50 with the new character.

But just diving back into new class mechanics was a lot of fun for me, and I look forward to being able to do that again in Season 1. But right now, I don’t want to, so I can leave some new things for what’s to come.

And I still need to leave some expertise for the others in the team here, in case I don’t end up playing Diablo 4 like an MMO and stick with one hero:

Twitch streamer MontanaBlack says he can’t listen to a woman longer than 10 minutes: ‘Not meant to be discriminatory’

Lydia 1. July 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The 35-year-old Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris likes to spread his wisdom on the streaming platform Twitch. In a stream, he explained why he prefers to talk to men rather than women.

How did the statement come about? In a recent stream, MontanaBlack intended to respond to the documentary Pressure, Hate, Manipulation: How Does Germany’s Next Top Model Break People? on YouTube.

In the documentary, former contestants of the model casting show talk about their experiences behind the scenes. Some contestants recall a nice time, while others discuss how much the show has affected them.

However, for MontanaBlack, it quickly ended: He stopped watching the documentary. When prompted by a viewer, he explained that he just cannot listen to women for that long.

MontanaBlack Prefers Talking Man to Man and Thinks It’s Okay

What exactly did MontanaBlack say? The streamer explained that he was unable to listen to a documentary in which mostly women would talk for an hour. Listening to a woman for a while is possible, but it quickly becomes too much for him:

I can’t even manage to listen to a woman talk for 10 minutes in real life without eventually saying: “I want to get back to my PC.”

However, MontanaBlack immediately reassures: This is not meant to be discriminatory and has nothing to do with “woman-hating crap.”

The streamer simply prefers to have long conversations “man to man.”

I clearly enjoy a long conversation with a man much more than with a woman, and that’s perfectly okay.

How was that received? Some viewers predicted MontanaBlack would face another “shitstorm,” like with his infamous statement that women are like dogs from 2019. Even when he chased after women and commented on their looks with strange noises during his holiday in Malta in 2020, it didn’t go over well.

Trainer finds a bracelet in Pokémon GO, wonders ‘What is this?’

Franzi Korittke 1. July 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, a trainer accidentally discovers a mysterious ribbon among wild monsters and wonders what it is all about. We at MeinMMO show you what it is and what it brings you.

Which monsters are involved? In Pokémon GO, you can not only encounter monsters in your immediate vicinity, but also use the Nearby feature to see which specimens are at PokéStops in your area.

However, upon looking at this list, a trainer has noticed a mysterious ribbon that he had never seen before. Rightly, he wonders what it is all about. We have summarized exactly that for you below.

The ribbon is an important new feature

What exactly did the trainer discover? Usually, when looking at the list of monsters nearby, nothing extraordinary can be found. However, the Reddit user associategrean shows a picture in his post, where you can see a small ribbon, a kind of medal, next to the display of a Carnivine.

He writes (via reddit.com): What does the little ribbon (?) next to the Pokémon nearby mean? I’ve never seen it and couldn’t find any posts/comments about it.

What does the ribbon mean? Although trainers in the comments have various funny explanations for the little ribbon, it actually has a very important function that has only recently been added to the game.

It will be shown to you for the monsters in the Nearby feature that you still need to complete your collector challenge. This way, you can immediately recognize that you still need this Pokémon and, ideally, catch it at the displayed location.

Since Carnivine is part of the collector challenge for the Dark Flames event, it was displayed to the trainer accordingly. So the symbol actually shows no ribbon, but a medal that you can receive upon completing the challenge.
