Who is the Watcher? He is a mysterious Eridian who briefly appears in the Pre-Sequel. The Borderlands Wiki summarizes: The Watcher has the ability to look into the future and warn of dangers. For instance, Colonel Zarpedon was warned by him about Handsome Jack. He also saves Athena from execution by Lilith.

Above all, the Watcher warns the vault hunters about a massive impending war. He suggests that as many vault hunters as possible should be gathered for it. And that would certainly be a damn exciting setting for the fourth part of Borderlands.

But: Of course, so far everything is pure speculation. It remains to be seen which direction the game will take. However, it is expected to be released in 2025 – so let’s hope that further information will not take too long to arrive.

Speaking of information: At the gamescom ONL there were still plenty of other game trailers and announcements indicating what to expect in the coming weeks, months, and years. In the next few days, there will be more exciting streams and program points – for example, the FYNG show by GameStar, GamePro, and MeinMMO.

Guild Wars 2: Guide to Mounts 2024 – Update for Janthir Wilds

Alexander Leitsch 21. August 2024 Reading time 8 minutes

With the Path of Fire expansion, Guild Wars 2 received mounts. These are different creatures with unique abilities. We will introduce them to you and tell you how you can obtain the mounts.

What is special about the mounts in Guild Wars 2?

All mounts in Guild Wars 2 have different skills. While the Raptor can jump particularly far, the Springer can jump especially high. The Gryphon glides in the air, and the Skimmer floats above the water. Each mount thus has a special feature that makes it more useful in certain areas than others.

What mounts are available?

Guild Wars 2 currently offers ten different mounts:
– Raptor
– Springer
– Skimmer
– Jackal
– Gryphon
– Roller Beetle
– Warclaw
– Skyscale
– Siege Turtle
– Warclaw from Janthir Wilds

How do I get mounts?

This varies greatly. Some you get automatically through the story, others through heart quests. For Gryphon, Roller Beetle, Warclaw, Skyscale, and Siege Turtle, however, various collections must be completed.

How much do the mounts cost?

It varies. While the Raptor is completely unlocked for free, the Gryphon costs 250 gold. None of the mounts cost real money, but there are special skins that are only available in the shop.

Which mount is the hardest to obtain?

While the Gryphon costs a lot of gold, you have to complete many different tasks to obtain the Skyscale, which are also subject to time barriers. Both mounts are accordingly elaborate. Note that with Secrets of the Obscure, an alternative method for unlocking the Skyscale has been implemented, which is not as elaborate.

What are mount skins?

Each of the nine mounts has different skins. You can buy these for real money or in-game currency in the shop. For the Warclaw, there is a skin that can be earned. and a new system has now been introduced for the other mounts to obtain skins.

Note: This article was originally published in March 2020 and last updated on August 21, 2024. We fixed minor errors and included the new Warclaw mount from the Janthir Wilds expansion.

Raptor

What can the Raptor do? The Raptor is the second fastest mount on the ground and can jump extraordinarily far thanks to its special ability. Depending on the terrain, the Raptor can even become faster than the Jackal and is therefore the most commonly used by players.

Through the mastery, you improve its attack “Ravenous Strike,” pulling enemies together and learning to jump even further.

How do I get the Raptor? You automatically receive the Raptor when you complete the first story mission of Path of Fire titled “Igniting the Flame.”

Springer

What can the Springer do? The Springer is a mix between a rabbit and a kangaroo and is especially useful in areas with high mountains. It can jump extraordinarily high. The longer you charge the skill, the higher it bounces.

Through the masteries, you improve its skill “Cannonball,” take less fall damage, and learn to jump even higher.

How do I get the Springer? You obtain the Springer in the Desert Highlands, the second area of Path of Fire. There you need to complete the heart “Help in the vicinity of the High Jump Camp” and buy the Springer from the vendor for 50 trade contracts and 3 gold.

However, you need the Raptor at mastery level 3 as a prerequisite, as a large chasm separates you from the heart task.

Skimmer

Update 2021: By now, the Skimmer can even dive underwater. To do this, you need to complete a special quest called “Find Sibaha”. Here we explain what you need to do.

What can the Skimmer do? The Skimmer can simply hover over water, quicksand, and other deadly terrain. Therefore, it is also well suited for the wasteland and the sulfuric areas.

Through the mastery, you improve your skill “Barrel Roll,” can hover longer, and gain protection and swiftness when you dismount from one of your mounts.

How do I get the Skimmer? You can find the Skimmer in the Elon Riverlands, the third area of Path of Fire. There you need to complete the heart “Use a Skimmer to help with training on the farm.” After that, you can buy the mount for 50 trade contracts and 4 gold.

As a prerequisite, you need the Raptor at mastery level 3 to jump over the quicksand to the heart.

Jackal

What can the Jackal do? The Jackal is the fastest mount on the ground. Its special skill allows it to teleport over a short distance. Additionally, you can use sand portals with the Jackal, which can be found all over the Path of Fire maps and are usually associated with shortcuts or special achievements.

Through the masteries, you learn to dodge attacks while using the skill “Pounce” and gain a barrier. You will also unlock the sand portals.

How do I get the Jackal? You obtain the Jackal on the fourth map of Path of Fire, the Wasteland. There you need to complete the heart “Help Geiststorm Drojkor to gain control over the Jackals.” After that, you can buy the mount for 200 trade contracts and 20 gold from the vendor.

However, you will need the Raptor at mastery level 3 and the Skimmer also at mastery level 3 as prerequisites.

On the second page of the mount guide, you will find the four new and rarer mounts from Guild Wars 2. If you’re instead looking for current information on the upcoming expansion End of Dragons, you’ll find it here: Guild Wars 2: Everything we know about the new expansion End of Dragons.

WoW gets its 10th expansion, but Chris Metzen is already working on number 17

Cortyn 21. August 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

Chris Metzen is back on the World of Warcraft team. He is not only working on The War Within but has also been involved in many other expansions.

This Friday it will happen, then the Early Access launch of the new WoW expansion “The War Within” will start. In the run-up to this, Blizzard is releasing some discussions and interviews, including one with the story legend Chris Metzen. He has been back in the WoW team for some time and is responsible for the story of the Warcraft franchise.

He revealed that he is not only working on the World Souls saga but also already on some things that will come afterward.

Spoiler Alert: The interview with Chris Metzen contains mild spoilers about the upcoming plot of World of Warcraft.

Start video

WoW: The War Within – Shadows Beneath the Surface

Autoplay

This is how far Metzen plans ahead: The fact that the WoW developers are essentially already working concurrently on the next expansions is already known. It has also been revealed that there will be further WoW addons after the World Souls saga. However, Chris Metzen is already mentally in the future – very, very far into the future:

We are already planning [Patch] 13.1 and 13.2 and how they will go and connect with each other. […]

And without wanting to reveal too much, but we are already working on the next couple of [expansions] after that, up to the 17th. This keeps the assembly line running. It has been loud and clear that fans want more content and want it more regularly. In a way, we are planning so far ahead to ensure that everything serves a purpose in telling this much longer story.

So Chris Metzen is already working on the story for four more addons that take place after the World Souls saga.

The big “Sword Problem” will probably be solved only in 2028

What else did Metzen say? Another point in the conversation was the big sword that Sargeras drove into Azeroth at the end of “Legion”. It still remains embedded in the planet’s crust. When asked if there will be a quest to pull the sword out, Metzen said:

I’m glad you brought that up. Actually… the resolution to the sword that we started at BlizzCon, that is something for the 13th. We will build the road to that. […]

I would even say: You are not ready for this moment. And I’ll leave it at that. But it is a 13 thing.

When Metzen says “13,” he probably means version number 13. This would therefore be the expansion “The Last Titan,” which will mark the finale of the World Souls saga. If one assumes an addon release every 2 years, then the resolution of that will happen at the earliest in 2028.

Salanga from Pokémon GO is not only found in deserts, players report alternative catching locations

Xal’atath will stay with us for a long time

A concern that many fans had revolves around the fate of Xal’atath. It is often the case in World of Warcraft expansions that the initial villains die relatively quickly and are no longer present by the end of the expansion. This was the case with Gul’dan (Legion) but also with Raszageth (Dragonflight).

For Xal’atath, it seems to work out a bit differently, as Chris Metzen revealed that she will appear repeatedly in the story and then occasionally disappear from the scene:

[Xal’atath] is not a villain like Deathwing, who simply flies in, burns everything down, and you think, “Oh no.” […] She has been crafted in a way that we will be challenged by her and will encounter her multiple times throughout the saga. This is not a “once and gone” type, where you say, “Oh, she is just the raid boss.

She is meant to appear multiple times during the upcoming events and then disappear again.”

So anyone who was worried that the “Knife-Waifu” would only remain the opponent for a few patches can breathe a sigh of relief. It seems as though Xal’atath will stay with us for a long time. If you still don’t know who this dark lady is, we have the entire story of Xal’atath explained for you.

Pokémon GO: Find shows how Dynamax could look in the game

Paul Kutzner 21. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO there are already the first hints for the Dynamax feature. Data miners now show how the feature could look like.

What is Dynamax? Dynamax is a feature from the main games of the Pokémon series, where monsters transform into gigantic versions of themselves. This temporary transformation boosts the Pokémon.

Meanwhile, there are already the first hints that the Dynamax feature will also be introduced in Pokémon GO. Screenshots have now appeared on Reddit showing how the feature could look in Pokémon GO.

Autoplay

Big Monsters, Big Balls

What can be seen in the screenshots? Overall, there are 7 screenshots posted in the article on Reddit. Here, primarily situations related to catching the Dynamax monsters can be seen.

The first screenshot shows where the area for finding and participating in Dynamax encounters could be. There is a new tab named Power Spot in the area where you also find Pokémon nearby, raids, and routes.

It is noticeable that there are 3 displays in the upper area. The first is titled MP. This could refer to Max particles that are needed to participate in Dynamax encounters.

The second display includes a distance display, which could indicate that a certain number of kilometers must be covered for participation in a Dynamax encounter to be possible.

Additionally, there is a display indicating the time during which participation in Dynamax is possible. It could therefore be that, similar to normal raids, there is a certain period during which the raids take place.

The other screenshots show excerpts of how the catching screen for Dynamax could look. Particularly interesting is the 4th screenshot, which shows a powered-up ball with the message Poké Ball powered up!. How and in what form the balls can be powered up is not yet known.

How were the screenshots created? It is important to note that these are not official screenshots from Niantic. The images were created based on the existing information from findings by data miners.

In what form Dynamax ultimately lands in the game remains to be seen. As soon as there is further information on this, we will of course keep you updated.

Black Myth: Wukong offers outstanding graphics, great story, and exciting battles without melting your PS5

Christos Tsogos 21. August 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

Black Myth: Wukong was advertised as a high-resolution action RPG with a Chinese touch to mythology. Many fans were afraid the game might have poor performance on the PS5. That’s why I tested the game for 5 hours straight and I can tell you, it’s worth it.

Who is writing here? With over a thousand hours in “Dark Souls” titles and hundreds more in Souls-like games such as Nioh, Remnant, Lords of the Fallen, and more, our MeinMMO author Christos Tsogos boasts his expertise in this genre.

If it’s hard and frustrating, Christos will play and test it. That’s why Black Myth: Wukong, the new “Soulslike” from China, was the next game on the agenda. He wanted to know how well this graphical violence plays on the PS5 and whether it could be a competitor for other well-known brands. Here is his conclusion.

SPOILER WARNING: Occasionally, I will mention examples from the game. So if you want to play “blind,” you should stop reading here.

Start video

Black Myth: Wukong: The final trailer for the action RPG from China

Autoplay

Strong PS5 Performance and Immersive Atmosphere

How good/bad is Black Myth: Wukong? First of all, Black Myth: Wukong is really good, not only because of its story but also due to how the developers managed to create such a detailed game that doesn’t make your PS5 melt.

I played for 5 hours straight and 7 hours in total, and I was able to complete the first chapter of the story. The world is magical, the atmosphere is consistent, and the music and sound are immersive. Everything harmonizes together and lets you dive into ancient China.

As for the graphics, there are two settings you can choose from on the PS5:

Balanced: A compromise between more FPS and resolution
Performance mode: Lower FPS, better resolution
Quality mode: Lower FPS, better resolution

If you want to enjoy the game, you should play in performance mode. This way, the fights are nice and fluid at 60 FPS, and you can respond better to your opponents’ attacks. The loss in graphics quality is minimal.

During wild fights, I had hardly any graphical glitches, which really surprised me. Elden Ring at launch and even with its DLC struggled with performance, which is not the case with Wukong.

One Feature Saves the Clunky Combat System

Since we’re talking about combat, I have to split this section into their presentation and the actual fights you engage in. When fighting large story-relevant bosses, you feel like you’re in a movie. The fights then occasionally switch to cinematics where you simply stand and think “WOW, how intense is this?”

In the first major boss battle, Sun Wukong faced a giant army as well as the four elements and Erlang, the holy deity. Both fight at such a high level of power that they can destroy entire landscapes and sweep everyone away. That was purely a goosebump moment.

A short glimpse of that can be found here:

As for the actual fights, at the beginning it’s mainly just button smashing until you absorb spirits and gradually learn magic. Without this system, which somewhat resembles Nioh 2, Black Myth: Wukong would become boring over time, as you would always use the same combos – with some exceptions that come from skill points (but they are few).

von Benedict Grothaus

Conclusion: It’s Worth it, Even if It Doesn’t Reinvent the Wheel

Black Myth: Wukong offers something for every player. Whether you are looking for massive boss battles, exploring beautiful landscapes or experiencing a great story. The game offers all that and much more.

Moreover, the developers have implemented a kind of “lexicon” in the game where you can learn information and lore about the beings you have defeated. This is nicely integrated into the menu and is further complemented by the developers. Unfortunately, the collection is not yet complete at release, as the developers are still working on the translation of the writings.

However, it is definitely a beautiful game and especially interesting for those looking for a bit of variety from Elden Ring. However, do not expect an innovative game that reinvents the wheel, as Black Myth: Wukong has many similarities to games in the genre.

Pros

Offers great immersion
Exciting boss battles
Less punishing than Elden Ring (you don’t lose your souls)
Manageable build crafting
Lexicon for all lore fans
Stable 60 FPS, even with many details
Offers secrets

Cons

Limited combos
Environments often feel empty
Some graphical errors when you look closely
Boss focus points are sometimes not optimal

Besides our conclusion, the gaming community also has a strong opinion about the game, and they are visibly impressed by the performance. The game is so popular on Steam that it even managed to beat games like Counter-Strike 2 or Palworld in player peak: Over 1 million players on Steam: Black Myth Wukong even surpasses Elden Ring in popularity

Player buys expensive graphics card on Amazon – Experiences nasty surprise because he overlooks an important detail

Benedikt Schlotmann 21. August 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

A player wanted to buy a new graphics card and seized a particularly good deal. However, he didn’t pay close attention when making the purchase.

A graphics card is an important upgrade for a computer and unfortunately often very expensive. A player wanted to save money and took advantage of a special offer on Amazon. But when he accepted the package, it was empty. The image shows it on reddit.com.

The community quickly explains to him that the mistake is also his fault. Because instead of focusing on the good offer, he should have paid more attention to the seller.

What was the important detail? The player did not order his graphics card directly through Amazon, but from a third-party seller, who merely uses Amazon as a platform. Some explain that he probably fell for a scam and will neither see his money nor a graphics card. One person writes:

I just googled “TKF Electronics Store.” Dude, there was a whole thread in this sub about the same “deal” from the same scam shop, which by the way is based in India. Good luck! Due diligence pays off. You have been scammed and the cold, hard facts are that you will probably have to swallow that. Maybe your bank can help you with a chargeback?

Those who order directly from Amazon are usually safe

What should he have paid attention to? Anyone ordering on Amazon should ensure that “Sold and shipped by Amazon” is indicated at checkout. This way you can be sure that the package usually comes directly from Amazon’s warehouse. In this case, you also conclude the contract with Amazon.

What happens when you buy through a third-party seller? Then “Amazon is neither the buyer nor the seller of the seller’s items,” as Amazon itself explains on its own help page. The contracting party is the seller who uses Amazon as a platform.

According to Amazon, the Amazon A-to-Z Guarantee and the 30-day voluntary return policy still apply.

What’s the catch? The catch is that if shipping is not handled by Amazon but by an external provider, typically the sender and seller take on the responsibility instead of Amazon.

But even Amazon does not necessarily look inside boxes and check the products contained before they are shipped. This is repeatedly proven by players who receive fake products from Amazon.

What happens if something goes wrong? Amazon explicitly points this out as well: “If the seller does not participate in Amazon’s customer service, they also take care of their customer service.” This means that Amazon is also not involved in processing orders with sellers, and any issues must be addressed directly with the marketplace seller. And this is where the problems start, according to reddit.

Amazon does threaten to suspend selling accounts in the case of abuse, but that would probably be of little concern to fraudsters who ultimately use a hijacked customer account that supposedly sells goods but ends up not delivering. It gets really dangerous if you transfer money to an account outside of Amazon: You then receive a strange email from Amazon urging you to make a payment outside of Amazon. At that point, even Amazon cannot help you anymore.

Many from the community therefore explain to him that one should never buy very expensive products from a third-party seller. For cheap products, the damage is usually minor, so the effort is hardly worth it. But for a graphics card that costs more than 1,000 euros, one should indeed be more cautious. One person writes:

When it comes to more than 100 dollars, I only buy items that are sold and shipped by Amazon. […] For items not sold and shipped by Amazon, I would look at Micro Center.

WoW: Former Blizzard Developer Banned Addons in Raids – From Then On It Went Better

Cortyn 21. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Addon ban during raids in World of Warcraft? A developer enforced this and everything improved from then on.

If you want to participate in raids in World of Warcraft and don’t want to see them only at the “LFR” difficulty, you need to find a group or guild for that. Such groups often have some prerequisites, such as the use of certain addons to make fights easier.

However, not everyone has had good experiences with addons. In some cases, addons also make bad players even worse.

WoW: The War Within – Shadows Beneath the Surface

Autoplay

Who is Pirate Software? The streamer “Pirate Software” is actually named Jason Thor Hall. In the past, he has worked for companies like Amazon Games or Blizzard, usually responsible for security – such as players’ account security or tracking down bots and fraudsters. On YouTube, he is primarily known for his numerous short videos where he talks about peculiarities of the gaming industry or game development.

What did he say about addons? In one of his recent streams, Hall talked about the current pre-event for the new expansion The War Within and how much he enjoyed it. He then spoke about his WoW past and various experiences in the game’s raids. He had a strong opinion about interface addons:

One thing I did as a raid leader, since I was a raid leader for ages, was this:

The thing I found quite funny was: Many people use addons because they see the big streamers and endgame raiders using addons. And then [these players] use them incorrectly.

Many raiders who play at the top level use addons as a bonus, as an addition to their already high understanding of the video game. They know exactly what they are doing and why they are doing it. That’s why they use an addon to empower themselves. That’s a bonus effect.

Many new players do not have the understanding of the game that is needed. So they use addons as a crutch instead. The addon tells you how to play, rather than [they] understanding that the addon is supposed to have an additional effect. They use it to beat the whole game.

What I’ve found is that players who use addons in this way were really bad.

The consequence he drew as a raid leader was quite drastic. But it also brought him success:

I banned addons in the raid. And you know what happened next? We started defeating bosses we couldn’t defeat before because “the addon didn’t tell me to get out of the fire”.

That was the biggest lesson I learned while raiding and as a raid leader: You have to make sure that players have the basic skills to use the addons effectively.

Cortyn thinks: I can definitely understand the viewpoint of “Pirate Software.” Every now and then, you come across players who have a whole bunch of addons installed because “the pros have them too,” but are overwhelmed with the correct use of these addons. For example, they cannot properly categorize the warning sounds from boss mods or have even installed multiple addons for the same thing.

This leads to confusion and little clarity. A handful of addons are, in my opinion, indispensable for certain game content, but they only help if you understand the fundamental mechanics they are supposed to assist with. The best WoW addons are of little help if that understanding is lacking. Or how do you see it?

Civilization VII shows new trailer at gamescom, says: “This will be our biggest game”

Christoph Waldboth 21. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Civilization will soon receive its next installment. A new trailer was shown at Gamescom. Once again, players can build an empire, but the game is expected to be even bigger than its predecessors.

Webedia Gaming (GameStar, GamePro, MeinMMO) accompanies the big gaming event as the official media partner of Gamescom 2024.

What does the new trailer show? Fans of Civilization will be pleased with the images from the new trailer. Once again, you can lead your people through the centuries and build a true empire.

The trailer shows the beginnings of a people, the construction of cities, and various military units going head-to-head. All of this in the familiar hexagonal fields. The graphics are again quite colorful, featuring loving animations of the various units and figures.

Also, the cities and smaller details like wonders of the world already look impressive in the new trailer. You can see the Eiffel Tower, or even the launch of a rocket to the moon – likely another one of the possible victory options.

The developers reflect nostalgically

What else does the trailer tell? Right at the beginning, the developers speak up and take you back into the past. They talk about the creation of the first Civilization. According to the developers, it was created at a time when they were still figuring out what a video game could actually be.

The possibilities that the medium offered were still limited, yet the developers wanted to pack in as much as they could. That’s why they decided to incorporate the entire history of humanity into their game. The result was the first CIV, where you could build a great empire through the centuries.

CIV VII is expected to surpass its predecessors in terms of size and scope. We will find out what this looks like when the developers release more details about the game during Gamescom.

A legendary film series sacrificed 300 cars for a single scene, and you thought it was CGI

Christoph Waldboth 21. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Matrix Reloaded features one of the most impressive chase scenes ever seen in cinema. However, this required some sacrifices – including 300 cars that were destroyed for it.

Matrix Reloaded is the sequel to one of the best action films of all time – Matrix, from 1999. Surpassing its iconic moments was nearly impossible, and in general perception, part 2 also falls short of the original.

On Rotten Tomatoes, Reloaded has a critic score of 73 percent, compared to 83 percent for part 1. Nevertheless, the sequel managed to remain memorable in one particular scene.

Are you looking for more action films? On MeinMMO, we have a list of 5 recommendations for hardcore fans of the genre.

Start video

Trailer for the action blockbuster “Matrix Reloaded”

Autoplay

A Chase on the Highway

Which scene is being talked about? In the film, there is a roughly five-minute sequence where Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) race down a highway, pursued by the so-called Twins. The heroes have found the “Keymaker,” a crucial character in the story, and are trying to get him to safety. By the way, Laurence Fishburne will be part of the 4th season of The Witcher.

To shoot this scene, the film crew had to make a considerable effort. First, a road was specially built for the film. It was nearly two kilometers long and relatively wide with three lanes in each direction. The team erected high wooden walls on the sides, so people couldn’t see what lay beyond the road.

All of this already cost 2.5 million US dollars – compared to the total budget of about 150 million US dollars (via boxofficemojo.com), that doesn’t seem like much at all. However, this calculation does not yet include the numerous cars that appear in the scene.

These were provided by the manufacturer General Motors. A total of 300 were used for the shoot, and each one was destroyed during the filming. A significant effort and a high degree of destruction – all for a single scene.

Just before gamescom, Heinrich’s next trip to medieval Bohemia is postponed to next year

Karsten Scholz 21. August 2024 Reading time < 1 minutes

The continuation of the Steam hit Kingdom Come: Deliverance will not be released until next year. This was announced by the developers at Warhorse Studios just before the official start of the gamescom 2024.

What has Warhorse announced in detail? Via X, the developers explained that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will not be released in 2024 as originally planned, but instead on February 11, 2025. They intend to use the time until launch to showcase various aspects of the medieval role-playing game.

Of course, it will kick off at the upcoming gamescom 2024. The developers promise:

a gameplay showcase lasting more than 20 minutes
the reveal of the Collector’s Edition
impressions from media representatives and content creators

Here is the trailer for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2:

What do I need to know about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2? The role-playing game from Warhorse will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. You will again step into the role of Henry (Heinrich) of Skalitz, whose quest for revenge (triggered by the murder of his family) leads you into 15th-century medieval Bohemia.

The first Kingdom Come: Deliverance captivated players despite its rough edges with an immersive game world, characters that grow on you, and a well-functioning mix of role-playing and medieval simulation (one had to pay attention to hygiene, food intake, and exhaustion).

Diablo 4: Player finds one of the rarest items in the content that most ignore

Nicole Wakulczyk 21. August 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The Mythic Uniques are the rarest items in Diablo 4. You can get them from certain bosses – and with a lot of luck, also outside of them. One player had great luck and received a mythic unique from a content that many ignore.

What are Mythics? The Mythic Uniques were called Uber Uniques until Season 5 in Diablo 4. These are powerful, rare items that make many builds even stronger or exceptionally strong. Mythic Uniques are even rarer than “normal” Uniques. Here you can find an overview of all Mythics.

You have the highest chance of getting a Mythic from the bosses Duriel and Andariel – it is even higher if you fight the bosses in the “Tormented” version at level 200. However, the mythic uniques can also drop outside of that. One player had this luck as he received a mythic ring from a chest in the “Whispering Tree”.

You can also obtain chests in the reputation system in Season 5 of Diablo 4 – even if you have already completed the maximum level there:

Mythic drop from the “Whispering Tree”

What did the player get? In a post on Reddit, “MicRo_Mnager” shows his loot drop, which he apparently received from a chest from the “Whispering Tree”. Among them are several legendaries, boss mats, a compass for the hell hordes, and a mythic ring.

Since there is currently only one Mythic ring, this is the Ring of the Starless Sky, which can be equipped by all classes. The ring increases your resistance to all types of damage, your attack speed, your critical hit chance, your lucky hit chance, and gives you ranks on core skills. It also reduces resource costs and increases your damage.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Reddit that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Reddit content

Which content is often ignored? The bounties for the Whispering Tree allow you to farm gold, mats, and items. However, the bounties are spread across various areas of the map – and are time-limited.

Once you have collected ten points, you also need to teleport to the Whispering Tree to exchange the points for a chest. If you do not exchange them, you will not collect any further points. This back and forth can be time-consuming.

However, with Season 5, another activity was introduced in Diablo 4 that you can farm: the Hell hordes. The more “Burning Ether” you collect during the monster waves there, the more gold, mats, or items you get at the end. You can choose between the rewards and invest your ether only in mats or gold, if you are currently lacking in them. One player exchanged his ether for nearly 150 million gold in a Hell hordes run.

For the amount of gold, you would have to complete some bounties for the Whispering Tree, which would simply take longer than the Hell hordes runs. Also, for the loot, the Hell hordes are generally more worthwhile. There, you can end up opening a chest that drops items with great affixes (1.5x as strong as normal affixes).

Where else do Mythics drop outside of bosses? But other players have also had luck and have randomly dropped Mythic Uniques. One player reported in a post on Reddit that he received the Ring of the Starless Sky from a chest in the Nightmare dungeon.

Also, the “Infinite Reward Chests” of the reputation system in Season 5 are worth it, as another player received a Mythic. In his post on Reddit, he shows the unique “Ahavarion Staff of Lycander” (for Sorcerers and Druids). He writes: “A small reminder! Open these chests regularly to get the great rewards.”

The “Gift of the Mother” reputation system came with Season 5 in Diablo 4 and is a promising way to get loot and mats. With the last level, the grind does not end this time, as you can continue to gather afterwards. You can read more about it here: Diablo 4: Secret change brings more loot for all who like to grind

Instead of hiding a bad review, a gangster film put the rating on the poster – Did you notice it?

Niko Hernes 21. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

For movies and series, reviews are important because apart from the critic’s opinion, a good review can also mean good publicity. Bad reviews, on the other hand, can prevent viewers from going to the cinema. The film Legend creatively used a bad review in a poster instead of hiding it.

What kind of film is Legend? The film is about the twins Reggie and Ronny Kray, who built a crime empire in England in the 1960s. The film is based on the true story of the twins and is a classic biopic, meaning it is a feature film based on a true story.

The special thing about the film is that Tom Hardy plays both twins simultaneously. The film has received mixed reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the critic score is 61% (based on 173 reviews) and a user score of 59% (with over 25,000 reviews).

The film did not hide from a bad review, but even included it on a poster with many good ratings – with a clever trick.

The film about Borderlands has very few positive reviews: The film about Borderlands starts with a rating of 0%, breaking negative records on Metacritic

A trailer for the film can be found here:

A bad review right on the poster

What can be seen on the poster? Many posters and trailers promote shortly before the release of a film or series with various reviews. Legend did the same. On the poster, you can see the two twins, played by Tom Hardy. In the lower foreground, there is the quote: Essential…. A British classic.

In the upper background, there are several 4-5 star critic ratings. However, if you look at the middle rating from The Guardian, you will notice that it actually only has 2 stars. But this is well hidden on the poster since the 2 stars are positioned between the heads of the two twins. There might be more stars hidden behind their heads. You can see the poster here:

The critic also reacted to the poster. In 2015, Benjamin Lee, the critic who gave the 2-star rating, wrote on The Guardian about the poster. Although he found it a smart idea, he criticized how companies try to re-contextualize quotes and reviews to generate the best publicity.

While my two stars on the poster for Legend were, in my opinion, a fairly clever move, in other cases a careful massage of the truth has often turned into something akin to outright forgery.

The use of negative reviews for Legend also created a small hype on Twitter, as Jim explained in his article. However, there are also anti-hypes. This could be said again about Borderlands. The film is so poorly received that even a German trash director comments: German trash director Uwe Boll looks at the Borderlands film with schadenfreude: “Now you wish I had directed”

If you listen carefully from minute 30, you can discover a reference to a science fiction series in Men in Black

Niko Hernes 21. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Men in Black is a cult film that depicts an organization dealing with aliens on Earth. The organization also employs aliens. One group of aliens speaks a language that Star Wars fans might find familiar.

What is Men in Black? Men in Black was released in 1997. The action-comedy deals with the conspiracy theory of men in black, who cover up alien projects for the government. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones star in the lead roles.

Men in Black shows that aliens live among us humans, but no one recognizes them. To keep it that way, the Men in Black ensure that no human remembers the aliens and stops the threatening aliens. The film also has many Easter eggs. One of them might have caught the ears of Star Wars fans with good hearing.

Star Wars also has Easter eggs that can be found with a keen eye: Stop your Star Wars Episode at the right moment, and you’ll find a clever Easter egg

Listen closely starting at 00:30:34

What Star Wars reference can be found in the film? In the organization of the Men in Black, not only humans work. The worm-like aliens, who have been there since part 1, also work there. They enjoy many things on Earth, especially coffee. In the first part, Jay, played by Will Smith, meets the group for the first time in the kitchen.

Kay, played by Tommy Lee Jones, shows Jay around and makes a detour into the kitchen. This happens in the Netflix version of the first film around 00:30:34. When Kay enters the kitchen, you can hear the aliens conversing in an unknown language. Those familiar with languages from Star Wars might recognize the language since it is also spoken by Jabba and the other Hutts.

In Star Wars, primarily the Hutts speak Huttese. The language is also spoken on controlled planets like Tatooine. The language has existed since Jabba’s first appearance in Star Wars Episode 5.

gamescom 2024 opens with Borderlands 4 – Trailer is already better than the movie

Max Handwerk 20. August 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The gamescom 2024 kicks off with a bang: Borderlands 4 has been announced. And the trailer was received very well.

The very first trailer of gamescom 2024 is a sensation: Borderlands 4 has been announced. The huge emblem of Lilith tears through the darkness of space. A moon breaks into pieces, comets crash onto the surface, and in a burning crater lies: The mask of a psycho. The hallmark of the Borderlands series.

Right after that the confirmation: The huge lettering announces the title Borderlands 4. So it is officially the next installment of the main series, not a spin-off like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands.

Also added was the release window: Borderlands 4 will be released in 2025. The wait won’t be forever.

Here you can see the trailer:

gamescom audience is excited for a good Borderlands

Here’s how the trailer was received: “The audience went wild for Borderlands 4,” writes our editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski live from the ONL. A good sign, after the just-released movie adaptation of the pest control saga was panned by critics and did not resonate well with fans of the series.

You can get a little impression here in the review by MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes.

What ultimately is in the game remains to be seen. The trailer doesn’t reveal much, and no additional information has been released yet.

One thing is clear: Fans can hope for a game that showcases the strengths of the series. While Borderlands 3 was praised for its gameplay, it failed to resonate with many fans in terms of story and characters – a point where Borderlands 2 succeeded far better.

We are definitely excited to see what Borderlands 4 will bring. If you want to dive a little into the series: Here you can find all Borderlands games ranked.

Companions with spectacular abilities

What abilities can be seen in the trailer? Naturally, the Mercenaries are not just presented in illustrations. The trailer shows small scenes of the battles.

The “Cursed Child” seems to be able to transform into a demon that fights with powerful fire attacks. Outside of the demon form, you can see the Mercenary create waves of fire that move forward. Shadow skills are also showcased.

The “Shield Bearer” can charge forward with his shield and create a kind of protective field. A shout is shown that draws the opponents’ focus. Like Captain America, the Shield Bearer seems to also be able to throw his shield.

The “Berserker Crone” looks like the typical barbarian companion. She can pull enemies toward her. Powerful hammer actions can be seen in the trailer along with a mighty stomp jump toward an enemy.

The last one in the group is the “Bounty Hunter”, who attacks at range with a bow. You can see the hail of arrows from the hunter and a kind of fire bomb. In the trailer, a ranged attack is shown, which the Mercenary charges up beforehand.

Not only game trailers delighted the guests of the gamescom ONL: A new series about video games took the audience by storm.

The Opening Night Live of gamescom was characterized by various game trailers, but the presentation of a new series apparently struck a chord with many people in the audience. Applause erupted when Tim Miller, known for the first Deadpool film and the Netflix series Love, Death & Robots, introduced his new project: the series Secret Level.

Clearly emotionally touched, Miller explained that the series is a love letter to the video game world – and that’s also visible in the new trailer.

Secret Level will take place in various video game worlds, or rather, be inspired by them. Here you can see the trailer:
