Fallout: London is one of the most anticipated modifications. Now the developers have announced that the release will be in just a few hours.
What kind of mod is this? Fallout: London is a DLC-sized mod that takes the player to London. This means completely reconstructing the game, as players refer to it as a “Total Conversion” because nothing from the old game remains. According to the developers, you can look forward to a completely new world, factions, storylines, NPCs, weapons, creatures, and much more. And all of this in the style of the English capital.
The team behind Fallout: London has been working on the mod since 2019 and initially planned to release it on April 23. However, Bethesda’s official next-gen update for Fallout 4 put a wrench in those plans. The update was released two days after the planned Fallout: London release, and the mod developers knew this would cause problems with the mod.
When will Fallout London be released? The team behind the mod told the online magazine Inverse that Fallout: London will definitely be released on July 25. On the YouTube channel of the developers, a countdown is ticking down to the premiere of the launch trailer, which corresponds to 14:00 German time. After that, you can expect to download the mod in the foreseeable future.
Fallout: London is a mod for Fallout 4.

Fallout London Download – GOG instead of Nexusmods
Where can you download the modification? The developers have partnered with GOG to manage the large download size.
The well-known mod site Nexusmods declined support due to the large download. The download on GOG is compatible with the Steam version of Fallout 4 without any issues, the developers explained.
What else should I consider? Fallout: London is only compatible with the GOG and Steam versions of Fallout 4. Fallout 4 from the Game Pass is not supported. At least the GOTY edition of Fallout 4 now only costs 20 euros. On GOG, the mod is currently available in a giveaway, so you can add it to your library for free.
The Ninja Turtles from New York suddenly find themselves in an anime world. But the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles should feel right at home, as they are surrounded by ninjas.
What kind of crossover is this? In October, a new comic series titled TMNT x Naruto is set to be released. The series will include a total of four issues. While Konohagakure and its inhabitants will look as they always do, the Ninja Turtles will get a matching look.
The first cover shows the Ninja Turtles jumping through Konohagakure, the home of Naruto. Naruto himself is also featured:

The story is written by Caleb Goellner (Sonic the Hedgehog). The illustrations will be done by Hendry Prasetya (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers). Additionally, Raúl Angulo (NYX) and Ed Dukeshire (The Woods) will assist with the coloring.
When is the comic coming out? The first part of the comic series is set to be released on November 13, 2024.

What will the comic be about? April O’Neil, one of the closest allies of the TMNT, is on her way to Konohagakure. The reporter meets with Tsunade, the current Hokage of the city. Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi will take notice of the meeting between the two ladies.
Sakura and Sasuke will also appear on one of the covers. You can see all the previous images related to the comic crossover below. Click the arrows to navigate through the gallery:

However, they are not the only ones interested in April’s visit. The dark Foot Clan, which also consists only of ninjas, has an eye on her. The clan thinks that April might have important information about the mutation research of scientist Baxter Stockman.
As April is caught in the conflict between Konohagakure and the Foot Clan, it doesn’t take long for the Ninja Turtles to show up and come to her rescue.
What else is happening on the Naruto front? On the occasion of Naruto’s 20th anniversary, there will be four exclusive episodes set before Naruto Shippuden. The episodes are expected to be released by March 2025 (via X).
Additionally, the creator of the manga, Masashi Kishimoto, is working on new chapters for the sequel, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. The original story of Naruto has already concluded and is being continued through his son, Boruto.
The team from World of Warcraft has finally formed a union. Will it get better for the developers now?
In recent years, reports have increased that developers at Blizzard are relatively poorly treated. Low wages and the disclosure of numerous scandals in recent years, such as the major sexism scandal.
It was about time that something changed for the developers of the MMORPG – and that time has probably come. Because the “World of Warcraft Gamemakers Guild” has been established.

WoW: Pre-Patch 11.0 – Trailer for the new pre-event of The War Within
What is it? The “WoWGG-CWA” is an association of employees who work on World of Warcraft. In America, this is called a “union”.
“Unions” are comparable to labor unions, although often on a somewhat smaller scale. The aim is to bring all employees to the table and formulate common interests that can then be addressed to the employer. The advantage of this is that one acts as a collective unit and thus the risk of layoffs is lower, such as if an unpleasant suggestion has been made.
The idea behind it: to improve working conditions for employees while also having a stronger negotiating position.

Who is in the “union”? A total of over 500 employees who work on World of Warcraft at Blizzard are gathered in this union. This includes employees from these areas:
Art
Sound
Engineering
Production
Quality Assurance
In an interview with Game Developer, Senior Software Engineer Kevin Vigue spoke about the founding:
We want to improve our working conditions and protect the things we love about Blizzard so that we feel secure pouring all our talent and passion into creating World of Warcraft.
The founding comes shortly after a major wave of layoffs at Blizzard and Microsoft, but that is more of a coincidence.
The efforts to form a union began even before the recent layoffs, but seeing them firsthand has only reinforced for us how important this effort is for the entire gaming industry. With our union contract, we have a voice to minimize the impacts of future layoffs and ensure that we retain talent and knowledge whenever possible.
When did this start? The process began over 3 years ago when the major sexism scandal occurred at Blizzard. Back then, many employees left the building during a “walk out” to protest against management’s actions. From this “walk out,” the thought was ultimately born to unite more strongly amongst themselves and thus stand up for common interests and also for the values that Blizzard should actually represent.
Whether this will have a noticeable impact on the development of games – and specifically World of Warcraft – remains to be seen. In any case, it is likely to improve the working conditions of employees at Blizzard and Microsoft in the long term.

A VR MMORPG on Steam has recently received a major update that improves not only your movement but also the combat system.
Which game is this about? Ilysia is an MMORPG on Steam that is currently in Early Access. With its concept it aims to redefine the future of the genre, as Ilysia is played with a VR set, allowing you to dive directly into the game world.
Since its launch in October 2023, the game has only received an overall rating of “Mixed”. However, it should be noted that only about 140 players have submitted a review. Now there has been a major update that has nearly completely overhauled many aspects of the game.
Here we have included the trailer from the Early Access launch for you:
Start video
The VR MMORPG Ilysia launched in Early Access
What has been revised? With the last update, many aspects have been fundamentally revised, as the developers announced. Among other things, the movement options have been partially modified and improved.
This includes everything from walking, running, jumping, and crawling to gliding. You can now run and swim with appropriate arm movements instead of using the joystick.
In addition to improvements of these actions, new ones have also been added. You will be able to climb again in Ilysia. Among other things, you can ascend ladders or ropes. Additionally, there are now zip lines that you can use for faster movement.
No cooldown for melee attacks
The combat system has also been heavily revised with this update. This should affect both you and the opponents. Among other things, there is no longer a cooldown for melee attacks, the range of hits has been adjusted, and blocking with a shield should now work.
The opponents have been adjusted so that they react better in combat. You can find the complete patch notes on the official Steam page, and the developers promise that this update is just the beginning. In the future, they plan to build their game on this foundation and deliver more and more updates for continuous improvement.

These are all currently known augments in LoL Swarm. As more become available, we will update the list.
Targaryens are not particularly creative when it comes to naming. There are numerous Aegons. It can certainly get confusing. We currently see the devastating consequences of such a mix-up in the seriesHouse of the Dragon. To prevent you from suffering the same fate as Alicent Hohenturm, we have summarized and sorted all Aegons for you in a list.
How was the ranking created? The ultimate Aegon ranking took into account both books and the series Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.
It only concerns Aegons who have Targaryen blood. A total of 12 are known, including 5 kings.
Questions such as: How good was he for the realm? How educated or skilled in battle was he? What did he achieve? were crucial for the ranking.
Attention Spoiler: Events from Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon (up to season 2 episode 5) are recounted.

In the second season of ‘House of the Dragon’, the war begins with fire and blood
Rank 10: Other Aegons
The difficulties of childbirth are well-known in Westeros. The Targaryen family is not protected from this. There are three Aegon Targaryens who did not live to be older than one year: the sons of Jaeherys I, Baelon and Aerys II.
Unfortunately, they never had the opportunity to prove themselves as worthy Aegons.
Rank 9: Aegon IV, the Unworthy
Lifetime: 135 A.C. to 184 A.C. (after Aegon’s conquest)
Quote: “Aenys was weak, and Maegor was cruel, and Aegon II was greedy, but no king ever ruled as poorly as Aegon IV.” (from The World of Ice & Fire, George R.R. Martin)
Aegon the Unworthy did not carry this title without reason. His only interests were eating, drinking, and sleeping with as many women as possible.
From these exploits arose numerous bastards, whom Aegon legitimized on his deathbed. This led to the so-called Blackfyre Rebellions, the second great Targaryen civil war.
Aegon IV was thus useless not only during his reign. He also plunged the realm into an unnecessary war beyond his death.
Rank 8: Aegon II, the Elder
Born: 107 A.C.
Quote: “Thrones are won with swords, not with feathers. Spill blood, not ink.” (House of the Dragon)
Aegon II is the Aegon we know from House of the Dragon. He is the son of Alicent Hohenturm and Viserys I Targaryen. After his father’s death, he was practically forced to seize the throne, even though it was actually owed to Rhaenyra.
Later, however, he increasingly enjoys the power that the crown gives him. He is impulsive, impatient, and does not care much for prudent politics. Rather, he rushes into battle with his young dragon Sonnfeuer, where he is then burned to disfigurement by his brother Aemond on Vhagar.

Sean Chilima has to cope with the death of his father. He died in a tragic accident. However, a special quote from One Piece gives him the strength to deal with his grief.
How did the accident happen? The deceased is no stranger, at least in Malawi. In mid-June, some newspaper articles might have caught your attention about the Vice President of Malawi, Saulos Chilima, who died in a plane crash (via BBC).
The plane reportedly flew in bad weather and disappeared from the airport radar. The wreckage was completely destroyed upon discovery and all passengers were dead. He left behind his wife Mary and his children Sean and Elizabeth.
A large-scale funeral for the Vice President took place a few days ago to find comfort in this tragic situation. His son Sean gave a eulogy and explained to the audience how he encourages himself.
In his eulogy, he included a quote that you might recognize from the arc where Chopper joins the Straw Hat crew:

The quote was originally directed by Doc Bader to his protégé Chopper. He recited it to Chopper after the little reindeer had prepared him a mushroom soup. What Chopper didn’t know at the time was that the mushrooms were poisonous and his mentor was doomed.
Since Doc Bader was already suffering from heart disease, he ate the soup so as not to offend Chopper. Thus, only the cause of death changed; death itself was inevitable.
The quote translates to:
When does a man die? When he is hit by a bullet? No. When he suffers from a disease? No. When he eats a soup made from poisonous mushrooms? No. A man dies when he is forgotten.
In the video, it can be seen that Sean briefly struggles with the words after the quote. The quote has a deeper meaning, which is why some in the community are visibly moved.
What do fans say? In the comments under the Reddit thread, there are some users who have also lost their fathers. They can relate well to Sean’s situation. There are even some users who used the same quote at the funerals of relatives.
Some users are even close to tears. They appreciate the quote, and by the time of the poisonous mushroom soup, they would be crying. Generally, there are many more quotes that the fan community remembers from the anime.
In Pokémon GO, the second part of the Hyper Bonus begins. We will show you all the highlights.
When does the Hyper Bonus run? It starts on July 25 at 10:00 AM. It ends on Tuesday, July 30, at 8:00 PM.
What kind of event is this? The Hyper Bonus, Part 2, is themed “Strength of Steel”. Accordingly, everything revolves around Steel Pokémon. But there are a few other bonuses as well.
What are the bonuses? The big highlight for many will be the triple catch Stardust. This is really worth it because Stardust is something you always need, for leveling for example, or if you want to teach your Pokémon new moves.
Additionally, you will receive extra catch XL candies and a higher chance of XL candies with nice, great, and superb throws. The XL candy bonuses apply only to trainers from level 31. You will also get extra regular candies with nice, great, and superb throws.

Galaxy AI is Samsung’s answer to developments in the AI field. MeinMMO explains what Galaxy AI is, which devices offer it, and what functions to expect.
With Galaxy AI, AI is currently available on numerous phones and devices from Samsung. But what is behind Galaxy AI, and what does it mean for me if I have purchased a Samsung phone? MeinMMO explains everything about the new AI feature in this article.
What is it? Galaxy AI is Samsung’s new AI system, which you can currently only use on Galaxy devices. Samsung intends to significantly expand the capabilities and functions in the future.
Who is behind the AI? Samsung has teamed up with Google to enhance its own Galaxy AI with Google’s Gemini Pro and Imagen 2, adding additional features.
Simply put, Galaxy AI is not a single model like ChatGPT but a combination of different AI models. Depending on the task, a different system is used. However, some models require additional things, such as an internet connection.
Galaxy AI: List of all supported devices
Which devices support Galaxy AI? The following models have supported Galaxy AI since May 2024:
How can you install Galaxy AI? Galaxy AI is not an app that you can or should install. Instead, Samsung integrates the new features into existing apps.
Galaxy AI comes with the update to OneUI 6.1 (Android 14) to your device. Some devices, see also the list of compatible devices, will receive the update a bit later, while others should already have it.
All known Galaxy AI functions at a glance:
Samsung Keyboard: Additional translation features in every app.
Photo Editing: Change shadows and reflections. You can also change the position of objects in a photo or completely remove them.
Generative Edits: Expands images by filling in backgrounds and edges.
Instant Slow Motion: Generates additional frames in a video to create slow-motion effects with detail and quality.
Live Translate: Provides audio and text translations during calls in both directions and in real-time. You do not need an internet connection for this.
Interpreter: Translates conversations in real-time with a shared screen.
Chat Assist: Galaxy AI generates responses that are tailored to tone and content.
Note Assist: Creates summaries, produces templates, and generates cover images in the Samsung Notes app.
Transcript Assist: Transcribes, summarizes, and translates voice recordings.
Circle to Search: Allows you to search for something on the screen by simply circling, highlighting, or tapping an image or word.
Health features: Some features are available to you in connection with the Galaxy Ring. These are then exclusively usable on Samsung devices.
The good news first: So far, all functions of Galaxy AI are free as long as you have a compatible device.
However, Samsung also points out that there may be features in the future for which users may have to pay. What these could be is not yet known. As stated by Samsung on the German-language page:
Galaxy AI features will be available for free on supported Samsung Galaxy devices at least until the end of 2025. Different conditions may apply to AI features provided by third parties.

The First Descendant could receive an important feature for quickly traveling the world. What does Nexon say about it?
What feature is it? To be able to quickly traverse the worlds of video games, many games today have vehicles or mounts that allow players to travel across the map. This has become standard in many MMOs and is very helpful as maps continue to grow larger and more expansive.
In The First Descendant, however, you have to traverse the world on foot or use fast travel. Vehicles or mounts are currently not available, but this could change in the future.
If you want to know what the encrypted vaults are about and how to find them, feel free to check out our video:

The First Descendant: Encrypted Safes – What is it and how do you find them?
What do the developers say about the feature? The online magazine DotEsports asked the developers of The First Descendant whether there is a possibility that the individual map areas of the shooter could eventually be connected into a large open world and also include mounts.
Nexon responded: “We are still considering open-world and mounts. Nothing has been decided yet!” So there is hope for mounts or vehicles.
Currently, however, there are no official plans for upcoming means of transport. Nothing regarding vehicles or mounts is visible on the 2024 roadmap either (via x.com). Therefore, we will probably have to wait a bit longer until there are concrete details on this.
Less Time Traveling, More Time Grinding
Why are vehicles and mounts useful in The First Descendant? To explore the world of the shooter quickly and comfortably, vehicles and mounts are particularly suitable. Of course, you can also use fast travel points to get from A to B, but that also involves loading screens. A short march or ride on a horse can make the journey to the next mission more immersive.
Additionally, you will frequently be sent back and forth between different objectives within a mission. This can take up a lot of time when farming for materials, which players would rather spend grinding for equipment. A mount can speed up the gameplay loop.
In The First Descendant, there are many different classes with special abilities. Since the classes are crucial for your playstyle, we recommend checking them out. Here we have a Tier List of the Descendants to assist you in your choice: The First Descendant: Tier List – All Classes in Ranking

What can I not trade? For a while, it was possible to exchange legendary aspects. However, that was a bug and has now been fixed. The list of items you cannot trade is correspondingly longer:
Items that have already been enchanted by the Occultist
Premium currency and items from the shop or the Battle Pass

Trading on websites – Is it worth it?
Since Season 4, trading has become bigger in the game, as you can now sell Legendaries to other players. However, most of the trading still takes place on external sites.
The most popular trading platforms are the website diablo.trade as well as various trading Discords. According to the community, while the platforms have a good reputation, you never have complete security here as they are still third-party services.
So only trade here if you are aware of the risk that there can definitely be scammers around, and proceed with caution. Although large amounts of gold are in circulation here, they have not always been earned honestly.

As is known, Schwarzenegger practiced bodybuilding before his acting career and even became Mr. Universe. He did not come to this on his own but had role models. One of them was Johnny Weissmuller, who was a professional swimmer and water polo player before his acting career. After his sports career, he played Tarzan in several films in the 40s and 50s.
Steve Reeves was also an inspiration for him, as he revealed in 2000 in a FAQ format for the website Schwarzenegger.com. (via Collider)

The Chinese streamer Pan Xiaoting passed away at the age of 24 during a 10-hour challenge in which she consumed large amounts of food.
What kind of trend is this? Mukbang is an internet trend from South Korea where people film themselves eating or live stream their meals. It started in the early 2010s on the platform AfreecaTV.
Originally, eating streams were meant to simulate the feeling of shared meals during times of increasing isolation and loneliness: viewers consumed their own food while watching the streamers and exchanged messages in chats.
Mukbang creators earn a lot of money, risking their health
Why is the trend dangerous? Successful Mukbang creators quickly earned thousands of US dollars per month when converted to their currency. However, the type of meals consumed became increasingly extreme: particularly large amounts of unhealthy or especially spicy food attracted viewers (via Quartz).
A prominent example is the American YouTuber Nicholas “Nikocado Avocado” Perry, whose Mukbang videos regularly achieved millions of views. However, his weight gain caused concern among many fans.

The Federal Center for Nutrition explains the trend and expresses concerns about eating disorders, health problems, and the glorification of unhealthy eating behaviors associated with Mukbang.
If you or people around you are struggling with eating disorders, you can find information and counseling services at the BZgA. You can reach the counseling hotline from Monday to Thursday from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM and on Friday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM at 0221 892031. The counseling is free. If you have concerns or distress, you can reach the telephone counseling service free of charge at 0800 1110111 or 0800 1110222.
How did the streamer die? In China, Mukbang videos were banned in 2021 with a law against binge eating. Nevertheless, the Chinese streamer Pan Xiaoting passed away during a 10-hour food challenge, during which she reportedly consumed 10 kilograms of food.
As our colleagues from 3D Juegos reported, the streamer circumvented the ban by live streaming her meals instead of posting them as a video. Pan Xiaoting was only 24 years old. An autopsy reportedly revealed that her stomach was deformed from excessive eating. Most of the undigested remnants of her last meal were found in her stomach.

In World of Warcraft, there is currently a bug that is causing some concern. Are other people accessing your bank? Here’s what’s behind it.
Update 31.07.: The warband bank is now functioning and you should no longer see the bug.
Original report: With the Pre-Patch 11.0, the era of “The War Within” has begun for World of Warcraft. However, such a major patch brings not only many positive changes but also some bugs. Some of these cause concerns, while others are just annoying.
However, one bug gives the impression that other people are accessing your account. Don’t worry: This is not what the bug implies, and the cause of the bug is not serious.

What kind of bug is this? It’s a bug that occurs when trying to access the new warband bank feature. There you can read the message:
“Another member of the warband is already accessing the bank.”
This immediately raises alarm bells for some: Are other people currently accessing my account and emptying my bank?
If you see this message: Don’t worry. It doesn’t mean that your account has been hacked, nor does it indicate that anything is wrong.
Usually, this message only appears when you have multiple WoW accounts linked to your Battle.net account and are logged in with several accounts simultaneously.
Currently, however, there is a serious bug that has caused Blizzard to disable the warband bank. As such, this message is displayed to prevent access to the bank.
What can be done about it? Currently, nothing at all. Blizzard will certainly fix the bug in the coming days, and then the bank should be functional. Until then, you simply cannot use it and will have to forgo the feature.
This gives you some extra time to farm some gold – as the full unlocking of the warband bank is quite expensive.
Are there any other bugs? Yes, quite a few, actually. Especially the action bars, meaning your spell bars, are causing issues right now. For many, these bars are hidden, and you have to manually reveal them again in the options.
But some of the new talents are also causing difficulties because some of them simply do not work correctly. For instance, the priest with his radiance can suddenly pull half the dungeon onto himself, while other classes find that their talents are not functioning properly.
The Zandalari trolls in World of Warcraft are finally playable. The quest has a few dark surprises…
Since Patch 8.1.5, players of World of Warcraft can finally unlock new allied races. The questline to unlock the Zandalari trolls is relatively quick. We will reveal to you what happens there and what impact the quest has on the entire Horde.
Update: This article was originally published in 2019. We have updated it in July 2024 with the latest information regarding Patch 11.0.
Requirements for the quest: Most players should already meet the requirements to start the quest. You need:
a character (Horde) at level 40
There used to be many other requirements. These have been removed with “Dragonflight”.
The quest takes place right after the events of the Battle of Dazar’alor. King Rastakhan was slain by the Alliance forces. The dark pact with the Loa of death, Bwonsamdi, has passed to the troll princess, Talanji. She is supposed to present herself as the new ruler to her people and follow in her father’s footsteps. However, she faces several problems. The player must help her.
Uprising among the trolls: To be crowned, Talanji must undergo several trials. During this, she passes through many areas of the city and is insulted repeatedly. Many trolls reject her and her pact with Bwonsamdi. They would never want to serve the Loa of death, who represents destruction and annihilation. Bwonsamdi should not be elevated above other Loa.
However, it soon becomes apparent that these uprisings are apparently orchestrated and intentionally provoked. The players must find out who is behind it before the rituals for the coronation ceremony can continue.
The colleagues at wowhead have showcased the entire quest in a video:

The Trials of the Loa: Subsequently, Talanji must pass several trials of different Loa. These are basically small mini-games where players assist. For example, Krag’wa transforms you into a fly, and you must avoid hungry frogs. In the trial of Pa’ku, Talanji has to climb a staircase while being hindered by powerful storms.
Bwonsamdi wants a head: In the final trial, Talanji is supposed to kill someone. Bwonsamdi demands the head of Sylvanas Windrunner. However, Talanji refuses and insists that it would be dishonorable. While Bwonsamdi appears briefly disappointed, he still considers the trial passed and allows Talanji to take the crown.
The questline ends with Talanji calling Sylvanas to discuss the alliance. Sylvanas appears a bit arrogant but agrees to a pact as “equals”. From that point on, the empire of Zandalar is an official ally of the Horde.
Upon returning to Orgrimmar, players receive the mount “Zandalari Direhorn” and can create Zandalari trolls from then on.
The questline has been playable since the release of Patch 8.1.5.
Have you already unlocked the Zandalari trolls?

If you want to learn about World of Warcraft and the new expansion The War Within, you often stumble upon coordinate specifications, especially in guides. However, these are not shown in the game itself. MeinMMO presents you three addons with which you can view coordinates.
What are coordinates? Coordinates are numeric combinations in the X/Y format that indicate a latitude and a longitude. They tell you where on the map you can find something.
They are used, for example, to determine the location of certain NPCs. If you want to farm rare mounts, you often deal with coordinates to determine the exact location.
Generally, they are more or less standardized for WoW, so the information is consistent for each display. However, to see them, you need addons.
Most addons for map and minimap already have this function integrated. Here we present you three addons that are practical and easily incorporate the coordinates.
MapCoords
What is MapCoords? As the name suggests, MapCoords does nothing other than display the coordinates on the map. If you are solely focused on this feature, you can confidently go for this addon.
How does it display coordinates? The display is actually better in MapCoords than in most other addons. You see both the position of the player and your cursor on the map. Below your portrait and under the minimap, you additionally see the position of the character.
MapCoords offers several settings, allowing you to set:
where you see the coordinates (below the minimap, on the map, and below the portrait)
whether you want to see the coordinates of the cursor
whose coordinates you see – you can even display the locations of party members
whether the coordinates should be displayed with decimal points or rounded
In terms of coordinates, MapCoords is the most comprehensive and simultaneously the leanest addon. However, it does not offer any other features.
The coordinates in MapCoords are kept minimalistic. Image source: Curse.
Mapster
What is Mapster? The addon is particularly designed for the actual map of World of Warcraft. Here, Mapster offers several useful features, such as:
Revealing all unexplored areas
Free scaling of the map size
Fading the map when you move, making it translucent
This makes Mapster particularly useful if you are looking for a general addon for your map to enhance it with more features.
How does it display coordinates? The coordinates are displayed directly under the map (default button: “M”). There you will find both the position of the player and your cursor, making it easier for you to navigate.
Disadvantage: You need to open the map to see the coordinates.
Mapster has some nice features. The coordinates are below the map. And yes, my quest log is messy.
SexyMap
What is SexyMap? Unlike Mapster, SexyMap only alters your minimap. Here, however, you have various options to make it look a bit nicer. For example, you can change the shape and the border of the minimap to adorn it with runes, a fiery frame, or skulls.
Additionally, SexyMap allows you to change the shape of the map, so you can set it to a circle, a square, or even wacky shapes like a heart or a snowflake. If you want to arrange multiple buttons for additional addons around the minimap, it can be helpful to adjust the shape.
Sexy Map with SexyMap. The coordinates are above the time.
How does it display coordinates? SexyMap displays the coordinates directly under the minimap. There you will find a numeric combination that directly represents your character’s location.
Advantage: You always have the coordinates in view. Disadvantage: You cannot search for coordinates with the cursor.
If you want to install addons, you can use a client. Some time ago, Curse switched to Overwolf, a new tool for updating your addons.
Alternatively, you can manually visit the respective website of the addon and download the file. Then unpack the corresponding files in the folder “World of Warcraft_retail_Interface_AddOns” on your respective hard drive. In our guide, you will find more useful addons for World of Warcraft and how to install them.

New World received the new weapon Greatsword with the Brimstone Sands update. In this guide, we at MeinMMO present two strong builds that allow you to use the Greatsword as either a DD or a Tank in PvE.
What can the Greatsword do? Like the other weapons, the Greatsword relies on two skill trees, each with three abilities:
“Butchery” focuses on offensive abilities and damage. With the final talent, your attacks reduce the cooldown of abilities, making you even more offensive.
“Endurance”, on the other hand, focuses on defensive abilities and CC. With the last talent, you also receive 5 percent healing from your attacks.
In the video, the weapon’s animations look powerful and fun.

New World shows in a magnificent trailer a new weapon that many have been waiting for a year
Greatsword Build as Tank
Is the weapon suitable for tanking? The Greatsword is perfect for tanks. In the “Endurance” tree, you have abilities that generate additional aggro, which allow you to block incoming damage or heal passively. One example is “Indomitable Endurance”, the final talent. This allows you to automatically heal for 5 percent of incoming damage.
Furthermore, every ability lets you enter the “Path of Endurance” at the end of the animation. This lasts for ten seconds and causes the following effects:
You take 15 percent less damage
You deal 15 percent less damage
You automatically block attacks while charging a heavy attack
Which attributes should you skill? Like with most other tank builds, you invest in a mix of Strength and Constitution.
You distribute 250 points in Strength and 200 in Constitution throughout the attribute points and gear. This increases your melee damage and provides the most important defensive bonuses, including +10 more armor against physical and elemental damage.
What abilities should I skill? You will use the following three abilities:
Crosscut
Catastrophe Counter
Roaring Rift
You will focus most of your points in the Endurance tree to maximize your defense. However, you also invest some points into offense to deal damage and gain additional health from critical hits.
What does my equipment look like? You normally use heavy armor. There is a type of speedrun build with light armor and a lot of dodging, but this is only worthwhile in established groups where the healer is informed accordingly.
It is important that you socket the Polished Flawless Carnelian in your weapons to build more aggro. For the armor, you will use Onyx or Diamond. For mutations, you should adjust your gemstones based on the enemies.
What does my rotation look like? Against weak enemy groups, you can open the fight directly with Crosscut. This deals damage and activates the “Path of Butchery”. This means you will deal more damage for ten seconds but also take more damage – the counterpart to the “Path of Endurance”.
Against bosses or strong enemy groups, you open with “Roaring Rift” and enter the “Path of Endurance”. You use Catastrophe Counter when you are already being attacked to block two seconds of incoming damage and then deal that damage back to enemies.
Which weapons do I combine with the Greatsword? The Greatsword can be combined with the Hammer or the Axe. Both rely on the same gear and playstyle.
Is the weapon suitable as DPS? Yes. While the Greatsword hits quite slowly, it deals area damage directly. Offensive abilities also activate the “Path of Butchery” for ten seconds:
You deal 15 percent more damage
You receive 15 percent more damage
Heavy attacks charge 50 percent faster but consume ten stamina
As a DD with the Greatsword, it is important to be optimally positioned and avoid incoming damage. This way, you can hit really hard.
Which attributes should I skill? In this build, you focus on Strength and invest 300 points, which you earn through attribute points and gear. Additionally, 150 points go into Dexterity and 50 points into Constitution. This gives you the perfect setup for damage while also providing the bonus for your buff food from Constitution.
What abilities should I skill? You will use all three abilities from the Butchery tree:
Crosscut
Unrelenting Storm
Heavenward Slash
What does my equipment look like? You use light armor for the damage bonus but wear medium armor on the chest. This keeps you in the “light” weight category while collecting additional resistances.
On the weapon, you use the gemstone “Opening IV”, which increases your damage by 15 percent when stamina is not full. You should adjust your gemstones on the armor according to the respective dungeons to take less damage.
What does my rotation look like? It’s actually quite simple: “Unrelenting Storm” is used to slice through large hordes of enemies, while “Heavenward Slash” is meant for single targets.
It is important that you maintain the “Path of Butchery” to deal more damage consistently and reduce your cooldowns by ten percent when using heavy attacks. You should also dodge regularly to gain Empowerment for the next three attacks, which further increases your damage and activates your gemstone in the weapon.
The highly anticipated expansion “Lovestruck” for “The Sims 4” will be released tomorrow, on July 25, 2024. However, before it officially becomes available, the free update for the base game has already caused some surprises – unfortunately, not good ones.
What update are we talking about? The free update from July 23, which was supposed to pave the way for the Lovestruck expansion, has introduced a long-awaited feature into the game: polyamory. With the new update, you can now have open relationships in The Sims 4 and enter into multiple relationships at the same time. Your Sims can now also become jealous. You can decide whether and under what circumstances your Sims feel this way. In addition, there are finally curved pools.
Fan expectations were high, and many were excited about the update. However, the launch of the update has been anything but smooth, as some players report.
Here you can take a look at the new expansion Lovestruck:

Update brings bugs instead of more romance
What are the players saying? Players are reporting numerous issues, including crashes, bugs, and – particularly serious – relationship problems and broken hearts of their Sims. On reddit, the complaints keep coming.
The comments are filled with players complaining about bugs and love dramas of their Sims. Many report that their Sims become rude to each other for no apparent reason, insult each other, and lose relationship points even when they do not interact.
We have summarized a few comments for you:
False-Sun91 writes (via reddit): “My Sims keep being mean to each other and ruining all their relationships. No matter how hard I try to prevent it and rebuild the relationship, they insult each other and shout and ruin my hard work.”
LuLeNa writes (via reddit): All my Sims had great relationships, but now my married couples are fighting, one of them even quit friendship with their spouse.
OK-Grapefruit9193 writes (via reddit): The update has really ruined my game.
Some also report that they experienced similar bugs in the previous patch.
How can I reverse this? A few fans recommend using cheats or mods to fix the relationships again. Many hope that the bugs will be fixed soon and that their Sims will be able to find each other again. So far, EA has not commented on the players’ complaints. The Sims 4 has been on the market since 2014 and continues to receive updates. In 2022, one also caused chaos: Update accidentally brings incestuous relationships to The Sims 4

Before Antony Starr became world-famous as Homelander in The Boys, he was already part of a cult series nearly 30 years ago that many still remember today: Xena: Warrior Princess.
What roles did he play in Xena? In “Xena: Warrior Princess,” Antony Starr had his first notable roles. This series is a spin-off of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and tells the adventures of Xena (played by Lucy Lawless). Xena is a warrior who sets out to do good and leave her past behind. The series has a total of 6 seasons and aired from 1995 to 2001.
At 19, Antony Starr first appeared in Episode 10 Hooves and Harlots of the first season, where he played the role of Mesas. An injured centaur who asks Xena and Gabrielle for help. This role allowed him to present himself to a broader audience, even though the appearance was relatively short.

Antony Starr, who fights like David against Goliath
In the second season of “Xena,” Starr returned in Episode 3 “Giant Killer,” this time as the role of David, who fights against the mighty Goliath.
Although these early roles are far less known than his later portrayal of Homelander, they were crucial steps in Starr’s career and provided him the opportunity to prove his acting talent.
Here you can see him as David on YouTube:

Karl Urban, who plays Billy Butcher in “The Boys,” also appeared in Xena. He played the role of Julius Caesar in many episodes and portrayed Cupid in two other episodes.
Barbie star Ryan Gosling also participated in a spin-off series of Hercules. In Young Hercules, he played the role of young Hercules. Many talented actors appeared in this series universe who later had great careers.
Antony Starr made his breakthrough in the USA with his role as master thief Lucas Hood in the series Banshee. These early roles marked the beginning of a remarkable career that ultimately led Starr to the role of the greatest superhero in the world and made him internationally famous. MeinMMO editor Niko Hernes ranked the 10 strongest superheroes from The Boys.

Today, on Wednesday, July 24th, the hotfix 1.0.4 was released around 11:40 AM for the shooter The First Descendant on Steam, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, and PS5. The loot cave, reminiscent of Destiny, was addressed. But the team has good news.
This was the exciting point:
The most effective way to collect gold and experience points in The First Descendant works through a skill of the character “Valby”, who kills enemies in a row with the “Vulgus Strategic Output”. However, the enemies respawn very quickly after they die: Their respawn rate is very high.
This reminded players of the loot shooter Destiny, where such caves with endlessly spawning enemies existed in 2014, referred to as loot caves. In Destiny, the caves were fought against because Bungie did not appreciate that players could just stand in one place and shoot enemies. Players were intended to engage in the cool activities that Bungie had designed.
Due to a translation error, players initially believed that the loot cave in The First Descendant was intended as such, and all other spots in the game would be equally strong. However, this is not the case.
Start video
The First Descendant: Encrypted Safes – What is it and how do you find them?
Cave gets weaker but remains stronger than intended
This is now the change: With today’s patch, the spot has been nerfed by increasing the time monsters take to spawn.
However, Nexon extends its hand to players and states that the spot is still “significantly more productive” than originally intended, so that the area remains as popular as it is currently.
The spot is now “just as efficient” as other extremely rewarding hunting grounds. This is communicated by the game director.
Additionally, the hotfix reduces the cooldown timer at outposts from 5 minutes to 1 minute, allowing players to use them more frequently without having to run elsewhere or intentionally sabotage the task.
The game director says:
With this adjustment, the reward amount at the outpost of the fortress has been reduced. To ensure that the “Valby run” remains a popular hunting area, we have set the reward efficiency significantly higher than originally planned. We hope to offer numerous farming spots in The First Descendant, each with unique properties and utility for various descendants. Instead of reverting the Valby run to its original intent, we have adjusted it to provide similar efficiency as other hunting areas with high rewards.
Furthermore, we have reduced cooldown times for all outposts, allowing players to play them more frequently without intentionally failing and not having to search for outposts with shorter cooldowns by moving around on the map. We have also added gold rewards for special operations and adjusted 4 types of void fragments that drop randomly.
Here are the patch notes:
The storage limit for modules has been increased from 1000 to 1500.
The cooldown time for the “Strategic Outpost of Vulgus” has been reduced from 5 minutes to 1 minute.
The spawn time between the respawn of monsters has been increased, and the amount of reward at the “Strategic Outpost of Vulgus” has been adjusted.
Void fragments can be obtained from defeating monsters in the special operation. Most fragments can be obtained from the special operation “Neutralize Void Experiment”.
Using the item “Mark for Arrest” received in the special operation grants ten times the usual amount of gold. When “Mark for Arrest” is used on the “Consumable” tab, it is converted into 100,000 gold, and “High-Quality Arrest Mark” is converted into 1,000,000 gold.
This is the reaction: Especially the reduction of the cooldown timer is praised on reddit as “Fucking Phenomenal”.
Another user says: “That doesn’t sound bad at all.”
