In Old School RuneScape, a player showed no mercy. The population of chickens was sustainably reduced – to save gold.
The beauty of MMORPGs is that all players can set their own goals to pursue. But that is also the strange thing about these titles. Because while some goals may seem obvious – such as farming resources or defeating bosses – other goals are a bit more curious.
In Old School RuneScape, a player has extinguished the life lights of a certain species a whopping 16,000 times. A lot of chickens had to give up their feathers.

What did the player do? As MordorMordorMordor proves with a screenshot in the Old School RuneScape subreddit, he has had quite a long week. He has knocked 16,005 chickens to the digital afterlife and taken a total of 100,000 feathers from them.
A feat that very likely no one else has accomplished – because the benefit is extremely low.

What does it bring? The 100,000 feathers are mainly needed to make arrows and connect them with the arrow shaft.
The only catch is: feathers can be bought from NPCs and no one really needs to farm them manually. But that evidently didn’t stop MordorMordorMordor from declaring a bloody crusade against the feathered livestock.
He writes: “They are too expensive and therefore I’m not training combat with them.”
And on a side note: “Also, I like my feathers soaked in blood.”
Special chickens with great performance: In the over 16,000 battles against chickens, there were also some incidents that MordorMordorMordor lists separately – because not every battle is alike.
There have been multiple instances he calls “Clucky Balboa”: a chicken that was defeated only after 5 attacks. In addition, there was a fight where MordorMordorMordor inflicted 0 damage three times in a row. That is quite unlikely – and quite remarkable. Because chickens are at level 1 and have only a measly 3 hit points. They are among the weakest creatures in the game and even have negative defense, making it easier for the attacker to land a hit.
There was also an incident that MMORPG veterans from all games should know. Because a series of 8 chickens in a row simply had no feathers. One wonders where the animals have hidden them.
In September 2024, the next expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game will be released. We are already giving you an exclusive look at 2 cards from the new expansion.
What kind of cards are they? Most of you are likely familiar with the trading cards of Pokémon. The trading card game was released in Japan in 1996 and in Germany 3 years later. To this day, the game remains very popular.
It doesn’t matter whether you focus on collecting or battling: both are possible with the Pokémon Trading Card Game. While the value of old cards sometimes skyrocket to unbelievable heights, new expansions with new cards are still being released.
The next expansion is called Crimson & Purple – Stellar Crown. We have already had a sneak peek at 2 of the new cards, which we obviously do not want to withhold from you.

A small company from Canada has been operating a successful sci-fi MMO on Steam for over 10 years: Warframe. What are they doing right, where large companies like EA fail with their games like Anthem? The head, Steve Sinclair, explains in an interview.
Warframe stabilized at an average of 12,000 players on Steam in 2013. While most other games rapidly lose players after launch, Warframe was able to maintain and even grow these player numbers. In August 2015, it suddenly had 30,000 players
Over the years, Warframe has seen a strong influx thanks to attractive patches: in 2017 it peaked at 62,000 players, in 2018 even at 76,000 – in recent years it has stabilized between 42,000 and 64,000 concurrent players. The studio is currently working on a new game, a fantasy MMO.

Large publishers place too much emphasis on the numbers at release
This is what the developer says now: In an interview with VGC, the head of the studio, Steve Sinclair, accuses big publishers of simply not understanding live service games properly and also evaluating such MMOs like regular games:
They think that release is an all-or-nothing thing, but that is not true. They have a financial opportunity to be persistent, and they never do. It comes out, doesn’t work, and they throw it away.
“Isn’t it a shame?”
He adds:
Is it not a shame when you invest so many years of your life into the development of these systems or the advancement of technologies or the building of a community, and then, because the operating costs are high, you get scared when you see the numbers dropping, and you leave.
We have seen this happen with amazing releases that, in my opinion, have huge potential, and I think they are discarded too soon.
Which games does he mean? He does not say, but every MMO fan will probably think of Anthem, which resembled Warframe and had enormous potential that was never realized.
EA even wanted to revise Anthem and had a team work for a year on a concept for Anthem Next or Anthem 2.0. But when the time came to decide whether to really go through with it, EA thumbed down.
EA gave up Anthem in favor of a new Dragon Age. With Apex Legends and the sports games, they had other irons in the fire.
NCSoft is also considered a studio that gives up “western MMORPGs” too soon, such as WildStar or City of Heroes. FunCom was similarly accused of this by fans with Age of Conan.
Are there also examples of large publishers who have done it right? Yes, Ubisoft has long supported and improved two games, The Division 1 and Rainbow Six Siege, that had their weaknesses at release. However, with The Division 2, they failed to do that.
Bethesda has treated The Elder Scrolls Online well and – with some exceptions – Fallout 76 as well.
Square Enix is known to have saved Final Fantasy XIV. Fans of the MMORPG have thanked the mind behind the game’s rescue, Naoki Yoshida, a thousand times since then. He is greatly revered. In fact, there are several MMOs or live service games, as they are called today, that have turned it around after a bad launch: 6 MMOs and online games that managed to turn it around after a bad launch

Valby is a descendant in The First Descendant who can control the battlefield with water. Her strengths lie in CC, as she can deal significant area damage with her element. Therefore, we present to you a strong build that allows you to easily dismantle large groups of enemies.
What kind of build is this? This is a CC build that allows you to zip through your enemies and deal constant critical damage to them. Valby masters the water element and can thus liquefy, create puddles, and weaken enemies to inflict even more damage.
Valby is excellent for defeating many smaller enemies at once. That is why she is also the top choice for farming gold. We will now show you in our overview which components you need and which weapons you should use in combination with Valby.
Start video
The First Descendant: Encrypted Safes – What is it and how do you find them?
Valby Build: All Components at a Glance
Reactor: Matter Mechanics Reactor
Focuses on:
Skill Cooldown
Skill Duration Up
External Components: Acrobat Set
Provides bonuses depending on how many pieces you have:
Effect for 2 pieces: Skill Power +1.7%, Firearm ATK +2.8%
Effect for 4 pieces: Firearm Critical Hit Rate +5.9%, Skill Critical Hit Rate +21%
Modules:
Supply Moister (increases Skill Critical Hit Rate, Skill Duration, and Firearm Attribute Trigger Rate in water)
HP Collector (defeating an enemy instantly restores 9% of your maximum HP)
Emergency Measures (Skill Critical Hit Rate +16%, Skill Critical Hit Damage +7%)
Time Distribution (Skill Cooldown -4%, Max HP +13%)
Focus on Non-Attribute (Skill Non-Attribute Power +19%, Skill Cooldown -6.1%)
Focus on Dimension (Skill Dimension Power Modifier +17%, Skill Cooldown -6.1%)
Shock Punch
Skill Insight (Increases Skill Critical Hit Rate by 14%)
Skill Expansion (Increases Skill Range by 12%)
Nimble Fingers (reduces Skill Cooldown)
Important about the modules: For Valby, it’s important to focus on four things when deciding on modules: reduce Skill Cooldown, increase Skill Duration, and increase Skill Crit Damage and Skill Range. The remaining modules are a matter of preference and can be swapped out depending on the setting. Therefore, our suggested modules are not a must, but a rough direction you can pursue and modify.
How does the build work? Depending on the danger situation you are in, you have to choose between three skills:
Bubble Ball: Throw a bubble ball at your enemies and create a puddle. This continuously deals damage to your enemies and applies wetness. (more for distance)
Blubb Blubb: Creates a large puddle where you stand and dive into. Now you jump out at a chosen spot, deal continuous damage through the puddle, and apply wetness to enemies.
Wetness: Valby increases her movement speed but cannot leave the ground. She skates through the environment, leaving a liquid trail that deals damage and applies wetness to your enemies. Additionally, Valby gains more defense in this state.
The most important skill is especially “Wetness”, as this quickly soaks your enemies and creates massive area damage. Since all enemies in your puddles are afflicted with “Wetness”, you should wield a weapon with no attributes or electrical damage.
The enemies are vulnerable to these damage types due to this debuff. So slide through your enemies with Valby and shoot them with your chosen weapons. This way, you can quickly and easily eliminate many enemies.
Be sure to always stand in your puddles, as the passive skill “Water Supply” reduces your MP costs for the skills used.
Valby Build: All Weapons You Need
Weapons that Valby should wield are rare, but these enhance in combination with “Wetness” the damage you can deal. You should choose the following options:
All Weapons at a Glance:
Thunder Cage
Blue Beetle
Why are these weapons so good? The Thunder Cage is the perfect synergy for the debuff “Wetness”. The MP generates electric explosions with some luck when you defeat enemies with it. Since your enemies are vulnerable to electrical damage due to your Valby skills, they are defeated even faster with the Thunder Cage.
The Blue Beetle is the perfect choice if you want to fire at medium distances. When using fusion skills, you gain the effect “Arcane Energy”. This effect increases your fire rate and Skill Critical Hit Rate. This is suitable when you zip around with Valby and activate “Wetness”.
That was our Valby build for you. What do you think of the descendant? Have you already soaked many enemies in your surroundings or have you built your own build? Feel free to exchange ideas with other users about it.

In Pokémon GO there are some special research tasks that you can spend a long time on. A trainer is now showing a message that very few of you might know.
What are special research tasks? Special research tasks are quests in Pokémon GO that you can receive during certain events or times. You have unlimited time to complete them.
There are special research tasks that are available for free to all trainers and others that must be purchased.
By completing them, you receive special rewards such as rare items or Pokémon. A few months ago, you could have received another Master Ball this way.
A trainer on Reddit is showing a screenshot with a message that only a few trainers might know, which he claims to have worked on for 6 years.

What kind of message is that? The trainer shows on Reddit that he has completed all the special research tasks he has received so far. This is particularly special because there are many special research tasks where you need to catch or photograph certain Pokémon.
If these are currently not available in the game, it can take months or years before you can fulfill the corresponding research tasks.
Additionally, new special research tasks are continually being added to the game that you can solve. So if you are on a good path to solve all special research tasks, new ones may already appear and extend your list again.

Blizzard is currently releasing more and more information about the Spiritborn and thus about Vessel of Hatred, the first expansion of Diablo 4. Clever players have already found details in the shown gameplay that suggest some revisions. However, you should consider these hints with caution.
Here are the new details:
In the gameplay for the Spiritborn, it was already visible that the new maximum level is now supposed to be 60 instead of 50.
The current Paragon system is to be completely revised, with experts even suspecting an “endless Paragon” like in Diablo 3.
Where do the hints come from? Blizzard recently released a new video about the Spiritborn, explaining once again the spirits that grant the Spiritborn their power. In this video, you see among other things:
a character at level 60 that no longer has divisions in the level bar, as is currently the case for Paragon points
a small number under the level that presumably stands for Paragon points
Additionally, Blizzard has already talked about new Paragon boards and legendary glyphs for all classes, making a revision increasingly likely. However, we cannot yet say how it will turn out.
Furthermore, Blizzard has already shown some images of new weapons. The experts from wowhead are sure, based on these, that the damage will generally be much lower. The weapon is much weaker compared to the current Diablo 4.
We also noticed this while testing the class. The damage from the Spiritborn ranged from roughly 19 to 50 per attack (without crits). However, on inquiry with the developers, it was said that this is probably only due to the test build that we were allowed to play.
All the information is not confirmed, so you should view it with a certain skepticism.
You can find all the information about Vessel of Hatred in our summary here. Here is the video with the new details:
Start video
Blizzard explains the Spiritborn, the new class in Diablo 4 and its spirits
The hints about endless Paragon, on the other hand, are received rather mixed to poorly. It is good to have something to grind after reaching max level, but a loot box or gold for each level-up would suffice, as long as there is something.
An endless Paragon grind with steadily growing power makes things like the leaderboards completely meaningless, as there would be no relative equality among players anymore. However, the current boards are a much better system than those in Diablo 3.
Vessel of Hatred starts on October 8, and until then you will surely receive more information about the expansion. At gamescom 2024, you will even be able to play the Spiritborn for the first time yourself. However, Season 5 will come first with some changes. Here you can find all the information about the start, theme, and PTR of Season 5.

The developer NCSoft has announced two major updates for the MMORPG Throne and Liberty, which Amazon is bringing to Europe for PC, PS5, and Xbox. The action online role-playing game is set to undergo a fundamental overhaul. There is talk of a “rebuild.” The first update will launch this week in Korea.
This is the story of the MMORPG Throne and Liberty:
Throne and Liberty was supposed to be the new flagship MMORPG for NCSoft, the next game in the extremely successful “Lineage” series (Part 1 was released in 1998, Part 2 in 2003). The MMORPG has been in development since 2011 and was on the verge of release in 2017, then known as Lineage Eternal.
However, Throne and Liberty is not performing well in South Korea. It is doing so poorly that the revenues were concealed at the financial conference. NCSoft is already feeling the pressure from shareholders.

Leap Update aims to save Korean MMORPG
This is set to change: The “Leap Update” is scheduled for July 24 in South Korea, which aims to fundamentally overhaul Throne and Liberty. Another update is expected in August. The update will bring:
Multi-level dungeons
New life skills – fishing and cooking
A boost server
General quality of life improvements and game enhancements
A new skill system, allowing players to specialize
New skill system aims to make gameplay more dynamic and better
This is the key feature: The new skill system is seen as the important feature. Starting at level 30, players can begin to allocate 100 points into various enhancements and weapon skills.
This leads to a different playstyle. Players can now use area attacks and new debuffs with their respective weapons. Or move during combat, whereas before they had to remain stationary. The update is expected to add 12 skills to each weapon.
The goal of the update is to provide players with multiple builds to choose from, all of which are “viable,” meaning they are well playable.
Additionally, there will be an option to save 3 sets of how players have allocated their skills in Throne and Liberty.
According to a YouTuber, our version of Throne and Liberty will launch with this new improved system when it goes live on September 17. However, this has not been officially confirmed yet.
The YouTuber Whelp explains the skill system:

Throne and Liberty and NCSoft are in crisis, now trying to turn it around
Here’s what it’s about: This is a major overhaul to make the MMORPG more action-packed. Whether all this will actually go live in Europe on September 17 is something to be skeptical about. It also seems questionable whether the PS5 and Xbox versions will run optimally at release.
In South Korea, Throne and Liberty is a pure PC game.
What the update makes clear: NCSoft believes in Throne and Liberty and is willing to invest more resources into the game to bring it to better waters. Because the initial reaction to Throne and Liberty apparently fell far short of expectations. After a strong phase 5-6 years ago, NCSoft has recently gambled with too greedy MMORPGs in South Korea and is now facing fierce headwinds: Guild Wars 3: Finally, a new MMORPG has been announced, but the announcement was terrible

Season 5 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 begins on July 24. The accompanying update brings a variety of new content, including new maps, weapons, and modes. In one of the new modes, you will find out how Keanu Reeves felt in The Matrix.
How can you dodge bullets? One of the new modes being added with the launch of Season MW3 is called “COD Warrior.” In this mode, three teams of two compete against each other in various mini-games.
Overall, there are 15 different mini-games in COD Warrior. One of these mini-games is called “Bullet Time!” and allows you to dodge bullets. This is possible because the speed of the bullets fired in the mode is supposed to be extremely slow, allowing you to evade enemy fire with a sidestep or a good old dropshot.
The fact that you can dodge bullets by ducking, throwing yourself on the ground, or stepping to the side strongly resembles the legendary scene from the movie The Matrix. Neo, played by Keanu Reeves, can avoid deadly fire because he can quickly duck backward. However, in CoD, you are not as fast as Neo; the bullets are just much slower.
Currently, Season 4 is still running in MW3 and Warzone. You can watch the trailer for Season 4 Reloaded here:

From unlimited grenades to knife fights and miniguns
What other mini-games are there? Each mini-game is based on the use of weapons, but you only have one life; there is no respawn. A mini-game round is supposed to last between 15 and 90 seconds.
Besides “Bullet Time!” there are these 14 mini-games:
Beat Up the Car!
Each team starts with sledgehammers and a vehicle. The first team to destroy its car wins.
Breacher Ball!
All operators have an unlimited number of Breacher drones as their only weapon. You must survive to win.
Fire!
Form a circle, with each operator carrying the TYR handgun. Draw quickly and survive to win.
Don’t Fire
Listen carefully. In this variation, all operators spawn with the TYR handgun in a circle. Anyone who shoots instantly dies. Survive to win.
Drone Wars
All operators spawn with “Stormenders” and “Bomb Drones.” Survive to win.
Fragged!
In this mini-game, all operators are equipped with unlimited frag grenades and a riot shield.
The Hunt!
The operators are assigned the role of either a hunter or a runner. The hunters must eliminate the runners. The runners have no weapons to defend themselves.
Knives!
The operators spawn only with knives. Survive to win.
“Meta” Loadout
An “ironic interpretation of the meta”, where operators compete with poorly optimized equipment. Survive to win.
Miniguns for everyone!
Each operator receives a Juggernaut suit and a minigun. Survive to win.
Last Ninja Standing!
The operators fight only with shurikens and benefit from increased movement speed and jump height. Survive to win.
Revive!
Each team spawns with a downed operator. The first team to find and revive its downed teammate wins.
Shocking!
You fight in the mini-game under the permanent effect of a shock stick.
Turret Time!
All operators are equipped with Stormenders and a remote-controlled turret. Survive to win.
The different mini-games show that COD Warrior is likely not going to be a very serious mode where you can have some fun and not sweat for victory. This has been a major criticism of CoD for some time, especially due to the introduction of SBMM. Many players want to relax and not always have to give their best.
For several months now, the next manga chapter of Dragon Ball Super has been awaited. A possible reason is a rights dispute.
On March 1, 2024, the mangaka Akira Toriyama unexpectedly passed away. His most famous work is the Dragon Ball series. He was responsible for classic Dragon Ball as well as Dragon Ball Z, GT, and Super.
After the release of chapter 103 of Dragon Ball Super on March 20, 2024, it has become very quiet around the beloved manga. Since then, fans have been waiting in vain for the release of chapter 104.
In addition to grieving Toriyama’s death, there could be another reason responsible for this delay.
Start video
In Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, you can expect a lot of characters
Dispute over rights could delay the next chapter
What is the reason? The reason could be a rights dispute that has erupted. Here, editor Akio Iyoku and publisher Shūeisha are in conflict. Akio Iyoku worked until 2023 as the head of the Dragon Ball Room. As the head of this department, Iyoku’s task was to manage Toriyama’s intellectual property.
Iyoku, who was considered a close confidant of Toriyama and was also involved in the development of Dragon Ball, reportedly initiated a film adaptation of SAND LAND in the past without communicating this to his superiors. SAND LAND is a manga also created by Toriyama. The film was released in 2023.
This action was not well received by those in charge. As a result, Iyoku was transferred to a new department. He disagreed with this decision and subsequently began to make a name for himself independently.
You can find the relevant article about the incident on the X account of Dragon Ball fan SupaChronicles:

In 2023, Iyoku finally founded his own company, which he named Capsule Corporation, in reference to Dragon Ball.
This sparked a dispute regarding the rights to Dragon Ball. While Iyoku demands more rights, the Shūeisha publisher does not want to relinquish its rights.
Companies like Bandai Namco, which are responsible for licensing Dragon Ball, are put in a difficult position by this. It is challenging for companies like Bandai Namco to determine whether Iyoku’s new company or Shūeisha is the right contact. The sudden death of Akira Toriyama further complicates the situation.
This could be the reason why the new chapter of Dragon Ball Super continues to be awaited. Originally, May 20, 2024 was considered as the release date for the new chapter. However, this date was not met, and to this day, the new chapter has not been released.
Square Enix has started a collaboration with the bubble tea chain Gong cha. The aim of the campaign was to reward some bubble tea drinkers with special goodies for Final Fantasy XIV. However, the scarcity of the merchandise has been exploited by scalpers, who are now reselling the free goodies on eBay.
What kind of campaign is this? Visitors of Gong cha have been able to scoop up two special goodies since July 17, 2024, when purchasing three specific bubble teas:
A code for a free mount named Porxie King when a customer orders three bubble teas at once
A keychain based on the design of the bubble tea and a mascot from the MMORPG
However, the goodies are more limited than initially assumed. We have already reported to you how difficult it is to get one of the codes. The Gong-cha shops are only available in a few countries, and even in the stores themselves, there are only a few codes available.
The limitation of the codes has prompted some scalpers to take action. They have grabbed as many of the free codes and keychains that come with the bubble tea as possible, and are now perhaps making profits by reselling them on eBay.
Final Fantasy XIV recently received its new Dawntrail expansion:
Start video
Final Fantasy XIV: Launch trailer for Dawntrail prepares for the adventure in Tural
Scalpers are asking for 110 euros – just for the mount
What are the traffickers up to? To obtain the code, customers need to spend around 14–18 euros for three bubble teas. Some scalpers saw this as an opportunity to make quick money and offered the code for more money on eBay.
The most expensive listings we have currently seen are at 110 euros (via eBay). For 120 euros, we found a complete package that includes all three keychains on eBay. Even with the currently cheapest offer of around 20 euros, the eBay seller could still pocket a few euros in profit.
Terms like “rare” or “limited” also suggest to buyers that they would be acquiring an extremely rare mount. This increases the incentive to buy.
A reddit user writes that they observed a person ordering 48 bubble teas. Afterward, they allegedly threw all the bubble teas in the trash and left with 16 codes for the mount. This shows that the person was only after using the codes to make a lot of money.
Since the campaign runs until August 28, there is a chance that even more such dubious offers will appear on eBay. If you want to try your luck yourself: From Germany, the nearest locations are in Belgium and Strasbourg (France).
With over 20,000 players simultaneously at peak times on Steam and years full of updates with new content, a successor to Hunt: Showdown is likely coming soon.
What kind of game is this? Hunt: Showdown is a PvEvP horror shooter developed by the German company Crytek, released in full version in 2019. In the game, you hunt down bounties and fight against mutants and zombie-like opponents as well as other teams.
Unlike in a battle royale, there isn’t just one winning team at the end. Players can leave the area early and protect their character from death. While a major update for the game is on the way, a successor could already be in the works.
Here you can watch the trailer for Hunt: Showdown:
Start video
Hunt: Showdown sorgt mit neuem Trailer für offene Fragen
Whether it’s a new update or a successor, it’s going to be big
What is now known? Hunt: Showdown is anything but harmless, which is why the game requires an age restriction. This exists in the USA and is provided by the ESRB. A new title named Hunt: Showdown 1896 has now appeared there.
There is also a description for the game’s rating. The title is classified as an adult game. It states that Hunt: Showdown 1896 is a “first-person monster hunting game set in an imaginative version of the Victorian era.”
Furthermore, it says: “Players use bats, clubs, brass knuckles, and pistols to kill zombie-like creatures and human opponents. The fights are underscored by impact sounds, gunshots, and splashes of blood.”
Moreover, it was crucial for the rating: “With some weapons, players can smash zombies’ heads or sever their limbs. One type of zombie explodes in blood and guts when killed; another type wears human skin as a cloak.”
What else is known about Hunt: Showdown 1896? The game is set to be released on PC, PS5, and XBOX Series S|X and contains blood, gore, violence, as well as in-game purchases.
Will there be a successor? Whether a successor is really coming with Hunt: Showdown 1896 remains unclear. There is also the possibility that the announced update, which is supposed to greatly expand the game on August 15, is so comprehensive that it necessitated a new age rating. Usually, ratings are not given for small updates, such as a new boss or a new weapon in the game.
The year also speaks for this. Hunt: Showdown actually takes place in 1895, just one year before the potential successor. So, it is possible that Hunt: Showdown 1896 could just be “Hunt: Showdown 2.0.”
In Pokémon GO, the first Hyperbonus is ending. If you want to level up: Make use of the last hours.
What kind of bonus is this? The first part of the Hyperbonus, which trainers have unlocked over the course of the global GO Fest, is still ongoing.
Part of this bonus is the quadruple XP for catches. This means: Every single catch you make can bring you one step closer to the next trainer level.
By the way: You should also secure the new Zwieps preferably before the bonus ends through limited research or field research, as it might be harder to find afterwards.
How long is the bonus still running? It runs until this evening: On Monday, July 22 at 8:00 PM, it’s over.
So make the most of the bonus as best as you can.
Start video
Heavenly teamwork in Pokémon GO – a new season begins
How can I effectively make use of the XP bonus in Pokémon GO now?
Aim well, gather XP: The goal is to hit great throws. Because every great throw usually nets you 1,000 XP.
With the quadruple bonus, the yield amounts to a whopping 4,000 XP, plus extra bonuses for things like “New Pokémon”, “Caught on the first throw”, “First Pokémon of the day”, and similar. You can quickly rack up very high XP numbers this way.
Double again: If you use a Lucky Egg, the XP yield will even double for half an hour. Then, you’ll get 8,000 XP for the great throw, and all other XP modifiers will also be doubled.
The 7-Day Series: If you manage to get into a 7-day series today by catching your first Pokémon of the day, try to hit great and use a Lucky Egg if possible. Through these series, players have previously collected ridiculously high XP numbers with just one throw when the corresponding bonuses were active.
Incense for spawns: Are there no monsters nearby? Then either light an Incense or simply the free daily adventure Incense. This will give you spawns for the duration of the respective items while you’re walking.
Utilize the Adventure Effect: If you have the primal form of Dialga, you might consider extending your Lucky Egg and Incense times with the Adventure Effect “Time Noise”. Keep in mind that this does cost a fair amount of candy and stardust. You can read more about Time Noise here.
And what’s next? After the bonus is before the bonus, as there will be a total of three different Hyperbonus parts. While the current part 1 ends this evening, the next part of the bonus begins on July 25, 2024. You can find all the content of “Hyperbonus Part 2 and 3” in Pokémon GO here.

What does the trailer show? The trailer presents 17 minutes of fresh gameplay and guides you through the first steps of Soulframe. At the beginning, you can, for example, take a look at character creation, which is somewhat different from what many games offer.
It appears that you are the likeness of your mother and decide in the initial character creation how she looks in your memory. However, the developers promise that this is only the first option to customize your character, with more to follow throughout the game.
The trailer also showcases some of the combat gameplay and exploration of the open world. It shows that you are not limited to ranged or melee combat. You can see how the character throws his shield from a distance or attacks with his bow but can also use weapons for close combat.
All in all, the trailer provides a good insight into the upcoming fantasy MMO and a nice mix of different aspects of Soulframe.
When does the demo start? A demo is also set to launch this year, where you can test Soulframe for the first time. An exact date is not yet known. However, you should be able to expect the open demo in autumn 2024. Recently, the developers reported that the name Soulframe is causing them some trouble. Because it brings unwanted comparisons with another game series.

The Pre-Patch 11.0 for World of Warcraft: The War Within is being released. MeinMMO reveals how you can download the update right now.
The era of Dragonflight is almost over in World of Warcraft. On Wednesday, the major Pre-Patch 11.0 will be released, bringing with it the key dates for the expansion “The War Within”. As usual, such a large patch comes with a fairly hefty download. So that you don’t have to start it on Wednesday, you can download most of the data in advance.

WoW: Trailer for the release date of The War Within
How to download Patch 11.0? To be able to download the large update in advance, you first need to enable this option in the Battle.net launcher, as it may still be disabled by default for many. You can find the option as follows:
Open the Battle.net launcher.
Select World of Warcraft and click on the gear icon next to the “Play” button, then select “Game Settings”.
In the new menu, select the “Downloads” section on the left and scroll down to “Game Updates”.
Under “Automatic Updates”, check the box for “Game-Specific Settings”.
For “World of Warcraft”, select “Latest & Future Updates”.
Confirm by clicking on “Done”.
Additionally, you can check the box for “Pause updates when a game is launched” a bit further up – in that case, patches will only be downloaded when you are not currently playing a game. This helps prevent issues such as high latency in the game due to the large download.
If it looks like this, everything is fine.
You can also check whether everything has been downloaded in the Battle.net launcher. If the pre-download is complete, a notice saying “Pre-download completed” will appear in green text under the blue “Play” button. In that case, you’ll be ready for the patch release on July 24!
Our colleagues at GameStar have created a special issue about the new WoW expansion:
Do you need to download anything on Wednesday? Yes. Even though most game data can be downloaded in advance, a small portion will only appear with the release of the patch. These are the final data necessary for installation, or they might even contain small changes from the PTR. However, this download should be significantly smaller and, in most cases, completed in just a few minutes – if not seconds.
We have explained everything included in the new patch and generally in the expansion The War Within in our comprehensive overview of The War Within. There, you can also find all information related to the story, the new areas, the hero talents, and the Warband feature.

Amazon will reintroduce the office requirement gradually. However, with “Coffee Badging,” they circumvent the obligation. Now, Amazon is taking action against this trick because they do not want to endorse it.
What are some employees doing? According to colleagues from Businessinsider, some employees are resorting to what’s called “Coffee Badging”: employees come to the office, check in, have a coffee, and then leave the office again. This way, they fulfill the presence requirement in the office.
Amazon required its employees to appear in the office three times a week, but there was no minimum hours obligation for each visit. This allowed for a rather elegant solution to the attendance requirement.
Amazon measures working hours and sets minimum for attendance requirement
What is Amazon doing now? Amazon has now started to individually measure the working hours for each person in the office and has established minimum times:
Some employees were informed that a minimum of two hours per visit is required to count as attendance in the office.
Some teams were instructed to stay for at least six hours per visit.
In an email to Businessinsider, Margaret Callahan, a spokesperson for Amazon, stated that the company has begun to speak directly with employees who have not spent enough time in the office.
Reactions to the new regulations have also been lukewarm. Some have already stated that there are surely employees who will soon find out how to circumvent this obligation. And this is not the first time Amazon has struggled with its employees.
Amazon has been struggling for months to bring people back to the office
What’s behind this: Amazon has been trying for months to bring its employees back to the office. However, Amazon has faced strong resistance from employees:
About 30,000 people signed an internal petition opposing this policy. But Amazon was undeterred and even took it a step further:
They blocked the promotion of employees who did not adhere to the work regulations.
Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy warned employees who do not comply with the guidelines that they would have to leave the company.
Right now, the “Pull Mecces Off” campaign is running at the fast-food chain McDonald’s. Along with this promotion, the company has two syrups on offer that you can pour into your cola: popcorn and passion fruit. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus is into such crazy ideas and has unfortunately tried them.
Normally, food and drinks can’t be crazy enough for me. The more unusual a dish, the more I want to try it – at least if it sounds somewhat appealing. As a (nearly) trained chef, I have a pretty good idea of what can taste good and what can’t.
That’s why I was quite excited when our editor-in-chief Schuhmann shared his outrage with us: “McDonald’s now has cola with popcorn flavor!” That sounded like something I definitely want to try.
Since July 15, the chain has new additions on offer: popcorn and passion fruit syrup that you can pour into your cola or sprite. According to current information, these syrups are only available in Germany.
Still, in the same week, I was at my local McDonald’s to try the stuff. Rarely have I regretted something so much.
One person who would probably celebrate the popcorn-cola is Asmongold:

Tastes just like popcorn – But like the burnt kernels at the bottom of the bucket
I really wanted to like this cola. Not just to prove Schuhmann wrong, but also because I have experience with exactly such syrup. And from that experience, I know: it fits well with cola.
McDonald’s, however, or at least the branch here, hasn’t quite figured it out. For comparison, I ordered regular Coca Cola with the syrup. My conclusion:
The syrup tastes like popcorn, but burnt – like caramel that has been browned for too long.
Accordingly, the cola gets a distinctly bitter note that lingers on the tongue longer because of the syrup.
According to nutritional information, the syrup consists of 80% sugar (via McDonald’s), so the cola becomes quite sweet.
Here you can find the official nutritional values per 100 grams
Energy (kJ/kcal): 1352/323 per 100g (or 175/42 per serving)
The further I got down in the drink cup, the worse the whole thing became. The syrup settled at the bottom and wasn’t properly mixed.
The popcorn syrup has pleasant butter notes, as I would expect. Additionally, the bitter aftertaste makes the cola taste a bit like coffee – which really fits. Just the overall picture is simply not rounded.
I know from experience that popcorn syrup as an ingredient can work excellently. In a bar, I once had a drink with a good Jameson whiskey and popcorn syrup. One of the best drinks I have ever had and that I always order when I’m there.
Bill Gates is a co-founder of Microsoft and thinks that neither renewable energy nor nuclear fusion is the future of power supply. He is investing in a completely different project that relies on a metal you might know from chemistry class.
What kind of metal is that? Bill Gates has been investing in a specific project for many years. It involves a nuclear reactor that uses sodium.
Sodium is a so-called alkali metal and is mostly used in combination with other substances. Most commonly, you find it as part of the table salt sodium chloride or in detergents.
What does the project look like? In conventional nuclear power plants, water is used to cool the reactor. However, Gates believes that sodium is the better coolant. An initial facility currently being built in the U.S. state of Wyoming is scheduled to be operational by 2030.
It is expected to provide around 400,000 households with power at a capacity of 345 megawatts. The company behind the project, TerraPower, wants to increase the capacity to 500 MW, which can be produced in five and a half hours.

Why is the first drive in Windows always C?
Sodium offers several advantages in energy generation
What are the advantages of sodium? Sodium has several advantages compared to water:
It can absorb up to eight times more heat, allowing for higher energy production
It is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust at 2.6%, making it plentiful (via Statista)
Sodium protects better against radioactive leaks, thereby reducing the risk of accidents
Surplus power can be stored for several hours, compensating for fluctuations like those from renewable energies that rely on wind and sun
The costs are also an important factor that makes this energy source so attractive. A conventional nuclear reactor is expected to cost around 25 billion US dollars in the U.S. A sodium reactor, on the other hand, comes in at “only” 1 billion US dollars.
What does Gates say about it? Bill Gates believes that sodium is the “most advanced nuclear energy in the world.” It solves all cost and safety issues. He hopes that public perception of nuclear energy would change.
Major accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima have visibly altered the perception of nuclear energy in the world. The public may fear that similar incidents could occur with sodium-cooled reactors.
The age of The War Within begins in World of Warcraft. We will tell you how the process works and when all events and innovations will be released.
Much sooner than many thought, World of Warcraft: Dragonflight will come to an end this week. Even though the release of the next expansion “The War Within” is still a few weeks away, the big pre-patch 11.0 will already usher in the start of many innovations.
But what is coming when? When will the Warbands features arrive? When does the big pre-event start and when does the new expansion begin?
We have all the dates for you at a glance, so you know exactly when it all starts.

WoW: Trailer for the release date of The War Within
Pre-Patch 11.0 goes live
When? July 24. What happens? The big pre-patch goes live. You can download large parts of the patch in advance if you enable that in the settings of the Battle.net launcher.
Once the patch is live, the following major changes will take place:
The Warbands system goes live. Most progress is now account-wide, including the glory levels from Dragonflight.
You can learn all transmog templates, even if they are not for your armor class.
Many mounts can now switch between “sky riding” and “regular flying”. More than 400 mounts can now be used for sky riding.
Guilds are now cross-realm.
All classes will receive the talent revisions from the new expansion.
Leveling is faster as the required XP from level 1 to 70 is reduced by over 45%.
Pre-Event “Radiant Echoes”
When? July 31 to August 27. What happens? In Dalaran, a new quest line begins that introduces you to the event. At regular intervals, various echoes of past battles appear on Azeroth that need to be contained. There are various rewards, including pets, mounts, and equipment. Additionally, twinks should level very quickly during the event.
Typically, these rewards are exclusive and cannot be obtained later.
Early access to The War Within
When? August 23 – August 27. What happens? Those who pre-ordered the Epic Edition of The War Within can start playing the new expansion already now. In that case, you can already experience the story campaign, level your character to level 80, and try out new features such as the “Depths” and the hero talents. You can also level professions early. Additionally, you can explore the 8 new dungeons or create a new character as an “Earthen” – a dwarf race that joins both factions.
The start of early access is set for midnight.

The raid “Palace of the Nerub’ar” is unlocked. The mythic variant of the raid follows on September 18.
The mythic and keystone dungeons (“Mythic+”) are unlocked.
The PvP season starts and you can earn rating. For the first time, there is also a solo queue with rating.
The Depths will receive seasonal rewards and adjustments.
You can earn class sets (tier sets) to make your character even stronger.
What happens next? Even though there have already been some potential leaks about how The War Within will proceed, Blizzard has not yet made any concrete statements. However, it should be noted that the release of the new expansion coincides with the date of Gamescom, where Blizzard will be present. It is likely that there will be discussions about upcoming patches and new content.
Are you looking forward to the release of The War Within? Will you play during early access? Or are you waiting for the regular release before you delve deep into the core of Azeroth?

The 10 episodes of the new series “Those about to die” by Roland Emmerich have been released on Amazon Prime. MeinMMO series expert Schuhmann has ventured into ancient Rome and says: The parallels to Game of Thrones are clear: Many murders, intrigues, sex, and violence. The scenario most closely resembles Gladiator.
This is the situation in “Those about to die”: The series takes place 120 years after the assassination of Julius Caesar. From the civil wars, Emperor Vespasian has emerged as the ruler, a descendant of mule breeders. He has reached the end of his life and must decide which son should succeed him:
Titus is a noble Roman and warrior who has subjugated the Jews but has taken their queen as his mistress back to Rome, which is not appreciated there.
Domitian is a weaselly politician who delights in young boys, places high bets on chariot races, and always seems to be brewing an intrigue.
The situation in Rome is tense: The people are starving, and the grain from Egypt simply isn’t arriving. The restless populace must be appeased with chariot races and gladiatorial fights. And then there’s that volcano near Pompeii.

The psycho from Game of Thrones is the main character of the new series on Amazon
Tenax runs a betting house and mainly operates in the Circus Maximus and its catacombs. He has already made his fortune, and now he wants to rise in society: Tenax wants to open his own racing stable, which is usually reserved for the old nobility. To rise, he will go over corpses. For in Rome, you either ascend or die trying, as he knows.
To help him rise, he has the drunken racer Scorpus, who speaks of himself only in the third person. Scorpus likes to celebrate racing victories with wine and women.
How do we get to know Rome? Just as we explore the world of Westeros through the eyes of the Stark children in Game of Thrones, we see Rome through the eyes of two families of newcomers:
One family comes from present-day Tunisia: Cala (Sara Martin from Death in Paradise) comes to Rome to ransom her 3 abducted children. Her son Kwame will fight in the arena.
3 young men come from present-day Spain to Rome and want to sell their magnificent horses there. They will enter the business of chariot racing.
A third family whose fate we follow belongs to the old nobility of Rome: Consul Marsus and his wife Antonia own the dominant racing stable, “the Blues,” and strive for political power. It cannot be that the descendant of a mule breeder sits on the throne.
The oldest son of the emperor, Titus, is considered the model Roman.
As bloody as Game of Thrones, but not as clever
So much Game of Thrones is in “Those about to die”: A lot of violence and sex, definitely. There are already severed limbs, or it is enjoyed by four together. However, sex often takes a back seat – the series is rated 16, as it is often only suggested, but not lingered on with the camera.
Additionally, the new series on Amazon offers political power games and indulges in the trend of main characters unexpectedly dying. While there are no major battles, there are bloody duels in the arena.
With Iwan Rheon, viewers know the main actor from Game of Thrones. The “biggest name” in the cast, Anthony Hopkins as Emperor Vespasian, does not play a large role in the series – he is similar to Sean Bean in Game of Thrones, primarily a big name for trailers and posters.
“Those about to die” is not as clever and surprising as Game of Thrones. While there are intrigues, they proceed linearly. The motivation of each character is clearly recognizable. The vibrant side characters from George R.R. Martin are sorely missed; the characters are morally gray but largely remain in their defined roles and do not surprise.
From Game of Thrones, the characters have the pragmatic approach. They are also driven by emotions and moods. Even the so-called heroes are capable of acts of cruelty if the mood strikes. A life holds little value in Rome.
The great Scorpus.
Many chariot races in the arena
So much gladiator is in “Those about to die”: The focus is more on the chariot races than on the gladiatorial fights, roughly in a ratio of two to one. We get to know 5 charioteers but only 3 gladiators, including the enormous “Flamma,” a gigantic warrior who seems to spring directly from “300”.
Towards the end of the series, there are some spectacular scenes in the new Flavian amphitheater, where exotic animals come into play.
This is Flamma. Anyone who fights against him already knows their date of death.
Who is “Those about to die” worth it for? The series is solid, but one should not expect a masterpiece; despite Roland Emmerich and supposedly more than $140 million, the budget probably just wasn’t there. Those looking forward to complex plots or great dialogues will likely be disappointed.
Anyone who had difficulty remembering too many names and following too many plots in Game of Thrones will not have that problem with “Those about to die”. The series operates at a similar narrative level as “Last Kingdom”: a series with multiple plots that ultimately does not delve as deeply into the material as Vikings or Game of Thrones but also asks less of its viewers.
The series is reminiscent of the “SPQR” novels by John Maddox Roberts, which take place 100 years earlier.
A problem with the series is that one never really knows how powerful the individual characters are and how many resources they possess. Can Tenax hire five street fighters or fifty? How well protected is a Roman emperor when he is traveling “with full escort”? How powerful is a consul, and how much power can really be bought with wealth? All questions that remain unanswered.
“Those about to die” offers 10 episodes of good, solid television fare. The close focus on chariot racing and gladiatorial fights makes the series somewhat monotonous over time. But there are always nice highlights and exciting scenes – and ancient Rome provides a fascinating backdrop that has been underrepresented in recent years.
While the series takes some historical liberties to seem even more dramatic than ancient Rome already was.
Where can you watch it? Those about to die is available on Amazon Prime in German. The series is rated 16.
Game of Thrones, with its many characters and plots, was a delight for many fantasy fans, especially in the early episodes. For those who crave more series material in this direction, we have compiled this list: 11 series like Game of Thrones

One of the quests in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree revolves around Moore. We’ll show you where to find him and how to complete his quest step by step.
Update, July 11, 2024: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.
Who is Moore? Moore is a new NPC in Shadow of the Erdtree. He comes with his own quest, just like Ansbach, Thiollier, or Ymir. Moore also acts as a merchant. He is a follower of Miquella. You might encounter him shortly after starting the expansion, provided you move in the correct direction.
We’ll show you where to find the guy and how to solve his quest. With our table of contents, you can jump directly to a point of interest.

Finding Moore
Where do you find the NPC? You first encounter Moore at the grace point “Cross at the Main Gate.” This checkpoint is located right in front of the first legacy dungeon Tower Settlement Belurat. If you are a bit further away, you can recognize the dungeon by the twisted columns in front of the entrances.
You can find Moore at the grace point here.
Moore sits at the grace point in front of the steps and initially acts as a merchant here. You can buy various items from him. Some of these help with resistances, such as the “Fireproof Cooked Liver,” which is useful in the fight against Messmer because it provides more protection against fire attacks.
Also, buy the “Note – Sealed Ghost Sources” because it will give you hints about secret paths in the game world.
Talk to Moore. He will tell you that he enjoys finding things for others. He also mentions the so-called “Collector’s Brood.” These are admittedly somewhat creepy creatures that possess crafting books. You need those to craft items yourself.
Finding the Collector’s Brood
What happens next? Now you need to find the creatures scattered throughout the game world and acquire the crafting books from them. With them, you can craft valuable items like the mentioned livers yourself and no longer have to buy them.
Important: The Collector’s Brood is easily confused with an enemy. So be careful when you see a creature like the one in the picture below. Do not attack them, but approach and speak to the Collector’s Brood.
Once you have spoken to them, you will receive the corresponding manual. However, if you attack the brood, Moore will also become hostile, attack you, and the quest will fail. The same goes if Moore dies for any reason. The strange creatures and their crafting books will then disappear.
The Locations of the Collector’s Brood on the Map
Where you can exactly find the Collector’s Brood in the game world is shown on the map:
You can find the Collector’s Brood at these spots.
As mentioned, in most cases, it is enough to simply talk to the Collector’s Brood. Only one of them, number 4, cannot be interacted with. She is sick and sleeps and must first be healed and awakened with a Warming Stone. Afterward, you will also receive her crafting book (4).
Then return to Moore. As a thank you, he will give you the manual 7 of the Collector’s Brood.
What is the next step? Once the Great Rune has been shattered in the game world, return to Moore. You will recognize this event by a loud noise that preferably occurs in front of the Shadow Keep or in Bonny Village.
Back at Moore, who is still sitting in front of Belurat, speak to him again. He will tell you that Miquella’s light is now gone. He also asks if he must now be sad forever.
You now have three different answers to choose from:
Let it go: If you choose this answer, he will side with you in the boss fight against Leda. You will have to fight him, but as a reward, you will get his gear.
Be sad forever: The NPC takes your advice to heart and disappears at this point. If you want his gear, you can find Moore’s corpse at the Crusade Church, where you previously healed a Collector’s Brood.
I don’t know: If you choose this answer, Moore will remain sitting in this spot. You won’t receive his gear this way. Speak to him once more to give him a definite answer.
Warning: All this must happen before burning the Scadubaum. Otherwise, the quest may automatically fail. Complete all NPC quests before this point in the game.
Receiving the Reward
Depending on which answer you chose, Moore’s quest ends in a fight or with the sad death of the NPC. In both cases, you will receive Moore’s Sound Pearl, the Verdigris Armor Set, and the Verdigris Greatshield as a reward.
That concludes the quest. Have you already found and completed other NPC quests in Shadow of the Erdtree? As is typical for FromSoftware, it’s not always straightforward. If you’re looking for more guides to Elden Ring, you can find a range of guides on MeinMMO.
