Shrines are supposed to empower you in Diablo 4 with powerful spells, allowing you to easily mow down enemies or gain other advantages. This works for most shrines – except for one. It is so useless that players not only skip it, it would actually weaken them.
What kind of buff is this?
The Conduit Shrine grants you the power of lightning for a few seconds. This buff has existed similarly in Diablo 3, and it was already considered the best at that time.
During this time, you transform into a lightning ball that can jump to enemies and shoot chain lightning in a small radius.
In the early seasons of Diablo 4, the buff was still incredibly useful, especially for classes with little mobility like Necromancers. By the time of the current Season 4, you should definitely avoid the shrine, at least in the endgame.
This is why it weakens you: The Conduit Shrine is still theoretically strong, but only for low-level characters or those with poor equipment. Because it comes with several disadvantages for almost all builds:
During the buff duration, you only have a lightning jump as a skill on all slots, you can’t cast anything else.
The jump can only be cast on targets, not on the ground – like the Sorceress’s teleport or a jump from the Barbarian.
Since you are a lightning ball, you can’t even use your horse.
Already here, a major flaw becomes apparent: You are simply slower. Most classes can move faster without the shrine, especially since they can freely decide where to use their mobility skills.
More importantly, the shrine deals significantly less damage compared to most builds. Even most mediocre builds from the Diablo 4 tier list do more damage in the endgame than the shrine itself.
Since you can acquire really good equipment much faster in Season 4, you’ll probably be stronger than the shrine in just a few hours of gameplay. This means: You can really only benefit from it while leveling – and even then, only in certain cases.

“It only harms you more”
In a thread on Reddit, a user asks if anyone is still using the Conduit Shrine. The buff just makes them slower, and many other players see it the same way.
Others quickly point out that even Druids suffer under the shrine. Simply because it interrupts or deactivates their transformations and related buffs, leaving them practically defenseless afterward, the Conduit Shrine cannot be used.
The discussion also touches on the fact that the shrine was once the best. With the Conduit buff, you could previously one-shot nearly everything and every build benefited from the short boost.
Today, everyone is so much stronger that the shrine, which has not been changed since, is a downgrade for all. Even other shrines, such as the Protection Shrine, are often avoided – at least by builds like the Thorn Barbarian. If you take no damage, you can’t reflect any. Whether the shrines will improve with the upcoming season is still unknown – but at least we already know one new feature: Diablo 4 is bringing a new mode in Season 5 that promises tough fights and great rewards

The Twitch streamer HandOfBlood recently held a nearly three-day live stream to master the new Elden Ring DLC. He entertained many viewers and experienced some surprising moments.
His goal was to stream continuously until he completed the DLC. Spoiler: Unfortunately, he didn’t quite manage that. Nevertheless, the stream was highly entertaining for many viewers and brought him up to 20,000 viewers (via Sullygnome).

Laughing Yoga to Laugh the Final Boss Down
How did HandOfBlood achieve that? Besides his usual witty style, there were many funny moments and the joy of the viewers watching HandOfBlood struggle with an Elden Ring boss. But the highlights of the stream were probably the surprises.
There were also many unexpected moments for the streamer: From Laughing Yoga, which was supposed to help laugh the final boss down, to a DJ, pretty much everything was included that made the stream a huge event on Twitch.
When HandOfBlood got hungry, he was surprised by a waiter from his favorite restaurant. Alternatively, by his friends, who diligently prepared cabbage rolls and interrupted him in the middle of a boss fight, as shown in a clip on TikTok.
Despite the motivations, he was unable to complete the DLC after nearly 3 days.
Why did he fail? The main reason for this is the final boss of the DLC. In total, the streamer gave his all for over 12 hours to defeat him. However, after nearly three days in the early morning, he decided to end the marathon stream and continue normally with the DLC in the following days.
His community seems to show a lot of understanding for this. Many of his viewers had already advised him during the long hours to perhaps first take a nap and try the boss again with a fresh mind.
Final Fantasy XIV offers many options for solo play for the lone wolves among you, especially after the numerous adjustments between the Endwalker patches. The concept of the MMORPG is designed to be as accessible as possible.
In this guide, we will look at how solo content works in FFXIV and which classes you should choose to achieve your goals in the MMORPG.
Also, check out our beginner’s guide for more helpful tips:
The answer to this question depends on how you define solo play. Basically, you can play through the entire campaign of the game and all dungeons up to the endgame without ever having to talk to other players.
However, you will not always be alone. Some content requires you to join a group. This happens automatically, and you do not have to search for players or be a member of a guild yourself.
Here is an overview of the content:
These activities can be done solo
In the open world, you can do almost everything on your own. This includes, for example:
Story and side quests
Favors
Daily quests from the Beast Tribes
F.A.T.Es – spontaneous events on the maps
Monster hunting in your bestiary
These activities make up a large part of the content at the beginning of the game and provide you with a lot of EXP.
F.A.T.E.s are marked on the map with blue circles. Most of them can be completed solo without any problems.
For these activities you need a group
Instances are generally considered group content in Final Fantasy XIV. You need a group of either 4, 8, 24, or more people to master most of this content.
During the leveling process up to 90, there’s no way around this. These activities include:
A large part of the dungeons
Trials – major boss fights
8-man and 24-man raids
The Deep Dungeon – an instance for leveling classes where you don’t need a fixed group composition of tank, healer, and 2 DPS.
In the content search, you have an overview of all dungeons and boss fights in the game.
If you enter these instances solo through the content search, you will automatically be grouped with the corresponding number of other players.
Almost all old content from FFXIV is kept relevant through dailies, so you should have no problems finding people for very old dungeons.
What is the Content Assistant System?
This is how it works: This special solo-friendly system was introduced with patch 6.1 and allows players to enter dungeons with NPCs. So if you don’t want to deal with other people in instanced content, you can enter some of the dungeons with a group of NPCs.
The content menu for NPC groups.
It doesn’t matter which class or job you play, NPCs will fill the remaining group slots. This saves you, for example, from the wait time for a group if you are out as DPS and have to wait a bit longer. In return, NPCs normally move slower than players.
In this way, you can play the game in many mandatory dungeons that are necessary for the story alone. Currently, all mandatory dungeons from the base game A Realm Reborn and all expansions can be played with NPCs.
Is there a “best solo class” in Final Fantasy XIV?
Yes and no. If you are just starting fresh in FFXIV and are in the process of creating a character, you will have the following options available:
Gladiator and Marauder as tank classes
Pugilist, Lancer, Archer, Thaumaturge, and Summoner as damage dealers (DPS)
Druid as healer
At this point, you can choose the class that appeals to you the most from the in-game description.
You can change it freely in the game if you don’t like it.
You will be able to progress alone with all these classes in the game. This also applies to advanced jobs that are only unlocked at levels 30, 50, or 60.
In FFXIV, you can play any job with one character.
Which class should I take now? In the open world, meaning in the activities listed above, none of the classes or jobs offer particularly large advantages or disadvantages. Even if a Druid can heal themselves, it does not necessarily make them better suited for solo play.
The difficulty of the content in the open world is designed to be manageable with all classes without major issues. From this perspective, any class is “the best” for solo play.
However, this does not mean that all classes are equal. Some are indeed better suited for players who prefer to play alone and quickly.
You can check which job suits you best in our guide:
That’s why some classes are better for solo players than others
The inequality of classes arises from the differing needs for tanks, healers, and DPS in group play. It is a classic problem of MMORPGs that use the Holy Trinity concept.
This leads to DPS players often waiting longer for their spot in an instance group compared to healers and tanks. Depending on the content and the time of day, waiting for a DPS can take between 5 and over 30 minutes.
In the end, it depends on your “solo priorities” which class is better suited for you.
I want to progress through the MMORPG at my own pace: Then choose a class that appeals to you the most. In mandatory dungeons and boss fights, you will have to wait a bit longer for a group, but there is plenty of content outside of instances. You can craft or gather resources while waiting for a group, for example.
I want to get to the endgame quickly: Tank and healer classes are more suitable for this. With these classes, you will rarely have to wait longer than 10 minutes for a group. However, as a tank or healer, you will take on more responsibility for the group than a DPS. It is your job to keep everyone alive.
Are there classes that are favored in the endgame?
The endgame usually consists of farming dungeons and raids to obtain better equipment or cosmetic items in MMORPGs.
While this is group content that cannot be mastered alone, there are ways to get by without a guild if you prefer.
Again, it is usually irrelevant which class you choose. The same rule applies as with other dungeons: DPS wait longer, tanks and healers have more responsibility.
This is the hardcore endgame content: In challenging content, it becomes more complicated for solo players. If you still prefer to play alone and without a guild at this point in the game, you have the option to participate in this content even when it is no longer available in the content search.
Players use the group search for this. In this feature of FFXIV, they can specify exactly which content they need people for and what their requirements are.
Group leaders specify in the search the content they are looking for, which language they speak, whether they want only one or multiple kills, and more.
Again, tanks and healers are often more in demand. However, their responsibility also increases with the difficulty of the content. Especially healers often have a lot to do in epic raids.
If you are not deterred by this, then you can choose between these jobs:
For DPS, the current raiding meta determines how in-demand they are in groups, and it often changes after new balance adjustments.
What does it mean for me as a solo player?
If you intend to play solo in the endgame, it means two things for you:
Familiarize yourself with the group search: Not every group search is suitable for everyone. Some players want to practice the first phase of the epic raid fight, while others are already close to the kill. So think beforehand about which type of group suits you best and don’t hesitate to create your own search with your own requirements.
Bring patience: In random groups, the skill levels of players can vary greatly. Don’t expect quick and easy kills in difficult raids. You will often wipe, groups will often fall apart, but then you find a new one and continue.
And don’t be discouraged! I myself raided through the group search for a long time. It can be frustrating, but it works, and many players get their loot every week through this feature.
Is the DLC for Elden Ring really that hard, or are you just bad at it? The expansion has been buried under an avalanche of criticism, despite many gaming sites praising it highly. We at MeinMMO are trying to understand where this discrepancy comes from.
With the announcement of the DLC “Shadow of the Erdtree,” a dream came true for many fans. A sequel to the game that enchanted them so much.
Many gaming sites, including ours, were among the first fans to visit the Shadowlands and test the expansion. The result: reviews with very good scores and endless praise – on metacritic with an overall score of 95.
On June 21, 2024, the players got their turn. They eagerly awaited a DLC that would be on par with the base game. Now, a few days after release, reality sets in.
The expansion is being bombarded with criticism on Steam. The DLC is said to be far too difficult and poorly optimized. We looked at both sides and will show you where legitimate criticism lies.

Masterpiece or pure torture? – What the reviews say
What were the reviews like on the websites? Extremely positive. Many gaming sites praised the DLC and shared their opinions on metacritic. With an overall score of 95 points, the expansion catapulted itself to a must-have. The following aspects were celebrated:
The great bosses
The secrets that await you
The items like weapons, armor, and spells
Additionally, the scope of the expansion was celebrated. The DLC feels like a game within a game and offers fans many things to explore to get lost in for hours.
There was hardly any negative criticism. The difficult bosses were mentioned, but not cast in a bad light. Performance issues? Again, not really. However, it is a different story in the communities.
What did fans complain about? Fans had a lot to complain about:
Way too difficult bosses
Slow progress
Poor performance
Co-op mode for seamless gaming no longer works
On metacritic, the user ratings are divided. A large portion of fans (465 votes as of June 24, 2024) loves the DLC, while only a small part of fans (95 votes as of June 24, 2024) is dissatisfied.
The situation is different on Steam. There, the expansion is being bombarded with criticism and dropped from a “very positive” rating to a “mixed” rating. The main reason: The DLC is simply way too hard. The following opinions can be heard on Steam:
“It’s too hard for me, I admit that. I feel a bit like I’m in a gamble hoping the bosses will use their very punishable attacks too often.” – Corpse Patty
“It needs optimization; the frame rate always drops to 20 FPS and it’s very laggy.” – arda.guersoy
“I’m very disappointed. You can go too far with this. The bosses are extremely aggressive, leaving hardly any opportunity to attack.” – PilotFrosch
“Good DLC, but I’m not sure if I would recommend it unless you’re a hardcore fan of the base game.” – Halver
It becomes clear that the DLC is much harder than the base game, and if you’re not used to such difficulty, frustration will arise sooner or later. A run through the DLC can feel like pure torture. But why do the opinions of players differ so much from those of gaming sites?
An expansion, two player experiences
Why are the opinions so different? One could philosophize about the reasons, but for me, the reason is clear: time and experience.
Players who eagerly wait for a release play the expansion in their own way, unlike editors who have to report on it. Critics are given early access to such titles or expansions to test them and write about them.
For them, the focus is to gather as many impressions as possible in a short time to report on it. Many impressions may be overlooked or missed, which would be important in a review.
Players, on the other hand, have all the time in the world. They enjoy games and expansions at their own pace and do not have to figure out where the best dungeon or next meta weapon is hidden. This makes problems much easier to notice, as such things can dampen the enjoyment of gameplay.
As for the difficulty classification, one could attribute this to the experience of the players. Elden Ring attracted many new fans upon its release who had never had anything to do with the souls genre before.
Those who have been around for a long time know the approximate difficulty level of new expansions in the Souls games. Many players seem to be overwhelmed because the DLC is essentially Elden Ring, but 10 times harder.
Even I, with my 10 years of experience in the genre, was thrown to the ground by the bosses and had to experiment for several days with two bosses before I got through them. But that was something I was used to. I enjoyed that challenge, and I believe many veterans of the genre feel the same way. However, players who are used to the relaxed vibe of the base game and then find themselves overwhelmed by the Shadowlands will look back with frustration sooner or later.
Shadow of the Erdtree is a topic in itself. Those who know the lore of Elden Ring understand that the Shadowlands is not a place for relaxation. Only the toughest have survived in this place, and that perfectly fits the expansion.
The “base game” of Elden Ring was relaxed and resembled a mystical wonderland full of freedom. The expansion is its distilled form, with only the hardcore left. As newcomers to the genre, it is understandable to feel quickly overwhelmed.
As for performance, not much can be done besides upgrading hardware. Elden Ring runs on the engine that also powered Dark Souls 3, which is very old. Depending on the platform you are playing on, you may experience more or fewer issues. In our tests on PS4 and PS5, we found no problems other than some stutters. Essentially, these are the same performance issues we encountered at the release of Elden Ring.
If you overlook these and focus more on the game, you can also overlook some hiccups in the world of Shadowlands. For my part, I must say that the DLC for Elden Ring is the toughest piece I have ever played from FromSoft and I love it.
In Star Wars, kinship is not only an important theme, but often also a mystery. While we know who Anakin Skywalker’s mother is, we never find out who his father is. However, there is an official explanation from a comic.
Kinship is a central theme in Star Wars. Already in the original trilogy, kinship was an important theme in Star Wars. The question of Luke’s father was a central plot twist of Episode 5.
Curiously, we never learn in the films who Anakin Skywalker’s father is. We meet his mother, Shmi Skywalker, already in Episode 1, but the father is never properly mentioned. However, since 2018, it has actually been known who Anakin’s father is, and it has even been officially confirmed by Disney.
Soon you can once again playfully immerse yourselves in Star Wars:

An Absurd Story
In Episode 1, Shmi explains to Qui-Gon Jinn that Anakin actually has no father, as she gave birth to him alone. As Jeuxvideo reports, the official comic series Star Wars: Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith tells stories about Darth Vader. It also provides some background information about the character.
In issue 25, the true father of Anakin Skywalker is discussed. As it turns out, Anakin’s birth was part of Palpatine’s plan, who manipulated the Force to impregnate Shmi. This fits with the almost biblical role that Anakin is said to have in the prequels and is basically the story of the birth of Jesus.
This also reminds us of the origin of Rey Skywalker. She is the daughter of a clone of Palpatine (via Wookieepedia). This admittedly absurd explanation has caused a lot of angry fans, who have long been dissatisfied with Disney’s direction. Recently, Star Wars: The Acolyte caused trouble with the fans.
Unlike some old books and comics that are categorized under Legends, this comic is canon, thus recognized by Disney as official story.
Star Wars and new backgrounds are always a matter of contention. Often something is retconned later, meaning original rules are changed. With Rey, it was previously said that Palpatine was her grandfather. Later, that was changed with the clone story. But if one just wants to enjoy the movies, one can ignore such background information. Since Disney bought Lucasfilm, George Lucas no longer works on Star Wars, which he finds regrettable: George Lucas was very disappointed when Disney did not want him for Star Wars 7 – he compared it to a breakup

On Reddit, a user shows the fatal consequences that poor quality control in a graphics card factory can have.
What was the problem?The Reddit user kentukky had overheating problems for weeks with his brand new RTX 4090 from Palit after his illustrated report in the pcmasterrace subreddit. It was apparently not usable for him as intended.
What did the support do? Judging by the statements of the Reddit user, they were not very helpful. He describes customer support as a joke. Therefore, he set out to solve the puzzle himself. He disassembled the fan.
Something seems to have been forgotten…
What did the user discover in his GPU? When he took apart his brand new RTX 4090, the cause jumped out at him: The thermal pads were glaringly absent; they were never installed in the factory. Thus, the crucial medium for effective heat transfer from chip and memory to the fan was missing.
A burning out of the graphics card was always averted by the nonetheless minimal heat transfer, but operation under heavy load was inconceivable.

Is the GPU now running perfectly? Yes, his repair (or completion?) with pads and thermal paste – without assistance from the manufacturer – succeeded. Now he uses the silent BIOS of the graphics card and can still enjoy quite high, but not worrying temperatures of around 80 degrees – so no more overheating.

Gyms in Pokémon GO are important for earning coins. That is why some people do not like it when they are taken over too early. Rightly so?
What is the conflict? There is currently a discussion going around in the Pokémon GO subreddit that highlights an interesting topic: When are you actually “allowed” to take over gyms?
In the game itself, there are no rules about this: You can conquer a gym from another team at any time. This means: If the Pokémon of the trainers have been there for less than eight hours, they do not receive the maximum number of 50 coins per day from that gym.
That is why some players have the rule that you should leave the Pokémon in the gym long enough for all of them to get their daily coins. And that leads to conflicts from time to time.
How do you deal with gyms in Pokémon GO?
The reddit post describes the experience of a user who was confronted by another trainer because he had “kicked out” their Pokémon “too early” – after his own Pokémon had only been there for a few minutes and was kicked out by the other player.
You can check out the discussion in the subreddit here:

In the comments, it becomes clear that some players find themselves in such situations from time to time. Users report that some players are very strict about leaving Pokémon in the gym for eight hours.
On the other hand, there are also players who make sure that their gym attackers only kick out other players when the coin limit is reached. Some expect this to be reciprocated, while others do not care. It is seen as annoying when trainers insist on the “rule” but do not adhere to it themselves.
And again, there are others who just aim to reclaim their gyms as quickly as possible. They just want their team to have as many gyms as possible.
Now we want to know from you: How do you actually handle this topic? Participate in the survey:
Do you approach the topic of “gyms” in your communities in a way that you try to give everyone certain times in gyms? Or do you just play in a way that you take gyms as soon as you can? Tell us in the comments what you think about this. And if you generally do not care about the team conflict in gyms: Team Harmony in Pokémon GO takes a completely different approach to the issue and does without the classic teams.

Due to high losses, Bandai Namco Online is facing bankruptcy. The subsidiary of the Bandai Namco Group is responsible for offering the corporation’s online games worldwide. Current projects include the MMORPG Blue Protocol.
What is known? The Japanese website gamebiz.jp reports that Bandai Namco Online allegedly incurred a loss of 8.2 billion yen (more than 51 million USD) in the last fiscal year.
Due to the continuing growing deficit, the Bandai Namco Group’s subsidiary is believed to have become insolvent. There has been no official statement from the parent company so far. However, on June 24, 2024, a notice about the sale of shares was released (via bandainamco.co). Whether these two announcements are related is currently unclear.
The Bandai Namco Group itself is likely to still be doing well. Elden Ring has sold incredibly well over the past two years (25 million units), and the newly released DLC Shadow of the Erdtree is bringing in more revenue. Tekken 8 also saw strong sales in February 2024.
Here is the story trailer for Elden Ring – Shadow of the Erdtree:

What does Bandai Namco Online do? Bandai Namco Online operates under the slogan: “Online games from Japan to the whole world.” Specifically, it is about developing service games for Bandai Namco and distributing and supporting them worldwide.
The currently most important games from Bandai Namco Online include:
IDOLiSH7 (Rhythm action game for mobile devices)
SD Gundam Operations (Role-playing game for web browsers)
Gundam Tribe (Tower defense game for web browsers)
Blue Protocol (Anime MMORPG)
Another project, Gundam Evolution, was apparently such a flop that the service had to be discontinued in November 2023 (via reddit).
In mid-June, the developers of Blue Protocol addressed the community in a more than three-hour stream to detail how they plan to turn things around positively. However, there was again no update on the launch in the West, which was also planned for 2023.
If the reports about the disastrous finances of Bandai Namco Online are confirmed, the plans for the Western release of Blue Protocol could end up in the trash. On reddit, some players are already saying goodbye to the thought of ever being able to play the MMORPG.
Slylok writes: ‘I had been looking forward to this game for years and then forgot about it somehow, and now it might never come.’
Aceeed also seems pessimistic: ‘The game has so much potential. It’s a shame it will likely perish before its release in the West.’
jonizerr0rr shows schadenfreude: ‘I think banning all Western players from the Japanese server wasn’t such a good idea after all.’
What do I need to know about Blue Protocol? At first glance, Blue Protocol may seem like a typical MMORPG from Asia with a free-to-play model. However, the online action RPG places an unusually strong focus on story presentation and PvE challenges for solo players, small groups, and 30-player raids.
Additionally, the colorful cel-shading style makes Blue Protocol appear like an interactive anime. And according to Alexander Leitsch, who watched the Japanese version for several hours last year, there is also a lot of gameplay potential – I played Blue Protocol and say: This will be the best MMORPG of the last 9 years

Destiny 2: The Final Shape „Edge of Salvation“ Raid Trailer
One class item every 15 minutes
How does the player proceed? First, he equipped the combo finder on his Ghost. Then he went to the section in the Bleached Heart of the Traveler and completed the toppling event until he reached the boss. At this point, he left the boss because the event did not need to be continued.
Next, he quickly traveled back to the section. Once he arrived there, he went to the far right corner of the area into the cave section. There he waited for about 10-15 seconds. During this time, the screen pulsed, indicating that the chests in this area had spawned.
He then followed the prescribed path to circle the map and collect the chests. Starting from his point in the cave, he essentially made an 8 around the map and collected the chests. The chests appeared in random locations, but by frequently applying the method, he reportedly learned their spawn positions and became even more efficient.
After circling the map and collecting up to 4 or 5 Hive chests, he quickly traveled back to the section and repeated the process. This method yielded him about one class item every 15 minutes.
Community reactions: The community has reacted very mixed on Reddit to the post. Some seem to have great success with the same method, while others have had relatively little success. Some players then suggest that it also has a lot to do with luck how well this method works.
Some users write:
Frost8223 writes on Reddit: I tried it and did not get any class items until the 90th chest.
Exodus180 notes on Reddit: I did this twice for a little over an hour. I only got one class item.
Chefman11 replies on Reddit: The RNG is weird. I did this for 3 hours last night and got 8. Today it took me 1 hour and I got 4. On average about 20 minutes or so. My buddy tried it for a couple of hours and got 1. It’s all a matter of luck.
On Steam, you can currently secure a Soulslike for half price. You should take advantage of this offer, especially if you have already finished Shadow of the Erdtree.
Which game is this about? Thymesia is a Soulslike action role-playing game developed by OverBorder Studio and published by Team17. The game was released in August 2022 and has since received 85% very positive reviews on Steam.
Start video
Thymesia impresses with its atmosphere
In Thymesia, you take on the role of “Corvus”, a plague doctor who has lost his memories and is now trying to regain them. In search of these, you explore medieval castles and villages, which, however, have been invaded by a mysterious disease.
The streets you traverse are almost deserted. You will only encounter those afflicted by the disease, and they will want to eliminate you. Initially, you should encounter more humanoid enemies here, but over time, especially the bosses become grotesque creatures.
Especially fans of the Soulslike genre should take a look at Thymesia. You can expect a fantasy setting with a dark atmosphere reminiscent of the Dark Souls series, along with an aggressive combat style similar to Bloodborne. The abilities and weapon selection, however, should remind you more of Sekiro.
Why should you secure this offer? Currently, you can get Thymesia for 50% off on Steam. This means that instead of the full price, you only pay 12.49 €. However, the offer is valid only until June 27, 2024. So if you are looking for a new Soulslike or something for after the Elden Ring DLC, you shouldn’t miss out on this offer.
Players advise against buying Thymesia at full price
A look at the reviews (via Steam) also shows that you should ideally secure Thymesia on sale. While many players praise the role-playing game, the atmosphere, and the lore, they recommend buying the game on sale.
One user summarizes his positive opinion, praising especially the setting, the satisfying combat system, and the interesting “wound mechanic”. However, one criticism from many players is the playtime, which many find too short. In some reviews, there is also the question about a sequel.
Currently, you can obtain one of the rarest Pokémon in Pokémon GO. Despite the low chances, we want to know if you’ve already received it.
What kind of event is this? Currently, the event Smoldering Steps is taking place in Pokémon GO. The event started on Friday, June 21, 2024, at 10:00 AM and will run until Tuesday, June 25, 2024, at 8:00 PM.
The focus of the event is on hatching eggs. In addition to a reduced distance needed to hatch the eggs, there is also an increased chance of encountering shiny Snorunt and Leafeon, as well as one of the rarest Pokémon, which is available as shiny for the first time in the game.

Chances are also low in the event
Which Pokémon is it? Ignivor, the Pokémon from the 5th generation with the types Bug and Fire, can be found in eggs in its shiny variant for the first time during this event.
However, since Ignivor is in the rarest category of Pokémon that can be hatched from eggs, it is correspondingly rare. If you want to obtain it, you need a lot of luck or a large number of eggs to hatch during the current event.
We want to know: how about you?
What does the community say about it? On Reddit, some trainers report their attempts to get Ignivor during the current event. Even though some have succeeded, there are many trainers who have unfortunately been very unsuccessful so far.
Additionally, there are comments that consider hatching eggs in Pokémon GO to be a form of gambling and therefore do not focus much on it.
I hatched 60 eggs and didn’t get a single Ignivor, says the creator of a post on Reddit
All egg events are basically a lottery. It makes no sense to buy a bunch of incubators. Just passively hatch the few eggs. Everything will come back eventually, says a trainer on Reddit
I have already hatched 42 eggs during the event and have not received a single Ignivor, writes another commenter on Reddit
Hatched 28 eggs. 0 Ignivor, reads another comment on Reddit
I may have hatched 25-30 eggs and got 5 Ignivor, mostly from 2- and 5-km eggs. [..] It’s all a gamble, writes another trainer on Reddit
So it really is a matter of luck whether you’ll get an Ignivor. If you want to get it before the event ends, keep hatching the 2-km, 5-km, and 10-km eggs. Maybe you will even get a shiny one.
We want to know how it is for you. Please participate in the survey and let us know in the comments if and how many Ignivor you have already received and how many eggs you hatched for it. If you want to know which events are coming up in June 2024 in Pokémon GO, we have the right overview for you.

The online role-playing game Tarisland indeed relies on a free-to-play model, but the shop, subscription, battle pass, and crystals come with optional costs. How expensive is the MMORPG? MeinMMO reveals it!
How does the payment model of Tarisland work in detail? The MMORPG by Level Infinite and Tencent lures with free access (free-to-play), and you can actually experience all content of the launch version without spending money.
However, typically for free-to-play, the developers offer some optional paid offers aimed at generating revenue for the publisher:
there is an in-game shop
the real money currency, crystals
a kind of battle pass
an optional subscription
MeinMMO will explain what each service entails and how much they cost.
Crystals – the real money currency
You primarily need the crystals to purchase many of the offers from the in-game shop. Additionally, you can buy monthly tickets, weekly tickets, name changes, or silver coin supply chests for crystals.
Here are the costs for purchasing crystals via crystal refills:
60 crystals: 1.09 Euros
330 crystals: 5.49 Euros
700 crystals: 10.99 Euros
1,800 crystals: 29.99 Euros
3,600 crystals: 59.99 Euros
7,250 crystals: 114.99 Euros
Alternatively, you can also exchange so-called colorless crystals for in-game gold.
The cinematic trailer of Tarisland prepares you for the new MMORPG:

Market – the in-game shop of Tarisland
The market currently mainly offers cosmetic items such as weapon and armor skins, headgear, back accessories, auras, mounts, and pets. Prices vary from offer to offer. Both ground mounts, for example, cost 1,980 crystals each, equating to about 33.26 Euros each. The flying mounts cost 2,680 crystals each, which is about 44.25 Euros each.
Pets are cheaper. For the cute companions, you need to budget around 6.54 Euros to nearly ten Euros. Weapon skins also cost 6.54 Euros each. A special starter set for newcomers is said to be worth almost 50 Euros.
Additionally, in the market, you will find the area “Destiny’s Reward.” There, you can spend earned or purchased Prayer Stones to obtain silver or one of the cosmetic items from the current prize pool. If you win an item you already have, you will receive Fate Bows that can be exchanged for special mounts and sets.
Anyone who wants to get such a mount for 1,600 Fate Bows must invest countless Prayer Stones into the random prize pools of the Tarisland market.
What about the shop? In addition to the in-game shop, there is also a separate shop where you can primarily invest in in-game currencies like silver, rare medals, or glory awards. However, some popular items also cost crystals:
Adventure Association Monthly Ticket: 450 crystals
Adventure Association Weekly Ticket: 150 crystals
Rename card for name change: 380 crystals
Supply chest of silver coins with 100 silver and one Prayer Stone: 90 crystals
Weekly and Monthly Ticket – the subscription of Tarisland
In the market, you will find the “Monthly Ticket” tab, through which you can obtain Tarisland’s optional subscription. Unlike in the shop, the prices are listed in Euros:
Weekly Ticket (7 days of subscription benefits): 2.09 Euros
Monthly Ticket (30 days of subscription benefits): 5.49 Euros
Half-year Ticket (180 days of subscription benefits): 30.99 Euros
When signing up for the first time, special goodies like gold or a skeleton raptor mount await.
What advantages does the subscription bring?
There are more drops from the Tarisland chest.
The reputation reward for the “Destiny’s Manual” is 40 percent higher.
The battle pass EP from daily activities of the “Destiny’s Manual” is 30 percent higher.
The tax rate in the trading center is reduced by eight percent.
You can offer items for free in the trading center.
The offering spaces in the trading center increase to ten.
You can list three orders for sale in the trading center.
You gain access to a portable warehouse.
You can fish automatically.
In the market, there is an advantage for purchasing the Stone of the Arcane Realm.
For every 100 spent Elan, you receive ten Elan back.
The optional subscription of Tarisland.
Battle Pass – the Battle Pass of Tarisland
You will find the Battle Pass in the “Season” section (red banner), where you also access the “Destiny’s Manual” and your seasonal rank. Season 0 is called “Secrets of the Void,” and the associated Battle Pass is available in both a free and a paid version, each with 60 levels.
The paid version “Gift of Destiny” costs 24.99 Euros and provides you with
What else should I know about Tarisland? Tarisland is a theme park MMORPG that focuses heavily on dungeons and raids and has been released for PC and mobile. There is no console version or controller support. A story campaign guides you through the leveling phase. In the game world, you will also find side quests and events.
After the first weekend with the new DLC for Elden Ring, the big topic is the difficulty. Many players find the DLC way too difficult. However, an old-school player advises you to make use of a feature that many neglected in the main game.
On Reddit, a user now gives other players the tip to use a neglected feature, as the game is designed for it. This concerns the ashes that give you allies. The most famous of them is the Mimic Tear.
The ashes and many weapons already caused some discussions in the main game, as many players neglected opportunities to significantly ease the game. Back then, some even cried out for nerfs: Elden Ring – players discuss the balancing.
You can catch a glimpse of the DLC for Elden Ring in this trailer:

They are no longer optional
In the Reddit thread, the user TheHessianHussar talks about how he, as an old-school Souls gamer, ignored summons in the main game to get the real experience. But he now recognizes that spirit summons are no longer optional.
He describes how he has tried 64 times to defeat his second DLC boss and couldn’t even get him below a third of his health. After that, he threw his pride out the window and used the Mimic Tear. With that, he defeated the boss after the second attempt.
In the end, he recommends people simply use the ashes; one can take the ethical route in the second playthrough.
Under the thread, countless comments accumulate; for example, it is mentioned how complaints about the bosses from the main game were also voiced when a new player asks about them.
JetPackM: Yes, we had Margit […] “Pre-Patch” Radahn (he just had janky hitboxes that needed fixing), and summons were worse than murder… Wait, people still think that…
mixx414: I always find it so lame when people gossip about others using summons. And yes, I think that’s just as lame as this. Insisting that summons are no longer optional.
whatistheancient: They are definitely still optional. It depends on how much you want to practice the boss.
The post is filled with people preaching that you should just play the game however you want. What about you? Do you use everything the game offers, or do you set limitations for yourself? Let us know in the comments. Before the DLC, the most difficult boss was probably Malenia. The DLC shouldn’t actually be harder, but MeinMMO author Christos Tsogos takes away your hope: The bosses in the Elden Ring DLC should not be harder than in the main game – but that was a bold-faced lie.

Son-Goku is training in Dragon Ball continuously to become the strongest fighter in the galaxies. However, there was an episode where he had a totally normal job. Nevertheless, he saved some lives in it.
What episode is that? The 10-minute special episode titled “Goku’s Fire Brigade” was released on June 8, 1988, in Japan. Unfortunately, the episode never made it to Europe, which is probably why very few of you have seen it.
In this episode, Son-Goku, Krillin, Yamcha, and Muten Roshi become firefighters. Son-Goku is seen here as a child and still has his tail, which has not grown back over time.
It was not part of the regular anime but a special episode designed to teach small children how to properly handle fire hazards.
You can watch the episode in the following YouTube video from The Visual Media Archive:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCn-uaa61Kw
Son-Goku becomes a life-saving firefighter
What happens in the episode? The video shows several dangerous everyday situations where a fire occurs. Son-Goku, Muten Roshi, and the others face multiple fires and teach the viewers how they can prevent the fire:
Some children want to start a fireworks display. Meanwhile, Son-Goku is training in the park and notices that one of the rockets lands in the trash can. The trash ignites, but Son-Goku puts out the fire with a bucket of water.
Several fire hazards are shown, including a fire on the stove, an iron, a cigarette, and an open gas valve.
Bulma also becomes a victim of a fire. She is taking care of her kitten and forgets that she leaves oil next to the gas stove. Due to an earthquake, which occurs more frequently in Japan, the oil spills onto the fire, and Son-Goku has to rescue Bulma and her kitten from the apartment.
In the end, each of the situations resolves well. Son-Goku and the firefighting team manage to extinguish all fires and rescue the affected people safely. The emergency services’ number is also provided at the end so that viewers know whom to call in case of an emergency.
The anime for Dragon Ball continues with Daima:

Dragon Ball DAIMA is nostalgic in the new trailer
Is the episode official? The creator of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, has never clarified whether the episode is an official part of the story and where it can be placed.
However, the mangaka was involved in the script. From the characters appearing and Bulma’s hairstyle, which changes several times throughout the anime, we also know that the episode could have taken place before the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament.
Even if the episode may not be part of the official story, it would fit well into it.
The first expansion of Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred, takes you into the jungle areas of Kurast: Nahantu. Now, some first images have emerged that show the area. MeinMMO editor and Diablo expert Benedict Grothaus is pleased with the look, but the shown enemies are a point of contention.
We already know the area from images from Blizzard. However, a player on Reddit has allegedly shown screenshots from Nahantu.
Visible are stone buildings reminiscent of Mesoamerican architecture. There are totems made of bones and wood in skull shape, brackish water areas, and trees like those found in swamp areas:

The leak allegedly comes from the pre-order of the Ultimate Edition of Vessel of Hatred. However, we cannot confirm how exactly the user obtained the screenshots – nor their authenticity. However, the images look consistent; it’s quite possible they are real. And that’s what makes me a bit skeptical.
What bothers me about the images: The screenshots show not only the environment but also some of the possible new enemies. Among them are:
Snakes and snake people
Zombies and grotesques
Daemon crawlers
Shamans like those of the Fallen
The models are not surprising; such enemies fit perfectly in the jungle. What bothers me now is that they all look like recycled versions. Every model – with the exception of the grotesques – has already appeared in Diablo 4.
Start video
Trailer for Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred provides insight into the story of the expansion
These enemies are just not fun
Especially in Hawezar, there are already plenty of snakes and snake people that look almost identical to those in the images, just without golden scales. The shamans may be a bit stockier but have the same posture as those of the Fallen.
That wouldn’t be a problem if these exact enemies weren’t already among the most annoying in the game. They can one-shot you, revive their friends, and stand somewhere off-screen being bothersome.
For me, the problem is not that the same enemies may appear, but that it’s simply not fun to play against them. An entire area filled with these creatures is already sucking the enjoyment out of exploration for me.
Here for comparison are the official screenshots and artworks – The style is very similar:
“Calm down”
So far, there are only these 4 images and no information about the enemies. That they are exactly like the annoying types from Hawezar and Co. can only be inferred, but not confirmed. At the moment, this is merely a concern.
Users on Reddit comment similarly and say: Trying to draw conclusions about the entire expansion from these few screenshots is a bit much. And yes: Especially in dungeons, new enemies and bosses are likely to appear.
Some players are even harsher on the leak. They say: This all looks just like what we already have in Diablo 4. And they get immediate counterarguments. If Blizzard has shown one thing, it is new areas (or “tiles”) and enemies in every Diablo expansion:
Just think of every single Diablo expansion since Diablo 1. New monsters, new tile sets. Can we just NOT assume that three random screenshots represent in any way what is coming in the expansion? So much negativity in the sub.
And yes, I am also sure that Blizzard will put effort into Vessel of Hatred. I already like the area extraordinarily well, even though hot jungles are not typically my preferred biome. The atmosphere seems to be very well captured. We will see how the expansion actually looks in the fall: It will be released on October 8. Here you can find all information about Vessel of Hatred.

The Berlin YouTuber Marvin Wildhage has been known for years as someone who causes a stir with troll videos, while also uncovering grievances. Now he has pulled off a coup that is seeking attention nationwide: he bypassed all security measures and sneaked into the opening match of the European Football Championship.
Who is that? Marvin Wildhage is a YouTuber known for “prank” actions that are supposed to serve a higher purpose. He doesn’t just throw a suitcase into the crowd, shout “bomb” and jump away, as real rabbits do. Most of the time, he aims to uncover that something is not quite right and how easy it is to manipulate things or people:
In the same month, he sneaked into the influencer football event “Battle of The Socials” dressed as “Knossi”, because he was offended for not getting an entry ticket (via general newspaper)
He has now done this on a large scale again and infiltrated the highly secured opening match of the European Football Championship between Germany and Scotland in Munich dressed as a mascot. This caused a scandal because it raised the question: If a YouTuber gets into the stadium so easily – couldn’t a terrorist also easily get into the stadium? (via tagesspiegel)
He can be easily tricked, but what about UEFA?
Start video
From the Witness Stand with Barbara Salesch to the King of Twitch – Career and Life of Knossi
Wildhage faces the consequences: stadium ban, public criticism
These are the consequences for him: As Wildhage says in a new video, he was detained after the action in the stadium while his personal details were recorded and he was “determined” questioned by a public prosecutor. They would have let him go later that night. However, Wildhage doesn’t complain – particularly the police officers behaved impeccably towards him.
After the incident, he lost two cooperation partners who distanced themselves from him. He believes this could be because they might want to work with UEFA in the future. However, he has also received support offers from other partners.
In addition, he himself received a stadium ban after the incident (via tagesschau) and was described as a “freak” by the head of the Bavarian police union. Other media had also criticized him: he defends against the insinuation made in the show “SternTV” that he only does this for clicks and money.
Wildhage seems proud of his action, sees himself in the tradition of Böhmermann
This is how he sees himself: He sees himself in the tradition of Jan Böhmermann with his video on the topic “Sought Daughter-in-Law”: Although his video is entertaining in itself, it also uncovers grievances.
He lists in the video some weaknesses of the security concept that made it so easy for him to get into the stadium.
Apparently, some security measures have now been improved in football stadiums because of his video, as he says.

He says his video with the mascot was even number 1 on the YouTube trends, but he believes there was “some interference” to make it quickly disappear from the trends. Nevertheless, the video has reached two million views.
Even though he suppresses it somewhat, he seems proud of the action and cites several media reports from the “best journalists in the country” who understand what he intended to achieve with his action.
The new DLC of Elden Ring is currently keeping the community occupied with tough bosses and numerous puzzles. However, many are wondering how long the playtime of the DLC is. We give you the answer.
How long is the playtime of the DLC? Depending on prior knowledge and experience, the DLC can easily be completed in 8 – 12 hours. However, if you take your time exploring and have not collected all Scadubaum fragments, the duration can stretch significantly.
We have already spent up to 100 hours in the DLC and still have not fought, discovered, or uncovered everything. Shadow of the Erdtree offers many options to get lost in your explorations.
The map of the shadow lands is confusing and complicated and ensures that even players with good orientation skills can get lost. Numerous dungeons, caves, and secrets are waiting to be discovered and solved. Hidetaka Miyazaki’s new adventure is not for everyone and, with its difficulty, makes even the most experienced players need a break.

Elden Ring introduces the boss enemies of the DLC
DLC offers over 41 bosses, secrets, and items to collect
What is so extensive in the DLC?Over 41 bosses are waiting for you, more if you even count NPC intruders. Additionally, the expansions offer many powerful talismans, weapons, spells, and summons as well as armors that can be found or farmed. Someone who wants to collect all things in Elden Ring will be able to spend a lot of time in the expansion.
Moreover, the new items provide many reasons to start NG+ again. Items like the karate gloves or the dragon form ensure that you can build new builds to tackle the DLC’s bosses in different ways. However, if you only want to complete the DLC and finish the main story, you can get through in less than 8 – 12 hours – provided you know where to quickly gather your Scadubaum fragments.
Now it’s your turn, how long did it take you for your first playthrough? Have you finished the DLC yet or do you still need some time to explore everything? Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments. You can find more about our guides here in our overview: Elden Ring: All guides, beginner tips, and builds at a glance.

A player wanted to pump his character in Diablo 4 up to half a million health points and fails in the attempt. The fact that this could even be possible already creates discontent in the community. They believe: The class balance of the game is currently poor and the recent changes are absurd.
They are particularly strong because they possess many times the health points of other classes, can take more damage, and deal more damage. The damage displayed on the character sheet (“Paper Damage”) far exceeds that of other classes. A large part of these numbers comes from the fact that barbarians can carry more weapons than any other class and thus have more stats available.
A user on Reddit aimed to achieve a target of 500,000 health points in Season 4. Even with all the potions, battle cries, and fully upgraded gear, he only reaches just over 478,000 health points. His journey ends here, but it has sparked a dispute.
This is the criticism: Instead of congratulating him on his achievement, players in the thread are upset about why such numbers could even be possible. Or more precisely, why only barbarians can do such a thing:
I love how barbarians have 10 to 20 times the health pool and damage of other classes, and Blizzard is planning even more buffs for them. #1 game design here.
Sorcerers in a similar condition as the shown barbarian might reach 18,000 damage and the same amount of health points – nowhere near half a million. Even some barbarian players are surprised by the new and upcoming changes.
Even though all other classes also receive buffs, there is directly a nerf for sorcerers: Teleport will have a cooldown of 14 seconds instead of eleven. This is already causing trouble, as the skill is not just for movement, but is an important defensive ability. Teleport can trigger barriers or stuns, for example.
In another thread on Reddit, users are already complaining about this change, calling it “salt in the wound.” Sorcerers now have the worst defense of all classes, and the nerf makes them even worse.
Users hope that the upcoming PTR will be used to implement community feedback, possibly reversing the nerf on sorcerers and adjusting class balance a bit. Strong barbarians are not even the problem, but the fact that no other class can keep up: Mid-season patch buffs many classes, but players feel two deserve more love

As with many other MMORPGs, there are also regular Twitch Drops for Tarisland where you can secure cosmetic or useful in-game items. What drops are currently active, how to obtain and unlock them, is explained by MeinMMO here.
Which Twitch Drops are currently available for Tarisland? At the launch of the MMORPG, three Twitch Drops were announced, but you can only earn two of them now:
Bunny Wants Candy – a cosmetic pet
Friendly Duck – a cosmetic headgear
To secure these two Twitch Drops, you need to watch one or more participating Twitch streamers of your choice playing Tarisland for two (pet) or five hours (hat).
However, the items will only arrive in the game if you have linked your Twitch account with your Tarisland account. Once you have completed the required number of hours, Twitch will notify you via an update in the Notifications tab. There you can also claim the unlocked items and transfer them to your in-game mailbox.

Which Twitch Drop is no longer available? In addition to the Twitch Drops listed above, there was the opportunity to secure a Reindeer mount by watching participating streamers for eight hours. However, this Twitch Drop was limited to only 50 Twitch users, which was sharply criticized by parts of the community (via reddit).
Free2Play, for PC and Mobile, with a PvE focus
What else do I need to know about Tarisland? Tarisland is a theme park MMORPG that focuses heavily on dungeons and raids and was released with a free-to-play model for PC and mobile. There is no console version or controller support.
A story campaign guides you through the leveling phase. In the game world, you will also find side quests and events. There is crafting, solo challenges, an amusement park, and instanced PvP content.
To start the DLC in Elden Ring, you must have completed a few things. To help you know how to get to the Shadowlands, we will show you the necessary steps in our guide.
How do I get to the DLC? To access the DLC of Elden Ring, you first need to defeat two bosses:
Starscourge Radahn
Mohg, Lord of Blood
Once you’ve defeated both, return to Mohgwyn’s Palace and visit the decaying cocoon of Miquella. Next to it, you will also meet a new NPC: Leda. She will provide you with some new information snippets about the DLC.
Touch the hand of Miquella to be teleported
After your chat, all you need to do is interact with Miquella’s withered arm, and you will be instantly teleported to the new realm of the Shadowlands. Now we will show you where and how to best defeat Radahn and Mohg.
Finding and defeating Radahn
Where do I find Radahn? To find Radahn, you must visit Castle Redmane in Caelid. Once you reach the Site of Grace “Impassable Great Bridge”, use the teleporter on the left side (see Image 1).
You will be teleported inside the castle. Run north and speak with Knight Jerren to start the feast. After hearing the speech, you can continue marching north to take the elevator.
Now you can take another portal to reach Radahn’s battlefield.
The portal on the impassable great bridge leads you into the castleFollow the arrows towards the arena
How do I best defeat Radahn? Radahn can be easily defeated if you carry weapons with bleeding damage and summon fighters in the arena. If your companions are defeated, you don’t have to worry, as their summon signs will reappear at the ghostly banners.
Finding and defeating Mohg
Where do I find Mohg? There are two ways to find Mohg:
You complete the quest for Varré the Field Surgeon until he gives you the item “Medallion of the Pureblood Knight”.
Use the item to teleport yourself to the area of the Blood Prince.
Look for a bloody portal in the Sanctified Snowfield northeast of the ruins of Yelough Anix.
Defeat the bloodhound that haunts you as an intruder to activate the portal.
Once you’ve entered his realm, you can use our map to find the way to his palace.
Follow the marked path – Watch out for aggressive enemies
How do I best defeat Mohg? Mohg is a tough guy, but there are various builds to defeat him. As a mage, you can either use your Comet of Azur or rely on bleeding damage. But don’t forget one of the most important potions, as it counters one of his most unfair attacks.
