Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 2 minutes

Next month, players in League of Legends can look forward to the new Anima Squad. A trailer now suggests who will be included. The community is particularly excited about two champions.

League of Legends’ big summer event is approaching, and in this context, some leaks regarding new skins have recently surfaced. A new teaser trailer reveals more information.

League of Legends teases champions for new skins

What kind of squad is this? The new Anima Squad 2024 is set to be released on July 17, 2024, in League of Legends. In the past, several champions have already received an animal-themed look. Among others, there have been Battle Wolf Sylas, Battle Bat Vayne, Battle Bunny Riven, or Battle Cat Jinx skins.

While it is not yet officially known who will make it into the Anima Squad this time and thus receive a new skin, a teaser trailer now gives hints about the champions. In the trailer, you can hear several voices of the squad members.

Two members already mention their names in the teaser, which is why we can be sure that Illaoi and Seraphine will be part of the squad.

What does the community say? The community is discussing in the comments (via YouTube) and on Reddit which champions are likely being heard. Most users agree that besides Illaoi and Seraphine, they also hear Yuumi and Aatrox.

“This sub will go crazy”

Other users are discussing on Reddit whether a voice belongs to Sett or Yasuo, with most betting on Yasuo. “He was also in the leaks,” emphasizes a user in this discussion.

“Yuumi AND Seraphine? This sub will go crazy,” writes a Reddit user in their comment. Indeed, many players are expressing their immense excitement about these two champions.

In many YouTube comments, the choice is often referred to as “legendary” precisely because of these two. “My queen,” writes a user in their YouTube comment about Seraphine. “I love that Yuumi is literally a cat on a keyboard,” states another comment.

What do you think of the suspected lineup of the Anima Squad 2024? Which characters would you have liked to see get an animal look? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. We don’t yet know how much the skins will cost. Of course, we hope it won’t be a fortune: Riot explains why they made the skin for €500 and that they would do it again

The MMORPG ArcheAge is dying this month, but the successor is already in the starting blocks

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 2 minutes

This month, a new ArcheAge MMORPG is launching. Everything we know can be found here.

What kind of successor is this? ArcheAge War is the new MMORPG from publisher Kakao Games. It is supposed to be based on ArcheAge. A recently announced official release date has been set.

ArcheAge War is set to launch on June 27, 2024. On the same day, you will have to say goodbye to the MMORPG ArcheAge. It will be shutting down its servers, and we reported back in May that some private servers are already trying to attract players to continue playing there after the shutdown.

What information is available? The ArcheAge War MMORPG is set to launch in the English version for PC and mobile. There should not be any region locks or other restrictions. In addition to SEA servers, there will also be international servers.

Through the official website (via teaser-aaw.kakaogames.com/SEA), players in some countries can already register early for the game. For pre-registration, there will also be bonuses and items available, including the “Ring of Promise.”

You will also be able to secure a username through the website until June 23, 2024, which you can then use to start in the MMORPG later.

More PvE, more story, and smaller PvP groups

What can you expect? ArcheAge War is supposed to offer you more PvE and story content than the original. There have been mentions of dungeons and a campaign mode in advance. The PvP content in the new MMORPG will focus on smaller groups, while large-scale PvP from the predecessor will be omitted.

The official website is already presenting the 6 different races you can choose from:

  • Nuian: A very humanoid race that fights honorably and believes in Nui, the god of death.
  • Warborn: A race with powerful horns that were once brutally slaughtered as minions of the demons.
  • Elves: After losing their leader, the elves became fierce fighters.
  • Harani: The Harani are said to be the descendants of the hawks.
  • Dwarves: The dwarves have found their fortune in Archeum and are determined to defend it against the intruders.
  • Firran: The Firran are a cat-like race and are known as “wind warriors.”

Additionally, you will be able to choose from nearly 40 class combinations to prepare for exciting battles on land, water, and in the air. If you’re still looking for a good MMORPG, this list could be helpful for you: The 5 MMORPGs with the best housing in 2024

Palworld Sakurajima update: All information about release, pals, and features

jacquelinek jacquelinek Reading time 2 minutes

As part of the Summer Game Fest 2024, Pocketpair presented a new free update for their game Palworld titled Sakurajima. MeinMMO reveals what the new update has in store for you.

[toc]

Palworld Update: Content and Release Date

When will the update be released? The new update won’t keep you waiting long, as it will be released this month, on June 27.

What kind of update is this? The free update for Palworld is titled “Sakurajima.” The update includes a new, Japan-inspired island – fitting for the title. There will also be additional new features that may be particularly interesting for those who prefer multiplayer gameplay.

This is not the first significant free update in Palworld; a few months ago we received changes with the Update v0.2.0.6, including the first raid boss.

You can watch the trailer for the new update here:

Palworld Update: New Island & New Pals

Is there a new island? The new update brings a new island into the game, which, alongside a giant house surrounded by cherry blossom trees, apparently has even more to offer. Furthermore, the trailer shows that there will be a kind of bamboo forest and a swamp area.

In addition to the new island, another location has also been announced: the Stronghold Oil Rig. It looks like players will face exciting battles here.

Are there new Pals? Along with this, new Pals will be introduced, as well as new subspecies of existing Pals. As an example, we see a new form of Quivern in the trailer.

Palworld Update: New Boss Fights

Are there new boss fights? What may also be of interest to many is the new raid boss. With the last update, the demand for endgame content was addressed by introducing Bellanoire as a raid boss. The new raid boss promises another challenge after watching the trailer.

In addition to the new raid boss, there will also be a tower with a new boss fight. We do not yet know where the new tower will be located.

Palworld Update: New Features

What can players expect in multiplayer? A pleasing news, especially for Xbox and Game Pass users, is that there will also be dedicated servers for these players. Additionally, the trailer announced an arena where you can compete against other players.

What other features are there? However, the changes mentioned are not everything: there will apparently be new buildings and a new level cap. However, the exact level cap has not yet been disclosed.

Palworld is one of the biggest releases of 2024 and has broken numerous records. A 20-year-old who works part-time in a mom-and-pop store is seen as a significant factor in Palworld’s success. To find out why, read here: Palworld: Why the success is based on a 20-year-old who worked part-time in a mom-and-pop store

First reports on Monster Hunter Wilds sound enthusiastic – Even better than Monster Hunter World?

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 3 minutes

For the Summer Game Fest, there was new information about Monster Hunter Wilds. According to some reports, the game looks fantastic so far. It might even be better than Monster Hunter World.

What is Monster Hunter Wilds? Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest installment in Capcom’s popular Monster Hunter game series. Following the highly popular Monster Hunter World and its successor Monster Hunter Rise, it continues to develop the game franchise.

For the Summer Game Fest 2024, there was a completely new trailer showcasing new monsters. You can watch it here:

An NPC in the previous trailer caught the player’s attention so much that the game received two completely inappropriate tags on Steam.

These features make Monster Hunter Wilds better than World

What’s new in the game? The colleagues at Dualshockers were able to see a presentation from Capcom at the Summer Game Fest regarding the game. They summarized it in a preview, focusing mainly on the open world and weather system.

It was already suspected that Monster Hunter Wilds would feature an open world, and now we have confirmation and more information about how it is designed:

In its predecessor World, players often had to deal with loading screens and long treks through the camp. This is no longer the case. In Wilds, you start in an open world and can set up your own base camp at any location, which becomes a fast travel point on the map.

Additionally, after completing a hunt, you will no longer be automatically teleported back to camp. You can loot freely and just keep walking. Overall, the game feels less disjointed, even though it still definitely looks like Monster Hunter.

The new dynamic weather also surprised the colleagues: While this feature has been around for a long time in other games, according to Dualshockers, not with the intensity that Monster Hunter Wilds brings. The weather affects the open world to such an extent that entire regions and their fauna change.

A sandstorm was supposedly shown in the presentation, causing new monsters to appear and others to disappear. There were also suddenly appearing fires, and the monsters became generally more aggressive. Moreover, it was noted that the Apex Monster of the area only appeared with the storm. The Apex Monster even had a spectacular battle with another monster.

The weather change turned a known region into a completely different one.

What else do we know about it? Initial information and rumors have been around for a long time. We reported about it in March, among other things. The open world, for example, had been predicted for a while. Here are more details:

  • The entire game is supposed to take place in the open world
  • The game has been in development since 2019
  • The boss of Monster Hunter World, Yuya Tokuda, is leading the development – this has now been confirmed (via X.com)

Additionally, the colleagues from IGN had the opportunity to speak with the developers at the Summer Game Fest about the game. The discussion mainly focused on the cooperative mode: In Monster Hunter World, it was very cumbersome, which is something players fear in Wilds as well.

However, the developers reassure: They want to simplify the coop and make it seamless.

So far, the news about Monster Hunter Wilds sounds positive. We will only know if and how it will actually turn out at release. Currently, there is no precise information about it, but it will likely not go online before 2025. Until then, you can engage with other games, for example, the MMORPG Tarisland is launching soon: On Friday, the largest MMORPG for PC since Lost Ark is being released, so you should take a look.

Are solar modules still usable after 31 years? Scientists have tested some of the oldest panels in the laboratory

Gerald Wessel Gerald Wessel Reading time 2 minutes

Tests reveal important insights for the energy transition. Not all solar panels are equally robust, but a trend is recognizable.

What kind of modules are we talking about? As our colleagues from Xataka report, the charity Hespul installed a series of small 1kW modules in Lyon in 1992 and connected them to the grid – a premiere. They were the first solar modules in France. Their name: Phébus 1. In 2023, the solar panels were dismantled and brought to the lab. After 31 years of operation in wind and weather, are they still usable?

Less relevant for the future, but definitely an exciting art project:

Start video
In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?

Beyond the Guarantee

What were the results of the tests? On average, the mini power plant achieved an efficiency of 80 percent. Some degraded by about 34 percent, while others lost only 13 percent of their output. The manufacturers guaranteed significantly less: they promised only 80 percent efficiency across all modules after 25 years. The modules from Phébus 1 would still be usable today without any issues.

More on the topic
Space weather up to solar storms: Auroras, GPS disruptions, and power outages, the possible consequences are diverse
von Gerald Wessel

Where does the difference between the panels come from? The variance can be explained by the smallest differences in materials and manufacturing – especially considering the age of the products themselves. Back then, the solar industry was still in its infancy, nowadays lesser differences and likely also a higher performance retention can be expected. You can read more about this, for example at Gruenes Haus with references to the Fraunhofer Institute.

How is a solar panel tested? In a completely darkened room, the solar panel is exposed to a bright, standardized flash of light. Subsequently, it is measured how much electrical energy the panel gains from it. If this is done at different points in time – for example, with a 31-year gap – it can be traced how the performance of the panel has decreased.

So roughly 80 percent of the incoming sunlight is converted into electricity? No, the laboratory’s statements do not indicate the efficiency. It quantifies the energy converted into usable electricity. And this value is likely to be poor for these old solar cells from France compared to today, probably under 20 percent.

As a newsletter from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection states, this is now over 25 percent for top models.

Nintendo presents new Zelda – Finally, you have the opportunity to play as the princess

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

A new Zelda game titled The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is set to be released in 2024, breaking with the gameplay principles of the series.

What kind of game is this? On June 18, 2024, Nintendo announced a new game in the beloved Zelda series: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

Unlike in previous main games of the Zelda series, you won’t take on the role of the brave hero Link, who rescues the missing Princess Zelda. Instead, you will play as Princess Zelda, who is searching for the disappeared Link.

Strange fissures appearing throughout the kingdom are responsible for the disappearance of Link and the other inhabitants of Hyrule.

When is the new Zelda coming? The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is expected to be released later this year, with the release date planned for September 26, 2024.

Start video
Nintendo has introduced The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

What makes the new Zelda special? As Eiji Aonuma, the producer of the Zelda games, revealed, Echoes of Wisdom breaks with the previous gameplay principles of the series. You will not be wandering through the game world with sword and shield, but will receive a so-called Tri-Stick from a fairy named “Tri,” which allows you to create echoes.

Echoes are imitations of objects you find in your surroundings. For example, you can create a copy of a chair to climb on it to overcome an obstacle. You can also create echoes of stones and throw them at enemies or copy monsters that will then fight alongside you.

Solving puzzles using the Tri-Stick is an important part of Echoes of Wisdom – whether you are building bridges, throwing stones, or using the stick to reach higher areas.

Intel, AMD and Google have no chance against Nvidia – Here’s why you as a gamer should be interested in the arms race in AI

Gerald Wessel Gerald Wessel Reading time 2 minutes

New comparisons attest that graphics card manufacturer Nvidia is unrivaled in the calculation and training of AIs. And this ultimately affects all gamers. Why that is the case, you will find out here on MeinMMO.

Why should you be interested in Nvidia’s ability in Artificial Intelligence? AI can already do a lot these days and is gaining more capabilities almost daily. Nvidia has also been focusing on AI in gaming for several years now, specifically on the subfield of machine learning.

Every title that uses DLSS benefits from the company’s knowledge in this field. Therefore, it holds true: Every Nvidia user can be happy because the games look better and perform better at the same time.

What is DLSS? Deep Learning Super Sampling, that is what DLSS stands for. Simplified, it is a program code that runs on your Nvidia RTX 2000 or higher GPU, providing you with more frames per second—resulting in a smoother image with minimal loss in image quality. The overarching topic here is: AI-Upscaling.

What do the benchmarks say? According to a report from zdnet, Nvidia took first place in a comparison test across all disciplines and also secured second place with a differently configured system. Only then did AMD, Intel, and Google follow with competing products.

Techniques like DLSS are also immensely important for implementing modern VR environments, such as Deep Dive:

The “Deep Dive” is supposed to immerse us into MMORPGs deeper than ever before – What is it actually?

What was tested? No graphics cards that you can easily purchase in retail were used on Nvidia’s side. However, the technology of the RTX GPUs and the tested H100 models are related. In both cases, so-called Tensor cores are used. If anyone wants to know more, they can read about the devices for large customers at Nvidia.

How was it tested? The systems had to complete various tasks, all related to the training of AIs, that is, their preparation for everyday use, which included:

  • Chatbots
  • Image recognition and generation
  • Analysis of large amounts of scientific data

Speaking of artificial intelligence: Even outside of helpers like DLSS, they have long been indispensable, but they are often the villains. In the case of the sci-fi strategy game Stellaris, both apply. Because the developers at Paradox Entertainment relied not only on one or another AI creation for the creation of the latest expansion “The Machine Age”, but also elevate machine intelligence narratively to a completely new level – as an enemy or also as a friend.

Diablo 4: With Patch 1.4.3 the most important seasonal tool should have been fixed – But Blizzard ultimately broke it

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 3 minutes

On June 17, Patch 1.4.3 for the Mid-Season of Diablo 4 went live and fixed several bugs in the game. The seasonal elixir was also supposed to be fixed – now it is completely broken.

The “Holy Bolt” elixir is a seasonal elixir that came with Season 4 in Diablo 4, alongside the “Elixir of Momentum.” The “Holy Bolt” elixir grants you two strong bonuses:

  • After you kill an enemy, holy bolts are shot from their corpse
  • XP gain is increased by 6%

The elixir came with Season 4 in Diablo 4. If you missed the trailer for the new season, you can watch it here:

Start video
Diablo 4 Season 4 “Loot Reborn” in the gameplay trailer

Elixir was especially strong against bosses

Why was the elixir the most important seasonal tool? Before the bug fix, the damage dealt by the elixir was related to the health of the enemies. This made it especially strong against bosses and elite enemies. For necromancers, this provided a particularly strong effect, because: The elixir triggered when you killed an enemy, but also when your servants did the job. This effectively turned servants into bosses.

After the patch, however, the damage now scales with the damage of your weapons. How strong the elixir still is after the patch will become apparent as soon as it functions properly again.

What exactly was changed? Before Patch 1.4.3, the “Holy Bolt” elixir caused the damage to scale “unintentionally high” when you had minions with you. It was apparently just too strong when players fought against powerful enemies. This was supposed to be addressed with the patch.

Blizzard writes the following in the patch notes:

The Holy [Bolt] elixir now deals a percentage of your weapon damage as damage instead of a percentage of the enemy’s health. This change aims to reduce effectiveness against stronger enemies in higher tiers of the Pit […].

news.blizzard.com

However, the overhaul of the elixir apparently introduced a new bug into the game: Activating the “Holy Bolt” elixir caused crashes. Currently, you can’t use it at all. Its effectiveness against bosses and elite enemies has also been weakened.

Why is the elixir broken? On one hand, the change in damage means that the elixir is no longer as strong against bosses. Additionally, community manager Adam Fletcher wrote in the Diablo 4 forum on June 17 that the “Holy Bolt” elixir is apparently causing game crashes.

The specific “power” of the elixir has been disabled. While players were still able to use the potion at that time, Fletcher did not recommend doing so. The team is working on a solution.

Elixir is now completely disabled

Has the issue been resolved? The current status is that the issue has not been resolved; on the contrary. In the game, the “Holy Bolt” elixir has now been completely disabled. When you use it, you hear the usual sound, but nothing happens; no icon appears above the skill bar. You have the same number of potions after using it as you did before.

The adjustment of the powerful elixir was also related to the “Pit.” The developers wanted to reduce its effectiveness against strong enemies in higher tiers of the Pit. However, the elixir was still intended to be useful in the game. Especially the high tiers of the Pit are quite a tough nut to crack. The patch adjusted the difficulty levels of the Pit; before that, players were asking if the high levels are even doable without cheats.

ARD presenter tattoos live on Twitch, chat fears a ban

Sarah Sarah Reading time 3 minutes

The ARD surprises its viewers on Twitch not only with watch parties, but also with unusual actions: Recently, host Malte tattooed the tattoo artist Steven during a livestream, while the chat feared a ban.

Since when has ARD been streaming on Twitch? It may surprise some, but the ARD has been streaming on Twitch for a while now. They started in October 2022, after a break until January 2023, they have been streaming regularly since then.

Most of the time they are active in the Just Chatting format, with various formats. They have also played games like Electrician Simulator and House Flipper 2 on their channel.

On average, they reached about 1100 viewers in the last three months. Among their most notable followers are LetsHugoTV, EintrachtSpandau, DoktorFroid, and SkylineTVlive.

On June 17, they were live on Twitch again. This time there was a watch party for the football match between France and Austria. However, the actual highlight of the evening was not the game, but host Malte who got to tattoo the tattoo artist Steven.

There are always crazy actions on Twitch:

Start video

“I really want to tattoo someone today”

How did the tattoo action come about? During the football match, ARD host Malte expresses: “I really want to tattoo someone today because Antoine Griezmann is also tattooed. He is somehow tattooed from head to toe. That’s why I said: ‘Hey, dear production, please get me someone.'”

At this moment, tattoo artist Steven from Bochum enters the room and offers himself as a practice subject. When Malte washes his hands in the toilet, he jokes about hopefully not getting banned on Twitch for it.

Why were these jokes not unfounded? After all, DrDisrespect was banned in 2019 when he did an IRL stream from E3 and visited the toilet multiple times while continuing to film.

The streamer Tanzverbot also received a ban in 2023 when he placed his phone on a sink in a public toilet during a stream. This resulted in a person in the stream washing their hands, which led to a short ban.

“Suddenly, I’m getting really nervous,” says the host

What was tattooed? With the score at 1-0 for France, Malte and Steven go about their mission to tattoo. The design and the location are set: the lettering “Malte” with a stick figure underneath on the inner thigh.

How did the session go? At first, Steven jokes as Malte disinfects him: “Now you can rub nicely so we both have fun” and later, “you should be gentle.” Malte has a brief moment of doubt and asks, “Oh guys, do we really want to do this? Suddenly, I’m getting really nervous.”

But he goes through with it and makes the first strokes. As Malte gains more self-confidence, the chat gets nervous.

What did the chat fear? Numerous messages feared a ban.

  • Volcanoenthusiast wrote: “You will get banned on Twitch for this.”
  • Stierkamp wrote: “But please without blood, otherwise ban.”
  • Treppecologne wrote: “Yes, tattooing is actually banned, but let’s see, it is ARD after all.”

This is because the Twitch guidelines state: “We allow a variety of content on Twitch, but extreme violence or bloody representations can be disturbing or shocking, especially when they depict death, mutilation or blood.“

How did they resolve the situation? While Malte discusses possible penalties next to tattooing, the cameraman quickly reacts to the situation. He films from further away and increasingly shows the faces of Steven and Malte. In the end, however, there is still a close-up of the tattoo that was done.

The cameraman probably saves the situation, as nothing is visible this way. The ARD can continue streaming on Twitch.

In spring 2023, Twitch permanently banned the streamer Real_Bazzi, also known as Bazzi, forever. However, a year and a half later, he surprisingly returned thanks to legal support.

Elden Ring: Mohg has one of the most unfair attacks, but a potion allows you to ignore them relaxedly

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Elden Ring, you must defeat Mohg to gain access to the new DLC. The problem: The cult leader has a deadly attack that will likely take you out in most cases. We will show you how to cleverly ignore his unfair attack.

What kind of attack is that? In the fight against Mohg, the lord will try to destroy you with various blood magic. One of these attacks is the blood ritual, in which Mohg curses you three times and then uses his trident to inflict three fatal bleed effects, which can completely obliterate your health.

If you don’t have a huge health bar, it means a quick end for you. But before you travel to Rennala to increase your vitality, we can show you a trick to survive his unfair attack.

Miraculous potion will save you

How can I counter the attack? Although Mohg’s “Nihil” attack seems unavoidable, there is a tear for the miraculous potion that allows you to ignore the attack, and that is the “Cleric’s Crystal Tear”.

If you consume this tear, a red bubble will form around you. This bubble purifies the curse that Mohg places upon you. So, if the lord performs his attack and stabs his spear into the sky, it won’t be you who takes damage, but your bubble. This continues until your bubble bursts. While Mohg is busy with his ritual, you can freely attack him.

Where can I find the tear? To get the tear, you need to visit the “Second Church of Marika” in the Altus Plateau. It is located in the northeastern direction from the “Great Elevator of Dectus”. Once you find the church, you just need to defeat the intruder Eleonora. After your fight, she will drop some items, including the Cleric’s Crystal Tear.

Swedish strategy geniuses are succeeding with games for history nerds on Steam: Killing games and studios, burning millions

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

Paradox Interactive has burned millions again. It’s like a curse: The Swedes rake in money when they release their games for history nerds like Europa Universalis or Crusader Kings on Steam, but as soon as they want to venture into other genres, it crashes and they burn millions: The latest victim is a studio in California that was supposed to make them a Sims clone. After five years, “Life by You” is dying, and so is the studio.

Who is Paradox Interactive?

Paradox Interactive was founded in 1995, and the company’s roots lie in board games and miniatures for strategy games. Even the first game, “Svea Rike,” showcased the studio’s direction: a mix of strategy and history.

Over 30 years, the studio has built a unique reputation with increasingly sophisticated history simulations among PC gamers. They have four major franchises, all now in their third or fourth incarnation:

  • Crusader Kings depicts the Middle Ages: It starts with the Viking invasion of England and ends many centuries later as the age of knights slowly fades.
  • Then Europa Universalis takes over, covering roughly the time from the discovery of America to the French Revolution.
  • With Victoria, players simulate the beginning of industrialization as the importance of the economy grows.
  • With Hearts of Iron, it’s all about world war.

The four game series have been developed for decades, and in addition, Paradox offers exciting standalone games like Stellaris or Imperator: Rome.

Crusader Kings 3 is the favorite game of MeinMMO author Schuhmann:

Crusader Kings 3: Trailer

Paradox is killing yet another studio

What is the problem? For many years, Paradox has wanted to act as a publisher and enter other areas, but they now leave a trail of destruction behind.

The new horror game is now the Sims rival “Life by You”, which they developed for five years in California at great expense, only to now cancel both the game and the studio “Tectonic”.

This makes the Swedes terribly sorry (via paradox).

Millions are burning

What are the other examples? The story is repeating itself here. Just in October 2023, Paradox produced the massive flop “Lamplighter’s League” and then killed the studio. 28 million euros are said to have disappeared here.

With Star Trek Infinite, a poor Stellaris clone, they also botched it. In April 2024, the lights went out here.

Also City Skylines II, which Paradox publishes, is turning into a nightmare for the Swedes on Steam.

Paradox seems to have no lucky hand with projects from other studios in recent years. The Swedes are taking high risks here, sometimes it pays off. This way, we have unique strategy games that otherwise no one might have dared to tackle: I am obsessed with a new game on Steam: I have already invested 40 hours in 4 days

German Pokémon GO legend shakes up US Championship because he plays very differently than the Americans

Linda Baumgartl Linda Baumgartl Reading time 3 minutes

Recently, the North American Pokémon International Championships 2024, abbreviated as NAIC, took place. We spoke with one of the few German players on site, who likes to cause confusion with his “European play style.”

What kind of event was it? The NAIC was the third and final International Championship of the 2024 season. Over three days, numerous Pokémon players competed against each other.

  • Competition was held in the categories Pokémon Video Game (Scarlet and Violet), Pokémon TCG (Trading Card Game), Pokémon UNITE, and Pokémon GO.
  • A total of over 4300 players participated.
  • Out of them, 11 were from Germany.

The best players are not only awarded attractive cash prizes. They also receive so-called Championship Points, with which they can qualify for the upcoming World Championship.

The Pokémon World Championship will take place this year in Honolulu, Hawaii:

“I like to give people a puzzle to solve.”

Who is it about? Cedric “Zzweilous” Voigt is a German Pokémon GO player.

  • He has already played in several tournaments and, for example, took first place at the “Pokémon Go Special Event” in Barcelona last year.
  • He is also very successful in the GO Battle League. Recently, he reached first place on the global leaderboard.

Since Pokémon GO became part of the international competitions in 2022, Zzweilous has been involved. He shares his first experiences in America:

The first NAIC in 2022 felt almost like a national competition among Americans. That made life a bit harder for me.

Because not all Pokémon trainers play the same way. Although there is a certain uniform meta, play styles vary by region:

It is often said that Europeans are a bit more risk-taking and experimental, while Americans tend to be more conservative. Therefore, one could say that my play style fits the European meta game a bit better.

Because Cedric loves to surprise with unusual game decisions.

Since this is common in Europe, I always ask myself: Which weird Pokémon will I put in my team? I see it as a bit of a challenge to not play exactly what everyone else is playing.

Does that work? While Cedric’s play style is significantly riskier than that of many of his competitors, he has often been able to prove that he can be very successful with it.

“I would almost argue that it can actually be an advantage,” he explains. Many are not familiar with Pokémon that are not commonly played in the GO Battle League. The opponent often does not know what to do against them. And that is exactly what he finds appealing. “I like to give people a puzzle to solve.”

At the NAIC, Cedric finished in 16th place. He was not only the only German but even the only European to make it into the top 16 in Pokémon GO.

Internationality is not a given

As a Pokémon GO player, being able to experience these international differences is something very special.

  • Even though Pokémon GO was released in 2016, it only became part of the regional and international championships in 2022.
  • Especially in comparison to the formats Video Game (VG) and Trading Card Game (TCG), Pokémon GO is still very young.

“That’s why it is not a given that players will actually travel for the game and that these large communities develop, which then also have international contact,” Cedric explains. “That’s why I think it’s great that there are still a few other Europeans here.” 

Because especially meeting other players, with whom you otherwise only have online contact, is what makes competitions like the NAIC special for Cedric.

While Pokémon GO players can meet many new acquaintances, the situation with new Pokémon in the wild has been different lately. We asked the director of Pokémon GO why that is: Director explains why Pokémon GO brought hardly any new Pokémon in the wild in 2024.

Tarisland is neither a WoW clone nor a mobile game, it is the next big MMORPG

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 3 minutes

While the world is still waiting for the new MMORPG Tarisland, people in China are already playing. Joining is MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier, who already knows what the game is really like.

Who is writing here? Cedric Holmeier is a freelance author at MeinMMO and an expert on Asian MMORPGs. He has played Tarisland multiple times in both open and closed tests. Now he has tried the release version in China and gives his first verdict.

I played Tarisland in China and I liked it

On June 12, 2024, the lights turned on in China for Tarisland. While the rest of the world had to wait until June 21, I was able to start at the same time as the players from China. I was surprised that the German version of the game had improved significantly, although there are still some minor errors.

Tarisland in China did not disappoint me, on the contrary: the new MMORPG impressively shows how a “classic MMORPG” can be implemented today.

Image shows the abilities window from Tarisland of the Phantom Necromancer class.
With the push of a button, you can switch from DPS to healer.

I really like the Holy Trinity of healer, tank, and DPS, as well as the typical classes. Especially the fact that each class and each specialization has its own resource management makes the classes feel different despite having fewer abilities.

The release of Tarisland is occurring gradually, and I’ve already experienced several raids and dungeons that all had nice mechanics and were not too easy.

Here you can see the trailer for Tarisland:

What lies behind the accusations?

While playing, I constantly had the accusations surrounding the game in my mind. Just the word Pay2Win triggers deep aversion in me, so I went on a quest for answers.

The currency for the marketplace can surprisingly easily be earned in-game, and I was even able to earn enough gold effortlessly to buy a monthly pass that acts similarly to a VIP status.

Yes, you can buy gold for real money, although it requires a workaround – BUT: The best items are not available for gold, but only from raids. I haven’t spent a cent and have been able to defeat all bosses so far, even in raids, without any problems.

Image shows some game characters gathering resources in Tarisland.
With professions like the jeweler, you can easily earn money in Tarisland.

How similar is it to World of Warcraft?

Tarisland definitely resembles World of Warcraft. The art style, the classes, even some bosses or quests are inspired by WoW. However, Tarisland also draws inspiration from many well-known brands, especially the “Lord of the Rings” references caught my eye.

However, Tarisland does not play like a clone. It takes its own path with skills and resources, showing that it doesn’t take three skill bars to make a character challenging. Also, the tasks, the systems, and the setting itself have less to do with WoW on closer inspection than it may seem.

The new MMORPG has drawn inspiration from everywhere players are satisfied, and that’s not a bad thing. Nevertheless, hardcore WoW fans will surely find references frequently. Tarisland is something of its own and not a clone, nor a copy of WoW.

Isn’t Tarisland a mobile game?

I could never identify if someone plays Tarisland on mobile. Tarisland was developed for PC and mobile. The PC version is not a simple port, and the game manages to unite both variants effortlessly.

Anyone who really fears playing Tarisland with “dead zone teammates” and “battery dead” randos can simply experience the new MMORPG with friends or guild members at any time.

Path to Glory in FC 24: 3 tips to level up weekly in the Season 7 ladder

Thomas Dummer Thomas Dummer Reading time 3 minutes

In FC 24, you can unlock many strong players for free in the new season pass. You only need enough experience points (XP) to climb up the Season 7 ladder. We will show you 3 tips on how to maximize your XP with just a few matches every week to level up by at least 5 levels.

Why is it worth leveling up the Season 7 Ladder quickly? The Season 7 Ladder consists of 35 levels. At 19 out of 35 levels, strong dynamic Path-to-Glory cards await you in the season pass. They can even receive up to 5 upgrades depending on the performance of their national teams during EURO 2024 or Copa América.

To not miss any upgrades, we recommend our Path to Glory Tracker for EURO 2024

You achieve level ups by completing various tasks, as many tasks reward you with XP. Every time you reach 1000 XP, you advance to a new level.

The faster you climb the Season 7 ladder, the faster you will receive the strong Path-to-Glory players.

3 Tips to Level Up the Season 7 Ladder Quickly

We will show you 3 simple ways to climb the Season 7 Ladder as quickly as possible. Most tasks that award you XP can be found in the goals under the “Seasonal” category.

1. Tip: Daily Tasks and Weekly Goals (1500 XP)

Daily Tasks:

The easiest way to earn XP is by completing the daily tasks. Ideally, you only need to play one game in any mode and do the following:

  • Score 3 goals (25 XP)
  • Win a match (25 XP)

For completing both tasks, you will receive a bonus of 25 XP. This way, you can earn 75 XP every day.

More importantly, by completing the daily tasks, you also fulfill part of the weekly goals, where a single task already rewards you with 200 XP.

Weekly Goals:

If you complete the daily task twice within a week, you will receive 200 XP each time in the weekly goals. Additionally, the weekly goals offer 3 more tasks:

  • Complete 5 any Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) (200 XP)
  • Play 5 matches (200 XP)
  • Play 10 matches (200 XP)

The weekly goals reward you with a total of 1200 XP.

If you diligently complete the daily tasks, you will also tackle the weekly goals at the same time. You have the freedom to choose which SBCs to complete. We recommend the daily Gold Upgrade or the 81+ Player Pick.

If you play just one match every day to complete the daily tasks, you theoretically still need 3 matches to finish all the weekly goals. If you complete these in a new friendly match lobby, you will also secure the next XP.

2. Tip: One-Nation Showdown – England (2100 XP)

With the friendly match mode One-Nation Showdown, you have another opportunity to earn XP for 2 level-ups. You only need to create a team made up of players from one nationality.

The nation you need this week is England. Since you play with maximum chemistry in this mode, you can just field your strongest English players.

You have unlimited attempts to complete the following tasks:

  • Play matches
    • 1 match (300 XP)
    • 3 matches (300 XP)
    • 6 matches (300 XP)
  • Score 10 goals (300 XP)
  • Win matches
    • 3 wins (300 XP)
    • 6 wins (300 XP)

If you complete all tasks, you receive an additional bonus of 300 XP, bringing you a total of 2100 XP. Furthermore, you will receive a player with a minimum rating of 83 for each task completed.

3. Tip: Mixed Nations – USA/Uruguay (1400 XP)

Finally, you can secure another 1400 XP with 3 additional matches. You only need to build a team with certain requirements.

This week, the focus is on Argentina and Canada. Create a team consisting of:

  • at least 5 Americans
  • at least 2 Uruguayans

Complete the following tasks with this team in any mode:

  • Play 3 matches (350 XP)
  • Win 1 match (350 XP)
  • Score 5 goals with an American (350 XP)

In total, you will receive 1400 XP and additional player packs with players rated at least 81 or 83.

The tasks will likely be updated every Friday. We will update this article each week with the latest requirements. So it’s worth checking back regularly here on MeinMMO.

Fans of the Amazon series The Boys are complaining that a character has been recast – When the actor has only lost weight

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

The Boys Season 4 has finally started and has already gifted fans with three episodes. But instead of discussing the events in the series, many are focused on an actor who has supposedly been recast. Spoiler: He has just lost weight.

Attention Spoiler: The following article contains mild spoilers for the first three episodes of The Boys Season 4.

Which actor is it about? Laz Alonso plays Mother’s Milk in the series, abbreviated as MM. MM is a member of the Boys and takes over the reins of the group in Season 4 after Butcher’s methods caused problems. Previously, he was somewhat of a counterbalance to Butcher, providing calm amidst the chaos.

In Season 4, the actor looks a bit different, which is why many people thought MM had been recast.

You can watch the trailer for Season 1 of The Boys here:

In the post, he clarifies once again that MM is still played by Laz Alonso. As seen in the picture, he has only lost weight and shaved his beard. The comments react both to his appearance and to people who genuinely believe it to be a different actor.

@BarcodeOC simply states: He lost about 20 pounds (about 9 kg), shaved, and looked like a new casting lol.

@OfficalBAMTube cannot believe that people really think it is a different actor. He just lost weight, and after all, the last season was already two years ago.

Even @mediumraregame mocks the whole situation, writing: I am starting to believe more and more that some people wouldn’t recognize Superman with glasses.

In the first three episodes, we see multiple times how MM reads books to combat his compulsions. His stress level has increased immensely as he now leads The Boys and has to report everything to the CIA. In the first episode, Kimiko tells MM that he should finally eat more.

This suggests that stress has also affected his eating behavior, causing him to look different in the series. Previously, small hints of similar stress behavior had been displayed.

Ashley was pulling her hair out, A-Train had heart problems, and even Frenchie’s mental state is reflected in his behavior. The marketing for the new season is once again on point.

CEO will show new feature of Twitch, but only finds scantily clad women in the feed – This is how he explains it

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The head of Twitch, Dan Clancy (60), wanted to showcase a new feature of the streaming platform during a livestream, but all he saw on his phone were streams of half-naked women. This caused amusement but also criticism. Now he provides an explanation.

This was the scene: The CEO of Twitch wanted to demonstrate a new feature that closely resembles TikTok. He did this in a stream with NateGentile7:

  • With the new feature, viewers can scroll vertically through various offerings on Twitch.
  • The Twitch CEO demonstrated the new possibilities by swiping through the offerings on his phone.
  • The problem: Only women were visible, who apparently use Twitch to promote their sexually suggestive and paid offerings on OnlyFans. No matter how much Clancy swiped: One woman in a swimsuit or in a suggestive pose replaced the other.

She is considered a prime example of the “Hot Tub” trend on Twitch:

“He is a very eager man!”

This was discussed. The clip featuring the CEO, who seemingly swipes desperately to find “non-sexual” content on his platform, received a lot of attention and was discussed mockingly.

The clip itself reached 316,000 views, and a discussion about it on reddit garnered almost 6,000 upvotes.

Because the clip with Clancy is seen as a supposed proof that the “Amouranth” model has prevailed on Twitch: Women use Twitch as a promotion platform to advertise their OnlyFans pages in “Hot Tub” or “Pool” streams. They appear in a sexually suggestive manner on Twitch. In these categories, Twitch’s clothing regulations apply only to a limited extent and it is allowed to show skin.

The Kickers or Captain Tsubasa? You chose the better football anime

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

MeinMMO asked you the question of which football anime is better – the great football stars with Captain Tsubasa or The Kickers. One of the two animes clearly prevailed over the other.

The great football stars and The Kickers were two animes that were broadcast in Germany in the 1990s. Both series are about the ball sport, but MeinMMO wanted to know from you which of the two series you prefer.

These are the results: 1,869 people participated in the survey. Only one vote could be cast to determine the more popular football anime. And indeed, one of the two series prevailed against the other.

The two football animes achieved the following results:

  • Rank 1: The great football stars (69%, 1,289 votes)
  • Rank 2: The Kickers (31%, 580 votes)

In addition to The great football stars and The Kickers, there are also modern football animes that even have video games:

  • Borkfinger still remembers the topspin and the tiger shot from The great football stars well. Therefore, his vote went to Captain Tsubasa.
  • MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski celebrates the devil’s trio from The Kickers. We can guess which anime she gave her vote to.
  • Frost voted for The Kickers because he remembered the legendary throw-in by Sascha. However, Captain Tsubasa was just as good for him.

Furthermore, MeinMMO demon Cortyn had to explain to our editorial manager Gerd Schuhmann that the devil’s trio from The Kickers is a very normal standard trick by anime standards.

What are The great football stars? At the center of the anime is Captain Tsubasa. His real name is Tsubara Ohzora, and he wants to become a Japanese world champion in football. In the anime, we follow his journey from a hobby player at the local FC Nankatsu to a professional player at the World Cup.

The anime was already broadcast in Japan in 1983, but in Germany, the series was only seen in 1995 on RTL 2. The production of the anime was handled by Toei Animation.

The anime aired in Japan in 1986, but it was only seen in Germany in 1992. This means that The Kickers aired three years later than The great football stars in Japan, but three years earlier in Germany.

The story of The Kickers has been completed for several decades. With Captain Tsubasa, the situation is more complicated, as the story no longer continues in manga form: After over 40 years, the popular manga “Captain Tsubasa” ends, but the story goes on

Baldur’s Gate 3: „Love Duel“ ends explosively as Lae’zel loses patience

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In Baldur’s Gate 3, love can sometimes be a problem. Especially Lae’zel tends to ruin everything – because she knows no inhibitions.

Whoever wants Lae’zel to become the love of their life in Baldur’s Gate 3 must win a duel against her. But that can backfire significantly. Because if you give Lae’zel the wrong weapons, you can abruptly end the hero’s journey. This is reported by DDDritte in the Subreddit of Baldur’s Gate 3 and reveals how his relationship with Lae’zel ended explosively and very spontaneously.

What happened to Lae’zel? As a Gith’yanki warrior, Lae’zel has a somewhat different concept of partnership and love than the other races in the world of Baldur’s Gate 3. If you want to charm her and then enter a relationship with her, she wants to fight. Because only if you can beat her in combat are you a suitable partner.

However, DDDritte made a critical mistake that would have serious consequences.

What was that mistake? The problem was that the player had some things in Lae’zel’s inventory that perhaps shouldn’t be there. Especially the rune powder vial, which can be obtained in Act 1, is extremely dangerous. The vial is considered the most dangerous explosive in the game and can wipe out the entire party in one turn. Many players save the vial for particularly tough boss fights.

But Lae’zel thought during the fight for love, “if we’re going to do this, let’s do it right” and proceeded to be particularly brutal in the duel.

You probably suspect it already: Lae’zel hurled the rune powder bomb at her future lover, treated herself to a potion of haste, and then used a scroll to unleash an ice storm.

The end of the story: Everything in the camp explodes, Lae’zel “wins” the fight and is, of course, very disappointed that her chosen one apparently does not possess the necessary combat power to handle her.

What could basically be an amusing situation, however, became a huge annoyance for DDDritte. Lae’zel not only left the group afterwards – the player also forgot to save recently, so several hours of progress with numerous battles were lost.

That Baldur’s Gate 3 can also be frustrating due to the many variables has been experienced by many players before. In fact, there are millions of buyers of Baldur’s Gate 3 who have never made it past the tutorial.

Twitch: 21-year-old recounts how MontanaBlack supposedly stole his 17-year-old girlfriend

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris (36) is one of the biggest streamers on German Twitch. Currently, there is a lot of speculation about his private life on social media. The statements of a 21-year-old are now fueling the discussion.

What is it about? Observers of the German Twitch scene have been suspecting a secret relationship between MontanaBlack and the 19-year-old Twitch streamer Alena aka “snipsska” for some time now. However, there is no official confirmation yet.

Critics see a power imbalance between the millionaire Twitch star MontanaBlack and the young woman. They view the alleged relationship as problematic due to the significant age difference.

The criticism is reinforced by the fact that “snipsska” was reportedly only 17 years old when the contact between her and MontanaBlack started. The discussion is now being fueled by a podcast in which a 21-year-old reports how the streamer allegedly made advances towards his then-girlfriend.

Ex describes private messages between MontanaBlack and his girlfriend

Who is the ex? This is the former Fortnite player and Twitch streamer Berkay “Berki” Sarioba. He was apparently in a relationship with “snipsska” in 2022 (via X). In a podcast, he now reports on private messages between MontanaBlack and his then-girlfriend.

In an excerpt, Berki explains how it all supposedly started. He asked MontanaBlack to take a photo with his girlfriend. When she posted the picture the next day, MontanaBlack is said to have contacted her and started a conversation with her.

The 21-year-old says his girlfriend showed him the screenshots of the conversation, thrilled. At some point, however, he noticed that she hadn’t shown him the entire conversation. In the messages that she showed him upon his request, MontanaBlack allegedly told the young woman that she smelled very good and asked her about her perfume.

You can see the corresponding excerpt here; a full version of the podcast is to be released on Spotify.

This version matches a screenshot that Berki posted in November 2023. The image shows a message from April 2022, which he apparently sent to MontanaBlack. In it, he criticizes the alleged messages from the Twitch streamer with “snipsska” and wrote: “I don’t know if you forgot that she is my girlfriend and knows that she is 17.” (via X)

Viewers demand a statement from MontanaBlack

How is this being discussed? The clip spread from TikTok to X and Reddit, where it has already been viewed by over 700,000 people. In the comments, some call MontanaBlack’s behavior “disgusting.” Others, however, urge caution with Berki’s version: After all, many an ex has nothing good to say about their former partners.

Moreover, in many comments, users tag the respective account of MontanaBlack. With this, they apparently want to urge the Twitch streamer to comment on the situation. However, others mockingly suggest that he will at best let his lawyer speak for him. For “snipsska,” the joint streams with MontanaBlack back then meant a huge boost.

A Netflix series that wanted to compete with Game of Thrones will end after just three seasons

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

After the great success of Game of Thrones, some tried to compete with their own productions of the series. A medieval series from Netflix is now facing a swift end after season 3, even though the screenwriter still had many ideas.

What kind of series is this? Although Game of Thrones will likely always stand on its own, the end of the series has left a gap that Netflix seems to want to fill. With their spin-off series from Vikings: “Vikings: Valhalla,” it actually brought all the “Game of Thrones” ingredients.

The series lacks neither religious fanaticism, sex, nor violence and battles, yet after season 3, the series will come to an end.

Here you can watch the trailer for season 3 of Vikings: Valhalla:

A harsh blow for Vikings fans

When is it over? After season 3, the spin-off series of Vikings will come to an end. The third season of the series will be released on July 11 on Netflix, with all 8 episodes expected to be available.

Season 3 is meant to give a conclusive ending to the story and takes place 7 years after season 2. The new season leads the characters to Constantinople, where political intrigues and religious influences collide.

Why is it ending so soon? When Netflix ordered 26 episodes of the series from screenwriter Jeb Stuart, it was a positive sign for the fans of Vikings. Seasons 1 and 2 reportedly amassed a total of 320 million hours of viewing time, which is not bad (via millenium.org).

Even before the release of season 3, Netflix announced in the fall of 2023 the cancellation of the series (via fernsehserien.de). The exact reason for the cancellation of the series is not known, but it seems that the series fell short of Netflix’s expectations.

Also, the fact that three seasons were booked instead of just one season as is now common may have been a bit too much for Netflix.

The series’ screenwriter, Jeb Stuart, stated in interviews that he had ideas for seasons 4–6 in case Netflix decided to go for more seasons of the series. Not only series want to build on the success of Game of Thrones, but also games, and one could even become the official MMORPG of Game of Thrones: A major gaming company is developing a new MMORPG for Game of Thrones
