German streamer ranks at the top of Twitch for Elden Ring – Meanwhile, he has been playing only one game for years

Schuhmann 27. June 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The German streamer ohnePixel is actually specialized in Counter-Strike 2, but currently he is the largest European streamer for Elden Ring on Twitch. Apparently, his accent has a certain charm.

These are the biggest streamers for Elden Ring:

The clear biggest streamer for Elden Ring is Kai Cenat – he has been putting on a huge show for weeks as he struggles through the main game and then the DLC.
In 2nd and 3rd place are familiar names: Asmongold on his second account zackrawr and shooter specialist shroud.
However, at the same level as shroud and Asmongold is ohnePixel, who has spent 74 hours on Elden Ring in the last 7 days and achieved over 1 million hours of watch time, which is not much more than what shroud and Asmongold have.

Start video

Autoplay

German takes a vacation from Counter-Strike 2 and is in overtime mode

This is exciting: ohnePixel is actually booked on Counter-Strike – that is his clear main game. As the statistics show, he has played almost only Counter-Strike throughout the years. He has hardly looked into other games:

In 2023, he spent 1900 hours in Counter-Strike – then Fortnite came in 2nd place with 30 hours.
In 2022, he spent 2068 hours in CS:GO – with “Dark and Darker” in 2nd place, which he only showed for 3 hours on Twitch.

However, on June 13, ohnePixel turned away from Counter-Strike 2 and has since only played Elden Ring: he has already spent 106 hours in the game.

In fact, when he plays Elden Ring, he has only about half as many viewers as he does with CS:GO. Statistically, it is going well for him because he is putting in overtime. Normally, his streams end after about 8 hours. However, with Elden Ring, he extends his hours and is often live for even 12 hours.

In the last 30 days, ohnePixel was on air twice as long (194 hours) as in the previous 30 days.

What makes him appealing? ohnePixel streams with a lot of ambition and a noticeable German accent. He is emotional – as evidenced by 522 deaths – and goes into Elden Ring “blind”.

The “Elden Ring” phase might soon come to an end for him: in the last stream, he briefly checked back into Counter-Strike 2 again.

Elden Ring has a strong appeal for many players and viewers due to its high difficulty. But even FromSoftware seems to be slowly giving in: Elden Ring: Many players find the DLC too difficult, which is why the publisher is now offering a tip

Honor of Kings is huge in China and is also set to become big in Germany – Developers explain their plans to us

Cedric Holmeier 27. June 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

In China, Honor of Kings is one of the biggest games, and now the MOBA aims to convince the western market as well. In an interview, the developers explain what they plan to do.

What is Honor of Kings? Honor of Kings is the most played MOBA on mobile devices worldwide. In 2020, over 100 million people played the game daily on average. In the MOBA genre, Dota 2 and League of Legends are particularly well known in our region.

Initially, Honor of Kings was only available in Asia, but now more and more countries are joining. Recently, the game has also become available in Germany. This is reason enough for MeinMMO to ask the developers about their plans for the game.

You can watch the trailer for Honor of Kings here:

Autoplay

How Honor of Kings Aims for Success

MeinMMO: How will you ensure that Honor of Kings can replicate its success in the West as it did in China?

TiMi Studio: There is no guarantee that we can replicate the same success. Therefore, we can only strive to create the best possible chance through our player-focused approach. There is no guarantee that we can replicate the same success. Therefore, we can only strive to create the best possible chance through our player-focused approach.

What does that look like?
Since the game’s release, we have analyzed millions of hours of gameplay and made several updates and adjustments to continuously improve the player experience.

After launching in Brazil last year and in the Middle East and Turkey earlier this year, we were able to gather feedback from a new community of players and make further improvements to the game.

A great example of this is the amount of free space required to install the game. We have worked hard to keep this as low as possible while maintaining high visual quality. This ensures that players with older mobile devices can enjoy the game just like those with the latest high-end smartphones.

In addition, Honor of Kings is free to play and provides fair competition, meaning that players’ success does not depend on their financial capabilities but on their actions on the battlefield.

To further facilitate fair play, we have our own robust matchmaking system that ensures balanced matches against players with similar ranks. With the global launch, we will continue to listen to our new players and strive to make Honor of Kings even better.

von Paul Kutzner

MeinMMO: What differences do you generally expect between the West and China? Are there specifics to consider in the West?

TiMi Studio: We have observed that players from the East and West have different attitudes towards playing competitive games on mobile phones, which may be due to the differing developmental histories of PC and console games in the various markets.

However, we are pleased that more and more western players are considering playing a competitive mobile game, which represents an opportunity for Honor of Kings.

We highly value the western market and aim to provide rich and diverse content for western players in the future while maintaining the core experience of the game. This way, we hope to excite them about Honor of Kings.

MeinMMO: With League of Legends: Wild Rift, there is already a good alternative for a MOBA on mobile. How will Honor of Kings differ?

TiMi Studio: For us, competition is a good thing. We are the most played mobile MOBA in the world, but if we want to maintain this position, we cannot let up.

We must continue to listen to our community, create new content, and leverage the latest features of mobile devices. That is the challenge, and we will meet it.

MeinMMO: Are you planning to build an e-sports scene in the West?

TiMi Studio: Absolutely, competitive play is an integral part of the appeal of Honor of Kings, and therefore we are committed to building a global e-sports ecosystem that promotes talent from the grassroots level to professional e-sports players.

This year, we are investing 15 million USD in our e-sports program, which includes the Honor of Kings Invitational Series for established e-sports organizations and the Open Series for newcomers.

We are dedicated to promoting the long-term development of clubs and will collaborate with local e-sports organizations to provide high-profile international gaming events for players and audiences.

Starting June 29, 13 teams from around the world will compete in the Honor of Kings Invitational Season 2 for a share of the prize pool of 300,000 USD and eight guaranteed spots for the Honor of Kings Invitational Midseason | Esports World Cup.

MeinMMO: Are there already plans for other well-known licenses that can be associated with Honor of Kings? If so, can you already name any specifically?

TiMi Studio: We have conducted some collaborations in the past and are actively exploring possible integrations. New collaborations are planned with brands such as Saint Seiya, SNK, Hello Kitty, and Bruce Lee, and we will share more about this as soon as possible.

TiMi Studio: It is always our goal to promote a safe and welcoming community where like-minded players can meet and play together. We hope that these conditions will motivate players with different backgrounds to experience Honor of Kings.

MeinMMO: Do you have recommendations for which champs to check out for beginners? Which ones are particularly beginner-friendly?

TiMi Studio: We have designed tutorials specifically for newcomers and recommend heroes like Angela and Hou Yi for those just starting out.

We also encourage players to interact with us through the social features in the game or our accounts on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Discord. Our goal is to help players quickly experience all the excitement of Honor of Kings.

Follow the recommended lanes for your heroes to ensure balanced teamwork with teammates
Pay attention to the minimap to observe the positions of allies and enemies
Use voice chat or communicate via quick messages for smooth collaboration
Remember: Honor of Kings is a team game, so always trust your teammates

A movie on Disney+ unjustly did not receive an Oscar, it emotionally broke me

Niko Hernes 27. June 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

Besides Star Wars, Marvel, and other franchises, Disney+ also has some gems that are greatly beloved by critics. One particular movie deals with the emotional past of the protagonist without clumsily tugging at the heartstrings. MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes can highly recommend All of Us Strangers.

What is All of Us Strangers? In All of Us Strangers, Adam is at a difficult point in his life. He is unhappy, unable to connect with others, and lives in an apartment in a seemingly abandoned house.

Suddenly, he meets Harry and then he goes to his childhood home. In the house, he finds his parents, but they are suddenly young, visibly younger than himself. Adam now seizes the opportunity to finally talk to his parents about his emotions and the past, which allows him to open up to Harry.

You can find the English trailer for the film here:

Start video

All of Us Strangers – Trailer for the emotional drama on Disney+

Autoplay

The script is exactly on point

The story of All of Us Strangers is simple, but incredibly effective. Essentially, we follow Adam, played by Andrew Scott, as he wants to tell his parents everything about himself. The focus is mainly on his homosexuality. As a teenager, he had no chance to come out to his parents.

When he tells his mother, she initially reacts very awkwardly. But later, when he talks to his father about it, really emotional yet surprisingly positive scenes unfold. I was surprised by how elegantly the film approaches the topic. Nothing is pushed into the emotional realm just with music. The focus is on the dialogues and the characters.

This is also one reason why the film moved me so much, even though I have not experienced such things myself. All of Us Strangers is always nuanced and to the point. The film never exaggerates anything or forcefully shoves the characters’ feelings in our faces. You empathize because you see how the characters feel, not because you’re told how you should feel.

The parents are also not just a single note; they show multiple facets. They try to understand something that is foreign to them from their time and environment. The love for their child is, however, always presented and made understandable.

You can find another family-focused movie here: The most beautiful film of the year is a father-son story in a world full of animal people

Scott and Mescal are fantastic

The performers are also a highlight. Harry, played by Paul Mescal, is the other part of the story in All of Us Strangers. He symbolizes how Adam can gradually open up after talking to his parents. The chemistry between the two is always palpable.

The great thing about both performances is that you can always sense a certain wistfulness, a sadness, that is only conveyed through their expressions, through their eyes. They might joke around, but you can still tell that both are not necessarily doing well. This is a truly remarkable achievement, as they communicate less through dialogue and more through body language with the audience.

This never evokes pity, but rather empathy. When the two look wistfully into the camera and share their emotional backgrounds, it simply touched me. But also Adam’s parents, played by Claire Foy and Jamie Bell, embody the fundamental theme of love outwardly.

All the performers in All of Us Strangers show that love has not only positive effects but consists of several complex facets that cannot always be named.

How is the film technically? The camera and sound provide the perfect setting for the film. Music is never used as manipulation but only as the ambiance of the scene. The cinematography regularly impressed me, as despite the few sets, the film manages to create truly beautiful images through lighting and perspectives that I will not forget anytime soon.

All of Us Strangers is a film I can recommend to everyone, even if they have nothing to do with the topic of coming out. It’s not just about that. It’s about suppressed emotions and loneliness and how love, in all its facets, influences us, even when we don’t want to acknowledge it sometimes. For those who can bear even more emotions afterward, they might want to check out this film: A new Oscar contender moved me to tears while also making me laugh out loud

DLC for Elden Ring apparently has such bad reviews on Steam because Chinese people are not allowed to cheat

Schuhmann 27. June 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The DLC “Shadow of The Erdtree” for Elden Ring is being enthusiastically discussed by many. Twitch streamer Asmongold gives it a 10 out of 10. German-speaking users on Steam write 89% positive reviews. But in the overall rating on Steam, the DLC only has mixed reviews. What is the reason for that?

This is an open question: The DLC for Elden Ring is difficult but is generally praised for its presentation, design quality, and environment:

But why is the DLC so weak on Steam, with only a “Mixed” rating – at 59% positive reviews?
And what does that have to do with a “blue bear”?

So far, it has been thought: The game is simply too hard, and the bosses are unfair. But the explanation could be something else.

He is currently number 4 for Elden Ring, ahead of Kai Cenat, the German withoutPixel, and master shroud:

Twitch streamer Asmongold says: “Stop watching streams at 3 AM if you don’t have money!”

Asmongold gives the DLC a 10 out of 10

This is how Asmongold sees the DLC: Twitch streamer Asmongold has now completed the DLC, albeit with an OP build, and praises it highly. He says it is the best DLC ever, only “Iceborne” from Monster Hunter World comes close.

Asmongold usually takes any criticism of games into account. But if he even praises the game: Why does the DLC have such mediocre reviews on Steam?

Germans love the DLC for Elden Ring – 89% positive

So why does the DLC have poor ratings? A statistic from Steam shows that an overwhelming majority of English-speaking players rate the DLC positively (86%).

German-speaking users even give the DLC a positive rating in 89% of cases.

But 32% of the total reviews come from Chinese-speaking users, and they view the game much more negatively. In translated comments from Chinese users, a “Blue Bear” is frequently mentioned and cursed at.

Chinese players are bothered by the anti-cheat system

What does the bear have to do with it? The “Blue Bear” is the symbol of the anti-cheat system that FromSoftware uses in Elden Ring.

We in the West would understand criticism of the system as meaning that an anti-cheat system might negatively impact performance.

Recommended editorial content

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

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

Link to the YouTube content

However, for the Chinese, the criticism is likely really about the fact that cheating is not allowed in Elden Ring.

Because in China, the attitude towards cheating is more like “The honest person is the fool.” In China, among gamers, cheating is not as frowned upon as it is here and has a different significance.

So it could indeed be that the “Mixed Reviews” on Elden Ring are due to the fact that players can’t simply cheat their way through the DLC. Meanwhile, current mods are lowering the difficulty level and new patches are also going in that direction: FromSoftware has just made the DLC for Elden Ring easier because you won’t stop complaining on Steam

The great strategy game of Warhammer on Steam now fully focuses on its mode with 280 factions

Benedict Grothaus 27. June 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The developers of Total War: Warhammer 3 have presented the content of their next DLC. They directly state: The focus of development is now on Immortal Empires, the huge skirmish campaign of the strategy game. This pleases the fans, as they finally feel heard after a dispute with the studio.

What kind of game is this?

Total War: Warhammer 3 is a strategy game in the Total War series and offers a mix of turn-based grand strategy with massive real-time battles. It is considered one of the best strategy games on PC.
On Steam, Total War: Warhammer 3 had almost 50,000 simultaneous players in June (via steamcharts). This makes it both the largest Total War and the largest Warhammer game on Steam.
What makes the game so special, is the massive “Immortal Empires” campaign. Instead of pursuing specific goals, you play a conquest campaign that unites all three Warhammer parts of Total War into a gigantic map with over 280 factions.

This is what’s in store for Total War: Warhammer 3: In a Developer Update, the developers explained that the focus will now be on Immortal Empires (via YouTube). This addresses criticism from the community. Senior Game Director Rich Aldridge stated:

You have shown us where the importance of the game lies […] and that is Immortal Empires. So our next DLC fully focuses on Immortal Empires.

So far, each expansion also included content for the “Realms of Chaos” campaign, the actual “main game.” However, this has been criticized since its release and is not particularly popular with most players, especially due to its tedious quest mechanics.

The old campaign is not to be completely neglected, it is said. However, Immortal Empires should receive more love at the moment. Specifically, three new faction leaders have been revealed:

Gorbad Ironclaw for the Greenskins, focusing on cavalry and a new beast unit.
Skulltaker for Khorne, who sews the skulls of his enemies onto his cape and brings Blood Beasts as a new unit.
Golgfag Maneater for the Ogre Kingdoms, who primarily wants to destroy and reinforces his armies with Giant Mammoths and Blood Vultures.

You can purchase the Lords individually or in a bundle. Additionally, there is a free character that also belongs to the Khorne faction. However, there is no specific information about this yet. The DLC is scheduled to be released at the end of the year, with more information to come in late summer 2024.

After the next DLC, Slaanesh will receive new Lords. Plans are already in place for the Vampire Lords, Norsca, and the Lizardmen. However, there is no more detailed information about this yet.

The currently latest DLC is Thrones of Decay:

“We are so back”

The update creates a lively atmosphere in the community. On Reddit, there are hundreds of comments expressing great joy over the developers’ statements. Especially the possibility of purchasing the Lords individually, so as not to pay for something you don’t actually want, is receiving a lot of praise.

The players feel heard:

“Leaving Realms of Chaos behind, open and clear communication, new format for the dev chats, the style of Thrones of Decay continues …

Guys, are we back? Is it not over yet?

EDIT: Slaanesh DLC confirmed. We are so back.”

With Thrones of Decay, things have significantly improved. The reviews have risen to 92%, and the developers have ensured that fans are happy again with numerous free updates and improvements.

Steam is getting a new, official controller, but it’s missing an important feature from the Steam Deck

Benedikt Schlotmann 27. June 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

A new officially licensed controller is coming for Steam. However, it is not made by Valve, but by Hori. The controller will be released on the market at the end of October 2024.

About 5 years ago, Steam discontinued its official experimental controller and the device disappeared from the product range.

Now, manufacturer Hori has introduced a new official controller for Steam. It offers several Steam features, but you will have to forgo a few functions from the Steam Deck.

Wireless Horipad for Steam is an official controller, costs around 50 Euros

What kind of controller is this? The Wireless Horipad for Steam is a controller specifically designed for PC, matching the menu buttons of the Steam Deck and featuring similar touch sensors on the sticks to enable gyro controls.

It also supports wireless Bluetooth and wired USB-C connections, as well as a range of custom programming options with Hori’s software.

What is missing from the controller? You will still have to make a few compromises, as the controller does not offer a vibration function (Rumble), and there are no additional buttons on the back like on the Steam Deck.

The large trackpads, which allow you to control the mouse pointer on the Steam Deck, are also missing from the controller. These are especially useful in games that do not offer official controller support.

How much will the controller cost? The controller is set to be released in Japan on October 31, 2024, and will cost 7,890 Yen. This is roughly equivalent to 50 Euros. This aligns with other controllers in the same price range, but without offering Steam-specific features.

It is still unknown whether the new official Steam controller will also be available in Germany. However, manufacturer Hori does sell various console accessories in Germany as well. So, the idea is not entirely far-fetched.

A big game completely deletes DrDisrespect – character and story are going out tomorrow

Schuhmann 27. June 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The YouTube streamer DrDisrespect currently has his own character and storyline in the basketball game NBA 2K24. However, following the latest developments regarding his ban on Twitch, that will soon come to an end: On June 28, both will be removed from the game.

Here’s what 2k says: The developers of NBA 2K have confirmed to the U.S. site Dexerto :

The name DrDisrespect and all his animations will be completely removed from the game.
Currently, he is in “MyCareer” mode, with his own jump shots and dunks.
Additionally, 2k will no longer work with DrDisrespect.

DrDisrespect was a celebrity on Twitch – His ban remains a big mystery to this day

Streamer loses all deals he has built up

Have other companies distanced themselves from him? Yes, his football career is also over. The San Francisco 49ers no longer want anything to do with him. Just a few months ago, he was able to make a draft pick for them.

His connection with “Mountain Dew,” where he had his own drink, has also been cut off.

With the manufacturer of gaming headsets, Turtle Beach, it’s over as well; he had a partnership with them since 2020.

What was that collaboration with NBA2k4 like? DrDisrespect is 2.03 m tall and played basketball during his college years in the NCAA. Therefore, a collaboration with the basketball franchise made sense.

He entered the game series at the end of 2022 in NBA 2K23. Back then, you had to meet DrDisrespect in a quest centered around “Mountain Dew” and defeat him in a game of H.O.R.S.E.

Why is he being removed from the game now? In recent days, it was revealed why DrDisrespect was banned from Twitch in 2020 – something that no one outside a small circle at Twitch knew for a long time.

It is alleged that DrDisrespect sent sexually explicit messages to a minor in 2017.

DrDisrespect pointed out that an arbitration with Twitch concluded that he did nothing wrong, but the noose tightened in recent days, when his own gaming studio cut ties with him after an investigation.

DrDisrespect eventually partially admitted to the allegations but denied the implication that he is a pedophile.

Update June 28, 10:46 AM: By now, YouTube has also become active and published a statement on how they will handle DrDisrespect in the future: YouTube cuts off DrDisrespect’s revenue – due to 7-year-old messages on Twitch.

BioWare developer reveals the cynical reason why big games are announced so early

Cortyn 27. June 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

Some games are waited for many, many years after their announcement. But there are reasons for this – and some stem from fear.

The development of video games sometimes progresses at a snail’s pace – that’s at least the impression fans can get. Often, there are many years between the official announcement of a game and its release. But there are good reasons why games are announced so early. This is revealed by BioWare veteran Mark Darrah, who explains the cynical reasons behind it.

One reason: Fear that the publisher will cancel the game otherwise.

The trailer for the latest Dragon Age installment:

Start video

Dragon Age: The Veilguard introduces your companions in the trailer

Autoplay

Where does the information come from? Mark Darrah is a long-time veteran of BioWare who led the “Dragon Age” franchise for a long time and was also involved in the original Baldur’s Gate. On his YouTube channel, he now frequently talks about game development and reveals the peculiarities involved.

What did Darrah say? At the beginning, Darrah addresses the question of why the development of large AAA games actually takes so long. From his perspective, this is not the case, but the external perception is just that. The actual development of a game usually begins much later than players realize. When a game is announced, it can very well be that maybe only 10 people are working on a game that will later require hundreds of developers.

There may be the small seed of a team, but honestly: There will hardly be any work done for a long time.

Darrah also reveals that studios can appear a little misleading and cites a prominent example: The Elder Scrolls VI. The Skyrim sequel was already announced with a trailer in 2018, but to this day – 6 years later – there is still little new information about the game.

They give the impression that work is being done on it in parallel, that the team is actively working on the game, when in fact only a few people are holding meetings and not much is being accomplished.

Even though Darrah does not mention a concrete example here, Mass Effect 5 immediately comes to mind. The first teaser was released in 2020, and it is also known that a large part of the team has mainly worked on Dragon Age: The Veilguard in the following years.

Link to the YouTube content

But Darrah does not see this as cheating or deception, and he also gives reasons why a game should be announced long before its release:

There can be reasons why it is important for a developer studio or for a publisher to have the game known in the public perception already. It could be that the publisher’s catalog seems a bit weak, and they want to remind the public that they still have a few good titles up their sleeve.

But a reason could also simply be the developers’ fear for their jobs or the project.

It may also be that the developer studio wants the game to be announced because they are worried that the publisher would cancel it otherwise. Announcing a project early is not the best strategy, but sometimes it just has to be.

This also seems logical. Once a game is already in the minds of fans who are eagerly anticipating its release, it is likely to be harder for the publisher to back out of a project. If a game is still unknown, then it is easier to make that step.

Monopoly GO: All Free Dice in April 2026 – Today’s New Codes

Controversial YouTuber pays 470,000 euros for two mangas, but fans complain: “The guy has not seen a single episode of One Piece”

For fans, this may sometimes seem very strange. When a game is announced, usually with a fancy trailer, it can certainly mean that hardly any work has been done on the actual game so far. A particularly prominent example even comes from BioWare itself – namely Anthem. When they showed the trailer back then, the team itself didn’t even know what the finished game would eventually look like. The very tight development schedule and many problems during production led to the game completely flopping and not meeting fans’ expectations.

Do you think it’s good when games are announced many years in advance? Or would you prefer to learn about a new game only shortly before its release?

The following actors are part of Season 2:

Clive Russel as Krokus
Werner Coetser as Woogey

This confirms that the One Piece team will include the Reverse Mountain Arc and the Little Garden Arc in Season 2. The characters only appear in these arcs in the Alabasta Saga.

One of the actors is generating a lot of hype among fans. They are particularly looking forward to a scene that is considered one of the funniest moments in the early parts of One Piece.

Who are the fans most excited about? The users under the X thread and in the reddit forum are particularly excited about Clive Russel. He was already seen as Brynden Tully in Game of Thrones. The character is also known as the Blackfish and is a knight belonging to House Tully.

User AllAlongTheWatchtwer believes that he would make the perfect Krokus. When Krokus first meets the Straw Hat crew, he has a particularly nasty look. Fans think that Russel can perfectly imitate this look.

Furthermore, they are particularly looking forward to a joke that Krokus makes during his first encounter with the Straw Hats.

What scene is being referred to? When Krokus first meets the Straw Hat crew, he has a deadly serious look. He sits down in his deck chair without saying a word and opens the newspaper. Lysop yells at him that they have cannons and it would lead to a fight if he remains so hostile.

Especially the line “Someone will die” could come across well with Russel, according to users. User shbk even mentions that he doesn’t want to watch the series if they don’t include the joke.

Apart from Krokus’s best moment, fans are curious to see how the two giants will be portrayed. For Doc_Chopper, the CGI size of the giants is one of the moments that will determine the quality of the series.

In Little Garden, where the two giants are located, another arc is hinted at that will only be shown in the manga in a few months. The upcoming arc could become particularly important for two Straw Hat pirates: One Piece is starting an arc that was hinted at 25 years ago – 2 Straw Hat pirates will likely be important

Tarisland: Everything Important About Release, Classes, Codes, Download, System Requirements, Console (PS5), Free to play, Trailer

Karsten Scholz 27. June 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

On June 21, Tarisland will not only be the first major MMORPG of 2024 but also the first ambitious online role-playing game since Lost Ark, which was notably released in February 2022 in the West. MeinMMO summarizes everything important about the release date, preload, system requirements, console (PS5), free to play, trailer, and controller support.

When will Tarisland be released for which platforms? The MMORPG by Tencent and Level Infinite will be released on June 21, 2024, at 09:00 AM German time for PC, Android, and iOS. Pre-download has been available since June 20 at 4:00 AM.

If you are already getting anxious because you may have had bad experiences in the past with online role-playing games that were released for both PC AND mobile devices, we can reassure you! Tarisland is a full-fledged MMORPG for PC in terms of controls, user interface, graphics, and complexity. Consider the mobile version as an optional bonus.

Update from June 27, 2024: We have expanded our overview of Tarisland with numerous guides and useful articles.

Payment Model: Is Tarisland Free to Play and Pay2Win?

How does Tarisland monetize? Thanks to the Free to Play payment model, you can simply download Tarisland and start playing from June 21, 2024. You can invest money into the MMORPG through the following offers:

Monthly Battle Pass, which mainly provides cosmetic items and materials. All Battle Pass contents should also be earnable in-game.
Optional subscription that grants you more experience for the Battle Pass, a bonus on stamina, and the auto-fishing feature. You also benefit from lower taxes in the marketplace.
There is an in-game shop where you can purchase primarily cosmetic items such as skins, mounts, toys, and pets. You can also expand your bank vault or acquire more inventory slots here.

Tarisland: Costs for shop, subscription, battle pass, crystals – how expensive is the free-to-play MMORPG

With crystals, there is a real-money currency through which you can pay for the Battle Pass, the subscription, and your purchases in the in-game shop. In addition, you can convert crystals to gold through the so-called ‘Trade Center’ and buy what other players want to sell with your real money – similar to how it’s done in WoW or Guild Wars 2.

The good news: After the Pay2Win shitstorm last year, the developers have made adjustments to make the payment model fairer. In the already playable Chinese version, for example, it is no longer possible to buy the best equipment for real money.

Full-fledged MMORPG for PC

Why should I try Tarisland? In the past ten years, it has been rare for new, ambitious MMORPGs to be released that focus on a PvE theme park with dungeons and raids.

Tarisland is just such an online role-playing game. Already in the tutorial, you will face the first boss fight, where other fighters will fight by your side. During the leveling phase and in the endgame, further 5- and 10-player challenges await you. Large raids for 20- and 40-player groups are planned.

Tarisland will bring at least 60 new boss fights every year – and they mean it seriously

In line with the focus on PvE group challenges, Tarisland uses an old-school tab-targeting combat system similar to WoW and Final Fantasy XIV. You have nine classes to choose from, each with two specializations. You can switch between them and thus adjust your role.

You can find all the info about the nine classes of Tarisland here:

All Tarisland classes and their counterparts from WoW in overview

Traditionally, the story of Tarisland leads you through the adventure with the associated quests like a red thread. Off the beaten path, you can level professions, engage in trade, or try your hand at PvP.

The fights between players take place in instanced arenas or on battlefields. Equipment is set to a comparable level there. Those who rise through the PvP ranks receive stat bonuses for PvP confrontations.

A small invention accompanies us daily in every purchase – But it could soon disappear after 50 years

Benedikt Schlotmann 27. June 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Today, shopping without is unthinkable: The barcode sticks on every product. But in the future, the barcode could disappear.

Whether you buy a bag of pasta at the supermarket, grab chips for movie night, or order a new gaming mouse, all products have one thing in common: A barcode sticks to every package.

The so-called barcode consists of varying widths of lines and spaces arranged parallel to each other. Important information is stored here, which can be read by scanners and further processed. For example, the price, so you can quickly pay for the scanned goods.

On June 26, 1974, 50 years ago, the barcode turned 50 years old. But by now, new technologies are emerging that could soon replace the barcode.

Will the QR code soon replace the barcode?

What is being worked on? For some time now, various successors to the barcode have been in development. Because the barcode has a problem: the amount of information it can store is limited. And here, the advantage of the QR code comes into play:

Barcodes can only store information horizontally.
QR codes, however, can store information both horizontally and vertically.

Companies like Rentman.io explain that the amount of data that can be stored in a QR code can significantly increase: While a barcode can store 25 characters, a QR code can store up to 2,500 characters.

Additionally, this could save space on packages. Because things like allergy warnings, contests, or other notes could also be stored in the QR code.

Moreover, the QR code can be significantly smaller and still readable by cash register systems. Various companies are therefore actively promoting the QR code. According to Tagesschau, 80% of all cash and scanning systems are already prepared for a world after the barcode.

The barcode was invented back in 1949, but only used in 1974

When was the barcode invented? The inventors of the barcode are always mentioned as the Americans Joseph Woodland and Bernard Silver.

To be able to automatically read product information without numbers, the two students developed a concept in 1948 and 1949 and applied for a patent. They later sold their patent for $15,000.

However, the barcode was first used in 1974: On June 26, 1974, a pack of Wrigley’s gum was scanned with a special device in a Marsh supermarket in the US state of Ohio.

Other business ideas: One business sells returns from Amazon and has gained some fame because of it. But why are so many people rushing to buy old returns from Amazon? One business sells returns from Amazon for 15 euros – One was lucky and found a good television

Autoplay

Backhand Blade

Location: You can find the Backhand Blade near the grace point “Three-Way Crossroads.” Move in the eastern direction until you recognize the stone monuments from afar. Ride to the furthest one. Near the grave, you will find the blades on the ground.

Smith Script – Curse Blade

Location: This two-handed weapon can be farmed right at the beginning at the grace point “Gravefield Plains.” Defeat the aspect in front of you until it drops the weapon. With items like the talisman “Silver Scarab” or the item “Silver Feather Talisman” you can increase your luck chance. High values in arcane energy also support your luck while farming.

Black Steel Great Hammer

Location: To obtain the “Black Steel Great Hammer,” you need to head in the northeastern direction from the grace point “Gravefield Plains” until you reach the Church of Comfort. In this church, a Black Knight awaits. Defeat this easy opponent and you will receive the hammer after the fight.

Great Katana

Location: To find the Great Katana, you must take the northwestern route from the grace point “Three-Way Crossroads” until you reach a large lake. A ghost flame dragon sleeps in this lake. Do not wake it and instead go to the corpse in front of the dragon. This corpse holds the sword.

Pata

Location: To find the Pata, you must take the western route towards “Belurat, Tower Village” from the grace point “Three-Way Crossroads.” After you pass through the tunnel, take a sharp left turn and continue up the path until you find the grace point “Cliff Road, Terminus.”

Now follow the path in the southeastern direction until you reach the Church of Blessing. This is somewhat well-hidden but cannot be missed. Search the corpse in front of the church near a hole – there you will find armor as well as the Pata.

Milady

Location: From the grace point “Three-Way Crossroads,” you cross the Great Bridge of Ellac, which is located in the northeastern direction, and continue until you have crossed a second bridge and stand before Castle Ensis. Now keep left and climb the stairs. Take a sharp left turn until you are at the cliffs.

Now keep left again and walk up the wooden stairs to the building. You will encounter a soldier and a dog in front of you. After defeating them, you can spot a tower in front of you. Climb the ladder and open the chest. There you will find Milady.

Anvil Hammer

Location: The Anvil Hammer is located in the dungeon “Lavazulauf der ruined forge” and can be obtained when you rob the forge of its treasures. You reach the dungeon after crossing the bridge of Ellac and keeping to the right. Ride past the blood creatures until you see a large broken building that you can enter, which is well-lit.

The dungeon does not have bosses, only golems and flame slimes that you can defeat. You will receive the hammer once you navigate the Lavazulauf of the forge and balance on the steel pipe until you reach the end. Now jump to the left side and interact with the forge to receive the Anvil Hammer.

Smith Script Dagger

Location: The Smith Script Dagger is located in the dungeon “Lavazulauf der ruined forge.” So follow the path again into the dungeon that also provides you with the Anvil Hammer. You will find the blades on your exploration on a corpse that is guarded by a golem. You cannot miss it.

Fire Spark Perfume Bottle

Location: The Fire Spark Perfume Bottle is located in front of Castle Ensis at the soldiers’ camp. Cross the Ellac Bridge and keep slightly right until you see tents guarded by perfumers. You will find the perfume bottle in a chest at the perfumers’ camp.

WoW: The End of The War Within has probably been leaked – This is how it continues

Cortyn 27. June 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

World of Warcraft has accidentally leaked where the journey with The War Within leads. The contents of Patch 11.1 and 11.2 are well known.

The next expansion of World of Warcraft, The War Within, is currently still in beta, as the release is not due for about 2 months. But already, it has been leaked how WoW will proceed afterwards. Initial clues about what will happen in Patch 11.1 and 11.2 have been found in the game files. We have all the information for you.

Spoiler Warning: The article discusses the possible future of The War Within and therefore contains potential spoilers.

What was discovered? As YouTuber Bellular explains in one of his latest videos, some objects found in the game files clearly suggest what areas we will be visiting in the future.

Some icons have the following names:

Goblin Raid
Ethereal Raid

Since the first raid in The War Within is already known and items in this regard are called “Nerubian Raid”, it’s clear that Blizzard names items from the various raids this way – thereby indirectly revealing what raids are still on the horizon.

What does this mean? Even though we are entering the realm of speculation here, the names give clear hints as to where the journey is likely to lead.

“Goblin Raid” is likely to point to the area “Undermine”. This is the place where the Goblins originally come from and where Azerite was found for the first time. That the Goblins play a special role in The War Within has already been indirectly hinted at by Blizzard – as one of the new short stories revolves around Gazlowe, the current leader of the Horde Goblins.

But the second raid, the “Ethereal Raid,” is likely to be even more exciting. The Ethereals are a race that has already experienced the effects of the Void. Their home world K’aresh contained – just like Azeroth – a World Soul. K’aresh was destroyed by the Void Lord Dimensius. Dimensius, in turn, is the Void Lord who appointed Xal’atath as his “Herald.” The puzzle is coming together.

Thus, it is very likely that we will travel to the destroyed K’aresh with Patch 11.2 (similar to how we went to Argus back then) and experience firsthand what happens to a world consumed by the Void. We will probably encounter the “Shadowguard” there – these are Ethereals who have been completely consumed by the Void and therefore stand on Xal’atath’s side. We have the entire story of Xal’atath summarized here.

How likely is the leak? For Blizzard, this whole incident may be a bit embarrassing, as exactly the same thing happened during the beta of Dragonflight. Back then, the names of icons revealed that a coming patch would take us to the Emerald Dream – and that is exactly what happened.

At that time, icons had names like “Blackdragon Outdoor” and “Emerald Dream Outdoor” – which referred to the Zaralek Cave and the Emerald Dream.
