Pokémon GO: More than 54,000 experience points – How a trainer achieved the nearly perfect throw

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

A trainer has collected a gigantic sum of more than 54,000 experience points with just a single throw in Pokémon GO. We explain how he managed to do it.

To reach the maximum level 50 in Pokémon GO, you need to complete some tasks and accumulate a large amount of experience points. You can increase the friend level of your friends, complete research tasks, or, for example, catch Pokémon.

A trainer on Reddit now reports an almost perfect throw in terms of the maximum yield of experience points. He has collected the incredible sum of 54,020 experience points with just a single throw. And that was without an experience point bonus from an event being active.

We will show you exactly how he did it and which bonuses he missed for the perfect throw.

2 small bonuses missing for the perfect throw

What bonuses did the trainer achieve in the throw? As the trainer shows in his Reddit post, he collected the following bonuses with his throw.

  • Caught Pokémon: 600 XP
  • New Pokémon: 2,000 XP
  • First catch of the day: 9,000 XP
  • Series bonus: 36,000 XP
  • Fabulous throw: 6,000 XP
  • Curveball: 120 XP
  • Catch with one throw: 300 XP

In total, he reached a total of 54,020 experience points through the combination of these bonuses.

How did the trainer do it? The trainer cleverly combined many bonuses. He caught a new Pokémon, which was also the first catch of the day. By catching Pokémon on 7 consecutive days, he additionally claimed the series bonus.

Additionally, he caught the Pokémon with just a single throw, which was a fabulous curveball throw. This added more bonuses. Because the trainer activated a lucky egg before the throw, all the experience points were also doubled.

Which bonuses did the trainer miss? Although the trainer has already combined most of the possible bonuses, there are still 2 more bonuses that could have granted him additional experience points for the throw.

If the trainer had caught the Pokémon in AR+ mode, he could have additionally received 300 (or 600 with a lucky egg) experience points for the Expert Handler bonus. Additionally, with a suitable activated Mega Evolution, he could have received another 25 (or 50 with a lucky egg) experience points.

This way, he could have added another 650 to his already received experience points for the throw and would have reached 54,670 experience points.

What do you think about it? Have you achieved a similar amount of experience points with a single throw? What is your personal record? Feel free to write us in the comments. If you want to know which events await you in April 2024 in Pokémon GO, you will also find that with us.

“I can’t believe I’m experiencing this” – Destiny 2 surprises fans with the first new enemy types in 6 years

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

Destiny 2 provided new insights into the upcoming DLC “The Final Shape” in a livestream. A new enemy type was also revealed, which finally brings excitement to the fans of the loot shooter after a long time.

What is this new enemy type? In “The Final Shape”, the Guardians continue their fight against The Witness, who has a group of aggressive fighters by his side.

The group calls themselves “the Torments” and consists of various units, all of which have new abilities. Four new units of the Torments were introduced in the stream:

  • Grimm – a flying enemy that slows you down and suppresses your abilities
  • Husk – an acrobatic melee fighter with blade weapons that sends a spirit after you if you don’t take him out through his weak point
  • Caregiver – an enemy that uses Stasis to freeze you
  • Webber – an enemy that uses Strand to pull you towards him against your will

Additionally, we already know about the Subjugators, who also belong to the Torments and will be integrated into the game with “The Final Shape”:

  • Stasis Subjugators – Use their powers to slow down, freeze, and smash
  • Strand Subjugators: Can bind you with proximity mines or fire projectiles that slice through their opponents.

The Torments that came into the game with Lightfall and can shoot Void projectiles with their huge scythe also belong to the Torments.

In the video you can see more about the Torments and get an impression of the new enemies:

Bungie surprises players: “I thought I wouldn’t experience this anymore”

How does the community react to the announcement? Very positively. Bungie was able to convince many players with the content shown from “The Final Shape” and especially with the announcement of the new enemy type they positively surprised. This was also reflected in the comments on MeinMMO:

  • MeinMMO reader Splitter: “Wow, a new enemy race! That I’m experiencing this. I approached the stream yesterday with low expectations, but what was shown really impressed me overall. Especially the new enemy faction, but ‘Prismatic’ also looks really cool.”
  • MeinMMO reader in oute: “Really good what you could see there. I can’t wait to test the new builds. The idea with the class items is also really good. I’m curious to see how that will affect… it can only be fun. New enemies are also included… it will be a worthy closure. I’m already looking forward to it.”

The first new enemy type since Forsaken

What was the last new enemy type? Strictly speaking, it was the Torments, but as we now know, they belong to the new faction that will increasingly stand in your way in “The Final Shape”. The Torments were therefore just individual fighters of the new enemy type until the end.

That makes the Mockery, which entered the game in September 2018 as part of the Forsaken DLC, the last new enemy type that we welcomed in Destiny 2. This will be almost 6 years ago on June 4, 2024, when “The Final Shape” is released.

The new PS5 game from South Korea sparks a discussion about beautiful women in video games

Lydia Lydia Reading time 3 minutes

The PS5 will receive a new exclusive on April 26, 2024. Stellar Blade is an action-adventure that is said to have Soulslike elements. Instead of discussing the gameplay, however, many are talking about the protagonist Eve.

What is the discussion about Stellar Blade? The upcoming PS5 exclusive from the Korean studio Shift Up focuses on action and a beautiful protagonist. The body of heroine Eve is based on a 3D scan of the Korean model Shin Jae-eun. Although Stellar Blade has not yet been released on the PS5, it has been discussed for months:

  • The protagonist Eve in Stellar Blade is seen by some as a contrast to a trend in Western game studios to portray female characters more realistically.
  • Some gamers feel that heroines in Western games are no longer as feminine or attractive as they used to be. They believe the Korean studio made the right design decision.
  • However, critics see Stellar Blade as a possible regression in terms of unrealistic beauty ideals and the sexualization of female game characters – for example, with a skin-tight, nude-colored bodysuit.

Criticism of Eve in the West as a “bland doll” that does not represent a real woman

What is the big topic right now? When the Shift Up team released a demo of Stellar Blade over the Easter holidays, many could get a sense of the game. The gameplay is said to be pretty solid despite all the discussions: Some previews describe it as a mix of the Soulslike Sekiro and the NieR games from Square Enix.

A preview from the gaming site IGN France praised the combat, exploration, and atmosphere in the demo: The combat system is described as “an explosive cocktail with incredible results.” The only criticism is for the character design:

  • Eve lacks the iconic style of characters like Bayonetta or 2B from Nier; she is bland.
  • The model on which the character is based is lost under layers of changes; her body is no longer recognizable.
  • The author finally refers to Eve as “a doll being sexualized by someone who has never seen a real woman.”

This last section was understood by some as “the creator of Stellar Blade has probably never seen a real woman.”

Can a character be unrealistic if it is based on a real woman?

Here’s how the controversy escalated: Former Blizzard employee Mark “Grummz” Kern posted a snippet of the article with a photo of the Korean model as well as the wife of the studio head, probably to refute the article’s alleged theses (via X). The clear message of the tweet:

The creators of Stellar Blade have seen a “real woman” before. Here they are.

IGN France removed the section from the article and apologized: They did not intend to offend anyone at Shift Up or their work.

The discussion made its way back to South Korea. The Korean version of Maxim magazine released a segment on YouTube discussing what constitutes a realistic body. They raised the question of whether a character that is based on a real person can be labeled unrealistic.

The answer to this is, for MeinMMO author Lydia, actually obvious: While the body of a model may be real, it can simultaneously set an unrealistic standard for other women who do not earn their living based on their appearance. Thus, the discussion should actually be over.

A similarly large discussion about the appearance of a female game character occurred in 2021 with Horizon Forbidden West: She was “not feminine enough” for some gamers.

Man sells his old Pokémon cards for 22 euros – almost makes a big mistake

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

A man wants to make some quick money by selling his old Pokémon cards. However, he makes a big mistake – but the TikTok community rushes to help.

What cards were those? The TikTok user “leighceezy” filmed himself bringing his old Pokémon cards to a trading card store to sell them. He explained that he found the cards during spring cleaning and heard that some trading cards could be worth a lot of money.

In the end, however, the young man only received $24, roughly €22, for his collection. The cards were likely damaged since he played with them quite a lot as a child. However, attentive viewers spotted an unexpected treasure among the shown cards (via Jeux Video).

Community Saves Man from a Big Mistake

What was the valuable card? In leighceezy’s collection was a special variant of the Eevee evolution Espeon. It was a so-called Gold Star card, marked with a golden star at the end of its name.

The “Espeon Gold Star” card features the Psychic Pokémon in its green shiny variant and was only available during the “Pokémon Organized Play” events, the earlier e-sports competitions in Pokémon. The card also belongs to the last Japanese promo cards that were translated into English.

So, it is a real rarity that should be worth significantly more than the $1.50 that the TikToker originally mentioned. Some of the comments under the video promptly pointed this out to him.

What is the card worth now? That entirely depends on its condition. This cannot be determined from the short video. In excellent condition, the green Gold Star Espeon is worth several thousand euros – current offers range between €2,900 and €17,000 (via cardmarket, as of April 9, 2024).

To achieve such prices, leighceezy would need to get his card graded. Without grading, the Espeon could still be worth around $1,700 (via Price Charting). Even with damage, leighceezy should at least be able to sell the card for several hundred dollars.

How did the seller react? In an update that leighceezy posted shortly after on his TikTok channel, he proudly holds the card up to the camera. He explains that he went back to the store and got it back. He also thanks everyone who made him aware of the card’s true value.

The young man emphasizes that he sees no blame with the store employees: they are cool people who took care of him well. He just happened to go there on a day when it was very busy; such things happen.

Some TikTok users are less convinced: they suspect that the store tried to pull a fast one on leighceezy. Anyone who knows anything about Pokémon cards should have immediately recognized the value of a Gold Star card, they say in the comments.

Destiny 2 disables many of your weapons because a perk has been destroying the game since Tuesday evening

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

The new week in Destiny 2 started with the new update “Into the Light”. While many Guardians were excited about the new activity, there were, as usual, complications. Bungie had to put a stop to a bug by disabling a perk on your weapons.

What complications arose? Bungie released a short video before the update detailing upcoming changes in Destiny 2. A new class and exotic class items are set to be released with “The Final Shape”. Once the stream was over, fans were able to download the free update “Into the Light”.

However, just a few hours after the update was released, Guardians were greeted with a message from the architects, as they disabled a large portion of your weapons due to a bug making them too powerful (via bungie.help).

Start video
Destiny 2: The Final Shape – Gameplay trailer for the new talents

Infinitely increased rate of fire leaves enemies no chance

What was the bug? The bug revolved around the weapon perk “Cascade Point”, which can be found on many weapons. The perk causes final blows or sustained precision hits with another weapon to temporarily increase the rate of fire of the weapon that possesses this perk.

However, those who performed a small trick could extend the “short” duration to infinite, thus benefiting from a weapon that flooded your enemies with bullets. Cheese Forever, a well-known YouTuber who reveals many bugs and glitches, demonstrated this error in his video:

Link to the YouTube content

To execute this glitch, players needed to possess a weapon that had two perk points in the same row as “Cascade Point”. Then they achieved a kill with another weapon and went into the menu to swap the perk on the Cascade weapon on and off. After that, players could switch to the Cascade weapon and enjoy the perk indefinitely.

It was even possible to deactivate and reactivate the infinite effect if one wanted to save the effect for a later point in a fight. However, Bungie did not take long to disable all your weapons with double perk points that possess this perk.

How long will the weapons be disabled? That is still unknown. Destiny 2 runs on an outdated engine, and it can take a long time for developers to figure out what was broken in the system.

However, since this is a major bug affecting many weapons, we believe that Bungie will have the issue resolved by next week or the week after at the latest. Should the issue be more serious, a fix may not occur until the release of “The Final Shape”. We will keep you updated.

Palworld: Farming and finding sulfur – The best locations

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

An important resource in Palworld is sulfur. You need it for making gunpowder. We will explain to you where you can farm and find this raw material.

What is sulfur: Sulfur is one of the most important raw materials in Palworld. You primarily use it to manufacture gunpowder, which you need for your weapons.

As with most raw materials in Palworld, the game does not tell you where to find sulfur. Many players therefore scour the map for hours, hoping to stumble upon the resource.

If you are having trouble finding the raw material in the game, the following tips may help you.

In a separate article, we also reveal how you can level up quickly in Palworld.

Start video

Farming sulfur – Locations

Where do you find sulfur? There are several places where you can find more sulfur than in others. For example, the desert biome is well suited for mining sulfur. This area is located in the northern part of the map. Here you will find plenty of sulfur along with coal, pal-oil, and some other resources.

Later in the game, you will enter the volcano biome. There is Mount Obsidian. Here you can find a larger sulfur deposit behind a tower near the volcano. Additionally, there is a fast travel point there, making it easier to transport the resource back to your base. You can find some tips for your first base here.

You will also find sulfur less often in the dungeons of the game.

You can farm sulfur in the volcano and desert biomes (via mapgenie.io)

How to mine sulfur? Sulfur can be found in sulfur veins. This means you need a pickaxe to mine the raw material. You can recognize the places where you can mine sulfur by a large green rock.

Transporting sulfur

How to transport sulfur: Easy transport is not insignificant because sulfur is quite a heavy resource. So either you travel back and forth multiple times between your base and the sulfur location, or you set up a pal box nearby, which allows for fast travel.

In combination with two pieces of charcoal and sulfur, you can then produce the valuable gunpowder.

Official image of Dragon Ball Z shows what the anime has denied you so far: Gohan as Super Saiyan 3

Marie Friske Marie Friske Reading time 2 minutes

So far, you have only seen a few Saiyans as Super Saiyan 3 in the anime Dragon Ball Z, including the main character Son Goku. But the image from a game shows you what his son Son Gohan looks like in this powerful form.

What is Super Saiyan 3? In the Dragon Ball Z anime, Saiyans like Goku or Gohan can transform into different stages, changing their appearance while also increasing their strength.

Since Super Saiyan 3 requires an incredible amount of Ki, it is rarely used. In the anime, you have only seen a few characters, like protagonist Goku, in this form. But one image shows you what Gohan would look like as Super Saiyan 3.

What the Z actually stands for in Dragon Ball, you can find out in this video:

Start video
Dragon Ball: This is what the Z in the title stands for

Gohan in an alternate reality

What kind of image is this? The image comes from Super Dragon Ball Heroes World Mission, a tactical card game where you work towards becoming the Super Dragon Ball Heroes world champion.

Here you can see the super-strong Gohan for yourself:

While this is an official image since it comes from the franchise (the anime Super Dragon Ball Heroes is a spin-off of the game), creator Akira Toriyama was not involved in the development of the game.

Therefore, you should not consider the card as canon in the official story. Because besides Son Gohan as Super Saiyan 3, you can find all kinds of “what if?” scenarios in the card game that you probably will never see in the anime.

What could Gohan have become? As Screenrant reported, the creator of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, had actually planned to establish Gohan as the new protagonist of the series.

However, he dismissed the idea because he did not see the character as a fitting main character:

“I intended to give Gohan the main role… but that didn’t work out. I felt that in comparison to Goku, he ultimately wasn’t suitable for the role.”

WoW has a new deal with China, destroyed statue is being rebuilt

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

For Chinese fans of World of Warcraft, it is a big day. Because their favorite game is returning after nearly 18 months of absence.

World of Warcraft is more than just a game for many, often it is a piece of home. For Chinese fans, it was shocking news in January 2023 that Blizzard and NetEase ended their collaboration. Because that meant: Most Blizzard games were no longer available in China from then on. 666 million potential players lost their digital home. Now there is a new deal, and Chinese fans will even get additional events to make up for lost time.

A statue that was angrily destroyed back then is also set to be rebuilt – as a new symbol of cooperation.

With the upcoming expansion “The War Within,” players should be able to play in China again:

What’s the deal about? NetEase and Blizzard have announced that they have renewed their collaboration. The first games should be accessible again for Chinese fans this summer.

Since a lot has happened since the end of the collaboration, such as in World of Warcraft, Chinese fans missed out on many events and rewards that will probably only be available once in WoW, such as the current “Plunderstorm” mode. These events are intended to be made up for in another form, and the previous accounts should largely be restored.

Why did the deal fail back then? The exact reasons for the failure of the deal back then are not known; however, emotions were heated on both sides. At the end of the negotiations, the Chinese side became very emotional, and some sources indicate that one of the Blizzard executives was referred to as a “fool” after the negotiations failed. Rumors suggest that this was primarily due to Bobby Kotick, who allegedly wanted to negotiate significantly better conditions for Blizzard, to the detriment of NetEase (via wowhead).

Meanwhile, Blizzard is in the hands of Microsoft and is led by different people. Therefore, it seemed possible to negotiate a new deal with NetEase.

What’s the story with the statue? When the deal between NetEase and Blizzard failed in January 2023, emotions boiled over on the Chinese side. The NetEase offices responsible for Blizzard were almost abandoned overnight, and at the same time, a huge statue was destroyed. The statue was a representation of “Gorehowl,” the mighty axe of Grommash Hellscream. NetEase destroyed this statue during a live stream.

This very statue is now set to be rebuilt, almost as a landmark for the new agreement. Chinese players can participate in the construction of the statue, and some of their comments will even be incorporated into the statue.

For both Chinese players and Blizzard, the renewal of this deal is good news – because without the Chinese market, one would miss out on a lot of revenue.

In a few days, the Alpha of World of Warcraft: The War Within will also start – everything indicates so.

The great artist behind Dragon Ball designed packaging for video games – But his talent was not recognized

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Akira Toriyama was the manga artist of Dragon Ball. At the beginning of his career, he not only created the drawings for his own manga but also illustrated the covers of video games. However, in the West, these were coldly replaced.

Why were there different images for the West? Outside of Japan, Toriyama’s drawings were replaced by 3D models. At that time, the manga artist was probably still too unknown for his drawings to be a good selling point. It wasn’t until years later that the big wave of anime and manga arrived in the West.

The video games include:

  • Dragon Quest
  • Dragon Quest Monsters
  • Tobal No. 1
  • Dragon Ball

A user on X named DougDinsdale is said to have served as a translator for some of the video games. He supposedly asked Square Enix why they replaced the drawings. The company allegedly responded that they found the cartoon style too childish.

The curious thing is: In the video game for Dragon Ball, the entire franchise was simply swapped out. Instead of Son Goku, we play as a human with a monkey face. Son Goku is also no longer seen on the packaging, instead, a Kung-Fu master kicks towards us.

The appropriate image for this can be found further down in the embedded post from X.

One of the last works that Toriyama worked on is Dragon Ball Daima. The anime will start in Fall 2024:

Start video
Dragon Ball DAIMA is nostalgic in the new trailer

Toriyama’s drawings are still being replaced today

Is the problem still present today? In fact, there are still some cases today where there are two different versions of a game. As user Zalman writes on X, especially the versions on Nintendo Switch use Akira Toriyama’s design. As examples, he mentions Dragon Quest Builders and Dragon Quest 11.

In the PS4 versions, however, 3D models are used instead. The Ugly Otter mentions that the PS4 version exists in both versions, but in any case, the publisher wants to offer fans an alternative variant to Toriyama’s drawing.

According to user alexfkraus, Toriyama’s drawing style is said to have only been seen in the USA starting in 2001. The first game featuring his drawing was Dragon Quest 3 for the Game Boy Color. But there is one exception: Chrono Trigger for the Super Nintendo already had the Dragon Ball creator’s drawing style on the cover.

By now, Toriyama is so well known in the West that many of his drawings have been featured in various video games. Unfortunately, there will be no more images from him in the future: Akira Toriyama drew one last picture before his death, showing a new series by the creator of Dragon Ball

Steam: They have created great MMORPGs – Now a trailer shows their new role-playing game for the first time

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 2 minutes

Yesterday, the first trailer for the first game by Loric Games was released. The role-playing game will be available on Steam and will send you through the world of Elysium on an airship.

What game is this about? Echoes of Elysium is a new survival RPG that was announced on Steam. The exact release date of the game is not yet known. The game is being developed by the relatively new studio Loric Games.

Whether a release on other platforms and consoles is planned is not known at this time.

A first trailer gives you an impression of the setting and graphics of the game:

Echoes of Elysium reveals itself in first trailer

Who is behind Loric Games? Loric Games is a development studio based in Northern Virginia. It was founded in 2022 by Mythic Entertainment veterans Brian Johnson, Ray Soto, and Mythic co-founder Rob Denton.

As former employees at Mythic and BioWare, the three worked on titles such as Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot, Warhammer Online, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Loric Games has grown to a small team of under 20 employees to date.

What can you expect in Echoes of Elysium? The trailer for the new role-playing game from the trio doesn’t show much yet. You can only get a first impression of the setting and graphics.

According to their own statements (via mmorpg.com), the developers want to create a game that offers more than just eating berries, chopping trees, and building stone huts. Instead, Echoes of Elysium aims to combine the typical survival aspects with a really good story.

In the game, you will explore a vast world full of flying islands on your airships. In this procedural world, ancient machines are said to exist in harmony with the tranquil skies and landscapes. Many different secrets that you can discover are promised here.

Individual areas and combat scenarios are supposed to change randomly, promising plenty of fresh gameplay hours.

Your airships will become your new home in this game and serve as your main base. You should be able to design, improve, and customize them according to your needs to ensure your life on them. You can do this alone or in co-op with other players.

Not much is known about the story yet. However, certain survival aspects are already promised in the description on Steam. You collect resources to secure your survival or to build equipment, buildings, tools, and airships. In the meantime, you must fight against dangerous monsters controlled by a mysterious power.

Enemy airships can also attack you, so you should prepare your ship for that as well. So far, no PvP mode has been announced, which could indicate that you will also have to engage in air battles against other players.

A new space game on Steam rivals Star Citizen – Sci-Fi fans donate 350,000 € in just 21 days

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In the Starship Simulator on Steam, you can explore space together with your friends, and all of this while the game is still funded on Kickstarter.

Update: We updated this article on 04/10/2024 at 10:17 AM. We added a paragraph that highlights the different approaches to realism.

What kind of game is this? The Starship Simulator is a spaceship simulation that values realism greatly. Together with your friends or alone, you are to assume the role of a crew member aboard the first spaceship built by humans with the ability to travel at faster-than-light speeds. 

Depending on your role, you and your friends have different tasks aboard the ship. As a security officer, for example, you are responsible for fighting, while as a technician, you dive into the eternal cable tunnels of the ship. And yes, these really exist.

In contrast to competitors like Star Citizen, the Starship Simulator places a lot of emphasis on realism or at least “plausible realism.” So a spaceship where the buttons are actually connected by cables to the modules.

While there is also a lot of realism in Star Citizen, it mainly relates to things like ammunition capacity for NPCs and not that there is actually a cable running from the onboard cannon to the weapons officer’s seat, which can indeed be cut when under fire. Just recently, we reported that Star Citizen is not entirely scientific in some aspects.

This is how good the competitor Star Citizen looks in the trailer for Alpha 3.22.

Start video
Star Citizen Alpha 3.22 Trailer

The Kickstarter project promises a lot – too much?

What does Starship Simulator want to offer? In addition to realism and the eight different roles for the crew in multiplayer, there is supposed to be a fully explorable Milky Way, at a scale of 1:1. The galaxy is to be procedurally generated, creating various star systems and their associated planets. 

Thanks to the targets reached on Kickstarter, players will also be able to set foot on the planets. There will also be aliens, with whom diplomatic contact must be established, and if necessary, the crew must defend the ship.

On Kickstarter, there are additional ambitious goals to unlock:

  • A VR mode for immersive gameplay
  • Shuttles and alien structures
  • The ability to land on planets and explore every inch of them
  • A standalone “ship vs. ship” mode
  • A dedicated content team to ensure a livelier universe
  • A full campaign with contact to alien civilizations
  • A new spaceship from an existing sci-fi universe as DLC in the game

You can see the game in an early state on YouTube here:

How is the Kickstarter campaign going? The campaign is going very well. Within 21 days, over €350,000 was raised, while only a little over €75,000 was sought.

The game is reminiscent of Star Citizen and includes a playable demo version that allows everyone to get a feel for the game before spending a cent on it.

Who is behind the project? The project is developed by Fleetyard Studios, led by the couple Dan and Claire Govier. The two have mostly developed the game on their own so far, relying on external help and AI tools only for audio issues. 

The money from the Kickstarter funding is also intended to expand the team to create more and better content. 

On the other hand, many developers are working on the competition Star Citizen, and there are already initial results. For example, the character editor was recently introduced: The MMORPG Star Citizen presents the new character editor for 15 minutes

“She has something mystical about her”: Director of Mad Max explains why he chose Anya Taylor-Joy as the new Furiosa

Marie Friske Marie Friske Reading time 2 minutes

George Miller, the director of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, explained in an interview why he cast Anya Taylor-Joy as the new Furiosa in the upcoming film.

With Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a prequel to Fury Road is set to be released soon. Directed by George Miller, the story depicts the young Furiosa trying to escape the biker horde led by Warlord Dementus while he is engaged in a power struggle with Immortal Joe.

George Miller revealed in an interview at Cinema Con 2024 why he chose Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit, Split) for the lead role.

Here’s a trailer for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga:

“She has something mystical about her, yet she is easily approachable.”

As George Miller stated, he saw the actress in Last Night in Soho. Through Edgar Wright, the film’s director, he was able to view it early – and he was immediately taken with Anya Taylor-Joy, as he recounted:

I saw Anya in it and said, “She would be great for” – and he [Edgar Wright] said, “Do it, do it.”

Without me even telling him what it was, he said: “Do it. She’s incredible. She’s incredible.”

George Miller, Source: Screen Rant

The director of the new Mad Max film continued to rave about why the actress is perfect for the role of Furiosa and what she has in common with the previous actress of the character, Charlize Theron:

“She has something that is hard to put into words. She has something mystical about her, yet she is easily approachable. I learned that she is someone who is very, very disciplined, and she is very young. She was a ballet dancer, Charlize was a ballet dancer. I have worked with many brilliant dancers on ‘Happy Feet,’ and I understand the physical and emotional discipline that they possess. […]”

In the end, all of this led to Anya Taylor-Joy landing the lead role in the upcoming Mad Max film.

Why was Chris Hemsworth cast? In the same interview, Miller also addressed his casting decision to take the Thor actor as Dementus in his film.

Initially, he hadn’t even considered Chris Hemsworth until the two met for a conversation. During that time, the director realized that the actor had numerous ideas for the role. Miller was so eager to see him in action that he cast him:

So I thought, “I can’t wait to see what he does.” He really engaged well with the material, so I thought, “Let’s see what he can make of it.”

When does Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga come out? In Germany, the film will be released in theaters next month. You can watch the new installment of the Mad Max series starting May 23, 2024.

Fortnite: Many players are angry because Epic Games has drastically changed the shop – now fearing price increases

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite there was a change that turns your locker and the shop upside down. Many players are annoyed about this.

What kind of change is this? In Fortnite, all skins were previously categorized into four different rarity levels. The respective rarity level was indicated by the background color of the skin. This has now changed with the new update.

From now on, there are no more rarity levels. This means that the background color of all skins is now uniformly blue, and the labels for the rarity levels have also been removed.

However, the different series like the Icons series or the Gaming Legends series will still exist.

How the shop in Fortnite now looks is shown by the account FNAssist on Xcom:

Link to the Twitter content

Additionally, skins in the shop no longer switch worldwide at a general time. Now there is an update timer that is based on the player’s time zone.

How were skins categorized before? There were four different rarity levels that differed in background color and price:

  • Uncommon – these cost 800 V-Bucks, which is about 8 euros, and had a green background
  • Rare – these cost 1,200 V-Bucks, which is about 12 euros, and had a blue background
  • Epic – these cost 1,500 V-Bucks, which is about 15 euros, and had a purple background
  • Legendary – these cost 2,000 V-Bucks, which is about 20 euros, and had an orange background

In addition, there are series skins, which include skins of film characters, and their background differed from the four usual rarity levels. There are series skins, for example, for “Star Wars” characters like Kylo Ren or superheroes like Spider-Man and The Flash.

What do players say about the change? A large part of the players feel that the change is bad and are angry. Some players suspect that Epic Games will now constantly offer new skins at inflated prices.

  • Its_Stug via X.com: “Dude, the rarity system is an essential part of Fortnite, they can’t remove it.”
  • kiritophantomhive via Reddit: “So Fortnite and Epic have lost their minds, they removed rarities to get away with overpriced cosmetics of lower tiers.”
  • Iron_Jake2 via X.com: “I feel like they did this so they can charge more for skins. The rarity system usually said a lot about the skin and its set.”

Other users also criticize on social networks that their locker has become even more confusing as a result and that it now takes them even longer to find specific skins within their collection.

  • Dweller via X.com: “It will now be harder to find my items in my locker. I used the rarity system to find what I need. Additionally, with this new system, you get the feeling that they can now get away with any price for a skin since we don’t know what rarity they should be.”

In general, the update has brought great dissatisfaction – even though some players were very excited about the new skins for “Avatar – The Last Airbender” that let you play as Zuko, Katara, or Toph.

Battlefield 2042 removes a feature that regularly brought new content – will focus on the future

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

EA has spoken about the future of Battlefield 2042 in a blog post and announced that there will be no new seasons.

Battlefield 2042 is the latest installment in the popular shooter series and was released on November 19, 2021. However, upon release, the game faced significant criticism from fans, and thus Battlefield 2042 was torn apart by players on Steam.

Since then, EA DICE has been working on making amends and trying to turn the shooter into the game that fans of the series desired. To achieve this, the developers introduced new content, with the major seasons playing a key role.

Here you can see a trailer for the current Season 7:

No new seasons for Battlefield 2042

What does the future hold for the shooter? Battlefield General Manager Byron Beede provided an update on the future of Battlefield 2042 in a blog post on the official Electronic Arts website.

The post states that it is now time to shift focus from the present to the future. This means, Byron adds, that Season 7 will be the final season of Battlefield 2042. Nevertheless, the shooter will continue to receive updates after Season 7, including new modes, events, and maintenance work.

While we have enjoyed and are proud of creating these seasons with additional content for Battlefield 2042, it is now necessary for us to look ahead to the future. This means that Season 7 will be the final season for Battlefield 2042. After the end of Season 7, we will continue to support the game with new challenges, events, modes, and of course ongoing maintenance, but we will not offer any official seasons anymore.

We know that this news may be disappointing. However, when we looked at what the future of the series requires, it became clear that it is time for us to shift our resources and focus to fully dedicate ourselves to what comes next.

Byron Beede via ea.com

Additionally, Beede announced that Motive Studio will now set up a team focused on working on Battlefield. Motive Studio has previously developed Star Wars: Squadrons and the remake of Dead Space.

Battlefield’s player numbers are better than a year ago

What is the current state of Battlefield 2042? Since the much-criticized release, there have been a number of updates that brought new content such as weapons, vehicles, and maps to the game, as well as some revisions to existing content – including the class system and maps like Hourglass.

With free weekends and discounts, new players were also attracted who did not want to pay the full price for the shooter. As a result, Battlefield 2042 briefly had 100,000 players on Steam.

The Season 7, which started on March 18, 2024, once again brought Battlefield 2042 a new map as well as new weapons, including the AK5C (assault rifle) and the SCZ-3 (submachine gun). Also included was the new rocket launcher Predator SRAW.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Only 1.6% of players on Steam have the rarest achievement – It’s actually quite easy

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

Among the achievements of Dragon’s Dogma 2, there are some that are very rare. One of them was even obtained by only 1.6% of all players. However, it is relatively easy to acquire.

Which achievement is it? Dragon’s Dogma 2 has a total of 54 achievements on Steam that players can unlock during their adventure. Some are difficult to obtain or require multiple playthroughs.

For example, multiple endings are waiting to be unlocked. Or you find 80 of the 240 Seeker Medallions for the corresponding achievement.

However, a special achievement is very rare. Only about 1.6% of all players on Steam (via steamcommunity.com) have unlocked it. One might think it involves an elaborate collection task, a difficult boss, or a tricky puzzle like that of the Sphinx.

In truth, the achievement “Plenty Arisen to Go Round” is very easy to obtain. You just need to know what to do.

Start video
For the launch, Dragon’s Dogma 2 will receive a final trailer

Are you a real charmer?

How do you obtain the achievement? In Dragon’s Dogma 2, there is the possibility to give NPCs gifts. This increases their affinity towards you.

To unlock the achievement, you need to win over two NPCs and have them fight each other. However, a prerequisite is that you own your own house. This is possible in the capital of Vermund, Vernworth, as well as in Bakbatthal, the capital of Batthal.

How do you get a house? To obtain a house in Vernworth, you must complete the quest “A Home Sweet Home.” For this, you need to live in Mildred’s house in the city for one week. Afterwards, you can purchase the property for a mere 20,000 gold.

In Bakbatthal, it is even more straightforward. Here, you will be approached by Adrea during your stroll through the city. She sells you a house for 30,000 gold.

What are the next steps? Once you proudly call yourself a homeowner, the gifting can begin. Choose two NPCs in either city and give them plenty of gifts. This will increase their affinity towards you. Particularly quickly done with wyvern crystals.

However, these are correspondingly rare and can only be obtained by killing dragons. Whether you want to sacrifice them for the favor of an NPC is up to you.

Once you have reached maximum affinity with both individuals, invite them both to your private house. You may need to carry one of them there manually.

Once in the house, the situation escalates. Instead of discussing possible threesomes, your new admirers choose the hard way. Without much thought, they start fighting each other for your affection. You can only stand by and watch the spectacle. That’s it; you unlock the achievement.

Since few people are likely to stumble upon this achievement by chance, it is not surprising that only 1.6% of all players have unlocked it. However, once you know how to do it, “Plenty Arisen to Go Round” is quite easy to obtain. You should also give gifts to your romances in the game – on MeinMMO, we show you how to find your love in the game.

A new ‘Lord of the Rings’ game lets you play as Hobbits and could become like Stardew Valley

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

There are quite a few games set in the universe of “The Lord of the Rings”. Soon, another one will be added. However, in Tales of the Shire, you will not experience adventures but, in all likelihood, lead a peaceful life.

What kind of game is it? Tales of the Shire is a new game from the universe of “The Lord of the Rings”. It is being developed by Weta Workshop itself, the creative studio behind the Middle-earth license. The studio was significantly involved in Peter Jackson’s film adaptation.

Private Division is the publisher of Tales of the Shire. This publisher has released titles such as The Outer Worlds and Hades, and is also handling the upcoming No Rest for the Wicked.

Tales of the Shire was announced in autumn 2023 and is expected to be released later this year. However, those hoping for action-packed adventures in Middle-earth will likely be disappointed. It seems that the new game leans towards a significantly cozier experience.

First trailer for the cozy Hobbit game ‘Tales of the Shire’

The Peaceful Life as a Hobbit

What is the game about? So far, there is only a teaser trailer, which you can see above. In it, a woman draws in a book and is then called out of her house.

According to the aesthetics, it appears to be a hobbit hole, and the woman seems to be a hobbit lady. Apparently, we will play as a resident of the Shire.

Private Division describes the game only with the following words (via publisher’s website): “Your cozy hobbit life awaits you in Tales of the Shire. The heartwarming ‘The Lord of the Rings’ game will be released in 2024 for console and PC.”

The keywords “cozy” and “heartwarming” suggest that swords, shields, and wands will stay at home this time. Yes, even the hobbits themselves seem to stay home instead of embarking on a dangerous adventure.

Tales of the Shire could therefore become a real cozy game and remind players of genre heavyweights like Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing. A game in which we indulge in the daily life of a hobbit with all its advantages. Plenty of food and the occasional pipe weed included.

The cozy game Palia is currently going in a similar direction, but is also facing some challenges.

What do the players think? Under the trailer on YouTube, many players have hope that the franchise could finally regain its former glory in the video game sector. The Lord of the Rings has produced some classics like “Battle for Middle-earth” but also led to one of the biggest flops last year with “Gollum”.

  • @LimocinSinFe writes on YouTube: “Please don’t be bad! It would be a great farming game with exploring the surroundings in 3D and beautiful graphics, making us feel like hobbits.”
  • @AaronHooley trusts the development studio: “Anyone who has watched the DVD extras of The Lord of the Rings knows that Weta Workshop doesn’t do half-measures!”
  • @dingusrevoler believes: “I’m saying this will be an Animal Crossing with hobbits.”
  • “Will this be better than Gollum?” wonders @vndragonslayer1.

Only when the developers show more of their game will we know more. Right now, players just hope that the license will also thrive as a video game again without producing further lemons. The latter should be left to the hobbits of Tales of the Shire. There will also be some news in 2024 for The Lord of the Rings Online.

Cheeky action: Player bots in Diablo while visiting Blizzard

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Bots in Diablo are not a rarity. But to be so “bold” as to bot with one’s own account while at Blizzard – that is quite peculiar.

Even though some players doubt that they really exist: There are repeatedly ban waves in the various Blizzard games. This punishes botters and cheaters and suspends their accounts temporarily or permanently from the game.

The fact that some botters are occasionally particularly brazen is illustrated by a story from former Blizzard employee Jason Hall. He recounts how audacious his clan leader was.

Start video
Diablo 4: The gameplay trailer for Season 3

Who is that? Jason Hall is now known on YouTube and Twitch as “Pirate Software”. He used to work for Blizzard and was responsible for security there – for example, for protective measures of accounts against hackers.

Today he is primarily active as a streamer, frequently sharing insider information and telling exciting stories that often seem quite absurd. Recently, he revealed how a gold seller in WoW delivered a clever hacking idea from his colleagues to keep the selling rate stable.

What has Hall said? In one of his clips, he talks about his friendship with a clan leader in Diablo. The two became good friends and often played together. However, his friend was once banned for botting in the past, as part of a ban wave, but that had slowly been forgotten.

Later, Hall invited his friend for a tour of the Blizzard building. For many, it is quite an honor to get to see the “holy halls” where games like Diablo or Warcraft were developed.

However, during this tour, a humorous incident occurred. An department at Blizzard that Hall calls “Risk” is responsible for punishing botters and cheaters. When they arrived at this department and Hall asked if he could show his friend around, a colleague plainly said “No” and beckoned Hall over for a private conversation, during which he revealed:

“We just banned him. He is botting right at this moment.”

Hall was quite incredulous and subsequently asked his friend:

“Are you really botting right at the moment when you are getting a tour at Blizzard?”

The reaction was likely a disappointed “Oh man”.

But at least it led to this rather amusing story that the two will probably still be telling many years from now. Because who can claim that they had to ban their own clan leader multiple times – and once even while being guided around their own workplace.

Whether that was a rather bold or rather foolish botter, that is something everyone must decide for themselves.

Which events are particularly worth attending in April 2024?

These events could be interesting: With the number of events in April, there should be something for everyone. Strong, legendary Pokémon will also be available in April. These stand out particularly:

  • Crypto Raids with Crypto-Entei: The Crypto Raids taking place on weekends in April feature Crypto-Entei. This Pokémon ranks among the strongest attackers in Pokémon GO and could thus be interesting for your fire teams.
  • Community Day Classic with Kindwurm: The Community Day Classic on April 7 features Kindwurm. Its final evolution, Brutalanda, is also a very strong attacker in Pokémon GO. At the event, you have the chance to obtain both good specimens and plenty of candy.

What do you think about the events in April? Are there events you are particularly looking forward to, and have you already marked their dates in your calendar? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers. By the way, there is also an event in March where Crypto-Mewtwo returns.
