Diablo 4: Robe of the Infinite makes Sorceresses currently the OP class – Here’s how to farm it best

The Unique “Robes of the Infinite” ensures that Sorceresses in Diablo 4 are incredibly powerful right now. Here on MeinMMO, you can learn how to best farm the unique chest armor and what makes it so strong.

Since Season 2, it has been possible in Diablo 4 to defeat certain bosses to obtain Uniques. The Echo of Duriel was also added in Season 2 and is the boss in Season 3 that can drop the coveted Uber-Uniques.

The “Robes of the Infinite” is a unique chest armor for Sorceresses that gives you an enormous boost to your damage and your teleport skill. You can farm it from Varshan and Lord Zir to strengthen your build.

In battles against bosses, resistances are quite useful. If you often forget your potions, we have a trick for you:

Targeted Farming at Varshan and Lord Zir

How can I farm the “Robes of the Infinite”? With luck, you can acquire the Unique from world bosses, events, or Nightmare Dungeons. However, to farm the chest armor specifically, you need to collect materials to summon the bosses.

You can pay a visit to Varshan on World Levels 3 and 4 in Diablo 4, while Lord Zir can only be found on World Level 4. The materials for Varshan can mainly be obtained from chests in the Tree of Whispers and through trading at the Alchemist. The “Exquisite Blood” for Lord Zir is obtained from world bosses and Legion events.

What you need to know about Varshan:

  • Location: in his lair “Boshaftenbau” next to the Tree of Whispers in Hawezar
  • Materials:
    • World Level 3: 1 Gargling Head, 1 Blackened Femur, 1 Quaking Hand
    • World Level 4: 1 Gargling Head, 1 Blackened Femur, 1 Quaking Hand, 1 Malicious Heart
  • Level:
    • 55 on World Level 3
    • 75 on World Level 4
  • Damage Type: Shadow/Physical

What you need to know about Lord Zir:

  • Location: Behind the access point “The Darkened Path” in his lair “Seat of the Ancient” in the area Shattered Peaks
  • Materials: 9 Exquisite Blood
  • Level: 80 on World Level 4
  • Damage Type: Fire

Boost to Damage and Mobility Skill

What makes the “Robes of the Infinite” so powerful? The chest armor “Robes of the Infinite” significantly increases Sorceress’ damage and allows enemies to be pulled in and stunned after teleporting.

The “Robes of the Infinite” have the following affixes:

  • + Intelligence
  • + Damage against nearby enemies
  • + Damage against stunned enemies
  • + Ranks for the passive skill “Glass Cannon”
The Robes of the Infinite give you a bonus to your teleport and your damage.

Specifically, the chest armor allows you not only to move swiftly through enemy mobs with teleportation. Additionally, you pull your enemies together and stun them at the same time, allowing you to roast them with lightning. This combination makes Sorceresses an OP class.

The chest armor is a perfect support for your mobility skill and is suitable for various endgame activities in Diablo 4. A look at the leaderboards reveals that the top players also swear by the “Robes of the Infinite”: Sorceresses are currently the strongest class in Diablo 4 – This is what makes them so strong

The new season of Battlefield 2042 has rekindled my passion for PvP shooters – but unfortunately not for Battlefield

Battlefield 2042 has now been on the market for over 2 years. On March 18, Season 7 is set to start and brings some free content for you. MyMMO editor Dariusz got to try out some content from the season and had fun, even though he was currently tired of PvP. The only question is, whether that is good for Battlefield.

The year 2024 has started very relaxed for me. I took a break from PvP shooters and instead played Palworld and Helldivers. I need that from time to time when I get fed up with the constant competition. As soon as I notice that I get much more excited in games like The Finals or Valorant than I have fun, it’s time for a break again. A few months later, however, I always return to PvP.

When I was invited by the Battlefield developers to try out Season 7, I was actually happy not to be playing any PvP. Especially Helldivers is a lot of fun for me. Of course, I accepted the invitation anyway and yes … how should I put it? Now the grind is calling.

The new map is good, the MP is better

The new weapons are fun for me, and I also found the new map “Harbor” good – and I’m actually not a fan of the 2042 maps. Especially the infantry combat between the houses around the C-flag was entertaining.

However, my highlight was the new submachine gun. The SCZ-3 is as fast as Schmitz’s cat. It has a high rate of fire and can be equipped with a drum magazine. In addition, it has a slightly controllable recoil, allowing me to secure kills that were actually outside the ideal range of a submachine gun. The real counterpart of the SCZ-3 must be the “CZ Scorpion EVO 3”. A weapon I enjoy using in many games.

The new assault rifle, the AK 5C, is also solid and can be used without problems at somewhat larger distances. I don’t know if it has what it takes to be part of the current meta, but it didn’t feel bad.

Season 7 has reignited my fire for PvP …

Season 7 of Battlefield 2042 has reignited my fire for PvP, I just don’t know if I will let it blaze in Battlefield. I like the movement and gunplay of Battlefield 2042 and still find both areas extremely well done. The movement speed, the sliding – I just have fun with it. My problems with the game have always been elsewhere.

So, when I was sliding through the new desert map during the playtest and shooting around with the high rate of fire of the Scorpion, joy actually emerged. I had fun and felt the urge to spend a lot of time in PvP in the coming weeks again. But as I thought about which games I should play then, Battlefield 2042 was rather a marginal aspect.

A short time later, I played Titanfall 2 one evening, followed by Rainbow Six: Siege the next. I have also installed the latest updates for The Finals, Valorant, and Overwatch 2. Battlefield 2042 is also on my SSD but has to share my limited time with many other titles.

The passion is missing

Battlefield has actually awakened exactly the right feeling in me with Season 7. But unfortunately, I know that I primarily had fun with the circumstances of the playtest event.

The players present all wanted to test the new weapons and gathered at locations on the map where that was possible. Tanks and helicopters were rarely used, as there are no new ones in Season 7. In general, the players tried to capture flags and did not only act with the goal of farming kills without helping the team.

I usually lose interest in Battlefield when I get annoyed at being constantly flattened by vehicles on very open maps because the pilot is a young god and I can’t do anything against him. Or when both teams are full of snipers who don’t even try to capture a point.

I simply am not a fan of many 2042 maps. The new map is good, but generally, you don’t play just one map. When I have to play Breakthrough or Hourglass, I actually want to press ALT+F right away. This thought shows me: I enjoy playing Battlefield, but I have no passion for the shooter.

While I do not have a passion for Battlefield, it could be much worse. For example, if the next installment becomes a pure extraction shooter: There are only 2 types of new successful PvP shooters and both are garbage

Steam: One of the best alternatives to Diablo is currently only 3 euros

In the current Steam Sale, there are loads of great deals. One of the best is particularly interesting for players looking for an alternative to Diablo 4. Torchlight may be a bit dated, but it’s still a top title.

What kind of game is this?

  • In Torchlight, you play a hero who must save the eponymous city from a dark power. The game is a classic isometric action RPG in the style of Diablo and is considered one of the best alternatives to Blizzard’s franchise.
  • Instead of a gloomy gothic setting like in Diablo, you play in a steampunk world filled with automatons and other machines. Torchlight is mainly characterized by its colorful comic style.
  • The first part of the series is from 2009, but it is still regarded as the pinnacle. On Steam, Torchlight has a rating of 91 percent across all reviews, making it “very positive.”

Here you can currently get Torchlight at a lower price: Steam is currently holding a Spring Sale from March 14th to March 21st, 2024. During this time, you can get all Torchlight titles for 80 percent off:

While Torchlight 2 still has strong ratings of over 90 percent, the third part of the series has dropped significantly with below 50 percent. The first part is still the most popular among many fans.

If you want a good balance between price, rating, and age, go for the second part. Torchlight 2 was released in 2012, so it is also a bit older, but roughly as old as Diablo 3.

If you prefer to get the original, Diablo 4 is currently also 50 percent off for €34.99 instead of €69.99 (via Steam).

Start video
The gameplay trailer of Torchlight 2

Steam Sale in March brings loads of offers

Another action RPG that you can currently get at a significant discount is Tribes of Midgard – actually a survival game with Vikings. In Tribes of Midgard, you build up a settlement and must defend it until the Fimbulwinter comes, the end of time.

Tribes of Midgard has improved significantly over the years. After a weak start, there was a complete rework with a building system and improved classes, giving you a strong mix of survival and hack-and-slash gameplay.

For all those who appreciate graphical wonders, RPGs like Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption, and Hogwarts Legacy are also on sale. Strategy fans can snag a huge bargain with Civilization 6 for €5.99. For shooter players, there’s Rainbow Six Siege for only €3.99. You can find the entire Spring Sale on Steam here.

If you find Torchlight a bit too dated or don’t like the setting very much, you have a new and current title with Last Epoch, which competes with Diablo 4 for players. Last Epoch is regarded as a new, hot tip among ARPG players, with strong content delivered throughout the year: 2024 is the best year if you love games like Diablo

Baldur’s Gate 3: Player survives 80 hours in Honour mode, does everything right, fails at a dialogue

In Baldur’s Gate 3 the Honour Mode is the hardest difficulty level. Any minor mistake, including bugs, can lead to a game over – which a player had to experience bitterly.

What is the Honour Mode? If you are looking for an especially tough challenge, the Honour Mode is the right choice for you. In this difficulty level, you only have a single chance, with no possibility to reload the game.

Every decision must therefore be well thought out, as there is no way to correct mistakes. The Honour Mode is similar to the hardcore mode of other games and there is no way to save scumming if, for example, you are unhappy with a dice roll.

Spoiler: The article contains story spoilers about Act 3.

3 Tips to Reduce Your Carrying Weight in Baldur’s Gate 3

How did the run fail? On Reddit, the player Daxtr0 writes that he lost his 80-hour run in Honour Mode in the dumbest way possible. His adventure in the third act of the game did not end with an epic boss fight, but rather with a faulty dialogue.

He had already played through the game twice before and was confident that he could handle the challenges in Act 3. Together with his companion Lae’zel, he entered the Astral Prism to free Orpheus.

He began speaking to the Emperor about Orpheus’s release. But for some reason, he decided to denounce the lies and deceptions of the Emperor (the true identity of your guardian, who has become a mindflayer) and express his distrust toward him – which turned out to be a fatal mistake.

The player writes:

I don’t know why I did that, it just seemed logical that my character wanted to trust the Emperor, but obviously couldn’t because he was a lying bastard. He responded with some words in random order, and the next dialogue was reduced to a single option: “Continue.” I pressed the button, and I saw my character hand the stones [Nesser Stones] over to the squid [Mind Flayer]! […]

What, what? In just a few seconds he uses the stones, devours Orpheus, runs away, the Elder Brain finds me, I am transformed into a squid and the game is over. […] I should have just beaten his ass right then and there. I’m such an idiot…

Daxtr0 on Reddit

Fortunately, I’m not that stupid

Many players pointed out in the comments under his post that this is a known bug in the game where the option Continue does not display the actual dialogue options the player can actually choose from. The player assumed that the Continue button was the consequence of his decision.

I’m not sure whether this makes me happy or makes me sadder that this bug occurred at such a crucial point in the game, but oh well, writes Daxtr0 and thanks the community for their support.

A new player is pursuing the goal of getting rid of the parasite in Act 1 and is trusting Lae’zel. However, her partner laughs at her for it: Baldur’s Gate 3: “I laughed at my wife for 10 minutes” – Player starts first run, naively trusting a companion

Palworld: You asked for endgame content – Now there is information about the 1st raid

In the survival game Palworld, you can fight 5 boss monsters and several powerful Pals so far. Now you can also look forward to the first raid.

What kind of content is this? Palworld developer Pocket Pair announced it already in the roadmap, and now it is becoming reality: Palworld is getting its first raid. To announce this, the developer posted a video on their YouTube channel.

The video shows how the Pocket Pair character, known from previous videos, holds a Palsoul to a mysterious stone sculpture. The Palsoul begins to swirl and shatter. Following that, meteors rain down on the world, and the Pal Bellanoir appears.

Here you can watch the video yourself:

Start video
The developers of Palworld showcase the 1st raid

What do we know for sure about the raid so far? In the video description, Pocket Pair writes: A powerful evil Pal has appeared and is besieging the Palpagos Islands! So in the raid, you will probably face the new Pal Bellanoir that comes with the raid.

Furthermore, it is known that only the best Pal tamers are supposed to have a chance against it. A release date has not yet been announced. The video ends with the words Coming Soon, meaning available soon.

With the raid, Pocket Pair is not only following the roadmap but also responding to player wishes. A few weeks ago, we wanted to know which features you would like next for the game. Endgame raids were in the top 3.

What can we infer based on the video? So far, there are no raids in Palworld, and since the game has only been in early access since January 2024, we can only speculate for now:

  • If the mechanics from the video are transferred into gameplay, the Bellanoir fight will probably be one that you can start yourself. Bellanoir will likely not appear in the overworld like other Pals and be fightable.
  • Based on the statement that the raid is only for the best Pal tamers, we also assume that Bellanoir will be a battle for those at the current maximum level of 50.
  • The raid will probably really be implemented soon. Pocket Pair has previously stood out with quick updates. If the raid is announced this early, it is probably already quite close to release.

As soon as there are more and especially confirmed information, you will of course read them here with us.

It has been quite quiet around Palworld lately. After record player numbers in January and February, these numbers have recently dropped significantly. However, a lot of players continue to enjoy playing. One of them even crafted hundreds of legendary Palspheres to catch powerful Pals even faster.

LoL pro complains about buffs of ADC items, calls players “crybabies”

Recently, the jungler from Team Herectics, Marcin Jankos Jankowski, took a look at Patch 14.6 of League of Legends in a stream. He used some moments to rant about why ADC items are receiving buffs.

Who is Jankos?

  • He is a professional Polish LoL player and is known to be one of the best junglers in the European LoL scene.
  • Jankos played for G2 Esports in 2018, one of the most successful teams in Europe.
  • With G2, he managed to win several LEC titles. In 2019, the team reached the final of the LoL Worlds, the most important tournament in League of Legends.
  • In 2022, Jankos transitioned to the Spanish team Heretics along with Perkz and Wunder. However, Perkz has now been replaced by an experienced rookie from the Academy team.

What does the professional jungler say? Jankos is surprised by Riot’s decision to buff ADC items. According to Jankos, ADC players are the biggest crybabies who complain the loudest on Reddit about their role to receive buffs from Riot Games in the next patches.

Because they believe that ADCs are in a poor state. He emphasizes that he hasn’t seen a post on Reddit complaining about the jungle – even though the jungle is nerfed every season.

Here you can watch Jankos’ clip from his Twitch stream (timestamp 02:14):

What changes are being made to ADC items? With Patch 14.6, buffs to the following ADC items are planned so that ADCs can deal more damage:

  • Infinity Edge: The additional critical damage has been increased from 40 to 50 percent.
  • Mortal Reminder: Armor penetration increased from 30 to 35 percent.
  • Navori Quickblades: Attack damage increased from 60 to 65. You now need a BF Sword instead of a Pickaxe to build Quickblades.

The lead gameplay designer of LoL, Matt Leung-Harrison, has commented on the changes to ADC items, stating on X:

In the recent discussions, there has been a lot of talk about the state of ADCs. However, the strong position of supports prevents us from buffing them heavily and reverting to a bot meta. Items with crit are receiving some improvements to be more competitive compared to On-Hit and Lethality. We remain committed to enhancing satisfaction with the role in regular play without significantly increasing strength in the hands of coordinated teams.

Matt Leung-Harrison

The patch is expected to go live on Wednesday, March 20. In addition to buffs to ADC items, Smolder and Senna will be heavily nerfed, and support items will also receive several nerfs.

What do ADC mains say? The clip from Jankos is circulating on Reddit, including in the Subreddit of ADC mains. Players give various opinions on Jankos’ views.

Some criticize Jankos for viewing the ADC role from his own perspective as a professional and not fully considering the difficulties that ADCs face in the current meta. W1ndwardFormation writes: He clearly sees ADC from the perspective of a pro player, which is understandable, but he ignores the role as a whole.

There are also comments that highlight the frustration of ADC players regarding the role and the associated problems, such as the reliance on supports because many are weak in the early game and can easily be taken down by other champions in a single hit.

Other players argue that Jankos may not understand the challenges that ADCs face in solo queue, especially regarding the lack of influence and control they have in the early minutes of the game.

Pokémon GO: 1000 Stardust per catch – A Pokémon is really worth it right now

In Pokémon GO there is currently a Pokémon that brings you a lot of Stardust. Which one it is and where you can find it.

This weekend, there are 3 events in Pokémon GO waiting for you. In addition to the Community Day with Flamiau and the Raid Day with Proto-Kyogre, the Weather Week event is also taking place. This event runs until Monday, March 18, 2024, at 8:00 PM.

During this event, you will find certain Pokémon appearing more frequently, granting you an additional Stardust bonus when you catch them. One Pokémon that gives you particularly a lot of Stardust is Paras.

Trailer for the current season World Full of Wonders

Start video
Pokémon GO: This is what the new season ‘World full of Wonders’ looks like in the trailer

Weather Week field research and the wilderness bring you Paras

How much Stardust does Paras bring? If you catch a Paras by the end of the event, you will receive 1000 Stardust for the catch. This is because Paras belongs to the Pokémon that give you more Stardust when caught – specifically, 500 Stardust.

Through the Weather Week event, this Stardust is doubled, so a Paras currently gives you 1000 Stardust. Due to the spawn rate of Paras being significantly increased and it can currently appear in the wilderness in any weather, you have the opportunity to encounter many Paras specimens and collect a lot of Stardust.

Is there Paras also in the Weather Week field research? Yes, there is also a field research task during the event where you can encounter Paras. This is the task Catch 5 Pokémon with weather enhancement. As a reward for this task, you can encounter Paras alongside Driftlon, Eguana, or Amarino.

How can I get even more Stardust? If you use a Star Piece, you can increase the Stardust you receive by an additional 50%, thus obtaining 1500 Stardust per catch. Additionally, you can increase the number of Pokémon you encounter by using Incense and Lure Modules, allowing you to potentially encounter more Paras.

What do you think about the Stardust bonus you receive from Paras? Are you already actively farming Paras or are you planning to go on a big tour this weekend and catch it? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments. If you want to know which events are upcoming in March 2024 in Pokémon GO, you can find a list with us.

The current biggest enemies in Helldivers 2 are not insects or robots, but your own teammates

In Helldivers 2, players fight against rogue robots and ruthless insects to uphold peace and democracy. However, there are some among you who do not want to fight for the Over-Earth, but would rather annoy other players – and do so by foul means.

What are players complaining about? In Helldivers 2, players are currently actively fighting against the Terminites to activate the TKS (Terminite Control System). The battle is fierce, but the Helldivers are holding their own. One problem that players are currently venting about is their own teammates.

Many would assume that the stalkers are the worst enemies in the co-op shooter, but there are some Helldivers among you who are even worse. Intentionally shooting teammates, sabotaging missions, or suddenly being kicked from squads has become routine.

Many Helldivers find this very annoying as they just want to play and successfully protect democracy. The players have had enough.

Start video

Shot or kicked on the ship for nothing

What reasons do players provide? In a Reddit post by DoTortoisesHop, he shares that players have threatened to kick him from the squad if he continues to pursue objectives alone on the map. His behavior attracts more enemies, making the mission harder.

His post, with over 10,000 upvotes, has many comments detailing reasons why some players have already been kicked from squads. Reddit user Evil_Ermine lists several reasons why he has been kicked:

  • Being level 47
  • Picking up his own support weapon
  • Calling a mech and destroying a nest
  • Playing the mission
  • Not reviving players because he is currently being chased by three assailants

He speculates that some players are just strange. Others, however, have had much worse experiences with Helldivers. They not only kicked them but also sabotaged the entire squad.

James_Maleedy reports that he kicked a player from his squad because this player was constantly sabotaging him while he tried to call in and detonate a hellbomb. At first, he assumed that this player wanted to carry out the act of destruction himself with the bomb, but the troublemaker continued to sabotage him, calling him an “ape,” until he was kicked.

User Ubergoober166 shares that he had already taken a seat in the Pelican with his two teammates to complete the mission. However, the last teammate who still needed to take a seat shot everyone in the Pelican and then selfishly sat alone in the shuttle.

This way, the squad not only lost the bonuses upon mission completion but also the samples that the team had collected throughout the mission. It’s an annoying problem that can only be resolved by blocking such players afterward.

Have you experienced such situations as well, or could you enjoy the world of democracy without troublemakers and complete all your missions in your career without sabotage? Let us know in the comments!

Elden Ring: One of the most unfair mechanics in the game works differently than you thought

In Elden Ring there are many difficult enemies with unfair mechanics, but one in particular frustrates many players, and it works differently than you think.

Which mechanic is it? In Elden Ring, the bosses seem to have an advantage over you in certain aspects. One of these is that they know what you are doing faster than you do.

This becomes quite evident when drinking a healing potion. The healing potion isn’t even really in hand before the boss takes advantage of that moment of weakness and strikes.

Why do many players get frustrated by this? For many players, the so-called “Heal Punish” is annoying because it seems there is nothing you can do about it. Recently on Reddit, there was a new post where players expressed their frustration about the “Heal Punish”, but it also became clear that many do not understand how it works.

The post creator, IDKwhyimhereanymore1, writes: “It’s clear as day. She makes a thrust, stands around, but as soon as you drink, she thrusts again immediately. It has gotten to the point where she did it three times in a row, twice in the same fight.

And I tried to ‘get around’ it. A few seconds after the first wait and then drink, but she would just stand there and wait. And if you get surprised by the second one and keep trying to drink, she goes for the third time.”

However, the mechanic works differently than he believes, and you can make use of it.

Here you can see the first trailer for the Elden Ring DLC “Shadow of the Erdtree”.

Start video
Elden Ring shows first trailer for the new DLC ‘Shadow of the Erdtree’

The enemies don’t know, they just see

How does the mechanic work? The mechanic is less unfair than you think. The enemies don’t know when you press the button for the healing potion that you are drinking it, but only when your character starts the animation.

The artificial intelligence behind the bosses in Elden Ring is trained to attack at that moment, but only when it sees it based on the animation.

Admittedly, one of the first frames of the animation is enough to trigger the attack, but with that knowledge, you can also outsmart the bosses.

The mechanic explains itself easiest in a video, so you can watch the video from Zullie the Witch here:

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

How can you outsmart the bosses? Since the bosses only see what you do based on your animation, you can use that to your advantage. For example, you can roll and then immediately drink a healing potion. This gives you a moment longer before the opponent attacks you, or you may not get hit at all.

If the enemies used the so-called “Input-Reading”, you would be punished even before you start to heal.

The video also shows that some abilities cause no reaction from the bosses at all, which can also be exploited to defeat the bosses.

If you still can’t defeat the bosses despite the tricks, a legendary player can help you for a short time: Community legend no longer wants to defeat Malenia for you: ‘I’ve had enough of it’

One of the largest MMORPGs on Steam presents the class you should choose if you want to hit hard

Next week, a new class will be introduced in one of the largest MMORPGs on Steam. Just before that, there are now official details about it, as well as the opinion of a well-known streamer.

  • Lost Ark is an MMORPG that launched in South Korea in 2019 and has been distributed here by Amazon Games since 2022.
  • The gameplay is very similar to Diablo 3, but includes many essential MMORPG elements such as dungeons, raids, crafting, housing, and PvP.
  • In addition to its beautiful gameplay, it shines with a good story and is regularly spiced up by scripted scenes.

On March 13, 2024, there were now official details about a new class that will be playable starting March 20, 2024 (via playlostark.com). What class it is and whether it might be something for you will be revealed here.

Two months ago, a video showcased the new class in action:

Start video
The MMORPG presents its latest class and it can hit powerfully

What class is this? In Lost Ark, the advanced class “Breaker” is expected to be available next week. The video already made it clear that this is a class that can definitely pack a punch and enjoys facing its opponents head-on.

Who is the Breaker worth it for? On the official page, there were not only detailed information about the new class but also the opinion of Saintone, a well-known Lost Ark streamer. He mentions: “The Breaker is really a fun class. As someone who really likes monk archetypes in video games, this was exactly my thing.”

So if you like to choose the monk in other games, the Breaker could be just the right class for you in Lost Ark. He also describes the Breaker as “the class fantasy of a real brawler” and says that this class is just right if you want to simply approach an opponent and beat him up.

We have gathered some interesting facts that might convince you of the new class already. You can find detailed information on the website, as linked above.

Stamina, Shock, and Persistence Display

  • When using stamina skills, your stamina display decreases, but the shock display increases – and vice versa. Similar to the Scrapper class.
  • The persistence display fills up through successful hits with skills. When it’s full, you can activate the Fist King stance. This allows you to fight faster.

Fist King Stance

  • In Fist King stance, you get +10% attack speed and the cooldown of movement skills is reset.
  • The stance enhances the standard attack and increases the damage dealt by group members for 10 seconds by 6%.
  • Once the last standard attack is landed, the cooldown of stamina skills and shock skills is reduced by -5%.

Asura State

  • When using the engraving “Path of Asura,” you can activate this state with 100% Asura energy. You switch from the fighting spirit effect to the Sura destruction effect.
  • Here too, the damage by group members increases by 6% for 10 seconds.
  • Standard attacks are enhanced and the damage increases based on critical hit probability.
  • Sura destruction also increases skill damage, including awakening. Movement speed increases by 15%.

Lost Ark is not only one of the largest MMORPGs on Steam but currently also one of those with the most viewers on Twitch. To find out which other games are involved, check here: The 5 MMORPGs with the most viewers on Twitch in February 2024

There is a problem on Twitch that hardly anyone talks about – And Lieferando plays a crucial role in it

When it rings and the pizza delivery person is at the door, it’s a reason for joy for most people. But what if dozens of delivery drivers show up with food that you never ordered? Such food raids are a major problem on Twitch, yet hardly anyone talks about it.

What is this problem? The so-called swatting has become a well-known issue on Twitch: This involves police or fire department deployments triggered by false emergency calls. The term derives from the U.S. Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team.

When a Twitch streamer shares her trauma after such a swatting incident or when you read that a 28-year-old was shot during such an incident, the “little brother” of swatting initially appears relatively harmless: unwanted food orders delivered to streamers’ homes.

But even these food raids are a serious problem and have far-reaching consequences, much more than one might assume at first glance. The organization TeamKompass e. V. works with those affected. On their website, they also raise awareness about the issue.

The Twitch streamer Tanzverbot recently reported that he has experienced over 100 swatting incidents and food raids.

Mental Strain and Economic Damage

Why are food raids such a problem? For those affected, these supposed jokes often cause mental strain. They are made to feel: I know where you live. The Twitch streamer JadeyAnh became a victim of such a food raid in 2020 during her stream. She broke down in tears and had to abruptly end her stream (via Sportskeeda).

In this form, viewers rarely realize the problem: Twitch streamers usually avoid openly discussing the topic. The perpetrators should not be given attention, and potential imitators should not be encouraged.

The Twitch streamer Tanzverbot reported in November 2023 that he has experienced at least 50 swatting incidents. If he included food deliveries, he would be over 100 incidents. Once, his entire street was filled with delivery vans, the content creator reports.

In such cases, resolving the situation and getting rid of all suppliers can take up to an hour and a half. Communication with the drivers often becomes difficult as well.

But it’s not just the Twitch streamers who suffer: the affected restaurants also incur financial damage. After all, they invest time and ingredients in the orders and often end up covering the costs.

Using artificial intelligence, perpetrators can now generate hundreds or even thousands of fake orders. For operators, it is becoming increasingly difficult to cope with the flood of orders.

Why is nothing being done?

What role does Lieferando play? The organization TeamKompass e. V. is fighting against hate raids on Twitch. They raise awareness about the issues, advise those affected, and work with the police and other security authorities – because swatting and food raids are not minor offenses and can have serious consequences. Even the so-called doxing, which is the public dissemination of personal data with the intent to harm that person, is punishable by law.

In a report, TeamKompass states that the damage from fake orders through Lieferando is likely in the double-digit millions. The organization accuses the delivery service of not integrating sufficient security mechanisms into their ordering system.

Mass orders to a single address or spam orders to a restaurant should be flagged by the system. They demand that Lieferando take visible measures to curb food raids: for example, limiting how many email addresses can be registered per customer or address.

Affected individuals may have the option to fully block their address or reach agreements with restaurants that they will only be delivered under certain conditions, but it should not be the responsibility of the affected individuals to solve the problem.

We have requested a statement from Lieferando regarding the issue and will update the report as soon as we receive a response.

Unwanted deliveries affect not only Twitch streamers but can also cause problems for private individuals: “I shake when I see packages at my door” Woman receives more than 50 Amazon shipments that she did not order

For 27 years, Pokémon has been the largest anime franchise, but there was a time when Digimon was ahead

Pokémon and Digimon have been competitors since their release. Both franchises launched their own anime and various video games. However, it quickly became clear that the pocket monsters would prevail over the digital monsters. There was, however, a time when Digimon briefly overtook Pokémon.

When was that? According to a statistic from Nielsen Ratings, Digimon was more popular than Pokémon for about a month. In May 2000, Digimon was the most-watched series among children aged 2 to 11 years. Although the statistic only applies to the USA, it was likely similar in the rest of the world.

However, the success lasted only for a month, after which Pokémon effortlessly surpassed its competitor. Still, this short period is already a huge success for Digimon as it managed to compete against the gigantic successful anime.

If you want to immerse yourself in nostalgia, the upcoming movie about Digimon might be something for you:

Digimon Adventure 02 – The Beginning: German Anime Trailer for the Movie

Pokémon is the largest anime franchise in the world

Why is Pokémon actually more popular? There are several reasons why Pokémon makes its competition look pale:

  • Pokémon aired on television before the competition: The pocket monsters debuted in Japan in 1997, while Digimon only started in 1999.
  • Pokémon had a strong partner in Nintendo right from the start. To this day, video games for the Pokémon franchise are regularly released.
  • The anime has both an iconic main character and an iconic mascot. Ash and his Pikachu have been inseparable from the franchise for 25 years.
  • The release of Pokémon GO has made the universe even more accessible.

According to a study, Pokémon is even the most successful anime company ever. In January 2021, the franchise was valued at 100 billion dollars, making it the most valuable media franchise. This easily outperformed competitors like Hello Kitty or Star Wars (via The Hill) and makes even anime giants like Dragon Ball look pale (via CBR).

By comparison: In 2019, Digimon was estimated to be worth about 6 billion dollars (via Gayming).

How is Digimon doing today? The Digimon franchise is still releasing new movies, series, and video games today. For instance, on May 2nd and 5th, the German dubbed version of Digimon Adventure 02 – The Beginning will be shown. Here, we encounter familiar characters from the second season.

Currently, the anime series includes 9 seasons. The most recent was Digimon Ghost Game, which aired from 2021 to 2023, the first Digimon series in the horror genre. The video game front is similarly diverse: there are now visual novels like Digimon Survive and role-playing games such as Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth.

In fact, there is even an MMORPG about Digimon: Old Digimon MMORPG Returns 10 Years After Shutdown – Is It Worth It?

Twitch: Trymacs plays the new survival game on Steam, feels like in 7 vs. Wild

The Twitch streamer Trymacs is currently playing the survival game Sons of the Forest together with 7 other streamers. At the beginning, he is reminded of his experiences from 7 vs. Wild.

Which game is it about? Trymacs is currently playing the game Sons of the Forest with many other streamers, which recently released its full version. The title is a survival horror game developed by Endnight Games. It is a sequel to The Forest and continues the story of its predecessor.

In the title, the player survives in an open world where they must gather resources, build structures, and fight against hostile mutants to survive. The story revolves around the crash of a plane on a mysterious island and the player’s attempts to explore the island, find their missing family members, and survive.

Sons of the Forest: The first trailer for the survival game on Steam

Why does Trymacs feel reminded of 7 vs. Wild? Sons of the Forest is inspired by Canadian forests, which makes Trymacs feel directly reminded of his time in 7 vs. Wild. Especially since the game starts with helicopters, he mentions several times that it feels just like his suspension back then, of course without the crash and without the cannibals.

Rumathra, who completed the last season of 7 vs. Wild with him, also shares his thoughts on this.

Chaos is guaranteed – He eats two raw arms

Who is Trymacs playing Sons of the Forest with? In total, Trymacs is playing with 7 other streamers, including Rumathra, Repaz, Sebo, xHankyy, Nooreax, Chefstrobel, and NoahZett28. With such a large number of players, chaos is guaranteed, especially since they are also playing on the highest difficulty level.

Situations arise where one streamer accidentally eats raw arms of cannibals, another runs over opponents with the golf cart, or Trymacs accidentally spears himself and almost dies.

Reactions from the community: The community also seems to be excited about Sons of the Forest and the whole crew. Some members of his community write under his video on YouTube:

  • jensschaible2186 writes: Simply 7 vs. Wild gameplay.
  • orok4650 comments: How can Max always overlook all the monsters? HAHAHAHHAHA
  • therealoligaming notes: I find the squad so great Sembo a legend

This year, Trymacs is playing pretty much every good survival game that gets released. Recently, he has also focused on Enshrouded. Why he liked it and is getting a beating there, you can read here:

„I have goosebumps“: Star from John Wick introduces you to the upcoming RPG highlight 2024 in 7 minutes

The people in charge at Capcom have released a trailer for Dragon’s Dogma 2 that every RPG fan should watch for two reasons. First, a well-known actor with his wonderful narrator voice presents the role-playing game in detail. Second, there has not been a video that has displayed areas like the combat system as impressively.

Which actor presents Dragon’s Dogma 2? The British actor Ian McShane guides you through the world and features of the new Capcom role-playing game. You surely know him as the hotel manager and good friend of John Wick.

The award-winning actor has also appeared in films such as Pillars of the Earth, Hellboy – Call of Darkness, or Pirates of the Caribbean – On Stranger Tides. Many series are also part of his resume. Most recently, he had a guest appearance in One Piece.

Here you can see the trailer for one of the most versatile classes in the game – the Warlord:

Start video
Dragon’s Dogma 2 macht euch mit einer Klasse zum Meister aller Waffen

The Brit is also a prolific voice actor, lending his fantastic voice to animated characters – for example, in Coraline, Kung Fu Panda, Shrek the Third, or The Golden Compass.

What is the new trailer about? In over seven minutes, Ian McShane presents various areas of Dragon’s Dogma 2. You can expect background information about your Awakened character, who must confront a powerful dragon, and his minions.

Additionally, you will be introduced to the two nations of Vermund and Battahl and their respective characteristics. While the Awakened in Vermund is treated like a monarch crowned by fate, the tribes from Battahl view him as an outsider who brings great misfortune.

In the last third of the video, you will learn more about the monsters of Dragon’s Dogma 2, complemented by numerous gameplay scenes showcasing the role-playing game’s combat system. But it’s best to just check out YouTube for yourself (it can only be viewed there due to age restrictions).

What does the community say about the trailer? In the comments on YouTube, many players express their enthusiasm:

  • Aerhelios writes: “This is the best trailer for Dragon’s Dogma 2 so far.”
  • pablokusanagi5868 raves: “Ian has such a godlike voice, holy crap, that was amazing.”
  • Even theclapbackking8291 leaves praise: “The fights come across even better in this video than in the previous ones.”
  • “I had goosebumps during the introduction of the monsters. This is clearly the game I am most looking forward to,” summarizes YouTube user carllabissiere his viewing experience.

What is Dragon’s Dogma 2 again? This is the sequel to a role-playing game by Capcom from 2012, which will be released on March 22, 2024, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Features of the series include the flexible class system revolving around classes as well as the ability to embark on the adventure alongside several minions (even from other players).

However, there is no optional co-op mode. Dragon’s Dogma 2 is an action role-playing game that focuses entirely on the single-player experience. Consequently, the designers place great emphasis on the realism of the world, where travelers, merchants, and soldiers go about their daily routines, each having their own goals and motivations.

EA FC 24: Jude Bellingham gets his own celebration – Here’s how to perform it

EA Sports has not only adjusted the gameplay of FC 24 with the current update, but also made significant visual changes. For example, fans of Jude Bellingham can now celebrate a goal in the game just as the English super talent does on the real pitch. We will show you what you need to do to achieve this.

This is the situation:

  • EA Sports released a comprehensive patch with the spring update, which implements not only gameplay changes but also new animations, authentic faces, and other well-known celebrations in FC 24.
  • A small but fine highlight is the distinctive celebration gesture of the English super talent Jude Bellingham. After his summer transfer to Real Madrid, he has ascended to the ranks of absolute top stars and is making a name for himself this season with strong performances.
  • Since the update, fans of the 20-year-old can now celebrate a goal in the same way that the player from Madrid has done several times this season. With 16 goals in 22 matches, he is currently leading the scorer list in La Liga.

We will now reveal which key combination you can use to perform Bellingham’s “Signature Pose”.

Celebrate goals like Jude Bellingham in EA FC 24 – It’s that easy to do the new celebration

Here’s how to perform the celebration: When you score a goal with Jude Bellingham, you can enjoy the new celebration animation simply by pressing a single button, as there is a simple controller input for so-called “Signature Celebrations”.

On PlayStation, you just need to press the X button, while on Xbox, the A button triggers the correct animation. Quite simple, but there is also a small downside.

Start video

Since the pose with outstretched arms is characteristic of the young Englishman, the celebration can only be performed by him.

So, you need to either acquire a card of Bellingham in Ultimate Team or try the procedure in kick-off mode with Real Madrid or the English national team.

If you want to know what else has changed with the current update, then we have created a detailed overview for you here.

Helldivers 2: New weapon is so good that players lie to ensure it doesn’t get nerfed

In Helldivers 2, the new war bond “On a Knife Edge” was recently released. It seems to be really good, because one weapon instantly excited the fans.

What weapon are we talking about? The new “LAS-16 Sickle” energy weapon is currently particularly favored by players. The energy weapon has a large range and precision, and it has about 50-100 shots in the battery before it overheats. The only downside is that it needs to recharge for a short time before firing.

However, those who play smart will never need to reload, making the weapon very attractive to many players. Just one day after its release, players are raving about the weapon on Reddit. 

Here you can watch the trailer for the new war bond “On a Knife Edge”.

Start video

The new weapon is “Absolute Trash” *Wink Emoji*

What are players trying to do on Reddit? Players on Reddit are trying to prevent the developers from nerfing the weapon. There have been many discussions in the past about weapon nerfs in the game. While players would rather see all weapons being buffed a bit, the developers do not want to buff all weapons until everyone is happy.

Players are trying to take advantage of this by creating posts with titles saying the weapon is “Absolute Trash” before admitting in the actual post that they love the weapon.

An example of this is the Reddit post by the user RocketBilly13 titled “The new LAS-16 is possibly the worst gun ever released. Absolute trash.”

What is said in the post? In the post on Reddit, the poster describes their plan to mislead the developers and thus protect the weapon from nerfing. However, users still share their experiences with the weapon in the comments under the post.

It feels great, the sound combined with the slight recoil makes the rifle feel amazing. In terms of effectiveness, it is clearly, without question, the best laser weapon. […] I would say it is still one of the worst primary weapons because it suffers from the same problem as any laser weapon: the cooldown is so long compared to the damage dealt.”

Chocolate_Rabbit_ on Reddit

I love using it with the now usable laser cannon. It takes about the same time to overheat and cool down while the other one is holstered, so you can fairly effortlessly circle around your heat indicators and have no real downtime. […] It is obviously not a game-changer, but compared to the previous laser rifle, which was ridiculous, it’s definitely good.

Pedrosian96 on Reddit

What about the other weapons of the war bond? Players still find the stun hand grenade quite good. It can stun acid titans for 5 seconds, which is particularly useful on higher difficulty levels. 

Reddit user rez11 writes: “The stun hand grenade is a big deal for high difficulty levels, stunning titans for 5 seconds is pretty crazy, an indirect buff to the 500 kg [bomb]!”

Playing Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox? Here’s what you need to know

When does Final Fantasy XIV launch on Xbox consoles?

The MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV officially launches on Xbox consoles on March 21. Currently, the betas are still running, which you can still play.

By March 21, all content of the game, including the current expansion Endwalker, will be available for purchase.

von Irina Moritz

How can I play Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox?

To play the game, you need a Square Enix account. You must link this to your Xbox account.

Note that each Xbox account can only be linked to one Square Enix account. Accounts created for the Xbox beta cannot be retroactively linked to pre-existing Square Enix accounts.

Existing players can also link their accounts and thus seamlessly transfer their previous characters and progress to Xbox. New players starting with the Xbox release can also transfer their console progress to the PC or PlayStation version if needed — these must be purchased separately.

And of course, you must download, install, and start the game in your desired version.

Important: Accounts created for the beta should not be linked with existing accounts, as your progress cannot be carried over to the full version. If you do, you will not be able to carry over your PC/PS4/PS5 progress to the Xbox full version after the beta, as re-linking is not possible.

Especially important: The Steam version of the game stands alone. A save file from this cannot be shared with other versions of the game.

Does Final Fantasy XIV cost anything?

Yes, Final Fantasy XIV is a paid MMORPG. To play the full version, you must buy the Starter Edition of the game (up to level 70) and the latest expansion (up to level 90) for your desired platform.

Important: There is also a free version – more on that below.

Additionally, there are monthly subscription fees that you can pay on a monthly, quarterly, or even semiannual basis. The monthly costs are not per platform but apply to all versions of the game tied to your service account.

Here’s what the game currently costs:

Membership / Subscription PeriodPer Payment / Monthly Price
Starter / 30 Days10.99 € / 10.99 €
Standard / 30 Days12.99 € / 12.99 €
Standard / 90 Days35.97 € / 11.99 €
Standard / 180 Days65.94 € / 10.99 €
Subscription prices of Final Fantasy XIV as of 07.03.2024

When you purchase a game edition for the first time, you also receive 30 days of free playtime.

It should also be noted that Final Fantasy XIV is an entirely online game. While you can complete most content with the help of NPCs, you always need an active internet connection.

Is there a free version of Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox?

Yes, there is a free version of Final Fantasy XIV. The so-called Free Trial can be used once per Square Enix service account. If you have ever purchased/received a version of the game with your service account, you cannot access the Free Trial anymore.

The Free Trial includes most of the game’s content up to level 70. You can play the entire main story of the base game A Realm Reborn, as well as the expansions Heavensward and Stormblood.

You can play the Free Trial on Xbox consoles without a Game Pass subscription.

Do I need a Game Pass to play Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox?

The answer is also Yes. There are also different versions. Here are the editions that are exciting for consoles:

EditionContentCost per Month
CoreOnline console multiplayer
25 console games
additional offers and discounts
6.99 €
UltimateOnline console multiplayer
Many different games on PC, console, and cloud gaming
Games included in the subscription available at release
additional offers and discounts
EA Play membership
14.99 €
With these Xbox Game Pass editions, you can play Final Fantasy XIV.

Unfortunately, the pure PC version of the Game Pass subscription is not suitable for playing Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox, as it is only valid for PC.

Ultimate Game Pass holders will receive the Starter Edition of the game between March 21 and April 19, 2024. You keep it even after April 19 – even if you cancel your Ultimate subscription. However, to play, you will still need a Game Pass subscription after April 19. It doesn’t matter whether it is an Ultimate or Core subscription.

When Final Fantasy XIV finally launches on Xbox on March 21, the game will have reached nearly all current consoles. By the way, with Dawntrail, there will be a substantial graphics update that all platforms will benefit from.

Lastly, a new class and a completely new race have been announced: After 5 years, Final Fantasy 14 finally brings the race that players have been asking for: “They are perfect”

New anime throws 5 of Batman’s worst enemies into a foreign fantasy world, coming this year

A new anime featuring the Suicide Squad is set to be released this year. This time, the heroic villains embark on a very special mission in a completely foreign world.

What kind of anime is this? Suicide Squad ISEKAI is a new anime based on the well-known characters of the DC Universe. As the name suggests, this anime is expected to be an interesting crossover between comics and Isekai animes.

Fans can look forward to an exciting journey into a foreign world for the beloved villains. A new trailer also provides the first information about the story and release:

Start video
New Anime Sends the Suicide Squad on a Peace Mission

When is Suicide Squad ISEKAI supposed to be released? Along with the trailer, it has been announced that the anime is set to premiere in 2024. It is expected to air on Japanese television as early as July. However, it is still unclear when fans can expect a broadcast on Western television.

What is known about the story? The new trailer finally gives fans a glimpse into the story and the new mission that awaits the Suicide Squad.

The trailer first explains that Gotham City is connected to various worlds through portals. In this situation, Amanda Waller, head of A.R.G.U.S., has assembled a group of villains to send them through one of the portals into a foreign realm. This time, Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, King Shark, and Clayface will be sent on this peace mission as a squad.

In true villain fashion, the five naturally cause a ruckus as soon as they arrive in this foreign fantasy world. However, they are quickly captured by the royal soldiers and thrown into prison.

To make matters worse, they have only 72 hours until the bomb on their necks explodes. After some negotiations with Queen Aldora, the squad ultimately has no choice but to fight for peace in the war of this world.

Player says: He has been playing MMORPGs for 20 years and has seen it all, but one game has really caught him now

A MMORPG veteran of over 20 years writes on reddit about his current run in Final Fantasy XIV. Of all things, this game, which is now over 10 years old, managed to surprise him with a hidden dungeon – in the best sense of the word.

Who is the player? The player in question goes by the name soviman1 on reddit. According to him, he has been playing MMORPGs for over 20 years. He also writes: I had the (admittedly bitter) impression that I had seen everything. I am pleasantly surprised that I was wrong.

Currently, soviman1 is giving the Japanese game Final Fantasy XIV a second chance. He had tried the 1.0 version shortly after its release, which was live between 2010 and 2012. He is now experiencing the content since the relaunch in 2013 with Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn for the first time. One type of content has particularly surprised him.

Start video
Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail – The Final Trailer

What content has excited the player so much? The content that reddit user soviman1 was completely caught off guard by are the treasure maps in Final Fantasy XIV. In his post, he writes that he received the first ones during the leveling phase in A Realm Reborn. However, these small combat scenarios with minor rewards did not particularly stick in his memory.

Together with his wife, he ventured a few days later to a map with the safety note that the content is suitable for an 8-man group at level 60. With some effort, they defeated the spawning mobs. Here came the first surprise – A portal appeared and launched an entirely new dungeon.

soviman1 was not familiar with the content and was completely blown away by the mechanics: As a pair, they fought through several rooms with treasure chests in the center. Every time all opponents were defeated, they received valuable items and had to choose between two doors to progress. Once, they chose incorrectly and almost got thrown out.

In their first run, they made it to the fifth room before it was finally over. soviman1’s conclusion:

I felt like the guy from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, who is the first to try to find the right Grail and I had … made a poor choice. […] This game is really something special.

What are the treasure maps about? The dungeon that excited soviman1 belongs to the treasure map dungeons in Final Fantasy XIV. When you open them, you get a snippet of an area from the base game or one of the expansions. If you find the location, you can activate the map there. Enemies appropriate to the current level will then spawn. If you defeat them, you receive loot.

The maps at levels 60, 70, 80, and 90, on the other hand, are special: Here there is a chance to spawn a portal, behind which lies a kind of gambling dungeon. The higher the level of the map, the more colorful and complex the dungeons become. Later, you sometimes no longer choose doors, but literally spin the roulette or play cards to increase the loot.

A MMORPG veteran of over 20 years thought he had seen everything. But in Final Fantasy XIV, he was surprised once again.
The more rooms you complete in a treasure map dungeon, the more colorful and magnificent they become – and the better the loot!

The loot itself consists of mounts, companions, and resources that can only be obtained in these dungeons, which can be used to craft nice clothing items or furniture for player housing. All items from these dungeons are highly sought after among players and fetch a lot of in-game money.
