In Helldivers 2 there is a unit of robots that make many Helldivers wet the bed at night, and those are the Hulks. How you can destroy these heavy metal blocks and what their weaknesses are, you will find out here.
Update, February 6, 2026: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.
The Hulks are large armored robots equipped with heavy weapons. They either patrol the landscape or stand guard and protect a checkpoint. Either way, they are dangerous in Helldivers 2.
Therefore, we will name two weaknesses that will definitely make a Hulk explode.

Destroying Hulks in Helldivers 2 – How to find them
How to find a Hulk: The Hulks in Helldivers 2 can only be found in the red sectors of the robots. Use the world map and select an operation on a robot-infested planet.
Once you land, it’s best to seek out a patrol or a checkpoint. Hulks are considered “heavily armored enemies”, so you must have at least the difficulty level “Medium” activated to encounter them on missions.
This is what the Hulks look like in Helldivers 2:
Hulks are heavily armored enemies
How to destroy the Hulk: Once you’ve spotted a Hulk, you must weigh which weakness you want to target. There are two points:
The glowing red vent on the back
The glowing red face in the middle of the torso
If you are in a team, someone can draw the Hulk’s fire to make its back vulnerable. But be careful, as the Hulk can move and turn quickly. If it is equipped with rockets, find cover.
If you are going solo, aim for its face. A precise shot at the glowing red slit will make the structure collapse and be destroyed.
The weapons you should bring for the fight against Hulks include the Anti-Matter Rifle, One-Time Anti-Tank, the Recoil-less Rifle, the Railgun, the Automatic Cannon, and the Spear. In our tests, the Anti-Matter Rifle and the Recoil-less Rifle especially proved themselves.
Orbital cannons like the Laser or the Railgun can also bring the Hulk to its knees. If these are on cooldown, tactical equipment would be the more efficient choice of destruction.
That was the most important information about the Hulks. Which robots do you find the most annoying? Let us know in the comments!
In Pokémon GO the Proto-Pokémon are coming back soon. And especially with Kyogre, you should start preparing.
What’s going on in Pokémon GO? The return of the Proto-Pokémon has been announced. Both will have a Raid Day:
Proto-Kyogre will appear on March 17, 2024
Proto-Groudon returns on March 23
And those who participated in the debut of the two in the raids will remember: Especially Proto-Kyogre is a damned tough opponent that can take a lot of hits.
That’s why trainers advise: Prepare yourself now. Best with a strong counter that you can catch now.

Trainers advise: Get Mega-Sceptile
This is the monster: If you look at the list of the best counters against Proto-Kyogre, you will find Mega-Evolution of Sceptile at the top. This is the Mega form of the grass starter from the third generation of games.
If you equip Mega-Sceptile with Bullet Seed and Flora Statue, you have a very good moveset to hit Proto-Kyogre. Additionally, you boost the grass attacks of other Pokémon as long as Mega-Sceptile is active.
Mega-Sceptile is worth it against Proto-Kyogre
The good thing: As user Argarock in the Pokémon GO community TheSilphRoad notes on reddit, you can still catch this very monster in raids right now. Others agree that you should catch it now.
The overview of all events in March 2024 shows that you can still compete against Mega-Sceptile until March 14. Make the best of this time to secure a strong specimen and the necessary Mega Energy.
How do I defeat Mega-Sceptile? You should definitely rely on ice monsters, as Mega-Sceptile belongs to the dragon and plant types. Accordingly, monsters like Shadow Mamoswine, the rare Espurr, Shadow Snivy and other top counters in that direction are worthwhile.
HandOfBlood, acting as President Knabe, ensures new attractions every week within the framework of a new football league. Even in his absence during the last match day (Monday, 04.03.2024), the President did not miss the opportunity to provide his fans another highlight in his live stream on Twitch. It all started with a few harmless complaints from viewers directed at the founder of the Baller League.
What were the viewers complaining about? Before the start of the match Eintracht Spandau against Las Ligas Ladies, which HandOfBlood wanted to comment live with two other colleagues, some viewers brought up a concern. They complained that they had not yet received a Baller League jersey, even though they had ordered it a long time ago.
However, it was only after an alleged statement from the CEO and founder of the Baller League, Felix Starcko, which he supposedly made during a match day of the Baller League, that things really gained momentum. The head of the newly established football league allegedly claimed that if any problems arose, he would post his phone number online.
This supposed promise prompted HandOfBlood, after a brief discussion with his colleagues and viewers, to leak the alleged number of the CEO. You can revisit the moment of the leak in the following Twitch excerpt.

Founders’ number leaked? Fans escalate in live chat
How did the viewers react? Shortly after HandOfBlood visibly held a phone contact with the founder, a picture of Felix Starcko, and the corresponding number up to the camera, the chat went wild. Reactions ranged from disbelief to pure amusement, to warnings against doxing accusations in the live chat.
What is Doxing? “In doxing, criminals collect personal data that they publicly disclose in bulk and without the consent of the affected person. Doxing often aims to expose, threaten, or harm victims.” (via Polizei-Beratung.de)
The two present colleagues also immediately attempted to persuade HandOfBlood to rectify the potentially negative consequences of the leak. Meanwhile, the viewers urged them not to call the number shown under any circumstances.
The streamer himself brushed off the accusations with a tired smile. “Then don’t call. Yeah, and now we’ll also end this topic,” was all HandOfBlood had to say about the whole matter.
With that, he responded with an almost provocative calm to the erupted frenzy. But the topic was far from being settled yet.
X-Post also shows founder number: What’s really behind it?
That same evening, the X account of Eintracht Spandau posted a screenshot from the stream, where the founder contact was once again plainly presented. Beneath the image, various fan theories emerged about what would happen if one were to call the number.
The top comment asked the founder directly when they could expect the jerseys and made use of a famous movie quote from the Lord of the Rings trilogy:
But others also chimed in with equally creative yet not entirely serious contributions. The results of the phone calls varied from promised cars and trophies to wild-card tickets that qualified for participation in the Baller League.
And what happens now if you call the supposed founder?
After there was no consensus about the recipient or the content of the various calls, we made an attempt ourselves. And indeed, someone answers on the other end. Right from the greeting (“Hello, this is the founder.”), it quickly becomes clear who is behind the contact. HandOfBlood’s voice, alias President Knabe, is clearly recognizable, and within a few seconds, he completely solves the mystery.
What does President Knabe have to say? In a nearly unanimous message, he reassures the caller that during the delivery issues of the Baller-League jerseys, they could also easily shop at the Eintracht Spandau store and offers a discount code for that.
A German artist started an unusual project 14 years ago. He cemented a handful of USB sticks into walls. Today, there are over 400 such “Dead Drops” in Germany. Worldwide, 2,300 data carriers are hidden in walls, creating an offline network.
Cloud storage services are now widespread and are used daily by a large number of people to store or exchange files.
Even 14 years ago, a German artist from Berlin saw a trend that could displace the local storage of data on personal computers.
For this reason, he initiated the “Dead Drops” project, where USB sticks are hidden in public places and made accessible to everyone.

Cemented USB sticks in walls against data in the cloud
What kind of project is this? In 2010, the German artist Aram Bartholl started his unusual project “Dead Drops”. During a stay in New York, he hid 5 USB sticks in various public places.
Ideally, only the metallic USB connector protrudes, so that it is freely accessible to any user and can be easily connected to a laptop.
A Dead Drop is preferably used in espionage to pass or exchange items or secret information. In doing so, contact between two people is intentionally avoided to protect their identities and clients.
A notebook is connected to a Dead Drop (Image source: flickr.com)
Why did he do it? The idea of the Berlin media artist was, almost 14 years ago, a call against the storage of personal data in the cloud. In his opinion, the significance of online storage was growing at that time compared to local file storage.
Free your data for the public in cement! Install your own Dead Drop today! Free your data from the cloud, now!
Many people have followed his call over the years. In a database on the project page, over 400 and 2,300 data carriers worldwide are now listed in Germany, amounting to a total capacity of 72,734 GB.
According to the status of the listed USB sticks, many drives have since become defective or stolen, despite originally being secured with quick cement, as recommended in the guide for creating your own Dead Drop.
What danger lurks in a Dead Drop? As the data carriers are installed in public spaces, anyone can access them at any time. The USB sticks are intended to be used to make files of all kinds freely accessible and to exchange them.
However, it cannot be ruled out that alongside texts, songs, or self-created programs, malicious software could also be loaded onto the hidden drives. Therefore, if one wants to connect their system with a Dead Drop, some security aspects should be considered to avoid infection.
How can one protect themselves? A connected laptop should have an antivirus program that is updated daily. Additionally, it is advisable to keep the operating system up to date to close any security gaps.
Those who want to be completely safe should use a device that is not used for productive work and on which no important data is stored. A user with limited permissions can prevent malicious software from running secretly in the background.
The leaderboards have just arrived in Diablo 4 and an expert has developed a route during several runs live on Twitch that is supposed to be the most efficient. You can find out more about it here on MeinMMO.
Your goal is to collect as many points as possible within the 8-minute runs. The layout of the dungeon remains the same, as do the positions of the monsters, pillars, and chests. Therefore, your strategy is crucial to farming as many points as possible.
The Diablo expert wudijo is part of the team that creates build guides for maxroll.gg. On March 5, he developed a route for the Gauntlet dungeon live in his stream on Twitch after he undertook several runs with different classes.

Diablo 4: The developers talk about the leaderboards and how to climb up there
The left side of the dungeon is the best
What route does he recommend? In his Twitch stream, wudijo draws a route on the map of the dungeon that consists of several lines. The point where his planning begins can be found at 09:40:52 (Timestamp of the Twitch stream). The five lines represent several parts of the route, all ending with the activation of a pillar.
After starting the dungeon, you kill the first boss and then keep to the right, where you encounter elite enemies and monsters that drop chest keys. At the second fork, you open a large chest.
On the way back to the center of the dungeon, you fight against elite mobs and then head to the left side of the map, where more elite enemies and pillars await you that provide a point multiplier and spawn additional monsters.
The map shows the five parts of the route in the Gauntlet dungeon. The circles are the start, and the squares are the end of the parts. Source: wudijo, gyazo.com
You follow the outer edge of the left side to the first pillar, which concludes that part of the route. Afterwards, you return to the first boss and go through the left area again. You end up again at a pillar that grants you bonuses.
Parts three and four of the route also go through the left area. In the fifth part, you run again through the left area, then return to the first boss and head to the right area of the map, where you can open more chests.
“I believe I wasted a lot of time on the right side”
What do other players say? The expert Rob2628, known for his OP builds, recommends in his YouTube video to primarily stay on the left and only go to the right side of the dungeon at the end. He discusses this in his English video at minute 09:04.
He notes that he has wasted too much time on the right side and explains that he would make several runs on the left side and activate pillars alternately. Finally, he would open several chests on the right side with the keys:

Depending on how well you navigate through the dungeon, it is advisable to stay mainly on the left side because that’s where most elite mobs, bosses, and pillars are located in a tighter space. On d4builds.gg, you can see a detailed map of the dungeon with all the locations of bosses, chests, and keys.
In addition to the leaderboards and trials, patch 1.3.3 has also brought back six vampiric powers from Season 2 in Diablo 4. The impact they will have on the classes, individual builds, and strategies in the Gauntlet remains to be seen.
Many gamers are dissatisfied with the state of the AAA game industry or the inclusion of diverse characters in their favorite games. Online, it is often the developers who bear the brunt of the players’ anger. A Sony dev explained that they want to fulfill all the fans’ wishes.
Video game developers have faced increasing criticism and hatred online in recent years. The anonymity of social networks seems to prompt many users to show their worst sides:
Ramone Russell, who works as a Communication Strategist for Sony’s baseball game series MLB: The Show, spoke behind the scenes of the DICE Awards with Game File and explained: developers are also just humans.
Many gamers are dissatisfied with the state of some AAA games. Skull and Bones is struggling with criticism, while the developers of Baldur’s Gate 3 are being showered with praise.

Middle finger to the AAA industry: Baldur’s Gate 3 was no coincidence
“If we’re not doing something, we haven’t found the right way to do it”
What does the Sony dev say? In a brief conversation, Russell explained that no one in the gaming industry comes to work with the intention of making people angry. On the contrary: “We want to give the fans everything, but we can’t,” Russell said.
Everything is difficult. And if we haven’t done something, it’s because we haven’t yet figured out the right way to do it.
The developer further explains that deadlines must be met and resources are limited. Sometimes, this leads to missing goals, but this never happens out of a lack of effort, Russell explains. “We are humans, just like everyone else,” the developer said.
However, criticism can also have a positive effect – as long as it is expressed constructively and does not turn into insults or even threats. For example, the developers of the new survival game Nightingale have shown that they are listening to their players and fulfilled their biggest wish:
The new update for Helldivers 2 is live. Alongside many bug fixes, it also addresses the best weapons. A new feature makes the Helldivers’ visits to hostile planets even more unpleasant.
Why were the weapons nerfed? Today saw a new update for Helldivers 2 for Steam and PS5. On PC, you’ll need to update 1.6 gigabytes, while on the PS5 it’s 2.9 gigabytes.
The developers released a post alongside the regular patch notes explaining why the best weapons are now being nerfed. They stated that they want all weapons in the game to be fun to use.
However, when there are weapons that are particularly strong, many players feel compelled to use the “good” weapons instead of playing what they want. That’s why the weapons that are in the “meta” are being nerfed now.
Here you can watch the trailer for Helldivers 2, where the mechs were also announced.

The Meta Build is No Longer Meta
Which weapons are being nerfed? Specifically, the SG-225 Breaker loses 3 shots in the magazine, now having 13 instead of 16. Moreover, its recoil has almost doubled from 30 to 55.
The RS-422 Railgun has also been nerfed. It now has less armor penetration in safe mode, meaning when the weapon cannot explode. Additionally, the railgun now does less damage against durable enemy body parts. This makes the weapon less effective against Strikers and Acid Titans.
The shield generator backpack has also received a nerf. The delay before recharging is now supposed to be longer.
As a result, the best loadout has been significantly nerfed. Previously, it combined the defensive properties of the shield generator backpack with the SG-225 Breaker, which could quickly thin out entire hordes of enemies, as well as the railgun against strong and armored foes.
Other weapons are getting stronger: The SG-8 Punisher has been buffed; it can now carry a total of 60 shots, causes more staggering effects, and deals 5 more damage per shot.
However, the most significant buff has likely gone to the FLAM-40 flamethrower, which now inflicts 50 % more damage per second, making it easier for you to roast bugs.
You can find the complete English patch notes with all changes and bug fixes here:
The patch notes for patch 01.000.100
Major Updates Planetary Hazards active
There are now additional weather events on many planets that randomly appear during missions, from fire tornadoes to meteor showers and more.
Balancing
Eradicate Missions
Eradicate missions now require more kills and enemies spawn more often. The time to complete the mission was previously shorter than intended and should now take twice as long to complete.
Primary, Secondary, and Support Weapons
SG-225 Breaker – Decreased magazine capacity from 16 to 13, increased recoil from 30 to 55
SG-8 Punisher – Increased total ammo capacity from 40 to 60, increased stagger force, increased damage from 40 to 45 per bullet
SG-225SP Breaker Spray & Pray – Increased armor penetration, increased fire rate from 300 to 330, increased pellets from 12 to 16 per shot, decreased mag size from 32 to 26
RS-422 Railgun – Decreased armor penetration in Safe Mode, decreased damage against durable enemy parts
FLAM-40 Flamethrower – Increased damage per second by 50%
What are these weather events? The new patch for Helldivers 2 introduced a new feature designed to make life even harder for players. Random environmental events can now occur on the planets, intended to ruin your day.
The developers are talking about fire tornadoes, meteor showers, and other deadly events that await you. If you’ve been frustrated by poor visibility during a storm so far, you should be careful.
The events are not meant to be visible before the start of a mission and are supposed to occur only once you are already on the planet. So, it might be that you need to seek shelter somewhere or that the launch of the rocket has to be interrupted because a tornado passes by.
On March 5th, the leaderboards in Diablo 4 started, which are associated with a trial in a dungeon. How this “Gauntlet” works and how you secure a place on the leaderboard, you will learn here on MeinMMO.
The monsters in the dungeon are above level 123, so it is beneficial if you are at level 100 yourself. We will explain below what you need to do to participate in the “Gauntlet” and how to make it onto the leaderboard.
How do I participate in the Gauntlet? You can participate in the trial, the Gauntlet, once you have unlocked World Level 4. When you start the game after the update, you will receive the quest “Unlocking the Horn of Trials.”
The entrance to the dungeon is located in the harbor of Gea Kul in Kehjistan. Once there, click on the Horn of Trials to interact with it. A window will open to the rankings, where you can start the Gauntlet directly. The quest is completed.
Additionally, you can directly access the Gauntlet when you open the leaderboard and click on “Start”. You do not have to be in Gea Kul for this.
By clicking on the horn, the overview opens. Once you click “Start”, you teleport into the Gauntlet dungeon.
The right strategy is key
How do I get on the leaderboard? In the dungeon, your strategy is crucial because: You have only 8 minutes to collect points. There are no loot drops, so you can fully focus on slaying monsters. You collect points by killing monsters and opening chests for which you need keys.
In doing so, you collect so-called “Proofs of Power” that resemble the souls of enemies in Diablo 4. The more proofs you have at the end, the more points you have. And those who have the most points will top the leaderboards. You also increase your points by activating the pillars in the dungeon that grant you bonuses or respawn the monsters.
You will obtain Proofs of Power through:
Killing monsters
Opening chests
the keys for the chests drop from monsters (always the same)
Pillars of Glory that serve as point multipliers for proofs
especially effective when the monster density is very high
Pillars of the Trial that respawn the monsters
also respawns elite opponents and bosses
Since the pillars also respawn the bosses and bosses, after their death, spawn normal shrines again, you can repeatedly traverse specific routes in the dungeon and thus farm points.
An expert found the best route shortly after the leaderboards were released:
What matters? In the Gauntlet, it is not about reaching the end of the dungeon as quickly as possible. What matters most here is the decisions you make and how you navigate within the dungeon. You need to consider which path you take, which pillars you activate and when, and how you move through the dungeon.
It makes the most sense to learn the map, develop a strategy, and continuously expand it. If you want to plan your run, you can find a map of the dungeon, including all monster, chest, pillar, and key locations, on d4builds.gg.
In summary, it’s about efficiency, speed, and strategy. You have a week for each trial to adjust your strategy and builds to get the best out of it before a new Gauntlet begins. You can repeat the dungeon as often as you like.
The class balance here is largely irrelevant because you only compete against other players of the same class or in teams. Which builds will be at the top in the respective week remains to be seen. You can find the best builds in our Tier List for Diablo 4 Season 3.
What if my character dies? If you die in the Gauntlet dungeon, you can re-enter, but you lose a third of your points each time. You or your team members can collect lost Proofs of Power at the location of the last death when you return to the dungeon. Deaths of HC characters are permanent.

Diablo 4: The developers talk about the leaderboards and how to climb up there
The layout of the weekly dungeon is always the same
What can I expect in the dungeon? The dungeon includes different types of monsters, all at level 123+. The Gauntlet is not structured like other dungeons. There are no loot; the dungeon bosses await you in several locations that are always the same, and your only quest is to gather as many points as possible.
The trial is associated with a fixed dungeon that changes weekly. This means that the dungeon always has the same layout. The monsters spawn at the same spots, and the keys for the chests drop at the same locations.
In the dungeon, there are pillars that serve as multipliers for the proofs or spawn monsters. There are also normal shrines that provide you with various buffs, such as the artillery shout, with which you attack faster and summon arrows. The shrines appear after you have killed a boss.
Some of the bosses will be familiar to you from other dungeons, such as the Blood Bishop or the Grave Lord.
Information about the leaderboards and rewards
Where can I find the leaderboard? You can find all leaderboards in the overview, where you can also view your Codex of Power and all challenges. On PC, you open the overview with the Y key. There you get an insight into your progress and can also view all the leaderboards.
In the leaderboards, you will find the top 1,000 players sorted by solo class and team play. In the group lists, all names of a group appear in one line. Additionally, you can filter by platform (All, PC), mode (Normal, Hardcore), and players (All, Friends, Clan).
You can view all solo and group leaderboards and filter them.
What rewards do I get? With your score, your rank in the trials increases, and your final score earns you seals. The score required to receive seals varies from week to week and depends on the setup of the Gauntlet and the class you play.
You earn a small chest after each run, regardless of whether you received a seal. And after the Gauntlet resets, you will receive so-called “Trial Chests.” The higher your score, the better loot the chest contains.
A seal representing your rank
A “small chest” after each run
A Trial Chest, depending on the seals
guaranteed to contain a legendary item
The mount trophy “Emblem of the Conqueror” for the top 100 on any leaderboard
Everlasting glory in the hall of ancestors for the top 10 on any leaderboard
When does the dungeon change? The challenges end every week on Tuesday at 5 PM CET, before the next challenge, which differs from the previous one, starts at 7:15 PM CET. So you always have a week to earn a place on the leaderboards.
The leaderboards remain throughout the seasons, and the seasonal mechanics are to be integrated each time. In Season 3, your mechanical Seneschal will accompany you into the dungeon, so you should also incorporate him into your strategy. In our list, we show you the best combinations for leading and tuning stones for the Seneschal.

Many animes and cartoons are currently getting a remake. The mangaka of one of the “Big Three” animes, that is the 3 most popular animes of the 2000s, also wishes for a remake of his series.
Which anime is it about? We’re talking about Bleach. The anime is ranked among One Piece and Naruto as part of the “Big Three” due to its length and popularity. The manga ran from 2001 to 2016, and the anime of the same name has 366 episodes across 16 seasons.
However, the last arc of the manga was never adapted into the anime. Therefore, the sequel Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War followed, which addresses this. The anime is still airing and can be followed on Disney+.
Bleach already has a live-action movie that was released in 2018. However, mangaka Tite Kubo still wishes for a remake of the anime. Presumably, he means a remake similar to that of One Piece, which is intended to be a more concise version of the lengthy anime.
You can watch the trailer for the current anime of Bleach here:

Bleach: The Trailer for Thousand-Year Blood War
Bleach has too many fillers – Mangaka wishes for a remake
Where does this idea come from? Tite Kubo wrote on his blog that he wishes for a remake to be initiated. He would like the remake to faithfully follow the original work (via jeuxvideo.com).
Bleach doesn’t have 366 episodes for nothing: The anime contains many filler episodes that have nothing to do with the original story from the manga. Therefore, the mangaka wishes for a series that retells only the story that he envisioned.
This would streamline the anime significantly and make it more attractive for newcomers. Unfortunately, there is currently no confirmation that such a remake is in the works. Presumably, Tite Kubo still needs to find a production company that can make his wish come true.
So it’s no wonder that the creator of Bleach wishes for his work to also receive a remake. However, it will take several years before such a series could be realized.
By the way, Bleach is among the anime series we would recommend if you are a fan of Dragon Ball: 5 Anime Series Like Dragon Ball

In Helldivers 2, a man manages the galactic campaign. However, after the game now has many more players than expected, the almighty Joel is getting help to take care of you even better.
We updated the article on 06.03.2024 at 1:00 PM and changed the title and the featured image.
Who is the almighty developer? The developer’s name is Joel, and he is the Game Master who manages the galactic campaign in Helldivers 2. The galactic campaign is the meta-game of the title, where players must defend the planets of the galaxy from Terminites and robots.
Joel manages the opposing side and has some tricks up his sleeve. Like a Game Master in a tabletop role-playing game, Joel plays with the players rather than directly against you. Still, he is responsible for adjusting the difficulty level. So he is both your friend and your enemy and opponent.
The high expectations of the players have resulted in Joel having to work a lot lately to meet them.
Here you can watch the trailer for Helldivers 2, which also announced the mechs.

Helldivers 2 Sign up for Duty trailer shows new mechs in the game
Joel now has a whole team to take care of you
Why did Joel need a team? The success of Helldivers 2 means much more work for the developers. Even for the master of the galactic campaign, the player numbers are a significant challenge.
To keep the galactic campaign exciting, regular adjustments must be made. A few bugs here, a few robots there, and a little less pressure on the planets because players are now going to sleep – but it’s not that simple.
The campaign is the heart of the game and drives the player base, so the expectations of the players must be met.
That is why we had to expand the Game Master (GM) team. He is just one guy, and he simply hasn’t been sleeping. I remember on launch weekend, he messaged me at 4 AM because we were the only ones still awake.
What does Joel’s team look like now? While Joel will likely continue to be the almighty Game Master, Community Manager Baskinator reveals that Joel has a team and also many advisors. “He doesn’t want to work in a vacuum,” Baskinator said literally.
With the reinforcement of the team, the tug-of-war over the control of the galaxy might now become even more difficult for humanity because adjustments to the players’ strategies can be made even more quickly. There probably won’t be quick progress by shifting focus to another planet while the Game Master is not paying attention in the future.
On the long list of tasks is likely also to explain more to the players about the role of the Game Master and to give him some kind of blog of his own so he can communicate with the players. Currently, however, this has not occurred due to the good start of the game and time constraints. You can learn more about Joel’s responsibilities here.

The last two are particularly interesting. Normally, you don’t get a Glurak that easily, and if you use a Sananabeere while catching, you can earn a whole 20 candies for that Pokémon. An extremely easy way to collect many candies and possibly get strong Glurak specimens. Additionally, you have the chance to obtain it as Shiny if you’re lucky.
The Captain Pikachu is also interesting, as you usually have to search for it in the wild or challenge it in raids. Here you have a good opportunity to catch the event Pokémon. Moreover, some trainers currently suspect that there is a Shiny boost for the Captain Pikachu (via reddit), as many trainers report shiny encounters – but this has not yet been confirmed.
How do you take a snapshot? To take a snapshot, you simply need to click on your buddy Pokémon. There, click on “Play” and then on the camera icon at the bottom. This way, you take a photo of your buddy and can receive the snapshot surprise.
If you then exit the screen, you will find the corresponding spawns directly in your vicinity.
The Horizonte event runs until March 11, 2024, so you still have a few days to secure your snapshot encounters. With 5 snapshots a day, you can gather quite a few monsters. And if you want to know what else is happening in the game: Here you will find all events in Pokémon GO in March 2024.

The team at MeinMMO has grown! Karsten Scholz will be taking on the topic of MMORPGs in the future. Why the experienced editor is passionate about this task and what his experiences in the genre are, he can best tell you himself.
Ah, the genre of online role-playing games. There’s no other topic I write and talk about so eagerly and extensively, and I’ve been doing so for… oh dear, I’m old… 15 years. First as an intern at buffed. Then as a freelance writer for buffed, Gamersglobal, GameStar, and also the WoW magazines MMO Pro and PC Games MMORE (as well as various special editions). And in the past nine years, I’ve had the privilege of writing for buffed and PC Games MMORE in a full-time position, recording podcasts, and producing videos.
The MMORPG topic has been both a gateway into the industry and a guarantee for regular assignments, and ultimately led to my permanent position or rather my new task at MeinMMO. And it fits like the fist of my undead rogue to the eye of an Alliance dwarf.
Because even though I’ve been gaming for almost four decades now (starting on the NES and C64; enjoying almost all genres), my most memorable, magical, captivating, and emotional moments are closely tied to online role-playing games.
From here, Karsten, Mini-Lich King, and Mehrunes Dagon write their texts for MeinMMO.
From Azeroth to Tamriel and beyond
My first great love was World of Warcraft, which I fell in love with sometime in spring 2005 – and which I still play regularly today. Currently, I’m enjoying the Classic season of discoveries rather than Dragonflight. My total playtime is probably knocking on the 3-year mark across all characters (only Horde, of course!) and versions. I’ve covered the most miles with my bald rogue, Creep.
But Tamriel also feels like a piece of home. I’ve been following The Elder Scrolls Online since the beta. Specifically, I play the story content from the chapters year after year with great joy – always with my nightblade, which saw the light of the fantasy world on launch day.
This Khajiit nightblade has been accompanying Karsten since the launch of Elder Scrolls Online.
I missed the beta of Final Fantasy 14, however. But I was able to take a brief look at the flawed original version from 2010. It really got going with the launch of A Realm Reborn, and of course it had to be a quick melee character again. I still prefer to play the monk to this day. Due to the packed gaming year of 2023, I’m a bit behind on the current Endwalker expansion, but I definitely want to fill that gap before the launch of Dawntrail in the summer.
Apart from the big three, over the past 19 years, I’ve managed to put at least a double-digit number of hours into almost every important online role-playing game, often considerably longer. For example, I have editorially covered Guild Wars 2 (the best mounts in the genre!) for several years, written tests and guides for titles like Star Wars: The Old Republic, Black Desert, Blade & Soul, Lost Ark, and Tera, and enjoyed the fresh quests from The Secret World as well as the fantastic atmosphere in Lord of the Rings Online.
Karsten knows MMORPGs like the back of his hand. And what else do you need to know? Well, here are a few details for a bit more context:
Best achievement: Proud dad of two boys (2 and 8 years old).
Favorite games (apart from MMORPGs): Portal, The Witcher 3, Warcraft 3
Currently playing: Against the Storm, Baldur’s Gate 3, The Thaumaturge, Persona 3 Reload
Favorite movies: “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, Matrix, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Dark Knight
Favorite series: Babylon 5, Star Trek: TNG, Game of Thrones, Firefly
Theme park or sandbox: Theme park
PvE or PvP: PvE
Free2Play or Buy2Play: Buy2Play (preferably with a subscription and no shop or other microtransactions)
Star Trek or Star Wars: Both!
Current platforms: PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch
Biggest MMORPG hope: Ashes of Creation

Here’s to a great time together!
All my experiences and preferences described above will now flow into my work at MeinMMO, to support new online role-playing games during their launch and beyond, share memorable anecdotes with you, discuss the genre in general, or keep you updated on upcoming projects.
And just as you will get to know me through my articles, I would like to get to know you too. Please feel free to give me feedback in the comment section below my texts and share your opinions, thoughts, and wishes there.
Here’s to a great time together!

A new week has begun in Destiny 2 and with it new content that players can explore after a long dry spell. The positive aspect is that there is indeed something worth grinding for: the hoverboard.
However, apart from cosmetic variations, there were no alternative means of transportation they could call their own. With the hoverboard, that is supposed to change. Players will have the chance to earn a hoverboard during the event, which will not only make them look cooler but also allow them to perform stunts and use additional features that a Sparrow does not offer.

Destiny 2: Season of the Wish – Guardian Games All-Stars Trailer
How do I obtain the new vehicle? To unlock the hoverboard, you first need to complete the quest “Class Primus” with Eva Levante at the Tower. After that, she will grant you a new quest where you can unlock an exotic version of the “Allstar Vector.” In this quest, you only have to complete one of three tasks.
During the event, you will receive a normal version of the “Allstar Vector,” but this will expire once the event is over. If you want a permanent hoverboard, you must complete the quest or purchase an exotic bundle in the Eververse for 2500 Silver.
The hoverboard is actually well-received in the community, and fans are taking advantage of their new vehicle to gain advantages in dungeons.
Esoterickk is utilizing the new grinding function. He creates a trail with his board that he can balance on, crossing the deep abysses of the dimension piece by piece.
From time to time, he has to call a new board to grind again, but ultimately he reaches the goal to confront the final boss of the dungeon. So, not only can you perform cool stunts, but you can also skip entire sections of dungeons if they allow it.
What are players saying about the new “Sparrow”? Reddit user RetroRampage1997 already knows that the hoverboards are the better Sparrows in the game. According to him, they offer many more advantages and are also better suited for flying. The following comments can be heard in the thread:
Dioroxic: “Dude, I just played Prophecy with the hoverboard, and do you know that long Sparrow section with the wavy carpet bridges? Just grind over it.”
Karglenoofus: “I’ll be mad if they remove or nerf these things. It’s the most fun I’ve had since crafting.”
What do you think about the hoverboards? Do you find them cool, and do you use them instead of your Sparrow or do you prefer to forgo them? Let us know in the comments!

The team from WoW Classic has surprisingly released an XP buff for the Season of Discovery, promising double experience until level 39. This relief is being hotly debated in the forums. Not all players are thrilled.
What kind of buff is this? The effect Joy of Discovery is now available on the seasonal servers of WoW Classic and grants all characters up to level 39 a whopping 100 percent more experience points from all sources.
A comparable relief was already available last month, specifically since the launch of the second content phase on February 8, 2024. The goal of the original XP buff: to bring latecomers and side characters swiftly into the current level range of levels 25 to 40.
The extended version of Joy of Discovery now allows you to quickly advance almost to the current maximum level of 40. The developers do not mention a time limit for the effect. However, those who wish can deactivate (or reactivate) the buff at any innkeeper.
How is the community reacting? After Blizzard’s announcement, more than 90 comments quickly piled up in the official WoW forum. Some players are happy that they can now reach their goals more quickly with their side characters.
Other players are surprised by the early timing. Phase 2 has been out for barely a month, they say. The first phase lasted almost ten weeks. Why devalue the leveling phase that has always played a comparatively essential role in WoW Classic so soon?

WoW Classic: The Devs on the Season of Discovery in Interview
Other WoW fans argue that in practice, many players spend most of their time grinding dungeons to collect experience efficiently. Additionally, the phase from 25 to 40 can feel particularly sluggish, especially because travel times increase but players do not yet have a mount (which only comes at level 40).
What do you think? Are you excited about the experience point buff on the seasonal servers, or could Blizzard have waited a bit longer to implement it? By the way, there are only a few days left in WoW Classic to acquire winter squids (and become rich easily).

PS5 or gaming PC, which is better? Linus Sebastian from Linus Tech Tips wanted to test which hardware performs better for the money. The result is not as clear-cut as expected in the end.
Sony’s PS5 was released on November 19, 2020, and many years have passed since then. Linus explained that he wanted to build a gaming PC that would cost no more than the PS5 but would be significantly better. He confidently titled his video “It’s Time to Destroy the Playstation 5.” Because the hardware has evolved, and it hasn’t remained at the level of the PS5.
For this reason, he wants to assemble a gaming PC that should not cost more than a PS5. He wants to find out where you ultimately get more for your money.
What hardware is in the gaming PC? Linus and his team opted for the following hardware:
Processor: Ryzen 5 5600(X)
Mainboard: Asrock B450 Pro4
SSD: Samsung 970 Plus EVO 1 TB
Case: CM Storm Trooper
Power Supply: Seasonic X-650 Gold
Graphics Card: Intel Arc A770 16 GB
RAM: G.Skil Trident Z 16 GB
AMD’s Ryzen 5 5600X is a mid-range processor from the last AM4 generation and still relies on the “Zen 3” architecture. For the graphics card, Linus chose the Intel Arc A770 16 GB. This graphics card can compete with graphics cards like the RTX 4060 and RX 7600. Intel’s graphics cards still struggle with driver and software issues. Alternatives for the Intel GPU would have been the RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6700 XT, but they were “too boring” for Linus.
The best graphics cards that you can currently buy and what you need to know about them can be found in the following article on MeinMMO:
How much did the PC cost? The team invested 475 US dollars (about 436 euros). The team bought many components used to save money and stay under the price limit of the PS5. For comparison: Currently, you pay 549 euros or 449 euros (Digital Edition) for a PS5.

How does the test run? At the beginning, the gaming PC performs significantly worse than the PS5. In Doom: Eternal, it starts at only 20 to 30 FPS. Only when Linus adjusts settings in the BIOS and activates certain features does the PC perform as well as the PS5.
From a performance perspective, almost all games run equally well or sometimes slightly better on the gaming PC than on the console. In almost all games, both systems reach the same FPS count at 4K resolution. Depending on the game title, the image quality may look slightly better on the PC at times or on the console, as both systems scale the image to 4K and do not work with an actual native resolution.
A strong advantage for the PS5 is HDR: While HDR runs “out of the box” on the PS5, you first have to activate HDR on a PC if the GPU supports it. In this case, the Intel Arc 770 does not support it. “Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart” constantly crashes on the PC, which according to Linus might also be due to the Intel GPU.
His colleague David, who plays on the PS5 next to him while Linus struggles with the PC, adds that the console is significantly easier and more user-friendly to operate than the computer. This is also noticeable in features like HDR.
In the end, Linus explains: You can indeed build a PC that can compete with the PS5, “if you are creative enough.” Nonetheless, the PS5 clearly has strengths where the PC has no chance yet. Aside from the hardware choices you ultimately make.
Full credit to Sony and Microsoft for the fact that this generation of consoles, I would say, offers better value than a PC and that has lasted far longer than I expected. And it could take another year or even two before we can outdo them with a brand new machine, but I think it can be done today if you are willing to get a bit creative.
Linus Sebastian
The issue of “compatibility” is another point that Linus raises. Depending on what hardware you build, there can be problems or even crashes. For example, the Intel Arc A770 is only partially compatible with Ratchet and Clank and HDR is not supported at all. These are all issues that should not exist on the PS5 or an Xbox. With a graphics card from AMD or Nvidia, these problems might not have occurred.
What are the reactions? Under the video and also on reddit, some users explain that there is another point against Linus’s PC: None of the components have any warranty or manufacturer support because all parts were bought used. Some add that “the convenience of playing on current consoles [is] a better option for most people than a 500 dollar PC. It outweighs the time, effort, and risk needed to build a PC with used parts for $500.”
However, others reply that the gaming PC is much more flexible than a PS5: you can still upgrade the PC later and thus have better and faster hardware in the long run than the PS5 could ever offer. Moreover, the gaming PC offers features that you cannot get on the PS5.
More about gaming: Many gamers are considering whether to buy a gaming PC or a console instead. But what do PS5 and Xbox do better than a proper gaming PC? MeinMMO highlights the advantages of consoles:
The last wish of a palliative care patient was to see Dune: Part Two. When Denis Villeneuve found out, he provided him with a special movie experience.
A man in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec was in a palliative care center. As his final wish, the film fan expressed that he wanted to see Dune: Part Two before he died.
However, the official film premiere was not until the end of February, and since it was unknown how much time the patient had left, quick action was needed.
He shared his wish with Josée Gagnon, who took care of him and supported patients in the dying process. She then posted a call on Facebook announcing the patient’s last wish.
In fact, someone who could help responded. Sébastien Pilote, a Canadian director, knew the Dune director and facilitated the contact.

“He is at the end of his life, there is no way to move him”
Denis Villeneuve then invited the patient to Los Angeles, but there was a problem, as Gagnon told Radio Canada in an interview:
Denis Villeneuve and his wife Tanya, who is a producer, said: ‘OK, we could bring him to Los Angeles.’ I said: ‘You don’t understand, he is at the end of his life, there is no way to move him. We don’t even know if he will still be here next week.’
Another solution had to be found. So the director had an idea: Since the patient was unable to attend the premiere in Los Angeles, he would simply bring the premiere to the patient in Quebec.
So his assistant set off for Quebec and brought Villeneuve’s laptop with him.
“They locked themselves in a room at the Maison de soins palliatifs [the palliative center]… and this man managed to watch the film alone,” Gagnon recounted.
All involved in the action had to sign a non-disclosure agreement that they would not disclose anything in advance about the film.
“It’s for the man who said before he died, I want to see this film”
The special film premiere of Dune Part: Two took place more than a month ago, in January 2024.
The patient fell asleep towards the end of the film but was able to see a large part of Dune 2. He has since passed away.
As Gagnon recounted, some involved in the action saw it as a defeat because the man was never able to see the end of the film.
However, she saw it differently: “You don’t understand, it’s extraordinary what this man went through. The end of a film, when you are dying, means nothing… it was all there for him.”
According to her statement, Villeneuve and Lapointe said: “It’s for him, it’s for this man that we make films, it’s for the man who said before he died, I want to see this film.”

By now, it should be known that Baldur’s Gate 3 offers you as many freedoms as hardly any other game. This also means that moral boundaries no longer really exist and taboos can be broken.
Spoiler Warning: The article contains information about critical moments in the story of Baldur’s Gate 3.
What kind of crime is this?
In movies and gaming, there is a great taboo that is almost never broken: children who can die.
There are almost no games with child NPCs where they can be killed or even just attacked. The “Rick & Morty” shooter High on Life has something like this as an Easter egg, but even there, with the weapon comment that such silly actions raise the game’s age rating.
Baldur’s Gate 3 deals with this taboo much more openly. Here you can not only kill children, but it is also hardly avoidable.
Where does it appear in Baldur’s Gate 3? There are at least two prominent places where you encounter children that you kill directly or indirectly:
the goblin children in the camp who stand in front of Halsin and throw stones at him
the tiefling children and their thieves’ guild in the refugee camp
Although you don’t necessarily have to kill the goblin children, they do intervene in the fight, when you want to rescue Halsin. If you choose to let them escape, they call for reinforcements and make the fight significantly harder.
The tiefling children inevitably die when you follow an evil path and want to recruit Minthara. During the goblins’ attack on the camp, all tieflings are killed, including the children in their cave.
Here you don’t wield the sword yourself, but you still make the decision and the death sentence for the refugees. As far as we know, the tieflings and other children besides the goblins are not actively “killable” – although some players even wish for that (via Larian forums).
The sheer amount of possibilities is one of the reasons for the success of Baldur’s Gate 3 – even if decisions can be cruel:
Start video
Middle finger to the AAA industry: Baldur’s Gate 3 was no coincidence
Killing children in Baldur’s Gate 3 is somehow … acceptable?
Baldur’s Gate 3 not only breaks a taboo here, but there are also no gameplay penalties for it – aside from the obvious ones: You lose all “good” companions if you slaughter the tieflings.
This system divides characters into 5 categories: Lawful, Chaotic, Good, Evil, and Neutral. Goblins are naturally “neutral evil” creatures. Therefore, as a paladin, it is considered acceptable to kill them – even children.
However, the game never brings up what you have done again. Neither one of your companions nor any NPC ever mentions the dead children to you.
The possibility that children can die in Baldur’s Gate 3 is cruel. Nevertheless, it fits into the world, which really allows you almost everything and … is simply not nice. After all, mind-flaying tentacle monsters are trying to conquer everything. And players of Baldur’s Gate 3 are somehow used to cruelties: players find speedruns in Baldur’s Gate 3 dark because your companions often suffer terrible torments

A few days ago, the first trailer for the sequel to the 2019 role-playing game Greedfall, released on Steam, was released. MyMMO author Linda Knabe is looking forward to the prequel, especially since it differs in some aspects from its predecessor.
Greedfall actually grabbed me before its release with its trailers. The whole world that was presented to me immediately resonated with me, and I couldn’t wait to dive in and explore the mysteries of this new world.
Unfortunately, the first part disappointed me quite a bit. To this day, I believe that Greedfall had the potential to be a good role-playing game. Because the ideas, interesting characters, and story content were there. In my opinion, they just weren’t well-developed, were dealt with quickly, and were partly not thought out properly.
Now the trailer for the sequel has been released and evokes the same thought in me as back then: I really want to play this game because it looks like a damn good RPG.
Start video
Greedfall 2 spielt drei Jahre vor den Ereignissen des ersten Teils
When is Greedfall 2 supposed to be released? This time, the developers want to do one thing differently right away. Before the full release, it is supposed to start in Early Access on Steam. Content-wise, this version is supposed to account for about a quarter of the game.
In this way, the developers want to gather feedback before the release and address any criticisms accordingly. Whether this system will prove itself for Greedfall 2 remains to be seen.
The full version is supposed to be released on Steam, PS5, and Xbox. However, one should certainly not expect a release before 2025.
What do I expect from the sequel? The fact that Greedfall did not offer me what I had hoped for back then can be seen simply from the fact that I have not played this game multiple times. With most role-playing games, I actually look forward to another run.
I have only played Greedfall once; it was quite nice, but the urge to play it again is limited. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to the next part and giving this interesting world another chance. However, I hope that some things will improve.
For me personally, Greedfall 2 must fulfill the following points as promised:
More extensive areas and more exploration
Deeper story and relationships
Revamped combat system
It was clear to me from the beginning that Greedfall would not be as extravagant as Dragon Age. After all, it was already announced with much less playtime. It is for people who love role-playing games but don’t have the time or stamina for several hundred hours of gameplay. A very good concept in itself.
However, everything in Greedfall felt so rushed that one couldn’t really get into the game properly. Despite fewer hours of gameplay, I would have wished for more depth in some areas. This is exactly where the developers promise changes.
The game world is supposed to not only become larger and span across the entire continent but also place even more focus on exploration. Again, an open world will be avoided, and everything will be divided into larger areas and nations. I think at this point it is important that they don’t just make more, but that they go deeper in content. That individual quests are not simply stretched out but provide me with content that I won’t forget immediately after playing.
Greedfall 2 promises more intimacy with companions
The second part also aims to develop romances more intensively. This would already be a point that would significantly improve Greedfall 2 for me. In the first part, I found myself wondering a few times when exactly my character and my companion became so close that one would write a poem about the other.
With the combat system, the sequel promises to do many things differently and hopefully better. Our companions will no longer act exclusively on their own in combat but can be tactically controlled by us as players.
In my opinion, this could be a big plus point and save a lot for the game. Because occasionally, my companions simply frustrated and angered me. Having control over their actions now is definitely something I expect from a good RPG.
Ultimately, I also personally like that this time I play as a native of Teer Fradee. Because I actually wished for that in the first part. That Greedfall 2 also takes place three years before the events of the first part sounds a little more exciting to me than just a pure continuation of the story.
Crunchyroll has been celebrating the Anime Awards every year since 2017. This event awards the best animes and individuals associated with them. One anime has won particularly many awards, leaving hits like One Piece and Attack on Titan behind.
Which anime has skyrocketed? We are talking about Jujutsu Kaisen. Last year, the 2nd season of the anime started and amazed many fans with its well-animated, action-packed fights.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 has not only been crowned Anime of the Year, but it has also won 10 additional awards in the following categories (via Crunchyroll):
Best Character Design
Best New Series
Best Opening
Best Ending
Best Direction
Best Supporting Character
Best Action
Best Acting (JP)
Best Acting (FR)
Best Acting (PT)
With a total of 11 awards, the anime has catapulted itself to the top of the awarded prizes. It is especially surprising that well-known animes like One Piece and Demon Slayer landed in the lower ranks.
Maybe One Piece will have more luck next year. After all, the Egghead Arc has started this year:

So many awards have the animes won at the awards
How did One Piece and Attack on Titan perform? In the following positions, Chainsaw Man comes in with 6 awards and Demon Slayer with 3 awards. Only then do One Piece and Attack on Titan follow, each receiving 2 accolades.
One Piece secured the categories “Best Ongoing Series” and “Best Main Character,” while Attack on Titan excelled in the categories “Best Soundtrack” and “Best Drama.”
Other animes that received 1 or 2 awards include:
Spy X Family (Best “Must Protect” Character, Best Comedy)
Buddy Daddies (Best Original Anime)
Bocchi the Rock! (Best New Series)
Suzume (Best Film)
Oshi no Ko (Best Anime Song)
Horimiya: The Missing Pieces (Best Romance)
Dr. Stone (Best Acting (AR))
The animes that received an award were determined both by fans around the world and by a global expert jury. Thus, the awards reflect the general opinion of all anime viewers.
We can be curious which animes will be awarded at the next award ceremony. In 2024, there are exciting candidates like Solo Leveling or Kaiju No. 8.
Is there an anime you thought would also win awards? Or would you have awarded one of the participating animes more / fewer awards? Let us know in the comments!
