On the occasion of Ultimate Team’s 15th birthday, EA has released new special cards in FC 24. Among them is Kolo Muani, a familiar face from the Bundesliga, who is only available in a very specific way. We will tell you how to get his card as quickly as possible.
This is the situation:
EA Sports has introduced another special item for former Bundesliga player Kolo Muani with the launch of the new Season Pass.
The upgraded version of the PSG striker is part of the Ultimate Birthday promo and comes with a significant stats and Weak Foot upgrade, making him perfectly two-footed (five stars).
However, the 90-rated card is only available as an Objective and must therefore be earned through gameplay.
Since Kolo Muani can enhance some teams due to his stats and links, we show you how to quickly obtain his birthday version.
Complete Kolo Muani Objective as quickly as possible in FC 24 – Here’s what you need to do
This is how the Objective is structured: The Kolo Muani Objective can be found under the “Seasonal” tab and consists of a total of seven individual tasks that will earn you not only the striker but also seven packs and 3500 XP. A highlight is an untradeable 85+x2 Rare Gold Players Pack.
These conditions must be met: To start the tasks, you first need to grind and work your way through the Season Pass.
Only after you have unlocked the three available Ultimate Birthday cards from Bellerin (Level 10), McKennie (Level 20), and Insigne (Level 30), can you get started.
This is how to get Kolo Muani the fastest: Since a total of 30,000 experience points are required to reach Level 30, it is important that you complete as many daily and weekly tasks as possible. Completing these via Rivals and Squad Battles will earn you additional XP from the weekly rewards.
Once you have reached the mentioned level, you will only need to play 15 matches in Rivals, the Weekend League, or Squad Battles (at least semi-pro difficulty) to enjoy the PSG star. Due to the game duration, we recommend the offline mode here.

Now, assemble a powerful team around the aforementioned trio, as they must partially be in your starting lineup. Then it gets serious.
Over the 15 matches, you may concede a maximum of two goals four times. In addition, you need to provide three assists with Bellerin, score six goals with Insigne, and deliver two goals and one assist with McKennie.
Follow these steps, and you can test Kolo Muani for yourself soon. If you want to know what other Ultimate Birthday cards EA has released on the 15th birthday, we recommend checking out our overview article.

James MrBeast Donaldson (25) is arguably the most successful YouTuber ever. Many fans dream of following in his footsteps. However, the 25-year-old warns against making hasty career decisions.
He dropped out of school because streaming was more important to him – The success of LetsHugo
“For every person who makes it, there are thousands who don’t”
What does MrBeast say? In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the YouTuber warns against giving up a secure career too hastily to become a content creator. He wrote on March 15, 2024:

It is painful to see people giving up their jobs/dropping out of school to produce content full-time before they are ready. For every person like me who makes it, there are thousands who don’t. Please keep this in mind and be smart.
So MrBeast does not fundamentally discourage pursuing the dream of becoming a content creator. However, aspiring influencers should ensure that they can actually make a living from it before giving up an existing job or neglecting their education.
The 25-year-old compares the chance of becoming successful on YouTube and similar platforms in a humorous comment under his post to gambling: On the other hand, if one were to take out a mortgage on their house and gamble their wealth on roulette, he would support that (via X).
But even those who have succeeded and are successfully producing content online sometimes struggle with their career choice. The young Twitch streamer Fibii wanted to become a federal police officer before. Now she is one of the most successful women on German Twitch, but she says: “Influencers have achieved nothing in life”

The success of Palworld (Xbox, Steam) surprised not only numerous players and media outlets in January 2024 but also the developers themselves. Now the head of the development studio talks about the revenue and the future of the studio.
This is how successful Palworld is: The crazy mix of survival and Pokémon became a surprise hit on Steam and Xbox in January 2024. The title from Pocketpair, a rather small Japanese studio with currently 55 members, sold millions of copies and became one of the most played games on Steam.
Palworld sold 1 million copies within the first 8 hours after its early access launch. In total, it reached 25 million players by February 2024 – since some are playing it for free through Xbox Game Pass, this does not directly correspond to paying customers.
On Steam alone, Palworld sold approximately 15 million copies (via SteamDB). Due to regional pricing, exact revenue figures cannot be derived from this.
According to Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe, the development of Palworld cost 1 billion yen, roughly 6.1 million euros, but generated “dozens of billions of yen” in profit.
Furthermore, Palworld, with a peak of 2.1 million concurrent players, ranks second among the most played Steam games of all time (via SteamDB).
In an interview with Bloomberg (paid article), the head stated that the revenue is actually “too large for a studio of our size” and discussed the future plans.
Palworld has just announced its first raid, which will bring a new Pal into the game.

What’s next for the Palworld studio? According to Mizobe, the sole owner of Pocketpair, the company is in negotiations to bring Palworld to other platforms outside of Steam and Game Pass. Additionally, they are “open” to partnership or acquisition offers.
However, the CEO emphasizes that they have not yet had discussions regarding a takeover with Microsoft. Microsoft announced shortly after the early access launch of Palworld that they wanted to support the developers with optimization and updates.
However, Mizobe apparently has no interest in giving up the indie status: “We are and will remain a small studio. I want to make several small games. Big-budget triple-A games are not for us.” Accordingly, they do not want to go on a big spending spree, hire more employees or move into fancier offices.
Moreover, Mizobe also has no plans to offer shares of Pocketpair on public markets.
What does this mean for Palworld? The impact of a partnership or even a takeover on Palworld will likely only show over time. Given the previous sales, Pocketpair should at least have more than enough money to continue developing Palworld.
Many players were initially concerned that the survival game could be abandoned by the developers and remain stuck in early access forever. Because with the announcement of Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse, which is reminiscent of the indie gem Hollow Knight, the studio wants to have four games simultaneously in early access.
So far, Pocketpair seems to be on the ball with Palworld – or rather the Palsphere. As announced in the roadmap from January 24, endgame content in the form of raid bosses is expected to come to the game in the near future. MeinMMO tells you what we know so far about the 1st raid.

There is excitement in the USA about the new superhero video game “Black Panther” from Electronic Arts. A video clip is being hotly debated on reddit and Twitch. Streamer Asmongold once again leads the way in the protest. The context in which the developer speaks is being distorted.
What kind of clip is this?
The clip features Danielle Lalonders speaking. She is currently an “Associate Narrative Designer” for Cliffhanger Games. The studio is working with Electronic Arts on “Black Panther”.
However, in the clip, she is not talking about “Black Panther”, but about the game “ValiDate: Struggling Singles in your Area”, which was released on Steam in September 2022.
For the studio “Veritabel Joy Studios”, she works as a Lead Producer – in this role, she speaks in the clip.
Black Panther is a Marvel movie from 2018. In summer 2023, EA and Marvel announced a new single-player game about Black Panther (via GamePro):
Start video
German trailer for Black Panther
This is what the designer says:
“I have a team of 21 people at ValiDate. That is a quite large team. For an indie team, it’s an incredibly large team. But who is in our team? ValiDate has a team that is mostly – that exclusively consists of people of color. We have no white people on our team.
I made that decision because I wanted to create a safe environment and I know: the best way to make the environment safe is to work with people who are like me. I am not saying that white people create an unsafe environment in the gaming industry. I am not saying that. I am saying that it is sometimes hard to work with white people because they think something is okay, but it is a microaggression.”
No one wants to deal with such difficulties when developing a game they love.

What is important to know? This statement is being portrayed on social networks and in media reports (via dailymail) as “This is what the lead developer of EA’s new game ‘Black Panther’ says”.
However, this statement does not refer to this game. She did not make this statement in her capacity as an EA employee, but in a different context and in relation to a different team.
“ValiDate” is an indie game with consciously “diverse stories” – and not “Black Panther”, a game aimed at the mass market.
For “Black Panther”, the designer is also not a “Lead Designer”, but an “Associate Narrative Designer” – “Associate” is usually a job at a “somewhat better than entry-level” level. It can therefore be assumed that she is not in a position to make personnel decisions.
Discussion is heated
How is this being discussed? As one might imagine, the video in the embedded video game reddit is being critically discussed.
One user quips: “So, if the game flops, will they blame it on racism?”
Another user says: Don’t make a mistake here. The woman speaks only for herself and not for all black people.
Once again, Twitch streamer Asmongold has taken the lead in the “I am outraged” movement, portraying the clip with “EA developer explains why she doesn’t hire white people”.
He says it is clearly racist. One only has to imagine if black people were categorically excluded in hiring. He explains this to be probably illegal and the designer’s behavior to be “simply insane”.
His video on the clip has already received 540,000 views. In a second video, Asmongold’s editor clarifies that he “mistakenly” stated that the developer was the lead designer for Black Panther. In reality, she is just a Narrative Designer. However, the developer is called a “racist piece of shit” and they see themselves fundamentally in the right.
In a critical reddit thread that the editor refers to, Asmongold is accused of “ignorant rage baiting”. One user suggests that YouTube needs “Community Notes” like Twitter.

What’s behind this: It was clear that the developer’s statement in the currently charged climate would spark such a reaction. But in her actual context, as the producer of an indie game, the statement probably would never have made such waves.
In her role as an EA employee, the designer likely would never have said something like that, because the situation is different, and presumably the EA PR machine would have exploded.
The debate is part of the current “Sweet Baby Inc” story, led by Asmongold, which criticizes a consulting firm for making video games artificially “woke” and then turning against a Steam group that criticized this behavior.
Amid this heated climate, stories like “Indie designer makes tiny game on Steam that is supposed to be diverse and doesn’t hire any whites” escalate into such a story.
“Black Panther”, a game that focuses on a black superhero, lends itself particularly well to such a debate:
In Helldivers 2, the fight for democracy and freedom is not easy. Even on medium difficulty levels, the game can become challenging. However, a special player has one task left after 200 hours: to help other players.
Helldivers 2 is one of the surprise hits of 2024 and is especially known for its difficult missions that can be experienced in co-op with strangers or friends. When playing the game alone, you may encounter issues with missions even on lower difficulty levels.
If you don’t have a fixed group, you can activate the SOS beacon in the mission. In the mission selection, other players can then join random emergency signals. One special player has almost achieved everything and plays only to help other players. He is reminiscent of a special Elden Ring player.
A new war bond has been released with new gear:
Start video

The Reddit user Mountain-Leader2722 posted a post titled I am that level 50 guy. In it, he explains that he has unlocked everything in the game after 200 hours. The only thing he can still unlock in missions are Super Credits.
However, he continues to play the game and has made it his mission to help other players. For that, he responds to SOS beacons. He explains that he will help players in every danger. Once he has completed the main task, he waits for extraction until you have completed all tasks in the mission.
At the same time, he also talks about a negative experience and appeals to players that if they activate an SOS beacon, they should not kick the helpful players from the lobby. You join the game to help other players. Current teammates are a major problem for many in Helldivers 2.
The community seems to like this hero, as the Reddit post has over 5000 upvotes and nearly 600 comments, most of which are positive.
IGN compares this Helldivers player, who is named “.atsu” in-game, to a legendary player from the Elden Ring community. “Let Me Solo Her” became known on the internet for simply playing Elden Ring with almost no armor to help players with arguably the hardest boss in the game, Malenia. After 1200 hours, even this hero is finally retiring: Elden Ring: Community legend no longer wants to defeat Malenia for you: ‘I’ve had enough.’

The highly anticipated PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade is already causing quite a stir before its release. After Sony apparently accidentally published a demo version and quickly removed it, the scandalous “Skin Suit” became the topic of the day – now it turns out: This thing is not just a fashion statement, but it actually affects gameplay.
What kind of outfit is this? On March 9, 2024, a demo for Stella Blade went live in the PS5 store for a short time. Although Sony deleted the apparently accidental release after about an hour and blocked existing accesses, it was enough for some users to get a first impression.
Now it turns out: Those who dress their character in the scandalous outfit risk not only looking like a weirdo but also making their virtual lives significantly more difficult.

Just Don’t Get Hit
What impact does the outfit have on the game? Those who could tear their eyes away from Eve and her model figure long enough in the demo to read the in-game description of the “Skin Suit” found an important hint. Translated, it says:
Skin Suits are outfits specifically from Mother Sphere. They cover the body of the Airborne Squad member and expand automatically or stretch depending on the situation. In other words, it is like a living skin. (The shield is deactivated when wearing this Skin Suit.)
So when Eve is out and about in her, well, Eve costume, she is significantly more vulnerable to damage. For inattentive players, this can quickly mean death. X user ScourgeHH even speaks of a kind of “hard mode” for Stellar Blade when equipping the suit. In other words: Those who want to admire Eve almost naked should be good at dodging.
The discovery is interesting in that it was previously assumed that the 30 promised outfits in Stellar Blade would be purely cosmetic. Now it turns out that at least the “Skin Suit” affects gameplay. It is unclear whether other outfits will have similar impacts on gameplay as well.
Curious players will have to wait until April 26, as Stellar Blade will be released on PlayStation 5 then.
In Pokémon GO, the Community Day with Flamiau takes place today, on March 16, 2024, where you can secure an event ticket with a special research. We at MeinMMO will show you what tasks and rewards await you.
What kind of ticket is this? Every month, the Community Day takes place in Pokémon GO. This is an event where you can encounter a previously determined Pokémon all over the wilderness. For today’s Community Day, you will encounter the Fire Pokémon Flamiau.
Besides the numerous spawns and one or two bonuses, a special research awaits you, which you can acquire as part of the paid event ticket. You can find this for about 1 Euro in your in-game shop.
Due to the time difference, the Community Day has already begun in other regions of the world. Trainers there already have access to the research and are sharing the content on social networks. With the help of the overview from LeekDuck, we have summarized the tasks and rewards of the research below.

Is it worth buying the ticket?
What you need to know: Through the research, you will receive additional encounters with strong Flamiau, Miezunder, and Fuegro. In addition, valuable items such as incense, a Rocket Radar, a Lucky Egg, berries, or special candies are included, which together have a higher value than the actual ticket price.
So, if you were already planning to buy the items, you should rather go for the ticket. The tasks are also quick and easy to complete. If you’re not interested in the items or the additional encounters, you can still enjoy the C-Day without a ticket.
In Pokémon GO the next Community Day featuring Flamiau is coming up. We show you what to expect and how to make the most of the event.
What kind of event is this? The Community Day is an event in Pokémon GO that takes place every month. During this event, there is a Pokémon that appears almost exclusively in the wild. Alongside this, the shiny rate of this Pokémon is greatly increased and there are additional bonuses that are active during the event.
In March 2024, Flamiau will take center stage during the Community Day. This starter Pokémon from Generation 7 is a Fire type and can evolve into Miezunder and then into Fuegro.
Update from March 16: We have added content regarding the special research for you.

Community Day in March 2024 with Flamiau – Start & Bonuses of the Event
What? Community Day with Flamiau When? Saturday, March 16, 2024 – From 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM Exclusive Attack: Lohekanonade for Fuegro, if you evolve Miezunder into Fuegro by 10:00 PM Bonuses: – Increased shiny chance for Flamiau – Triple catch experience points – Double catch candy – Doubled chance for XL candy starting from level 31 – Lures and incense last 3 hours (not the daily adventure incense) – Snapshot surprises – Field research with Flamiau – PokéStop Showcases with Flamiau
Bonuses until 10:00 PM local time: – An additional special trade – 50% less stardust cost when trading
Additional content during the Community Day: It is common during Community Days that you can participate in 4*-raids after the actual Community Day. These run from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. This time, Miezunder awaits you here. If you defeat it, additional Flamiau will appear around the gym for 30 minutes that you can catch.
Furthermore, for the first time, you have the opportunity to secure a free ticket for the research in selected cities. You can see how this works in the following post:
Additionally, Fuegro will be able to learn the charged attack Dark Lariat of the Dark type starting from the Community Day.
Can Flamiau be shiny? Yes, you have an increased chance for the shiny monster. Here’s what it looks like:
Above you see the normal forms of Flamiau and its evolutions, below the shiny variants
Who is Flamiau worth it for?
For collectors: If you currently have neither Flamiau nor its evolutions in your Pokédex, this event is perfect for you. With the countless appearances of Flamiau, you can collect enough candies to evolve it.
Since the shiny chance is also significantly increased, you also have the opportunity to add the shiny variant of Flamiau and its evolutions to your collection.
For fighters: If you want to use Flamiau and its evolutions for battling, you will be disappointed. Unfortunately, Fuegro is not among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
The situation is similar in the battle leagues. Fuegro does not play a role in any of the battle leagues. Here, you should resort to other Pokémon.
The perfect preparation for the Community Day in March 2024
Make room: As is customary for Community Days, you should ensure that you have space in your Pokémon Box. This will save you the hassle of constantly sending Pokémon during the Community Day.
Sananaberries: If you use Sananaberries when catching a Pokémon, you double the candies you receive upon capture. Since you already receive double candies during the event, you can obtain four times the amount of candies for a catch with a Sananaberry.
Incense and Lure Module: These two items help increase the number of Pokémon you encounter. If you activate either of the items during the Community Day, the duration will even be extended to 3 hours.
Which Mega Pokémon are worth it for the event? If you have a Fire-type Mega Pokémon active, you can enjoy an additional candy when catching a Flamiau. The following Mega evolutions are Fire-type and therefore worthwhile if you want to use this bonus during the Community Day.
Mega-Altaria
Mega-Charizard X or Mega-Charizard Y
Mega-Houndoom
Mega-Blaziken
What do you think about the Community Day with Flamiau? Are you excited for it, or would you have preferred another Pokémon to be the focus? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments and discuss with other trainers there. If you want to know which events are still upcoming in March 2024 in Pokémon GO, you will also find this information with us.

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.
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:
Start video
Diablo 4: Do you forget to use your elixirs? This trick helps 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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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:
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).

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

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.
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…
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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!
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:

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.
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

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%.
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.
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.
Twitch streamer Tanzverbot talks about his difficult past, still regrets his lack of education
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.
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.
