7 vs. Wild Season 3: Knossi is disappointed with the editing, says his most important scenes are missing

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Reaction to 7 vs. Wild Season 3 “Behind-the-Scenes”, Jens “Knossi” Knosalla (37) revealed that he has already seen his parts from the main series. He is disappointed with the editing because his most important scenes are missing.

Why is Knossi disappointed? Knossi has already seen all current scenes of the main series featuring him and his team partner Sascha Huber (31). Unlike many candidates, he does not wait for the YouTube broadcast for his part in the survival project but watches it privately beforehand. However, Knossi will have to watch some episodes later, as the Twitch star is moving into a house with other influencers.

Knossi recently mentioned in his stream that important scenes are missing in the series that would provide context. At times, only the results of actions are shown, which had previously caused hours of head-scratching for the candidates.

„I am disappointed with the editing, it really upset me, honestly.”

7 vs. Wild Season 3: Number of episodes and the episode length does not match the number of participants

Why are there constant complaints about the episodes? Complaints about the episodes also occurred in Knossi’s stream. The episodes are too short for so many participants. This year, there are 14 instead of 7 participants stranded in the wilderness of Canada. Another user complained in the chat that Knossi and Sascha have too little screen time.

Fritz Meinecke (34) announced some time ago that the number of episodes and their length would remain about the same as in seasons 1 and 2. This is probably due to the fact that the episodes receive fewer and fewer clicks over the course of the season. Longer episodes, on the other hand, would reduce the watch time, which is bad for the YouTube algorithm. Nevertheless, Fritz Meinecke is dissatisfied with the production of season 3, most recently he had a confrontation with the new production company.

Why is the community divided? While many viewers of the streamer agree with him in his chat, some on TikTok have a different opinion. TikTok user “Discovery of Slowness” writes: “That’s what the uncut episodes are for. I think the main episodes are perfectly edited, this time – without needing to skip participants.”

The uncut episodes were introduced in season 2 and show almost all footage of the participants. Only things that the participants do not want to show, or that are not allowed on YouTube, are censored.

MontanaBlack was also planned for season 3 of 7 vs. Wild this year but has canceled. Now the tables have turned and he is receiving a series of cancellations for his Christmas event.

LoL: The great Faker suffered an internet outage in the middle of the match – His teammates let him be banned

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Faker is the greatest professional in the field of League of Legends. But even outside of professional matches, the Korean plays the game, whether as preparation or just for fun. He can also be banned if he is AFK and gets reported. Even if it was unintentional.

Faker is a name everyone knows in LoL. His successes are unparalleled, and he set a new record at the Worlds 2023. But even outside of tournament matches, the LoL god plays the game. Whether as preparation, as a stream, or simply casually. Thus, he is not protected from the banning system.

As Twitter user Caedral shows, Faker was banned for a normal game during the Worlds 2023, because he suddenly was AFK in a match.

Start video
The Life of Faker – Why He is a Living Legend

Big Internet Outage in Busan

What happened? Faker played a normal match in League of Legends with his well-known account Hide on bush. But in the game itself, Faker suddenly went AFK. After the match, Faker was reported by at least one of his teammates, as can be seen in this tweet:

https://twitter.com/lendahlol/status/1729536095136956657

As a result, Faker was automatically banned by the system for 14 days. His being AFK was unintentional, as there was a major internet outage in the Korean capital Busan at that time. But the ban didn’t last long, as Faker was quickly unbanned by Riot.

Despite the quick unbanning of Faker, it did not stop the pro from apologizing to Riot. He wrote to Riot: I’m sorry, I won’t leave the game again.

Under the tweet, some voices gather that take the ban of Faker with humor, but there are also some who feel unfairly treated.

  • asyc: Yeah, but when I get banned for 2 weeks, the support ticket doesn’t even get answered, good game Riot.
  • T1 Xowa: Meanwhile, they still refuse to ban my 0/18 support without a support item because he had a “bad game”.
  • selfmade: He gets a 2-week ban for internet problems and I don’t get punished for intentional leaving.

As the best LoL player in the world, you naturally have a few privileges, especially when the problems were not caused by you. Also in other areas, the LoL god is lucky and is protected by his successes:

Voice actor from One Piece praises the performance of Ruffy’s voice actress: „I have never seen a performance that surpasses this“

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 3 minutes

Protagonist Monkey D. Luffy is voiced by a woman in the Japanese original version of the anime One Piece. Mayumi Tanaka has been the voice of the rubber man for 24 years and has proven in many scenes how much emotion is in her voice. A colleague is now particularly highlighting this achievement.

Attention, spoiler alert! This article describes the events from Episode 483 of the anime One Piece. It is an emotional episode in the Marineford arc.

What kind of appearance is it about? Many fans of One Piece, who are already caught up with the current episodes of the anime, must still be watching Ace’s flashbacks with pain in their hearts. Ace is Luffy’s non-biological brother, who protected him with his life.

Ace throws himself in front of a magma fist and is pierced in the process. He can still share his last words with Luffy and dies after a few moments. The straw hat pirate then lets out a bone-chilling scream and cries so miserably that many fans struggled with tears pouring down their faces.

The scene can be seen in the following tweet from Rigby_The_Gamer. From minute 1:00, you can watch the situation again, in which Tanaka brings out the best in her voice:

https://twitter.com/Rigby_The_Gamer/status/1721373752305356805

The performance of Luffy’s voice actress helped a colleague

What does Ace’s voice actor say about it? Toshio Furukawa is the voice of Ace. With this scene, his character had the last living appearance in the anime. No wonder, then, that Furukawa would have preferred not to go to work that day (via X).

He still showed up for work and struggled hard with Ace’s fate. However, the convincing performance of Luffy’s voice actress knocked him off his feet so much that he too had to shed a few tears and was speechless (via 3D Juegos).

On X he writes that he has never seen such a good crying performance. And that means something: The voice actor has been in the business since 1975 and has voiced in animes like Mobile Suit Gundam, Dragon Ball, and Detective Conan. Currently, for example, he can be heard as Hantengu in Demon Slayer.

Thanks to Tanaka’s acting performance, Furukawa was able to accept Ace’s death. After his death in the anime, he only appears in flashbacks, for example, in the current Wano Country arc. By the way, the straw hat crew’s next destination is Egghead Island:

Start video
One Piece: New trailer shows first images from the Egghead Island arc

Who is Mayumi Tanaka?

  • Mayumi Tanaka is the voice of Monkey D. Luffy and not only voices him in the anime series but also in movies and all video games
  • The voice actress is an anime veteran and has voiced characters like Krillin and Yajirobi from Dragon Ball as well as Koenma from Yu Yu Hakusho. A live-action adaptation of the latter is soon to be released on Netflix, but Tanaka will not be voicing in it.
  • In animes, Tanaka often voices the role of a boy, but her voice can also be heard outside of animes. For example, Japanese people know her as Babe the pig, Skippy Squirrel from Animaniacs, and John Connor from Terminator 2.

The straw hat pirate is mainly known for his lively character. For example, when Luffy reaches his Gear 5 in the longest fight in anime history, he can’t stop laughing.

However, as she has proven with the scene described at the beginning, she can also wonderfully voice sad scenes. Even in Dragon Ball or Terminator 2, where things get serious, she was able to impress with her performance. Tanaka is a talent that we hope will remain with us for many years to come.

In the Netflix series, Luffy is played by Iñaki Godoy. He wants the whole world to know One Piece: The new series brings one of the biggest mangas to Netflix, the lead actor says: “I want your grandfather to know what One Piece is”

The MMORPG Blade & Soul aims to bring back its former glory with new servers, showcasing first images in the trailer

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 2 minutes

NCsoft’s Blade & Soul will beautify the old areas on new servers. With improved graphics and enhanced gameplay, the original feeling is set to return.

What is it about? The MMO Blade & Soul aims to bring back the original shine of the game with the new Neo Classic Servers. Everything, however, comes with improvements in graphics and gameplay.

So far, there isn’t much information available about the new servers. But in a first trailer, you will be shown the graphically revamped areas.

We’ve embedded the trailer here for you:

Select a MMO video…

What does the trailer show? The trailer doesn’t show much in its nearly 40 seconds. Especially, nothing can be recognized yet from the promised, better gameplay.

However, you will immediately get the comparison of the graphics to the old servers, which were created in Unreal Engine 3 and received an upgrade with Unreal Engine 4.

The brief impressions that the trailer conveys are really very beautiful, and the improved optics are certainly worth seeing.

The new servers not only show more details and more realistic nature in the various areas: especially the change in colors becomes very clear in the short trailer. These are more saturated and intense and give everything a more lively touch.

Players like the new look, but wish for more changes

This is what the players say: In the reactions (via YouTube), players do not deny that the graphical upgrade looks good. However, many comments note that the graphics are not the main problem they wish to change.

For example, user grumpysheep3710 writes: ‘That was very nice, but to attract new players and bring the game back to life, you need to fix all those microtransactions, P2E (pay to everything), and probably all other things about the game that made people leave.’

User xRiizo shares a similar opinion and writes in his comment: ‘I love almost everything about it. The only bad thing is that NCsoft is still in charge, so it will just be the same money-hungry platform again.’

What do you think of the information about the Neo Classic Servers? Feel free to discuss in the comments.

Recently, NCsoft has entered into a new partnership: Sony partners with one of the largest MMO companies in the world: Is the Horizon MMORPG for PS5 coming soon?

„The best lesson is a million-dollar lawsuit“ – YouTuber fights against idea theft

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

On YouTube, Zack “JerryRigEverything” is successfully providing analyses and tests on smartphones. Additionally, he sells cases and skins for phones and tablets. A company is now said to have used his designs without permission. He intends to take action against this.

What is the situation? The YouTuber JerryRigEverything is mainly known for his review videos on technology, especially smartphones. In collaboration with the accessory manufacturer dbrand, the 35-year-old also has a line of phone and tablet cases and skins.

The designs sold under the “Teardown” label reflect the insides of the respective devices. The designs consist of high-resolution scans of the hardware. Now, JerryRigEverything accuses the Hong Kong-based manufacturer Casetify of having blatantly copied his designs. He intends to take legal action against this.

dbrand itself is also known for taking on other companies.

YouTuber does not want to profit

What are the allegations? In a nearly 14-minute video, JerryRigEverything compares the Teardown line with “Inside Out” by Casetify. He explains that it would be entirely acceptable if the manufacturer had disassembled phones itself to produce a competing product.

However, according to JerryRigEverything, Casetify did not create the cases based on its own scans but merely used product images of the Teardown skins and cases. As evidence, the YouTuber cites mistakes that have crept into the manufacturer’s cases:

  • For instance, Casetify accidentally adopted Easter eggs that JerryRigEverything and dbrand had smuggled into their products: Among them, a catchphrase of the YouTuber and the date when dbrand was launched.
  • Additionally, a case from Casetify shows an extra camera lens that originates from the product photo of the original Teardown version.

As JerryRigEverything explains, he is particularly disturbed by the alleged idea theft since Casetify is not a “small family business”: Casetify is described by the South China Morning Post in an article from 2017 as “one of the three largest brands for tech accessories in the world.”

Casetify is said to have sold more than 15 million cases worldwide and made $300 million in revenue alone in 2022 (via Lifestyle Asia).

How is the YouTuber fighting back: JerryRigEverything and dbrand are taking legal action against the brand. The YouTuber explains: “The best way to teach Casetify a lesson is with a multi-million dollar lawsuit.”

However, the YouTuber does not want to become rich from the action: He is already aware that there will likely be no winner in such a case. But if he were unexpectedly awarded a payment, the money should go into his project for off-road wheelchairs, “The Rig.”

What does Casetify say about the issue? On X, formerly Twitter, the brand released a statement on November 24, 2023: They see themselves as a “bulwark of originality” and are currently investigating a copyright accusation. The “Inside Out” product line has already been removed from the website.

At the same time, Casetify refers to a DDoS attack on their website that occurred when the allegations were raised. The connection to the copyright allegations is unclear.

WoW: The legendary axe Fyr’alath for everyone – This is how the ‘Bad Luck Protection’ works

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Do you want to get the legendary axe Fyr’alath in World of Warcraft? We’ll tell you how the drop works – and how to increase your chances.

In World of Warcraft Dragonflight, the legendary axe “Fyr’alath the Dreamrender” dropped for the first time a few days ago, specifically for the professional guild Echo, which won the World First race.

Now the first server maintenance after the end of the race was scheduled, and consequently the weapon is “unlocked” for all other difficulties. Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors can therefore hope to loot Fyr’alath from Fyrakk.

However, to prevent you from waiting forever for this weapon, there are “Bad Luck Protections” – mechanisms that ensure that the longer you wait, the more likely it becomes that you will receive the weapon. We will tell you how it works.

WoW Fyralath the Dreamrender Tooltip trans
The legendary axe of Fyrakk.

How can Fyr’alath drop? It depends on what difficulty you are playing on:

  • LFR, Normal, and Heroic: Fyr’alath drops as “Personal Loot” – you do not have to roll for it.
  • Mythic: Fyr’alath can additionally drop as group loot, which can then be rolled for or otherwise assigned by the raid.

In addition, your chance is higher the harder the raid difficulty. If you visit the Amirdrassil raid on “Normal”, the weapon has a higher drop chance than in LFR. On “Heroic”, your chance is again higher than on “Normal” – and your highest chance is on “Mythic”.

At the same time, the higher difficulties accumulate your loot chances. So if you visit the raid on “Heroic” and kill Fyrakk there, it already includes your loot chance from “Normal” and “LFR”.

Therefore, it doesn’t make sense to visit the raid multiple times on different difficulties per week. Only complete the highest difficulty you can handle, and you have done the maximum.

How does the Bad Luck Protection work? In the past, the “Bad Luck Protection” increased over the weeks if you defeated end bosses repeatedly. For Fyr’alath, it’s a little different, as you can receive items that increase your drop chance in the future:

If you defeat Fyrakk (regardless of the difficulty), he drops a “Greater Ember of Fyr’alath” – when used, “you attune further to the hymn of Fyr’alath.” This means that your chance of Fyr’alath dropping for you can increase in the future.

WoW Greater Ember of Fyrakk tooltip trans

Additionally, all bosses on Heroic and Mythic difficulty in Amirdrassil have a chance to drop a “Lesser Ember of Fyrakk.” This also increases your drop chance for the future, but to a lesser extent.

Using the ember, whether small or large, continuously increases your drop chance for Fyr’alath. With each week in which you find and use ember, the chance becomes greater and greater.

For whom can Fyr’alath drop? The legendary axe can drop for Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors, regardless of which loot specialization you currently have active. You can also receive the axe if you are currently playing as a Protection Warrior who usually does not use two-handed weapons. Therefore, you do not have to change your loot specialization before the boss – you just have to belong to one of the three classes and have a chance for the weapon.

von Karsten Scholz

von Alexander Mehrwald

What does that mean overall? In summary, it can be said:

  • Defeat Fyrakk each week at your highest possible difficulty to have the maximum drop chance.
  • If possible, defeat raid bosses in Amirdrassil on “heroic” and “mythic” to further increase your drop chance for the coming weeks.

Everything clear so far?

If the weapon drops, you still cannot use it – equipping it costs you more than 1,000,000 gold.

Ark Survival Ascended: Release for PS5 finally confirmed

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The release date for Ark Survival Ascended on PlayStation 5 is finally set. Several delays had to pass first.

When is the release on PS5? On November 30th it will be time and you can get started on Sony’s console. The developers initially thought of a release in early December but have now officially confirmed November 30th.

The time is set at 9:00 AM Pacific, which corresponds to 6:00 PM in Germany. However, keep in mind that there may be issues at launch and the release could be delayed.

This is broken: While the game was already able to launch on PC and Xbox, that does not mean that all known bugs have been eradicated for the PS5 launch. Instead, the team from Studio Wildcard even admits quite transparently on X (formerly Twitter) that the join-failure problem will occur in the game until the next patch.

On PC and Xbox, the bug has since been fixed. We embed the tweet here:

It can be assumed that the bug is in the game at launch because the update to fix the problem has not yet been certified by PlayStation.

However, these are not game-breaking bugs. You can still download the game and get started. It is also positive that fixes are already on the way and the problems, at least in this case, have been identified.

MontanaBlack moves into the Twitch house: Everything about Celebrity Big Brother – Knossi Edition

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

No one expected that: MontanaBlack moves into the “Celebrity Big Brother” house because of Knossi. Knossi, who has been a guest at Celebrity Big Brother for years, is hosting his own Celebrity Big Brother event – Knossi Edition.

How did this come about? Knossi has been a guest on Celebrity Big Brother on Sat. 1 for years and in the channel’s “Late Night” show. In a short video on Instagram, the Twitch star revealed that he had fought for this opportunity for years. It is no secret that Knossi has wanted to implement this idea for a long time. It is also worthwhile for Sat. 1, as the influencers move into the same set where the 11th season of Celebrity Big Brother is currently running.

Is there a luxury area? Celebrity Big Brother does not have a luxury area in the current season 11. The edition is under the “Back to the Roots” motto and features Jürgen Milski, a resident from the very beginning. The Knossi Edition will take place only after the regular season of Celebrity Big Brother, but it will be set in the same scenery.

The face of the special edition of Celebrity Big Brother is Twitch streamer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla. You can see more about him in our video:

Unlike the normal season of Celebrity Big Brother, the stars in the Knossi Edition will only be locked in the container for 57 hours. Whether there will be games or the traditional shopping at the “Penny” market is still unknown.

Whether MontanaBlack will really move into the container with Knossi remains to be seen. The Twitch streamer has previously already canceled events he was invited to.

Since today, Pokémon GO vibrates more – Here’s how to turn off ‘Haptics’

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO there is a new feature. If you don’t like it, you can turn it off again.

What kind of feature is this? If you now start Pokémon GO in version 0.298.1, you will suddenly notice increased vibrations on supported smartphones. There is a haptic pulse during various actions in the game, such as:

  • When tapping the ball
  • Whenever the ball shakes while catching
  • When charging moves in PvP

This feature is currently enabled by default when you play Pokémon GO. However, if you don’t want to use it, for example, to save battery life, you can also disable it.

How do I turn this off? To do this, you simply need to go to the “Settings” of Pokémon GO. There you will find directly at the top of the first tab under “Vibrate” the new switch “Haptic”.

If you turn off the switch there, the haptic feature will also be off.

More interesting settings: In general, you can activate or deactivate a few exciting features in the settings of Pokémon GO.

Red Dead Redemption 2: After 500 hours, a player discovers a hidden scene in the current hit on Steam

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Rockstar continues to delight with their games even years after release, through many hidden secrets and scenes that cannot simply be seen on the first playthrough. A player discovered a scene in their 11th playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2 that they had never seen before.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game full of secrets that cannot simply be discovered in 1 or 2 playthroughs. This is also the case for the user casperdacrook, who posted a video on reddit showing Arthur slowly riding through a green-covered environment. Suddenly, Arthur begins to quietly sing to himself. The special thing about this is that the user had never seen this interaction before.

Casperdacrook has completed the game 10 times, but only after almost 500 hours did the user discover this scene. In the comments on the video, people respond with their own experiences and playtimes related to the scene.

In the comments, there are players who needed even more hours to discover this scene or for whom this scene is part of every playthrough.

  • jizzelmeister: I thought this was after the last update, because I just started a new playthrough and heard it for the first time after over 1000 hours of gameplay.
  • Bulldogfront666: I played ~550 hours. This has never happened to me.
  • Brief_Television_707: I even suspected it was ‘now I am a prisoner until my dying day’. I have also played around 500 hours and have heard it multiple times.

In the comments, there are also speculations about how to trigger this scene. Users assume that one should ride at a slow pace and that sunny weather is important for the scene. Being inebriated is also said to increase the likelihood that Arthur will start singing to himself.

Sony enters into a partnership with one of the largest MMO companies in the world: Is the Horizon MMORPG for PS5 coming soon?

The two CEOs of the companies – Jim Ryan from Sony Interactive Entertainment and Taekjin Kim from NCSoft – have come together to sign the “strategic partnership.” This fuels rumors of an MMORPG that is supposed to take place in the world of Horizon: Zero Dawn and Horizon: Forbidden West.

What is behind the partnership? As part of the partnership, NCSoft and Sony will “cooperate in various global business fields,” as stated in an official statement. This also includes the mobile sector.

The two companies benefit from each other’s expertise:

  • NCSoft can offer technological capabilities. The company has a lot of experience in the MMORPG and mobile sectors. Some of the best-known titles include Blade & Soul or Lineage II.
  • Sony is in a global leadership position in the entertainment sector. Accordingly, it could be that Sony’s IPs will serve as templates. There has long been a rumor, that an MMORPG set in Horizon is in development.

During the announcement, no specific games were mentioned that are in development through the collaboration. CEO Jim Ryan merely stated that the collaboration with NCSoft aims to expand the fanbase beyond the PlayStation console.

NCSoft is known for Blade & Soul among other things. The MMORPG will soon receive new servers:

Horizon MMORPG becomes increasingly likely

What kind of games could come? Last year, rumors surfaced that Sony and NCSoft are working on an MMORPG in the Horizon universe. The game is said to be in development by the team responsible for Lineage.

The MMORPG is expected to be released later than Aion 2. As the release of Aion 2 is anticipated for 2025, we might see the Horizon MMORPG in 2026.

Sony and the development team from Guerrilla have always been interested in incorporating a co-op mode into the Horizon world. However, neither Horizon: Zero Dawn nor Horizon: Forbidden West have included a multiplayer mode.

It may also be that NCSoft will ensure that some Sony IPs will be adapted as mobile titles. Sony specifically highlighted the mobile sector in its statement, and the expansion of the audience beyond the PS5 console could fit with that.

Sony and NCSoft will collaborate on several games.

Is NCSoft the right partner? NCSoft is one of the largest companies involved in the development and distribution of MMORPGs. One of its major successes is Lineage, which was released on September 3, 1998, and received a sequel in Lineage II.

Besides the Horizon MMORPG, new games for mobile may follow. Here, too, NCSoft has established itself well: With Lineage W, a mobile offshoot, the company has reportedly generated a revenue of 280 million euros.

Currently, NCSoft is working on the upcoming MMORPG Throne and Liberty, which recently revealed its first information about its in-game shop.

When could the first information be released? Since the release is still a few years away, we might have to wait some time for an announcement of the MMORPG. Should NCSoft and Sony invite for alpha and beta tests, it would be possible that we learn something about the game by the end of 2024.

However, this is merely speculation. In the end, we must wait until Sony and NCSoft are ready to unveil their new games. We are looking forward to seeing what other titles will emerge from this partnership.

Highly anticipated role-playing game from Capcom will be released in March 2024: Shows in the trailer what to expect

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 2 minutes

After more than 10 years, a popular role-playing game from Capcom gets its sequel. It now shows once again in a new trailer what to expect at the beginning of 2024. Among other things, the game will be released on Steam.

What kind of game is it and when will it be released? Dragon’s Dogma ll is the successor to the action role-playing game Dragon’s Dogma from 2012. It is being developed and published by Capcom.

It is officially set to be released on March 22, 2024. It will be available right away for all players on Steam, PS5, and Xbox.

The latest trailer is supposed to show again what players can expect in Dragon’s Dogma ll. We have embedded it here for you:

Dragons Dogma II Main Trailer

You can watch a longer showcase from Capcom with more information about the upcoming role-playing game on YouTube.

What to expect: Dragon’s Dogma ll promises in the trailer an exciting story set in a medieval fantasy world, which could especially delight fans of this genre.

For those who do not know the original from 2012, the trailer provides a good impression of the created world that you can explore freely in the game. Vast landscapes full of monsters and magic, ancient ruins, and medieval markets and castles can be seen.

Impressive dragons and mystical creatures that await you in this world can be seen in the trailer. Among them is a giant Medusa that turns her fleeing enemies to stone.

The short gameplay snippets shown depict your character in combat against the numerous opponents in the world. Among other things, you fight with sword and shield, the bow, the morning star, or ride directly on a dragon to defeat your enemies with fire.

How exciting Dragon’s Dogma ll really is, MeinMMO author Max Handwerk was already able to test. He shared his experiences with you here.

Fans can hardly believe that it will be that soon

What are the reactions? Especially fans of the first part are showing incredibly excited reactions (via YouTube). Many seem to be unable to believe that it is finally that time to play Dragon’s Dogma ll soon.

For instance, user adlerblack. writes that it is still surreal to think that this game even exists. He also emphasizes how beautiful it is and how close it feels to the original.

User muh.andianto seems to agree with this. He writes: “Pawn System, climbing monsters, spell animations, these are the things I love most about this game. And it looks like they have improved them in the sequel. The developers know their audience.”

We have gathered a few more reactions for you here:

  • JuliusCaesar103 writes: “Legends are made of this. It looks so unreal.”
  • TheShadowNovus writes: “Tears. Damn tears, man. Hearing the swelling music and Grigori’s voice again. I can’t believe that after 10 years, I’m finally getting a sequel to one of my favorite games of all time.”
  • kreivan168 writes: “I built my gaming PC just for this.”

„A year without a raid is a problem“ – Professional players are disappointed with WoW

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

One of the major guild leaders of World of Warcraft has criticism. Because Blizzard is bringing less content per addon – even if they claimed otherwise.

The race for the “World First” kill of Fyrakk in World of Warcraft ended a few days ago. Normally, this means a break of about 6 months before the next major patch arrives and a new raid is launched. But that probably will not be the case this time, because “new content” in this form will no longer be delivered by Dragonflight.

What is the criticism? On X, Maximum, the guild master and raid leader of the professional guild Team Liquid, stated that he is dissatisfied with the current plan of the developers. He says:

A year without a World First race is quite a piece of dog-[mess]. Fated is okay as an addition at the end of an expansion to spice things up a bit, but it is absolutely unacceptable to see that as a replacement for an entire patch or an entire season.

What is “Fated”? The Fated Raids system was first tested at the end of Shadowlands. In season 4 of Shadowlands, all raids of the expansion were updated to the current state and provided with special affixes. It was essentially a “Best Of” of the expansion, and players could revisit all raids. This was a good idea to bridge the content drought until the release of Dragonflight.

The idea of the “Fated” season was held by only a few developers who were given free rein.

Many find it bad that Blizzard is now taking this “Fated” season as a replacement for a patch X.3 patch.

“Shrinkflation” is indeed real: Many feel this way because the game director Ion Hazzikostas stated at BlizzCon that there should be no “shrinkflation” – meaning that addons will still have the same scope at their core, even if they are released at a faster pace.

For many, this is not the case if Blizzard now makes it “the rule” that each expansion only gets 3 raids. This was previously only the case in Warlords of Draenor and Shadowlands – both expansions known for their content drought and “quick disposal” toward the end.

This is how the community sees it: In the WoW subreddit, Max’s statement is being discussed and interpreted. Here too, there are clear opinions, especially in relation to “shrinkflation.” Many are disappointed with the upcoming Fated season. Here are some voices:

  • Halepeanyo: “(…) In the past, expansions had more than 3 raids! Battle for Azeroth had 4 full raids and one mini-raid, now we only get 3 per expansion (…)”
  • Bigmethod: “Yep, a 1-year gap without interesting content just feels sad.”
  • iCresp: “They should release a 3-boss raid or something. The Fated season can be a lot of fun, with a new pool of M+-dungeons and different raids, but I agree that it felt like they were doing everything right and now we get nothing. They are probably reallocating many resources to the development of ‘The War Within,’ but we definitely need content in the meantime, a year is just a long time. I’m not against a Fated season as long as there’s a bit more to it.”

Professional guilds are particularly suffering from this. A whole year without an exciting “World First Race” is also a strain for many large guilds and players who are otherwise looking for other eSports opportunities.

The latest raid was also a bit easier than other raids – at least on the lower difficulty levels.

Steam suggested 100 games that I should like – only 7 of them are bad

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

The gaming platform Steam has a relatively new feature that allows you to get game recommendations based on your preferences. MyMMO editor Benedict Grothaus tried it out and was positively surprised.

Finding new games that really excite me isn’t necessarily easy. I’m into the “weird” stuff that no one else seems to notice. The insider tip Against the Storm is one of those games that costs me many hours.

Of course, I also play big titles like Diablo 4 and co., and Baldur’s Gate 3 is my absolute favorite of the last few years. But even that role-playing game is actually more of a niche title with surprising success.

On Steam, there is now the option to create “discovery lists.” You can get directly to this feature via the “Your Shop” button. There, 12 games are suggested that should match your preferences.

And indeed: although I rarely rate anything or follow games on Steam, the platform knew my preferences surprisingly well. In many cases, it simply couldn’t go wrong.

Many games on my lists were even surprisingly cheap. If you want to save, we have more tips here:

Start video

Most games suggested by Steam are really good

Admittedly, Steam took the easy way out with the lists. Among my suggestions were plenty of titles that are simply generally regarded as “very good” among gamers, with corresponding ratings, including:

  • The Last of Us: Part 1
  • Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2
  • Hogwarts Legacy
  • Star Wars: Jedi Survivor
  • Dead Space
  • Call of Duty

Many of the games on the lists I have already played, just not on Steam, like Diablo 4, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, or Starfield. This means: Steam actually suggested exactly what I like. Even my somewhat special taste was satisfied with big titles.

Since I play a variety of games, my library represents almost every genre in some form. And indeed, there were good suggestions for every genre, such as: Grounded and Smalland (survival games), Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 (fighting games), or Dungeon Master and Dungeons 4 (building/strategy games).

There were a few more games that absolutely do not meet my taste but are undeniably good – Jagged Alliance 3, for example. I’m not listing all 108 games and expansions that were suggested to me in my 9 lists, but the overview should be enough for the impression.

Many gems that can easily be overlooked

What surprised me the most is the number of indie games that Steam suggested to me. Almost half of the games were small insider tips that even I, as an expert, would certainly have overlooked. Insider tip means: they are “very positive” or even “extremely positive” but have only a handful of players, usually just a few hundred.

Coral Island, for example, is a game like Stardew Valley or Sun Haven: building your own farm, meeting people, and forming relationships. Death Must Die reminds of the huge hit Vampire Survivors, only that you play with the powers of death.

In Ratopia, I am supposed to build a rat society, Thronefall is a strategy game from Germany that combines base building with defense. All these games ended up either on my wishlist or directly in my cart.

In addition, there were some indie games that unexpectedly became Steam hits, such as:

Also the crazy survival game Voidtrain was found in the lists:

Start video
Voidtrain: Survival title on Steam – Trailer

Steam (thankfully) doesn’t know everything about me

Among the games were some that would actually fit, but that I still don’t want to check out. The new Stellaris DLC deters with bad reviews, as does Cities: Skylines 2. I’d rather stick to “small” alternatives.

In some cases, the lists were completely off. For example, I was suggested several times games like the football manager or EA Sports FC 24. Why? No idea. Probably because someone tagged it as “strategy game.”

Racing games like F1 23, EA Sports WRC, or Forza were also included in the recommendations. But I don’t even have sports games on Steam, not even Rocket League. I simply can’t relate to that. This means for me: Steam doesn’t know all of my preferences after all.

If the games don’t appeal to you, they can easily be refunded:

von Marie Friske

On the one hand, it’s a shame because my lists don’t fully show what I want to see. On the other hand, it means that I could at least preserve some privacy – and that’s definitely worth something.

One way or another, I will probably use the “discovery lists” more often whenever I’m having a little slump. But that will likely take a while, because soon a hit that I absolutely love is coming:

Microsoft had a vehicle with over 60 USB devices, tortured Windows 98 and its own developers

Martin Vollert Martin Vollert Reading time 2 minutes

In an interview on YouTube, longtime Microsoft developer Raymond Chen reports how Windows 98 was made fit for the use of USB devices. Due to the USB death cart, equipped with 64 daisy-chained USB devices, blue screens were a daily occurrence on the test systems.

USB devices accompany our everyday lives. Be it the mouse, keyboard, or USB stick for quick data transfer. But this was not always the case. Only around the turn of the millennium did the technology slowly become standard for PC systems. Why the plug only works on one side, you can find out here.

This trend was also recognized by Microsoft, which took measures to ensure that its own Windows 98 worked seamlessly with USB devices. In this situation, the software manufacturer created the USB death cart. An office cart loaded with USB devices to challenge developers and their systems. Not every computer survived this encounter.

Raymond Chen guesting at Dave’s Garage

Microsoft’s USB death cart brought Windows 98 to its knees

What was this cart full of USB devices for? Before the turn of the millennium, USB was not yet an established standard for connecting devices to the Windows operating system. The setup was cumbersome and not always successful.

Virtually every product with a USB port required its own individual driver, which had to be installed. Today, we additionally have to deal with different colors at USB ports.

Devices with USB connections flooded the market and forced Microsoft to act. The software manufacturer was therefore compelled to make its then-operating system Windows 98 fit for the smooth operation of USB devices.

So Microsoft decided to repurpose an office cart and load it with various USB devices. This construct confronted Windows 98 systems, and they typically “did not survive” the encounter.

The result was blue screens and crashes of the computers. Chen said in the YouTube video on Dave’s Garage: “You plugged in that one connector into the test machine, and the entire USB infrastructure would go haywire.”

How did the developers go about it? The cart was connected to a test station with a single USB cable. The installed Windows 98 could not handle the flood of devices wanting to connect to the system and quit its service. Blue screens and crashes were the consequence.

After that, it was the developers’ turn to find and eliminate the errors in the program code. The game repeated itself until the operating system ran stably.

To push the debugging to the limit, the connection to the USB cart was also interrupted after a few seconds and the cable was plugged back in a moment later.Even then, there were USB cables with a thick plastic part that serves an important function.

If a computer remained stable without crashing or blue screens, the connected USB devices were tested for their functionality. This way, errors were gradually fixed until a stable state was reached. Raymond Chen humorously remarked about this long testing procedure: “Congratulations, it crashed for a different reason.”

What kind of devices was the cart loaded with? To fully utilize the USB interface, 3 USB hubs were daisy-chained. In total, 64 products were connected via USB. This included several mice, keyboards, printers, drives, and other peripheral devices.

A USB steering wheel also found its place on the cart and was simultaneously an entertaining way to maneuver the USB death cart. We owe this vehicle to the fact that USB could establish itself as a standard in Windows 98.

Steam: New strategy game resembles Frostpunk with trains, shows in 3 minutes what to expect

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 2 minutes

Last Train Home is a new real-time strategy game on Steam from THQ Nordic. In a nearly 3-minute trailer, the developers now show you what to expect at release.

What kind of game is this? The real-time strategy game Last Train Home presents you with an important but also oppressive and difficult task. Under your leadership, Czechoslovak soldiers want to find their way back home on board a train.

Not only does the icy setting remind the game of the popular title Frostpunk. Throughout the game, you will have to make important decisions and manage your resources wisely. Every decision you make strongly influences the fate of your comrades.

Your task is not only to accompany them safely on their journey but also to prepare them for emerging real-time battles to increase the chances of a successful return home.

Where can you play? You can play Last Train Home since November 28, 2023 on Steam. Currently, you can still get the game for 15% off until December 5, 2023.

In a trailer, you now get a closer look at the features that await you in Last Train Home:

Start video
Last Train Home Explanation Trailer

What to expect: In some gameplay clips, the trailer shows you how to safely transport your troops through enemy territories.

To do this, you will engage in combat with your soldiers and give them orders on various maps. Your goal is to keep as many soldiers alive as possible. In the process, you will also acquire important resources and information for your further journey.

If you are not currently on a battlefield, you will travel by train through the icy landscapes of Russia. You can use this time to get to know your soldiers and learn about their stories and strengths.

Similar to Frostpunk, one of your biggest enemies in Last Train Home is the harsh climate and the complicated conditions after a difficult time.

Keep an eye on not only your soldiers but also your resources and the train

Many challenges await you on your journey that must be considered to ensure the survival of your people:

  • Keep an eye on your soldiers and unlock new abilities
  • Send troops to explore the surroundings
  • Form new alliances and trade resources
  • Distribute the tasks on the train, but be mindful of breaks for your soldiers

In addition, it is of course your task to maintain your train, repair it if necessary, and equip it with new equipment to prepare for the upcoming dangers. As seen in the trailer, you can equip your train with all the essential cars.

A sleeper car, a kitchen, a medical car, a storage car, and a car full of guns to defend against enemies.

It is important to keep your train running as much as possible. Because stagnation could mean death in this case.

A player in Skyrim eliminates over 5,500 NPCs and receives an epic bounty on his character

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

The now 12-year-old Skyrim continues to enjoy great popularity among players on Steam. A reddit user has now announced that he has killed over 5,500 NPCs in the game and has accumulated an in-game bounty of a staggering 267,000 gold.

What has the player killed? According to his own statement, amelix34 has killed everything that could be killed. The posted stats are as follows:

  • Killed people: 3,310
  • Killed animals: 693
  • Killed creatures: 401
  • Killed undead: 947
  • Killed Daedra: 55
  • Killed automatons: 98

However, not one of the kills was from behind. amelix34 was fair in his playthrough, facing his opponents head-on. The total kill count is 5,504.

Is everything dead in the game world now? In Skyrim, not all NPCs can be killed: plot-relevant NPCs like Jarl Elisif in Solitude or Mjoll the Lioness, a potential companion, cannot be slain. amelix34 has also stated that he chose not to kill two NPCs specifically: the old dragon Paarthurnax and the mount Shadowmere.

Presumably, it was these surviving NPCs that imposed the excessively high bounty of 267,000 gold on amelix34’s character in light of the massacre. This means that every guard that keeps respawning will chase the character until the restart in a new game upon first sighting.

Is Skyrim still played today? Bethesda’s role-playing game from 2011 remains highly popular even today. The Special Edition of the game that was released a bit later currently sees a 24-hour player peak of over 26,000 on Steam Charts. At the release of the news, the game recorded about 24,000 current players.

With these numbers, Skyrim surpasses even Bethesda’s latest game Starfield. The space adventure was released about three months ago and currently holds a 24-hour player peak of about 21,300 players. At the time of the news release, the current player numbers were around 17,000.

  • Desperate Measures
    • Guardians must dive deep underground in Lightfall to reach the “Veil”. They receive support from Caiatl’s troops in an epic battle at the gates of the Ishtar facility.

Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City

Soon there will be more activity in the Dreaming City and new things to accomplish. Time to finish the old ones first, like the many hidden chests this week. You just need to take a sip of “Queen’s Leaf Tincture” from your inventory, and the corruption will reveal new accesses to you.

  • Petra Venj can be found in the Rheasilvia area in the Dreaming City. The entire zone is experiencing the 3rd curse week. The 4th Ascendant Challenge is up for mastery.

All sources for top loot in Season 23 of Destiny 2

More power level comes automatically: There will probably be no more grinding for power levels in Season 23. The hard cap on power level in Destiny 2 has remained unchanged at 1,810 for several seasons. Thus, no player is forced to achieve top performances every week but levels up the artifact level automatically during all activities.

You should still plan a little ahead. Because the dungeon starts on December 1. It will have increasing difficulty per encounter, so it makes sense to at least quickly advance your artifact to take advantage of all benefits.

If you are currently not at the hard cap of 1,810 yet, we have listed the best sources for top loot for you here.

This top loot brings your power level up to 1,810:

  • Top Raid “Crota’s End“ (+2)
  • Top Dungeon “Warlords Ruin” (+2) (Starts on December 1 at 6:00 PM)
  • Legacy Raid Rotation this week: “Last Wish” (+2) – farmable
  • Legacy Dungeon Rotation “Duality” (+2) – farmable
  • Legacy Exo Mission “Seraph’s Shield” (+2) – farmable
  • Score 100,000 points in “The Twisting” (+2)
  • Earn 200,000 points by completing Dusk activities (+2)
  • “Eternity’s Trials”: Reach at least 250,000 points or more (+2)
  • Complete the Exo mission //knoten.ovrd.AVALON// in the ETZ (+2)
  • Weekly Lightfall campaign mission on Legendary (+2)
  • Play “Restart Subzone” on Neomuna
  • Complete ritual activities in the Vanguard, Gambit, or Crucible
  • Hawthorne’s clan quest: Grant 5 Commendation cards to other Guardians (+2 and 7 upgrade cores)

If more sources arise in Season 23, we will update this immediately.

Steam users are piling up Diablo 4 with positive reviews, reddit users suspect a targeted bot campaign

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

For some time now, Diablo 4 has been available on Steam and has even been free to play until today. However, in recent days, an overwhelming number of positive reviews have come in, which cannot all be attributed to the free play period.

What has happened recently with Diablo 4? Diablo 4 is currently in the second season and the winter event is scheduled for December 5th. Just in time for the sales events around Black Week, you could play the game for free until December 28th.

Due to the free play period, Diablo 4 experienced a significantly increased player count, allowing players to get their first impression without having to pay. However, with the increased player numbers, a wave of reviews came in starting from November 21st, the vast majority of which were positive.

Which reviews are under criticism? On reddit, a whole series of positive one-word reviews have been particularly noted:

It is striking that the reviews share identical content. In addition, all accounts are relatively new and claim similar playtime.

reddit user nodlimax also linked one of the affected accounts, which supposedly had over 2,366 hours of playtime in the past two weeks (Steam). However, since a day only has 24 hours and two weeks only 14 days, the maximum playtime could only be 336 hours – assuming the account user has no human needs like sleep or hunger.

At the time of this news, we could no longer find the reviews shown in the reddit post on Steam ourselves. We assume that Steam has deleted them by now.

What could be behind the reviews? reddit user nodlimax suspects a targeted bot campaign behind the reviews. With this, Diablo 4’s publisher Activision/Blizzard might be trying to boost the game’s popularity during the free weekend.

The colleagues from VG247.com, on the other hand, suspect that this is a targeted test campaign: There are companies that offer influencing Steam reviews as a service. The reviews for Diablo 4 could therefore be intended as a template for potential future customers.

Why have positive reviews shot up even without bots? Currently, users can nominate games for the Steam Awards. Those who do so receive a special Steam badge. This badge can be upgraded by leaving a review for the respective game.

The current status of user reviews for Diablo 4 on Steam. Increased positive reviews are not a bad thing. However, such a spike as seen here usually has a deeper reason.

The start of the award nomination phase was on November 21, 2023. This aligns with the rise in review numbers. Furthermore, it should be noted that only people who like Diablo 4 nominate it. Therefore, it can be assumed that a nomination leads to a positive review.

While the reviews discussed on reddit were likely indeed created by bots, the large number of new reviews is primarily due to the Steam Awards and the free weekend.
