The cleric is the least popular class in Baldur’s Gate 3 – by a very large margin. A professional knows why that is.
In Baldur’s Gate 3, you have a diverse selection of classes to immerse yourself in the adventure surrounding Mindflayers, the Absolute, and a lot of heavy decisions. However, not all 12 classes are equally popular. Shortly after the launch, Larian published statistics showing which class is the most popular and which is the least popular.
While the paladin was the most popular class, on the other end of the spectrum was the cleric – by far the least played class. Even compared to the second-least popular class, the druid, the cleric is far behind, as can be seen in this statistic:
The cleric is far behind – even behind the druid.
But why is that? An RPG professional reveals why clerics are so unpopular.
Josh Sawyer, one of the creative minds behind the RPGs of the “Pillars of Eternity” series, knows the reasons behind the unpopularity of clerics.
In my experience, it has nothing to do with Baldur’s Gate 3 or 5E [the D&D rule set] itself. People just generally don’t create clerics or priests as main characters in fantasy RPGs. They’ve always been the least played class in every fantasy RPG I’ve created.
The reason seems to be that many perceive a cleric or priest more as a “supporting character” – a supporter who stands by the protagonist. The idea of a supporter who blesses the group from the back and doesn’t fight on the front lines is simply not appealing to many.
In response, Sawyer also said, “Yes, I’m confident that is the reason. Support is something for other people.”

Many see a reason for the unpopularity of clerics in Shadowheart. She is not only one of the most well-known companions, but also one of the most popular. After all, she is a pretty half-elf who can not only deal damage but also heal and has an interesting backstory.
Since Shadowheart is a cleric herself, the class itself appears to be less exciting. Because if you already have a cleric in the active team, it hardly makes sense to play a cleric yourself.
Did you make a cleric out of your character? Or do you understand why many don’t play this class?
Copper is a new resource in Minecraft 1.17. We reveal where to find copper and what you can do with it.
With the Patch 1.17 “Caves & Cliffs” came many new objects into the world of Minecraft. One of them is copper, which is required for a number of new items and also has quite interesting properties otherwise. We reveal everything you need to know about the new ore.
Update: The guide has been updated for Patch 1.20 as of 31.08.2023.
Where can you find copper? Copper can generally be found anywhere in the overworld (not in the Nether or the End). It naturally appears between levels -16 and 112, but most commonly in the middle of this range (levels 47 and 48). Up to 6 copper ore veins spawn per chunk (an area of 16×16 blocks), consisting of groups of 1 to 16 blocks.
Copper is particularly common in the beach biome, especially along stony coastlines.
How do you best farm copper? Since copper is not hard to find due to its high distribution, there are several methods to collect copper ore.
You can simply keep your eyes open, as copper can also appear on the surface and on the sides of mountains. When exploring caves, you will also frequently find it.
However, this is only worthwhile if you want to collect large amounts of copper and want to also gather additional resources – such as iron, gold, and stone.
To mine copper ore, you must use a pickaxe made of at least stone. You will then receive raw copper, which you can smelt in the furnace into copper ingots for further processing.
Copper oxidizes over time and changes color – if you don’t prevent it.
What can you build with copper? With copper, you can craft two new items that serve a purpose both in exploring the world and in decorating and protecting your property.
Lightning Rod: Three copper ingots stacked vertically craft a lightning rod. This can be placed to catch lightning in a 32×32 block area during a thunderstorm. The lightning is automatically redirected to the lightning rod, preventing it from striking elsewhere and possibly igniting blocks. At the same time, the lightning rod emits a redstone signal when lightning strikes.
Telescope: Two copper ingots stacked vertically and one amethyst shard on top create a telescope. This can be used to view objects in the distance and fix the camera on a specific point, which will then be magnified.
With the telescope, you can see zombies in the distance before they overwhelm you.
Additionally, 9 copper ingots can also be used to create a copper block, which can then be further processed – for example, into stairs or tiles.
If you want to prevent your copper from oxidizing, you can combine the blocks with a honeycomb to wax the copper and stop the oxidation.
What is oxidation? Copper loses its natural brown color over time when processed, the longer it exists in the game world. Gradually, all copper blocks change color, first developing green spots and eventually becoming completely turquoise.
Therefore, constructions made of copper blocks change color over time. If you want to use copper as decoration, you should stock up on honeycombs to limit the oxidation of the blocks.
Are you already diligently crafting items from copper? Or do you have little use for the new material?

Football professional Erling Haaland revealed in May 2023 that he is a gamer but didn’t want to disclose what his favorite game is. He found it embarrassing. Many speculated it might be Fortnite, but now we learn that his heart beats for Minecraft .
In what context did Haaland talk about gaming?
Haaland broke a goal record in England in May 2023. In his 31st Premier League match, he scored his 35th goal. He surpassed Andy Cole and Alan Shearer.
In an interview with Sky Sports, he was asked which goal record he would break next. But he said he wouldn’t think about that. He wanted to go home now and play video games.
When asked which video game he plays, he laughed (via reddit): ‘I can’t say. It’s too embarrassing.’
In the discussion about which game it could be that is so embarrassing that he doesn’t want to talk about it, people primarily suspected the online shooter Fortnite, which is very popular among footballers.
He also has a hot career behind him with Fortnite:

Now it has come out: The star of Manchester City was recently a guest on the ‘ImPaulsive Podcast’ by Logan Paul, along with YouTuber and boxer JJ ‘KSI’.
Haaland revealed that he used to enjoy watching KSI’s FIFA videos and other YouTube content.
When asked about his gaming preferences, Haaland finally reveals that he enjoys playing FIFA but also Minecraft. He loves it, said the 23-year-old.

Yes, I also do these normal things. I play FIFA. I actually also play some Minecraft with my friends. I love it. Just having the headset with the microphone on. They are sitting at home in Norway, I’m sitting in England and we just chat about basically nothing.
The secret seems to be out. Haaland is not a Fortnite player like many other footballers. He enjoys playing Minecraft with his childhood friends and goofing around. It helps him unwind and relax.
The role-playing game Baldur’s Gate 3 (Steam) gives the player extreme freedom. A user from reddit uses this freedom to indulge in his penchant for mass murder. He has eliminated 583 NPCs and mobs, but even he has principles and knows limits.
What is the player doing?
The reddit user “caufenkamp” has set out to create a collection of NPC corpses in Baldur’s Gate 3.
As he shows in a reddit post, he has stacked all possible NPCs from Act 1 and 2 in a camp and sorted them by species. He presents them as “Act 1 and 2 completed. My victims so far.”
He has sorted the 583 corpses in stacks by species in the screenshot, but when he doesn’t spread them out and stack them, he keeps them in a “teddy bear” container, as he writes.

3 Tips to Reduce Your Carrying Weight in Baldur’s Gate 3
This is how the player does it: Every mob or NPC that the player kills, he brings back to his base. He gives the tip that you can simply click on the corpse and send it to camp.
For “particularly heavy” bodies that cannot be lifted despite a high strength value, he uses the bear form of the druid to get around the restriction.
This is particularly bizarre: The player says: He stores the corpses in a “stuffed teddy bear” that functions as a box (via bg3.wiki). The container can be found in Act 1, it contains a note that says: “Always hold him tight when you miss Mommy, my dear. And don’t leave the camp. I’ll be back soon.”
When asked that it’s pretty crazy to hide so many corpses in a bear likely dropped by a small child whose village was destroyed, the player says: “At least the teddy finds a meaningful use this way.”
Does this playstyle pose a problem? Yes, the player says: On one hand, these are far from all the NPCs he has killed. Some just disappear.
On the other hand, the piles of corpses are now causing significant lag. When he has unpacked all the victims, Baldur’s Gate 3 turns into a slideshow. If he finds even more victims in Act 3, the game will surely crash.
Armored Core 6 is a ruthless game by FromSoftware where you must engage in battles with your mech. However, the start can be rocky. Therefore, we present you with 6 tips you should know at the beginning.
What are these tips? Armored Core is not like the other games by FromSoftware where you can create powerful builds to make it easier to get through missions. The game encourages you to learn from your mistakes, study your enemies, and improve without the help of complicated builds.
The game is merciless, and those who want to excel as newcomers will quickly reach their limits. Therefore, we offer tips to ease your gameplay and reveal small details that could have a significant impact on your progression in the story. Now, let’s move on to our tips.
Start video
FromSoftware shows Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon in the overview trailer
Tip 1: Take your time
You have probably seen the action-packed trailers of Armored Core 6 and noticed how fast and spectacular the battles look. And even though you want to rush into the action, you should take your time.
The game is ruthless and does not forgive mistakes. If you enter a battle recklessly and without strategy, you will quickly bite the dust. The game does not give you a timer, so you can take as much time as you want and explore the world. You should do this too, as you can find hidden items.
Tip 2: Watch your energy
Energy, like in other Souls games by FromSoftware, is your mech’s stamina. If you completely exhaust it in battles, you can be quickly brought to your knees by enemies. In this state, you will suffer massive damage. Therefore, avoid unnecessary dashing around and keep an eye on your bar. Those who manage their energy well can stay in combat longer and remain deadly.
Tip 3: Use your scanner
As you roam through the vast areas of Armored Core 6, you will notice that many enemies are hiding, waiting for you to fall into their trap. However, if you use the scanner, surrounding enemies in your radius are marked. You can even see them through walls. This is very handy, as it allows you to surprise enemies who were actually trying to surprise you.
Tip 4: Be mindful of which boost you use
In Armored Core 6, there are different modes for accelerating your mech. You can gradually and lightly boost your AC while consuming little energy. You can make quick boosts to dodge projectiles or turn your mech into a superhero and fly across the map.
The first two modes are very practical, but the superhero mode is quite dangerous, especially when entering a battle. Only use this when you are on exploration missions, or you will lose too much energy and could be thrown off balance upon landing.
You will encounter many enemies head-on during your missions, some of whom can be dealt with without much fuss. Depending on how you approach, enemies may be in an unsuspecting state. In this state, they take massive damage from you.
Even though your mech is a conspicuous construct, you can be stealthy in many situations and ambush your enemies to defeat them faster.
Tip 6: Use rockets for small enemies
Not so relevant in Act 1, but much more important in later missions. Pay attention to which weapons you use against which enemies. Rockets are a strong option if you want to defeat many smaller mechs at once. You can target multiple enemies and then unleash a hail of rockets. This way, you can save ammunition for the weapons you should use against bosses or tougher enemies.
These were the most important tips for the beginning. Do you have any other tips you would like to recommend to readers? Then please write them in the comments!
The tactical shooter Valorant is actually considered the next big game in eSports, but now there is a huge setback. The US team “The Guard” is seen as a fan favorite. They earned their promotion to the 1st league in 2023. However, on August 29, they were horrified to learn via Twitter that their promotion is not happening.
What is going on with Valorant?
After Overwatch has fallen so badly and there is little happening with Fortnite, Valorant is considered “the next hot eSport title” that could catch up with CS:GO, LoL, or DOTA 2. Especially since Riot Games has gained a lot of experience through League of Legends. Both Elon Musk and Ben Affleck are fans.
The top US league, VCT America League, was supposed to get an 11th member in 2024: The team “The Guard” had qualified for the 1st league during 2023. They earned their “Ascension” at tournaments in the challenger scene.
But to the shock of fans, Riot Games has announced: The team will not promote. No other team will follow: The league remains with 10 teams.

Why is The Guard not allowed to promote? According to Riot Games, the team “failed to meet the deadline to agree to certain agreements after seven months and numerous rounds of communication.”
Therefore, The Guard will not play in the 1st league in 2024, and no other team will promote.

Players find out on Twitter, are bitterly disappointed
What is the reaction? The players of the team are horrified; they did not realize how bad their situation was.
Players say they are devastated. All the hard work and the sacrifices were in vain. It hits them particularly hard because they had no influence on the decision.
Only an hour after Riot Games’ announcement, the players shared their thoughts via Twitter:

As reported by dotesports, team members are pleading with Riot Games to give them a chance. But they seem to remain firm.
The organization also seems rather helpless (via twitter): Riot Games’ judgment is said to be “disappointing and unexpected.” This sounds strange when no contract was signed for 7 months, indicating there were serious issues.
This has brutally halted the meteoric rise of a team. The players seem to be looking for new teams.

In Call of Duty: Warzone 2 the voice chat is an important element for communication among the soldiers. However, if it stops working, a fix must be applied quickly. We will show you how to solve the problem.
Voice chat not working – Here’s the fix: First, you need to determine whether your headset or microphone is connected at all. If you have confirmed this and you still cannot be heard or hear others, the issue lies in the settings.
To fix the issue, follow these steps:
Open the settings
Now go to the “Audio” tab
Scroll down until you reach the section with the “Voice Chat”
Enable the voice chat if it hasn’t been done yet
This is what the settings look like on the PS5
Under the voice chat settings, there are additional options that you should consider if your audio input and output still do not work.
These mainly include:
Voice chat playback device
Microphone
The system in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 automatically selects a connected device. However, it may happen that no active device is activated despite the automated system. Go to the settings mentioned above and select your devices manually. This way, you can ensure that your headset and microphone are also selected.
Proximity chat not working: The proximity chat is a topic in itself. You can also find the setting in the voice chat settings, and it can be activated and deactivated there. The problem, however, is that the system apparently works well primarily for American players. In our tests, it performed poorly or not at all, even though the setting was activated.

Albion Online is an MMORPG from Germany that recently shared positive news about player numbers. However, they have now announced the end of the Crystal League Championship. This comes as a surprise to everyone and meets with much incomprehension in the community.
What kind of league was it? In the Crystal League, teams of 5 or 20 players compete for victory in an arena. Both teams start with 150 points, and the team that first falls to 0 loses. Through the regular Crystal League, tournament points can be earned to qualify for the Championship.
This tournament is then accompanied by an official shoutcast, and players can earn rewards. Generally, special skins and in-game currency are at stake.
What was announced now? The last official championship will take place on September 16 and 17. After that, it’s over. The reasoning states that players can continue to duel in their own custom matches. Furthermore, the regular Crystal League will no longer award Season Points to shift the focus to major guild activities.
This statement particularly bothers fans of “Small Scale” PvP, meaning fights in small groups.

Albion Online in 2 Minutes: How does the sandbox MMORPG play on mobile?
Players find no logical reason for this
How are the players reacting? They are mostly confused. The league was a place many players enjoyed using because typical arena PvP takes place there. With the elimination of Season Points and the cancellation of the Championship, the Crystal League loses much of its appeal.
Players also fail to understand why this happened at all:
The league does not offer any prize money that could be saved.
The livestream could have been canceled without needing to delete the entire event.
Fans of arena PvP will not suddenly participate in larger battles in the game world, but rather withdraw from the MMORPG.
Player DaSoop writes in the forum: “If this change to the Crystal League comes, then the 5v5 fans lose their goals and interest in Albion. This means that 5v5 fans will not play Albion anymore.”
The feedback in the forum is overall very negative regarding the planned changes.
Currently, the game reportedly has 300,000 daily active players, which the developers revealed in August on Twitter. This makes it one of the largest MMORPGs ever.
Recently, Albion Online has also gained players thanks to releases for Android and iOS as well as new servers in the Asian region. It is even more curious that they are removing a popular tournament and not offering a replacement for this player group.
What are your thoughts on the changes to the Crystal League? And are you active in Albion Online or is there something bothering you about the MMORPG?

New World receives its first expansion “Rise of the Angry Earth” on October 3rd. MeinMMO editor Jasmin Beverungen was allowed to take a sneak peek at the new features and reports to you why the expansion is particularly worthwhile for returning players.
With Season 2 “Blood of the Sands” the development team behind New World temporarily closed off the area “First Light”. The reason given was Artemis and her earth creatures that have overrun the area. With “Rise of the Angry Earth” the gates open again.
And what can I say? The area is barely recognizable!
I was able to explore the new area on my own at a play event in America. On the edge of the area rises an impressive archway that serves as a transition into a completely new world. The new area “Elysian Wilds” looks like I accidentally landed on an alien planet.
Furthermore, I was able to test a long-awaited feature from the community: “Rise of the Angry Earth” finally introduces mountable animals that allow us to move faster through Aeternum.
About the author: Jasmin Beverungen is a freelancer at MeinMMO and feels at home in many MMORPGs. She has been following New World since its presentation at gamescom 2018, but has since turned her back on the game.
A mix of coral reef and alien biome
After passing through the gate, I suddenly felt like I was in another world. It was nighttime and suddenly all sorts of crazy plant species were glowing everywhere. The development team explained to me that they equipped the living beings with bioluminescence that shows its effect at night. The plants, fungi, and animals glow by themselves.
I couldn’t get enough of the different plant species, which are said to have been inspired by coral reefs. Everything is colorful, loud, and glowing. I even forgot that I was being attacked by aggressive plants at the gate that almost cost me my life.
But I couldn’t stop staring: there was something new to discover at every corner, and the forests and wooden huts from “First Light” have now been replaced by strange plant formations and ruins. Accordingly, the new area seemed both familiar and strange at the same time.
In the strange area, there were new types of enemies that I observed from afar like in a zoo. mammoths, chameleons, and gorillas roam the land and are equipped with elemental attacks. The animals can attack with fire, ice, earth, or lightning attacks. Which element it is only reveals itself during the attack of the creatures.
Start video
New World: These enemies come with the first expansion
The renovation of “First Light” aims to concentrate player numbers in starting areas
The development team revealed to me that they decided to renovate “First Light” for a specific reason. With the expansion, there could have been a new area, but that would have caused players to drift further away from the starting area.
Amazon Games wants to bring players back closer to the starting areas and consequently decided to create a completely new environment from “First Light”.
Moreover, the world as we know it from New World continues to evolve. I really like this in terms of storytelling because it means that a new area is not just tacked onto the next. Rather, the areas that one has long turned their back on receive a new incentive to explore.
Not into PvP? No worries!
If you stopped playing New World out of frustration because you were in a losing faction, I can reassure you. The area is not part of the PvP fighting and cannot be conquered. This way, you can explore the area completely undisturbed.
This way, you can admire the new flora and fauna of the area just like I did.
I encountered the enemies from the “Elysian Wilds” again in the new expedition. The expeditions are the dungeons in New World that can be completed with a group of up to five players. Together with my group members, I dove into the new expedition, which resembled a zoo.
Between the bosses, we fought through hordes of animals made up of the same enemy types as in “Elysian Wilds”. So, we battled fire gorillas and carried large boulders onto their pedestals to open locked doors and continue down the dungeon’s path.
The first boss Kurok was a gorilla with fire, ice, earth, and lightning attacks and has stuck in my memory due to its novel mechanics. I won’t spoil the solution to the enemy for you, as you should try to take on the huge gorilla yourself.
Kurok is an enemy that requires a lot of tactics.
But what I can tell you is: we needed about seven attempts until we, as a united veteran group, defeated the boss! I haven’t had that much fun with New World in a long time.
The second boss Mahantaram, however, was down on the second attempt. I found the boss’s mechanics were not as elaborate as the first, although this one was a mammoth shooting lasers.
The expedition reminded me a bit of the Garden of Origins, which is also an expedition in New World. But with its flashy look and the wandering animals, it offers enough differences to not be considered a doppelgänger.
Amazon Games fulfills players’ great wish for mounts
I explored the new area not on foot, but on a mount. Amazon Games initially explained the absence of mounts with a strange note, but finally, the rideable animals are being introduced to the game.
After about six hours, you should be able to obtain one of the coveted mounts that can be summoned at any time. There are three different animals on which players can ride:
Horse (available from level 25)
Wolf (available from level 45)
Lion (available from level 65)
The animals can be given their own names. There are skins that give the animals a unique appearance. From the pink pony dream to the armored warhorse, everything is included.
During my play session, I could unfortunately only test the horse, but on an external screen, Senior Producer Katy Kaszynski showed me what other colors are available for the animals and how they move. The wolf seemed a bit “clumsier” in its movements than the other two, but that does not affect its running speed.
Start video
New World: Trailer shows the new mounts
We receive the mounts through a quest in which we must defeat certain enemies and collect plants. Afterwards, we tame a horse that is ours from then on.
I found summoning the mount extremely pleasant since it appears right beneath me. I can still remember situations in The Witcher 3 where the horse Roach was hanging in the roofs of houses. Such an annoying situation is avoided due to the instant spawn.
In various missions, where I had to race against the clock on my mount on different routes, I was able to get a feel for the new pony. The animals are controlled as I would imagine a real horse: a bit cumbersome, but agile in curves.
The jumping over small edges went quite well, my horse moved fluidly on rocky bridges. If the edges are too big, however, the horse will refuse to jump, and I had to dismount briefly to call it back up onto the elevation with the button press. Additionally, the running speed is slightly reduced on bridges and settlements.
There are three different types of mounts.
Over time, the mounts can even be leveled up. I noticed a significant difference when I saw a horse sprinting at the maximum level of 50. The level can be increased by feeding the mount special food.
When asked if racing against other players would be possible in the future, the development team had to laugh. At the moment, the developers are focused on optimizing the riding experience as much as possible. But who knows, in the future, it might be possible to hold whole tournaments.
The expansion of New World will bring many players back
“Rise of the Angry Earth” creates many incentives for players who have turned their backs on the MMORPG to return to the game. There is a new “old” area, mounts, and a lot of new content. Those who stopped playing due to being part of a weaker faction are in luck: the new area cannot be conquered and allows you to explore it undisturbed.
For newcomers, the expansion is only worthwhile to a limited extent. The big advantage is that more players are once again present in the starting areas of New World thanks to the revamped area.
However, new players cannot experience the expansion immediately, but must first play the rest of the game to be at the appropriate level.
Additionally, New World attracts not only with the new expansion but with further seasons. I am curious to see what content Amazon Games will come up with for the future. Perhaps next year we can host horse races and swim in large bodies of water.

Riot Games has come up with something new in League of Legends: The fourth-placed teams from Europe and the USA will compete against each other on October 9 in a decisive match for the last free spot at Worlds 2023. However, things are looking worse for the LEC representatives. In addition to unfair competitive disadvantages, one of the EU candidates is now facing serious injury concerns. Only a miracle can help.
What kind of game is this?
Riot Games has introduced some innovations in 2023 to improve eSports (via lolesports): With one innovation, they want to further fuel the long-standing feud between Europe and the USA, whose communities have been teasing each other for a decade about who really has the better players.
While China and Korea send 4 teams to Worlds, Europe and the USA are only allowed to send 3.
The respective number 4 of both Western leagues will face each other on October 9 at 6 AM in South Korea for the last free spot at Worlds.
But it increasingly looks like the USA has an unfair advantage.
Find out how well you know LoL:

7 Facts about LoL that only true veterans know
USA has 2 months to prepare – Europe’s team isn’t even confirmed yet
Why is it looking worse for Europe? One problem is that the leagues play on different schedules:
The US league LCS has been over for a few weeks: The Golden Guardians finished fourth and have had since August 13 to prepare for the final match. They have almost 2 months to train in South Korea, relax, and get ready for the decisive match. The move to South Korea should be easy for the team: After all, 3 of the 5 players are from South Korea.
In Europe, however, the “Season Finals” only started on August 19 and will last until September 10. At the moment, it’s not even clear who will represent Europe for the last Worlds spot. This will only be decided on September 2. The winner will have only about half the time to prepare for the duel with the Golden Guardians instead of 2 months.
Who from Europe can still qualify for Worlds? On September 2, it will come down to a duel between Schalke successor BDS and the highly decorated, and troubled team Fnatic:
The winner of the match will at least be third and is directly qualified for Worlds.
The loser of the match will take the unfortunate fourth place and must face the Golden Guardians in the finals.
Fnatic top-laner out due to injury – hand surgery
What makes the situation even more difficult? The top-laner of Fnatic, Oscar “Oscarin” Jiménez (20), has injured his hand and will surely miss the critical match for third place in the LEC.
He had already played in the last series against XL only with significant limitations, which went to the 5th match. Now, however, he must undergo surgery and will miss the match against BDS.
If Fnatic loses the match on September 2 without their starting top-laner, Europe would send a team to the final qualifying match that fields a weakened top-laner and enjoyed a month less preparation time than the opponents.
Fnatic needs a miracle now
The absurd thing is that none other than the top-laner “Wunder” (24) is set to replace the injured Oscarin, who was actually already sorted out because he seemed to be fed up with “the loser team Fnatic”. However, Wunder’s contract would expire on September 26 – he wouldn’t even be part of the team for the crucial match on October 9 against the Golden Guardians.
If Fnatic wins, Europe sends a team to the qualifying match that can’t even defeat a weakened Fnatic – that would also be a tough situation.

1 month of preparation, 1 flight to South Korea, 1 match and right back home?
Why is the match so brutal? The match in October will be critically discussed on reddit: Two teams would fly to Worlds in South Korea to determine in a single match, in a best-of-5 series, who gets to play at the World Championship and who flies back home.
It is generally seen as brutal and logistically unreasonable.

Rohat (20) and Fibii (17) are two up-and-coming talents in the German Twitch scene. For a long time, there were rumors about a relationship between the two, which they only confirmed with their breakup. Now the 20-year-old regrets having talked about it at all.
What is the relationship about? There had been rumors about the two young aspiring streamers for some time. They always insisted that they were just good friends. Only at the end of June 2023 did Rohat and Fibii make their relationship public by announcing their breakup.
However, the breakup did not seem to have happened in good faith. Rohat said at the time that he wanted nothing to do with “that person” (via TikTok). Fans of the streamer apparently took it upon themselves to leave hate messages for the 17-year-old. Even fellow Twitch streamer Reved intervened and demanded: “Leave the poor girl alone.”
In an emotional stream, Rohat has now apologized to his ex-girlfriend.

“As if I got the comments”
What does the streamer say? In a short stream on August 29, Rohat explained to his viewers why they haven’t seen much of him on Twitch lately. The 20-year-old reports personal and family problems. Besides the breakup, other things have been going on with him.
He streamed 10–12 hours a day, then went for walks alone at night and cried, Rohat said. However, he now regrets his behavior:
Looking back, it was one of the worst things I ever did that I said on stream that […] we broke up. […] She received so many hate comments, and it was as if I received the comments.
While other content creators often claim they cannot be held responsible for their fans’ actions, the streamer takes responsibility for his community. He publicly apologized in the stream for the hate he caused. That is one of the things he would undo if he could.
At least: At the gamescom 2023, where Rohat was with Amar, he had the opportunity to exchange words with Fibii. Everything is fine between the two now, the streamer said.
A breakup among streamers can get quite complicated, especially when played out in public. This was also the case for the former number 1 on Twitch, Félix “xQc” Lengyel, who is having a public feud with his ex-girlfriend Adept.
On Netflix, you can watch a new mini-series since August 24 that promises a lot of action and is currently number 1 in Germany.
What kind of series is this? “Who is Erin Carter?” is a new action series by Jack Lothian that has been available on Netflix since August 24.
Currently, “Who is Erin Carter?” is ranked 1 in Netflix’s internal charts “Top-10 Series in Germany” and is competing against the latest seasons of “Ragnarök” and “The Blacklist” as well as the documentary series “Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard” (as of August 30, 2023).
Additionally, you can watch “Who is Erin Carter” in just a few days, for example, over a free weekend, since it is a mini-series with only 7 episodes. An episode lasts between 44 and 54 minutes.

Trailer for Season 1 of Who is Erin Carter?
What is the series about? In “Who is Erin Carter?” it is about a woman named Erin Carter, who lives in Barcelona with her husband and daughter and works as a teacher. One day, she and her daughter become involved in a robbery at a supermarket.
To protect her daughter from one of the armed robbers, Erin goes on the offensive. A shot is fired, and the criminal suffers a serious injury, but he is sure he has recognized the “true identity” of Erin Carter. Shortly thereafter, he dies in the hospital.
Erin Carter’s life increasingly spirals out of control, and her surroundings begin to distrust her and question who she really is. Meanwhile, Carter must protect her family from new threats.
A Lot of Praise on Social Media
How is the series received? Quite well. On Twitter / X.com, there are some users who have positive words for the mini-series by Jack Lothian.
RekomenByAsrul: “It started with silly and dry British humor. Just when you thought you knew where the story was going, you are confronted with Kill Bill vibes of hard action and violence (via Twitter).”
SennottDeirdre: “Couldn’t stop watching. Just very well done from start to finish. Perfect ending for the summer series. The female characters are just great. The jokes between the action sequences are priceless. Wonderful cameraman (via Twitter).”
Georgeviews: “Absolutely fantastic. It was fast-paced and convoluted – many crazy, unrealistic fights – but it’s worth watching (via Twitter)!”
katyjon: “I loved ‘Who is Erin Carter’ on Netflix. Watched it in 2 nights (via Twitter).”
socraticpunch: “I’ve seen 4 episodes so far, really intelligently written, well filmed, and wonderfully cast. Well done! Thank you for the good entertainment. Highly recommend this series (via Twitter).”
“Who is Erin Carter?” apparently impresses mainly with fight sequences and action, and due to its brevity, it is perfect for viewing in just a few days.

Destiny 2 has been thrilling players for years with a variety of enemies and challenges in its stunning worlds. However, a change has directed the gameplay of the loot shooter in a new direction. Instead of introducing new enemy races, it opts for specialists and a different type of boss enemy with unimaginable power.
Who is the new Megaboss in Destiny 2? His name is “The Witness.” Destiny 2 introduced him at the end of the “The Witch Queen” DLC for the first time. At first glance, he is just a smoky-haired space Gothic guy with big eyes and doesn’t look very threatening at all. What can he actually do? After all, the Guardians in Destiny have defeated gods.
But The Witness is different. Guardians are just ants beneath his boots. Annoying appendages that disrupt his plan and can simply be crushed.
At the start of “Lightfall,” we boldly interrupted his “conversation” with the Traveler. He then “squished” a Guardian with just a wrist motion and sliced his mind into small pieces.
Previously, he incapacitated Rasputin, the powerful Warmind, and his space network without even the slightest amount of effort.
And even the Vanguard fleet (even if it only consisted of 9 ships) burned through his power. Not a single ship even came close to him.
So where before hordes of enemies plagued the world of Destiny 2, now a single, all-dominating presence steps onto the scene. And that is intentional, as Bungie has now explained.
Experience The Witness in action for the first time in this trailer and see what he does to Guardians:

Destiny 2: The game needs new tricks and “The Witness” has them
A new enemy race would be way too boring
That’s why the Pyramid ships are empty: Players in Destiny 2 have long been asking for a new enemy race for the loot shooter. But aside from the “Tormentors” from Lightfall and the Suppressors in “The Final Shape” in 2024, there will be nothing.
We want to focus on the big threats that will make a difference… they will be Hive Guardians, they will be the Tormentors, they will be Suppressors. Things we bring to the battlefield to make it more interesting and dynamic.
explains Joe Blackburn, Game Director of Destiny 2
Changing the base enemies simply has no significant impact on the overall experience in Destiny 2. They would just be more interchangeable enemies that you have to shoot in the head and would not challenge you. It would be boring.
Instead, Joe Blackburn points out that, for example, the addition of Vex Wyvern in the DLC “Beyond Light” was a much better use of the design effort.
So instead of focusing on introducing new boring standard enemies, Bungie is investing its resources in crafting charismatic and impactful enemy types. They should make gameplay more dynamic and fascinating and shake things up for the players.
This especially includes “The Witness.”
The Witness is a being and a unique type of enemy in Destiny 2
The game needs new tricks and The Witness has them
This vision of “The Final Shape” is a nightmarish paralysis of reality based on the abnormal conception of The Witness.
It intends to reduce the universe to its most elemental state by annihilating everything weaker than “The Witness.”
His conviction: “Your fear causes pain. Pain is the truth. Our goal is its end. Only at the end are we free!”
It is an approach that at first glance appears esoteric, but at the same time presents a captivating motivation for players. Or as Bungie explained:
When The Witness faces any character[/Raid boss] in the Destiny universe, The Witness wins. The Witness against Riven? The Witness wins! The Witness against Atheon? [The Witness wins!]
In a world where players frequently encounter various enemies that are easily defeated, “The Witness” sets a clear example:
A single overwhelming enemy can be just as captivating as a complete army of adversaries. And he simply doesn’t need an army to annihilate everything.
The climax of his story will take place in the raid of the DLC “The Final Shape.” However, Bungie also has good news for all solo players and non-raiders.
This is how the story will unfold in “The Final Shape”: Bungie has already revealed some initial details about how the story will progress in the DLC “The Final Shape.”
While the epic confrontation with The Witness will indeed take place in the raid of “The Final Shape,” there is still good news for those who do not participate in raids: You will be able to experience the thrilling resolution of the story in all its glory, including the possible triumph over The Witness. Provided, of course, that we Guardians emerge victorious.
Additionally, Joe Blackburn stated that the closing sequence will be more than just a conventional cutscene and how the campaign will be structured.
While previous campaigns like “The Witch Queen” and “Lightfall” each involved eight missions, “The Final Shape” will start with seven missions at launch.
The eighth mission will only be unlocked for all players once the challenging raid has been successfully completed.
Furthermore, this boss encounter will differ from all previous ones, such as Savathun and Calus from the past two DLC campaigns.
They have carefully weighed the decision of how “The Witness” will be integrated into the game to ensure an exciting and fulfilling player experience. However, one thing remains unchanged: The future of the universe and the burden of responsibility remains, as always, in the hands of the Guardians. All Guardians.
Share your opinion on this in the comments. Do you welcome Bungie’s approach of moving away from boring standard enemies toward “specialist units”? And how successful do you find The Witness? Do you believe he can live up to his great role as a meta-being despite his cute big eyes and the fused eyebrows?
Furthermore, weapons in Destiny 2 are becoming more interesting. Damage alone is no longer enough because damage and utility simply make being a Guardian more enjoyable:
Crusader Kings 3 is currently part of a strategy game sale on Steam. MeinMMO author Schuhmann has spent nearly 1,200 hours with the medieval simulator and says. The reviews on Steam are delicious and so evil.
This is Crusader Kings 3 on Steam:
Crusader Kings 3 was released on September 1, 2020, on Steam and has 92% positive reviews. The game has received 2 major expansions, 2 country expansions, and 2 text DLCs.
The base game is currently discounted by 30% and costs €35, while the “big box” is available for €60. The sale runs until September 4, 2023.
Crusader Kings 3 is a mix of strategy game and a role-playing-like simulation: You take on the role of a medieval head of family and lead the fortunes of a dynasty, deciding who marries whom and who manages which lands. In doing so, you murder, guile, love, and intrigue. When your character dies, you take on the role of the hopefully perfectly raised and bred heir.

Crusader Kings 3: Trailer
Crusader Kings 3 is a story creation tool
What is so remarkable about the game? Crusader Kings 3 does not follow a pre-defined plot but is a sandbox where players experience their own adventures: You can take on any ruler role in the game and continue their fate, whether as an old man in Ireland or as a young knight in Spain. If you want, you can also play a matriarch in Africa fighting for the preservation of her culture. This too historically happened in our world while Vikings invaded England.
Crusader Kings 3 gives players the chance to achieve their self-chosen goals in various ways: The player can act as an economic manager, expand their lands, and increase the flow of gold or they can build a strong army and subjugate others. They can rise to power through assassination, lies, and intrigue or smartly marry off their children to secure the power they desperately desire.
The game even allows the player to shape their own “game rules”, such as founding a new religion that permits marrying one’s sister or mother. Crusader Kings 3 is often associated with the theme of “incest”, though this is only a part of the game.
Fans share in the Steam reviews how they experience Crusader Kings 3
This is what the Steam reviews say: How differently the enthusiastic fans of the epic experience their time in Crusader Kings 3 is shown by the exciting and often malicious reviews on Steam:
„I had a complete royal house murdered after the head of the house defeated me in a chess game“ – People tend to be vengeful. The game features a “Nemesis” and “Feud mechanic” to symbolize such blood matters.
„If you want to kill your children while marrying prisoners who had your parents murdered, this is the right game for you“ – Especially the inheritance in Crusader Kings 3 is tricky because uncontrolled inheritance can splinter kingdoms and the player can lose lands. However, normally children can also simply be disinherited. Nevertheless, child mortality in Crusader Kings 3 is terrifyingly high, as some second-borns seek the life and inheritance of their older brother.
„After 40 hours, you become an authoritarian eugenicist – Would recommend it 100%“ – The game encourages breeding offspring with positive traits with others to create the “Kwisatz Haderach”. With modern moral concepts, this is hard to reconcile.
„I was once poisoned by my own son. So I fathered a bastard and destroyed my own bloodline. The last descendant was still a child, I kidnapped him and beheaded him. 10/10 would do it again“ – Some just want to see the world burn.
„It’s like Saarland here“ – That’s just mean.
A German player with over 2,500 hours in Crusader Kings 3 processes a traumatic experience:
Curse her! I just brought my duchy under control, the revenues are flowing, the clergy is pleased with us, and my vassals are cowering intimidated. Now all I need is a suitable male heir and my kingdom can embark on a future with flourishing landscapes.
One morning I wake up and find a dagger in my chest. And more – I am dead! Murdered by my malevolent, useless sister. I had married her off to some random count for the needed military alliance. How could I possibly have guessed that this nasty piece of work would betray me so?
Now said sister is my heir, married off to a stranger, childless and in her 40s, my house is doomed. Game over and pure frustration! And now? Directly a new game, because I won’t let myself be dispatched so.
Steam review by Doctorzuckerbrot
I have now spent nearly 1,200 hours in Crusader Kings 3 and can recommend it to anyone who has a fondness for stories and the Middle Ages. However, one should watch one or two videos beforehand, as it does take some time to get warmed up to the game.
Even if you have spent thousands of hours in Civilization 6, Crusader Kings 3 is a different experience and significantly more “personal”. Although it seems so: You do not lead a modern nation like France or England, but you control your character and have a squabbling, scheming family backing you up, who would love to stab you in the back as soon as you show even a hint of weakness: Many want to ascend the throne over the player’s cold dead body.
As you can see from the reviews, much of the game takes place in the minds of the players and how they interpret what happens to their dynasty.
Here I have described my experiences in Crusader Kings 3:
The Hollywood star Ben Affleck made a surprise appearance at the Valorant Champions 2023. There, the 51-year-old not only admitted to playing himself but also expressed disappointment over the latest nerfs in the tactical shooter.
What a performance! Ben Affleck, known from movies like Good Will Hunting, Gone Girl, and of course as Batman in the DC Universe, made a surprise appearance at the e-sports event Valorant Champions 2023 over the weekend.
Batman plays Valorant? Apparently yes, because in a brief conversation with Shannon Williams, who voices the duelist Jett, he demonstrated his knowledge of the current meta. “He could be a Jett main,” declares his son, to which Affleck replies: “Yeah, but then they nerfed Jett. That’s the problem”
Jett is one of the agents who received a heavy nerf with patch 7.04, which went live on August 29, 2023. Her entire skillset has been reworked, making her abilities less effective and more rarely used. “Batman” seems anything but pleased with these changes.
The encounter was shared on Twitter by Jett’s voice actress. We have embedded it here:

Who does he play instead? In a spontaneous interview, the actor did not want to commit to a main and instead claimed to be somewhat “unfaithful”: “I am currently a KAY/O main and I think my other main is Raze. I’m a bit promiscuous.”
A young Ben Affleck, however, could also have been imagined in the role of Chamber.
In the upcoming Batman: The Brave And The Bold, Ben Affleck will no longer be seen in the role of the hero, but he is set to appear as the Dark Knight in The Flash one last time. And the director has much in store:
In Pokémon GO the big global GO Fest took place over the weekend, where you could catch a lot of monsters. Of course, the shinies were not to be missed. Our MeinMMO author Franzi shows you which shinies she caught, and we want to know from you how great your haul was.
What event is it about? Over the weekend, one of the biggest events of the year took place in Pokémon GO: The global GO Fest. People from all over the world could participate, with and without a ticket, and encounter a lot of monsters.
But especially the shiny specimens play an important role for many trainers on such days, which is why some specifically embark on a shiny hunt. I also set myself the goal to catch up after my initial shiny failure on Saturday, on Sunday.
Which shinies I caught in the end and how satisfied I am with them, I will tell you at the end of the article. Before that, we want to know how many shinies you caught over the two days.
How many shinies did you catch?
What is so special about shinies? The most sought-after Pokémon in the game are the so-called shinies. These usually differ visually from their normal form and are generally not so easy to find in the game. This makes them special, and many players collect them.
How many shinies were you able to snag? During the GO Fest, you could encounter many Pokémon in the wild and in raids, even without a ticket, most of which have a shiny form. Moreover, monsters like Kommandutan, Viscora, and also the two Schalellos celebrated their shiny debut in the game.
In addition, there was an increased shiny chance for ticket holders, which pleasantly surprised shiny hunters. Many players proudly shared their catches on social media already. But how many shinies were you able to snag on the two event days? Vote in our subsequent survey and let us know in the comments which one you are most excited about.
Increasing shiny rate towards the end of the event
How many shinies did I catch? I also wanted to catch shinies on both event days. I particularly had my eye on a shiny Rayquaza and the new shinies. However, since I worked over the weekend and kept you updated in our live ticker during the GO Fest on both days, the shiny hunt became a bit more difficult.
I spent most of the time at my desk. Anyone who has followed the live ticker knows that Saturday was quite disappointing for me with only 5 shinies. However, Sunday was able to shine in terms of shinies for me again. On this day, the shiny rate seemed to have gotten better towards the end of the event, and I was able to catch another 10 shinies. Thus, I come to a total of 15 shinies.
All the shinies I managed to snag can be seen in the following image gallery:
How satisfied am I with that? I am very satisfied with my haul, especially since I played most of the time from my desk. I am especially pleased about my shiny Rayquaza, which was probably the highlight of the event for me. But my cute mini-Schlurp and the shiny Schalellos are also among my favorites of the event.
How satisfied are you with your shiny haul? Were you hoping for more shiny Pokémon? Or was the rate just right for you? And which of your new shinies is your favorite? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss it with other trainers.
How I felt about the GO Fest this year and what I wish for the future regarding the event, you can read here:
The action RPG Diablo 4 has been on the market for almost 3 months. A player has invested over 500 hours into the game and has reached max level with all classes. MyMMO reports on his experiences.
Diablo 4 as a full-time job: Some fans have fulfilled their dream – at least in terms of playtime. User “Risp_91” reports on the discussion platform Reddit that he has played Diablo 4 for 489 hours since release (via reddit.com). That would be about 40 hours a week.
During this time, he has brought all 5 classes to the maximum level of 100 and took the time to post a detailed conclusion on Reddit about all classes with rankings.
We summarize his ranking and what he has to say about each class here for you.
Diablo 4 presents new Season 2, coming this fall – Blood & Vampires
Diablo 4: User ranking of the 5 classes
What does his ranking look like? Here are the 5 classes in his ranking:
Hunter
Wizard
Druid
Barbarian
Necro
What does the user say about the classes? We list his conclusions about the individual classes here in the order in which Risp_91 presented and played the classes in the thread.
Wizard – 8/10 points
The main class of the user, with which Risp_91 had the most fun. Bosses were a problem and compared to the other classes, the damage from the wizard is lower. The fun skills and combination possibilities make the wizard the best class for him – if it weren’t for the damage.
Risp_91 writes that he collected his experiences with the wizard before the first season.
Hunter – 9/10 points
After the user started his hunter, he first realized how slow the wizard was. According to Risp_91, everything fits together with the hunter – many things can be combined, unique items are not needed for strong builds, and mobility is top-notch.
The user believes that all classes should be more like hunters when it comes to combining skills. That is simply outstanding with the hunter.
Druid – 7/10 points
With the druid class, Risp_91 had particularly bad experiences in the early game; otherwise, he would have ranked the class higher – solely based on the strong endgame builds. Additionally, he tried fewer builds because he wants to try the class again in a later season.
However, the user has one addition: with the Malicious Heart “Inevitable Power” from Season 1, the druid would be a 10/10.
Necromancer – 5/10
For Risp_91, the necromancer was a “chill class”. He rampaged through the endgame with the Bone Spear build and played the class when he wanted to relax. It was too easy for the user, hence the 5/10. Other builds, however, were too weak, and he only found Mendeln’s Ring for minion builds at level 99.
However, Risp_91 also writes that the hearts from Season 1 made it much more fun – in Season 1, the necromancer is a 10/10 for him.
Barbarian – 6/10
The barbarian class also annoyed Risp_91 in the leveling phase. Overall, the user had problems having fun with the barbarian. Only at level 70 did he switch to the popular Whirlwind build, which significantly improved the situation.
However, Risp_91 complains about the poor heart aspects of Season 1 for the barbarian. Here he would even downgrade the ranking to 5/10 points.
