The MMORPG Lost Ark is not necessarily known for its nice raid community. Many find it difficult to get started in Lost Ark. However, for the mother of a user, the entry was so difficult that the son sought help on reddit – and actually found it.
What was the Reddit post about? The Lost Ark subreddit is usually filled with topics that focus on raids. Topics such as which class deals the most damage and which one should not be taken at all are often discussed there.
A post from user Kihakiru caught attention over the weekend. It was titled: “Can anyone help my mom through a raid?” He further stated that his mother is physically limited and therefore plays with a special mouse that has all buttons for control. This makes raiding not easier.
He would help her himself but no longer actively plays Lost Ark. He says: “I would hate it if someone got mad at her during a raid. My experience with people in MMOs has not been the best.”

This is the best post I have ever seen in this Reddit
How are the raiders reacting? Surprisingly positive. Initially, there are many obvious troll posts. The creator also could not avoid the occasional typical “Your mom” joke. However, many users wanted to help the user’s mom.
Some of the Reddit raiders were skeptical whether it was really the mother. It was assumed that the creator wanted to obtain a free raid carry. However, in more and more comments from Kihakiru, it became clear that he did not even know which raid it was about.
Eventually, people gathered who wanted to support the mother and who were on the same server as she was. Leading the charge was user hijklm7, who ultimately stepped in as a helper.
Was help provided to the mom? Later that same day, hijklm7 posted again under the thread and attached screenshots as proof. He helped the mom with the Oreha dungeons in hard mode and with Argos. He also explained to her how she could craft her next armor and assisted her with further guardian raids.
He further stated that the mom actually just wants to continue playing the story and is now really looking forward to going to Rowen and someday later to Elgacia. Furthermore, they found out that he lives only two blocks away from the work of the help-seeking mom. “What a small world, I really had fun.”
The conversation between the helper and the creator
Even more users want to help, fans celebrate the action
Does the story continue? After both the paladin and the creator proved how happy mom was with screenshots, even more people want to join the action.
Users like rotinegg, feeltherainbow, and ghost quickly join the idea:
“Message me if you need me. I have a gunslinger at 1570 and some supporters I can gather.”
“I am on the same server, I’d be happy to teach her Kayangle [the newest raid boss in Lost Ark] if the timing works out.”
“I would also participate, same server and gear score 1590, just let me know.”
Also outside of the users offering their help, the post is celebrated by many. Several users write that it is the sweetest post this Reddit has ever seen. Others thank the diligent helpers: “I’m so glad hijklm7 took the time to brighten a stranger’s day.”
What do you think of the whole action? Would you have helped the mom yourself? Or do you have a completely different opinion on the subject? Have you perhaps experienced something similar yourself? Feel free to write to us in the comments here at MeinMMO, we look forward to your stories.
A player purchased the MMO Star Citizen (PC. $559 million crowdfunding) 8 years ago, but is now demanding a refund because the MMO has not yet been released. The developers sent him a long letter explaining why his claims are unfounded. However, the money was refunded as well.
This is the situation with Star Citizen:
Star Citizen began as a project that was supposed to be released in 2014. Over the years, however, the budget, team, and vision of the project grew, so it still has no release date even in 2023.
Some players are tired of waiting and are frustratedly demanding their money back. There is even a specific subreddit for it, “r/starcitizen_refunds,” which is solely dedicated to players requesting refunds and how to approach it skillfully.
The process of such a “refund” can now be seen in an example.

Who wanted their money back? A reddit user named “BlueBackground” shares his story on reddit:
He bought Star Citizen 8 years ago
He played for 274 hours. However, he notes that he spent much of that time waiting. The game is “so tedious.”
He requested about $250 back – but notes that he also bought ships and had already sold them to limit his losses.
Player receives 5-page letter explaining why he has no claim for a refund
What is special about this? The player states and also shows screenshots (via Reddit) that he received a 5-page letter detailing why he has no claims to get the money back.
Your claims are unfounded, and we do not owe you a refund for the reasons we have laid out below. Nevertheless, and without any obligation to do so, we offer to refund you a portion of the transaction.
Developers say: Star Citizen was released in Early Access in 2016
The letter that the user partially quotes lists:
Star Citizen has been in Early Access since 2016
Patches are released quarterly
Usually, we refund money without questions for 14 days, even extending it to 30 days
In the case of the player, he had played for 274 hours – much more than the 40-60 hours one typically spends on a game
Moreover, he had agreed to the terms of service a dozen times, which explicitly state that he agrees to support the development of the game with his pledged money
Despite this, he will be refunded and the account closed – as a gesture of goodwill.
Although the letter only mentions a “partial refund,” the player claims he received the full amount back.
Player finds it “ridiculous” that it actually worked
This is how the player reacts: The player is perplexed. He did not expect to get the money back.
He humorously remarks that the developers stated in the letter that the game had already been released:
Honestly, I am shocked that I received the refund. I was sure I wouldn’t get it – or at least not like this.
He had to laugh quite a bit while reading the email. He thanks the people in the /refund-reddit for all the help.
At another point, he says he finds it “ridiculous” that he got his money refunded.
How is this being discussed? People in the subreddit believe that the refund now shows that Star Citizen is apparently changing its approach and demonstrating respect for the legal situation.
For a long time, it was considered very difficult to get a refund from Star Citizen. On reddit, people believe the chances are higher for a refund if one refers to special regulations for the UK. The company has “fear” of them.
In Diablo 4 Season 1 starts in just a few weeks, and if you think you shouldn’t prepare, you’re mistaken. We will show you 6 things you should do before the start of Season 1 so that you are well prepared for the release.
When does Season 1 start? Blizzard informed its fans about Season 1 in its last Dev Stream. It will take place on July 20, 2023, and is called “Season of the Treacherous”. Players will receive a new mechanic and be able to chase items. You can find more information about this in our overview.
Before the release, you still have enough time to prepare and secure advantages for yourself and your upcoming season hero. Therefore, we will show you 6 things you should do beforehand.

Did you miss the trailer for Season 1? No worries, here it is:
Start video
Diablo 4: The Official Announcement Trailer for Season 1
1. Uncover the complete map
Why should I do this? Blizzard has emphasized in its Dev Streams multiple times that your progress regarding the areas discovered on your map and your Reown will be transferred to your season heroes. So if you have a hero with such progress before the start of Season 1, you will only need to log in with it at the release of Season 1.
The system will then recognize your progress and save it account-wide on all upcoming heroes. This way, you will start with a fully visible map and a generous bonus in your stats.
What does it bring me? The same game applies to the statues of Lilith as with the map. Once you have uncovered and activated all of them, the accumulated bonuses will apply to all heroes that you own on your account or will create in the future.
Why should I do this? Diablo 4 offers a basis for build crafting through its talent tree for each class, but the real work and the important fine-tuning begin with Paragon. Therefore, if you want to participate in the leaderboards when Season 1 starts, it would be beneficial to have already familiarized yourself with the system of Diablo 4.
If you don’t feel like building your own builds, we have compiled a suitable tier list with endgame builds in English that you can easily adopt:
Why is your horse important? Diablo 4 offers a vast world, and exploring it on foot can be a pain. For this reason, it is advisable to unlock your mount before the start of Season 1.
What does it bring me? The story of Diablo 4 offers a lot of cool cutscenes and excitement, but not everyone is eager to replay the story at the start of the season. Therefore, it is advisable if you unlock the “Skip Story” feature. You can do this by having completed the story once on any character.
This way, you save yourself an unnecessary journey and can fully concentrate on the new content of Season 1.
Is this so important? You can’t take any equipment into the season realm, but here it’s much more about fashionable heroes. If you break down items at the blacksmith before the season, you can unlock new transmog options so you can shine with your cool gear from the very start. It’s not a must, but you also don’t want to defeat demons in shabby rags.
Do you have any other points that we haven’t considered in the list? Let us know in the comments!
Johnny Depp was seen as the evil wizard Grindelwald in the first two parts of the Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts, who seeks to establish the reign of wizards over humans aka Muggles.
In the continuation of the series, Johnny Depp was supposed to take over the role again. However, due to the public legal dispute with his ex-wife Amber Heard, the actor had to leave the project (via Moviepilot). Nevertheless, he received a huge paycheck.
Here you can see the trailer for the 3rd part of the “Harry Potter” spin-off featuring Mads Mikkelsen:

16 million dollars for a useless scene
Johnny Depp had already shot one scene. Then he was removed from the project. For this one scene, however, the actor receives a total of 16 million dollars, as reported by Hollywood Reporter. That is the fee he would have received had he completed the entire shoot.
The reason Warner Bros. has to pay the full salary to the actor is the contract with Johnny Depp.
This is a so-called “pay-or-play contract“, which obliges the employee to pay the full sum even if the actor is dismissed in the meantime.
Additionally, there is no “morality clause“ in the contract that voids the payment should the actor exit the project for moral reasons.
This is especially frustrating for Warner Bros., considering that this one scene will not even be seen in the finished film, as all further Grindelwald scenes are played by another actor.
As a successor to Johnny Depp, Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal, James Bond) is engaged to continue the role of Gellert Grindelwald.
On April 7, 2022, the “Fantastic Beasts 3: Dumbledore’s Secrets” with the new cast premiered in German cinemas.
However, it is still not even certain whether there will be a fourth part of the series. Due to the weak box office numbers of the third film, it currently looks rather bleak.
On the set of another film, a colleague annoyed Johnny Depp so much with the topic of gaming that the actor subsequently teased him:
The upcoming MMORPG Tarisland reminded many MMORPG fans of World of Warcraft. Now the developers say they want to offer a “completely new gaming experience.”
Visually, Tarisland with its colorful and comic-style design reminds many MMORPG fans of World of Warcraft. This is also reflected in the classes of the title. There are warriors, paladins, mages, hunters, priests, and a class with two glaives reminiscent of demon hunters. Only the bard is a bit of a special case.
Additionally, Tarisland features an open game world and offers various mounts. There are also dragons that you can ride on. Furthermore, there is PvE in dungeons and 10-player raids, as well as PvP in special arenas and battlegrounds. Selected players already got a first impression during beta tests in June.

Tarisland does not want to be a WoW clone
What do the developers say? In an interview with the online magazine vg247, the producer of Tarisland has now said that the game wants to be a new IP and provide a new gaming experience.
Tarisland is an original MMORPG with a fresh IP. Whether it’s about the narrative content, gameplay, or commercial design, we are committed to providing a completely new gaming experience. The game is currently still in the early stages, and there may be significant adjustments before the final version is released. We ask for your patience as we want to deliver even more exciting original content to our players.
Furthermore, the timing of the announcement trailer had nothing to do with WoW no longer being playable in China after Blizzard’s partnership with NetEase ended, says Tarisland Producer Yangmin. The date had already been set in advance.
Companies like Blizzard, which come from abroad, need a Chinese partner to be able to distribute games in China. The end of Blizzard’s partnership with NetEase is accordingly advantageous for Tarisland.
A YouTuber recently showcased gameplay of Tarisland and was able to excite western players with it:
The nightmare of every anime fan is “recap” episodes without new content. But why do these annoying episodes exist at all?
Anime fans sometimes have a hard time. While streaming platforms like Netflix or Disney+ usually release their series “all at once”, anime are most often still released on a weekly basis and are tied to the airing on Japanese free TV.
It takes 3 months, 6 months, or – for particularly large anime – even longer for a series to be fully available.
It’s particularly annoying when a week is wasted by a “recap episode” and you get nothing new to see. But how does this actually happen?
Recap episodes – The scourge of modern anime
What is a “recap” episode? “Recap” is the abbreviation of the word “recapitulation” and means something like “summary” or “review”. In such an episode, the plot of the previous episodes is summarized and the events are explained again in fast-forward.
Usually, such an episode contains no new scenes at all, just mostly clips and audio from the previous episodes, sometimes supplemented by a few written texts. Occasionally, there is also a new narrator voice that summarizes and accompanies the events.
These “recap” episodes do not count as a full-fledged episode of the storyline due to their content. A recap episode that summarizes the plot of an anime up to and including episode 7 is usually named “Episode 7.5” to clarify that it is not episode 8.
Sometimes these episodes are also referred to as “specials” and contain short interviews with the voice actors of the protagonists, who provide some background information about their work and preparation for their role.
Many fans see recap episodes as a nuisance or even a waste of time, as they contain no new information and do not advance the storyline.
Even the successful anime “Oshi no Ko” had to unexpectedly include a “recap” episode with episode “7.5”.
Why do these recap episodes exist? This is primarily due to the production of anime. If an anime series is to be aired from January to March, that does not mean that the entire series has already been fully produced by the airing date of the first episode.
In many studios, anime is often “stitched together with a hot needle” and is often only completed a few days before the airing.
This makes the production of anime series particularly susceptible to illnesses. If one or more animators are absent, it is often difficult to compensate for it with the rest of the team.
Often, however, there is a contractual obligation to fill a specific broadcast slot with the airing of an episode, in which case a “recap” episode is quickly put together using existing material.
Moreover, animators and illustrators often suffer from a very high workload.
This is further complicated by the fact that illustrators and animators in many cases do not receive a fixed hourly wage for their work, but are compensated differently. Often there is a payment “per frame” or less frequently “per second of footage”.
This creates a dilemma for the animators, who want to create particularly many frames (quantity brings money) but also want to meet the high demands of elaborate series and simply deliver good work (quality brings little money and costs a lot of time). Combined with high time pressure, the potential for problems is large.
That they often work as freelancers and have to constantly seek new jobs increases the pressure even more.
An exciting video on the subject has also been shown by Ninotaku:

Are there “good” recap episodes? However, even if this is more the exception, there are indeed “planned” recap episodes. This is especially often the case when it comes to longer series.
Such planned recap episodes are rarer, but they can often be recognized by their production effort and often still contain some scenes of new footage.
One of these rather positive examples is the “Death Note” episode 26. Although a large part of the content of the episode clearly meets the “recap” criteria, the episode also serves as an explanation of what knowledge the detective and the police have gathered so far about the incidents and what conclusions can be drawn from it. Nevertheless, the episode contains new scenes and logically follows the end of the previous episode.
In most cases, however, recap episodes are due to problems in the production process.
So the next time you are annoyed by a “recap” episode, always remember: That was probably a conscious decision to ensure the quality of the next episode.
You love your Nintendo Switch? Nintendo warns of a trick that can damage your console. And your games can also be damaged.
Most of us have probably done this: Blowing hard into the card slot of the Switch or through the cartridges before inserting them into the console. Gamers have been doing this for years.
Now, Nintendo has warned against using the popular “blowing technique” on the Switch or the games. This increases the risk of damaging your games or even your Switch.
Blowing introduces saliva into the cartridge and game console
What is the problem? Blowing into the cartridges or the card slot of the Switch can allow saliva to enter the hardware. This saliva can then stick and cause the internal parts to rust or corrode.

In the worst case, you might damage the cartridges or the slot of your Switch. Nintendo itself explains: The best way to clean the slot is with a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and avoid saliva splashes.
Additionally, you should avoid poking around in your card slot with a cotton swab. Nintendo writes about this (via twitter.com):
Inside the console’s card slot is a terminal to read the cards. If you clean the slot with a cotton swab and it gets stuck, it can break. And if you insert a game with a defective terminal, it can get stuck. Do not touch the inside of the slot.
If you have been using cotton swabs or like to blow into your cartridges, you should stop doing that if you want to take care of your console. By the way, with another “trick” you can also use an Xbox or PlayStation controller on your Switch:
In China, people regularly attempt to smuggle hardware across the border. Once again, someone has been caught trying to smuggle 306 processors.
A user in China was arrested for attempting to smuggle hardware components across the border. In total, this case involves 306 processors that he hid to smuggle past customs. This is not the first case of smuggled processors in China.
306 processors were hidden all over the smuggler’s body
How was he caught? On June 29, the man was arrested while attempting to move from Macau to mainland China (via tomshardware.com). Customs officers, who were observing incoming travelers, believed that the man was “walking in an abnormal manner”.
During the subsequent search, the officers discovered 306 processors wrapped in plastic and tape distributed over the man’s waist, legs, and back. Additionally, the processors weighed a total of about 15 kg, which burdened the carrier. A single CPU weighs on average 50 grams.
His strange posture and gait had drawn the attention of customs officers. If he had walked “normally”, he might not have been noticed, although that is not certain. Because the Chinese border authorities are currently paying close attention, as such smuggling cases are on the rise.
There are now high monetary and prison penalties for smuggling, yet individuals regularly attempt to smuggle electronic components such as processors, SSDs, or even graphics cards.
What kind of processors are these? The Chinese authorities did not comment on the processors, but it can be seen in the pictures that they are CPUs for the LGA-2066 chipset. Therefore, they are no longer cutting-edge or current CPUs.
It happens regularly that people are caught trying to bring hardware past customs.
Recently, someone was caught trying to transport 84 SSDs in an electric scooter to China. The local authorities were also amazed by the ingenuity some people have.
During the boom of Bitcoin and Co., some individuals even smuggled expensive graphics cards. In one case, the Chinese authorities caught a gang with loot worth over 200,000 euros. This also shows the great demand for such graphics cards at the time:

Shako is one of the most sought-after items in Diablo 4. Especially players who have been playing Diablo for many years talk about it. MeinMMO explains what lies behind the item that doesn’t actually exist in Diablo 4 under this name.
What is Shako?
When someone talks about Shako, they mean the Harlequin Crest. The name “Shako” comes from the designation of the item type from Diablo 2, from where the helmet originates.
The Harlequin Crest is a unique item and is one of the rarest items in Diablo 4. It can only be found in Hellfire chests and dropped by enemies starting at level 85.
The drop rate of the Harlequin Crest is so low that only a few of you will ever see it.
What makes Shako so good? The Harlequin Crest has fixed properties as a “Unique” that it offers you. You always receive more life, cooldown reduction, resource generation, and a bonus to all attributes. What makes Shako so desirable is the legendary effect:
With these universally strong properties, Shako is the best helmet for almost any build in Diablo 4. As long as you don’t need another special headpiece, the Harlequin Crest is probably the item that outshines every other legendary effect for you.
Diablo 4: Merchants are more useful than you think
“Uber Uniques” are a controversial topic
The Harlequin Crest belongs together with 5 other items to the so-called “Uber Uniques”. These are items in Diablo 4 that drop so rarely that players even consider them a rumor. The other 5 Uber Uniques are:
Players are wondering why such absurdly rare and powerful items exist in a loot game when the chance of obtaining them effectively does not exist. Most consider the Uber Uniques to be a “carrot in front of the nose,” which, however, has the opposite effect.
The items are so rare that one does not even want to farm them directly. Instead, one prefers to focus on something else. But when they drop, the joy is immense. Perhaps that is precisely the reason behind the items. If you want to hunt for the uniques, our overview can help you:
A new feature will soon be introduced in World of Warcraft. It could be immensely useful for you – or also quite annoying.
In recent years, World of Warcraft has tried to become increasingly accessible for a wider segment of potential players. Improved support, such as for gamepads and other controllers, settings for color blindness. With patch 10.1.7, another feature from the plan is coming: a ping system.
What is a ping system? In most games, a “ping system” refers to the ability to quickly point out a circumstance with a button press and inform your team. In MOBAs or shooters, you can often indicate where you see an enemy or where an area needs special attention with a key press.
Usually, these pings are context-based, meaning they vary depending on what you saw and under what circumstances. In shooters (like Overwatch), you can ping an enemy to show their location. However, if that enemy has just disappeared from sight, the ping indicates that you have lost visual contact.
This way, important information can be conveyed with just a quick button press, without having to rely on chat or voice communication.
How the story continues in WoW, you can see here:
Start video
WoW Cinematic: Nozdormu sees the rise of the Eternals in a vision
What does the ping system look like in WoW? Concrete details are not yet available, but the PTR for patch 10.1.7 is expected to go live in a few days, and then you can try out the feature. In a Twitch interview with “Maximum” from Team Liquid, Associate Game Director Morgan Day has already revealed a few details about the ping system. It is expected to be context-based and allow for some adjustments. Day said:
It will show a “thing” in the game world, and there will be different options. You can place it in the world or on a player or an enemy. By giving players this tool to communicate faster and equipping it with many adjustments, it’s something that could be great for guilds, but also an important tool for accessibility.
In any case, a quick “ping,” perhaps accompanied by a sound, is likely to be better than typing “I’ve added” in the group chat, which can easily be overlooked in the heat of battle.
How good and extensive the feature actually is will likely be seen in a few days when the PTR for patch 10.1.7 starts and the first groups provide their feedback. However, it is likely that the function can also simply be turned off or that there must be a Mute function for individual players.
At 20, the Luxembourger “LetsHugo” is one of the biggest streamers in the German-speaking Twitch. We at MeinMMO present the content creator to you.
What kind of streamer is he? LetsHugo is a Luxembourger streamer. In his streams, he predominantly speaks High German, which is why he has built a huge German community.
Currently, over 600,000 people follow the 20-year-old on Twitch – that’s almost as many as his home country has inhabitants. His fans love him for his humorous and somewhat scattered style. But how did he get so far?
The Twitch streamer Unge, who now performs as Raik, played an important role in LetsHugo’s career:

Minecraft, longboards and vegan food made him famous – The career of Unge
It all started with Minecraft
This is how it all began: Hugo took his first steps on Twitch in 2016 playing the block game Minecraft. Known to have made other streamers big as well. However, the large audiences didn’t come right away: For a long time, Hugo streamed on average in front of less than 10 viewers.
In July 2019, Hugo began streaming significantly more and more regularly. This could mathematically match his claim of dropping out of school after 9th grade to fully dedicate himself to his hobby. Besides Minecraft, he also started including categories like Just Chatting or various casual games in his streams.
Hugo streamed for years without showing his face
What did his career look like? With the increased streaming time, the viewers also came to Hugo. By October 2022, he had already reached an average of several hundred viewers, relatively consistently over several months.
Additionally, the streamer made a name for himself in the Minecraft community through collaborative videos with BastiGHG and participation in events like Suro and Craft Attack. Thus, Hugo had built a community with almost 150,000 followers without ever showing his face.
It wasn’t until February 2022 that he revealed his face in a joint stream with Simon “Unge” Wiefels, who acted almost like a big brother and encouraged the younger streamer (via YouTube).
On October 29, 2022, Hugo started a sellout stream that would last a total of 78 days. With this type of stream, where content creators perform specific actions for donations, Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller had great success as well.
With this marathon stream, the then 19-year-old broke the mark of averaging more than 1,200 viewers. He also managed to gain almost 28,000 new followers. Hugo had similar success with a second sellout stream from December 1 to 23.
At the end of the streaming marathon, he even became a bit emotional and said it had been one of the best times he had ever had.

Together with other streamers, they wanted to forgo food and calorie-containing drinks for a whole week. Although Hugo’s participation ended after just 5 days for health reasons, he still won the hearts of viewers as well as other content creators.
Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris, who became a regular guest of the challenge and enjoyed tempting the participants with irresistibly fragrant food, even gave the younger streamer some valuable tips:
In the last 30 days, he ranked 11th among the most-watched German streamers. Furthermore, no other streamer has gained as many new followers this year as the now 20-year-old (via sullygnome).
Thus, it is clear that Hugo is successful even beyond his appearances with larger streamers and that he can now stand on his own two feet on Twitch. It remains to be seen what the future holds for the young streamer.
By now, it’s not so easy for Hugo to walk around an event unnoticed, as recently shown at the Anime fair Dokomi. There, LetsHugo hid behind a mask, but a fan still managed to get a photo with the streamer.
Carlos “ocelote” Rodríguez Santiago is a former LoL pro and from 2015 to 2022 was the team leader of G2 Esports. Under his leadership, Rekkles also played for the team. However, after only one year, their paths parted ways. Now, ocelote has commented on the situation back then in an interview and does not have a good word for his former player. But he himself is also controversial.
How did it go for Rekkles at G2 Esports?
Carl Martin Erik “Rekkles” Larsson played for Fnatic as AD Carry from 2015 until the end of 2020 and did so very successfully. He was regarded as one of the best bot laners in the world.
Right in his debut season, the team finished 3rd/4th at the Worlds. This was followed by a quarterfinal appearance in 2017, a second place in 2018, and again a quarterfinal appearance in 2019 and 2020. Fnatic also won several national titles during this period.
In 2020, he went to Fnatic’s perennial rivals G2 but could not lead the team to victory. After a year, their paths parted again. The transfer is now considered the biggest misunderstanding in the European LoL scene.
After a failed comeback as ADC at Fnatic, Rekkles is currently registered as a supporter, but only on the team’s bench.
What happened now? In an interview with e-sports journalist Thorin (via YouTube), the former head of G2 Esports shares various anecdotes, including about his players Caps and Perkz or the World Championships.
They also talk about Rekkles.

7 Facts about LoL that only true veterans know
“He is often the worst teammate you can have”
What does ocelote say exactly? He particularly criticizes Rekkles’ team spirit. Every player who has a rough idea of a functioning team would not get along with the pro.
He supposedly disregarded instructions from management and had a very limited champion pool. In scrims, he muted his microphone and simply chose a champion to his liking. This made it difficult to work with him.
He is often the worst teammate you can have in a team. Of course, he is the best you can have when it matters and he is fed [Note: has a lot of gold and is ahead of others].
The former team leader also admits that he knew before signing him that it was very unlikely to work out.
When I was able to get him, I thought: ‘The probability of failure is high. However, the probability of incredible success is not zero.’
What does ocelote criticize about the transfer? After the season did not go well, a separation between the team and Rekkles was inevitable. But there were also problems here.
Thorin reports that Rekkles himself stated that he wanted to prevent G2 Esports from profiting from this transfer. He allegedly tried to lower his market value. G2, on the other hand, did not want to sell the pro to a competitor from the LEC. So Rekkles ended up in the second French league.
He shot himself in the foot. I believe good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. Of course, there are exceptions, but that was not the case with Rekkles. He ended up in the second league, as he deserves.
ocelote is heavily criticized, considered hot-headed and confrontational
Who criticizes Rekkles? ocelote was team leader of G2 Esports until 2022 but had to leave then. It was a video on Twitter, in which he celebrated with Andrew Tate, that became his undoing.
The former kickboxer Andrew Tate has become one of the notorious figures on the internet, particularly because of his views and behavior towards women. This is seen by many as misogynistic.
G2 Esports then announced that they do not support “any form of misogyny” and ocelote left the team.
Gold is one of the most important resources in Diablo 4 and especially in the endgame, you will need to spend quite a lot of it for item upgrades. We will show you which items you can easily sell later in the game to replenish your gold supply.
If you want to upgrade or enchant your equipment in the endgame, you can quickly spend a few million of your precious gold at the vendors. The same goes for repairs. But luckily, there is plenty of stuff in Diablo 4 that you can easily sell.
What items can I sell? In the following list, we will name the items that you can always sell without hesitation in Diablo 4:
Before reaching the endgame, you should rather salvage items, as you will need the materials more at the beginning than the gold. In the video, you can find out which items you should salvage better at the beginning and which ones you should sell:

When should I break down or sell items in Diablo 4?
These 5 items can be sold without hesitation
Equipment you cannot use
Probably everyone who plays Diablo 4 knows the phenomenon. You kill a few monsters, open your inventory in joyful anticipation of good loot, and notice crossed-out items. You have received items for a different class.
You can keep them if you also play that class – or want to. However, you will likely find something equivalent while playing with that class anyway.
Therefore, you can simply sell them, because especially higher-level items will bring you a good amount of gold. A two-handed sword at level 94 has brought me over 27,000 gold.
Items that are not suitable for your class are marked with a red cross
Equipment that does not fit your build
It may happen that you receive items that have a high level and good stats, but do not benefit you. For example, because they simply do not fit your build or you need other stats more. An item that gives you +2 levels on a certain skill is not bad, but it won’t help you if you don’t play that skill at all.
You should only keep it if the other skills fit well with your build and you can change the one non-needed affix through enchanting. You can find the best builds in our tier list:
Magical items, or “blue” items, can be sold without hesitation – if you even pick them up. The same goes for white items. Usually, it happens in the later stages of the game that you find way too many “yellow” items and legendaries, and sooner or later, you will kick the magical items out of your inventory.
It may well be that during your gameplay, you receive so many materials that you do not need any new ones or can no longer pick them up. Therefore, if you have equipment items in your chest or inventory that are no longer needed but are upgraded, it is worth selling them.
A legendary amulet at level 86 can easily bring you about 66,000 gold. While that doesn’t reach the costs you paid for the amulet during upgrading, it’s better than nothing.
Uniques have an extremely high value. Whether you want to sell them or keep them, you should think carefully, as some are only obtained rarely. Selling an amulet of level 79 with the designation “Vermacht” gives you 248,000 gold. For a “Vermacht” unique bow at level 88, you even get a juicy 446,600 gold.
Unique items are sometimes strong, but often simply do not fit your build. You will likely never be able to use most of them. So do not hesitate to sell them.
magical items do not bring in much goldyou get more gold for legendary items
Everything that clogs your inventory and chests
If space shortage is your primary problem – alongside the lack of gold – selling everything that you cannot currently use is the best solution. Especially if you have enough materials and are satisfied with your equipment.
Especially gems clog your inventory. So, after a dungeon run, it happens that you have many gems in your inventory, as well as “blue” items that you cannot use. You can exchange some of them for a small amount of gold.
With the space bar, the X (Xbox controller), or the square (PlayStation controller), you can mark the items in the inventory as junk and sell them all at once at the vendor. Even small items like gems.
Everything you need to know about selling & salvaging items has been listed here:
The Steam Summer Sale currently attracts numerous offers. Among the games is a special gem called Eville, with which MeinMMO author Jasmin Beverungen has had entirely new experiences. If you don’t know what title this is, Jasmin has written an overview of the game for you. Otherwise, you can jump directly to the second part of the article.
How does Eville play? Since the end of last year, the multiplayer social deduction game Eville has been on the market. You can imagine the title similarly to the “Werewolves” game: A group of innocent villagers is infiltrated by conspirators and must unmask who among them counts as the villains over several rounds.
There is a day and night rhythm. During the day, the villagers pursue certain tasks, set traps, or brew potions to protect themselves from the criminals. Each villager has their own house to retreat to at night.
If you are a criminal yourself, you must eliminate one of the villagers every night. For this, you sneak into the houses of the mostly sleeping villagers and kill them if possible. The next day, it will be decided which player has behaved the most suspiciously and will consequently be burned.
Who is the villain?
At the beginning of each round, you will be assigned a random role. If you are assigned to the villagers’ side, you can help with the investigation using a special gift. The seer, for example, can set magical traps that function like a kind of surveillance camera.
Due to the different roles and potions, which for example allow you to stay awake at night, no round plays out like the other. But besides the varied gameplay, it was mainly the community that convinced me.
What did I particularly like about Eville? Before you start a round, you can decide in which language you want to play the title. If you choose the English community, you have a larger selection of lobbies. However, I consciously decided to play the game in German and did not regret it.
Because the German community was smaller, you were randomly thrown together with people you had already played with over several evenings. This led to some insider jokes within the group and small friendships developing.
A similar game mechanic also exists in Among Us:
Start video
Among Us – Hide and Seek Trailer The Game Awards
The bond was partly due to the game functioning with voice chat. For shy individuals, it is also possible to only use the chat. However, especially through the voice chat, one felt “more connected” to the other players and could tell more jokes than in chat.
Thanks to the friend function, I was eventually able to add people and consciously arrange new dates for game rounds with them. The people were very reliable, and so we became a gaming group. A particularly groundbreaking experience showed me how much I could rely on the group.
Eville has brought our group together
In one round, suddenly an English-speaking person wandered into our group. We welcomed the stranger kindly and switched to English for him so he could follow what was happening.
However, it quickly became clear that the person had no good intentions: I had prepared for the upcoming night in my house. There I brewed a potion that allowed me to stay awake at night. This way, I could escape potential murderers and protect myself for another night.
At night, the murderers come.
But the new player also came into my house. After a brief “Hi” and “How are you?” it quickly became clear what the stranger was aiming for: He suddenly began calling me “Baby” and saying suggestive things.
When I then ran out of the house and confided in others from the group, we decided to immediately vote out, report, and block the English-speaking person, regardless of what role the player actually had.
In his anger, the player threw things at us related to our German origin that I would rather not repeat here. So far, I have never felt as vulnerable and protected in a video game as I did in Eville. I would never have thought that before installing the game.
The group could have simply ignored the incident or not taken my concerns seriously. Thus, what remains in my memory about Eville is primarily the great community (aside from that one exception).
The sad thing about the story: Unfortunately, our group has since dissolved, and we are enjoying ourselves in other games. I still think often about the incident and what might have become of the group. Because I have rarely seen such friendly people in a game.
Two screenshots provide an insight into Starfield and show a weapon that resembles a version of the AK-47. Players seem surprised by the weapon in the setting that takes place far in the future.
What kind of game is Starfield? Starfield is a futuristic RPG by Bethesda that takes place 20 years after a colonial conflict that occurred in 2310 between two major factions.
Currently, screenshots that were posted on a Discord server are also being discussed. The images show a weapon that many players find familiar.
Here you can see a trailer for Starfield:

“Bethesda has developed an obsession with AKs”
What kind of screenshots are these? On his Discord server, Idle Sloth, who refers to himself on Twitter as “Xbox News Guy”, shows two images that apparently come from Starfield. These screenshots have been referenced on Twitter and Reddit.
In this post from July 5 in the Starfield subreddit, you can see a shot from the game:

What kind of weapon is this? The weapon that the player character holds looks like an AK-47. A Soviet assault rifle developed by the Russian gunsmith Mikhail Kalashnikov. You encounter it often in shooters like Call of Duty, Counterstrike, or Battlefield.
“I think it always requires a sensitive balance between realism, simulation, and Hollywood,” notes Tim Lamb, the producer of Starfield (via Jeux vidéo). Thus, it is not surprising to use a modern version of the AK-47 in this setting as well.
This is currently being discussed on social media.
What does the community say about the weapon? In another post on Reddit, the weapon shown is taken up by many users. The post by u/Neosss1995 in the subreddit r/GamingLeaksAndRumours currently has over 100 comments. TachankaIsTheBest writes: “An AK… interesting” (via Reddit) and receives over 230 upvotes for it.
Look_A_Zombie0 writes: “Even in 2330, people still use AKs. That’s really impressive in terms of reliability” (via Reddit). “They are also seen in the Halo TV series, thus extending the AK’s story to the year 2552,” responds dovahbe4r.
The user Casual_Garbage comments: “Recently, Bethesda has developed an obsession with AKs. Check out Fallout 76.”
How much of the AK-inspired weapon will ultimately be present in the game remains to be seen. In an interview, a developer already spoke about another weapon that will be in Starfield:
This week, there was a lot of information about MMORPGs in development. Teredor has entered Alpha, Roland Emmerich is making an MMORPG, and Ashes of Creation is presenting its housing system. But there have also been significant developments in WoW, New World, and Black Desert. Here’s a summary.
Aion Classic has postponed the release of Patch 2.0 from the end of July to August to give players more time to experience the nostalgic game world (via Gameforge). Patch 2.0 will also include an increased level cap and new areas.
EverQuest 2 is making some of its expansions free, while EverQuest 1 has announced a new expansion (via MassivelyOP).
Albion Online is getting a new type of weapon that allows shapeshifting. You can check out how this looks in this video:

Hardly any game makes you feel like the real villain. MeinMMO editor Leya Jankowski believes that Baldur’s Gate 3 can fulfill that fantasy. She spoke with lead developer Swen Vincke about how to take the ultimately evil path in his role-playing game.
It’s a hot day in Belgium (Ghent) and I just played the latest version of Baldur’s Gate 3. I am visiting Larian Studios, who will release one of the most anticipated role-playing games of the last few years in August. The game will be released for PC in August, a month earlier than planned.
During my visit, the developers announce the latest “Origin” character. These are pre-made characters that you can play as an alternative to your own character. Origins have their own story that you will uncover throughout the game.
The Dark Urge is his name, which translates to “The Dark Urge.” With him, you play a crazy, bloodthirsty murderer.
I start to think about the ultimate villain and how Baldur’s Gate 3 gives you the opportunity to live out that dark fantasy. There are not many games out there that truly allow you to do that.
As I am led to my interview with Swen and he sits peacefully on a park bench with a friendly smile, the perfect moment has come for me to ask him about the ultimate evil guide for his game.
Always follow the dark urge
MeinMMO: I think Baldur’s Gate 3 is a really good game to play an extremely evil character. In your presentation, you did many evil things, like murdering a child or sacrificing parts of your group for an absurd plan. I think you’re exactly the right person to give me tips on how to play the ultra-evil character in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Swen Vincke: If you want to be the ultimate evil character, I would recommend playing The Dark Urge and following its impulse. Every time you have the choice to follow its dark thoughts, you do just that. Then you’ll be truly evil.
MeinMMO: What should I be aware of when making decisions? What does it entail to follow a dark path?
Swen Vincke: You gain great power when you follow the dark urge. I don’t want to give too much away, but your urge is connected to something very evil. You will often be prompted to do things that are very evil, and if you follow that, your power grows very quickly. But you will be very lonely and end up alone.
MeinMMO: One of your colleagues told me that you end up alone if you follow the dark path. Where did that idea come from?
Swen Vincke: When you deal with people who are evil and have a lot of power, everyone wants that power. Eventually, you have to get rid of them all.
MeinMMO: Aren’t there any companions who are more on the evil side that you can take with you?
Swen Vincke: Absolutely, you can take evil companions with you. But you must give them something. So if you want to play evil, you have to get rid of any competition.
If you take a companion with you, you have to trust them to a certain extent. So I would kill them all. Then I would become an evil god, which is possible. I would kill everyone at the first opportunity so that I don’t have to deal with them.
MeinMMO: Wait, you can become an evil god?
Swen Vincke: Without giving too much away, yes, you gain divine powers.
Watch the release trailer for Baldur’s Gate 3 here
Few want to be the villain
MeinMMO: Why do you think there are so few games that truly let you be evil?
Swen Vincke: It’s a lot of work. We have it in the game because it was important to us that you really get a choice. Every decision needs to lead somewhere.
Statistically, most people don’t play evil anyway. If 95% of your target audience plays good and only 5% play evil, then it’s hardly worth the effort. But even if it’s just a few, I believe it’s important to have a choice, because otherwise your decisions are worthless.
MeinMMO: Do you have data from Early Access on what players tended to do?
Swen Vincke: I prefer not to look at that data, because otherwise it would influence my decisions. We have things in there that are incredibly expensive and only 0.00001% will see them, but that’s how I want the game to be.
MeinMMO: Why is it so difficult to implement an evil path? It has to feel evil when you do something and not many games can manage that.
Swen Vincke: You need motivation to be evil or good, you need a reason to be somewhere in between. We’re dealing with around 170 hours of cinematics in the game, just to cater to different choices. You will never see all of that, it’s impossible. We also don’t want you to see all of it.
A good villain story needs a reason
MeinMMO: What do you personally believe makes a good villain story?
Swen Vincke: A reason to be a villain. So why are you on this path?
At the beginning of the game, you meet some refugees and you decide their fate. You can leave them behind or kill them to infiltrate an evil cult. If you take the murderous path, you meet a woman, a Drow, her name is Minthara and you can sleep with her.
You meet her again later, and she has fallen out of favor with the cult. Now you can choose again to kill her or save her by helping her escape. She will then become your companion.
She tells you that she has done evil things because she was part of the cult and followed it. She then asks you why you did all these evil things, what your reason was. Why did you kill all these people? I was controlled, you weren’t. So why?
And now you can decide what your motivation was and state it. That’s a really good moment when she asks you that. You also get many interesting answers to choose from.
MeinMMO: That’s really clever. When I watched your gameplay presentation, something struck me. When I think of an evil person, the first thing that pops into my head is that I just run around and kill everyone. But in Baldur’s Gate 3, being evil has a lot to do with manipulation, which I find interesting.
Swen Vincke: There are two major themes in the game, one of them is trust. Trust is important to us because the game runs on a group dynamic. It’s basically a group of people who have come together for a reason. They share the common problem of having a parasite in their heads that they need to get rid of.
And when dealing with a group of people traveling together, they need to trust each other. So we put them in various scenarios and gave them backstories where they directly distrust each other. There are ways for them to trust each other and get along so well that a certain degree of manipulation is okay. But there’s also the other side, where they distrust each other.
Everyone has their secrets. In the game, you can read their thoughts to find out what their desires and secrets are. That’s something you shouldn’t do morally. And if they find out, that can be the reason they attack you or leave your group.
But you can get away with it if you want to go down the evil path. The fact that trust is so important makes this evil storytelling possible.
With Dark Urge, you always have a voice in your head that wants to lead you down a dark path
Why the release was moved up
MeinMMO: You decided to move the release up. Why did you do that? Most studios say they will be late, especially during the pandemic.
Swen Vincke: There were several reasons for that. One of them was that we had to decide whether to release on all platforms simultaneously. That was initially our goal. In that case, we would have had to push the release back further.
We didn’t want that because we have been working on the game for 6 years. On the PC, it’s almost finished. So we said to ourselves that if we split the release, we can release the PC first.
It’s a pretty crowded season, many games are being released. Many will be screaming for attention. Early August is still relatively free, we can position ourselves with the PC version then. And then we’ll push the PS5 version back a bit because it needs a bit more work.
That also eased the pressure from our team because now we can do one thing at a time. First PC, then console. If we had pushed it back, it would have been at the end of the year, and we didn’t want that.
MeinMMO: Are there specific games you wanted to avoid? I mean Starfield, of course.
Swen Vincke: I was just about to say if you want to ask me about Starfield. So this year we had: Zelda, Diablo, Starfield, the new Cyberpunk and we haven’t even reached the end of October yet. If August is our month, I’m happy.
At this point, a big thank you to Swen Vincke for taking the time to talk to me about the evil in Baldur’s Gate 3.
There is also a second part of the interview where I spoke with Swen about the use of AI in game development. However, that thematically doesn’t fit so well with the rest of the interview, so we will split it here and give it its own space.
What do you think about the ultimate evil path in Baldur’s Gate 3? Are you now tempted to take that path after this interview?

Jennifer Lawrence played the lead role in the science fiction film Passengers. In an interview, she talks about why she regrets her involvement in the film – having been warned beforehand by the singer Adele.
Passengers is a science fiction film with romantic elements by the Norwegian director Morten Tyldum. It was released in American theaters in December 2016, followed by its release in Germany in January 2017.
In an interview with the New York Times, Jennifer Lawrence talks about her role in Passengers. When asked which film makes her reconsider her choices, she named the sci-fi flick. The successful singer Adele had even warned her beforehand.

German trailer for the sci-fi movie Passengers
“I think everyone had enough of me.”
What did Adele warn her about? “She said, ‘I feel like space movies are the new vampire movies.’ I should have listened to her,” Lawrence said (via Variety). She often viewed Passengers as a setback in her career.
The romantic relationship between the main characters and especially the behavior of the male protagonist are considered problematic by many. Because: James “Jim” Preston (Pratt) awakens Aurora Lane (Lawrence) from her hibernation too early, thus putting her in enormous danger (via Filmstarts).
On Rotten Tomatoes, Passengers has an overall rating of only 30%. In her review, marked as “Top Critic,” user Anne Cohen writes: “Passengers takes a potentially interesting debate about consent (agreement) and covers it up with cheesy romance and problematic sex” (via Rotten Tomatoes).
In particular, consent and toxic relationship patterns are themes that are often discussed in the “vampire movies” mentioned by Adele. On Moviepilot, you can learn more about romantic adaptations that suffer from a curse.
But Jennifer Lawrence was also dissatisfied with her work. “I did not deliver the quality that I should have,” she says in an interview (via Variety). “I think everyone had enough of me. I had enough of me. It had just reached the point where I couldn’t do anything right,” Lawrence said.
The fact that she was nominated for a Golden Raspberry as worst actress in 2018 for her role in “Mother!” certainly did not help her feelings about it.
What consequences did she draw? Jennifer Lawrence felt that fans were disappointed simply by her existence. The actress took a break. At the end of 2021, she returned in her role as Kate Dibiasky in the dark comedy “Don’t Look Up.”
By the way, you can watch “Don’t Look Up” on Netflix. At least, if you still have one of the subscriptions:
In League of Legends, the community is currently shaken by a frightening report from Japan. The 20-year-old top laner of the most famous LoL team there, DetonatioN FocusMe, has fled the gaming house. The situation seems to be complicated.
This is the news in brief:
The 20-year-old Haruki “tol2” Shibata wrote on Twitter yesterday that he felt compelled to flee from DTM’s gaming house because he feared for his life.
Allegedly, he was threatened by head coach Kazuta “Kazu” Suzuki after having felt “verbally abused” for a long time.
The young man says that an adjustment disorder was diagnosed in him, but he has nevertheless been subjected to harsh treatment for months.

LoL Season 2023: The Cinematic “The Brink of Infinity”
Who is the young professional? tol2 is in his rookie season with the team, meaning he has never played for a professional team before and has to replace “Evil”, a former star player of DetonatioN FocusMe since January 2023: He switched to the competition in December 2022.
DetonatioN FocusMe is currently flawless in the Summer Split of the LJL 2023 with 4-0 games in first place. Nevertheless, it seems that there are serious problems within the team.
Professional has complained to management, was punished for it
This is what the young man says: The 20-year-old claims that he has been repeatedly “verbally abused”. This started after the Spring Split of 2022. Allegedly, head coach Kazu and assistant coach Ceros have been targeting him.
As an example of the things he has to endure, tol2 recounts: They saw a dog in the street, and coach Ceros said to the 20-year-old: “Hey, you are also a dog, why don’t you join it.”
He says he complained to the management about this mistreatment: They told him that if he told anyone, he would never play in the professional league again, for any team. Moreover, he was punished for it. He states that from his perspective, there was thus no possibility to “escape”.
The player recounts that he collapsed in London and could not stop crying, and only bot laner Milan (22) helped him calm down. Another bot laner, the 26-year-old Yutaponi, is also mentioned by tol2 as one of his few supporters in the situation.
Why has he run away now? Allegedly, a major argument escalated yesterday. After that, he fled and now dares not return to the gaming house because he does not know what to expect. The last post was:
“I felt like my life was in danger. I want to compete in the game tomorrow, but I don’t know how they will react when I return to the gaming house.”
What about the league now? There is still no statement from the club, and the player is currently silent.
Many are showing solidarity with the player and praise the teammates who stand up for him: Especially Yutaponi is a great guy. The Japanese has been playing for the same team since 2013: Only Faker is similarly loyal.
It is said that this is an example of the “Japanese” work culture.
One user speculates: Many older people (“boomers”) may not be able to understand this, but it is a well-known problem with coaches in general. Even in traditional sports, there are abusive coaches like this.
The often young players of a professional team in e-sports live together in so-called “gaming houses” during the season. The worst case of how a situation can end has occurred in Brazil:
Update 9.7., 12:09 PM: The team has reacted. They have confirmed that the allegations are justified. The coaches said things that could be seen as threats.
The team has fired the two coaches Kazu and Ceros with immediate effect.
