Legendary player from Elden Ring now tries Where Winds Meet, defeats tough opponent effortlessly

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Elden Ring and other Souls games, he has helped players with the toughest bosses, now LetMeSoloHer is back and showing it to the enemies in Where Winds Meet.

Who is it about? The name LetMeSoloHer is known to many players of Soulslikes. The community legend became famous for defeating the toughest bosses for others while taking no damage or even wearing armor.

The player previously released videos about bosses from Soulslikes like Elden Ring, where he repeatedly showcased his skill. His name fits well with his greatest achievement: He has defeated the boss Malenia a total of 2,000 times and even received a sword from the publisher of Elden Ring for it. Now he has taken a liking to Where Winds Meet.

Learn more about LetMeSoloHer and his background in the video:

Time for Where Winds Meet

What does he do in Where Winds Meet? The developers of Where Winds Meet paid the community legend to make a video about the new title. Instead of just showcasing the game like in a typical sponsorship, he does what he does best and demonstrates his skill.

The video starts with the boss fight against the opponent Wolf Maiden. The shapeshifter meets him on the hardest difficulty level “Abyss,” which is particularly tricky and forgiving of very few mistakes.

For LetMeSoloHer, the boss in the video seems to be no challenge, as he defeats the Wolf Lady without losing a single health point. In his usual manner, he parries every attack and dodges whenever parrying is not an option.

Even with his attacks, he does not get too greedy and always stops in time before the boss can retaliate. After the boss gameplay, he explains even more about the game to his viewers, which in turn resembles a typical sponsorship.

How do the viewers react? The viewers of his channel are pleased with the video and praise the developers for choosing the right creator with LetMeSoloHer.

At the same time, the community demands that the content creator receive his own typical hat in the game. Thus, his typical character is not only lightly dressed and equipped with two katanas but also wears a jug on his head as the only armor.

In Where Winds Meet, the jug has been transformed into a sort of bamboo bowl that the player has placed on his head to at least mimic his typical look.

“No one has to work 80 hours a week” – The CEO of a company explains why 40 hours a week is enough and what the trick is

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

In a conversation, the CEO of Shopify explained that 40 hours of work is sufficient if one manages time wisely.

The necessary amount of working hours is often discussed, even a 4-day week is currently being talked about. Yet many people already feel overworked or even burdened by their jobs.

Notably, a young CEO who demanded an 80-hour work week from his employees became known. But the CEO of Shopify has now stated that no one needs to work that long if they manage their time smartly.

Select a MMO video…

Those who work efficiently only need 40 hours of work time

Who is speaking? Harley Finkelstein is the CEO of Shopify: The company sells the e-commerce software of the same name to small and medium-sized enterprises. Shopify heavily focuses on artificial intelligence and aims, according to the German CEO, to only hire employees who are better than AI.

In the podcast “Aspire with Emma Grede” on YouTube, Finkelstein recently talked about work, working hours, and a work-life balance. He explained that 40 hours per week is completely sufficient if one has learned to be efficient.

No one needs to work 80 hours a week to perform well and be a high performer. I know people who work 40 hours a week and are among the best achievers ever. They simply manage their time incredibly efficiently.

The trick, according to Finkelstein, is to manage your working hours efficiently: Those who work efficiently accomplish more in their working hours than other people who lack this ability and would need more time for their tasks.

Moreover, he added that there is no real work-life balance. People are rather seeking a balance between work and private life. Therefore, he would handle working hours flexibly and not rigidly stick to working from Monday to Friday:

I consider the term work-life balance to be somewhat misleading. I believe what we are all actually seeking is a kind of harmony. There are Saturdays when I have to work, and there are Thursday afternoons when I go for a walk with my wife. That is my version of harmony.

However, there are also managers and CEOs who draw the boundaries even further: For instance, the brand manager of the sports company Salomon stated that he intentionally never separates work and leisure and deliberately combines the two. Because even during a walk in nature, one can discuss work-related matters.

7 years after release, Conan Exiles finally allows you to trade with the most important “resource” of the game

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

The survival game Conan Exiles will receive a new update in December 2025, bringing various quality of life improvements. Most importantly, the core aspects of the game will see changes.

What is the most important resource? In Conan Exiles, you fight for survival, and for that, your own thralls are essential. They complete tasks and support you, once you have captured them.

If they belong to your loyal followers, you can assign them various tasks and roles: They can fight or assist you in building, making them the most important resource of the game and a foundational pillar of the gameplay in Conan Exiles.

You can watch the new features in the Age of War expansion in the trailer:

What kind of update is this? Since December 9, 2025, the December update for the survival game Conan Exiles is live, bringing some new features for your thralls, primarily affecting three aspects: building, magic, and trading (via conanexiles.com).

Building, magic, and trading will be easier

What is changing in trading? With the December update, Conan Exiles now allows you to trade with thralls, animals, or golems. Accordingly, you can set up trading stations where you can get rid of the creatures. No matter if you need the money or the labor is no longer required.

What else is being improved? Building and magic in Conan Exiles will be easier and faster. This is due to the thralls:

  • Building & Crafting
    • In the future, you will not have to walk overloaded through your storage when you want to build. When you build at crafting stations, materials will be automatically used from your inventory. Additionally, your thralls will now deliver materials directly.
  • Magic
    • Magic in Conan Exiles is receiving several smaller upgrades. For example, casting with the arcane staff is now faster, and earlier spells no longer require reagents. If you have thralls that act as summoners, they provide new efficiency bonuses at sacrifice stones.

Thieves specifically steal Pokémon cards

What was stolen? According to American news sites, the thieves are said to have stolen Pokémon and sports cards worth about $100,000 (around €86,000) (via KTLA5).

The store owner describes: “For the most part, they targeted Pokémon cards. Accidentally, they also took some cash boxes from the back that contained [rare] sports cards.”

Furthermore, the owner believes that the thieves knew exactly what they were after. Especially Pokémon cards can be sold well these days, he explains.

The store owner is now working with local police to locate the thieves. The authorities have not yet commented on the theft to American news outlets.

In recent years, there have been repeated reports of thieves stealing Pokémon cards worth thousands of euros. One of these thieves was eventually caught because he was selling the cards in the wrong place: Thief steals rare Pokémon card worth €36,000, chooses the worst place to sell, gets caught

One of the biggest investors in Square Enix explains in 100 pages what is currently going wrong with the developer of Final Fantasy

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

An investor accuses Square Enix of a whole range of issues, which he shares with the public in over 100 pages.

What kind of investor is this?

  • In April 2025, the Singaporean investment fund “3D Investment Partners” took a stake in the Japanese game developer and publisher Square Enix.
  • The company now owns 10.01% of Square Enix shares, making it one of the three largest shareholders.
  • 3D Investment Partners is also an investor in companies like Toshiba, Fujisoft, and Nippon Steel.
What is Square Enix? Square Enix is a Japanese game developer and publisher known for franchises like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.

The investment fund has now released a presentation over 100 pages long, explaining how Square Enix has been mismanaged in recent years and what needs to change (via 3dipartners.com).

The MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 is currently one of the most important games from Square Enix. Here you can see the trailer for the upcoming update “Into the Mist,” which will be released on December 16:

Deficiencies and costs are the reasons for stagnating development

What does the investor criticize? 3D Investment Partners elaborates on various issues at Square Enix, presenting them with numbers and graphics. The investors particularly criticize the current management of the company and how it handles current problems.

Problems include a sluggish revenue growth rate and slow profit margins due to insufficient performance in the HD (High-Definition) and SD (Smart Device, PC Browser, etc.) gaming business segments.

As the basis for this stagnation in revenue growth, the investors cite the following aspects:

  • Fragmentation of the development portfolio
  • Deficiencies in platform selection
  • Deficiencies in product design
  • Deficiencies in advertising and promotion
  • Falling sales of legacy titles from core IPs
  • Exceeding the peak of DQW (Dragon Quest Walk), a significant revenue driver
  • Revenue dependence on the domestic market
  • Insufficient utilization of licensing opportunities
  • Lagging cross-media revenues
  • Lack of regular media releases
  • Lagging merchandise revenues
  • Insufficient development of merchandise based on intellectual property

The stagnating profit margins are justified by the investors with:

  • Excessive development costs
  • Excessive spending on advertising and promotion
  • Excessive personnel costs for SG&A (Selling, General and Administrative expenses)
  • Excessive other SG&A costs
  • Excessive development and operating costs
  • Excessive platform fees

In addition, the investment fund criticizes the insufficient synergy between Square Enix’s gaming business and its non-gaming businesses. The company’s analysis shows that due to these missing synergies, there is no justification for holding both business areas.

What needs to change? The investors believe that concrete countermeasures are needed to address the critical management problems at Square Enix. They lament: “The current mid-term management plan from Square Enix seems to justify its lackluster performance under the slogan ‘Restarts’ while failing to formulate a forward-looking vision.”

Furthermore, it is stated that they fail to propose concrete measures for individual management challenges. The current mid-term management plan only outlines vague directions and lacks any disclosure of KPIs, quantitative targets, or implementation plans, rendering it insufficient as a solution.

Square Enix has been facing problems for some time. We reported, for example, in May 2024 that the gaming company reported its worst numbers in over a decade: Square Enix reports worst numbers in 13 years: Attributes even Final Fantasy as the reason

Twitch streamer Papaplatte is on ‘Duel Around the World’ for the second time, immediately regrets having a big mouth

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller was a guest for the second time on the Pro7 show Duel Around the World. There, he had to complete an even worse task than before.

In what way did Papaplatte have a big mouth? Twitch streamer Papaplatte was again a guest on the Pro7 show “Duel Around the World”. In the team of Joko Winterscheidt, he had to complete a task given to him by Klaas Heufer-Umlauf.

During his first participation, Papaplatte had to hang from a bridge with a rope and trust in physics. For this, Pro7 even hired a “translator” so that everyone could understand the English-infused speaking style of the Twitch streamer.

After that, Papaplatte told his streaming colleague Knossi that the task he had to complete was “too boring” and “kindergarten”. Klaas labeled this statement as “cheeky” and felt justified in not holding back in the new task.

Papaplatte shouts into the camera to appease Klaas

What did Papaplatte have to do this time? Even before the actual task, Papaplatte had to endure a lot: He was taken over a lake in a speedboat at 170 km/h. During this, the Twitch streamer had to read out the task from Klaas and then change clothes afterwards.

Upon arriving at a pier, Papaplatte’s jacket was set on fire, and he had to jump into the lake to extinguish it. Then, unfortunately, there was no seat available in the car, and the Twitch streamer was taped to the vehicle.

Finally, Papaplatte arrived at his main task: He was supposed to board a propeller plane and climb out of the seat during the flight. Then he had to stand on the wing and speak into the camera. The Pro7 moderator required an apology from him in the form of an “apology video” – at several kilometers high.

As Papaplatte spoke – or rather screamed – the last words of his apology, the propeller plane performed some spins. Papaplatte later remarked: “All this just because I thought last time it wasn’t crazy enough, now I’m on a wing and doing a damn roll.” (Source: YouTube from minute 16:17). Only then was the Twitch streamer allowed to feel solid ground under his feet again.

Apparently, Papaplatte is still hoping for another challenge, as he stated again that it was still not crazy enough for him. Who knows, maybe the Twitch streamer will soon face another challenge.

Warframe: The Old Peace Starts Tomorrow – The Most Important Information about the Release, the New Features, and How You Can Play the Story

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 4 minutes

Warframe is getting a major update this week. We show you what to expect in “The Old Peace.”

What is “The Old Peace?” This is the latest free expansion for Warframe, continuing the story of the loot shooter. Players will also gain access to new modes as well as a new Warframe.

When is the update release? Warframe: The Old Peace will launch on December 10, 2025. The update is scheduled to start at 5:00 PM.

Start video
Warframe verrät das Release-Datum zu The Old Piece im Trailer

A glance into a dark past

What is the expansion about? Warframe takes a look into the past with “The Old Peace,” reflecting on a war long fought between the Orokin and the Sentients.

You’ll discover what happened to the Tau system and how the Sentient conflict arose. Here you delve into your own memories and relive what your character experienced during this war – including a fight against a colossal war machine of the Sentients.

The story and world design of the update follow a clear thread that explores the theme of war and hell. In addition to the new devilish Warframe Uriel, there will be a fitting hellish sound and skybox design, where the sci-fi setting of Warframe meets a dark fantasy atmosphere like in Diablo.

Warframe Roathe
Warframe Marie

New Warframe, Gyre Prime, and New Modes

These are the highlights of the update: The Old Peace comes with a range of highlights to look forward to on December 10. Here’s a rough overview:

  • new story quest for “The Old Peace”
  • new Warframe “Uriel”
  • new weapon class: Bayonet
  • Update of the “Focus Schools”: Introduction of Tauron Strikes (new ultimate abilities) performed with powerful new weapons
  • 2 new game modes: “The Perita Rebellion” and “Descendia”
  • new skip function: You can now skip the update’s story quest and play the new game modes directly if you don’t want to engage in the campaign
  • Gyre Prime

This is what the new Warframe Uriel can do: Uriel is entirely dedicated to the themes of devils, demons, and hell. Accordingly, he comes with a passive ability that summons his own demon minions to fight for him. These demons act entirely independently and have their own abilities.

Of course, Uriel has his own abilities that you can use in combat:

  • Ability 1 (Infernalis): This ability creates a fire aura around Uriel and allows him to fly through the air like a flaming meteor.
  • Ability 2: Cleanses Uriel from status effects and heals him and his demons. If a demon dies, it is revived by this ability.
  • Ability 3: Uriel tears out the souls of his demons and hurls them in search of new victims. The souls explode upon contact with an enemy, causing damage vulnerability. When Infernalis is active, its fire effect also transfers to the souls of the demons, igniting enemies.
  • Ability 4: Uriel’s interactions with his demons fill up the bar in his HUD. Once charged, Uriel can unleash his fourth ability. This sets the entire room ablaze, causing every enemy in the area to ignite and die.
Warframe Uriel Bundle

Here’s what the new game modes are like: In “The Old Peace,” there will be 2 new game modes to grind: “The Perita Rebellion” and “Descendia”

In “The Perita Rebellion,” you have 12 minutes to fulfill as many objectives as possible, as each fulfilled objective grants your Warframe special buffs that strengthen you for the final boss fight at the end of the 12 minutes.

“Descendia” is a type of roguelite mode that will be part of the weekly rotation where you must overcome different floors of a tower. You start at the top and descend up to 21 floors. Each floor holds new enemies, including bosses.

What do you need to do to play “The Old Peace?” If you only want to play the new modes or the new Warframe “Uriel,” you don’t need to make any major preparations before the expansion launches.

However, if you want to experience the campaign of “The Old Peace,” you must reach a specific point in the story of Warframe first. So complete at least the quest “The Lot-Phages” and preceding quests before December 10, 2025. You can check your story progress in the quest guide on the official Warframe website. Depending on when you last played, it may take several hours to progress far enough in the story.

YouTuber “Vurv” certainly does not have to worry about not being advanced enough in Warframe to play the story quest of “The Old Peace.” After over 1,000 hours, he still enjoys the game: YouTuber plays 1,000 hours of a loot shooter on Steam, explains why the game is still great after 12 years

The most important information about the new contents: Since Patch 7.4 starts just before the end of the year, the epic version of the new raid will be delayed. Anyone wishing to grind Arcadion – Heavyweight Division (Savage) for the best gear will have to wait until January 6, 2026. The three-week delay is justified by the festivities and holidays of many cultures around Christmas and New Year.

On December 16, 2025, all glamour restrictions will also be lifted. This means that from now on, any equipment can be projected onto any class or job. In practice, this means that a Paladin can now be dressed in healer gear. Alternatively, they can also wear crafter clothes.

For Occult Crescent, there will be three new phantom jobs ready for the official patch day: Paladin, Dancer, and Gladiator. There will also be new items to help explore the island.

Patch 7.45, on the other hand, brings even more incredible Hildibrand Adventures as well as the new Variant Dungeon The Merchant’s Tale. Here, jobs from level 90 can participate and gain experience points. Additionally, another dungeon from level 100, The Merchant’s Tale (hard).

The recently released trailer already gives first glimpses of the new content. As always, there is also a sneak peek at the new soundtrack for the raid. This time, however, the composer of Final Fantasy XIV is not alone, but receives prominent support: Final Fantasy XIV Patch 7.4 ‘Into the Mist’: New trailer overlays upcoming boss fight with rock song by a Grammy winner

User buys a PC at the pawn shop for 515 €; the community is shocked because the RAM alone costs more

jan hartmayer jan hartmayer Reading time 2 minutes

A user made the find of the year at a pawn shop. A gaming PC at a bargain price. He shares his experience on Reddit and the community is ecstatic. 

What did the player buy? The user uneektnt reports on December 8, 2025, in his Reddit post about his new gaming PC. The original price was $750, but he managed to negotiate it down to $600. This is roughly equivalent to 515 euros (as of December 9, 2025). 

The user found the PC at a pawn shop with the following components:

  • Processor: Intel i9-14900KF 
  • Memory: 32 Gigabytes DDR5 RAM with 6000 megahertz clock speed 
  • Graphics Card: According to the community, it is a Zotac RTX 4070 Ti Super Solid OC 16 GB

The case, power supply, and water cooling are present but unknown and not further identifiable. The internal storage and its size are also unknown.

With such a configuration, the user can smoothly play demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 in WQHD at about 80 frames per second (via YouTube). The YouTuber Testing Games tested a similar configuration on high settings with upscaling. How you can get more performance out of your PC with the technology, you can read on MeinMMO.

Memory alone would have been worth the purchase price here

Why is the deal so good? Due to the sharply rising prices of RAM, the included processor, and the graphics card, the user snagged a solid gaming PC at a bargain price. 

We provide German comparative prices since we can’t identify which region the user is from. For the components included, you would have to pay about the following prices in Germany (as of 12/9/2025):   

  • For example, comparable 32 gigabyte memory costs about 550 euros, (via Geizhals). 
  • The processor is a high-end model from the last generation of Intel and is worth about 420 euros (via Geizhals). 
  • The graphics card is probably an RTX 4070 Ti Super and is no longer actively produced. Its used value currently lies between 500 – 700 euros (via eBay). 

Thus, the user would have obtained a computer worth about 1,470 euros just from the RAM, processor, and graphics card. All other components have not yet been included. In Germany, value-added tax must also be added, which would make the price somewhat higher.

Community congratulates the lucky user 

How does the community react? The community congratulates the user and discusses the rising RAM prices in the post: 

  • cha0ss0ldier says: “The RAM is almost worth as much as the whole system, cool find!”
  • grimmigerpetz writes: “Man, you got yourself a 2K Ultra setup or 4K system for 600. The PC is worth at least 1,300 dollars.” 
  • Don-T-Bone says: “The system is a mega deal, we could never build a comparable PC for 600 dollars.”

5 Villains from Animes that we would like to switch sides with

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 5 minutes

Basically, most viewers of animes are on the side of the good. However, there are also villains who have a talent for pulling us to their side. MeinMMO has listed 5 villains for whom we wouldn’t care about the world’s well-being.

Warning: On page 3, there could be a spoiler for fans of Chainsaw Man. So only check out the villain if you are also reading the manga and are ahead of chapter 75.

In most animes, the good fight against the bad, although that’s not always so clear-cut. Often, you root for the heroes of the series and rejoice when there is a happy ending and everything turns out for the better.

However, there are also villains who have something attractive about them. Whether it’s their character, their appearance, or their abilities – many scoundrels simply make you weak, and you’d rather switch from the good to the bad.

Select a MMO video…

Therefore, MeinMMO presents you with 5 villains for whom we would even willingly change sides.

Ryomen Sukuna

  • Anime: Jujutsu Kaisen
  • Pulls us to his side with: his power
Jujutsu Kaisen Sukuna Title
The look alone has something arrogant about it.

Sukuna is the “King of Curses” and must initially endure in the body of protagonist Yuji Itadori. At first, he is rarely seen, but when he demonstrates his power, it’s with pure arrogance. 

He has no interest in peaceful coexistence and is driven by the selfish desire to resurrect. Therefore, he acts without regard for other lives. 

Although he is a cruel being, Sukuna has something attractive about him. He knows that he is the strongest and exudes it with absolute arrogance and toxic confidence. Added to this is his deep voice in the original Japanese, which gives you goosebumps just from speaking. There are many fans who would clean his shrine without question.

A fan calculates how much dialogue there is in Baldur’s Gate 3, reveals the biggest chatterbox among the companions

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

Baldur’s Gate 3 offers a lot of dialogue due to its sophisticated characters and the many different choices available. However, one fan wanted to know more and finds out which companions are particularly talkative.

How much dialogue is there in Baldur’s Gate 3? The player Everwhite-moonlight wanted to find out one specific thing in “honor of Larian’s work and all the great voice actors,” and she did this as thoroughly as possible, as she shared on Reddit: She summarized all spoken dialogues of the game. In doing so, she discovered that there are a total of 173,642 voice lines in Baldur’s Gate 3.

These 173,642 voice lines fill a total of 236 hours, 55 minutes, and 45 seconds, meaning you would have to spend almost a full 10 days listening to them all.

The majority of the dialogue is provided by Amelia Tyler, the narrator of the game, who narrates all the events and actions in the game, as a Dungeon Master would in Dungeons & Dragons. This is understandable, yet the fact that one companion in the game takes up almost as much time as the narrator brings a smile to the community.

Eine halbe Million Leute meisterten die schwierigste Herausforderung in Baldur’s Gate 3, doch 4.600 Spieler gingen noch einen Schritt weiter

The community is not surprised which companion talks the most

Which companion talks the most? The companion with the most dialogue in Baldur’s Gate 3 is the vampire spawn of the group, Astarion. Overall, he claims 9,658 voice lines, taking up a little over 13 hours, spending that time talking to companions, mocking NPCs, and slowly but surely addressing his past in conversations with Tav.

Closely followed by Shadowheart (with 9,459 voice lines and about 12.5 hours), the two account for most of the companion dialogue, though there might be a specific reason for this, as the community recognizes.

What justifies the amount of dialogue for both characters? As vikio and Reddit user kiss-kiss highlight, Astarion and Shadowheart are those who can take two significant and different paths due to an important decision each. Shadowheart can become a Dark Justiciar and Astarion a powerful ascended vampire.

Because of these very different perspectives, which also affect their personalities, the characters have suitable dialogue options and voice lines available for both decisions. Therefore, while the two have the most dialogue files, they do not necessarily have to have the most speaking time in a normal gameplay run.

Moreover, the community is quite sure that another particularly talkative candidate should be named the biggest chatterbox of the camp: “How is it that Gale isn’t at the top, given that he always has so much to say?” (Big-Salamander-2158 on Reddit).

Difficult survival building game on Steam forces you to make tough decisions, now rewards your efforts

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

A survival city-building game on Steam constantly presents you with serious decisions. Now, a utopia might await you at the end as a reward.

Which game is it? We’re talking about Frostpunk 2, a survival city-building game by developer 11 bit Studios, which was released on September 20, 2024, on Steam. On December 8, about 15 months after release, “Fractured Utopias” – the first DLC for the game – will follow. 

Actually, the world of Frostpunk 2 is as far from a utopian paradise as one can imagine. An eternal snowstorm envelops the entire world, and you must ensure that as the leader of a group of survivors, they do not tear each other apart in the cold.

The developers themselves describe Frostpunk 2 as a “societal survival game.” For survival, good planning in city building is not only important but also the establishment of a functioning society.

Here is the launch trailer for Frostpunk 2: Fractured Utopias:

Start video
In Frostpunk 2: Fractured Utopias, your efforts as a governor in the post-apocalypse are finally rewarded

Utopia after the apocalypse?

What’s included in the new DLC? Fractured Utopias expands the game with a new utopia mode. In this mode, you can pursue the dream of a perfect society. But this too will come at a price, as not every resident wants to be a part of it.

The population of your city is made up of different factions, each with their own goals and ideals. While the Pilgrims, for example, despise technology, the Technocrats are completely convinced by it. Sooner or later, this leads to tensions.

Each faction in the game envisions paradise on earth differently. Therefore, the DLC provides 8 unique faction utopias. Each comes with a faction idea tree that you unlock node by node. Once you reach the end, you achieve utopia – you won’t have to worry about tensions between individual factions anymore.

How much does the DLC cost? Frostpunk 2: Fractured Utopias costs €12.99 on Steam. The deluxe edition of the game already includes the expansion (and two additional planned DLCs).

The DLC introduces mechanics for building a real utopia, a thought that MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus had even at the release of the game. However, he has already become acquainted with the bitter reality of the game.

Players are analyzing the new Battle Pass of Diablo 4, now convinced that the Paladin will arrive on Friday

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard has already revealed some rewards for the upcoming Season 11 in Diablo 4. Included is a weapon that has never been seen in the game before. Fans clearly see it as a sign for exactly the class that everyone has been waiting for since the release.

This is what players have found:

  • On December 12th, Season 11 starts in Diablo 4, at 5:00 AM German time, right after the Game Awards, which are held that night.
  • A new Battle Pass will be introduced alongside the season, where you can earn cosmetic rewards.
  • One of these rewards is a flail: a large ball on a chain with a handle. This weapon has not been available in Diablo 4 before and traditionally belongs to a class that is not playable in Diablo 4.

This is what fans hope for now: The use of flails is actually known for Paladins, particularly the Order of the Crusaders (seen in the cover image), which appear as playable classes in Diablo 3 and Diablo Immortal.

Fans now see this weapon as proof that the Paladin is coming as the next class. Since release, the community has wished for Paladins as a new class and there have been various hints surfacing lately that give players hope.

The speculation goes even further: the Paladin is expected not just to be the next class, but to appear directly on Friday. Without announcement, but as a surprise – a “Shadow Drop.”

“Otherwise, no reason to postpone the season”

On Reddit, players are already discussing the theories actively in numerous threads with hundreds of comments. It only makes sense that the season was postponed and set right after the Game Awards if there was something that hasn’t been announced yet – like the Paladin.

Apart from the weapon, the season itself also supports that idea. In Season 11, it’s about divine powers and the name or theme alone is already a hint: “Divine Intervention.” So far, there is no class in Diablo 4 associated with divine powers.

However, some users suspect that the class won’t just appear, but will rather be part of a pre-order:

Every time a new class has been introduced to Diablo 3 (Crusader, Necromancer) or Diablo 4 (Spiritborn), they were part of a paid expansion. I think there is a 0 chance that [the Paladin] will be free.

Other users simply dismiss all this as rumors. The postponement happened because they want to consider Chinese players. 5 AM German time corresponds to 12 PM noon in China.

Moreover, it is highly unlikely that a new class would appear outside of an expansion and simply with a new season. In many threads, users even warn against too much hype. Blizzard has promised nothing, and one should not get too excited. Others are already outraged in advance that nothing will happen.

Whether and when the Paladin will appear, or what will happen with a new expansion, we will likely find out at the earliest on Friday. The Game Awards are held on Friday, December 12th, starting at 2 AM German time. It is clear, however, that the Paladin is the most anticipated class: Fans of Diablo 4 have been calling for the Paladin as a new class since release, but who are they?

Pokémon GO finally brings remote trading – Here’s how the new feature works

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, trainers will soon be able to trade over long distances. For this, there is a new friendship level.

The Pokémon GO team has introduced the new long-distance trading feature. Essentially, it consists of two features: on one hand, the long-distance trade, and on the other, the new “Best Friends” level that you can achieve with other trainers.

When will the feature be available? The feature has been gradually rolled out since December 8th, with players in New Zealand being the first. Exact information on when it will be available in the rest of the world is still unknown.

We are providing a brief introduction to the feature here.

Start video
Pokémon GO shows its new season in the trailer

How does the long-distance trade work in Pokémon GO?

You can only conduct a long-distance trade with trainers who are “best friends” with you – more about that below. Once you achieve this status, the trade works as follows:

  • You mark Pokémon from your collection with the new tag “Long-Distance Trade”
  • You can see each other’s “Long-Distance Pokémon”
  • You can alternately select up to three Pokémon from your trading partner. You then submit this wish list.
  • After that, the desired Pokémon are offered.
  • In the end, you confirm or cancel the trade.
  • A long-distance trade is not a special trade – regardless of which Pokémon you trade.
  • Lucky trades also work with a long-distance trade.

What cannot be traded? There are a few Pokémon that cannot be traded.

  • Anything you have caught in the last 30 days. You must wait until these are older.
  • Already traded Pokémon
  • Shadow and Mythical Pokémon
  • Pokémon that are currently in gyms, power plants, or PokéStops
  • Current buddy Pokémon and Mega Evolutions
  • Zacian and Zamazenta in their royal forms

But the new friendship level is crucial.

How does “Best Friends” work in Pokémon GO?

New “friendship points” are introduced into the game, which you earn through interactions like trades, gifts, or battles. Also, the new weekly challenges provide friendship points. They help you level up your friendship.

The new friendship level “Best Friends” is added as the latest, highest friendship level. It allows you to redeem friendship points for XP or more long-distance trades. Therefore, you will likely need to interact continuously to unlock more long-distance trades.

The new MMORPG promises a fresh approach to theme parks, relying on graphics reminiscent of WoW

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

World of Titans has released its first trailer and wants to show what the game world of the finished MMORPG is supposed to look like. However, despite the promised fresh approach, everything looks like it came from WoW.

What kind of MMORPG is this? World of Titans is a theme park MMORPG from developer Archeage Studios. Despite the similar name, they are not responsible for Archeage, but are a completely new studio working on their first major title with World of Titans.

Players can expect a colorful theme park in the MMORPG with many offerings for all types of players. There are supposed to be two opposing factions that cannot stand each other (via worldoftitansmmo.com). Content-wise, players can expect dungeons and raids in PvE, while PvP will consist of arenas on both large and small scales.

Features like professions, guilds, mounts, a reputation system, and other typical MMORPG systems are also expected. A highlight could be the intelligence of the enemies. While the genre is not exactly known for smart opponents, AI is supposed to be used here to equip orcs, wolves, and bandits with some brains.

The developers have now shown how the MMORPG looks in the first trailer:

Start video
World of Titans shows in the first trailer what the game world of the MMORPG is supposed to look like

A lot of WoW for a fresh MMORPG

Is this just a WoW clone? It’s still hard to say at this early stage of development. The developers have shown in the first trailer that they definitely want to head in the direction of World of Warcraft with the graphics. The opposing factions also clearly resemble the Horde and the Alliance.

Nevertheless, the developers want to come up with fresh innovations, as they state in the description of the new trailer. It says: “If you have been waiting for a new interpretation of the classic indie MMO feel, now is the right time.”

According to MMORPG.com, development has been underway for four years and is currently still in an unfinished state that needs a lot of work before it goes to release.

What classes will there be? Even though the developers only show the classes in the trailer and do not introduce them, more information about the classes is already hidden on the World of Titans Discord. As of now, there are expected to be seven different classes.

The classes are not really innovative and sound more like the standard fantasy concept. These classes are expected to include:

  • Assassin
  • Cleric
  • Druid
  • Hunter
  • Necromancer
  • Paladin
  • Warrior

However, how the classes will actually look and what abilities they will have remains unanswered.

A Fallout game on Steam is free, allowing you to build your own Vault just before Season 2

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Right before the start of Season 2 of Fallout, it makes sense to experience the wasteland in a playful way. If you don’t want to engage in a long role-playing game, you can check out a quick building game on Steam, which you can play for free.

What game is it about? In 2015, Fallout Shelter was released on mobile platforms. In 2017, versions for consoles and Steam followed. At its core, the game is a building game. You need to build and manage a vault for Vault-Tec.

For this, you have resources, dwellers, and many options to give your vault a unique touch. If you want to dive back into the Fallout world before the start of Fallout Season 2 on December 17, 2025, but you don’t feel like starting a lengthy role-playing game, you might find what you’re looking for in Fallout Shelter.

Start video
Fallout Shelter Trailer

Free building game with waiting times

What kind of game is Fallout Shelter? Your task sounds simple at first: you must build the perfect vault, a bunker for the Vault-Tec company that is meant to protect the dwellers from the post-apocalypse. To do this, you create various rooms, manage your resources, and fulfill the needs of your dwellers. These are also important for progress in your vault.

You can assign them fixed tasks or equip them with weapons and clothing so they can defend the vault against raiders or monsters, or so they can go on explorations to gather new items for your vault.

At the same time, you need new dwellers for the survival of your vault, who either come from outside or are born in the vault.

The gameplay is quite simple and rather relaxing. You build buildings, assign tasks to dwellers, and solve problems that occasionally arise.

How is the game monetized? Since it is free, there are also various microtransactions in the game. Essentially, you can achieve a lot in the game without spending money. However, it takes time. Building and other processes can be accelerated thanks to items, but they don’t have to be. In addition, there are lunchboxes that also serve as loot boxes.

Fallout Shelter works best if you occasionally open it during the day and start new processes or constructions. It’s perfect for pleasant 30-minute sessions. However, if you are susceptible to microtransactions, you should rather avoid the game.

How is the game received on Steam? On Steam, the 76,920 reviews are 88% positive. Players praise its brevity and that it serves as a game for in between. The monetization is rather divisive. Some users feel it is unnecessary, while others criticize the loot boxes required for various achievements.

The biggest difference to the universe: You have to be better than Vault-Tec

The vaults in Fallout are unfortunately not managed as well in the games and series as in Fallout Shelter. Often, crude experiments were conducted there, and most vaults were not meant to protect their residents but to exploit them for research purposes.

Some of these were quite immoral and inhumane. There are vaults where brutal viruses were tested or where radiation was deliberately released on the inhabitants. We have summarized some of the worst ones here: In Fallout, there are over 100 vaults with terrible experiments – These are the worst

Where Winds Meet bans 5,000 players for cheating, publishes the shame list

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Where Winds Meet, the first cheaters are already attempting to gain an advantage using unauthorized tools. The developers are now addressing the issue.

What have the cheaters done? In Where Winds Meet, there are countless activities that can be completed alone in your world. However, there are also activities like dungeons, PvP, and raids that involve other players. As the developers explained in an announcement on WhereWindsMeetGame.com, some players have utilized unauthorized tools to gain an advantage.

According to them, there have already been cheaters, speed hackers, and users of macro tools. The latter used a tool that automates certain key sequences to always execute the perfect combination of skills. But the developers will not tolerate this.

This is what our experts say about Where Winds Meet:

Start video

Cheaters Exposed

How have the developers reacted? The developers of Where Winds Meet did not just let the cheaters go unpunished, but intervened. They are now stating on their website WhereWindsMeetGame.com that over 5,000 cheaters have been banned so far. They also published a list of the names involved, thus exposing them.

Some affected cheaters are reporting on Reddit, stating they have been banned from the game for a full 10 years. The developers are certainly not being lenient with the cheaters. However, they explain that they evaluate cases individually, especially in PvP.

What about PvP? In Where Winds Meet, there is an active PvP system. Players can compete against each other in an arena and duel. The winner receives points and can continue to climb the leaderboard.

If you fight against cheaters here, losing seems inevitable and doubly bitter, simply because you also lose leaderboard points. The developers have not only banned cheaters from the game but also restricted their participation in PvP modes.

It is conceivable that users of macro tools may not be permanently banned from the game but will no longer be able to participate in PvP modes to maintain a fair experience.

Expert on the Middle Ages evaluates a battle from Game of Thrones, delivers a devastating judgment

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

Game of Thrones is a series that features some great battles. A medieval expert analyzed a scene from season 2 and evaluated the actions of the parties involved.

Who is the expert? Dr. Michael Fulton is an expert in the field of medieval studies and is mainly focused on castle warfare. In a video from the YouTube channel Insider, he examined and evaluated scenes from various films and series.

The tactics shown were particularly important: How do the participants of the battle proceed, what tricks do they use, and how realistic is it all?

In the case of Game of Thrones, Michael Fulton took a closer look at the Battle of Blackwater. As a refresher: This conflict takes place in episode 9 of season 2 and involves the assault on the capital, King’s Landing, where the despised Joffrey Baratheon sits on the Iron Throne.

He and his entourage defend the city under the leadership of Tyrion Lannister, while Stannis Baratheon leads the attack outside the walls. In the end, the defenders achieve a clear victory. However, in the expert’s analysis, it turns out that both sides made mistakes during the battle.

Fans of Game of Thrones will soon get more content: Watch the trailer for the upcoming series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms:

Start video
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms shows in the final trailer that one can expect more humor than in Game of Thrones

The direct route is not necessarily the best

What does the expert say? Initially, Michael Fulton looks at how the attackers rush towards an open gate. This gate is very narrow and is one of three ways to breach a wall in medieval times.

The other two are: Either you use ladders or siege towers to climb over the wall. Or you undermine the wall to destroy it and then enter the fortress through the rubble. The expert describes this tactic as follows:

You dig a large hollow space under the wall. The wall above is supported with wooden posts. Then you throw a lot of combustible materials in. The entire support burns down. The wall above collapses.

Michael Fulton

What the expert warns against is digging under the wall like prison breakers. This way, the soldiers would appear individually on the other side and could be easily dealt with by the defenders.
