Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to bring patches that are supposed to stabilize the gaming experience for all adventurers. However, this very help results in the opposite for many players as their mods break.
What has Larian released? A new update in Baldur’s Gate 3 includes Hotfix 35, which primarily focuses on addressing crashes in the game across platforms, as well as improving performance on the Steam Deck.
However, the bug fixes from the new patch are causing more problems than help for a large portion of players. Fans of mods have to do a lot of additional work before they can continue playing without worries.
Here you can see the animated trailer for Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3:

Larian’s help causes additional work for modders and mod fans
What do some players need to take care of? Players who like to rely on mods in their gameplay to expand and modify their experience in the game have to take care of a lot of additional updates before they can continue with their modified save file. These need to be brought up to date in order to run on the current version of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Those who are currently playing a modified version should take the time to update these mods or avoid the new update, as the game may otherwise not function as intended. While this is frustrating extra work, it has always been the case with mods.
What do the patch notes include? The new patch does not include any new content updates, as was the case in Patch 8. This was part of the last major update that brought 12 new subclasses, a photo mode, crossplay between platforms, and two new evil endings to the game. Larian is now focusing on their next projects, but will continue to ensure that their successful Baldur’s Gate 3 is supplied with patches.
If you are playing with mods or want to play and are looking for a little inspiration, we have picked out for you on MeinMMO the 10 best mods for your runs, from new spells and races to modified mechanics that make your experience in the game a bit easier: Baldur’s Gate 3: The 10 best mods for your run

Next year, the anime of Dragon Ball will celebrate its 40th anniversary, while the manga already celebrated it last year. Accordingly, the creators want to know in a survey which character is your favorite.
What kind of survey is this? Dragon Ball features 212 characters from the manga. Fans are supposed to vote for which character they like the most. In the international voting, there are iconic heroes like Son-Goku or Piccolo, but also side characters, whom the mangaka had temporarily forgotten.
However, there are also characters that you would have never thought would be up for selection. They only appeared briefly in the manga but were still considered for the vote. These include:
A dolphin
Bee the dog
Police officers whose car gets destroyed
A man participating in the Genkidama
A panda family
A farmer with a power level of 5
In addition, there are numerous characters who at least have been given a name but are also only seen briefly.

Here’s how you can participate in the Dragon Ball survey
How can you participate? To take part, you must cast a vote on the official survey page. Choose the character that has captured your heart and click the vote button at the bottom. The survey is available in both Japanese and English.
You can only vote once per day. The survey updates every day at 4 PM Central European Time.
Over time, more and more characters will be eliminated. So check back regularly to vote for your favorite. After each elimination, there is even a chance on X to bring back one of the deleted characters to the survey.
Until when does the survey run? The final results will be available on January 24, 2026, on YouTube. The time is yet to be confirmed.
After the launch of Critical Role’s new animated series “The Mighty Nein”, the first 3 episodes already achieve a perfect rating of 100%. MeinMMO editor Caro also finds that the second animated campaign does quite a bit better than the team’s first Amazon hit.
How do the first 3 episodes of “The Mighty Nein” perform? On Rotten Tomatoes, “The Mighty Nein” already has a score of 96% on the popcorn meter (over 50 audience ratings) and a perfect 100% on the tomato meter (16 critic reviews).
Here you can see the trailer for Critical Role’s second animated series:

Those who liked The Legend of Vox Machina will love The Mighty Nein
What do critics say about the launch of “The Mighty Nein”? On Rotten Tomatoes, the various opinions of different critics not only resulted in a perfect score of 100%, but also provided insight into what makes the series so compelling and good in their eyes:
“The connections The Mighty Nein weaves between its characters are as extensive and diverse as the characters themselves,” writes Belen Edwards from Mashable, and Matthew Aguilar from ComicBook.com finds that the ‘heroes’ of the group simply enchant their viewers: “It’s hard not to fall in love with Jester, Nott, and Mollymauk, regardless of whether you’ve seen the original campaign or not …”
However, the comparison to Critical Role’s first Amazon hit, “The Legend of Vox Machina”, is unavoidable, and it certainly does not make “The Mighty Nein” look any worse.
“The Mighty Nein is a worthy successor to The Legend of Vox Machina and gives the high fantasy adventures that Critical Role masters so well a darker tone,” writes David Opie from Tech Advisor, and Francesco Cacciatore from Polygon states that “The Mighty Nein” will appeal even more to fans of the previous project: “Having watched all eight episodes, I can confidently say: If you liked The Legend of Vox Machina, you will love The Mighty Nein.”
This is what MeinMMO editor Caro says about the first three episodes of “The Mighty Nein”:
I had (and still have) really high expectations for the adaptation of the new series, because I was not only a fan of “Vox Machina“, but “The Mighty Nein” is also my favorite campaign from Critical Role. When I found out that “The Mighty Nein” would not only bring longer episodes but also more content and a whole new pacing, I was absolutely optimistic – and I’m glad to say that this approach is exactly the right one.
The slight reworking of the story to better highlight the backgrounds of the characters and the world, as well as to show how some characters and important duos come together, was absolutely the right decision here.
I liked “Vox Machina“ a lot, but the presentation of the protagonists and their motivations makes the “heroes” of “The Mighty Nein” simply more relatable. They are not as heroic as the characters from “Vox Machina“, have clear flaws, and need to find each other first – and watching that unfold is so much fun.
Overall, “The Mighty Nein” simply feels darker and tougher without losing the charm and humor, which is especially contributed by characters like Nott and Jester. The series takes itself quite seriously, and that also affects the viewer.
I already thought I would love my beloved characters from “The Mighty Nein”, but just by the start of the series, I realize why the second campaign and its personalities are so dear to me.
Next Wednesday, November 26, 2025, the next episode of “The Mighty Nein” will be released on Amazon Prime, which will then be published weekly until the final episode of the first season on December 22, 2025.
Tom Hanks is a well-known and popular actor who has starred in many films. In one of his most popular movies, he appears in two different roles, one of which is not immediately recognizable.
Which movie is it about? We are talking about Forrest Gump, the film by Robert Zemeckis, released in 1994, which has since become a cult film. Even though it is not without its flaws.
Numerous quotes are still frequently recited, just think of “Run, Forrest, run” or the famous saying: “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.”
The quote is just like the character Forrest Gump: lovable yet somewhat naive. Tom Hanks demonstrated a lot of sensitivity in portraying the character and delivered a performance for the ages. This was even rewarded with the Oscar for Best Actor.
What many may not know: Hanks not only plays the title character in Forrest Gump, but also another character. This one only appears for a few seconds and is disguised, so it is not surprising that some viewers did not recognize him.
What is particularly interesting is that the character he plays could not be more opposite to Forrest Gump.

Trailer for Forrest Gump 1994, tragicomedy with Tom Hanks
A Controversial Character
Who else does Hanks play? In a scene, it is addressed how Forrest Gump got his name. According to this, his mother named him after Nathan Bedford Forrest.
For those who do not recognize this gentleman: He is not a creation of the film or the underlying book, but was a historical figure from the USA in the 19th century.
Nathan Bedford Forrest was a Confederate General, fought in the Civil War, but is today primarily known for his role in the racist Ku Klux Klan. This organization still exists today and is highly controversial due to its ideology and violent actions.
In the film Forrest Gump, Nathan Bedford Forrest can be seen for a brief moment. He is played by Tom Hanks and puts on the Klan’s robes, which the character Forrest refers to as “bed linens.” He does not understand the significance of his historical namesake and that it is not flattering to be named after him.
Scenes from the film Birth of a Nation from 1915 can also be seen – a film historically significant, but one that should be approached with caution due to its explicit racist message.

What does the scene convey? The contrast between the racist general and the naive, trusting Forrest could not be greater. Aside from their names, the two have nothing in common. Forrest is lovable, sees all people as equals, and would never think of discriminating against others based on their skin color or origin.
It is yet another way to connect the main character, as is often the case in Forrest Gump, with events and figures from American history.
Moreover, the general and his followers are scarcely taken seriously in the said scene. On the other hand, Forrest wonders why the Klan even covers the horses in white sheets and rides through the land with them.
Since the scene lasts only a few seconds, you might have overlooked this second appearance of Tom Hanks. Or did you recognize him? Feel free to let us know in the comments. The actor has not only delivered hits but has also been self-critical in the past: “Everyone was miscast, especially me”: Tom Hanks talks about one of his worst films

Are you true masters regarding the history of the Night Elves in World of Warcraft? Then our quiz should be no problem for you at all.
Of all the races in Azeroth, few have such a long tradition and so much history as the Night Elves. It’s no wonder they are among the most popular races in the game and are appreciated by many. Night Elves not only have a unique culture in the game but also a very special aesthetic that many players have instantly fallen in love with.
But whether you are true Night Elf fans, you must first prove – with our quiz.

How does the quiz work? The quiz consists of 15 questions with varying difficulty levels and tests your knowledge on all possible aspects of Night Elf history – regarding both the older past and current game events or mechanics.
Depending on how many questions you answer correctly, a score and an evaluation that reflects your knowledge will await you at the end – for bragging or shame. Just as you like. Good luck!
Note: If the quiz is not displaying correctly for you, it may be due to an ad blocker, which you should please disable and reload the page. Once you click an answer in the quiz, that answer is final and cannot be changed later.
If you were unable to answer all the questions correctly, that’s not a problem. Much of the old story is reinterpreted in the game from time to time, and perhaps the knowledge gaps give you a reason to read the quest texts in the Night Elf starting area a bit more attentively next time.
If you want to know more about the Night Elves, we have also prepared an article about that. Because we took a look at the history of the Kaldorei and highlighted who exactly the 5 strongest Night Elves in the history of Warcraft are and why they are still so significant for the current story.

A player was not only confused by a supposedly done player in ARC Raiders, but also by the acting performance of the actual source. The situation not only made the Raider laugh, but the community is also happy to be part of it.
What made the player laugh? On Reddit, a clip of the player Sirsly812 was shared, who encountered a confusing but then funny situation in ARC Raiders:
He shot another player in the game, who then began to scream as if he had completely committed to his role as “dying Raider”.
A loud, impending cry for help sounds as the player searches the room that the downed player had previously dedicated himself to. However, this seems to be safe.
The crawling and – judging by the screams – “suffering” Raider is eventually saved by the player, who then wants to continue on his way… but the cries for help do not stop.
Confused, he turns around again to understand why the opponent can still scream. The desperate voice tries to guide him, which is not easy at first, but after a “Look up!” the player sees what the actual source of the screams is: A Raider is stuck like in free fall in the ceiling of the room and flails about like a pitiful bug.

The proximity chat and the acting performance excite the community
How did the proximity chat contribute to the situation? Due to the voice chat in ARC Raiders, which utilizes spatial proximity in the game, the player could understand that the screaming voice had to come from someone else than the eliminated opponent. That he would find someone hovering at the ceiling was clearly unexpected, and the moment of discovery was so absurd that he simply had to laugh.

Players praise the game’s sound design under the clip, just like the mechanics of the proximity chat. The hall of the voice, the subtle echo, and simply the clear sound design: “With a good pair of headphones, this game just pulls you in.” (@traviswest615)
How does the community react to the clip? The community is just as excited about the situation, as can be seen from the comments on YouTube. But especially the acting performance of the flailing Raider is particularly praised.
“He’s screaming as if he’s dying in real life,” writes @bigbrrrrrrrrrr in the comments on YouTube, and @adu146 also finds that this could be really concerning for bystanders: “His neighbors are currently on the phone to call the police.”
But others also think that this very effort makes the clip so funny:
“The man deserves an Oscar for the performance.” (@Secondhand-Shadow)
“I love it when gamers become 5-star voice actors lmao.” (@GuyJackJoe)
“I think it’s great how we’ve all collectively decided to stay in character in ARC Raiders.” (@ISeeAPattern)
For the second time in the history of the Game Awards, a V-Tuber has been nominated for a category on Twitch. Her boss wants you to give the anime girl a chance – even if she only speaks Japanese.
Who is it about? Alongside Twitch and YouTube stars like Kai Cenat and Moist Critikal the V-Tuber Sakura Miko is nominated. She is employed by hololive, one of the largest companies in the V-Tuber sector. Her avatar is an anime girl with pink hair.
Her favorite games include GTA, Undertale, Minecraft, and Pokémon, as she reveals on YouTube. She also streams party games that have only been released in Japan or horror games like Shadow Corridor.
However, the streamer only speaks Japanese and no English. All viewers who are not proficient in the language will have trouble understanding her. But her boss summarizes quite well why you should still give the streamer a chance.

Sakura Miko only speaks Japanese, but that’s not a problem
What does her boss say? In an interview with PC Gamer, Matoaki Tanigo, the CEO of hololive’s parent company, revealed that his talent faces tough competition, especially due to the language barrier. However, he advises even those who do not speak Japanese to give her a chance at least once:
I hope they at least watch her stream once. If they don’t understand Japanese, there are many highlight clips of her created by fans.
Such clips usually provide translations, and there are even fans who offer translations during the livestream.
Is she really that funny? On Twitch, the V-Tuber has 334,645 followers (as of November 22, 2025, at 9:30 AM). On YouTube, it’s even 2.46 million users who regularly follow the streamer.
While she doesn’t quite reach her competition, according to Statista.com, 1.5 billion people worldwide speak English, while Japanese only has 125.6 million speakers. So, the numbers don’t look that bad anymore.
If you want to see for yourself, you can check out the following clip, which is one of the described highlight clips by fans:

This video can also be understood even if you don’t speak Japanese. Sakura Miko has to imitate certain sounds like bird chirping or a robot with her voice. Depending on how well she does, she gets points.
Every time she reaches full points, she simply screams into her microphone – a language that can be universally understood.
In another highlight, Sakura Miko sings Japanese songs, even a famous intro from Naruto, while being chased in GTA in her pink car (see Reddit). Here as well, you don’t need to understand a word of Japanese.
Fans of Warhammer or anyone who wants to become one can currently grab the full version of a really good game for free on Steam. However, you shouldn’t take too long to decide.
What kind of game is it? Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a co-op action game that somewhat resembles Left 4 Dead in its gameplay. This means: In teams of 4, you fight your way through hordes of enemies and slash everything in sight. There is also a PvP mode where two teams of four face off against each other.
The game is set during the End Times of Warhammer Fantasy. In melee and from a first-person perspective, you will battle against ratmen, beastmen, and other creatures.
Originally released on March 8, 2018, on Steam, the game is currently being offered for free instead of its price of €27.99 on the platform. However, this is a limited-time offer.

How fast do you need to be? Pretty quick. The game will be free to play until November 23 at 7:00 PM. The good news: You can keep Warhammer: Vermintide 2 even after the promotion ends, as long as you add the game to your Steam library by then.
Is the game good? Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is considered one of the best co-op games in the said universe and is also a great way to dive into the world, which can be quite overwhelming for newcomers.
On Metascore, the game has a critic score of 82 points, while on Steam, it’s even better. In the German-speaking region, the average is a solid 91% positive reviews, and internationally, it’s still 84%.
User ratings praise the fast-paced slashing fun, the combat system with satisfying hit feedback, and the co-op gameplay that develops a nice loop in a group.
Is the game still worth it today? Although 7 years have passed since the release, the title is still receiving content updates. Just this week, on November 20, the free DLC “Return to the Reik” was released. It is available on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) and consoles PS4/PS5 as well as Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S.
The DLC adds a new map to the game, already known to veterans from part 1 – albeit slightly altered. And this is not expected to be the last update. The developers revealed in a blog post that more maps will follow.
Maybe you belong to those people who have been thinking about entering the Warhammer universe for a while but haven’t quite mustered the courage yet. Vermintide 2 might be a good entry point. You can access it for free on Steam until the evening of November 23, 2025.
In Season 5 of Stranger Things, the heroes must once again face the villain Vecna. As it has been 3 years since Season 4, MeinMMO reveals everything you need to know about the mastermind of the series.
Who is behind Vecna? Originally, Vecna, played by Jamie Campbell Bower, was the boy Henry Creel. His childhood and teenage years are not entirely clear, as different versions are told within the series. As a child, Henry had problems and was described as sensitive by his own father. He claimed that teachers and doctors said he was broken.
In a cave, young Henry finds stolen research equipment and ends up in Dimension X (which is different from the Upside Down). There, he encounters an unknown entity, but he manages to come back. Henry has changed and developed strange blood. It can be assumed that this is where he gets his abilities. However, the versions of the story differ within the series, especially concerning his age when he found Dimension X.
After an incident, the family moved away, but Henry began to terrorize them with visions and his powers. His mother already suspected that it could be him, but when she contacted a doctor, Henry killed her. He also killed his sister and his father, who can be seen in Episode 4 of Season 4, was blamed for the murders.

Henry’s time as an experiment
How did Henry become the monster Vecna? Dr. Brenner took notice of the boy and told his father that he had died after the death of his mother and sister. However, Henry was taken to the lab in Hawkins and became Subject 001. Several experiments were conducted, but Brenner did not trust Henry.
This is why Brenner wanted to develop other super soldiers with powers for the Cold War. This led to Eleven’s mother participating in an experiment. It is said that she also received Henry’s blood.
In 1979, he used Eleven to remove the chip that suppressed his powers. After that, he attempted to escape from the lab. In the process, he killed several other children and staff members. When he asks Eleven if she wants to follow him, a fight begins between the two.
Eleven manages, with her powers, to nearly finish Henry off, but she opens a portal into which Henry is sucked. You see him flying in, gradually transforming into something monstrous due to red lightning. After a quick cut, you see how he became the Vecna known as a villain.
What does Vecna want to achieve? During his childhood (or after his journey into Dimension X), Henry developed a certain hatred for humans. He clearly expresses this in Episode 7 of Season 4:
They [he’s talking about Black Widows] are the gods of our world. The most important of all predators. They incapacitate the weak and feed on them, bringing balance and order to an unstable ecosystem. But the human world has disturbed that harmony. You know, humans are a unique species of pests. They reproduce and poison our world.
It can be assumed that he is talking about the monsters from the other dimension – like the Mind Flayer. Humans began to disturb their order and balance with experiments. In Season 4, it becomes clear that he wants to open many portals to create gates between the Upside Down and Hawkins.
At the end of Season 4, it also seems that he has made good progress, as not only is the town destroyed, but you see several cracks, red lightning, and the ash-like dust known from the Upside Down. It does not seem to harmonize well with the real world, as you can see plants dying.
As you learn in the first 5 minutes of the latest season, Vecna seems to have been pulling the strings since Season 1. To execute his plan, Will seems to be relevant as well. In the official trailer for Season 5, Vecna shows great interest in Will and even says: William, you will help me. One last time
For the heroes, it is clear for Season 5: They must kill Vecna to end everything.
How powerful is Vecna? After his encounter in Dimension X, Henry has gained psychokinetic abilities similar to Eleven. Thanks to his telepathy, he can delve into the thoughts of his victims. He uses this to drive his victims insane and torment them with fears and traumas.
He himself explains in Episode 7 of Season 4 that he becomes stronger with each victim, as he absorbs them. Like Eleven, he also has the ability to open portals to other dimensions.
Since he allied himself with the Upside Down (and looks like a monster), he has become even more powerful. Through his connection with the Mind Flayer, he can control multiple beings. Among them are the Demogorgons, the flying monsters in the Upside Down, and the many tentacles that can be seen everywhere.
Furthermore, it seems that Vecna is not easy to kill. When the heroes burn Vecna in Episode 9 of Season 4 and shoot him out of the window with a weapon, Will later finds out that Vecna is still alive.

With a current fortune of 63.7 billion dollars, Ma Huateng is the wealthiest billionaire on this list and one of the richest and thus most powerful people overall.
Cedric Holmeier is an expert in Asian MMORPGs at MeinMMO and already knows Where Winds Meet from China. Instead of engaging in cool boss fights, he prefers to simply stroll around in the game and always experiences something.
When I watch my friends play Where Winds Meet, I see intense boss fights, OP combos that defeat opponents in the blink of an eye, and 3 tabs with guides that reveal how to become the best player the fastest.
I am actually the type of progressive player who wants to complete new raids on the first day and then complains about a lack of content. However, because I already tried Where Winds Meet in China, I wanted to do everything differently this time.
This time my goal was to not rush any content and leave my bad MMO habits behind. Instead, I wanted to focus on the thousands of side activities in the game and go with the flow.
For that, Where Winds Meet seems to be the perfect game. There is no pressure to swim with the crowd to complete any content, and there is also no penalty if you don’t utilize everything in a day – perfect for me and my personal challenge.

Schnelle Gründe, warum ihr Where Winds Meet zocken solltet
Side quests are the real main task
Where Winds Meet undoubtedly has an interesting story full of action, drama, and twists, but the real main task is to complete all side quests. It starts right at the beginning of the game.
Even before I had taken the first bird down in the competition, I had felled a bamboo grove for a cat. Even without knowing what I could do with the Miau Miau coins, the gratitude of a cute cat was enough reward for the work.
However, my strolls off the streets often put me in danger. For instance, when I feel transported back to my childhood and a puppet theater appears before me. No one could have guessed that the owner is a world boss who would later wipe the floor with me.
A walk in Where Winds Meet is like a quest
Even now, being much more advanced in the game, I choose a route instead of a quest. It usually leads me to a beautiful viewpoint designed by the developers to appear in the perfect angle before me.
After a little photo session, I then just take any path until a quest appears before me. Unplanned and without knowing what to expect, I help villagers with their everyday lives or arrest a thief whom I then bring to the local police.
Where Winds Meet has managed to turn every stroll into a quest and leads me as a player to new places that look like they were painted. Additionally, I’m rewarded with various collectables that I can conveniently pick up with the F key.
Fighting is not neglected either
If you think I wouldn’t experience anything exciting on my strolls, you’re mistaken. Time and again, I find myself at outposts, world bosses, and caves that other players likely target on the map.
As a result, I naturally come across my clears as well and manage to touch all relevant points. Surprisingly, I enjoy this much more than flying from outpost to outpost in an hour to quickly defeat all enemies, as I’m used to.
Why does it attract me? How Where Winds Meet has turned me into a casual stoller is actually quite easy to explain. The role-playing game simply offers enough content without making a stroll boring. This is mainly due to the fantastic design of the thousand side activities that the game offers, which continuously distract me during my main story.
This brings me a lot of joy and ensures that my inner urge for progress is satisfied even without a “game plan”. It’s nice to have some moments where I can just admire the game, which usually gets shortchanged. However, I still doubt whether I would enjoy my strolls in other games just as much.
Where Winds Meet is a game for everyone and this is reflected by it successfully engaging me, a progressive player, with its world and design, so that I no longer feel the urge to fall back into old patterns and rush everything. I am already looking forward to future updates and especially new areas that will let me dive deeper into the world. But until then, it will take some time: Where Winds Meet: Roadmap and upcoming content

A player warns against using the text chat of Battlefield 6 after being banned for responding to a question.
What was that trap? A player reports on Reddit that he was banned for 7 days in Battlefield 6 and is not allowed to play after responding to a question from another player in the shooter’s chat.
The user warns against using the text chat of Battlefield 6, writing: “I was set up and am now banned for 168 hours. Someone in the chat asked about the event in China with the guy in front of the tank, I responded with ‘Tiananmen Square’ and I was punished.”
168 hours equals 7 days. The player is therefore apparently banned from playing Battlefield 6 for a week.

Why does this lead to a ban? The user attached a screenshot to his post on Reddit that reveals EA’s rationale for the ban. It states: “Inappropriate reference – Violence and tragic events.”.
The described incident refers to the so-called Tiananmen Massacre on June 4, 1989, in China. The Chinese government suppressed a student demonstration at Tiananmen Square in Beijing using military force. As the Federal Agency for Civic Education states, the human rights organization “Amnesty International” estimates that up to 3,000 people were victims, while the Chinese government claims about 300 dead (via bpb.de).
A detailed explanation of why the simple mention of the square without mentioning the event constitutes an “inappropriate reference” is not shown in the user’s screenshot.
This is what the community says about it: One of the top comments (measured by upvotes) suggests that the player file a complaint about the ban with EA. The player did this, but the ban was upheld.
Another player advises to disable the chat or at least not to write names or anything that might be remotely controversial. According to his observation, there are currently quite quick temporary bans.
In ARC Raiders, the NPC “Lance” sends you on the quest “Medical Merchandise” to complete it. However, some Raiders have difficulty with it. To help you complete the quest stress-free, we will show you the solution.
Where do I get the quest? As you progress further in ARC Raiders and diligently complete quests, you will eventually receive the quest “Medical Merchandise” from Lance in the clinic, also called Medical Merchandise.
This quest aims to expand your horizon regarding the procurement of medical supplies on the surface.

How to solve “Medical Merchandise”
Lance wants you to explore some areas and loot containers. These areas are medical facilities or rooms. You need to explore the following locations:
Search 2 containers in the examination room of the departure building in the spaceport
Search 3 containers in the hospital in the Buried City
Search 2 containers in the medical room of the research and administration building on the Dam Battlefields
We will go through all the locations one by one and show you where they are and what exactly you need to search.
Dam Battlefields
The first location on your list is the medical room of the research and administration building on the Dam Battlefields. You will find the building approximately in the middle of the map – it is colored red. Once you arrive and are in the reception area, you should look for an open elevator to get to the first floor using the steel ropes.
Once there, just keep southwest. You will recognize the right room when you see a first aid symbol next to a door.
Here you need to goThis is the right door
Open the door and search the drawer of the desk. With some luck, you will also find a bag in one of the examination areas in the room. Containers include any form of lootable containers such as cabinets, drawers, bags, and boxes.
This is what a container looks like
Once you complete this 2x, you are done with the Dam Battlefields and can move on to the next location.
As a side note: Your quest progress remains, even if you die while looting in your current round.
Buried City
For the Buried City, you only need to visit the hospital. This is located more toward the upper part of the map and is also marked in red. You won’t have to search long in the hospital to find a container, as this place is filled with lootable containers.
Here you will find the hospital
However, be careful when visiting this place. Many Raiders hide at the entrance of the extraction point or inside the hospital to surprise unsuspecting players and then eliminate them.
Spaceport
To find the examination room in the spaceport, you need to visit the departure building. Once there, take the stairs to the first floor. Now keep heading northwest and look for a destroyed lab with a large balcony.
Here you need to goThe examination room is located in this area
In the spaceport, you have to worry less about the Raiders and more about the ARCs. The departure building is infested with numerous robots, not just the popular pops but also turrets. So sneak through the building and try to avoid making noise, otherwise, you will be torn apart by the explosions.
Those were all the locations you should know for the quest. ARC Raiders is a complex game, especially when it comes to knowing which items to take with you or which ones to dismantle. It’s best to use the Recycle Cheat Sheet, which also currently shows which items you should keep: ARC Raiders: Recycle Cheat Sheet – This way you know what to keep in your inventory

For many players, it is particularly frustrating when bad weather occurs during special events in Pokémon GO. However, a group of players did not let this stop them.
Why are players frustrated about bad weather? Most content in Pokémon GO can only be completed when trainers go outside to play. Depending on the weather, this can be more or less challenging.
It becomes particularly frustrating when there is an event with special Pokémon that only lasts for a short time during bad weather. Trainers can miss out on exclusive Pokémon if they do not participate in the event.
Finding and catching Pokémon is more enjoyable in nice weather. However, a group of 4 players has proven that they can still play despite the rainy weather.

Players use pavilion as an umbrella
What solution do the players come up with? A user posts on Reddit how 4 players squeeze under a pavilion roof. Each trainer is positioned at a corner of the pavilion, with the roof protecting all players from the rain. They are focused on their phones, presumably hunting for new Pokémon.
Another user, on the other hand, thinks it is crazy not to use an umbrella for protection against the rain. However, more fans can understand that they simply did not have an umbrella on hand.
The problem with the weather is well known to many players, as playing with drops on the screen is difficult. Coincidentally, during the last event of the Nature Zone, the eponymous nature disrupted. You can check out the problem of MeinMMO author Max in his article: Coincidentally, nature disrupts the Nature Zone 2025 in Pokémon GO
The creator of the post states that events on rainy days do not prevent trainers from playing Pokémon GO. They still go outside to hunt for shinies.

In Black Desert Online, the developers have fixed a faulty event and taken the items back from the players. This leads to high debts.
What is this event about? The “Pearls Blessing” event recently took place in Black Desert Online. Here, players can spend pearls to receive corresponding rewards such as outfits. This gives players additional rewards for their spending in the Black Desert Online shop.
However, there was a bug during the event. When the event started, players were not reset to 0. Instead, all players retained the status from the previous event, which caused many to reach the items further along the event path more quickly.
But the solution to the problem caused considerable frustration among the players.
Here you can see some nice moments from Black Desert Online:

Everything back to zero
How was the bug fixed? The developers only noticed the bug after the event had started. Instead of rewarding the players for their progress and learning from the mistake for the next time, they decided to reset the progress during the ongoing event and only count the newly spent pearls.
Those who had already received items that they shouldn’t have gotten had them taken back by the developers. If they had already been sold, the transaction was reversed as well. This resulted in players losing a lot of silver and some being left in the negative.
The negative amounts occur because the silver gained from the sale was deducted, even if it had already been used for example to upgrade equipment.
This is also the case for a Reddit user, who shows that after the rollback, he stands at -27 billion silver in the auction house. He also shows the notification as proof along with the evidence of how much silver was taken from him. This causes a lot of frustration among the players.

What do the players say about this? Some players claim innocence and presumably thought this was not a bug but rather a deliberate incentive from the developers. Others are simply upset that the problem was resolved this way, forcing players to deal with their negative silver. As players write on Reddit:
Dumbusta: “Lmao wtf? So they just decided to saddle you with 27 billion debt?”
mynameisnemix: “I would initiate a rollback, to be honest.”
MainSmile: “I would just quit, lol.”
Thread creator ArgosVII: “I didn’t know those were unintended rewards. Had I known that, I wouldn’t have used them. Nothing indicated there was a bug. You only found out it was an issue after they finished the event and posted the notice.”
Even though the developers made the technically correct decision, the more popular option would likely have been to leave the event as it was and allow players to keep the additional items. Now they have upset paying players, which should be the opposite of the event’s purchase incentive.
Everyone pursues their own goals in League of Legends. For many players, the ultimate LoL dream is to reach the highest rank of Challenger. The German Twitch streamer NoWay has achieved this 11 times already and almost broke down in tears during the last server.
Why has NoWay reached Challenger 11 times? One of NoWay’s major LoL goals is to conquer the highest rank of League of Legends in every region. In 2025 alone, he accomplished this in several regions like Taiwan, which was the ninth server, or the tenth time Challenger in Turkey.
Now on November 19, as seen on his website lol.noway.gg, he won his promotion match to Challenger and is officially at the highest rank of League of Legends in eleven regions.

NoWay almost broke down in tears
How did he react to the last game to Challenger? In a video on YouTube, NoWay shared his last and most emotional moment during his journey on the Chinese server. After an intense battle at minute 31 of the LoL match, he managed to win the game.
Just before the Nexus, the last structure, fell, NoWay exclaimed an emotional “I am free!” and held his hands in front of his face. For the next 40 seconds, he was speechless and celebrated by his excited friend.
What does a former teammate of NoWay say about the success? His colleague Karni from his time with the German LoL team NNO also commented on the success. On x.com, Sheep Esports shared the news of NoWay as Challenger in China, and Karni wrote in typical German style: “These League of Legends servers are now the property of the Federal Republic of Germany”
NoWay was even banned a second time: During his second attempt to reach the highest rank in China, NoWay was also banned. The reason given was that he played too passively. The ban duration was 7 days.
The viewer Name-om3wq provided an update on the ban in a comment under the associated video. He wrote after about a day that NoWay was unbanned and that it was due to a disconnect during one of his rounds.
ARC Raiders is especially known for its player interactions, which don’t always go peacefully. A fan accidentally found an older Raider and has now shared his heartwarming interaction with him on Reddit.
Which players are involved? The player Bukaja shared on Reddit his peaceful encounter with another Raider, but this was not ordinary. His companion was a 72-year-old player who, despite his old age, still seemed fit.
They had a nice conversation, and Bukaja did not hesitate to help the older gentleman a bit.

What is the story of this old timer? The 72-year-old player shares a bit about himself. He is from Scotland and has been a passionate gamer since 1980 – of course, he wouldn’t miss the chance to dive into ARC Raiders.
Unfortunately, the older gentleman suffers from dementia, but he can keep his brain active with his games. When it comes to ARC Raiders, the player still enjoys himself, even though the robots give him trouble. Bukaja helped the man with numerous answers to questions about quests and loot and even gave him his collected materials just before the extraction point.
He would have liked to give him more, but unfortunately, he didn’t have enough with him. Many, however, appreciate what they see and celebrate the interaction between the two players.
What do players say about the video? They celebrate the older gentleman and share their experiences with seniors in gaming. 3xPuttRubbleBoagie reports about his 65-year-old father and explains that younger generations will likely see older players in their favorite games more often soon.
CitizenLohaRune shares about himself. At 54 years old, he is still into gaming, even in ARC Raiders – he comes from the era of the Atari2600. His father, 82 years old, is also a gamer, but ARC Raiders is not for him – he prefers to hang out in Doom and Quake.
Nightmareszi loves this situation. It shows that gaming is made for every age group and provides a great escape to have fun.

Where Winds Meet still captivates many players with its world and story, completely for free. However, for development to continue, the game needs to generate revenue. An expensive skin could help with that.
How is Where Winds Meet funded? Although Where Winds Meet is a large game with dozens of features, it can be downloaded completely for free. MyMMO expert Karsten Scholz even mentioned in his preview report that it’s too good to be free.
However, the developers from China still need to make money with Where Winds Meet to guarantee future development. There are several ways in the game to spend money. First, there’s the battle pass, where one can purchase a premium variant with better features monthly. Additionally, there are some skins available in the shop.
The most expensive item available in Where Winds Meet is the “Mirage Boat,” and it is quite something.
Start video
Schnelle Gründe, warum ihr Where Winds Meet zocken solltet
A yacht, please!
What can the boat do? The Mirage Boat is a real boat, allowing the owner to sail from the harbor along a predetermined route through Where Winds Meet. The owner can invite friends and other travelers onto the boat, and it also serves as a kind of social hangout.
For building the boat, there is a special reward which is also the most expensive skin in the game, “Celestial Mortal.” This skin grants the character a majestic outfit with many details and effects. Here you can see it:
“Celestial Mortal” skin from Where Winds Meet on a female character.
How much does the yacht cost? Anyone wanting to own such a yacht must spend a lot of money. The boat can only be exchanged for 170 pieces of “Mirage-Ripped Leaf.” These can only be exchanged for “Harmonious Core,” which is primarily obtained through draws in the game’s gacha skin shop.
In short: One must frequently participate in Where Winds Meet’s gacha to obtain the skin.
The chances of obtaining the right items are not officially known. However, in China, players have estimated the cost for the boat to be around 300,000 RMB, which amounts to approximately 36,500 € (via Gamersky.com).
However, the system is somewhat different in the West. We need 170 instead of 120 leaves for unlocking, though we are missing another item that can also be purchased. It is also unclear whether the chances here are the same as those in China.
Do you have to pay for it alone? No, friends and strangers who are not interested in owning a boat themselves can donate their leaves, which they obtained as a byproduct from the gacha, to a boat under construction and receive rewards in return. Therefore, the owner does not have to build the boat completely alone.
Where Winds Meet is free to play, and there is no need to spend money on the RPG. However, for those who wish to, there is a large selection of skins, mounts, and other cosmetic items available in the game that can make your character shine in a new light, although this can get expensive.

Then the developers also promised to expand the endgame of Borderlands 4, announcing the return of the takedowns. These were introduced with the predecessor Borderlands 3 and are considered the most challenging content of the series.
The new takedown is set to be released in 2026 for free for all players, featuring new boss enemies as well as a new area.
Start video
Der Trailer zum Bounty Pack 1, dem ersten Story-DLC für Borderlands 4
Particularly Tough Challenge for Endgame Vault Hunters
How do takedowns work? Takedowns are divided into 2 parts. First, you fight through enemy territories and hordes of foes until you reach the first boss fight. Once you defeat it, the second part of the mission begins.
Again, you fight your way through massive amounts of adversaries until you finally face the big final boss of the respective takedown. Here, a particularly tough battle awaits you.
The special difficulty lies in the fact that in a takedown you have no respawns. If you perish in battle, you must start all over again – even if you failed at the final boss.
In what way is this the best endgame content? Takedowns are characterized by a very high difficulty, which is why you need to optimize your gear. This provides new motivation for grinding and ignites ambition. Additionally, successful vault hunters are rewarded with good loot.
Unlike the raids in the big competitor “Destiny 2,” takedowns from Borderlands 4 can also be completed solo, even though they are designed for 4-player co-op. This makes the missions a challenging yet accessible endeavor.
After a new patch of the Beta of World of Warcraft Midnight, criticism must be withdrawn. One class is really great again.
Anyone who has read my articles about World of Warcraft in the past years knows that I have basically been playing a Shadow Priest “forever”. This has not changed significantly over nearly 20 years.
I always get a little nervous when Blizzard sets out to revamp my favorite class. Because in the past, it has been a regular up and down. There was the absolute peak of somewhat “perfect” gameplay during Legion with the Artifact weapon. After that, there was a constant up and down, where my opinion fluctuated somewhere between “Blizzard doesn’t want me to play Shadow Priest anymore” and “I AM THE VOID GODDESS, ROAR”.

WoW Midnight shows gameplay – All new features
The first version was bad, the new version is good
With the Alpha of Midnight came the next rework and my first assessment was devastatingly negative. Popular spells disappear, entire playstyles are no longer possible, and the essence of what makes a Shadow Priest enjoyable and playable has been dissolved.
A few days ago, the latest Beta patch was released and brought significant revisions once again. The main points are:
DoTs can now be extended through gameplay, namely through the Shadowy apparitions, which extend DoTs by 1.5 seconds with the right talent choice.
Shadow Word: Pain is no longer removed from the spell book by “Misery” and can still be used.
The Mindbender is no longer an active ability but is summoned automatically during Void Eruption.
Additionally, “Misery” does not have to be taken anymore. Players can return to the old feeling of “I have to manage my DoTs individually” and are rewarded with a drastically stronger “Shadow Word: Pain” for doing so.
In Midnight, the Shadow Priest feels complete again.
The changes have led to a moment where the Shadow Priest somehow has clicked – the puzzle pieces fit together, and we have a specialization that feels complete and right again. The gameplay flow is pleasant, and the different abilities all feel like they have weight and a reason to exist. This is a feeling that was completely missing in the first version of the Midnight Priest.
It is obvious that Blizzard has listened to the harsh criticism from the community and has implemented the feedback quickly and clearly.
Sure, there are still a few points of criticism that I do not fully agree with. The fact that the Shadow Priest will have drastically less life steal and self-healing effects still feels strange for a rather fragile class. I would wish for the healing in “Shadow Word: Madness” to be reintegrated or that the Shadow Priest suffers slightly less damage so that one does not have to take a short break after 2-3 enemies while questing – as that simply feels outdated.
Overall, however, I must say that Blizzard has managed to “save” the Shadow Priest through some major and minor changes and to put it into a state that plays fluidly and feels complete. After one of the first Alpha builds was a clear step backward compared to the live version, we now have a variant where I can clearly say: Yes, I can at least see where Blizzard is headed and trust that they will succeed. Blizzard is currently also quite open in admitting mistakes: The WoW boss mentioned that they should have reacted 8 years ago.
