Metashi reveals who will leave empty-handed at the big WoW event on Twitch: “There will be drama”

Johanna 14. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Starting from December 27, 2025, the big Twitch event will take place in World of Warcraft Classic. The streamers Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller, Maximilian “HandOfBlood” Knabe, and Giacomo “Metashi12” Gaviria are planning the event and have brainstormed ideas and names they want to have in the past weeks. Even now, there is ongoing discussion about the participants, and Metashi believes that not everyone can be invited.

What kind of event is this? In recent weeks, the Twitch streamer Metashi has shared new information and ideas about the planned WoW event. A hardcore guild of Twitch streamers is to be created, who will play WoW Classic together. Each Twitch streamer will only have one attempt with their character; if they die, they are out.

A number of content creators have been asked or have inquired whether they can participate. Twitch streamer MontanaBlack seemed disappointed that he had not been asked yet.

The anticipation for the event is high within the Twitch scene and community. It doesn’t matter whether the individual is a professional or a beginner in WoW. Nevertheless, Metashi and his colleagues reserve the right to not want certain people to participate and not to invite them.

Certain streamers are to be excluded from the WoW event

Who is not allowed to participate? When asked by his Twitch chat about further participants, Metashi initially said: “So there will actually be a bit of drama. I have to say that honestly, but we will try to manage it as best as we can.” (Source: YouTube from minute 00:20).

The Twitch streamer continues, stating that he has been streaming WoW for 7 years and would know everyone who streams the game. If someone new starts playing the game, he would always engage with that person.

This has led him to know exactly who he wants to have and who not. He explains that there are “a certain type of people that often stream WoW, who are not really an asset for any events”.

This would be due to their behavior and what is said in the stream, but also their treatment of others. There are enough people who would then not be invited to the WoW event. Also, WoW streamers with a problematic history would not be invited; the event is simply too important to him and others for that.

An exclusion, Metashi continues, is their decision and it would not be missed if certain streamers did not participate. The Twitch streamer then states: “It’s not like we have a duty to invite every person who fucking streams WoW. (…) It’s also our right to say ‘We do not want to invite that person’.” (Source: YouTube from minute 01:55). Behind the scenes, some names have already been discussed regarding whether they should be invited or not.

15 years after Fallout: New Vegas, a dangerous faction returns in season 2, but the series has to explain how that can even be possible.

Niko Hernes 14. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The 2nd season of Fallout shows in trailers that once again many elements of the games find their way into the series. A dangerous faction will likely play an important role, threatening the entire wasteland.

Which faction is it? Also in the first long trailer for the 2nd season of Fallout, members of Caesar’s Legion can again be seen. The faction was a central part of the game Fallout: New Vegas, which seems to be a significant source of inspiration for the new season.

The Legion is not just another faction trying to assert its goals; it is a significant threat that relies on the Roman Empire and could become a major problem in season 2.

You can watch the new trailer for the 2nd season of Fallout here:

Start video

The official trailer for Fallout Season 2 takes us back to the apocalypse

Autoplay

A nasty dictator who loved the Roman Empire a bit too much

What is Caesar’s Legion? The faction was founded by Edward Sallow, who was once a member of the Followers of the Apocalypse. During a mission, he was captured by the Blackfoot tribe. To prevent his death, he helped the tribe with tactics from the Roman Empire. Before his capture, he found books about the Roman Empire and studied them extensively.

Through his tactics, the Blackfoot tribe was able to defeat other tribes, and Sallow gradually became the leader, who thereafter called himself Caesar. He conquered other tribes, integrated them into his group, and killed those who resisted. His goal: He wants to conquer the New California Republic.

To carry out his campaign, he relies on certain cornerstones:

All conquered tribes must submit to his principles and the beliefs of the Legion to create loyal warriors
He rules as a totalitarian dictator and eliminates anyone who does not wish to be led by him
For the peace, a homogeneous culture and society must emerge
Under his leadership, the individual has value only as a worker for the Legion
Technology is frowned upon because, according to Caesar, humanity can only grow through hardship

The warriors of the Legion must undergo harsh training, and in war, Caesar relies not only on a hierarchical structure and troop strength; he also attempts to psychologically attack his opponents with cruel deeds.

More on the topic

von Niko Hernes

The series could explain what happened after New Vegas

What happened to Caesar’s Legion? In 2282, there was a final and second battle at Hoover Dam (the first was lost by the Legion in 2277). The fate of the region and the entire Mojave wasteland lies with the player and the decisions they make throughout the game.

If one chooses to side with the Legion, one saves Caesar from a tumor. This allows them to conquer the wasteland together with the faction.

However, if the player decides to fight against Caesar’s Legion and even kills the leader, it must be explained what happened between the game and the series. The series takes place in 2297, 15 years after the second battle at Hoover Dam.

Thus, the question for the 2nd season is whether the Legion has rebuilt itself, ruled the Mojave wasteland for 15 years, or if a new Legion has formed. An important part of the Legion seems to be a new character in the series, portrayed by Macaulay Culkin.

However, the series does not necessarily have to address the events of the game; it could also diverge and create an alternative version of the Legion.

Pokémon GO: 4 Tips for Olangaar – How to Defeat the Gigantamax Boss

Max Handwerk 14. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Gigantamax-Olangaar awaits you in the Pokémon GO Nature Zone 2025. How do you defeat it? We have tips and counters for you.

What kind of event is this? This weekend, the global GO Nature Zone 2025 is taking place. One of the highlights of this event is the battle against Gigantamax-Olangaar.

What kind of Pokémon is this? Olangaar is the evolution of Bähmon and Pelzebub. The Gigantamax variant of Olangaar is the gigantic version of the Fairy/Dark Pokémon.

To fight it, you need to find a power source where it is stationed and use 800 Dyna-Particles for the battle. But you should expect a tough challenge – because Gigantamax Pokémon are the toughest challenge in the game.

Can Olangaar be Shiny? Yes, you can catch the shiny version of Gigantamax-Olangaar after the battle.

Start video

Pokémon GO: Over 800 Trainers fight in Gigantamax battle

Autoplay

Tip 1: Play as a group against Gigantamax-Olangaar

You will not defeat Gigantamax-Olangaar alone. Instead, you will need a group of trainers. Depending on how well your group has leveled up their Dynamax attackers and defenders, you may need a sizable number of players. Gigantamax battles allow up to 40 trainers. Of course, it’s also possible with significantly fewer players, especially with strong Pokémon. But: Be prepared for a tough battle.

If you don’t have a group:

Use the Campfire app to find organized groups.
Use Remote Raid Passes to join larger groups elsewhere. However, you need to be invited.
Try your luck in busy locations where multiple people might be playing.

Tip 2: Play strategically – not just offense!

The Dynamax feature involves more than just attack. Also use shield and healing attacks to support your Pokémon defensively.

It’s best if you assign appropriate roles within your group. Two players attack, two focus on support.

Also, always switch to your strongest attackers during the Dynamax phase to protect them from damage for as long as possible and keep them in the fight. However, your best attackers in the case of Olangaar are also your best defenders.

By the way: It’s usually not worth using your charged attack outside of the Dynamax phase. Instead, use quick fast attacks to quickly fill the Dynamax gauge. Using charged attacks will only waste your time.

Tip 3: Strong attackers and defenders against Gigantamax-Olangaar

Your teams should leverage type advantages to deal as much damage as possible. Fortunately, two of the currently best Dynamax Pokémon are also strong against Olangaar: Zacian and Zamazenta. Especially Zacian in its Crowned form is a top attacker against Olangaar while also taking hits well.

Strong attackers against Olangaar:

Blade of Justice Zacian
Shield of Justice Zamazenta
Dynamax-Metagross
Gigantamax-Deponitox
Dynamax-Stalobor

Or: Other Pokémon of the types Fairy, Poison, or Steel.

Strong defenders or healers against Olangaar:

Blade of Justice Zacian
Shield of Justice Zamazenta
Dynamax-Heiteira
Gigantamax-Relaxo
Dynamax-Krarmor

Which team? Generally, Heiteira is your best option for defense and healing. Heiteira combined with the legendary dogs is a strong team against Gigantamax-Olangaar.

Tip 4: Support through items and adventure effects

When it comes to items, you can use Dyna-Mushrooms to deal additional damage. This way, you might be able to compensate for not having enough trainers.

Additionally, you could use certain adventure effects (but only one at a time).

Dynamax Cannon by Endynalos increases your Pokémon’s Dyna-attack level. Very useful, however, it does not affect the attacks of Zacian and Zamazenta, as they do not Dynamax.
Giant Strike by Zacian increases your damage.
Giant Impact boosts your defense.

Important: Endynalos is relevant for this fight only because of its adventure effect, which you can activate before the fight. It does not need to be in your team and should not be: As a Dragon-type Pokémon, it is not very effective against Olangaar. However, its adventure effect should be very useful.

The makers of PUBG want to prioritize AI, now offering their employees the option to resign voluntarily

Ody 14. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The game developer and publisher Krafton, known primarily for PUBG is moving forward with an “AI first” strategy. Therefore, it is offering its employees the option to leave voluntarily.

What did Krafton announce? On October 23, CEO Kim Chang-han announced plans to transform Krafton into an “AI first” company, with a strong focus on the use of artificial intelligence. Employees should henceforth “concentrate on creative activities and solving complex problems”.

In the course of this restructuring, it appears that they now want to reduce their workforce and are offering employees the option to leave voluntarily. According to BusinessKorea, they have already started sending out corresponding emails to all employees of the company.

Krafton itself states that this program is intended as support for employees – not as a means to reduce staff: “The core purpose is to help employees proactively shape their growth direction and tackle new challenges within and outside the company in the era of AI transformation”.

The development studio behind the action RPG Last Epoch was recently acquired by Krafton:

New Direction Despite Record Profits

What is the current state of the company? Financially speaking, things are currently looking good for Krafton. In the 3rd quarter of 2025, they reported record profits, as the company announced on November 4. Due to strong performance, they plan to invest over 100 billion Won (around 59 million Euros) in the Indian market and the AI sector.

How are players reacting? Some gaming fans are concerned about the company’s new strategy. While Krafton is primarily known for the free battle royale shooter PUBG, it is also involved in the development of other games – including Subnautica 2, inZOI, and Last Epoch.

Krafton’s decision regarding AI is currently also impacting the Steam reviews of various games published by the company. Players are increasingly leaving negative reviews, condemning the company’s decision:

“There is no place for AI in human art, and no amount of corporate greed will change that,” writes Mortimerski in a review of Last Epoch (Steam), and he is not alone.
“Who will still want to buy or play Krafton’s games when everything is just AI mush and you replace your human employees in HR, customer service, etc.?” writes PrincessHoneyBat in a review of inZOI (Steam).

Player loses something important to a fairy in Dungeons & Dragons, asks the community for advice

Alexander Mehrwald 14. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Many players eventually find themselves in Dungeons & Dragons and also encounter the Feywild, or at least deal with fairies at some point. However, there are some customs surrounding them that one should know better – one player fell victim to this and is asking the community for advice.

What happened to the player? As LikeMy5thAccountNow shares in his thread on Reddit, he made a fatal mistake in his Dungeons & Dragons campaign. He had bid farewell to a fairy with the words “Have a nice day” and thus left her one of his upcoming good days.

The user is therefore reaching out to the community to find out if others would have decided as his game master did, as he himself would have interpreted the situation differently. He acknowledges that the fairy would get one day from him, but he thought she would rather take one from his past.

But the community shows: The problem with the player’s situation is a very different one.

Start video

Autoplay

All a Matter of Interpretation

What does the community think about the situation? In the approximately 356 comments (as of November 14, 2025, 11:20 AM), there are various opinions on the player’s problem. Many users believe that the fairy should not have taken the day, as she would first have needed to ask the player for it.

According to folklore, fairies are primarily tricksters and seize every opportunity to take “gifts” for themselves. However, they also hate being in debt to someone, which is why they mostly “ask” their victims for the gifts.

DarkElfBard comments on this:

You neither said, “You may have one of my nice days,” nor agreed to give someone something. You commanded her: “Have a nice day.”

The reason why “May I have your name?” is a trap is that it asks for your name.

If you had said, “You can/You may…”, that would have left it open to interpretation. But if you simply wish someone a nice day, that will never be understood as them taking one of your nice days.

However, some users also believe that the game master’s decision to take the good day from the player was justified. For if you offer something to fairies, they would always seize the opportunity as soon as it arises, according to their interpretation.

Many commentators also note that most fairies are not such powerful spellcasters that they could alter reality to such an extent and that decisions often stray too far from the rules. Such magical abilities would primarily belong to beings like Archfey and vassals, who could indeed have a long-term influence on memory, perception, and time.

Should the fairy have taken the player’s day? That is indeed left primarily to the individual interpretation of the game master and the players. The rules of Dungeons & Dragons do not have clear rules for this. However, those who want to play particularly rules-conscious should consider beforehand how powerful the fairy the players encounter really is and what spells she knows.

Here it can be helpful to have the stat blocks of suitable fairy creatures on hand and to really only take the spells that are included and “take the gifts” within that framework. Alternatively, you can also create a character of the “fairy” race and choose a suitable class, then decide within that framework. This way you have a little more leeway with the abilities.

That Dungeons & Dragons often allows for significant interpretation even within the rules is also demonstrated by another case in which a group pushes a new mechanic to the limit and even seasoned game masters could be pushed to their limits: “Is this even legal?” – A new form of magic in Dungeons & Dragons causes such high damage that even DMs could be brought to their knees

For 3 years, a user has been observing how his stolen phone travels

Benedikt Schlotmann 14. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A player loses his phone during vacation. Later, it appears at the other end of the world and regularly gets in touch with him. He shares the story of his phone that is traveling the world with the community.

This is what the user reports: The user reports on Reddit that his phone was stolen from him three years ago during his vacation in Barcelona (Spain). But the story does not end there. His phone reappears 8,500 kilometers away in China and gets in touch with him once a week. And this has been going on for three years now. He explained that he has been monitoring his phone as it travels around China.

For the person who bought the stolen iPhone, there is still a catch. The person cannot really use the device, which is due to Apple.

Apple’s “Lost” mode makes stolen iPhone unusable

Here’s what’s behind it: As long as the owner does not “liberate” the device from their Apple account, it is unusable for other people. This is due to the “Lost” mode that Apple offers on its devices. Apple states about this:

When the managed mode “Lost” is activated, the current users are logged out and the device cannot be unlocked. A message appears on the screen, which can be customized by the administrator.

For the thief or the person who later buys the stolen device, the phone remains unusable until the actual owner unlocks it.

Many users in the community warn against being pressured by thieves. A common tactic is to threaten the owner by claiming to have their private data: Even if strangers pressure you and threaten that they have your data on the phone, under no circumstances should you release your device. The possible thieves have no access to your data nor to the iPhone itself. Only when you release the device.

The cooperative campaign should be the highlight of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, but it makes a huge mistake

Dariusz Müller 14. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The campaign of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 was supposed to be special, but shortly after release, fans realize: It has big problems.

What kind of campaign is this? The campaign of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 brings back a legendary villain from the shooter series and is also fully cooperative, playable with up to 4 players.

At the end of the story, which consists of 11 missions and takes players to various locations, the endgame of the campaign is unlocked in the form of a new 12th mission. During the campaign and in its endgame, you can level up your weapons, but the goal is to play your operator to level 60.

Black Ops 7 is thus the first Call of Duty to have an endgame for the campaign. This was supposed to be the big, special innovation and a highlight, but the first players express strong criticism.

The Black Ops 7 campaign makes a mistake that many gamers hate

What mistake does the campaign make? A few hours after the release of Black Ops 7, the first players complain in a gaming forum on resetera that the campaign has no save points (checkpoints) and no pause function, kicks AFK players, and requires an (always online) connection.

Also on Reddit, players express a similar tone. One user calls the entire campaign a big step back compared to the campaign of Black Ops 6.

Why does this bother so many players? Even in multiplayer games like Call of Duty, players often have a recurring demand for the campaign: it must be playable solo offline.

Especially the online requirement is regularly a thorn in the players’ side and repeatedly causes heated emotions, not only due to the often accompanying lack of a pause function.

Blizzard’s Diablo 4 also received criticism for the online requirement.
Also, the failed coop shooter Payday 3 had the online requirement as a major point of criticism.
Even in survival games like Nightingale, players wished not to have to be online all the time. The developers have now responded to this request and provided Nightingale with an offline mode.

A part of the criticism of the online requirement is that games are therefore unplayable when a player’s internet fails. Especially a campaign should be able to function offline and solo for many gamers.

The topic became particularly heated when Ubisoft shut down the servers of the racing game The Crew, because the game then was no longer playable for players who purchased it on disk. It simply disappeared from the libraries of former buyers. A similar fate now threatens EA’s loot shooter Anthem.

You do not get any NPC companions that control Mason’s comrades in battle. However, those operators still talk to you and appear in cutscenes – so they are somehow present, just not by your side in the fight.

36,000 players are currently playing a German survival game on Steam because it finally has water

Benedict Grothaus 14. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

With Wake of the Water, Enshrouded has received its 7th and largest update to date. Players welcome the changes and flock back to the game. The survival game from Frankfurt has more players than it has seen in a long time and they praise the update. There is some criticism, however.

What kind of game is this?

Enshrouded takes place in a world largely swallowed by a strange fog, the Miasma. Most people have died or been transformed.
The game offers classic survival elements such as crafting and building, but combines them with RPG content like action combat and a large skill tree, as well as exploring an open world reminiscent of Zelda.
Particularly, the voxel system has earned Enshrouded the reputation of being “Minecraft for adults” and allows for terraforming like few other survival games on the market.

What’s new in Enshrouded: On November 10th, Wake of the Water was released as the 7th update for Enshrouded, which is still in early access. The developers are continuously working on the game, which is already regarded as one of the best survival games.

The update mainly brings a new area, the Wogschimmer-Grund in the northwest and water as a new feature. Water is fully physical, recognizing pressure, boundaries, and flow behavior. Other highlights include:

a revised combat system along with a new weapon, the great sword
new skills with an expanded skill tree
new enemies, the lizard-like Draka, which can be found in the Wogschimmer-Grund
fishing as a new mechanic, allowing you to catch fish needed for specific recipes
loads of bug fixes and quality improvements, such as increased stack sizes for many items

According to steamcharts, Enshrouded reached a peak of 36,437 concurrent players on Wednesday, with a trend of increasing numbers since the update’s release. The weekend may bring even more, potentially breaking the peak of 42,000 from November 2024. Enshrouded had only more players at launch.

Select a MMO video…

“Oh yes, let’s get wet!”

Wake of the Water is well received on Steam. The game’s ratings are already “very positive,” but the graph shows a strong increase in positive reviews since the release of the update – and only a modest rise in negative ratings.

Looking at Steam and Reddit, especially the water feature has generated excitement. The ability to create ponds, irrigate fields, and design entirely new bases seems to thrill many fans. Additionally, many are trying their hand at the new components for beautiful bamboo huts by the beach.

Smaller, less noticeable changes like larger item stacks are also receiving a lot of approval. The general sentiment is: Enshrouded was good before and is now even better.

Enshrouded is even officially the best German game, although it is still in development.

Criticism mainly focuses on the new balancing and… the water, although mostly from the top. Many weapons have been revised and their “legacy” versions are now significantly stronger, as one user shows on Reddit. So be sure to check your chests to see if you have any treasures lying around.

The second major complaint is stamina. It has become significantly more challenging to manage since the update and requires a “Rested” buff so that you don’t only move stealthily.

While attacks no longer require stamina, it is now more difficult to regenerate stamina at all. Additionally, you get wet when it rains (or in the water), which cannot be avoided and further hinders regeneration.

Despite the criticism, Wake of the Water is well received by fans, as shown by player numbers. Those looking to start new have a vast world to explore and many contents to discover. But don’t be fooled by the peaceful vibe: I actually just wanted to fish in the new update of Enshrouded, but got beaten up too often

Players of Battlefield 6 complain so much about the size of the maps that the developers are now responding with a radical step

Cedric Holmeier 14. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

After players of Battlefield 6 have been complaining about the size of the maps since launch, the developers have now made a significant change and are simultaneously reviewing all maps.

What bothers the fans? Fans of Battlefield 6 have consistently expressed criticism regarding the size of the maps since the release (via Reddit). Many fans see the issue primarily as the maps being too small, often resulting in stalemates. In these cases, there is often a prolonged standstill without any movement.

In fact, vehicles were supposed to help break that standstill and get the game back in motion, but fans complain that the vehicles are too weak for this task. Thus, on the small maps, it turns into a meat grinder where both sides make no progress but constantly eliminate each other.

While some fans view this as an overcorrection after the too-large maps from Battlefield 2042, the developers have now taken initial steps to combat the problem.

Here you can see the maps:

Autoplay

Fewer players and all maps under review

What have the developers announced now? In a new community update on ea.com, the developers of Battlefield 6 addressed the maps. They stated that they take player feedback seriously and are reviewing the map design and size.

With the new maps, they want to offer additional variety and bring different play styles back into focus. They are looking not only at the current situation on the official servers but also at what players build in the Portal game mode.

The developers further explain regarding the balance of action and variety: “Maintaining this balance has always been a priority for us, and we are committed to offering a variety of map types in future seasons.” However, players do not have to wait that long.

What measures have the developers implemented immediately? The developers of Battlefield 6 took the first action shortly after the update. They reduced the maximum player count in Breakthrough mode on the maps: “Empire State”, “Manhattan Bridge”, “Liberation Peak”, “New Sobek City”, “Blackwell Fields”, and “Siege Of Cairo”.

Where previously 64 players faced off in 32vs.32 battles, now only 48 players fight in 24vs.24 battles. This results in fewer stalemates in the game and fewer kills are needed to advance. The maps Mirak Valley and Operation Firestorm have maintained their player size of 64 players.

This decision is controversial among fans. Under a post by @BFBulletin on X.com, many fans express their frustration with the change and state that player count was not the problem with the maps.

Finding the right balance is the top priority for the developers and it is also urgently needed, as players have been waiting far too long for changes.

The WoW boss explains why the battle against addons had to happen right now

Cortyn 14. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The end of many addons in World of Warcraft is approaching. Blizzard explains in detail why this must happen right now.

The beta of World of Warcraft Midnight has started and one of the biggest and most controversial changes ever in Azeroth is coming to the game. Blizzard has launched a campaign against addons and maintains a clear stance: all interface addons that provide a gameplay advantage will no longer be functional in the future. This primarily affects powerful addons like WeakAuras.

Parts of the WoW community are extremely skeptical and hope for a change of mind from the developers. However, the Game Director explains why such a revision must take place – and why now is the right time.

Select a MMO video…

What has the Game Director done? The design philosophy and plans behind the “fight against addons” have been disseminated over the past months through various interviews and videos. It has been difficult for the community to get a comprehensive picture of the topic. This led to many misunderstandings and confusion. The Game Director of WoW, Ion Hazzikostas, then explained in a lengthy post on the official WoW site exactly why this step is now being taken, what the plans are, and why waiting is not an option.

Why isn’t Blizzard waiting for good solutions?

Many in the community welcome the step, but would have preferred more time. Because Blizzard’s solutions, such as the “official” damage meter and some of the other new assistance options, are not yet functioning perfectly. The clear wish: Only when Blizzard’s offerings are nearly perfect should addons be disabled.

On the one hand, Blizzard is confident that they can offer most of the internal features at the launch of Midnight, but on the other hand, the Game Director sees another aspect: If this step is not taken now, the whole process would have to be postponed by years – likely at least until the next addon “The Last Titan.”

Since the developers set the goal of implementing these changes by Midnight, they were also able to develop all the content of the expansion in accordance with these adjustments. All dungeons and raids with all their mechanics were developed with the knowledge that many addons would no longer exist. Therefore, some abilities have more time to evade or effects are clearly recognizable. The entire difficulty is adjusted so that there are no addons that can drastically simplify mechanics. Hazzikostas stated:

In the end, we had to decide whether we wanted to design our content around powerful addons for a few more years, which would make it impossible to satisfy our entire community, or whether we wanted to move forward now and find solutions within this new paradigm. That’s why the disarmament of addons comes with Midnight. The team is determined to support the community in every possible way, adjust the logic behind the restrictions, and provide new access points for addon developers to make this transition successful.

The problem with cosmetic addons

Another problem is that many providers of cosmetic addons, such as ElvUI, have already announced that they will not follow these steps according to the current status. This caused unrest in the community: why are cosmetic addons restricted if the goal is only to prevent addons that provide clear gameplay advantages?

Blizzard wants to allow as many visual customization options as before, but this may require extensive work from some addon developers. Because until now, addon creators had extreme freedom in how they structured their addons – including cosmetic ones. Some of these seemingly purely cosmetic addons rely on data that will no longer be available in the future, even if it is not immediately obvious:

The countless authors who have created addons for WoW over the years have each chosen countless different approaches to structuring their code. This means that two addons providing nearly identical functionality to players can be very differently built behind the scenes and thus very differently affected by the changes in Midnight. Some addons may and will function without issues in Midnight, but they have not yet been updated by their authors. The required work can be very simple or quite complex.

von Sophia Weiss

Even though this summary was not able to address all criticisms and questions of the player base, we now have a significantly better overall picture of what the developers are trying to achieve and why Midnight is the perfect moment for it. Whether it works out as envisioned by the WoW team will likely be seen in a few months, as that is when the release of the new expansion is.

Other Twitch streamers tackle huge constructions as groups in Craft Attack 13, one wants to do it alone

Johanna 14. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Craft Attack 13, about 100 Twitch streamers come together, who have taken on large construction projects in groups. Florian “Varion” Kiesow is participating for the first time and prefers to carry out his builds alone.

Who and what is it about? Currently, the Minecraft Twitch project Craft Attack is running, which is in its 13th season. German-speaking Twitch streamers come together on a Minecraft server and play together.

Groups form, each pursuing different goals or massive construction projects. For instance, the group around HandOfBlood calls themselves “The Pillars” and is building a huge underground city. Trymacs has also teamed up with other Twitch streamers and wants to build an oversized golem out of copper with them. Their name is fittingly “Golems”.

One streamer has actively decided against playing in a group: Twitch streamer and YouTuber Varion. He has found his own area on the Minecraft server to implement his construction project alone. He is not doing this due to bad blood, but simply because he prefers to play solo.

Varion wants to build an entire city alone

What does Varion plan? Varion has made it his mission to recreate the harbor city of Khorinis from the game Gothic. The area he has chosen for this is vast, and the city itself is not too small in Gothic either. Varion does not want to recreate the city as a miniature but “life-sized”.

Besides active building, gathering materials is also very time-consuming. According to SullyGnome.com, he has already spent over 42 hours on the project in the last 30 days.

However, these are only the hours he has spent live on Twitch. A large part of the terraforming has been done offline by Varion, which further increases the actual hour count.

While building, Varion is not completely alone all the time. Even though he does not have an affiliated group, he still talks with other players.

Building can appear monotonous for both himself and his Twitch viewers. Therefore, Varion frequently chats with his Twitch colleagues on stream, discussing various topics with them.

Viewers who want to follow the construction project but do not have 42 hours of free time can catch up on the progress in edited form on Varion’s second YouTube channel Varion Live.

Craft Attack 13 and the game Minecraft itself offer players many opportunities to be creative. Trymacs also has his own way of playing the game. In addition to the construction project of a giant golem made of copper, he has specialized in another thing: While Twitch streamers build bases and have adventures, Trymacs pretends to play a different game in his Minecraft project

A notorious story ruined Spider-Man’s life so much that the author of Game of Thrones still can’t forgive it even 18 years later

Niko Hernes 14. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Spider-Man is known for having to suffer greatly in his many stories. One infamous story is so poorly received that even George R.R. Martin, the author of Game of Thrones, commented on it.

What did George R.R. Martin say? In an interview with Popverse (via YouTube), George R. R. Martin spoke at the New York Comic Con 2025 about various topics, especially about comics. He himself is a big comic fan. However, what he does not like are retcons. This means that established stories or structures are changed retroactively.

I am frustrated about that as well. I must admit. I don’t like retcons. I don’t like reboots, you know. I have followed a character or a superhero or something for years, sometimes decades, and then they come and say: Oh no, none of that really happened. We are just starting over.

Referring to the retcons, he mentions the Batman sidekick Tim Drake, but also a specific situation that he seems to find quite frustrating: Peter married Mary Jane […] You can’t undo these things, but they do it nowadays.

This is a reference to the Spider-Man storyline One More Day, which seems to be unpopular not only with George R.R. Martin. Large parts of the community hate this story. If you search for Spider-Man One More Day on YouTube, there are several videos discussing how it has ruined Spider-Man. But why is that?

Select a MMO video…

Spider-Man just can’t catch a break

What kind of Spider-Man story is this? In 2007, the comic storyline One More Day was released, focusing on Spider-Man. After his identity was revealed following the events of Civil War, Peter Parker’s Aunt May is in the hospital. The Kingpin has put an assassin on Peter, who ends up shooting May.

He tries by all means to save May, who is dying. But no one in the universe seems to be able to help. Suddenly, Mephisto appears, one of the most powerful villains in Marvel. He offers the hero a deal. He must sacrifice his marriage to Mary Jane so that the demon can feed off her despair, even though the two won’t know that they were ever married.

Peter and Mary painfully accept the deal, and Mephisto nullifies the marriage, makes everyone forget who Spider-Man is, and saves May.

Why is this story so hated? Even the basic premise is a problem. Why did Mephisto want to end the two’s marriage so badly? It feels very contrived to reverse their relationship. Another point is Peter himself: Spider-Man stories often tend to make Peter’s life a living hell. No character development is allowed. This is also the case with the marriage.

The then editor-in-chief Joe Quesada said in an interview with cbr.com:

I have not made a secret of the fact that I believed that a married Peter Parker would not be the best for an ongoing Spider-Man universe. The problem was that we never had a reasonable way to get out of it. I always said that if we ever found a way to do it, I would pursue the avenues that led us there.

The user scummerss describes in a Reddit comment well the fans’ opinion: The most popular couple in Marvel comics was separated and their marriage was declared non-existent. A relationship that was built over years was simply ended in 2007 because they didn’t like the marriage.

After their first Amazon hit, Critical Role brings the next series, delivering episode 1 directly for free for everyone in advance on YouTube

Caroline Fuller 14. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Actually, the new series adaptation of Critical Role’s campaign “The Mighty Nein” was supposed to be released in about a week. But fans were surprised with the first episode before the official release, and it’s completely free and without a subscription on YouTube.

What is officially available now? The first episode of Critical Role’s “The Mighty Nein” has already been released before the official start on November 19, 2025. But not by a cheeky leaker – rather completely officially from the YouTube account of Prime Video.

You can now watch the first episode of the new adventurer group completely free and without a paid Prime subscription on YouTube, either with the original voices of the group in English, or dubbed in German.

But Attention: It will only be available to you until Sunday, November 16, 2025! So if you want to see the episode in advance, you should take advantage of the weekend!

Here you can see the trailer for The Mighty Nein:

What can already be seen from the first episode? What fans will first notice, especially those familiar with Critical Role’s first Amazon series “The Legend of Vox Machina”: The duration of the first episode of The Mighty Nein is almost twice as long as that of the first animated series, lasting a full 45 minutes.

The reason for the new episode length of the new series has already been explained by the group, stating that they learned from their previous mistakes with Vox Machina and therefore refined the pacing of the new project. They want to take their time with longer episodes to better develop the world and characters for which Critical Role is so popular.

Spoiler-free Preview

What will be shown in the first episode? We don’t want to give too much away – as the author of this article doesn’t want to be too spoiled either. Nevertheless, we present you as spoiler-free as possible what you can look forward to.

Travis Willingham explained in an interview with Polygon that the series starts with a kind of “Session Zero” where the backgrounds are clarified and the expectations of all participants are discussed in real Dungeons & Dragons. And upon first glance at episode 1, this statement seems to be true. At least for a handful of selected characters.

The series begins in a time before the actual campaign started, as seen back in the livestream. When it began, Beau, Fjord, and Jester were already adventuring together, as well as Caleb and Nott. The first episode of the animated series shows some events that led to the occurrences of the first streamed episode in the campaign.

If you want to watch the episode before it gets taken down, you should plan a three-quarters of an hour of your time this weekend.

If you want to see The Mighty Nein at the official start, you’ll have to wait a little longer, but even 5 days shouldn’t be a major challenge after all this waiting. If you want to learn more about the new series from Critical Role, you can do so here on MeinMMO: A new fantasy series on Amazon Prime relies on the probably most famous streamers for DnD, showing the characters in a first clip

The new season of 7 vs. Wild interests fewer viewers than usual, while fans think it is particularly good

Cedric Holmeier 14. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

A new discussion has broken out among fans of 7 vs. Wild. According to the latest data, it is currently receiving less favorable reactions than previous seasons, although many fans find it particularly good right now.

What is being discussed? Since the botched announcement of 7 vs. Wild Season 5, many fans have expressed significant concerns about the presentation of the series. YouTuber Klengan recently explained in a viral video what went wrong this year.

A fan has now utilized publicly available Google Trends data and compared it with previous seasons. The Google Trends data shows how many people are searching for a certain topic or search term.

In a screenshot on Reddit, the user has shown how the data from the latest season compares to previous ones. The Amazon season reaches only about a third of the search volume of earlier seasons.

The view counts on the YouTube videos are also lower than in previous seasons. While many viewers watch 7 vs. Wild on Amazon Prime Video, the hype around the series was bigger in previous years. Yet, fans actually like it particularly well this year.

Do you still remember Knossi?

Actually a good season, but …

Why is the season good? 7 vs. Wild Amazon is factually a good season because it offers what fans have wanted to see for years: bushcrafting, alternating locations, diverse animals, weather changes from warm to cold, no conflict within the group, and a hard survival routine.

Although 7 vs. Wild Amazon is not the hardest survival experience, as the trailer promised, the new season demands a lot from the participants, and with the constant changes of location, simply sitting out is impossible.

This is also how many fans see it, who have praised the new season for weeks. Yet, the numbers on YouTube and Google Trends are against the new season, but fans have an explanation for that.

What is it about? According to fans on Reddit, since Fritz Meinecke’s departure, the production has poorly managed the promotional phase. This apparently began with posting the participants without prior announcement on Instagram, and continued with posting a trailer that turned out not to be one. Thus, viewers explain on Reddit:

Lexonyi: “I miss the prep episodes of the participants. It’s clear that they generated great attention.”
LittleRunaway868: “It’s undeniable that at least in the PR part, things have been done poorly in this season. Are there people denying this?”
Weedalf: “I think the marketing on Amazon is also to blame. I find 7vsWild was particularly captivating because it was relevant all over YouTube. Direct exchange about the episodes in the comments, reactions with additional value, where experts shared extra knowledge, the reactions of the participants, where you could dive back in, etc. Now, 7vsWild can’t really be repurposed. You watch the episode, and that’s it.”
Redhit-Kit: “I’m not a fan of influencers. Didn’t even know a Knossi. But it’s undeniable that the participants from previous seasons were simply much more entertaining, and they garnered more media attention. This season feels like two scouts with their Catholic kids in the woods.”

For fans, it’s clear that the preparation and promotional phase of 7 vs. Wild went anything but well in Season 5, and not enough attention and anticipation for the season was generated. Whether 7 vs. Wild really performed worse can’t be definitively determined, as the view counts from Prime Video are not publicly available.

It remains to be seen whether next year will be better or if another new season will even come. The major scandal of the season has at least been clarified: A contestant from 7 vs. Wild defends against allegations of theft, stating that they only borrowed the equipment

If you read the manga of One Piece in German, you missed a touching detail about Luffy’s brother Ace

Jasmin Beverungen 14. November 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In One Piece, most fathers do not play a significant role. However, a deceased father reveals another connection to his son.

Attention, spoiler: Here there are spoilers for Chapter 1165 of the One Piece manga, concerning Ace and his father.

What is this detail? In Chapter 1165 of the One Piece manga, Luffy’s grandfather, Monkey D. Garp, and the King of Pirates, Gol D. Roger, fight against Rocks D. Xebec in a flashback. The pirate was attacked by Imu and can no longer act of his own free will.

Garp uses his “Infinitum Explosion” attack, while Roger uses the attack “God of Fire: Ace,” at least in the English manga. The attack was named after his sword, which is also named Ace. Roger was known for being an exceptionally skilled swordsman.

And just by the name of the attack and the sword, it becomes clear where his son Ace got his name from. This is especially touching because Roger had already passed away when Luffy’s “brother” was born, and as a swordsman, his sword was probably very important to him. Luffy’s father rarely shows up either, but he is actually a great dad.

Ace at least has the certainty that his father chose his name. However, readers of the German manga miss this detail.

Other translation in the German manga

Why is it missed in German? In the German version of the scene, it was decided to stay closer to the Japanese original. Roger’s attack is called “Hi-No-Kagutsuchi-Ace” in Germany. Literally translated, it means something like “The God of Fire: The Wise Scholar”.

In Japan, Ace is pronounced “Eisu.” There, readers also understand what the attack refers to. In the German manga, however, this meaning is lost, as the name is spelled and pronounced differently here.

Moreover, readers need to understand Japanese to translate the “Hi-No-Kagutsuchi” before it. Therefore, anyone reading only in German misses the emotional detail connecting Roger and Ace.

Where Winds Meet: The best settings on PC for more FPS

Benedikt Schlotmann 14. November 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Where Winds Meet is a new action RPG for PC and PS5. MeinMMO explains what you should consider regarding the settings.

[toc]

With Where Winds Meet, a new action RPG from China launches in Europe. What you should consider at the start if you want to jump into the game with high FPS, you can find right here with us on MeinMMO. You can also read our technical outlook on how the game runs on PC in this article.

A positive note upfront: Even with the lowest settings, the game still looked very good in beta. Ultra stands out mainly due to more details, better resolution textures, and improved lighting. More details about that can be found in our article.

Notes: In our beta version, there were still a few inconsistencies: With one colleague, DLSS did not work as expected, and some changes in the graphics settings had no real effect on details in the game. Once, the game crashed after a change.

Where Winds Meet: The best settings on PC

Display

Visual style: Select as desired. Changes the color representation
Brightness: Adjust if necessary
Motion Sickness Reduction: Activate if necessary. The game will then change certain settings automatically
Display mode: Fullscreen
Resolution: Monitor resolution
Select monitor: Select active monitor
FPS limit: 120 FPS
V-Sync: If necessary
Motion blur: Disable

Super Sampling

Note: In the beta, we were able to test FSR and DLSS. Here, we faced the puzzle that the FPS significantly increased with FSR, while with DLSS it remained almost identical. Whether this is a bug or correct, we do not know.

The game ran smoothly for us even without upscaling methods. With DLSS, FSR, and Co., you can further increase the FPS if needed. However, it was not mandatory for us, as the game gives a good and smooth impression even without so-called “fake frames”.

Super resolution type: (XeSS, FSR, DLSS)
With DLSS: Balanced
With FSR: Resolution quality: 70
Antialiasing: Activate

Visual Details

Graphics quality: Custom
Ambient quality: High
Tessellation: Low
Vegetation quality: High; we found no impact on performance
Lighting quality: High
Draw distance: Low; can provide you with up to 20 FPS more depending on the setting if you forgo high settings
Effect quality: Medium
Reflection quality: High
Real-time sunlight: Activate; this makes the game look better and the setting consumes hardly any performance from us

General Performance Check

Low vs. Ultra: For a test, we stood in the bustling city of Kaifeng in the game and tested performance. Switching from Low to Ultra causes FPS to rise significantly, with currently only slight losses in graphics quality.

Native vs. FSR: With FSR activated at 70% resolution quality, FPS significantly increase and exceed 200 FPS in Low with Frame Generation.

Native vs. DLSS: A colleague activated DLSS in her game but did not notice any improvements in FPS. This might also be a bug. Normally, the frame rate also significantly increases with DLSS activated. We will test at release if anything changes here.

Test system: Ryzen 7 7800x3D, Radeon RX 9070, 32 GB RAM, WQHD resolution | Test location: City center of Kaifeng | Installation type: Standard

	Low	Ultra
FPS values (without DLSS/FSR)	130 FPS	80 to 90 FPS
FSR, without Frame Generation	130 – 140 FPS	100 FPS
FSR, with Frame Generation	240 – 260 FPS	180-190 FPS

What exactly the game is, is hard to summarize in short, as it combines extensive single-player content with MMO elements and is supposed to deliver a huge range of gameplay components.

5 Tips from the LoL God Faker personally to help you improve in the game

Nico Scheibel 14. November 2025 Reading time 5 minutes

Faker has now become the World Champion of League of Legends for the 6th time. We have gathered some tips from the LoL God himself so that you can improve your game.

Who is Faker? The South Korean Lee Sang-hyeok, better known as Faker, is the midlaner of T1, arguably the most successful team in the history of League of Legends. Many players refer to him as the Gamer Of All Time (GOAT) and he secured the title “The Immortal Demon King” after his first appearance at Worlds in 2013.

Faker has participated in a total of eight League of Legends World Championships and has won six of them. He also holds the record for the most titles in Korea’s regional league, the LCK, with a total of ten.

In addition to his numerous titles, he has also received several awards. He has been named “Best Esports Athlete” three times and even won the award for “Esports PC Player of the Decade” in 2025 (lol.fandom.com).

Autoplay

What tips will you learn here? Faker has shared some gaming tips. Some of these tips relate to general preparation or how he deals with certain situations.

Faker has also revealed must-haves for LoL players, suggesting that every aspiring player and midlaner should play certain champions to learn specific mechanics of the MOBA.

The first tip is simple but very important for competitive environments like League of Legends.

5. Learn to relax

How does Faker relax? Matches in League of Legends or other competitive games can often be intense and stressful. Faker himself says he has gotten used to playing under pressure and has devised methods to calm himself.

He meditates before matches to clear his mind of everything happening around him so that he can fully focus on League of Legends. However, his ultimate comfort weapon is an item that most people could have at home: a simple green houseplant.

He places these plants in visible spots to remind him to water them. He further explains that the plants relax his eyes and free his mind. The color green also has a calming effect on Faker.

How does this tip help you? If you have already lost the previous round or it was very nerve-wracking, it is good to take a little break to clear your thoughts. Try meditating like Faker or find your own activity or item, like a green houseplant, that helps you detach your thoughts from negative LoL experiences, even if it’s just a short walk.

Although Throne and Liberty is the latest MMORPG from NCsoft, the publisher has completely ignored the game in their quarterly reports since the launch. Only due to a question from an investor were there finally details about the success or failure.

What are these details? In the same financial call with investors where the release timeframe of Aion 2 in the West was discussed, NCsoft officials also briefly mentioned Throne and Liberty. The corresponding section was about the payment model of Aion 2, and the publisher explained:

As for the monetization model for AION 2, we have opted for a less aggressive and more user-friendly model. I believe that revenue is a combination of the gained user base and the payment rate. We are convinced that with a lighter business model we can acquire a larger user base.

You will probably know it within a week once we release our title. But for your information, I would like to mention the case of Throne and Liberty. We assume that revenue has been around 200 million dollars within a year and the payment rate and user base were quite high.

In March 2022, the development costs for Throne and Liberty were estimated at 75 million euros. Back then, no one suspected that the global release would only take place in 2024.

Unloved but surprisingly successful

Why is this special? Take a look at any financial report from NCsoft from the last quarters. Also the current report for Q3 2025. You can find these at corporate.nc.com. At least one slide of the document always talks about the revenues of the most important NCsoft games.

Always included each quarter: Lineage M, Lineage 2M, Lineage W, Blade & Soul 2, Lineage, Lineage 2, Aion, Blade & Soul and Guild Wars 2. Which game is missing every quarter despite having been globally released on October 1, 2024? Exactly, Throne and Liberty.

Concrete, officially confirmed figures from which the success or failure of Throne and Liberty can be inferred have been lacking. At least Amazon Games revealed after the launch that within the first launch week, 3 million players stormed the servers.

On Steam, the MMORPG reached an all-time high of 336,300 concurrent players at that time (source: steamdb.info). However, by December 2024, the number had already dropped to five digits. This year, there were two minor peaks that could briefly interrupt the constant negative trend in player numbers on Steam:

50,789 concurrent players in March, thanks to the expansion “Wilds of Talandre”
28,353 concurrent players in September, thanks to the extensive September update.

Currently, there are barely 20,000 players on the servers during prime time. Overall, NCsoft seems satisfied with Throne and Liberty. At least so satisfied that they want to use the payment model as a blueprint for upcoming prestige projects like Aion 2.
