Solo players in ARC Raiders work together to solve a puzzle, but a Twitch streamer betrays the whole lobby

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer stankRat has shown a clip from one of his streams on social media, in which he backstabbed a large group of friendly players in ARC Raiders.

What kind of streamer is this? stankRat is an English-speaking Twitch streamer who showcases various games on his channel. However, he is primarily known for the extraction shooter Escape from Tarkov (EFT), which he has streamed for over 376 hours in the past three months.

In recent days, stankRat has been playing mainly the new genre competitor to EFT, ARC Raiders. He regularly reaches over 700 viewers simultaneously and entertains his audience with treacherous and devious actions against other players.

Streamer backstabs a group of peaceful Raiders

What did the streamer do? In the clip, the streamer encounters a larger group of players in a solo run. In solo runs, players in ARC Raiders only meet other solo players. This group spontaneously gathered via the in-game voice chat.

Together, the group wanted to play a new event on the “Space Dock” map, for which they need to solve a puzzle. The streamer recognized his chance and ran to the extraction point, which closes last. He called the elevator and placed a bunch of explosive surprises before returning to the group as if nothing had happened.

For minutes, the players attempted to solve the puzzle, before they gave up 6 minutes before the last remaining extraction point closed and decided to leave the lobby. They returned to the elevator together and even took a group photo before its arrival. But then came the streamer’s surprise.

The players entered the elevator and the streamer detonated the placed explosives. He then shot at everyone who survived the explosions, killing the entire group – accompanied by a diabolical laugh.

How is it being received? In various social networks, the streamer’s action receives mixed reactions. Many find it funny, while others are surprised that nobody noticed the many blinking lights in the elevator.

However, some criticize the behavior, claiming that the streamer possibly ruined the fun of the round for those players without interest in loot and damaged the trust that players have in each other.

Here’s how this could be resolved: Some users have suggestions on how such situations could be less “fun-ruining”. One user writes that traps, explosives, and similar items should not be in the elevator if it was temporarily traveling to Speranza. After all, the game even informs you that there is a security check.

Another user proposes on X a bounty system, allowing players to secure a reward when they eliminate treacherous players who have killed many Raiders in a short amount of time or in a single life.

In ARC Raiders, there are always fantastic interactions between players. Some Raiders are extremely nice to each other, while others are treacherous and malicious. The Twitch streamer “summit1g” was recently both – but his attempt to be nice was thwarted: Twitch streamer wants to save a player in ARC Raiders whom he himself eliminated, but the AI has other plans

A nasty character from Stranger Things was saved from certain death because the actor was simply too good

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

Stranger Things is soon heading into its final round with Season 5. However, some of the now-popular characters might not have made it this far if it had been up to the first ideas of the creators.

Stranger Things will receive eight new episodes starting November 26, 2025, but the big finale will not be released on Netflix until December 31. Then we will also know which characters definitely make it out of the story and who unfortunately meets their end – the first 5 minutes of the season have already been released.

However, it is a small miracle that two characters are still alive at this point. Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of Stranger Things, have considered killing off certain characters at different points over the last four seasons.

Among them are two fan favorites, whose deaths many viewers would surely regret.

With Stranger Things Season 5, the popular hit series from Netflix comes to an end

A Difficult Decision

Who narrowly survived? In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, the Duffer brothers reminisced about the last seasons and shared which characters were close to dying.

Among them is the character Steve Harrington, Nancy’s boyfriend, who particularly appears as an antagonist in Season 1 and bullies the kids. It is not until Season 2 that his role becomes larger and more significant, and he behaves much less meanly, acting as an ally in the fight against the evil forces.

Steve was supposed to have met his end in Season 1. The only reason the character was saved? His actor, Joe Kerry, was simply too liked by the Duffer brothers. Therefore, they wanted to keep working with him. Had the actor not been so popular with the two showrunners, they would likely have let Steve die.

The second character whose death was discussed is Hopper. Specifically at the end of Season 3, which looks particularly grim for the character. He seemingly dies in an explosion at a Russian lab but returns in Season 4. The Duffer brothers explain:

There was a version in which he died at the end of Part 3. It’s been a while since we’ve had these discussions, but I feel he was closest to death. It would have been very easy to kill him, but Hopper still had to grow. We hadn’t finished telling his story yet. It’s important to us to conclude the stories we want to tell and not just kill people off for shock value.

Ross Duffer

The latter is also an important point that, according to the brothers, needs to be considered when contemplating killing characters. The series would quickly become very dark, especially with the death of important characters, and the event could overshadow other aspects.

Even with the death of supporting characters like in Season 2, they said they thought a lot about it and had lengthy discussions, the Duffer brothers recount.

50,000 people paid 120,000 euros to live on the Bitcoin Island, eight years later they are still without a house

Claudio Niggenkemper Claudio Niggenkemper Reading time 3 minutes

Over 50,000 people paid about 120,000 Euros for a life on the “Bitcoin Island” called Satoshi Island in the Pacific – so far, hardly anything exists in reality, houses and apartments have not been handed over, and now the location is even threatened to sink into the sea.

What is behind the project? Lataro Island, a 3.22 km² island in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu, was originally utilized by the British entrepreneur Anthony Welch under a 75-year lease. Welch lived on the island since 2007, before announcing in 2022 that he would transform the island into a digital crypto utopia called “Satoshi Island” (via decripto).

Select a MMO video…

The vision was grand: Together with his partner Theresa, Welch wanted to build a community of over 20,000 people that would rely entirely on digital identities, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technology (via TheGuardian).

The island nation of Vanuatu, east of Australia, with its tax-free income models seemed to be the perfect location for this.

Lataro Island aka Satoshi Island (via X)

Broken Promises?

What was promised and what actually happened? The idea was to sell plots of land in the form of NFTs and build modular smart homes on the island. These were to be completely energy-independent and provide a modern infrastructure for contemporary digital living. Interested parties could purchase NFT deeds (a digital proof of ownership) that were meant to secure ownership rights and benefits – a whole living package cost between 100,000 – 120,000 Euros (via bleepingcomputer).

Around 50,000 people worldwide reportedly invested in this promise. Yet, about three years after the official start, the grand vision still stands on shaky ground: There are no clear indications that even a single living module has been delivered or installed on the island (via 3Djuegos).

What is the current status? In July 2025, the project itself pulled the emergency brake: In an official statement on X, the Satoshi Island DAO LLC announced that all digital assets – including the NFT plots – are no longer allowed to be traded with immediate effect.

The reason for this is a breach of contract regarding the original land lease agreement. Three points were cited as the main reasons: Firstly, no substantial development has been undertaken on the island in the past three years. Secondly, there are insufficient financial resources to even keep the site in a safe and habitable condition. And thirdly, there have been no economic incentives, job offers, or social programs for the local population of Vanuatu.

The official website of the project is now no longer accessible. Furthermore, the island in the deep Pacific is also threatened by the climate crisis and rising sea levels.

via Satoshi Island on X.com

How are investors and critics reacting? Already in the early posts of the project, critical voices repeatedly spoke out. Some warned against exaggerated and unrealistic expectations, comparing the undertaking early on to the failed scam luxury festival “Fyre Festival” (via lesperance).

Furthermore, the alleged offer of citizenship through NFTs was never legally clarified. While Vanuatu offers a legitimate citizenship-by-investment program, Welch’s Bitcoin Island had nothing to do with this program (via Government of Vanuatu). Additionally, the government of Vanuatu made it clear that acquiring an NFT does not guarantee a residence right (via protos).

A player underestimates the power of a spell in Dungeons & Dragons, discovers how powerful he really is, because the group doesn’t have a tank for the first time

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 2 minutes

Some spells in Dungeons & Dragons may initially seem inconspicuous or have a clear purpose. However, one player underestimated a spell so much that he even created a meme from his enlightenment that resonates well with the community.

Which spell is it? As medli20 shares in his Reddit thread, he completely underestimated the spell “Haste” over multiple campaigns and did not recognize its potential.

With this spell, you can grant yourself or an ally the following effects for 1 minute (which is 10 rounds in combat):

  • Double the speed / range of the movement action
  • +2 to Armor Class
  • Advantage on Dexterity saving throws
  • 1 extra action per round
    • Either: Attack, Dash, Dodge, Hide, or Use

For this, the spellcaster only needs a twig of licorice root and must maintain concentration on the spell for the entire duration. The spell ends only after its duration expires, if the caster’s concentration is broken, or if the buffed character becomes incapacitated.

So far, medli20 has only applied the spell to very specific characters. However, a special situation led him to rethink and realize how powerful the spell really is.

Start video
The trailer shows the German voices of Critical Role’s series adaptation Mighty Nein

“If your class doesn’t have an extra attack, buying in the store is also fine”

How did the user discover the power of Haste? As medli20 reports in his post, he had previously only applied Haste to front-line fighters to make them a bit more resilient and stronger.

But when he played a new campaign and the group didn’t have a clear tank to take on that role, he was unsure whether to still use the spell. After all, he could only use his sneak attack once per round, thereby adding only a normal attack through the buff.

Nevertheless, he decided to apply Haste to their rogue and was surprised by how much damage the buff allowed him to deal – especially at range: “Now that I’ve tried it, I can say with certainty that my doubts were completely unfounded. Even without an additional sneak attack, Sharpshooter + Steady Aim + Elf Precision deals enormous damage.”

This encouraged him to apply the spell to other classes as well and continue experimenting. In his thread, he shares a meme that embodies his experience. “If your class doesn’t have an extra attack, buying in the store is also fine” is the caption and shows the aforementioned rogue with his bow as he quickly fires multiple attacks:

What does the community say about it? With over 3,400 likes and currently 54 comments, his meme is celebrated and validates his discovery. In their opinion, Haste is suitable for all melee and ranged fighters who attack with weapons. The spell can also be effectively combined with others, such as “Bless,” which allows you to add 1d4 to every attack or saving throw.

Especially for the classes fighter and barbarian, Haste leads to epic moments where they can seemingly rain down endless attacks on their opponent one after another. Haste also works excellently for monks.

User TimeStayOnReddit humorously adds: “Among the spell components that often come with puns is the licorice root, which – not surprisingly – is used to make licorice. Haste is a sugar rush.”

The head of Bethesda can imagine releasing The Elder Scrolls 6 surprisingly like Oblivion, but that will take some time

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced around 8 years ago, back when E3 still existed. But even though so many years have passed, the release seems to be a while away.

What is the current status? In 2024, it was mentioned that TES 6 is already in a playable state. The developers are reportedly already playing the early version and exploring the world. However, the developers are aware that the hype surrounding the game is huge. 

That’s why the pressure is so great to deliver an almost perfect game. That takes time. And that’s exactly why Todd Howard stated in a recent interview with GQ:

The Elder Scrolls 6 is still a long way off. I preach patience. I don’t want the fans to become impatient.

He didn’t specify a timeframe. However, from this quote, one can infer that it will still take years before The Elder Scrolls 6 is released. However, the release might then happen differently than usual.

Select a MMO video…

Shadowdrop of Oblivion was a successful experiment

What kind of release might TES 6 expect? As a last question, the GQ magazine couldn’t resist asking whether there could be a similar shadow drop for The Elder Scrolls 6 as there was for Oblivion. 

The remaster of The Elder Scrolls 4 was unexpectedly released back then with no major announcements. This pleased many fans but also upset some developers, who suffered from the shadow drop.

When asked if something similar could happen with TES 6, Howard responded:

You could say that was a test run. It worked well.

He does not deny the question and speaks of a successful test run. Thus, he does not rule out conducting a shadow drop for TES 6 as well. However, one should keep in mind that the new Oblivion was “only” a remaster and not a new main entry in the series.

The strongest Devil Fruits from One Piece of the Logia type, where users fight with the elements

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 5 minutes

The Devil Fruits from One Piece, which belong to the Logia type, transform the user into a specific element and give them control over it. MeinMMO ranks the fruits from the Manga that have been shown so far according to their strength.

Anyone who eats a Devil Fruit in One Piece loses the ability to swim. This is common among all users. However, aside from that, the Devil Fruits can be categorized into three types, depending on the powers they grant.

The Logia Devil Fruits give the user the ability to transform into another element and control it. By transforming, they can evade physical attacks, unless their opponent possesses Armament Haki or uses Sea Stone.

MeinMMO reveals which are currently the strongest Logia-type Devil Fruits. We are basing our ranking on the status of Chapter 1164 of the Manga. We also only consider the Devil Fruits that have already been named and confirmed.

What can it do? Thanks to the Ice Fruit, the user can generate ice, control it, or transform into it. Kuzan uses the abilities to craft a permanent prosthetic, as he lost his leg in battle.

Additionally, other opponents can be frozen and rendered unable to fight. The victims are not killed directly, which proves useful in special situations such as kidnappings.

Why is it so strong? With this fruit, one can essentially eliminate the only weakness of Devil Fruit users: the sea. The Ice Fruit allows users to freeze the ocean over several kilometers. In this way, Kuzan can even ride a bike on the sea.

The battle at Punk Hazard also demonstrated how powerful the fruit’s power is. The Ice Fruit can freeze half of a complete island.

However, users of the Ice Fruit have the drawback that they can still be hit by physical attacks, as ice has a solid state of matter.

Fans see the latest champion as LoL repeats a mistake for the third time, predicting a rework within half a year

Nico Scheibel Nico Scheibel Reading time 3 minutes

While the Worlds 2025 of League of Legends have come to an end, players are discussing an ability of the newly introduced champion. They see a mistake in the abilities, which LoL has already made twice.

Who is the new champion of LoL? On November 9, 2025, the finals of the LoL World Championships took place. During a break in the finals, the new champion Zaahen was treated to a trailer.

On the official website of League of Legends, the new champion has already been introduced. Zaahen has the following abilities:

  • Cultivation of War (Passive): Zaahen’s attacks and abilities against enemy champions grant him increases of “Determination,” providing him additional attack damage per increase. When Zaahen is filled with “Determination,” he gains increased attack damage and can resurrect.
  • The Glaive of the Dark (Q): Zaahen strikes twice with his next attack, dealing additional damage and healing himself. Zaahen can use this ability again to deal additional damage with his next attack and knock the target into the air.
  • Brutal Return (W): Zaahen stabs in a direction, dealing damage to hit enemies and pulling them towards him.
  • Golden Charge (E): Zaahen jumps to a location and attacks targets around him.
  • Dark Redemption (R): Zaahen rises and stabs downwards, dealing damage to enemies and healing himself for a portion of the damage dealt.

Which ability is seen as a mistake? Zaahen’s passive ability, Cultivation of War, is the small thorn in the side of many players. With each hit and skill landed, Zaahen’s “Determination” increases. When he is filled with “Determination,” his damage increases, and he can resurrect if he dies.

Specifically, it’s about the resurrection, which has already caused balancing issues with previous champs.

In the video, you can see the trailer for Zaahen:

Resurrection has not worked with two older champs

Which champs have not had a successful resurrection? Yorick is the first champion who had a resurrection before his rework and was generally very strong but was not played by anyone. The second champ is Aatrox, who had a similar ability to Zaahen at his release.

With damage dealt, Aatrox filled a bar and healed for as much health as the bar was full upon dying. Later, the resurrection was integrated into his ultimate and eventually completely removed from his abilities in 2019. A former lead developer of the champions has already announced early on that Aatrox was overpowered and that the removal of the resurrection was on his list for changes (dotesports.com).

Players wonder if a resurrection will work the third time

What do players say about the resurrection? In the Reddit post about the new champion, the passive ability is discussed. A player writes: “Surely a self-resurrection will work the third time, right folks?”. Under the comment, Yorick and Aatrox were mentioned and how both lost their resurrection because it was too unbalanced.

When do players predict a rework? Reddit user Arkatrasz (reddit.com) predicts that the ability that resurrects Zaahen will be changed or completely removed by next summer in 2026. Over 300 other players agree with him and have already posted initial ideas in the comments.

Why are the two current self-resurrections of LoL not a problem? The fact that there are currently two champs who possess a self-resurrection and are well-balanced has also been discussed.

The jungler Zac and midlaner Anivia are both able to return after their death, but both can be prevented from doing so. Zac splits into four small Zacs, which can eventually be defeated to stop the revive. Anivia encases herself in an ice egg, which can also be attacked by enemy champions to prevent the revive.

The new champ Zaahen received an initial trailer during the Worlds 2025, showcasing the abilities of the Glaive bearer in action. After the news, T1 was able to defeat their opponents KT Rolster in a best-of-5 and win the World Champion title for the sixth time: Faker becomes world champion in LoL for the third time in a row, but the most important player of the tournament is someone else

WoW: 40 Paladins fight against 40 Summoners and the result is pure chaos

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A highly curious battle took place in World of Warcraft. 40 Paladins wanted to know if they could compete against 40 Summoners.

The time between two expansions in World of Warcraft is usually a bit more relaxed. Everyone plays old content, like the recent Legion Remix or looks for new, absurd tasks. The “boredom” sometimes leads to curious situations, as shown in a battle in Alterac Valley. There was a duel between two groups – one team of 40 Dracthyr Summoners and one team of 40 Paladins.

Select a MMO video…

Paladins win, but Summoners create entire walls

How did the battles go? Played in a total of 5 rounds, which lasted until one side was completely defeated. Those who died could not release their spirit or resurrect until the battle was decided. It was essentially a big game of “Team Deathmatch,” where the actual objective of Alterac Valley – defeating the opposing general – played no role.

Who won? After an initial victory by the Summoners, the Paladins ultimately managed to win the game. At least that’s what two people who were at the event claim.

  • “The Summoners won the first round, but mainly because they had more people specializing in healing. After some adjustments and balancing of the teams, the Paladins then won.” – Fimbulvetrn
  • “We got pretty wrecked because we had an average item level of 677 and the not-so-smart decision to take the PvP talent that creates a wall after Deep Breath, breaking the line of sight. It looked pretty damn cool, but it cut off our healers and DPS, lmao” – Braefost

Over 10 million players are now waiting for a new role-playing game from China that shows in 2 minutes what to expect

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Just before the worldwide release, Where Winds Meet released a new trailer that summarizes what the new role-playing game has to offer. There is an impressive figure: 10 million players have already signed up in advance for the RPG, which will be released on Steam and for the PS5.

What kind of game is this?

  • Where Winds Meet takes place in 10th-century China and accordingly draws on many elements from Chinese history.
  • You create your own character and experience a large, open world alone or in co-op, fighting opponents in action RPG style with Wuxia martial arts and various weapons.
  • The role-playing game has already been released in China and attracted over 15 million players. The worldwide release is on November 14, 2205, on PC, PS5, and Mobile. Where Winds Meet will be free-to-play.

These are the features: In a new trailer shortly before the release, the developers summarize the most important contents of Where Winds Meet again. The focus here is mainly on the combat system:

  • You fight, as is classic in an action RPG, not only with attacks, but also with parries, dodges, and counterattacks (“perfect parry”), with alternative controls in MMORPG style.
  • There will be various “combat modes,” or styles, that are derived from traditional martial arts.
  • You have the choice of 7 different weapons, 12 martial arts, and 23 different mystical techniques – including, of course, umbrellas and fans.
  • Where Winds Meet collaborates with martial arts director Stepehn Tung Wai (Seven Swords, Kung Fu Jungle), who directs the choreography.

The trailer also highlights the day-night cycle and the weather system of the open world, as well as the various possibilities for exploration, such as secret places or old traditions like shadow plays, operas, and dragon dances.

In a press release that accompanied the trailer, the developers also state that Where Winds Meet has already received 10,000,000 pre-registrations. The preload starts on November 12.

An Open World with Many Liberties

A major highlight of Where Winds Meet is the use of artificial intelligence. The NPCs all have their own lives with daily routines and the ability to chat directly with them via AI chat.

Your voice not only has the power to communicate with NPCs, it can even shape your character and literally: the character editor offers the option to automatically adjust your character based on your voice.

Tech expert runs Battlefield 6 on a 13-year-old computer, the biggest problem is an annoying security feature

jan hartmayer jan hartmayer Reading time 2 minutes

Battlefield 6 requires two security features from Windows to even start. A hardware YouTuber tests old PC configurations and is amazed by his results. 

What hardware is involved? The tech and hardware YouTuber Fully Buffered shows in a new video how he gets Battlefield 6 running on a 13-year-old AMD FX-9590. To do this, he enables Secure Boot in the BIOS of his computer. 

The tech YouTuber’s test system consists of the 8-core processor AMD FX-9590, which was released in July 2013, an RX 5700 from AMD, and 16 gigabytes of DDR3 RAM clocked at 1833 MHz. 

Although the AMD processor was a high-end product in 2013, it is outdated by today’s standards and does not provide the required security feature TPM to be able to start Battlefield 6. We have embedded the YouTuber’s video for you:

Secure Boot and TPM for Battlefield’s Anticheat 

What security features does BF6 require? Officially, the modern shooter requires the two functions “Secure Boot” and “TPM” for its anti-cheat software Javelin. They are intended to ensure that there are no cheaters in your lobbies.

TPM stands for “Trusted Platform Module” and is a security chip on your PC’s motherboard that provides various functions such as encrypting data storage, storing biometric data, and protecting against hardware manipulation.

The Secure Boot option helps protect you from malicious software like viruses and malware at PC startup. If you are not familiar with the BIOS option, you can read on MeinMMO how to enable it.

Battlefield 6 on 13-year-old hardware

How was the YouTuber able to play BF6? After enabling Secure Boot in the BIOS of the old PC, Battlefield 6 starts, even though the motherboard and processor do not support TPM. 

The YouTuber Fully Buffered is surprised to find that TPM is officially listed as required by EA, but in reality, it is not necessary. 

How well does Battlefield run on the system? The hardware enthusiast then tests the performance and installs an RX 5700 graphics card from AMD into the computer, which is also a few years old (release 2019). According to his tests, the system achieves between 25 and 45 FPS at a resolution of 1024×786, depending on card and lobby size.

He explains that the system quickly reaches its limits due to the old processor, preventing the graphics card from unleashing its full potential. In technical terms, this is known as a bottleneck.

Therefore, the YouTuber probably chose the RX 5700 as the graphics card for his test because with a new graphics card, such as an RTX 5090, the bottleneck would have been much more pronounced. The RX 5700 can still output most modern titles in Full HD, but it is no longer sufficient for stable 60 frames per second in titles like Black Myth: Wukong.

For shooter players, 40-50 FPS and such a low resolution are usually not sufficient for reasonable gameplay. Therefore, the YouTuber’s test is unlikely to be an option for most gamers. Many professionals consciously forgo pretty graphics because they can play better that way: The best shooter professionals in the world play with the worst graphics

Does Pokémon GO: Is the Spotlight Hour worth it tomorrow?

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

The 2nd Spotlight Hour of November is coming in Pokémon GO. We have looked into what to expect and whether it’s worth it.

What kind of event is this? The Spotlight Hour is a 60-minute event that takes place every Tuesday. It brings you at least one featured Pokémon, as well as a bonus.

In the Spotlight Hour on November 11, 2025, Bubungus awaits you. The Pokémon is from the 7th generation and has the types Grass and Fairy. It can evolve into Lamellux.

Start video
Pokémon GO: The Season “Stories of Transformation” in the Trailer

Spotlight Hour on November 11, 2025 – Start and Bonuses

When does the Spotlight Hour start? Like every week, the event starts at 6:00 PM. It ends again at 7:00 PM, after 60 minutes.

What bonus is active? If you evolve Pokémon during the Spotlight Hour, you will receive double the amount of experience points.

Can you catch Shiny Bubungus? Yes, with a bit of luck, you can also get the Shiny variant of the Pokémon. However, the chance is not increased during the Spotlight Hour.

Is the Spotlight Hour worth it? If you’re hoping for a strong attacker from the event, you will be disappointed. Neither Bubungus nor its evolution is particularly suited for the battle league or raids.

However, Bubungus is one of the Pokémon that generally give you more stardust per catch. For every caught specimen, you receive 500 stardust. If you additionally use a star piece, you will get even 750 stardust for each catch. Due to the number of Bubungus spawning during the event, you can earn a nice sum.

Additionally, you can take advantage of the event bonus if you want to evolve some Pokémon anyway, and thus gain extra experience points.

Actually, I just wanted to fish in the new update of Enshrouded, but I was bullied too often

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 5 minutes

The German survival game Enshrouded receives its 7th major update with new features, and that even before the official release on Steam. MeinMMO editor and survival expert Benedict Grothaus has played Wake of the Water in advance and had to suffer considerably in the new content.

I admit that I don’t pay enough attention to Enshrouded. Every time I check back in, I realize how fantastic this game really is and why it belongs to the best survival games on the market.

The whole world looks simply stunning and the combination of exploration like in Zelda, a decent combat system with various weapons and skills, as well as voxel technology for absolutely crazy constructions is unique in the genre.

And Enshrouded isn’t even finished yet. Since January 2024, the game has been in early access on Steam and is constantly receiving new updates. Wake of the Water is already the seventh free content update and the largest so far. It is released today, on November 10, 2025.

I have already seen many contents of Wake of the Waters before, now I was able to play them for the first time. I am really not a wimp and not a noob in survival games, but my goodness, I suffered.

Start video
Wake of the Water bringt haufenweise neue Features zu Enshrouded – und physikalisches Wasser

Many new features, but I keep getting my ass kicked

Developer Keen Games from Frankfurt invited us to test the new content Wake of the Water in advance. In a press version, I was able to check out the new area, the new enemies, and the new weapon. The update brings:

That fishing feature is exactly what I really wanted to try out – but I didn’t get around to it. Because while I just wanted to follow the new quests to gradually introduce myself to Wake of the Waters, the lizard types really, really kicked my ass.

New enemies with serious power behind them

I’ll try to spoil as little as possible. But early in the new area, you’ll find a new soul, an old captain who still has a score to settle with the Draka. So he asks you to take care of enough of them. Since this captain is responsible for everything regarding fishing, I naturally complied with his requests.

On the map, spots appear where many Draka should gather to fight them. The developers handed me a pre-made character at level 42 with legendary equipment and a strong wizard build. So quite strong, actually.

Draka, however, have some really nasty variations. Heavily armored tanks soak up most spells while they charge at me and stomp the ground. Wizards in the background support their people and ranged fighters constantly throw very accurately targeted chakrams at me. I can’t dodge that often!

I also used the quests to look at the new environment and search for fishing spots (there are supposed to be secret hidden spots too!). But especially when I came across a 5-meter tall boss that knocked me out three times by itself, I decided to focus solely on the combat aspect.

Fights are now much more intense and feel more important

That’s exactly what I noticed in the first minutes of Wake of the Water: Every fight feels a bit longer, even against individual opponents. I have to think much more carefully about when to attack, when to dodge, and which abilities to use.

Until now, I could pretty much just mow everything down with attacks in Enshrouded and occasionally maybe block or dodge. Overall, I didn’t need Dark Souls reflexes for a fight.

Now in Wake of the Water, I am significantly more challenged, fortunately with the option to reduce the difficulty. I was too proud to do so, but I can only recommend it to anyone who gets stuck on opponents often. It’s worth it.

A beautiful new world with a new, unexpected danger

Because the Wogschimmer-Grund looks simply fantastic and invites exploration. The area appears tropical or subtropical, with bamboo, beaches, ancient ruins, and a lot of water. Just flying over it with the glider, it looks like a Caribbean island.

Bamboo is not just mere decoration; it can be harvested and serves as material for new building components, with which you can – if you have more construction skills than I do – build a nice little pirate castle on the beach.

Generally, the area often invited me to explore, the second reason why I didn’t get to fishing. There is simply too much to discover, new puzzles, and swimming adds a whole new dimension, albeit with a certain danger attached.

Although you can now dive, of course, you also have to breathe. If time in the miasma already seems tight to you, you should be very careful when diving: I nearly drowned twice because breath only lasts a few seconds (without potions to extend it), and once panic for air drove me directly into spinning blades that then shredded me. RIP.

You can check out Wake of the Water for yourself starting today, November 10. The cadence with which Enshrouded releases the updates is exemplary and has helped the studio earn the title of best game in Germany at the German Computer Game Awards 2025. It takes hard work, as the boss previously told us: Survival game from Germany is a hit on Steam, releasing 6 major updates in the first year, the boss tells us: “We didn’t take many breaks”

A Twitch streamer wants to raise money for a good cause, cycling 300 kilometers in a single day

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

Over the weekend, the fundraising event Loot for the World took place. Various German Twitch streamers came together to host a show to raise funds. One streamer stood out with a special action: he rode 300 km on a bicycle.

What is this fundraising event? Loot for the World is a fundraising event organized by German-speaking content creators. Influencers, including those from Space Frogs and DoktorFroid, participate every year. This year, the fundraising event will take place on November 8th and 9th, marking its 12th edition, and the group of Twitch streamers was live for a total of 36 hours.

The donations collected this time went to various organizations at once; including Stiftung Zukunft Wald, Sentana Stiftung, and SOS Humanity. Viewers could either send money through the stream or order merchandise. The profits from the sales were given 100% to the donations.

This year, 315,694.28 euros were collected. Overall, Loot for the World has already managed to raise over 3.5 million euros in all the years it has been running.

What is Knirpz doing for donations? The Twitch streamer Leo “Knirpz” was not in the studio like the other participants but was on the bike. He rode through Berlin until he completed 300 km. The distance had to be covered in under 24 hours to receive a very special donation.

Becausе Twitch itself participated in the fundraising action. For every kilometer ridden, Twitch donated 10 dollars, making it 3,020 dollars for 300 km. This is approximately 2,609 euros. The amount was added to the already substantial donation total.

What does the community say? Knirpz’s action also reached the international Twitch community. In a post on Reddit, a clip of the stream was shared, in which Knirpz completes the 300 km.

The comments admire the action:

  • 360fov admires Knirpz for his perseverance (source: Reddit): “He is not obligated to accept large donations, BUT considering how much effort he put in to raise these 3,000 dollars while people like Emiru or Asmongold sit at their desks for four hours and earn more than 100 times that… you just have to respect his determination to not see the whole thing so pessimistically!”
  • ANiceReprieve is also impressed by the Twitch streamer (source: Reddit): “Pretty impressive. 300 km in 24 hours is no easy task unless you train regularly for long distances.”
  • tiggberti criticizes that Twitch did not give more money (source: Reddit): “Great thing. However, extremely cheap of Twitch.”

The Spürnasen from Criminal Minds made an appearance in Pokémon, but you most likely missed it

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

In fact, the team from Criminal Minds once managed to appear in the manga Pokémon. They were kidnapped by the villains but managed to free themselves from their clutches.

What is Criminal Minds? Criminal Minds is a crime series that has been running since 2005 and currently has 18 seasons. It is suitable for fans of, for example, NCIS. The viewers follow numerous cases of FBI profilers analyzing serial killers.

The series is particularly well-known because a special dynamic develops within the team. Over the years, actors have joined and left the series, resulting in different configurations.

The creators of Pokémon are apparently big fans of the series. Because there is a scene in which the cast of Criminal Minds appears.

How do they appear? In addition to the video games and the anime, Pokémon has several manga versions as well. One of them is Pokémon Adventures. Here, the characters from Criminal Minds appear in the “X & Y” arc.

If you missed the appearance of Criminal Minds, it is because the manga is not as well known as the anime and the video games.

The illustrator Satoshi Yamamoto confirmed on X that it is indeed the characters from Criminal Minds. The characters even retain their names from the series. How they look in the manga can be seen in the following TikTok video:

There is a peculiar detail: David Rossi was actually supposed to be among the kidnapped. But the manga team turns him into a differently looking bakery manager because they probably could not draw him well enough, according to the illustrator of the manga.

What happens to them? The evil Team Flair kidnaps all the individuals who need to flee their hometown of Vaniville Town due to the battle between the legendary pocket monsters Xerneas and Yveltal. Spencer, Morgan, and Ms. Garcia are among the kidnapped individuals.

Team Flair intends to turn all the kidnapped people into will-less slaves. But the people can escape when a battle occurs between Connie, the Gym Leader of Yantara City, and Team Flair.

ARC Raiders: How to solve the quest “With a Trace”

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In ARC Raiders, the NPC “Shani” sends you on the quest “With a Trace” to gather information at the Blue Gate. However, some Raiders have difficulty completing it. To help you check off the quest stress-free, we will show you the solution.

Update on March 23, 2026: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.

How do I get the quest? To obtain the quest, you must complete tasks from Shani, the security officer of Speranza. Once you have completed enough, you will eventually receive the quest “With a Trace” that sends you to the Blue Gate.

You need to investigate a wreck that the Raiders have not been able to destroy. You will examine the destroyed robot and the surrounding land to find clues that may have led to the fate of the destroyed ARCs.

The Blue Gate is massive, and many Raiders are reluctant to stay long in the open terrain to avoid being killed themselves. With our guide, you can complete the quest quickly without risking your loot.

How to solve “With a Trace”

Go to your map and confirm the destination “The Blue Gate”. It’s best to choose a free loadout and start the round – that way it hurts less if you die while completing the quest. Once you’ve landed, you need to find the wreck, mark the spot “Cleared Glade,” and sprint there.

Once you arrive, you need to examine a large white component of the wreck located south of the destination.

After that, you will be sent to “Decorated Wreck,” another destination southeast of the Cleared Glade. Once there, you need to investigate the communication device located southeast of the wreck. If you have the quest active, the device will be highlighted in yellow for you, so you cannot miss it. The device looks like a computer.

ARC-Raiders-Communication-Device

Once you have interacted with the PC, the quest is complete, and you can return to Speranza. If you die while trying to escape, you do not need to complete the quest steps again. Your progress is saved even with your death.

You can comfortably defeat ARCs, loot, and hunt Raiders so you don’t return empty-handed. Besides this quest, there are also Raiders looking for field depots that they cannot find.

A player cheekily wants to look under the skirt of a statue in Baldur’s Gate 3, accidentally discovers a hidden secret

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 3 minutes

As a player in Baldur’s Gate 3 searching for a special “view”, he came across a ritual he had never seen before. But to report on it, he must also admit how and why he found himself there in the first place.

What does the player admit? The caught, but admittedly honest player reports in the Subreddit of Baldur’s Gate 3 that he stumbled upon a place in the second act of the game that he had never seen before. In the Temple of Shar, a place where the goddess of darkness and loss is worshiped, the large statue of the aforementioned goddess seemed to impress the player. So much so that he wanted to get a closer look.

In the middle of the huge temple, he climbed down the partially hidden steps from which various angles of the statue can be viewed. The player was driven deeper for “reasons”.

“In fact, I wondered if they modeled [her butt] or not. I found my answer,” the player writes on Reddit, for which he is at least respected for his honesty.

What he gained besides the answer to his question is a secret place he had never heard of before.

Here you see the animated short film for Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3:

Player finds a specific mission only through a divine butt

What did the player find? At the feet of the giant Shar statue lies a half-finished ritual that can be triggered under the right conditions and with the correct execution. In fact, one does not have to stumble upon this place by chance (like the player did), but can also be led there by the somewhat strange rats in the temple. However, this hasn’t happened to the player in his first two playthroughs yet.

“No idea how I missed that back then,” writes the original author of the Reddit post, “I think I had a girlfriend back then.”

Instead of looking away from the statue unasked, he could have simply looked at the official beauty shots of the 3D model. On ArtStation, many artists share their works that are used in games (including Baldur’s Gate 3).

Shar Statue by Maxime Ponslet
3D model of the Shar statue by Maxime Ponslet, 3D and 2D generalist (Source: ArtStation)

What is the purpose of the ritual site? The Temple of Shar is inhabited by many rats, which make somewhat cryptic statements when one can speak with animals. In various ways, one can discover during the exploration of the temple that these rats are not ordinary rats, but actually a person, a Shar follower named Lyrthindor.

To start the ritual, the book at the designated location must be read before lighting the candles of the ritual circle. A rat will appear and propose a deal to be left alone. However, if one refuses and attacks the rats, one will be attacked by a large swarm (not to be confused with Shar) of rats. If all the rats are defeated, Lyrthindor will eventually return to being a person.

Even though the background of the player, how he became aware of this place, is somewhat questionable – he is by no means the only one who discovers hidden or somewhat obvious content in Baldur’s Gate 3 only after several playthroughs. Other players also discover various things in the game only after hundreds of hours, including in the Temple of Shar: Player discovers after 600 hours in Baldur’s Gate 3 a detail that makes a tricky test much easier

Where Winds Meet holt sich großen YouTuber, damit der allen endlich vernünftig erklärt, was den Hit aus China ausmacht – Fan feiert: „Dass dieses Spiel kostenlos ist …“

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 4 minutes

The developers of Where Winds Meet have so far struggled to convey why you should take a look at the new open-world role-playing game. Therefore, they are now seeking external help, and the community is excited.

What is Where Winds Meet? A large, complex, and packed genre mix that makes it impossible to convey all the important pillars of the open-world role-playing game through short trailers, posts on social media channels, and press releases.

Despite the incredibly successful launch in China, the developers at Everstone have put relatively little effort into promoting Where Winds Meet in the West.

Especially considering how ambitious and large the role-playing game is, and when looking at the Free2Play model, which can only be successful if many players download it, stick around, and invest money in the optional microtransactions.

Since the final release in the West is scheduled to take place soon (on November 14, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Mobile), it was almost overdue for the developers to get their act together and properly introduce the game – which already fascinated us in a beta test version – to the local audience. And that’s exactly what happened, and they sought help!

What does this help look like? The developers have teamed up with TheLazyPeon. The well-known content creator has specialized in MMORPGs and has published over 740 videos on his channel on YouTube over the years. The number of 769,000 subscribers shows that many genre fans appreciate his contributions and assessments.

The latest stream went live on the official YouTube channel of Where Winds Meet, as TheLazyPeon talks about the new role-playing game and shows gameplay for about 40 minutes together with the developers. If you want to catch up on the entire preview stream, you can do so below, but we also provide a summary of the key insights.

Season 1 already has start and end dates

Below we summarize the topics that were specifically discussed in the stream.

  • Where Winds Meet is an action role-playing game set in an open world and based on a Wuxia setting as well as martial arts battles. The developers use a turbulent era of Chinese history as a starting point: the transition between the Tang and Song dynasties.
  • Two large regions, Qinghe and Kaifeng, will be available for exploration at launch, allowing you to travel freely on foot, on a mount, or even flying. However, a good portion of the game world is also located underground, in caves and tunnels.
  • In addition to the campaign, all players can expect elaborately staged and narrated side quest lines in the open world, where outcomes are expected to have noticeable effects.
  • The combat styles are heavily influenced by your choice of weapons. Whether it’s a simple sword, dual blades, umbrella, fan, rope, Mo-blade, or spear… they all play differently. Furthermore, you can expect 12 different martial arts variants and 23 skills that will also impact your gameplay.
  • To ensure that all these variants feel good and are spectacularly staged (after all, we are talking about the Wuxia genre), they have brought Stephen Tung Wai, an experienced, award-winning action choreographer, onto the team, who has classics like A Better Tomorrow, Hard Boiled, or Hero in his resume.
  • Challenging bosses await you not only during the campaign and quests, but you might also stumble into an epic world boss battle while exploring the world.
  • The developers emphasize the sheer degree of freedom in the world. For example: If you feel like it, you can simply pull out a fishing rod and hunt for fish in a normal way. Or you can throw countless fish into the air with a Tai Chi movement.
  • This freedom is supported by the world with its day-night cycle and the inhabitants, who behave depending on the time of day and the weather. In the city of Kaifeng alone, thousands of NPCs are said to follow their daily routines.
  • If you maintain a good relationship with the inhabitants and increase your reputation, you can receive useful rewards or activate secret quests. They can be your informants, duel opponents, witnesses to your crimes, or drinking buddies.
  • You can expect various side activities such as card games, Pitch Pot (where you have to throw drunken darts into a pot), reaction and speed tests, debates (with cards and hit points), doctor games (with healing skills and hit points), and more. You will experience a shadow theater, a lion dance, and a Chinese opera.
  • Thanks to flexible level scaling that adapts to your current character level, you can go to any place in the world at any time as soon as you have entered the open world.
  • The developers emphasize that the Free2Play model should be without Pay2Win elements. Future updates, which will also be free, will bring seasons, new modes, and time-limited events.
  • The first season is called Blade Out and is set to run from November 14, 2025, to February 5, 2026. No details on that have been released yet.

TheLazyPeon himself emphasizes in the stream:

When you first enter Where Winds Meet, you will be blown away by the immense level of detail and the natural beauty of the open world. In the distance, you can see the peaks of mountains and ancient structures, and you have the freedom to actually travel to these places.

Basically, every structure is enterable, you can interact with every NPC, and the world is full of secrets just waiting to be discovered. This makes the world feel truly alive.

Although TheLazyPeon specializes in MMORPGs and the stream lasted about 40 minutes, it didn’t even touch upon the optional MMO and multiplayer contents of Where Winds Meet. Good thing you have us: Where Winds Meet: How much MMORPG is in the new mega hit from China?

You can optionally also play the campaign and all quests and other content from the single-player mode with friends in cooperative mode.

How is the community reacting to all the promises and the shown gameplay? From many of the over 300 comments under the video and the more than 3,690 upvotes, a great anticipation can be read.

  • JURO768KUJO is confident on YouTube: “A peak game is coming our way.”
  • wls4jr cannot believe it under the video: “That this game is free is so fantastic. I played on the Chinese server, so I can vouch for it… I can’t wait to easily connect with people in the global game.”
  • LaiLo444 seems to have played already: “I love this game so far. You can tell it was developed with a lot of attention to detail, it’s just incredible.”
  • HunterD006 hopes for the best: “Looks fantastic, I really hope it lives up to my expectations because I want to spend many hours with it.”

Unfortunately, we can only speak in detail about our experiences with the latest version of Where Winds Meet on November 12. However, we already have another report from the beta: The most impressive open-world RPG in a long time, if it weren’t for all these menus!

“I am not ashamed to say”: For Steven Spielberg, Jurassic Park is the secret sequel to one of the greatest monster movies of all time

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

Steven Spielberg has directed quite a few films during his career that became classics. For Jurassic Park, he drew inspiration from one of his own works, which was for a specific reason.

The career of Steven Spielberg began in 1972 with his television film Duel. Just three years later, he achieved major success when Jaws hit theaters and became one of the first real blockbusters.

In the following years, he achieved success with films like E.T., Indiana Jones, or Jurassic Park. The latter was made during a very special time in Spielberg’s career, and the director himself admits that in some ways he borrowed from one of his earlier films.

Swap Shark for Dinosaur

How did Jurassic Park come about? 1993 was a special year for Steven Spielberg. Two films that are now undisputedly among his best were released: Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List.

Both are fundamentally different. While Schindler’s List is a dark Holocaust drama, Jurassic Park clearly falls into the summer blockbuster category. Spielberg filmed both movies within a few months – even though good friends helped him along the way.

Nevertheless, the project Schindler’s List was so complex and challenging that Spielberg decided to take an easier path with his dinosaur film. In an interview with The New Yorker, he said:

I am not ashamed to say that with Jurassic Park, I was actually just trying to make a good sequel to Jaws. On land. That’s shameless – I can tell you that now. But nowadays I prefer to make the more difficult choices. Schindler’s List just challenged me so much and fulfilled me and disturbed me so deeply.

Steven Spielberg

In fact, there are some parallels between Jaws and Jurassic Park. Foremost is the monster that terrorizes people and instills fear. Those people believe, however, that they have control over nature and the animals living in it – in both cases a fallacy.

Additionally, Spielberg employs similar techniques: He reveals the monster gradually. This creates tension, as Alfred Hitchcock perfected in his films.

As a role model, Spielberg couldn’t have chosen a better film. Jaws is still considered a masterpiece of animal horror films and caused a real panic at beaches when it was released.

Spielberg’s statement also shows that the director might work differently today. This would likely lead to more innovative ideas, yet ultimately Jurassic Park has turned out to be an incredibly watchable and thrilling film despite the similarities to Jaws.

It is also much better suited for younger viewers and narratively lighter than the shark film from the 70s. And Schindler’s List is a film that continues to touch audiences today. It is understandable that the challenging subject of the film demanded Spielberg’s full attention at the time. It also led him to a different kind of success: Steven Spielberg submitted two blockbusters and finally got his university degree
