The German dubbing of One Piece on Netflix changes a detail and fans are complaining so much that a involved YouTuber has to justify himself

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

One Piece is getting a new German dubbing on Netflix. Many of the old voice actors are back, and they want to start from the beginning. But not everything remains the same, and especially a name change is causing dissatisfaction.

What is the new dubbing about? As the YouTuber Ninotaku announced on 22.10.2025, the original anime of One Piece will receive a new dubbing on Netflix. For fans of the German dubbing, there are also many positive updates:

  • Many of the familiar voices are expected to lend their voices to the well-known characters again.
  • The old episodes will receive an HD version with better resolution.
  • They are starting over, so from the beginning of the journey.

Starting from November 15, 2025, the first 16 episodes will premiere on Netflix. Ninotaku himself is even involved as a consultant for the new dubbing.

But some details are also set to change. As Ninotaku explained in his original statement, some names, terms, and pronunciations in the new dubbing will be adjusted to match the Japanese original. The German Ruffy will become Luffy. This is not well-received by many fans.

Ninotaku is part of the Webedia network, which also includes MeinMMO.

The live-action series of One Piece continues in 2026:

Some things exceed our authority

How is the community reacting to the new dubbing? Under a X post from Ninotaku, the biggest issue seems to be the name change from Ruffy. Many fans find it unfortunate because they have grown up with it for so long.

Not only the anime series, but also the manga and the live-action series use the name Ruffy in the German version. Users like @Esartar86 (x.com) do not even want to watch the new dubbing because of the name change.

How is Ninotaku responding to the critical voices? In a longer statement on x.com, the German creator elaborated on the shitstorm. He explains that he can understand the fans’ dissatisfaction, especially since they have known the name for over 20 years in Germany.

They did try to talk to the Japanese licensor, but they could not be persuaded. According to Ninotaku, Toei wants to create a uniformity. He asks fans not to judge too quickly and not to blame the dubbing team: Some things exceed our authority and many matters we simply cannot discuss publicly.

For those who are not interested in a new dubbing, there is good news: The streaming service Animation Digital Network (ADN) has announced that starting from 13.11.2025, the old episodes with the original anime dubbing will be available to stream. It is also set to start with the East Blue arc. Thus, the old version will also be accessible again.

A secret strategy makes Path of Exile much better than other games, now the chief reveals it

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The director of Path of Exile talked about improvements in quality of life (QoL) and explained how the team is enhancing Path of Exile.

Who is he? Mark Roberts is the Game Director of Path of Exile. During a press preview for the new season, he answered questions from MeinMMO and other journalists. We wanted to know how he and the Path of Exile team are handling quality-of-life changes, meaning enhancements to existing aspects of the game.

Mark Roberts candidly revealed the strategy that makes Path of Exile and its successor so good.

Here you can watch the trailer for the new season “Keepers of the Flame”:

Start video
Path of Exile 2 shows features, bosses and trading system of “Keepers of the Flame” in the trailer

Secret strategy ensures good quality

What kind of strategy is that? Mark Roberts explained in the conversation that the Path of Exile team selects 10 themes to improve each season. These are not trivial matters, but 10 different systems and mechanics in the game that they want to revise for the next season.

Since its release in 2013, Path of Exile has received countless new systems, changes, and mechanics that all run parallel in the game. This makes it nearly impossible to improve everything at once. However, by focusing on 10 themes per season, the developers can deliver noticeable improvements in every season without having to overhaul everything each time.

How do they make the selection? Which themes the developers tackle each season is also explained by Mark Roberts. He says the team reviews where the problems are and what could be improved each season. The timing also plays a role.

Thus, systems that need to be unlocked a second or third time are less annoying than a mechanic that players must level up for the tenth or twelfth time before they can use it effectively. Therefore, some changes may only come after years.

Big changes also in the new season

What have they changed this time? In the new season “Keepers of the Flame”, the developers of Path of Exile have again made several improvements to the game’s quality. This time, the developers already explained in several videos on YouTube what players can expect.

One of the changes concerns the NPCs in the Heist endgame. From the new season onwards, these characters no longer need to be leveled up before they can be used effectively. Another change involves the Scrolls of Wisdom. These will be needed much less often, as various NPCs in towns and the hideout can now identify items for free.

However, the biggest change concerns trading. Starting with the new season, players will be able to sell their items easily through an auction house and will no longer need to rely on an active trading system.

That the developers ensure good changes with 10 focal points each season is part of Path of Exile’s success model.

New survival game on Steam features 800 square kilometers of open world, but another feature convinces players within 3 seconds

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of a new survival game on Steam recognize that the huge open world alone will not be enough to attract players. Therefore, they present exactly the feature of their game that will convince people within seconds.

Which game is being talked about? It is the survival and open-world game “Guardians of the Wild Sky” by Blue Isle Studios, which will be released on Steam, as well as consoles. Players must survive in this world full of flying islands, build their own bases and custom-built airships, and explore their surroundings, whether by land or air – as the focus here is primarily on conquering the sky.

In this world, there are also magical beings known as the Guardians, with whom you can befriend. These can be small, cute plush creatures, but also much larger and more fearsome-looking monsters. 

That the developers know exactly who their target audience is, is proven by their presence on social media. On TikTok, they posted a video to promote their game that could excite users of the platform in just a few seconds: “Those were three very convincing seconds, my friend.”

Here you can see the trailer for Guardians of the Wild Sky by Blue Isle Studios, which also showcases the mentioned feature:

The developers know what people find much more important than a huge open world

What do players find so great? In the mentioned TikTok video, the developers promise to get viewers to add their indie survival game to their wishlist in 3 seconds. They then show that in Guardians of the Wild Sky, players will be able to tame different types of dragons.

You can see the video from the TikTok channel of Blue Isle Studios here:

Under the video, various users’ comments demonstrate that the developers did everything right with this post:

  • “3 seconds to convince me? I’m skeptical – ‘Tameable dragons’ – okay, I’m listening” (Joseph Squires)
  • “Developers who understand the difference between dragons and wyverns? I’m in” (Ayden)

What further information do the developers provide regarding the dragons? While many people are convinced by the aspect of tamable dragons alone, there are some users who want to know how strongly the developers’ hearts beat for dragon nerds.

In response to user executionbunni’s question about whether one can have a whole stable full of dragons, the developers confirm that you can definitely build one in the game.

Also, user daltondale has an important question and wants to know if players will gain the ability to turn into a dragon in the game, to which the developers only respond with a wink – but later confirm in another response.

Another developer proves that being close to the community can be particularly valuable and is rewarded just a few days after the release of his game: Solo developer releases his first game on Steam, has 30,000 players 5 days later: “I’m going to eat a hell of a lot of spaghetti tonight”

After 20 years, WoW gets new coolness – the community has more cool ideas

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In the forest of Elwynn, it will soon look prettier – but everywhere else too. One of the oldest creatures in World of Warcraft is finally getting an update.

Often, the overall picture of an expansion for World of Warcraft gets overlooked, yet it significantly contributes to the atmosphere of the game: updates to already known creatures. Because over the more than 20 years, many beings in WoW simply no longer look contemporary. Therefore, in Dragonflight, the Furbolgs and Gnolls were modernized, and now it’s happening to a few more peaceful creatures – cows. Exactly these have instantly won the community over.

However, dataminers are already dissecting the game data down to the smallest detail. In the process, they have not only found the likely release date for Midnight but also many new character and creature models.

Especially the cows look exceptionally detailed. This is not surprising considering that the old models are nearly 20 years old.

Community is amused but has clear wishes

As trivial as a new cow model might seem to most WoW fans, in the WoW subreddit, it has garnered over 1,200 upvotes and a lot of amused yet serious comments wishing for more:

  • “Please mount, please cow mounts” – PolyAnaMoose
  • “Finally an update for female Tauren! ♥” – ReconKweh
  • “Finally a few adjustments for the Tauren.” – glamscum
  • “This looks better than most playable races now.” – Nebularith

A few hunters are also hoping to be able to tame the cows in the future to go into battle alongside them.

Therefore, I am always very excited when things get a revamp that I first encountered when I set foot into the Nordhaintal for the first time…

I’ve spent 8 hours in Jurassic World Evolution 3 on day one, and I don’t even like the movies

Ody Ody Reading time 4 minutes

For MeinMMO author Ody, Jurassic World Evolution 3 wasn’t originally on the list of the best games of 2025. However, upon release, he was proven wrong – and could hardly keep his fingers off the game.

Actually, Jurassic World Evolution 3 (JWE3) should not have gripped me as much as it currently does. I haven’t played either of the two previous parts extensively, and besides, it is based on the Jurassic World movies. These rely too heavily on generically looking screen monsters for my taste – call them hybrids or mutants – as opposed to focusing on how cool real dinosaurs can be. This is unlike the Jurassic Park trilogy, which I loved as a child.

Who is writing here? Ever since he can remember, Ody has been fascinated by dinosaurs – whether in movies, documentaries, or video games. From time to time, you can find him in the survival game Path of Titans; otherwise, he’s busy in Prehistoric Kingdom and Jurassic World Evolution 3 (or maybe bothering his friends to finally play a few rounds of Deathground with him).

A few weeks before release, the list of new features seemed too tempting for me to simply ignore the game: Modular building like in Planet Zoo and Prehistoric Kingdom? Count me in! Plus, the new baby versions of the animals already looked incredibly cute and just begging to be cuddled in the trailers (which can also be done with the new petting zoo).

The hype for the game hit me late but hard. When the game was released on October 21 at 4 PM, I immediately immersed myself in it for 8 hours straight. For me personally, JWE3 is already one of the best games of the year. But what makes it so good?

Start video
In Jurassic World Evolution 3 baut ihr euch den Dino-Park eurer Träume

A good building game that just happens to have dinosaurs

First and foremost, JWE3 is simply a good building game, whether you like the licence or not. Especially the modular building creates a lot of space for creativity that was simply lacking in its predecessor. Other park builders had a considerable advantage over the series, also because JWE always wanted to be as accessible as possible. However, Part 3 actually manages to cater to both camps.

If you want, you can now build your very own buildings and facilities from many different individual parts. They can be placed freely, opening up countless possibilities for individual structures. If you want to be as quick as possible, you can choose from some pre-made buildings. Due to time constraints, I have mainly used those for my parks, and they look really stylish.

Enclosures can also now be beautified much more easily, for example, with complex rock formations and strategically placed vegetation. In addition, the new environment tools should set standards for future park builders:

  • Waterfalls now automatically occur when you place water down a steep elevation
  • When raising and lowering the terrain, rocks appear that give the ground more texture
  • Ramps can be easily created and bring a whole new level of verticality to your parks

All in all, it has never been easier in any other game in the series to stamp out a beautiful park.

Jurassic World Evolution 3: Ody's first park
I built my first large park with several different species in just a few hours.

Jurassic World Evolution 3 even rivals a game for true enthusiasts

When it comes to the selection of animals, the base game offers a good balance between more modern, nature-inspired designs and the classic designs from the movies. If you want to have the Velociraptors from the movies in your park, you have just as much opportunity as someone who wants to get a large, feathered relative of the T-Rex into the zoo. For me, as a fan of realistic designs, a clear plus.

The new babies top it all off: They behave as one would expect from young animals and bring fresh life to every enclosure.

With the new tools, JWE3 outshines its biggest rival for enthusiasts, which is Prehistoric Kingdom. The park builder is still in Early Access but already provides many things that the Evolution series has been lacking.

Prehistoric Kingdom still offers unique features – such as flowing growth in its animals (in JWE3, young animals immediately become adults after a while without any intermediate steps), designs based on the latest research, and extinct mammals. However, JWE3 has caught up significantly in many aspects and is, in my opinion, currently the clearly more rounded game.

If you want to build your own dino park like John Hammond, there’s currently hardly any way around Jurassic World Evolution 3. The game is not perfect, but on a very good path. And it can get even better if developer Frontier listens to its dedicated community and makes adjustments in the right places.

10 Characters Who Defeated Superman in Battle

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 7 minutes

Superman is almost overwhelmingly strong in both comics and in the movies. However, there have been several characters who have managed to take down the hero. We present to you 10 characters who were victorious.

For some comic fans, Superman is a boring character because he is very strong, acts morally good, and makes hardly any mistakes. However, there are indeed stories in which he faces defeat against his opponents.

This is always a special highlight, because Superman doesn’t carry his name without reason. Hardly any hero or villain can match him. Unfortunately, even the hero from the planet Krypton is not always at his best, and so it can happen that he sometimes falters.

The following 10 characters have proven in battle that Superman can indeed be taken down. Our main point here is that he loses a fight, not that he dies in the process.

Wonder Woman

  • Defeated Superman in: “Wonder Woman: Dead Earth” (2019)

That Superman faces heroes from his own ranks and ends up losing is already unusual. But how it turns out for him against Wonder Woman can only be described as painful and quite uncomfortable.

After all, as an Amazon, she fights exceptionally well and is quite strong. How strong exactly is shown in several stories. However, none is as merciless and brutal as “Wonder Woman: Dead Earth” by Daniel Warren Johnson. In this story, a nuclear attack from the humans occurs, which destroys the homeland of the Amazons, Themyscira, also known as Paradise Island.

Superman could have prevented this but failed. Fueled by anger, Wonder Woman charges at him, and a battle ensues that lays waste to the planet. Superman is badly beaten and dies in the end.

Wonder Woman then tears his spine and skull from his body – Mortal Kombat welcomes. Few of Superman’s defeats are as brutal.

Microsoft brings one of its most important gaming brands with a new remake on PS5, making it clear: The console war is over

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

Microsoft has announced a modern remake of the original Halo, which will be released on PS5 on the first day of release.

Which franchise is it about? Released in 2001, Halo: Combat Evolved was developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft; it was meant to kick off a legendary shooter series that has since seen numerous sequels.

The journey of Halo began on the Xbox and expanded to the PC over the years. However, until now, players on Sony PlayStation consoles have missed out. While Halo was one of the major exclusive titles on Xbox for many years, PlayStation players have been waiting in vain. This is changing now, as reported by the colleagues at GamePro.

Which Halo is coming to PS5? Microsoft has officially presented a remake of the first original Halo, which will also be released for PS5: Halo: Campaign Evolved. You can see the first trailer of the game in new graphical splendor here:

The original Halo in new guise on foreign consoles

What kind of game is that? Halo: Campaign Evolved is a remake of the campaign of the first Halos, Halo: Combat Evolved. The shooter will be released in 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 and will be included in selected versions of Game Pass on release day.

Halo: Campaign Evolved remains true to the story of the original game but also features three new missions with Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson, which take place before the actual story. You can play the three new missions as well as the original story with friends in 4-player online co-op or 2-player couch co-op. Online crossplay is also supported.

As part of the remake, the controls, sound design, and of course the graphics have been improved. Visually, the remake is impressive thanks to Unreal Engine 5.

The end of the console war is becoming increasingly clear: It is now clear that the console war is largely over.

After Xbox Chief Phil Spencer emphasized in February 2025 that he – unlike before – does not want to bring all players to Xbox anymore, Microsoft is now showing with various releases that they want to gradually offer former exclusives on PlayStation.

The kickoff for the release of Xbox games on Sony consoles started earlier this year with games like Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones. These quickly made it onto the wish lists of many PlayStation players: Gamers finally end the console war: Even players on PS5 look forward to new Xbox titles

On Netflix, you can binge 6 seasons of a fantasy series starting tomorrow, which should primarily interest fans of Supernatural

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

When thinking of comic series, people often associate it with the costumed superheroes of Marvel. But on Netflix, you can watch a fantasy series that has a strong resemblance to Supernatural starting on 25.10.2025. With 6 seasons, you also have plenty to watch.

Which series is it about? If you’ve only followed the films from the comic publisher DC, you might not even know that numerous comic series were released in the 2010s.

Among them were classic hero adaptations like The Flash, Arrow, or Supergirl. But also lesser-known characters received their series adaptations. This includes Lucifer. The series consists of a total of 6 seasons, and you should take a look, especially if you miss Supernatural.

Start video
German trailer for season 1 of the fantasy series Lucifer

An incredibly powerful character

What kind of series is Lucifer? Lucifer Morningstar, the Lord of Hell, no longer wants to continue his regular job, which is why he opens a nightclub in Los Angeles. In doing so, he also gets involved with the LAPD and helps solve cases with his supernatural powers.

Additionally, in the 6 seasons of the series, there are also familial conflicts and stories, as angels and Lucifer’s father, God, are also involved. Someone has to take care of Hell after all. As a captive angel, he unites many elements of Christian mythology.

The series is based on the comic series by Mike Carey. The character originally comes from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman universe. The series was published under DC’s Vertigo label, which also deals with more challenging themes.

In the DC universe itself, Lucifer is by far one of the most powerful beings of all time. He is an omnipotent entity that can only be defeated by a few characters. However, he is neither a hero nor a villain. But that doesn’t matter for the series.

How is the series received? All the superhero stuff with strength and great fights is irrelevant for Lucifer. It mainly revolves around the relationships of the characters and the mysterious events in the modern fantasy world. Love and family also play a role, but it involves gods and angels.

It also gets humorous at times, which makes the series interesting for fans of Supernatural as well. One should just not expect too high of a production quality. However, for what Lucifer attempts to realize, it is definitely watchable. Accordingly, Lucifer is primarily a light series that offers comic fans something that is quite different from other superhero series.

On IMDb, the series holds a rating of 8.0 out of 10 stars with over 380,000 reviews. In 2021, according to the market research company Nielsen, the series even gathered more streaming minutes than the first season of Squid Game. However, one must consider that Lucifer had significantly more episodes.

Originally, Fox canceled the series in 2018 after 3 seasons. However, Netflix took over the production of the series due to strong fan support and released 3 more seasons by 2021 (via Deadline).

Starting on 25.10.2025, you can watch all 6 seasons of Lucifer on Netflix.

Battlefield 6: Battle Royale release date leaked – Known insider confirms details about the release

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

An insider has confirmed the leaked release date of the Battle Royale for Battlefield 6.

When will the Battle Royale be released? There have been rumors for some time that the Battle Royale of Battlefield 6 will be released at the start of Season 1 on October 28, 2025. This rumor has now been confirmed by well-known industry insider Tom Henderson.

Henderson writes: “I can now independently confirm that Battlefield 6 Battle Royale is indeed set to appear on October 28 as a shadow drop.”

Another leak confirms this information. Dataminers have reportedly found in the files of Battlefield 6 that a content release on October 28, 2025, is planned, which is not related to Season 1 and carries the code name “Granite” (via X).

Who is the insider? Tom Henderson is known as a well-connected and reliable industry insider who possesses deep contacts with various development studios and publishers – especially in the shooter genre. He is regarded as a reliable source. His leaks and insider information often prove to be true.

What is a shadow drop? In a shadow drop, products such as a game, a new mode, or an expansion are released without prior announcement. It is said that there will be no announcement of the release date for the Battle Royale of Battlefield 6 before it appears.

This is an approach that is occasionally used in the gaming industry. EA also released the battle royale shooter Apex Legends via shadow drop in 2019.

Players of Battlefield 6 have been complaining for days about inaccurate weapons, now a Twitch streamer says: You are to blame yourself

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

If the random spread of weapons in Battlefield 6 is ruining your kills, a small mistake in your gameplay might be to blame, says a Twitch streamer.

What is the problem with the weapons? In Battlefield, there is the so-called Weapon-Bloom. This is the random spread of a weapon’s shots when firing. The bullets do not hit where the sights aim due to the Weapon-Bloom.

During the beta of Battlefield 6, the Weapon-Bloom became a topic of discussion among players. Since the full release of the shooter, however, the discussion has become increasingly heated. Many players are frustrated and convinced that the random spread is stronger than it should be (see Reddit).

The developers announced on October 14, 2025, that they had found two bugs affecting the Weapon-Bloom and are working on them (via X).

Players make a mistake when shooting

In what way are you to blame? The Twitch streamer and YouTuber ottr – known for strong gameplay in games like Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals, and The Finals – is currently mainly playing Battlefield 6. In a clip that you can see on TikTok, the streamer talks about a mistake that many players make in Battlefield 6, leading to stronger Weapon-Bloom.

In many shooters, weapons have a so-called First-Shot-Accuracy. This describes how precise the first shot of a weapon is. It usually hits much more accurately than the subsequent shots in sustained fire. In some games, the second or third bullet is still relatively accurate.

The streamer says that the precision of the first bullets is the best way to avoid Weapon-Bloom. Because while in other games the recoil often increases with longer fire, in Battlefield 6 the Bloom mainly worsens. This, in turn, does not start with the first bullet.

The big mistake that many players make, according to ottr, is firing the weapon continuously without pause while switching from hip-fire to aiming down sights. The first shot is only so precise if you use the sights. However, many players in Battlefield first shoot from the hip at the opponent at the beginning of a shooting switch and then go into aim while shooting – especially in close-range fights.

The streamer says: When you switch to aiming while shooting, the shots are already imprecise due to the spread. You have already lost the precision of the first bullets and see the full extent of the spread in the sights.

What should you change? Shooting from the hip is an important and strong mechanic that you should maintain. Many good players also rely on the laser in their weapon loadouts to better deal with hip-fire and keep the upper hand in close-range duels.

To not suffer under the Weapon-Bloom now, you should pause briefly before going into aim. The weapon can “recover” and when you continue firing through the sights afterward, you enjoy the full precision of your rifle again.

In addition to the overall best weapons, we also show you the representatives of each category that have the least recoil and random spread: Battlefield 6: Best Weapons – With these firearms you are always perfectly equipped

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sends Henry on one last adventure, recalling one of the best quests of its predecessor

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

The trailer for the latest DLC of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is here and recalls one of the best quests from the predecessor. Heinrich travels again to a monastery, although this time there is a different mystery to uncover.

What is the new DLC about? In Mysteria Ecclesiae, Heinrich conducts investigations in a remote monastery. Suddenly, a deadly plague spreads there – and he is supposed to find out what is behind it. The developers promise that this will be Heinrich’s “most haunting investigation yet”.

You can get a first impression of the new DLC in the trailer. It is set to be released on November 11, 2025.

Start video
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sends Heinrich back to the monastery in its last DLC

Which quest from the predecessor does the DLC remind of? With its setting, the last DLC recalls “The Needle in the Haystack,” a main quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance and one of the most memorable quests in the entire game.

In this quest, Heinrich was infiltrated as a novice into the Sasau monastery to locate someone there. To avoid drawing attention, he had to adapt to the daily life of the monks. For example, he was not allowed to miss communal prayer or meals, and for more serious offenses, he was even thrown out of the monastery.

How the new DLC ties into the gameplay of this quest is not yet clear from the trailer. Since Heinrich appears in his regular armor, he seems, at least, not to be undercover throughout.

Fans are already mourning the game

How is the trailer received by the fans? Players are definitely ready for the next monastery, as the comments on the trailer on YouTube show:

  • “PTSD from the Monastery quest in KCD1 intensifies,” jokes ethancarter.
  • marcdwonn9772 also says: “One of the best quests in KCD1, it turned a good game into a great game for me.”

However, a certain sadness is also spreading in the comments. After all, this is the last DLC for KCD2, as the trailer emphasizes once again. Many players, however, do not want it to end yet.

  • “please no its too soon.” (MrMattKaye)
  • “I don’t want this game to end.” (Grapefruit5000)
  • “The only thing that makes me sad is that this is the last one.” (AFOKHAOS)
  • “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” (ArathirCz)
  • “I’m crying right now- that’s how much this series means to me.” (JohnPaulSaylor)

Fans are now hoping for a possible Kingdom Come: Deliverance 3. However, this has not yet been officially announced.

A player from a popular MMORPG wants to eat 500,000 fish, but the community believes he just wants to get rich

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Old School RuneScape, a player has made it his mission to eat 500,000 fish. While the community supports him in his mission, he is also faced with accusations of market manipulation.

What is the player planning? In Old School RuneScape, there are quite a few more or less crazy goals. One player has now taken on the mission to eat 500,000 trout in the game. For this, he receives the nickname “Troutman” from the community in the game.

Although there is no title for this in the game or anything similar, many players celebrate the self-imposed goal and help with his mission.

Here you can watch a trailer for the game:

Start video
Old School RuneScape shows the “Group Ironman” mode in the trailer

Much support despite accusations

How is the community helping the “Troutman”? The Troutman, who is actually found in the game under the username Lousifer, is getting a lot of help from other players in the MMORPG. In order to eat 500,000 trout, he first needs to have them in his inventory.

To ensure that the mission does not take a decade, he would have to buy the trout accordingly or receive them as gifts from other players. The latter is happening every day in RuneScape. A crowd of players gathers around Lousifer, following him and supplying him daily with new trout that he can consume.

In the process, he also drives prices up and causes accusations.

What are these accusations? Although the Troutman has become somewhat of an attraction in RuneScape, there are also opponents of his cult. They believe the player might manipulate the market. For example, he could sell fish with another account or even reoffer fish that are given to him back on the marketplace.

His actions have certainly driven the price of trout in the MMORPG up, as the website osrs.exchange proves. While the fish were previously sold for around 40 gold, the selling price is currently at 104 gold. Some of his fans are likely buying the trout to gift to him.

After 91.3 billion felled opponents, a co-op shooter for Warhammer 40k is still not done with you

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Warhammer: 40,000 Darktide are celebrating a special anniversary for their fantasy game “Vermintide.” In line with the celebrations, they have now revealed a small roadmap that you might find very exciting.

What kind of anniversary is that? Fatshark, the developers of Darktide, are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Vermintide – the fantasy variant of the coop shooter. Accordingly, the developers have published a video on YouTube, listing various statistics from both games.

These statistics show all achieved kills, mission completions, defeats, and much more. In addition to the extraordinary values, there was a surprise for the fans at the end of the video, as a small roadmap for both games was revealed, promising new content.

You can expect the following content soon:

  • For Darktide
    • Stolen Rations – In-game event (October 21, 2025)
    • Reveal of a new class (November 11, 2025)
    • Free update & special event (December 2, 2025)
  • For Vermintide 2
    • Secret Night – In-game event (October 23, 2025)
    • Return to the Reik – New & free level (November 20, 2025)
    • Gifts of the Wolf-Father – In-game event (December 9, 2025)

The most exciting part of the roadmap is the new class for Darktide and the new map for Vermintide. Which new playable character you can expect in the coop shooter is still unclear. There are currently no details about it. So you’ll have to be patient for a few more weeks.

Players underestimate an essential mechanic in Dungeons & Dragons that everyone should use

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 3 minutes

A mechanic in Dungeons & Dragons is often overlooked, even though there are many applications for it. A game master shows why it is more important than it may seem.

What mechanic are we talking about? Hardly any mechanic leads to as much discussion in the community as the bonus action (see Reddit). Many players find it unnecessary in the rules of the 5th edition or simply do not know how to use it because it offers little obvious advantage.

In a combat round in Dungeons & Dragons, players can move within their range, take an action, and take a bonus action. However, bonus actions are not always available. A bonus action can only be taken if a specific ability, spell, or other game function explicitly states that it can be done as a bonus action.

Because they are so limited and not available to every character, many players feel that they cannot use them properly or that it is pointless for them to even exist.

If you play according to the 2024 rulebook, even minor actions like drinking a potion are, newly, a bonus action. This makes them seem much more meaningful for all classes, but still, some would like to see more options.

A game master therefore shares his approach on Reddit to develop meaningful additional bonus actions for his players. But it shows: This is not as easy as it seems. And it also shows that bonus actions are already more meaningful than they may seem.

Start video
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves – Second Official Trailer for the Movie

Is it all a matter of balance?

Why are bonus actions underrated? User Worried_Bowl_9489 shares in his thread on Reddit his attempt to develop his own bonus actions that all his players can use. In the comments, many users point out to him that many of his ideas are already anchored somewhere else in the game.

For example, the actions “Help” and “Shove” in the game are already considered full actions and not bonus actions, which would affect the balance of the game. Additionally, other suggestions are anchored in the features of various classes or talents and would make these redundant or less unique (see Reddit).

Thus, there is a risk that players of these classes or talents feel overlooked or would resort to other things, although they already have a right to exist in the game. It also has to be considered that a player turn lasts about 6 seconds. This means that the action should take around 4 seconds and the bonus action should take about 2 seconds.

Therefore, bonus actions are indeed to be seen more as a situational “bonus” rather than an action that should be fully utilized in every round. Even developing bonus actions would require an immense understanding of the game and subtlety to not jeopardize game balance. They are important to give shape to certain classes, minor abilities, or items, rather than for players to maximize the 6 seconds every time.

Here you see the list of ideas that the game master has come up with as new bonus actions for his players:

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Reddit that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.
Link to the Reddit content

Should one not use the suggestions of the game master or develop their own? No, because it mainly depends on what you want to achieve with your own rule adjustments and what intention they originated from. As always, it primarily depends on the group and their expectations for the game.

For example, if you play with a group that likes to maximize their stats with minimal effort and enjoys diving deep into rules and sticking to them, you should avoid such things. But if you are mainly playing with a role-playing focus, where cool situations are more important than a game with 100% balanced stats, then there is absolutely nothing against it.

In the case of Worried_Bowl_9489, the latter is more the case, and that is why he developed the list to provide his players with a bit more fun. And perhaps others will also find encouragement or ideas in his list on how to make their own game a bit more exciting.

Either way, bonus actions play an important role in the game that should not be overlooked. Be it to make certain classes, abilities, talents, or items more original and maintain balance, or to remodel them and use them as another option for storytelling in combat.

As always, it depends on having fun together while playing and telling a cool story. It doesn’t matter if you adapt the rules for yourself or strictly adhere to them, as long as it works for the group. However, it becomes complicated when individual players want to ignore all rules: A player ruins the fun for his group in Dungeons & Dragons because he does not follow simple rules

New WoW feature shows you “false friends” everywhere – Here’s how to disable it

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A new feature in World of Warcraft is supposed to help, but it causes a lot of confusion. The light blue names are often annoying.

That it can sometimes be a bit toxic in MMORPGs is now old news. But in a world with “random groups” and connected realms, where you might only meet many players once and not remember them afterwards, it can be difficult to make connections. World of Warcraft wanted to change that with a feature called “Recent Allies.” However, it can be quite frustrating if you don’t know how to turn it off.

Start video
WoW Legion Remix: This insane time travel works

What is this feature? With patch 11.2.5, a new feature was implemented in World of Warcraft called “Recent Allies.” The feature is supposed to promote more social interaction and help you remember the players you might have recently played with in a dungeon or a raid.

Such characters with whom you have recently interacted can currently be recognized in the world because they have a “light blue” name – which previously was reserved for friends or current group and raid members.

The somewhat unpleasant catch: The feature can also be used to annoy people. Because in the friends list (key: O), there is a new tab for “Recent Allies.” There, all characters that you have recently encountered in this way are listed – both by name, as well as their online status and the location they are currently in within the game world. This may provide some with a bit too much insight that they may not want.

WoW Recent Allies Block
You need to turn off the function – for each character individually.

Light blue names everywhere in WoW – How to turn this off

How can you deactivate this? If you don’t want random people to permanently see what you are currently doing in the game or whether you are online, you need to set this manually.

This can be done through the main menu (Escape), then go to “Options,” then to “Contacts,” and then find the entry for “Location Visibility.” Select “Friends and Guild Members” here and close the menu again.

Note that you have to set this for each individual character if you don’t want to appear on other people’s “Recent Allies” list.

Especially annoying is the feature for those who use role-playing add-ons, such as “TotalRP3.” Because these add-ons communicate, unseen by players, via the whisper channel to share various information. However, the game registers this as “a conversation has taken place.”

When logging in next, you will then see light blue names of supposed friends and characters you allegedly interacted with everywhere – even though you may have only received their role-playing information. Soon most of us will probably create a new character anyway and will have to set these settings again, because a player shows why we will all soon only play Haranir.

Riot confirms new champion for 2026, but he is for the “wrong” League of Legends

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Whether you are a professional, casual, or ranked player: New champions are a highlight for most in League of Legends. In a new announcement, Riot is already talking about a new champion for 2026, but they will initially not appear in the original LoL.

What has Riot announced? On the official Wild Rift account (via x.com), Riot announced a significant development expected in the mobile game League of Legends in 2026: Next year, for the first time, a new champion is set to appear in Wild Rift.

Which champion it will be is still unclear. The announcement itself has created mixed reactions in the community, especially because they suspect which champion it will be.

Players fear exclusivity

How is the announcement received by the community? The reactions to the news are mixed. Many LoL players feel disregarded. User @spookyratthing writes on x.com: Terrible. Champions should not be exclusive to WR. @Skeyzicks is also unhappy and mentions that there were exclusive skins first, and now also exclusive champions.

There seems to be a lot of frustration because players already suspect who it is. Through the portal posted with the announcement, fans are sure: Norra is coming to the game. She is a Yordle who already has a card in Legends of Runeterra and was also featured as a unit in Set 12 of Teamfight Tactics.

Wild Rift is not just a mobile port of League of Legends. The game has its own structure, its own content, and also exclusive skins, which have caused discontent in the past.

Is the new champion really exclusive to Wild Rift? The announcement does not make that clear. Riot only mentions that Wild Rift is introducing a new champion for the first time. However, that does not mean it won’t appear in the normal LoL in the future.

So far, Riot has not announced the next champion for PC LoL; however, leaks and teasers in a motion comic discuss the Darkin Zaahen (via esportsinsider.com). Darkin are warriors sealed in weapons who have been corrupted by the Void. Aatrox, Naafiri, and Kayn (Raast) are already Darkin included in the game.

The new big bad of Critical Role Campaign 4 is known – And no good roll will save the players

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

The new campaign from Critical Role has just started and it’s already known who the big villain and final boss will be. And none other than the new campaign leader has confirmed the information.

Who or what will the big new villain be? In a video on X.com, the new Dungeon Master for Critical Role, Brennan Lee Mulligan, is asked a question: Can he confirm that the new big villain of the campaign is capitalism?

Mulligan gets specific: Yes, capitalism is the big villain of this campaign. However, he wants to remain realistic. He explains that capitalism is a very new phenomenon, even if it seems older. Money and economy are much older. He would rather incorporate a form of mercantilism into his world, an economic policy that was in use approximately between the 16th and 19th centuries.

So modern capitalism won’t be it after all. And it’s also not yet clear in what form economic policy will manifest in the campaign – capitalism is probably difficult to combat with dice rolls.

Start video
The 4th Campaign of Critical Role starts now and is bigger than ever

Capitalism as the final boss? Perhaps not so blunt

Will the big villain really be economic policy? Probably not, at least not in the form of a big monster named capitalism. At the time of this news, only the four episodes of the overture have gone live, which introduced the characters and basic story beats of the campaign.

An overarching villain is not yet known. It will probably take a while. The actual final bosses of Vox Machina and the Mighty Nein, for example, were also only revealed towards the end of their respective campaigns.

However, it is quite possible that Brennan Lee Mulligan will introduce players to capitalistically oriented NPCs and opponents. Their actions, according to their doctrine, could then of course lead to disasters and unleashed monsters that must be dealt with by the players.

What is the current status of campaign 4? The current fourth major campaign of Critical Role just started in early October. The episode from October 23rd or 24th, 2025, concluded the pre-recorded overture that introduced the characters, world, and setting.

Starting with episode five, the 13-member cast will split into three groups in the Westmarch campaign style. What exactly this campaign type is has been explained by MeinMMO author Caroline Fuller. However, it’s currently unclear whether the next episode will be streamed on Halloween.

The schedule on Twitch notes a stream for the night of October 30th to 31st for campaign 4, but the group frequently takes breaks for the cast and is known for one-shots on special occasions like Halloween.

Participants of 7 vs. Wild steal items from indigenous people despite a ban, fans complain about rule chaos

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 3 minutes

The participants of 7 vs. Wild Amazonas repeatedly break the rules in the new season. However, the new incident exceeds the previous ones and has also led to complaints from fans.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for 7 vs. Wild Season 5 Episodes 1-6

Which rule was broken? Shortly after the start of 7 vs. Wild Amazonas, the contestants decided to disregard the important safety rule for the campfire in the camp. However, the rule violations continued in the latest episode.

In search of the next mailbox, which should contain the next steps of the organization, host Jeannine Michaelsen and survival expert David Leichtle found fishing equipment and a boat. According to production overlays, these belong to the indigenous peoples nearby. However, this does not deter the participants.

Who lives there? As the production of 7 vs. Wild reveals in the first episode of its format “Behind the Scenes” on YouTube, different indigenous groups live in the drop-off area of the participants. While 7 vs. Wild is allowed to film there, altering existing structures is strictly prohibited.

Trymacs has also been a contestant on 7 vs. Wild, here you can learn more about him:

Rule-breaking and trouble with the fans

What happens to the found items? Despite Jeannine Michaelsen’s objections, survival expert David Leichtle decides to take the fishing equipment with him. He explains at that moment that the owner likely wouldn’t have found it deep in the jungle.

However, production contradicts the participant through an overlay. They write:

The previously found, old markings on the tree were probably placed by the indigenous people so that they could find their fishing spot and utensils again. Indeed, the group is taking items from indigenous people here.

Overlay from 7 vs. Wild Episode 6 on Amazon Prime

Shortly thereafter, the two participants find a small boat. Here too, production points out: “This boat was not provided by the 7 vs. Wild team, and it would be theft if the participants took the boat with them.”

The contestants ultimately decide against the boat, as it turns out to be unseaworthy; however, the two previously tested whether they could use it.

How do fans react to the rule violations? Fans of 7 vs. Wild are not pleased with the many rule violations. However, they do not see the fault solely with the contestants. The overall situation regarding the many rules and the constant disregard for them is a problem for the viewers.

This is also the view of Reddit user xxax_xxax, who explains: “The chaos of rules remains one of the major problems of the season. Instead of confusing everyone (including the viewers) with the many, partly nonsensical and unclear regulations, the focus could have been on a few clear rules, e.g. leaving out the fire rule and formulating simple rules like: Absolutely do not use anything of human origin. The stuff is lying around everywhere because it is in human proximity for safety reasons, and this contradicts, unlike the garbage beaches in Panama, the concept somehow.”

Already in the trailer for 7 vs. Wild, great fishing successes can be seen. Fans speculate on Reddit that these may come from the net found and taken in the episode.
