New MMORPG on Steam has also been available on Game Pass since its release, developers reveal how many players it has in total

Karsten Scholz 24. October 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

On October 16, 2025, a new sandbox MMORPG called Pax Dei was released on Steam, Epic Games, GeForce Now, and in the Game Pass. Now the developers reveal how many players were active in the launch week.

How many players are playing Pax Dei? We previously reported that Pax Dei significantly increased its player count on Steam at launch compared to the previous months – from around 400 players during prime time to regularly over 5,500, peaking at even 6,500 simultaneous active Steam users.

But how many players overall accompanied the MMORPG at launch? After all, Pax Dei is playable on Steam, Epic Games, GeForce Now, and – for the very first time – Microsoft’s PC Game Pass. This is exactly what the developers revealed on their official Discord channel.

In the few days so far, the response has been incredible. We welcomed the PC Game Pass community, which joined the players on Steam, Epic, and GeForce Now on the newly opened shards.

In the past week, we have seen over 90,000 active players enter Gallia across all platforms, forming clans, building houses and villages, and creating hours of adventures together. Every story, every creation, every encounter brings the world to life and reminds us why we created it in the first place.

The release trailer for Pax Dei:

Unique MMORPG for a small niche

How does Pax Dei compare? More than 90,000 players is not a bad number. Especially considering that the previous all-time high of simultaneous active Steam users was only 11,531 (source: steamdb.info) … and this peak was 16 months ago, still from the Early Access launch.

However, the number also shows that Pax Dei, with its special focus on crafting, resource gathering, and social medieval experience, targets a rather small audience. The subscription model, which is optional but mandatory for properties, further exacerbates the niche existence.

It will be interesting to see how player numbers develop as the first fees come due in the coming months. Here are some statistics from other MMORPG launches over the past few years:

Throne and Liberty had 4,527,940 players in the first launch month.
Lost Ark celebrated over 1.3 million simultaneous active Steam users at launch. Overall, the MMORPG has over 20 million players worldwide.
Amazon Games did not release sales numbers for New World, but it is said that a strong 913,634 Steam users were simultaneously in Aeternum at launch. Currently, there are regularly over 40,000.

What does the community say about the number? The MMORPG community is currently discussing the developers’ post from Pax Dei. Particularly interesting is the report from FFIVCherry on Reddit, who plays Pax Dei with his family, specifically through PC Game Pass. The small group has treated themselves to access for 4 properties and had quite a bit of fun building and farming together in the beginning.

However, there is already a sense of fatigue and frustration growing in the small family because crafting is increasingly characterized by long wait times, a low number of resource sources, and failures during the crafting process. It is therefore becoming apparent that they will not renew the subscription and will stop playing Pax Dei.

Many other players are also unconvinced or even doubt the numbers after a trial run.

Alarm-Particular speculates on Reddit: “I don’t want to say it’s not true, but I personally find it hard to believe. It’s a new MMO and hasn’t even made it into the top 20 of MMOs on Steam.”
Lamlorde writes on Reddit: “I gave it a try. Didn’t like it, uninstalled it again, but technically, I count in this statistic as well. So I can easily imagine that you could reach 90,000 like that.”
squidgod2000 explains on Reddit: “From what I’ve seen in the game, at least 80%+ of those 90,000 players are from the PC Game Pass, which will not be reflected in the Steam numbers. I suspect this is a good method to gain visibility for the game, but the retention of these players is probably much lower than that of people who paid directly for the game.”

ARC Raiders: 8 beginner tips you should know before the release

Christos Tsogos 24. October 2025 Reading time 4 minutes

As a newcomer, ARC Raiders may seem complicated for some. Extraction shooters are not exactly known for their beginner-friendliness. Therefore, we present you 8 tips that you should know before starting.

What are these tips? ARC Raiders has a simple gameplay principle: Choose a map, spawn, search for loot, and escape with a full bag of items. As simple as it may sound, your journey will be fraught with great difficulties, and if you dive into the genre as a newcomer, additional problems will arise.

The entry is certainly not easy and may even overwhelm some players. Therefore, we will show you things to consider to ensure you have a relaxed start upon release. These tips focus on your equipment, tactics, and your enemies. There’s something for everyone.

Crouch to avoid detection

Crouching is among the most important features in ARC Raiders. While crouching, you can reduce the noise of your movement, allowing you to cross various areas silently. This is especially useful when you want to avoid ARC patrols to not suddenly find yourself in a line of fire.

The same applies to real players in your vicinity. Therefore, if you find yourself in a dangerous area, it doesn’t hurt to move quietly.

Take blue items instead of rare ones

If you want to earn money, you need to loot a lot in ARC Raiders, but which items should you take? At first glance, your eyes are drawn to items with a diamond marking. These materials are considered rare and should theoretically yield the most, but that was not the case during the server slam.

Items with blue rarity had a higher market value. Whether this will change by the release is uncertain, but so far, you should focus on blue-bordered items when looting.

Aim for the ARC’s weak points

The ARC represents one of the dangers during your explorations, as they can be armored, fast, and exceedingly efficient when fighting against you. These robots seem almost unbeatable, especially when they attack in groups – but they also have weak points.

In battle, you should not shoot wildly at their chassis, but rather save your bullets. Therefore, aim at mechanical body parts and engines. Also, use weapons with high armor penetration, as these are much stronger in combat against robots and armored raiders.

Coordinate with your squad

In a friend squad or matched with random players – always coordinate. ARC Raiders can be played much more tactically and leisurely if you follow the same paths in the group. Additionally, this makes every fight a piece of cake, as focused group fire can take down enemies much more quickly.

Some users reported many issues with the voice chat related to crashes. In such cases, you can use the in-house party chat (for console) on the same platforms or switch to Discord. These options seemed to be more reliable during the server slam.

Align your equipment

In connection with the voice chat, coordinating your equipment within the squad is also crucial. Who takes which items, is there a player who takes on the role of the medic and primarily stocks up on bandages? Does anyone have space for ammunition and supplies the squad when there’s a lack of bullets?

You should clarify such things before your drop into the border zone, so you are not overwhelmed by a better-prepared squad in sweaty situations. It would be frustrating, for example, if you bleed out because you didn’t plan for additional bandages.

Do not play aggressively

Even though ARC Raiders exudes a touch of Mad Max through its apocalyptic setting, you should not charge at your enemies like a barbarian and attack them without tactics. The goal is to be more tactical and weigh which confrontations seem worthwhile and which should be ignored. Take your time exploring and observe what is happening on the map. Rambo-style players unfortunately do not last long in the borderlands.

Plan your routes

If you want to loot profitably, you need to familiarize yourself with the different maps and plan your routes accordingly. Fixed routes are important because each map has POIs. These POIs have different loot amounts, marked from white (for little loot) to red (for a lot of loot).

Each spawn point is randomly chosen, but your objectives before the start do not change. Therefore, it is crucial to know which path leads fastest to loot and your escape option. The latter is essential because you should plan for chases with enemies.

It would be frustrating if you were being hunted and ended up lost because you didn’t know where the next exit was. A plan saves you time while exploring and also offers you security.

Do not take too many items before an expedition

The most important point is related to your storage, which you should use before your next expedition. Pack all items you do not need into your box to keep them safe. If you forget this step, you will lose all your items upon dying and will have to watch an enemy take your belongings. Therefore, limit your inventory to some ammunition, your weapon, and possibly a few bandages if you do not have anyone in your squad carrying them for the whole team.

That was all our beginner tips for newcomers in ARC Raiders. The release isn’t long away. If you are interested in the shooter and have no idea what to expect at release, we can offer you an overview: ARC Raiders: All about release, price, and crossplay

A feature in Pokémon GO is particularly worthwhile this weekend to gain a lot of Stardust

Paul Kutzner 24. October 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

On weekends, there are more rewards in a section of Pokémon GO than usual. And that can really pay off.

Fighting is one of the fundamental pillars of the game for many trainers in Pokémon GO. In addition to raids and dynamic battles, there is also the Battle League, where trainers can compete against other players and earn various rewards.

During the weekend, a battle weekend takes place in the Battle League. And even if you might not frequent the Battle League often, you should consider participating in a few battles over the next few days.

When does the event take place? The battle weekend starts on Saturday, October 25, 2025 at 12:00 PM and runs until Sunday, October 26, 2025 at 11:59 PM.

What does the event bring? While you can normally only complete 20 battles per day in the Battle League, the number is increased to 100 battles per day on both days. Furthermore, the stardust you earn for winning battles is quadrupled. This does not include the rewards you receive at the end of a battle set.

Additionally, there is a free limited research event. You can earn, among other things, glasses in the style of Citro for your avatar. Pokémon rewards you receive in the Battle League also have a greater variance in their IV values during the event.

What modes are currently active in the Battle League? The Battle League regularly switches the modes that you can play. Since October 21, 2025, the Great League, Ultra League, and Master League are active. These modes are also activated during the event and remain so until October 28, 2025.

After that, from October 28, 2025 to November 4, 2025, the Great League and the Halloween Cup in the Great League format will follow.

Everyone knows the Joker, but few know what he really is

Niko Hernes 24. October 2025 Reading time 5 minutes

The Batman villain that everyone really knows is probably the Joker. Whether in movies, games, or comics, the Clown Prince of Crime always makes an impression. But there is more to his origin and story than one might think.

Batman first appeared in May 1939 in Detective Comics No. 27. The character, created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, received his own comic series a year later. In spring 1940, Batman No. 1 was released. There, the superhero, along with Robin, who made his first appearance in Detective Comics No. 38, fought against the Joker.

The Joker was different from the gangsters and everyday villains Batman encountered at that time. His first design had a particular source of inspiration: a silent film by a German director.

The Man Who Laughs

What was the first design of the Joker based on? It is not entirely clear who really invented the Joker. Jerry Robinson, an assistant to the artist Bob Kane, repeatedly stated that he invented him, including in a YouTube video by the Los Angeles Times.

However, in 1994, Bob Kane explained in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that Robinson had nothing to do with the creation, and that they only used a playing card he had brought along. In the interview, Kane mentions a cinematic inspiration for the Joker’s design.

In 1928, the silent film The Man Who Laughs (Der Mann, der lacht) by German director Paul Leni was released. There, Conrad Veidt played the lead role of Gwynplaine. In the film, the character is punished with a surgical operation: he can only grin madly and make no other face.

During his first appearance, the Joker presents himself in his iconic purple suit and shows himself as a ruthless criminal who always has a smile on his face. Robin even points this out during the character’s supposed death: Even in death, he still grins!

You can see a comparison between Joker’s first appearance and Conrad Veidt in The Man Who Laughs here:

Comparison of Joker's first appearance with Conrad Veidt in The Man Who Laughs — On the left is the clip of the Joker’s first appearance in 1940 from *Joker Anthology* by DC Comics, on the right is Conrad Veidt in *The Man Who Laughs*

In a guest contribution on awardsfocus.com, film producer Michael Uslan, who has been involved in several Batman and DC projects, talks about the creation of the Joker. He explains that the Joker was meant to be the antithesis to Batman:

Ironically, the Joker wore the mask of the happy carnival, like in Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado”, hiding the bubbling horror and evil that lurked beneath the surface. But Batman, the symbol of good, was disguised in the dark, monstrous mask of a bat.
Michael Uslan on the idea behind the Joker

With one appearance, it was inevitable, and the Joker became the most popular Batman villain of all time, becoming an important figure in pop culture as well. However, even in the comics themselves, the Joker holds a special role among Batman’s foes.

The Game with the Backstory

How did the Joker come about within the Batman universe? There is no concrete, definitive answer to this. When you look at Batman’s villains, many of them are broken souls who became what they are due to tragic events. Take Two-Face, for example, who initially wanted to serve justice.

In his first appearance in 1940, the Joker had no backstory. Over time, various ones were created for him, which differ from each other and were never as consistent as with other characters.

In 1951, Detective Comics No. 168 was published. There, Bill Finger gave the Joker his first origin story. He was once the villain Red Hood, who fell into a chemical vat while escaping from Batman. This also inspired Tim Burton in his Batman film from 1989. There, the criminal Jack Napier, played by Jack Nicholson, becomes the Joker.

A particular comic regarding the Joker is the one-shot Batman: The Killing Joke by legendary author Alan Moore. In this, the Joker was once a lab assistant who quit to become a comedian. However, he could not afford to support his pregnant wife. Out of desperation and financial strain, he participated in a robbery. Before the robbery, he learns that his wife is dead.

He receives the Red Hood mask from the criminals, and when Batman shows up, he jumps into a chemical vat, which turns him into the Joker (via DC Database). The tragic elements from The Killing Joke can be found in the film Joker from 2019, in which Joaquin Phoenix plays the character.

Within the comic story, the Joker received countless backstories, sometimes tragic, sometimes mystical, sometimes completely absurd. However, Alan Moore already played with this in The Killing Joke. There, the Joker says: If I must have a past, I’d prefer it to be multiple choice. The Joker is more than a criminal; he is a curse.

The Joker is Not a Human, He is Gotham’s Ulcer

What is the Joker in the Batman universe? Unlike his backstory, one can be quite certain about his goal: Batman. He is obsessed with the hero. Real goals, such as building a crime syndicate or having power and money, usually do not interest him. As mentioned before, he is supposed to be the antithesis to Batman. And he represents that.

Batman symbolizes hope. Everything was taken from him, yet he does not turn his back on the city; he wants to save it. The Joker is the opposite. He has existed since Batman became active and is personified chaos. He is the ulcer that will fight against Batman and his mission until the end. He is the dark side of the city. In his trilogy, Nolan also played with this idea.

Therefore, the Joker mostly does not care about killing Batman. He would then have no purpose anymore. He wants to break Batman, to give him the One Bad Day that destroys him. This is also Batman’s biggest conflict. He does not want to kill the Joker, no matter how terrible things he does, like torturing his sidekick.

In Batman: Death in the Family (via YouTube), it is even shown that he becomes a normal guy after Batman dies.

Every second trade runs in Path of Exile 2 already through the new system, now the developers announce it also for the predecessor

Cedric Holmeier 23. October 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Path of Exile have introduced their new season and are also bringing the successful trading system from the sequel. How successful it is and what else is coming will be revealed by the developers.

What about the trading system? The developers of Path of Exile have introduced their new season. One of the highlights is the new trading system, which enables asynchronous trading between characters. Players already know this system from the sequel, where it was very successful.

How successful it was, MeinMMO wanted to know from Game Director Marc Roberts. He revealed that between 40% and 50% of all trading in Path of Exile 2 is already taking place through the new system. The range arises from fake trading, for example, when friends lend each other equipment parts.

In Path of Exile (1), the system is supposed to come into play normally through housing and the NPC Faustus. In addition to the currency exchange for gold, he will also have the usual functions of the trading side, which can be expanded for real money. The pages already purchased for the sequel should also be available in Path of Exile.

Players can offer their items at a fixed price starting with the new season without having to interact with other players. However, the old trading system will also remain unchanged in the game. So there is no compulsion to use the new system.

The new trailer for “Keepers of the Flame”:

Start video

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

Autoplay

10 new classes and 2 new equipment pieces

What does the new season offer? The new season of Path of Exile brings new features once again. A major innovation is the 10 new Bloodline classes, which serve as alternative Ascendancy classes. To unlock these, you must defeat a boss with your character and thereby unlock the boss’s Bloodline class. A change should also be possible.

There are also two additional equipment items. These are 2 mutated arms that grow out of your character’s back and each attack independently with their own abilities, regardless of your character. The abilities and stats of their attacks can be altered through a special crafting system.

Initially, however, only one arm is available to the characters. The second is only supposed to grow later when players have ascended in the new progression system.

What does the season mechanism look like? The new season “Keepers of the Flame” is the first successor season ever in Path of Exile. With it, the developers are replacing the Breach system and adding new, interesting mechanics.

Breach was the season that was released in 2016 and has always been one of the most popular endgame mechanics. It is characterized primarily by the fact that players have to defeat as many enemies as possible while running in a circle.

The developers want to maintain this core, according to Marc Roberts, with “Breach 2.0”, even though they aim to create an innovative extension with the new systems. After the season, the “normal” Breach will return and the best mechanics from the upgrade might be added – provided the players enjoy it.

RPG on Steam turns an ordinary fisherman into a legendary hero, now the developer grants tough bosses

Caroline Fuller 23. October 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In the role-playing game Nice Day for Fishing on Steam, you must develop from a fisherman to the hero of a small town as the catch starts to fight back. Now the developers are releasing a new free update that makes the fishy enemies even nastier.

What kind of game is this? With Nice Day for Fishing from FusionPlay, it’s a 2D pixel-style role-playing game where you, as a simple fisherman, must save your hometown when things start going wrong. Equipped with a fishing rod, you must face nasty enemies in fishing battles, arm yourself with the right bait, and execute perfect attacks with the right timing to become the hero.

The game receives a very positive rating on Steam (88% of user reviews are positive) and is praised by players especially for its humor. Behind the game is a group of YouTubers who maintain a similar tone in their video projects that is worthy of a fisherman’s fight against nasty fish.

Now the role-playing game is receiving a new free update that brings not only worse enemies into play.

Here you see the trailer for Nice Day for Fishing on Steam:

The nasty fish will get even nastier

What does the new update include? The developers of Nice Day for Fishing are giving their players with the second update of the game additional content that brings seasonal events to the town of Honeywood, but also new challenges.

After the developers made life in the game easier with fast travel portals after the first update, they now want to introduce something more dangerous – in the form of new elite enemies.

These elite enemies are not only stronger but also require a bit more finesse and strategy to defeat.

In addition to the new enemies, the update also includes a new workshop in the center of Honeywood, as well as sails made from scales that can give the boats better base and sprint speed, but also delay and braking power.

What else can players expect? The developers report in a press release available to MeinMMO that with the update, a secret boss may appear who is one of the most powerful enemies in the entire game – if you can find him.

This boss is quite well hidden and can only be found by fishermen who pay close attention.

Nevertheless, one should take on the search, because those who defeat this boss can expect a proper reward befitting a professional fisherman.

ARC Raiders invites 190,000 players to crash the servers; now the devs explain the 4 things they want to improve.

Cedric Holmeier 23. October 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The developers of the new shooter ARC Raiders welcomed 190,000 players simultaneously to their server test. Now the developers explain which 4 things they want to improve before the release.

What kind of game is this? ARC Raiders is an upcoming extraction shooter from developer studio Embark, which already made waves with their first shooter The Finals. The shooter officially launches on October 30, 2025, on Steam, but players were allowed to test the game during the server slam weekend between October 17 and 20.

In ARC Raiders, it’s all about nasty robots that have conquered the Earth’s surface. As a brave raider, you still venture there to loot and complete tasks. Along the way, you encounter not only the hostile machines but also other players who are, as usual, not always peaceful.

Recently, all players who wanted to could try the new shooter during a major server slam for a weekend. According to SteamDB, almost 190,000 players joined the servers at the same time. The developers have now released a new update and explained what they learned from it.

Here you can watch the trailer for ARC Raiders:

Four things that will change by release

What have the developers learned? The developers of ARC Raiders have published a statement on ArcRaiders.com, naming four points that will change before the release.

The first point concerns server stability. It has already been improved during the test, and they are continuing to work on fixing further instabilities that arose during testing.

There will also be a nerf. The developers explain as the second point that they want to nerf the vision of the flying ARCs. During the test, it was noticed that the robots could see through bushes and trees, which made them too strong. At release, they will no longer have this ability.

The third point concerns the so-called “Dam Tower.” The tower was too easily reached by players in the beta, which is not the point of it. Therefore, the path to it will become a bit more difficult.

As the last point, the developers mention changes to the graphics. Those who have tested ARC Raiders before the server slam may have noticed that the graphics had deteriorated slightly. This happened for performance reasons, but they will take another look at the issue and find the right balance between good looks and performance.

Community is excited and has demands

What does the community think about the changes? The four changes are well received by the community. Players are generally hyped about the shooter and want to start as soon as possible. However, there are concerns about change number 4.

Reddit user James_bd explains that the developers should definitely not hide bushes on low graphics settings. Stealth in the game is very important. Other users also complain about this on Reddit:

User o_oli writes: “Yes, I tried it so many times and failed to hide in the foliage only to get shot. That is SUPER frustrating. I must have really looked dumb to everyone with low settings crouching out in the open landscape, lol.”
User middle1984 has experienced this too: “Trust me, you weren’t the only one who thought bushes would provide cover. Most probably thought that. I thought maybe the ARCs had heat sensors.”
User Steve44465 explains why this is a problem: “The fact that a large part of the game revolves around stealth and hiding, but different graphics options cause the positions of the foliage to change, is just bad. I hope they fix this and simply reduce the detail accuracy of the bushes instead of moving them to other areas of the map.”

What does the content creator say about this task? Ninotakutv is absolutely relieved that after a year in which he was not allowed to say anything on the subject, he can finally reveal the news. As an anime enthusiast, journalist, and creator, it has been a very long time.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is new, but players will have to wait longer for Elden Ring than expected

Cedric Holmeier 23. October 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Defeating bosses in Elden Ring, for which the Nintendo Switch 2 should receive its own version. However, the developers now explain that it will take a bit longer to wait for that.

What kind of game is this? With “Elden Ring Tarnished Edition,” the developers of the popular game wanted to release their own version for the Nintendo Switch 2. This version was supposed to include not only the base game and the large expansion “Shadow of the Erdtree” but also additional content such as new armors, weapons, and a new customization option for the mount.

While the additional content was to be released for existing platforms as well, all players now have to wait longer than planned.

Here you can watch the trailer for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree:

New console and still problems

What have the developers announced? The developers of Elden Ring have announced that the “Tarnished Edition” of their game will no longer be released in 2025. They are postponing the release of the game for the time being.

As a reason, they clearly cite performance issues on the new Nintendo Switch 2. Although the developers do not directly state that the console has too poor performance, the fact that the 3-year-old Elden Ring from 2022 runs on PC, PS5, Xbox, and the Steam Deck points to the console as a problem.

When is the game now supposed to be released? The developers themselves don’t know for sure. They explain in their post on FromSoftware.jp that they are postponing the title for an indefinite period, but simultaneously mention 2026 as a guideline. However, it is unknown whether the game will be released in January or December.

The developers of the game want to address the fans at a later date with a new release date, once they know when it will be.

WoW: Midnight has leaked the release date – Calendar reveals when it might start

Cortyn 23. October 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

We know when the next expansion of World of Warcraft launches. The “leak” comes directly from Blizzard through the Alpha test.

It has become a good, old tradition that the release date of a new World of Warcraft expansion is known before Blizzard officially announces it. This seems to be true again for the next addon Midnight, as new information from the Alpha reveals: It is likely starting in early March.

Start video

Autoplay

What kind of leak is this? Dataminers have discovered a new event in the latest version of the Alpha for Midnight in the calendar. The event does not have a name yet, but it has a remarkable duration – namely a full 6 weeks. In-game events usually last this long only when they are particularly large events, such as pre-events for a new expansion.

The new event starts on January 27, 2026, and according to the information from the calendar, it runs until March 9, 2026.

WoW: Midnight Release – Is it starting on March 10, 2026?

When would the release be? Should the leak prove to be true, Midnight would launch on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, as usual at midnight German time.

For all pre-order customers who have secured the 3-day early access, it would then start a bit earlier, namely already on Friday, March 7, 2026.

Is this 100% certain? No, it is certainly not. But considering that Blizzard has rarely changed such dates in the calendars in the past years, this is already a pretty strong indicator. Those who still need to plan their vacation for 2026 should perhaps aim for early March to be able to jump into the next expansion.

Developers of Path of Exile fulfill the next player wish, impress with their plans for a previously neglected class

Cedric Holmeier 23. October 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Path of Exile have fulfilled the next player wish and are reworking a class that has received little attention in recent years.

What have the developers announced? Just before the big livestream on October 23 at 9:00 PM on Twitch, the developers announced another innovation for the upcoming season “Keepers of the Flame”. This involves a rework of an Ascendancy class in the game.

The Ascendancy classes are advanced classes in the game that further develop and refine the character’s orientation. Now the developers have announced they are reworking the Assassin class of the Shadow class.

This is what the last season looked like:

Select a MMO video…

New version generates anticipation

What have the developers changed? Comparing the rework with the values of the currently existing Ascendancy class in the game, it is noticeable that adjustments have been made to the poison values as well as the additional bonuses.

Especially the new ability that all attacks can cause poison opens up many new possibilities for players to utilize the Ascendancy class.

This pleases many fans who have already developed dozens of ideas on Reddit to bring the new class into play in the upcoming season. They have long hoped for an update to the class and reaffirmed this demand again on Reddit.

What are the players planning? The players already have some ideas on how to implement the new options in the game. For instance, Reddit user MasterSargeYT wrote:

All damage can poison! Ruthless is here!

Prepare to cast Septic Spells on clusters when you want to poison with spells, as Assassin has lost 40% of the chance to poison with Noxious Strike.

Adder’s Touch makes it possible again!

Reddit user Hydiz is already looking forward to playing a Poison-Spark build in the new season. The new buff that all attacks can poison will likely benefit him.

Other users are already speculating which items will be particularly valuable and thus lucrative for farming in the new season. The changes might entice many players to try out the reworked class.

Twitch streamer explains why he wouldn’t talk to 95% of streamers in retirement

Johanna 23. October 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Ludwig Ahgren is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch and YouTube in the international scene. He made it clear how he would approach his fellow streamers after his career: he would not talk to most of them anymore.

Why would Ludwig Ahgren no longer talk to his colleagues? Ludwig Ahgren talked in a past livestream about when and why he would not interact with his fellow streamers. He referred to them as “streamer friends” who are not “his guys.” While he is really friends with some streamers, he is not with most of them.

He further stated: “When I retire, I will never talk to 95% of the streamers I collaborate with again. (…) That’s a fact. That’s just the reality of life. (…) It’s just true. They wouldn’t go to my funeral and I wouldn’t go to theirs. We would never talk again.” (Source: twitch.tv from 00:23:09).

This is the same experience that his viewers would have at their work when they retire or change jobs.

Ludwig treats streaming like a job

What does the community say about it? A clip from the livestream was also posted on Reddit, where comments on the topic are exchanged. User jaking2017 stated (Source: Reddit): “I think Ludwig is just one of the better streamers who treats the whole thing like a job. I’m a bartender and I don’t intend to act like the best friend of my regulars just because they come into my bar all the time. I can imagine that streamers think similarly.”

Another user referenced a previous statement by Ludwig (Source: Reddit): “Lud[wig] has transitioned from ‘I’m not your friend’ to ‘I’m not the friend of your parasocial best friend’.”

In 2020, Ludwig published the video ‘I Am Not Your Friend’ (translated: “I am not your friend”) on his YouTube channel, in which he talked about how viewers should not glorify him and think they know him. He is not their friend; he does not even know his viewers personally, and it should not slide into a parasocial direction.

Something similar seems to be conveyed by Ludwig with his current statement: Not everything is as it seems on Twitch for viewers. Just because Twitch streamers behave like friends during the stream does not mean that it is so in real life.

The streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel also mentioned in a stream that, now that he is a successful streamer, he can finally stop pretending to want to be friends with other streamers.

Why does Ludwig Ahgren talk about this? In recent weeks, there have been several accusations against Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. As reported by GameStar, suspicions in the community have arisen that the Twitch streamer does not treat his dog Kaya – and also dogs in general in the past – well.

There is an accusation that Hasan Piker used a collar to inflict electric shocks on his dog. This sparked a general discussion about the person Hasan Piker.

Since Ludwig Ahgren, along with his partner Blaire “QTCinderella”, is in a closer circle of streamer colleagues of Hasan Piker, he was approached by the community on this topic.

Ludwig remained vague and pointed out that he would not share all (political) views with Hasan. He (as Ludwig) is not a socialist; after all, he is a businessman and thus makes money.

Is it worth entering Guild Wars 2 with Visions of Eternity? What newcomers should know about the new expansion

Alexander Mehrwald 23. October 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Getting started as a newbie in MMORPGs isn’t always easy. However, with Visions of Eternity, there is a great opportunity for those who have been indecisive so far in Guild Wars 2.

An overarching storyline, increasingly complex systems, and an almost mandatory endgame that players want to reach quickly to stay involved often prevent players from making the leap into an established MMORPG, even if they are actually interested.

However, Guild Wars 2 does a lot of things differently in this regard, and especially the new expansion offers an attractive entry point for those who have been hesitating so far. On October 28, 2025, the sixth expansion for the MMORPG Guild Wars 2 will be released, titled “Visions of Eternity,” bringing numerous new features, a new story, new regions, and new elite specializations for all classes.

This offers players a variety of content that can be overwhelming for newcomers and makes it difficult to jump into the gameplay. Nevertheless, Guild Wars 2 makes it easier for you to get started with Visions of Eternity than you might think – and there are several good reasons for that.

Who is writing here? MeinMMO editor Alex has been exploring the lands of Tyria regularly since “Heart of Thorns” and knows every corner like the back of his hand. Primarily playing as a Druid and Ranger, he is particularly drawn to the story surrounding the Commander. However, he does not shy away from Fractals or the bustling meta-events.

Why it’s worth starting with Visions of Eternity

Why should newcomers take a look right now? If you value the story and like to immerse yourself in the events of MMORPGs, this is the perfect opportunity to play new content without having to play all the previous 5 expansions to understand the story.

In Visions of Eternity, you embark on a standalone journey that takes place independently of a larger storyline. While a new overarching plot called the Cryptis Saga began with Secrets of the Obscure and Janthir Wilds after the great Dragon Saga, the developers claim that the storyline in Visions of Eternity will only play a very minor role, meaning no prior knowledge of the story is required. Many things will become clear from context or simply won’t matter for the narrative.

However, even if the story doesn’t matter to you and gameplay is what truly makes you happy, Visions of Eternity offers some good reasons to stop by and give it a chance.

And aside from the story? Especially the new elite specializations are not only in high demand by fans but also adhere to the motto: “Easy to learn, hard to master.” You can tackle any of the new specializations that appeal to you and gradually delve deeper into them over time without having to do so from the start.

If you are uncertain about which of the new elite specializations is right for you, the developers recommend the Summoner, as it is the least complex candidate in comparison. Alternatively, the Ritualist or the Tempest would also be suitable for a gentler entry.

Additionally, there are supposed to be changes to gear crafting that will cater to players with less time and streamline the experience. Thus, you will soon be able to craft certain legendary items just once and unlock all variants at the same time. For the first time ever, elite armors can also be unlocked through achievements.

The housing also offers some exciting new features for those of you who find that particularly important. With Visions of Eternity, you can design your layouts more freely and even share them with friends or the community.

Overall, Guild Wars 2 presents several factors that make it easier for newcomers to find their way in the MMORPG. For example, there is no “classic” endgame or typical leveling system, and the modularity that allows you to freely choose the content you play without needing to own all expansions offers many accessible benefits.

Perhaps these reasons will motivate you to take the leap and give Guild Wars 2 a chance starting October 28, 2025.

Pokémon GO: Fatalitee has a secret – Here’s how to find out what form you have

Max Handwerk 23. October 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO you can currently catch Fatalitee. The Ghost Pokémon has a special feature.

Things are getting spooky in Pokémon GO: Currently, the first part of the Halloween event is running, which not only brought the Pokémon Mortcha and Fatalitcha into the game, but also focuses on the already available Pokémon Fatalitee.

Fatalitee is now available to catch as a shiny Pokémon for the first time – and in the wild too. You don’t necessarily have to challenge Fatalitee in raids. However, it is rarer in the wild. Perhaps use the Pokédex alarm to make it easier to find.

Speaking of rare: Fatalitee also has a special feature you should definitely check: It has two forms that are hardly distinguishable.

Fatalitee as a Duplicate Form and Original Form – How to Tell the Difference?

What is the difference? In terms of values, combat power, and other aspects, the Duplicate Form and Original Form of Fatalitee do not differ at all. The biggest difference is a stamp on the underside of Fatalitee that certifies it as an original. Also, evolving the original costs much more candy.

The problem: The Duplicate Form is significantly more common than the Original Form. The Original is extremely rare.

How do I tell the difference? Not during the catch, because Fatalitee obviously does not show the stamp just like that. Instead, you need to have the Pokémon evaluated by your team leaders after catching it. During the evaluation, Candela, Blanche, or Spark will inform you whether it is an original or a fake.

You should check every Fatalitee you catch right after. Otherwise, you might end up sending one of the super rare original forms to the professor and never see it again. But: Be prepared to hear the phrase “To me, it looks like a Fatalitee (Duplicate Form)” very often.

Also, don’t be fooled by the silhouette in the Pokémon radar: As of now, Fatalitee is also shown as an unknown silhouette when it is the Duplicate Form – even if you already have it. This is no indication that an original is present.

A very good game on Steam has 100 endings, a player has seen them all and says after 200 hours whether it is worth it

Cedric Holmeier 23. October 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

A player has spent 200 hours in The Hundred Line – Last Defense Academy on Steam and now reveals whether the game and its 100 endings are worth it.

What kind of game is this? The Hundred Line – Last Defense Academy is a mix of visual novel and strategy role-playing game, which stands out primarily due to its 100 different ‘unique’ endings. On Steam the game has a rating of 88% positive reviews, categorized as “very positive”.

The players are supposed to replay the sci-fi story and keep experiencing new endings, which gives the game a high replay value.

In the game itself, you take on the role of a student named Takumi Sumino, who lives a normal life until one day terrible monsters attack his school. Along with 14 other students, he is selected for a special defense unit and tasked with protecting the school for the next 100 days.

Whether the story lives up to its promises and whether the 100 endings are really good, a player now reveals in a review.

Here you can watch the trailer for the game:

200 hours and 100 endings

How does the player rate the title after 200 hours of gameplay? On Reddit, user PalpitationTop611 posted a lengthy review of the game. In it, he explains his experiences with the title and what he liked and disliked. However, he first clarifies that he not only completed The Hundred Line – Last Defense Academy but experienced all endings within 200 hours.

He positively notes the story in his review. Despite some inconsistencies in the endings, it’s well-crafted and covers a whole spectrum of different genres like sci-fi, comedy, or horror, depending on the ending. The villains are also well-made and add coherence to the game.

He finds the gameplay entertaining and particularly emphasizes the mechanic that allows sacrificing your own units to quickly defeat bosses. He also enjoys the music and the characters in the game.

What does he criticize? What the player dislikes is the concept of the 100 days during which the students are to defend the school. It seems unnecessary to him because there is much downtime in between where you just explore without really experiencing anything. Overall, he dislikes the exploration mini-game.

According to him, the replay value is diminished because you experience the same battles on almost every route on the same day. Even when consciously aiming for a different ending, many of the battles from other endings simply repeat.

Does it deliver on the promise of the endings? The player has mixed feelings about the 100 endings. Some of them are really good, while many feel unnecessary and without added value. They also seem inconsistent at times, as if yesterday’s decisions mean nothing today.

He indicates that, as a rough estimate, 20 endings were fantastic, he found 50 endings acceptable or good, and he disliked 30. Overall, however, he had a lot of fun with the game, even though some paths did not pay off.
