The times of overpowered tanks are over in World of Warcraft Legion Remix. Powerful buffs make playing DPS or healers worthwhile.
In WoW Legion Remix, phase 2 has begun – this means new content, but also new rewards. Along with this comes a series of major hotfixes and adjustments that tweak the balance. The uncontested reign of tanks is likely over – at least in “Mythic+” dungeons. New buffs make everyone else stronger, while tanks only receive a kind of “consolation prize.”

WoW Legion Remix: This insane time travel works
What was the problem? In the first two weeks of WoW Legion Remix, there was a significant imbalance in roles. Essentially, for every character, the best decision – whenever possible – was to choose a tank specialization. As a tank, one had the greatest success in all content. Enemies in the heroic world were hardly a problem, and even in raids or high-level “Mythic+” dungeons, tank was simply the best choice.
Tanks could hardly die, dealt extremely high damage, and did not even need a healer. They were simply superior to all other specializations: Everyone just played tanks.
Buffs for DPS and healers, tanks receive a weak smile
What has Blizzard changed? A few days ago, the developers introduced buffs for DPS characters and healers. All properties of artifact weapons are 20% stronger when used by healers or DPS characters. However, today (22.10.2025), there were additional changes that are active in all “Mythic+” dungeons. For the three specializations, the following applies during the dungeons:
Tanks: Tanks receive 10% more healing from other player characters.
DPS: DPS characters deal 10% more damage, have 100% more health, and take 33% less damage.
Healers: Healers deal 10% more damage, 10% more healing and absorption, and take 33% less damage.
What are the consequences of these changes? With the changes, it is now significantly more likely that a more balanced group will be formed that does not consist solely of tanks. While a tank is still useful, because in dungeons beyond level “+40” one still often encounters “one-hits,” the times are likely over when only tanks were venturing out.
Legion Remix still runs for almost 3 whole months, but the player base is already eagerly looking forward to the next event. And even if it may sound pointless at first, the fans have a favorite they wish for: Shadowlands Remix.

On the larger streaming platforms, One Piece is currently only available with German subtitles. However, a German dubbing is expected to come to Netflix soon – and it is quite special.
What kind of dubbing is this? As ninotakutv reveals exclusively on his YouTube channel, the anime of One Piece will soon be released on Netflix with a completely new dubbing. Not only that, the episodes are also supposed to be released in a better resolution than HD.
The content creator claims to have been involved in the new version himself. How and in what role, he wants to reveal at another time.
There are no new voices for the re-dubbing, at least not for the Straw Hat Pirates. The regular voice actors known from the original version are back on board – for example, you will hear Daniel Schlauch again as Monkey D. Luffy.
Please note: In the first episodes, Philipp Brammer was the voice of Zoro. Unfortunately, he passed away in an accident in the mountains in July 2014. Since then, Uwe Thomsen has taken over Zoro’s voice.
For the other characters, however, there may be a new voice heard from time to time. After all, the series has been dubbed in German for over 20 years, and during this time it happens that voice actors are no longer available.

One Piece is set to be completely new on German
What makes the new dubbing different? Besides the new voice actors, mistakes in the original dubbing are supposed to be “ironed out”, pronunciations changed and some terms replaced. Furthermore, it is a requirement from Japan that it stays more true to the original – which is why there will be renamings of characters.
Which terms and renamings are involved is not clear from the video. It only mentions places and characters.
Where and when can I watch the episodes? It starts on November 15, 2025, on Netflix. Then the first 16 episodes are supposed to be available as HD remasters. More episodes will be released over time. The goal is to completely re-dub the anime.

The Twitch streamer NoWay is facing a tough challenge on the Chinese server in League of Legends. In this game, he also encountered one of the best players in the world who is currently playing at the Worlds 2025.
At the same time as his project, the World Championship, or Worlds 2025, is currently taking place in China. Thus, it could also happen that he encounters professionals in solo ranked who are preparing for their matches. He has already met his first.

Former German LoL Pro is Now One of the Most Successful Twitch Streamers – This is NoWay
NoWay’s first Worlds player in ranked is a Korean ADC
Who did NoWay encounter? In a recent video on his YouTube channel Noway4u, a compilation of a stream was uploaded showing a match where he plays alongside the Korean ADC Ruler.
Ruler, whose real name is Park Jae-hyuk, is a 26-year-old South Korean who has been a professional in LoL since 2016. He currently plays for the team Gen.G, which has qualified for the Worlds alongside Hanwha Life, KT Rolster, and T1.
Currently, Gen.G is still in the Swiss Stage and needs one more win to reach the Knockout Stage. Tomorrow, on October 23, 2025, they will play against the Chinese team Top Esports at 1 PM.
In NoWay’s match, he was the ADC of NoWay’s solo queue team playing the champion Lucian.
How does NoWay react? In the video, NoWay reacts like a fan who just meets his idol. When he realizes it’s Ruler, he is excited and celebrates every move of the pro, but also says: I have to concentrate. When he takes down the opposing ADC, he just screams: Ruler, witness me, I killed him!
His joy of playing with Ruler he compares to soccer: It’s like if you went out now and you saw a Messi or something, you know? […] But you would be on the street and could kick the ball back and forth with him.
During the match, he also wonders if there are more Worlds players in the match, the level is high. It is certainly possible. Thanks to the Worlds, many players are currently in China and would also use the solo queue ranked for training and warming up.
Just under a week before the release of Visions of Eternity for Guild Wars 2, a new trailer amazes fans. Some of them even compare it to one of the most beautiful games on Steam.
What is Visions of Eternity? Visions of Eternity is the sixth expansion for the MMORPG Guild Wars 2, following Janthir Wilds. Before the release, there is another first look at a new area of the expansion:
The “Shipwreck Strand” is a rugged beach area featuring clear waters, bright sandy beaches, and lush vegetation
Additionally, one can find impressive rock formations here as well as, as the name suggests, one or two shipwrecks
Here you can get an impression of the new area:

Fans are excited about the new map
How do fans find the new area? In the comments on the trailer on YouTube, players express mainly one thing, namely admiration:
michram states: “The map design team surely delivers as usual as well as the composers.”
PatrickMacielCampos raves: “The map is beautiful. I really liked the day-night cycle, the caves, the sky. Congratulations on your excellent work, everyone. I’m looking forward to the expansion’s launch.”
YouTube user PzTnT even compares the new area to one of the most beautiful games on Steam. He writes: “This is definitely giving me ori and the will of the wisps vibes with the music and environment shown.” alexwatts1356 agrees: “Oooooh what a great connection. Completely agree.”
What game is the trailer being compared to here? Ori and the Will of the Wisps is the sequel to Ori and the Blind Forest and, like its predecessor, impresses with a stunningly beautiful backdrop and strong art style. Regarding the graphics, “it’s like someone animated a work of art,” states the user Kultleaderin in her Steam review of the game.
The press also praised Ori and the Will of the Wisps for its beautiful graphics. In the GamePro review, it was stated upon release that it is “one of the most beautiful 2D games we have seen so far.”
Whether the rest of the expansion can keep up remains to be seen. Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity will be released on October 28, 2025.
The interaction in Dungeons & Dragons is not always easy. But when a single player plays by their own rules, it becomes particularly complicated, as a user on Reddit demonstrates.
What situation does the user describe? As Reddit user StickyLoner4404 explains in her thread, her group is struggling with a problem. One of their fellow players is playing by their own rules and twisting the game to suit themselves, giving them advantages.
She notes that the player is using the 2024 rule set, while the group is otherwise using the 2014 rules. While this is annoying, it is not the core problem. Additionally, the player would indirectly declare their character a god.
He always has the necessary spell slots available, always sufficient hit points, and enough gold for any situation. His supply of healing potions, too, would magically never run out. If he rolls poorly, he simply rolls again if the game master isn’t paying close enough attention.
If confronted, he would respond with things like “I get it, but it’s just too funny” or “It’s just how it is that I always have _____ at hand, I can’t stop now” or even a classic that many might recognize (often more as a joke) “oh, that wasn’t the real roll, it was a practice roll.”
In this way, he not only grants his character god-like powers but also ruins the enjoyment of the game for his fellow players, as they consider it unfair. The group consists of 5, and it is divided—2 find the behavior inappropriate, 2 others don’t care much, and the game master is caught in between.
For this reason, the user reaches out to the community, as she doesn’t know how to resolve the situation without being a killjoy. And the community has a clear opinion on this.

The trailer for Critical Role’s The Mighty Nein on Amazon Prime shows the first conflicts that the “heroes” have to struggle with
Shared fun in the game is the top priority
What does the community say about his problem? Many users in the comments can empathize with his problem and see the behavior of the fellow player as cheating. They would also feel unfairly treated and wish for a game with clear rules, as there is a rule set for that.
User ProdiasKaj points out in his comment what the main problem is here: It seems there are two camps in the group, who either need to come together or go their separate ways if everyone wants to have fun. Therefore, it’s important that the game master serves as a mediator when in doubt and encourages the group to find a compromise.
Ignoring rules leads, just like in his case, to an imbalance between the players, and the game master would have extreme difficulty leading the game fairly and making decisions. While there are situations where rules can be adjusted or omitted, these are very specific and require considerable sensitivity.
They advise the user to sit down with the group and discuss whether the players’ expectations for the sessions really align or what reason the player has for cheating so much. If the situation is not resolved in the long run, it could lead to the campaign ending or players dropping out because they are no longer having fun. The aim is to ensure that everyone gets a turn and can experience their enjoyment in the game.
Other users directly advise her to leave the table, as she seems to have already brought it up multiple times. Others suggest that the player should be asked to leave the group for not adhering to the rules. Some also propose to reciprocate and see if the concerned player still finds it funny to bend the rules if everyone does it.
However, the majority of the community advocates for working together to find a solution, as there was also an initial reason why the group came together, as it is now.
In the strategy game Victoria 3 on Steam, the developers shared some statistics about the game on the occasion of the anniversary, and they make the players look bad.
What are these statistics? Victoria 3 has been on the market for 3 years now, and the developers shared some statistics about the game on Reddit on the occasion of the anniversary. Notably, the statistics about starvation deaths in the game are striking.
While players mainly consider the economic side of their nation in Victoria 3, they also need to ensure enough food. Many players struggle with this, as the developers state that around 860 billion people have died of hunger in the game. That’s about 107 million times the entire world population.
At first glance, one might think this is a mistake, but a look at the players makes the large number very real.
Here you can watch the trailer for the game:
Start video
Victoria 3 in the release trailer
“I have no idea what I’m doing”
What do the players say about the high number? Players are hardly surprised that humanity has often suffered from hunger in the game. The systems in the strategy game are complex, which means that many have no idea how to get out of the famine.
Oxu90: “I’m doing my part. I have no idea what I’m doing.”
cpt_justice: “Paradox games will always be Paradox games.”
Milk_Mindless: “Could you please not do that? I live here.”
lesser_panjandrum: “You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Also, there are no eggs left due to the famine.”
The developer and publisher Paradox are known for complex strategy games, where one often has to find their way through many sessions. The fact that one’s population suffers from hunger is probably a side effect of that.
What else do the developers say? The developers of Victoria 3 have shared additional statistics. For instance, the Trans-Siberian Railway, which runs from Moscow to Vladivostok, has been constructed nearly 270,000 times in the game.
However, most players choose China or Japan as the nations they want to lead to prosperity. One possible reason for the famines could also be droughts. According to the developers, there have been droughts at least over 39 million times in the game.
While other MMOs require players to battle through as many dungeons as possible, Palia forces its community to the stove. If they cook quickly and sufficiently, they can harvest autumn rewards.
What is Palia up to? In line with autumn, a “Festival of Harvest, Flavor, and Friendship,” as Palia describes the season on its website, the cozy MMO sends its players to work – or rather, to the stove. The game, regarded as a “Cozy MMO,” wants its players to toil.
With a week-long community event, Palia challenges players to produce at least 25 million jars of jam within a week. Starting from October 21 at 10:00 AM Pacific Time (7:00 PM German time), players must cook diligently to achieve the set goal by October 28 at the same time – because then there will be nice rewards.

Rewards that “reflect the spirit of the season” await
Which products count as “jams”? Even though the title of the community event is “Jam-boree” (Jam = jam in English), other items from the game also count towards the goal of 25 million jars. It’s not just about jams; it’s literally about “canned goods” …
Items therefore include:
Apple Jam
Blueberry Jam
Pak Choi Kimchi
Canned Beans
Canned Pumpkin
Napa Cabbage Kimchi
Pickled Carrots
Pickled Corn
Pickled Onions
Pickled Potatoes
Pickled Hot Peppers
Pickled Tomatoes
Palia emphasizes that no player has to worry about how to produce 25 million jars of jam and the like in just one week. This is a task for the entire community, to which every player contributes with their own efforts, no matter how much or how little they produce.
The team behind Palia will provide updates on Discord and Social Media throughout the week when the player community reaches a milestone, to illustrate how close they are to the goal.
What rewards can players expect? Even before they have reached 25 million jars, the community already expects some rewards – once at 5 million, again at 15 million, and finally at the 25 million items produced.
Rewards during the community event (Source: Palia)
Additionally, the community will have the opportunity to vote on how a new in-game plush toy will look once the final goal is reached. It will be a jam-themed plush toy, for which the community can then vote on its visual flavor.
Even if this community event sounds like an absolute grind fest, Palia is a rather “cozier” MMO compared to other MMOs, which focuses more on gardening, fishing, and building your own house rather than raids, dungeons, and PvP. Even MeinMMO video producer Anna, who usually leans towards competitive titles, gave Palia a chance and was delighted: A competitive player ventures into a cute cozy MMO that captivates her for over 100 hours

If you really want all Mega Evolutions in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you have to play the ranking mode. MyMMO editor Nikolas Hernes did not find it too difficult, especially since a certain Pokémon dominated completely.
Why do you need to play the ranking? Pokémon Legends: Z-A focuses entirely on Mega Evolutions. Most can be unlocked or acquired in the game. The 3 evolutions of the Kalos starters (Greninja, Chesnaught, Delphox) also received a Mega Form. However, you can only get that through the ranking mode.
Currently, you can unlock the Mega Stone for Greninja until November 5, 2025, if you reach rank K. It sounds harder than it is, especially if you have Excadrill as an Elite Pokémon and with the Mega Stone.
2 Mega Pokémon are only available in the DLC:
Start video
In the trailer for the DLC for Pokémon Z-A, Raichu appears twice
Achieve the Mega Stone and more in just one evening
What makes Excadrill so good? First of all, it is not complicated to rank up, and you don’t need any great preparation. If you play the ranking mode on the side, you can also reach rank K. However, I relied fully on Excadrill to make it happen as quickly as possible.
The ranking mode is a bit unusual. You do not play against a single trainer. 4 trainers fight each other simultaneously in a small area. Whoever takes down the most Pokémon by the end of the time wins. For various actions and placements, you earn ranking points that help you level up. To obtain the Mega Stone, you need to go from rank Z to rank K.
I fully relied on Excadrill, the mole-type Pokémon with Ground and Steel types. Mine is an Elite Pokémon, so it has slightly better stats and a special move, in my case Focus Blast. You can catch one yourself in Wild Area 14. Just watch out for the red eyes.
Additionally, I also focused on the Mega Evolution. You can obtain Excadrill’s Mega Stone at the Quasar Corporation for 360 Mega Shards.
In the ranking mode, you can take 3 Pokémon with you, but to achieve rank K, I only relied on Excadrill and 2 of its moves. I even reached rank C in just 2-3 hours.
How does a match with Excadrill play out? First, you start in one of the 4 corners of an arena with the other 3 players. If you already have a type advantage, you can also try to take down an opposing Pokémon before Mega Evolution. If your Excadrill gets in trouble, just switch to another Pokémon. This allows you to even evade moves. Your goal should be to charge the Mega Energy to transform your Excadrill.
My moveset for Excadrill consisted of the following moves:
Drill Run
Earthquake
Rock Slide (for Flying Pokémon, since Ground moves do not hit)
Focus Blast/Swords Dance (I hardly ever used both)
My tactic was to start with Drill Run since the move initiates quickly and you are also close to the opponent. If the opposing Pokémon is still alive afterward, I used Earthquake. This strategy is especially effective when 2-3 opponents are clustered in one spot. Both attacks can hit multiple opponents, and with a bit of luck, you can score 2-3 points simultaneously.
I used Rock Slide in emergencies if the opponent had a Charizard, Gyarados, or Dragonite. I have seen these 3 in my matches frequently.
As a backup, I also took a Flambirex with Mega Stone and a Pixie with Mega Stone. However, I used them quite rarely unless I had trouble with Grass or Dragon-type Pokémon. Even when you are at a type disadvantage in some matches, I could collect over 200 points with Excadrill in a few rounds and reach rank C in one evening.
Since you only need rank K for the Mega Stone of Greninja, it should take you 30 minutes to a maximum of 1.5 hours. It’s really only about speed. In no bad round did I ever lose points.
If you want to play efficiently, play really nasty
How can you play even more efficiently? With the new battle system and point distribution in the mode, you do not need to deal the highest damage; it is enough to take down a Pokémon. So, it’s worth attacking weakened Pokémon.
At the same time, running away could be worthwhile before you have enough Mega Energy. These are both nasty tactics that aren’t particularly fun, but the system rewards such tactics with points. Don’t worry: charging aggressively can also pay off. You only get a short time penalty for a defeated Pokémon until you respawn.
Which other Pokémon might be worth it? I myself have not tried all of the following Pokémon, but I have seen them more often:
The developer of Love, Ghostie was finally able to release her game, which originally appeared on Steam, on the Switch as well. However, the title is rated 18+ here, due to a crucial checkbox being checked on a form.
What kind of game is this? In Love, Ghostie, you play as a ghost who matches the residents of a villa. As Cupid, we don’t shoot arrows, but arrange dates and give gifts. Over time, romances develop between the residents.
In a playthrough that is supposed to last around 3-6 hours, up to 6 couples can be matched. To see all the content, around 11 playthroughs are necessary.
On Steam, the title has been available since August 2024. It has also received a very positive rating with 90% recommendations (from 450 users), and recently the game even reached 97% with 14 reviews submitted.
On October 1, 2025, the release for Switch and Switch 2 took place. However, the title, which is available on Steam for ages 12 and up, suddenly becomes an adult game.

Love, Ghostie: Launch trailer for the dating simulation suitable for children
Sweet cozy game becomes an intimate dating simulator
Why is it rated 18+? As the lead developer explains on TikTok, her game was suddenly rated 18+ in Australia. To be released digitally on Switch, she had to fill out a form from the IARC (International Age Rating Coalition), through which the title receives an age rating in each country.
In this form, developers must indicate whether their title contains adult content, including violence, alcohol, or drugs. According to the developer, one of these points was dating, which she had to check off due to the premise of the game. She also had to tick a box regarding whether dating is a major part of the game.
As a result, the game was automatically rated “18+” in Australia. Behind the form is an AI and not a real person, as the developer explains.
The “most intimate” thing in the game is holding hands and cuddling between the cute little creatures. The relationships in Love, Ghostie are more on the emotional and not on the physical level.
Many parents agree with her, as even in the reviews on Steam, they write that it is a child-friendly dating simulation.
What does the developer think about it? The developer believes that there’s not much that can be done about it. She jokes with friends and acquaintances that her game is rated 18+ for emotional dating.
She appeals once again to all players in Australia at the end of the video that her game really is child-friendly.

Darth Vader and the Emperor are two very powerful characters from the movies of Star Wars. However, in third place is one who is significantly less known. And this is despite the fact that he leads a powerful criminal organization.
Who is it about? The mention is of Xizor. He is one of the most powerful men in the galaxy, yet he does not appear in any movie or series of Star Wars. Hardcore fans may know him from the Shadows of the Empire series, which includes comics, novels, games, and audiobooks.
The story of Xizor is quite exciting because the character has worked his whole life to increase his own power while maintaining the favor of the right people.
He was born about 100 years before the Battle of Yavin, the great battle at the end of Episode 4. Xizor belonged to the reptilian Falleen species. He hails from a wealthy, respected royal house called Sizhran.
As its prince, he lived in luxury on Coruscant, the former seat of the Republic and later the center of the Empire. While Xizor made many friends in the high society there and created allies through his charismatic presence, he began to take on entrepreneurial activities.
His company was called “Xizor Transport Systems” and was meant to maintain the appearance that the prince was an ambitious yet honest businessman. In truth, he had already become part of the criminal syndicate “Black Sun” during the Clone Wars.
Xizor wanted to rise to the rank of “Vigo,” or head, within it. He even succeeded through various actions. However, a tragedy then disrupted the prince’s life and led to a conflict with Darth Vader.

Revenge as a Motive, but No One Should Know
What does Vader have to do with it? The fearsome Sith had set up a research lab right on Falleen, Xizor’s home planet. There, biological weapons were being researched illegally. Unfortunately, an accident occurred, and parts of the city where the lab was located were infested with bacteria.
Vader decided to bombard the city, resulting in many Falleen deaths, including Xizor’s family. The prince himself was safe but was now determined to take revenge on Vader. However, it was important to him that no one knew of his thirst for revenge. Thus, he manipulated the relevant data that identified Vader as the puppeteer behind the bombardment. Henceforth, there was no personal connection between the two.
How did Xizor proceed? The prince had two goals: he wanted to eliminate Vader and take his place next to the Emperor. But not to rule together with Palpatine, rather to bring down the Empire from within.
To do this, Xizor gradually gained the Emperor’s favor and sought to displace Vader. He also used the “Black Sun,” of which he was now the head. Vader suspected that the prince was playing a double game, but could not prove it.
Xizor eventually learned about Luke Skywalker and that there was a connection between the young Jedi and Vader. Thereafter, the prince wanted to find and kill Luke to tarnish Vader’s reputation in front of the Emperor.
Did the plan work? Xizor encountered Princess Leia and Chewbacca, who were currently searching for Han Solo – more specifically, Han Solo frozen in carbonite, as we are after the end of Episode 5. Xizor wanted to take them hostage to lure Luke. Initially, he seduced Leia using special pheromones that Falleen can emit. However, this was not fully successful because other heroes like Lando Calrissian attacked the prince’s palace and interrupted him.
Xizor had no choice but to flee. He flew away in his ship Virago but was intercepted by Darth Vader. The Sith presented the prince with a choice: Surrender or die.
Since Xizor was a proud character, he did not yield. This led to his death and sparked a long power struggle within the “Black Sun.” Unfortunately, this story has never been adapted into a film. It would indeed be an exciting one. Did you already know it? Another villain would have liked to return to the cinema: The actor of Kylo Ren wanted his own film, but for Disney, the ending of Star Wars 9 was a problem

The creators of 7 vs. Wild revealed in their “Behind The Scenes” series how the suspension went and it all went anything but according to plan.
What problems were there? Besides the main series of 7 vs. Wild, there is also the “Behind The Scenes” format on YouTube, where you can watch the production prepare and execute 7 vs. Wild. In the current episode, they show the suspension, which went differently than expected.
The problems started quite early. Due to the weather on the morning of the suspension, the seaplanes were unable to land in time at the agreed landing site. The candidates were supposed to be picked up there, but the first participants arrived almost simultaneously with the first plane.
But time wasn’t the only issue; during the first attempt to take off, it turned out that the candidates and a cameraman were too heavy. Accordingly, they sent the cameraman out of the plane and managed to take off at last. But then the real problems began.
Former candidate Jens “Knossi” Knossalla is also well acquainted with problems during the suspension of 7 vs. Wild:

Sinking planes and boats
What other problems were there? After the first candidates had taken off, it was about the remaining participants. They were to be transported with a second plane and the returning first plane as well. However, the second plane was taking on water and was at risk of sinking.
To get the water out of the loading hold, a so-called bilge pump was needed, but the one from the second plane was insufficient. So, candidate Joe Vogel decided to swim through the Amazon to deliver the pump from the other plane.
He managed to do so, even though he was being carried away by the very strong current. On Instagram (viewable on Reddit), he stated that his courage was motivated by not wanting the other plane to sink.
Was it then accomplished? No, the problems of the suspension continued. Before the suspension in the jungle, the candidates still had to get to the starting point by small boats. However, these boats were not in the best condition, so water leaked through the hull into the interior.
To ensure that a boat did not sink, candidate Fibii was given a plastic cup, which she was supposed to use to scoop water out of the boat during the ride. She succeeded in doing so, and the candidates finally arrived in the jungle after a long journey. Here, they had to embark on the well-known march from the first episode.
Stress for beautiful pictures
Was all of that necessary? No, probably not. As fans discuss on Reddit, the seaplanes and all the stress served to provide beautiful images for the start of the series. Although they are part of 7 vs. Wild, so the candidates had to jump from a helicopter and swim to shore in season 2, the suspension could have probably taken place with boats as well.
The new season of 7 vs. Wild continually evokes mixed feelings among fans. This time, however, there were so many events that the creators decided to start another series that most fans probably overlooked: 7 vs. Wild now has a new series, but most fans missed it

In Pokémon GO there was a small event yesterday. However, one detail left frustration in the community.
What event was it? Yesterday, as every Tuesday, there was a Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO. During the short, 60-minute event, there is a monster that appears in very high numbers in the game and can be caught by you. A bonus is also part of the event.
The Spotlight Hour yesterday featured Gastly and even had a second bonus. Yet, this bonus caused frustration in parts of the community.

Used everything, received little
What bonus are we talking about? The Spotlight Hour with Gastly had a special bonus that is quite rare in these events. You had the chance to receive energy for the Mega Evolution of Gengar when you catch Gastly.
However, the chance seems to have been very low. Some trainers from the community noted on Reddit how they used the event and how little of the coveted energy they received.

What does the community say about it? While some trainers in the post report that they cannot really complain about it, the majority of the comments say otherwise:
“I walked around for a whole hour and caught Gastly left and right. In one hour, with incense activated and while walking routes, I got a total of … 60 Mega Candies … I am disappointed! I was sure it would be worth it. I can’t even perform a Mega Evolution!”, writes SsaucySam
“I spent the entire hour with incense, Spacial Rend, and walking and only got 35 … I must have caught over 300”, comments cerealfordayz
“I already had some … and ended up with 195. Frustrating, lol”, notes Throttle_Kitty
“Caught 300. 0 Mega energy. Totally disappointed”, summarizes Tipsy_Red his findings
How do I get more Mega energy? If you haven’t yet received the 200 energy needed to trigger your first Mega Evolution, you currently still have further opportunities to collect it.
Until October 27, 2025, the first part of the Halloween event is running in Pokémon GO. There are various event field research tasks. In the task “Use 10 Power-Ups on Pokémon,” you can earn Mega energy for various monsters – including Gengar.
Additionally, you will find Mega Gengar from October 28 to November 4, 2025 in Mega Raids in Pokémon GO. If you haven’t received the necessary Mega energy by then, you will have another great opportunity to catch up.
As October slowly comes to an end, November kicks off with countless events, raids, spotlight hours, and more content. If you want to get an overview, feel free to check out our overview with all events in November 2025 in Pokémon GO.

Since NetEase has turned off the money tap, the team behind the MMORPG project Ghost has to look for new investors. The search proves to be difficult. This is visibly affecting the mood of studio chief Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street.
What is the situation with Ghost? In 2023, Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street (former lead developer at Blizzard (for World of Warcraft) and Riot Games (LoL MMORPG)) founded the new studio Fantastic Pixel Castle to develop his own MMO. The funding was to be provided by the Chinese company NetEase.
How is the search going so far? So far, apparently not fruitful. Just last week, studio chief Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street stated that they have already devised alternative plans to be more flexible in discussions with potential partners.
This includes, among other things, moving away from the actual MMO idea and developing a smaller multiplayer game that could be compared to Helldivers or Elden Ring. If this variant succeeds, they might still be able to build the MMO around it.
In a new post on linkedin.com, Ghostcrawler explained how frustrating the search is going. He even apologizes at the beginning for being a bit “salty,” meaning bitter and irritable, in the following lines. He continues:
I understand that in the video game business, almost no one is closing deals at the moment, and those that are happening are very small.
There are many reasons for this state, but one of the least forgivable is some of the massive investments in games or studios in recent years that have not succeeded. A fraction of that could have produced a lot of smaller games.
Ghostcrawler is particularly irritated by projects that have literally burned their money, “because the game vision kept changing, or the build was never stable, or playtests just weren’t fun, or there was constant turnover in the leadership.”
As a result, there is now no funding available for teams where the parameters look much better. Here is his assessment of Fantastic Pixel Castle:
A team with a proven track record
That works well together and has very high morale
Without any leadership drama
That has brought a game halfway through development
Whose vision has not deviated and whose technology is very stable
With hard data indicating that players love it and will play it
According to Street, it is very frustrating not to find a backer despite this strong starting position.
There is not much time left until the release of ARC Raiders and one of the topics that the community is concerned about is: How long will the game be supported in the future? According to the lead designer of the shooter, there are already clear statements on this.
Who spoke up? A video from design lead Virgil Watkins of Embark Studios was published on X. This recording featured an interview discussing the upcoming extraction shooter “ARC Raiders”.
The interesting part is a question that the chief designer answered in the video. It concerned what post-launch plans the fans can expect once ARC Raiders has been released. According to the developer, the studio already has rough plans since the game was developed with the idea of providing content for up to 10 years.
This already sounds very promising and could please some fans. However, such long-term plans also have their pitfalls. Many live-service games from the past that have faced problems illustrate this.

Live service is a dangerous topic in gaming
Where could there be problems? Live service is a difficult topic in gaming. While it can be great for fans to receive new content for beloved games, this approach often poses a mammoth project for developers and is associated with problems that fans often do not see.
With ARC Raiders, it is even more difficult whether Embark can adhere to this plan. The shooter is paid and will also offer microtransactions through its battle passes. This will result in fewer player numbers and thus fewer potential customers compared to a game offered for free.
Additionally, future financing and the development of potentially new content depend on the game’s popularity. If interest wanes, for example, after 3 years despite a successful release to the point where new profits can no longer be generated, the studio may consider whether it is feasible to really plan the game for 10 years.
Not only fans are involved in the success: Other problems have been revealed by one of the most well-known live-service games on the market – Destiny 2. In addition to constantly dwindling player numbers, it is also the performance of the shooter that constantly becomes its downfall.
The longer a game exists, the more difficult it becomes to manage the vast amount of content. The result: disastrous bugs and exploits could increasingly creep in as time goes on. Apart from performance, fans also require additional story-relevant content alongside battle passes to keep the enjoyment alive.
Simply having events is not enough, as these often lose their excitement and become monotonous after months or years of grinding. It remains to be seen how developers will decide in the future. Even though 10 years sounds fantastic, the endeavor does not come without its pitfalls.
The live-action series of One Piece will premiere its 2nd season next year. The island Little Garden will also be featured. Now, there is a first image of the two giants fighting on this island – but one body part is particularly in focus.
What can be seen in the new images? Netflix has published a total of 4 new images on the X account for One Piece. Among them is a poster showing the two giants Boogey and Woogey. There is also a quote from Louis Arnot, an explorer, stating that the island Little Garden truly seems like a small garden to its inhabitants.

In other images, the two giants can be seen facing each other in battle. They have actually been fighting against each other for many years, but they are friends.
In other images, Ruffy is depicted as an explorer and Lysop as a coward. This island is especially important for Lysop, as it marks the beginning of a dream to someday reach the land of giants. Thanks to the manga, we also know whether he will ever fulfill his dream.
However, although the giants take up a large part of the poster, fans are only focused on a small detail – Ruffy’s rear.

What bothers fans about the image? On Reddit, the new images have garnered a total of 5,400 likes. However, a comment received approximately 1,200 likes, where the commenter had to double-check if Ruffy was even wearing pants.
And indeed: If you take a closer look, it appears that Ruffy has forgotten an important piece of clothing, especially in the mini-view. The pants have an unflattering skin tone, which can quickly lead to confusion.
Following that, there are numerous comments that aren’t entirely family-friendly. Additionally, there are users who thought they were the only ones who hadn’t noticed Ruffy’s pants.
In the original, Ruffy actually wears blue pants. However, the creators of the Netflix series sometimes incorporate Easter eggs and outfits that come from the manga or special sketches by creator Eiichiro Oda. Unfortunately, we could not find out where the shown outfit originates from during our research.
In the 2nd season, the Straw Hat crew will not only venture to Little Garden but also to many other islands. They even gain a new member for their crew.

If you miss John Wick and the action of the series, fortunately, there are many alternatives. MeinMMO editor Nikolas Hernes has a special movie recommendation that you can currently watch on Amazon Prime Video.
What movie is it about? If you’re looking for action like in John Wick, there are many movies to choose from. A pretty good alternative premiered in 2024 with Monkey Man, which you can now watch with your Amazon Prime Video subscription.
Monkey Man offers many elements that I love about John Wick, but mixes them with aspects of Hindu mythology.
You can watch the trailer for Monkey Man here:

A Dirty Film with Brutal Action
What makes Monkey Man so good? The most important point is true in Monkey Man, and that is the action. It is brutal, bloody at times, and above all, creative. The many fight sequences work with various weapons, locations, and also opponent configurations.
Dev Patel, who also directs the film, makes a good impression as the lead actor. You may know him best from Slumdog Millionaire. His motivation is as familiar as it is effective. He wants to find the murderers of his mother and those responsible for taking everything from him.
He honed his fighting skills in illegal fights, through which he earns his money. Accordingly, he fights less perfectly than a John Wick. The fights are not only bloody; they are also particularly dirty. This gives the fights in the film a slightly different look and will especially please fans of The Raid.
In addition to the main character’s fights, there is also his plan, which is often thwarted. This creates a certain spontaneity that often leads to fights. It is also very pleasant that the film, despite the dark themes, incorporates situational comedy that lightens the whole thing up.
Another aspect that gives Monkey Man a certain independence is the Hindu mythology.
What mythological elements are in the film? In the film, the main character wears a monkey mask in many fights. This is based on the Hindu deity Hanuman. The deity is half human and half monkey and comes from the epic Ramayana (Source: Smithsonian magazine).
In the film, the connection to Hanuman is only symbolic. While mythological imagery is played with, the fights are all kept realistic. In an interview with Jimmy Fallon (via YouTube), Dev Patel compares Hanuman to Superman. He says:
He stands for nobility, strength, and courage. He is very similar to Superman when he splits his chest and flies with the iconography. And for me, he was also a hero who lost faith in himself. At some point, he lost his courage and had to be reminded of who he was.
This is also a nice change from John Wick, as Dev Patel fights not only for his revenge but also for the oppressed. However, one should not expect a superhero movie despite the description. Monkey Man is a tough fight movie that impresses mainly through its choreography.
If you have a subscription to Amazon Prime Video, you can watch the film on the platform. Fans of good action and John Wick should definitely check it out, as Monkey Man was an action highlight in 2024. You can find more action movies here: 5 Action movies rated 18 for hardcore film fans

An unregistered Mercedes 500 SL from 1982 has been unearthed in nearly new condition in the United Kingdom. The mileage is just 68 kilometers.
How did this find happen? The Mercedes 500 SL R107 barely left the factory before it ended up in a garage in Staffordshire. Under a perfectly fitting cover, it rested there in a heated and dehumidified room for 42 years, until it has now finally seen the light of day.
Its owner, a man named Mr. Hough, purchased the car on November 30, 1983, for £24,400 … which today is approximately €87,000. Why he never registered the car and left it hidden in the garage with just 68 kilometers on the odometer remains unclear.
The Mercedes was unearthed by Sam Bailey, the founder of “The SL Shop”, which specializes in Mercedes in general and this model in particular.

Why is this find so special? Due to the exceptional storage conditions, the car is in pristine condition. The paint still shines in Blue Green Metallic, as if it had just come off the production line. Signs of oxidation? None!
The factory sticker is still present. The engine and exhaust are covered with Waxoyl protective wax. It rides on its original Michelin XWX tires. Inside, the leather and wood trim shine. In addition to leather upholstery and metallic paint, optional equipment includes air conditioning, seat heating, and ABS.
What happens now with the car? Sam Bailey explains that the car will definitely not be offered for sale. It is to be displayed in a specially designed, climate-controlled, and publicly accessible space to serve as a reference for future restorations.
Battlefield 6 captivates millions of players. Many enjoy the shooter, but if you play a lot of Battlefield, you will encounter situations that drive you up the wall. You all know them.
What are those situations? In Battlefield 6 there are typical Battlefield moments that make fans’ hearts race. However, not all of these moments are fun, and not every emotion is joyful. Every Battlefield player experiences certain situations that make them angry. And the 10 situations we list here are surely hated by each one of you.

A tinkerer buys a used gaming PC on the Facebook Marketplace with a surprise inside. Hidden under the hood is a mysterious Nvidia graphics card that was never officially released. Now the community is puzzling over what this rare find could mean.
How did the purchase come about? The Reddit user RunRepulsive9867 writes that he acquired a used PC on the Facebook Marketplace for $500. The hardware inside is causing quite a stir among experts.
Inside was a graphics card that has never officially existed: a rare Nvidia prototype. He writes that he snagged the system at a low price to upgrade or resell.
While dismantling the components, the graphics card immediately caught his eye: visually, it resembles a Founders Edition model with a silver design and two fans. Notably, it is labeled “GeForce GTX” instead of “RTX”. This detail suggests it could be an early development model.

Community speculates: Is it a secret Titan variant?
What does the community think? On Reddit, users speculate that it could be a remnant from the time before Nvidia transitioned from “GTX” to “RTX”.
Others suspect it might be an unpublished Titan variant intended for internal testing. For example, SomeRandoFromInterne on Reddit writes: “The card looks like a Titan RTX, but only with half the video memory, extremely interesting.”
RunRepulsive9867 (via Reddit) responds to the post: “I thought they might have used the Titan RTX cover for the 2080 TI FE. It’s interchangeable, but then it would explicitly say ‘Titan RTX’ or at least ‘2080 Ti’ on the bottom. A really strange find.”
What’s inside the graphics card? A look at GPU-Z (via Reddit) confirms the suspicion that this is something special. Instead of the usual 11 GB of video memory, the tool shows 12 GB of VRAM, combined with a 384-bit memory bus and a higher bandwidth of around 672 GB/s. Values that even exceed the production version of the RTX 2080 Ti.

According to the analysis, this is likely an Engineering Sample, an early test version that Nvidia used internally for development or benchmarks. Why this card ended up in a used PC remains a mystery.
Normally, such prototypes are never sold to end customers and are destroyed after the testing phase. The fact that one of these models is available on the open market is extremely rare and makes the find particularly exciting for collectors.
Insights into Nvidia’s development phase are extremely rare and show how many variants a manufacturer tests before a graphics card actually goes into production.
Is the card suitable for long-term use? Whether the card actually performs stably in everyday use is unclear. Prototypes are often more sensitive, do not receive official drivers, and are not meant for long-term use. Nevertheless, the $500 purchase was undoubtedly worth it for the tinkerer, solely due to the rarity and collector’s value of the card.
