On Steam, Fellowship is soon to be a co-op game that can partially replace MMORPGs. However, the developers are now announcing a postponement because a shooter is stealing the spotlight.
What kind of game is this? Fellowship describes itself as a Multiplayer Online Dungeon Adventure, or short MODA. The concept of the game is simply explained: In co-op mode, you play dungeons like those from MMORPGs at variable difficulty levels. No open world, no yellow question and exclamation marks, and no leveling phase are necessary. Instead, anyone can start the game and enter the dungeon.
Although there is no leveling phase needed, there is still grinding in the game. The dungeons can be repeated in increasingly difficult tiers to earn better loot. With each new difficulty level, new mechanics are introduced to make the dungeon even more challenging. The bosses only unleash their full potential after a few playthroughs.
Here you can watch the trailer for Fellowship:

The elephant in the room
Why is the MMORPG being postponed? While all interested players can try the MODA for free on September 18, the developers have now postponed the actual release. In their announcement on playfellowship.com, the developers talked about the elephant in the room. They explained:
To address the obvious – we want to give Fellowship the time to unfold: During the week we originally planned to launch Early Access, there are major game releases happening. […]
This likely refers to Battlefield 6, which is set to launch on October 10, one day after the planned release date for Fellowship. Although the shooter has little thematic connection to the co-op dungeon game, the release is so significant that Fellowship may get overshadowed. Therefore, Fellowship will now launch on October 16, instead of the initially planned October 9, 2025.
What about the free trial? According to the developers, all players will continue to have the opportunity to try the MODA for free between September 18 and 23. To participate in the open beta, a click on the Fellowship Steam page is enough to request access to the beta. The request for the open beta will be accepted as soon as possible.
With 2 healers, 2 tanks, and 3 DPS, a total of 7 characters are available. The new hero “Mara” will also be playable in the open beta. Since the last beta in spring 2025, the developers have mainly worked on the progression systems in the game, so players can expect new loot and grinding mechanics.
Nintendo has registered a patent in the USA that secures their rights to an important gameplay mechanic. However, many games not developed by Nintendo also utilize it – not just Palworld.
The latter, however, attracts far less attention, as No. 12.403.397 revolves around summoning and controlling additional game characters for games that run on consoles and similar devices: Here, it is about Nintendo securing the way a character invokes or summons a second one. This second character can fight and be used by the first character in case of a battle.
This mechanic, in its basic form, applies not only to Nintendo’s Pokémon series or Palworld but also to several other games.

A patent to conquer them all – Or not?
Which games use such mechanics? The basic mechanic of summoning a capable second character and sending it into battle is not new. It is even included in its basic form in many games, like Palworld. Here are a few examples:
Final Fantasy XIV
The chocobo of the character can be summoned for battles in the overworld and sent after enemies.
ARK: Survival Evolved
In the game, creatures can be tamed and used in combat.
Dragon’s Dogma 2
Here, henchmen can be hired, who respond to commands.
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Here, familiars are trained that can fight for you in battle.
Diablo & Path of Exile
Pet builds like necromancers, witch doctors, or summoners also summon creatures that can then fight for them.
Baldur’s Gate 3
With spells, allies, elementals, or creatures from other dimensions can be summoned. Dog Scratch is also summoned very specifically with a ball.
Magic The Gathering: Arena
Here, monsters are summoned to defend your life points.
But: Patents cannot be applied retroactively to games that have already been released. Therefore, Nintendo cannot go to Blizzard and prohibit them from using the necromancer. Or try to eradicate Scratch from Baldur’s Gate 3.
However, this is different for games that are currently still in development. For example, Aniimo could be affected, as well as Palworld. Or any other game that utilizes classes with pet builds or companions. And at present, there will be quite a few titles in development.
Where is the catch? In fact, the patent cannot be applied retroactively and is incredibly specific. It specifically mentions two modes:
Action 1 is summoning. Either the second character is summoned directly onto an enemy to initiate a battle (Mode 1) or it runs alongside Character One. The latter scenario can lead to Mode 2, in which Character 1 or the player sends Character 2 after an enemy to initiate a battle.
In Palworld, this applies only partially: Currently, a Pal cannot be directly summoned onto an enemy to stage a battle. Thus, Mode 1 does not apply. Depending on whether both modes or just one need to be possible, this could pose a problem for the Palworld developers.
In Destiny: Rising there are currently 13 Guardians that you can draw with some luck. Which one is among the best and should you play? In our tier list you will find the answer.
Update, October 16: The list has been checked and updated. Two Guardians (Umeko & Estela) have received a new ranking.
How is our tier list structured? In our tier list, we show you the rankings of all available Guardians that you can collect in Destiny: Rising. Currently, only 13 characters are in circulation, but the longer time passes in the shooter, the more will follow.
The tier list is based on our own experiences and observations, but also on extensive research.
We provide you with two tables in our overview with the respective rankings for PvE and PvP, as well as a detailed description of the S-ranks (the best characters in the game). This way, you will know why they are worth more compared to alternatives.

Tier List for PvE
Tan-2
What makes Tan-2 so good in PvE? Tan-2 is the only 5-star supporter and through his kits you can quickly switch between DPS and support. This makes him versatile. As for his weapons, you either use a scout or sniper rifle and benefit from relaxed and stress-free long-range combat.
Gwynn
What makes Gwynn so good in PvE? Gwynn is one of the best Guardians when it comes to controlling large groups of enemies thanks to her Void abilities. She is extremely survivable through Soul Assault because she can restore her health. Her weapon setup of dual pistols and shotgun benefits especially aggressive players who like to dive into the fray.
Jolder
What makes Jolder so good in PvE? Jolder is one of the best tanks in the game and can effectively survive without support due to her Rage Stacks. With her Ursa Major, she can also control and defend objectives without breaking a sweat. In a team with Tan-2, she can, when used correctly, appear almost unbeatable.
Umeko
What makes Umeko so good in PvE? Umeko has the ability not only to deal damage but also to debuff enemies. Her low cooldowns allow her to do this effectively, but her true strength can only be unleashed when you master her timings. She is a powerful Guardian but difficult to master.
Estela
What makes Estela so good in PvE? Estela shines with her ultimate because she can summon beings that can attack and distract enemies. This makes her particularly suitable for those who prefer a safe playstyle, as direct confrontation with enemies is not necessary.
Next up are the best Guardians for PvP on page 2.

Important note: To distinguish confirmed dates from unconfirmed ones, the official dates are highlighted in bold, while unconfirmed dates are italicized.

As soon as dates are confirmed, changes occur, or other dates are added, we will update the calendar accordingly.
Important date highlights in detail
Release of the Web App/ Companion App
Why is the Web/Companion App important? The Web App is the first access point to your Ultimate Team in FC 26. Here you can create your new club, set a preferred nation for your first professionals, and choose emblems and kits.
In the past, only players who owned a club in the predecessor had access to the Web App in FC 26. We expect the same this year.
Other important aspects of the Web App are:
Claim welcome packs
Monitor and scout the transfer market
Complete SBCs
Set up your starter squad’s lineup and tactics
With the Companion App, you can usually download the official companion app for EA FC 26 one day later. The Companion App provides you with a version better tailored to your mobile device, allowing you to manage your club easily on the go.
Early Access via Ultimate Edition/ EA Play
Why is Early Access important? Once Early Access is available for pre-orders of the Ultimate Edition or for subscribers of EA Play, you can really get started. All modes are fully available to you.
You can use the early access to familiarize yourself with the gameplay or to start making progress in Ultimate Team and earning rewards. This gives you an edge over players who only join a week or later.
Why is the official release important? This date is the starting point for the majority of players. The game will not only be available in digital form to pre-orders of the Standard Edition, but will also be released as a physical disc in stores.
Players with early access will notice that from this day on, many more players are online in all online modes. Specifically for Ultimate Team, this means that the transfer market will be in full swing because far more players will be opening packs, offering their drawn professionals on the market, and wanting to buy other professionals themselves.
Experience shows that the games in competitive modes become somewhat easier, especially for players with early access, as newcomers need time to adjust to the new gameplay changes.
Why are the 1st rewards important? Players with early access should play as much as they can to quickly rise in ranks and divisions. Packs, especially good packs, are not easy to come by at the start.
2 days after early access, the first Squad Battles rewards are likely to be released. Matches against the CPU can be used to get into the game. As a reward, you can typically expect the first rewards on Sunday at 10:00, with which you will receive better players and more coins.
You can use these to upgrade your team. Then you have until Thursday to measure yourself against real opponents in Division Rivals. On Thursday morning, you can expect your Rivals rewards to strengthen your team further.
This way, ideally, you already have a good starter team before many players start building their teams at the official release.
Team of the Week (TOTW)
Why are the first Team of the Weeks important? As inconsequential as the TOTW cards may become over time in Ultimate Team, they are crucial at the start. Even before the first real events, the TOTWs with their upgrades are among the only special cards you can get and are therefore highly sought after.
Each TOTW matters in the beginning. Either they strengthen your team, or you can use them for a strong Squad Building Challenge (SBC) or even sell them profitably.
Building up a small stock of TOTW could prove beneficial for the further course of Ultimate Team in FC 26.
This concludes our overview of the most important dates. We will regularly update the article with the latest information. So feel free to visit us often to not miss any highlights. For a few days, you can still secure rewards in FC 25 for the successor: Pre-Season in EA FC 25: How to quickly earn rewards for FC 26

Finding the right balance is often not easy for Dungeon Masters in Dungeons & Dragons. A Dungeon Master explains why it is important for players to also be able to “win.”
What is the concern of the Dungeon Master? Reddit user 3-Possums-in-a-Coat reaches out to the community with his post on Reddit. He wants to demonstrate through his example that it is not only perfectly okay for players to sometimes “outsmart” the Dungeon Master, but it is also an aspect that should be aimed for.
He starts off by saying: “My players want to feel like ‘they caught me’ … and that’s fine with me.” From his perspective, this is precisely what is important and a point that makes Dungeons & Dragons special.
As an example, he mentions a situation where he had planned a room containing treasure. The group sent their barbarian ahead to secure the loot and act as a buffer for any potential traps. As intended, once the barbarian picked up the treasure, several skeletons sprang to life. The bard reacted and crushed the foes with a single spell, causing the barbarian to take no damage with his saving throw.
How did the players react to their solution? The players were excited about the cool solution and the relatively easy loot. “I bet you didn’t expect it to be that easy, DM,” one of the players reportedly said. But he probably did, as he had set up the encounter specifically so that the characters could have a shining moment. However, he didn’t tell them that and let them keep their belief and triumph.
It was not about challenging them or luring the players into a trap, but rather about giving them the opportunity for a cool moment that conveys that sense of superiority. And it is okay if the players think they have outsmarted their Dungeon Master – because such moments make Dungeons & Dragons so special.
Simple challenges like this are great because they provide characters with these opportunities and simply serve the fun of the game. According to the Reddit user, as a Dungeon Master, it is mainly about ensuring that everyone has a great time, and not about “playing against” the players.

“Players trying to break the game are as old as the game itself”
What is the community’s opinion on this? Many users in the comments can empathize with his feeling and would approach their games similarly.
It is important to know your own group and to realize that Dungeon Masters and players are not fighting against each other, and it is not about one side winning. Both sides must also be aware that they are playing together and jointly influencing whether everyone has a good time, even though the Dungeon Master ultimately has the final say.
Apart from Dungeon Masters who abuse their power and thus like to play “against” the players, there are just as many players who try to throw the DM off course and “break” the session. Both perspectives are seen as more than harmful by the community.
In the comments on Reddit, they share their experiences and offer tips on how to deal with this issue:
[deleted] states: “Players trying to break the game are as old as the game itself. It is up to you as the DM to decide what is acceptable at your table and what is not.”
720eastbay shares: “My DM likes to end the session by asking what we want to do at the fork where we stopped, so that we have a mission set and then he has that and whatever else he wants to throw at us.”
SecretDMAccount_Shh: “As long as the players are not trying to derail the game on purpose, I have no problem with the players celebrating if it happens unexpectedly, because it means the players have exceeded expectations.”
Archwizard_Drake emphasizes: “It is not necessarily about derailing the campaign. It is just about players feeling clever when they can outsmart the DM, or powerful when the DM’s plans fail so easily.”
The art is primarily to maintain a balance and to get to know both players and Dungeon Masters well. The better this is achieved, the easier it will be for both sides to engage with each other and create a good gaming experience that everyone enjoys participating in.
Riot Games, the studio behind League of Legends, is launching a closed beta for a new game. However, even though it takes place in the same universe and brings back some popular characters, it is getting little attention. According to early players, it is really fun.
Gameplay-wise, it is a fighting game. You compete in 2v2 battles, similar to the “Marvel vs. Capcom” series. Many well-known characters from League of Legends are included, such as Vi and Blitzcrank. The latter just got a new trailer a few days ago.
You can watch this trailer here:

Little attention, but still really good
Hardly anyone has the game on their radar: Despite a strong IP behind it, most trailers on the official YouTube channel for 2XKO do not reach 500,000 views. The gameplay sneak peek for Jinx with 1.2 million views is a rare exception. Riot Games did not heavily promote the launch of the closed beta on September 9.
How is it being received by players? According to early testers, the fighting game is already a lot of fun. This is evident on Reddit, where there is a dedicated subreddit for the game at r/2XKO.
“Ok, real talk, this state of the game is AWESOME,” writes Wise-Ad-9619 in a Reddit post. “Game feels like honey on my lips, all have purpurse, all just feels right. […] I have fun searching stuff, combos, setups by myself for the first time in like a decade.”
Even constructive criticism usually starts with sentences like “I’m having a ton of fun tryharding the game and also playing with friends in 2v2” (Reddit) or “First and foremost, this game slaps.” (Reddit)
“Play League characters without playing League”
Other players are just happy to play with the characters from League of Legends without having to touch the MOBA. This is celebrated by this Reddit post.

Borderlands 4 is here and has recently become available for players on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series – or at least in theory. The community is frustrated with the current performance of the game, but they’re taking it with a smile.
As of now (September 12, 2025, 10:15), the game has only a “mixed” rating with 9,276 reviews (60% of the reviews are positive). Players are also sharing various pieces of evidence for their frustration on Reddit.
Player shakamaboom shares a screenshot from the game (via Reddit), through which he cannot understand how an open scene with a bit of grass, rocks, and water can be so heavy for the graphics processor. The answer with the most upvotes reads: “It renders every blade of grass at 8K” (via Reddit).
Player Muted_Wrangler_ shows in a clip on Reddit how the “birds” in the game fly rather stiffly through the air or lack animations. “I’ve seen NPCs and characters in T-Pose, but never birds,” he adds in a comment (via Reddit).
Of course, when there’s a bad atmosphere within the community, people tend to look for mistakes explicitly and very closely, but a large part of the player base takes it with a smile. And that is due to the head of the development studio, who already expressed his opinion on the performance of Borderlands 4 even before the release.
Here is the launch trailer for Borderlands 4, which you can play since September 11, 2025:

“The Jokes Write Themselves”
Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox and head of Borderlands 4, stated even before the game’s release on X.com that players whose computers are below the minimum requirements should not expect to be able to play Borderlands 4 at all:
It’s a big, bold, new, seamless world, and I regret to say that older hardware may not deliver buttery smooth performance for the latest AAA games, as has always been the case since the beginnings of PC gaming.
Even the “Day 1 Patch” is supposed to bring optimizations, but it won’t be a miracle cure for systems below the minimum requirements. For that, he asks for understanding. While Pitchford’s statement is a correct statement regarding the minimum requirements of the game, it does not make the community any more positive.
Why are players frustrated? A meme that was posted in the Steam subreddit summarizes the general mood regarding the weak performance at the release of Borderlands 4 well. “The jokes write themselves,” writes Moth_LovesLamp in response to Pitchford’s statement regarding the criticism the game receives on Steam. As the initial reactions of players show, the problem, according to fans, does not lie in the minimum requirements, but in the optimization of the game.
The community views the current state of the game and feels schadenfreude, in light of Pitchford’s previously made statements.
“At some point, Randy Pitchford will hire a manager to keep him away from things like cameras and microphones,” writes Callinon mockingly (via Reddit).
Borderlands 4 is not even 24 hours old and is already under criticism. However, apart from the weak performance at launch, other aspects of the game are actually being well received. MeinMMO editor Dariusz Müller has already tested the game before release and is quite positive despite the performance: Borderlands 4 reminds me of Destiny in the test, making it a fantastic loot shooter

Cyberpunk 2077 is not just a dystopian world full of nasty corporations and street kids; there are also numerous companions who can become friends – or even more. You can flirt as much as you want, but that exact thing drives one player to frustration, as his efforts prove futile.
This is what romances in Cyberpunk 2077 are about:
In Cyberpunk 2077 there are four companions: Kerry, River, Panam, and Judy, whom you can meet throughout the story. However, they all have specific preferences when it comes to their partners.
The main character V can be either male or female, but for each gender, there is exactly one partner of each gender to choose from, making every combination unique.
In the end, you have one heterosexual and one homosexual relationship option to choose from. That does not mean you can’t try with the others…
What is the player complaining about? On Reddit, a player complains that he has the option to flirt with Panam when playing as a female V. However, Panam, the tough go-getter from the Wastelands, like the musician Kerry Eurodyne, is only interested in men.
Nevertheless, there are dialogue options that are clearly intended for romances. You can flirt and even try to touch her during Panam’s quest. As a woman, you will receive a clear rejection here. The player complains:
Why is this even in the game? Do I have to be reminded of all the rejections I’ve had in real life and now can’t even hit on someone in the game? Rejection is fine when there was a possibility of romance that was messed up, but to include something like this just to twist the knife in the wound is diabolical. […]
I knew that Panam was not an option for a female V, but I got to this point and honestly thought they had changed something in the last patch so female Vs could romance Panam.
Now he has to play again as a man just to be able to be with an NPC: “Do better, CDPR, lol.” In the comments, many users share the same experience with NPC rejections but also remind that this is all quite realistic.
Start video
Cyberpunk 2077: The Ultimate Edition trailer shows a ‘City of Dreams’
“CDPR just does what makes the world feel more real”
Users explain that it is completely normal and realistic to get turned down – especially in the case of a woman interested in another woman: “Women constantly get rejected by other women. I was initially disappointed that [Panam] isn’t bisexual, but I appreciate the immersion of this revelation.”
Finding out whether someone is truly romantically interested or just friendly is part of it and is the case in real life as well. Panam and River as heterosexual options may flirt to some extent with same-sex Vs, but not more than that:
I’ve seen many lesbians responding to such threads emphasizing how realistic it is to include a mechanic like Is she a lesbian or just friendly? – scrotbofula on Reddit
By the way, the specific scene with Panam isn’t even the beginning of the romance. Even men would first get a rejection here.
Many agree that while it can be frustrating not to get your ‘favorite partner’, it is precisely because of this that the NPCs have their depth. People have preferences, and this is beautifully reflected in Cyberpunk 2077 and its companions.
However, one comment helps out: Even without a mod, you can make any companion available for any gender of V through a small editor change. Panam even has recorded voice lines for a female.
If you never have Wyll in Baldur’s Gate 3, you’re missing a little detail related to a devil.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is known for the developers thinking of nearly everything possible. Whether it’s about the effects of items, talents or features – nearly everything is taken into account. However, these details even extend to rather unusual places, such as the level-up screen. There’s a permanent reminder for a character that terror is never far away.
Baldur’s Gate 3 got its final patch a while ago:

What is this detail? When characters in Baldur’s Gate 3 reach a new level, gain abilities or learn talents, it’s usually a joyful moment. Not so for Wyll. The warlock is accompanied every time he wants to complete a level-up by an eerie laughter. As soon as you finish the level-up, you can hear Mizora’s devilish laughter in the background.
You can see how it sounds in this video – even though the video mistakenly claims it’s only heard during class changes. It occurs with every level-up:

Why is Mizora laughing? Why Mizora laughs at Wyll every time he levels up is probably open to personal interpretation. Perhaps it’s just a regular reminder that Wyll sold his soul to a devil – or Mizora is simply in a terrible good mood because Wyll is plunging deeper into the pact with new powers, from which there will never be an escape.
Why is Wyll so unpopular? The fact that many people don’t know this little detail is mainly due to Wyll often being neglected and often having no place in the group. Wyll is perceived as quite boring by the community, which might also be due to him being integrated and revised relatively late in the development of the game. Compared to all the other companions, he simply seems “boring” to many, and thus they never get to enjoy Mizora’s lovely laughter.
In Throne and Liberty, the developers open the global servers for players from Asia. However, the new players also bring their own problems.
What kind of server opening is this? Starting September 18, 2025, Amazon Games will open its global game servers to players from the so-called Region 1 (via throneandliberty.online). This affects players from Russia, South Korea, and other countries in Asia who have been able to play on the proprietary NCSoft version since December 2023.
This allows players from these regions to start directly without any detours on the global servers for the first time. The new Hyperboost servers provide a good starting option for other players as well, since taking characters from the other game version is not possible. Nevertheless, the new players bring their own problems.
The last major expansion of Throne and Liberty can be seen here:
Start video
Throne and Liberty: Trailer shows regions of the Wilderness of Talandre expansion
A new momentum or an end for Europeans
What problems are there? Throne and Liberty is a PvP-oriented MMORPG. Players organize themselves into guilds and alliances and fight almost hourly for various bosses in the game. Guild sieges are also events that many players log in for.
With the opening of the global servers for players from the East, entire guilds from the other game versions might join, trying to make a fresh start on the global servers. They could exploit the low player numbers in Europe (via SteamDB) and mix up the PvP on the servers with their large number, but also with their greater gaming experience.
This could either lead to a new dynamic that revitalizes the game, or to the dominance of a certain region on a server, pushing away other players from the MMORPG. The Pay2Win aspect in Throne and Liberty also plays into their hands.
What advantage do players from Asia have? On Steam, there are cheaper prices for players from countries with lower incomes. This adjusted pricing strategy aims to ensure that even people in poorer countries can play video games without saving for months. Even we in Germany do not have the highest prices for games. For example, the new Borderlands 4 costs about 4 euros more when bought in Switzerland (via SteamDB).
This advantage favors players from Asia in Throne and Liberty. Not only can they quickly catch up on the Hyperboost servers, even when they reach the normal level, they can look forward to cheaper currency. This way, they can acquire the auction house currency for less real money, which can also strengthen their character in Throne and Liberty.
The Twitch streamer Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris participated in the retirement tour a few days ago and apparently had extra demands.This is what Maximilian Schradin tells his Twitch colleague Jens “Knossi” Knossalla in a stream.
The Twitch streamer MontanaBlack is otherwise rarely seen on a tour or in another format where he is away from home for an extended period. For the retirement tour organized by his Twitch colleague Maximilian Schradin, MontanaBlack set off on a journey through Poland along with other Twitch streamers.
With retirement mobiles, they covered some kilometers and regularly stayed in hotels. During one overnight stay, MontanaBlack had some extra demands that he made on his overnight partner Sascha “unsympathischTV” Hellinger. At least that is what Maximilian Schradin told his Twitch colleague Knossi in a livestream.

MontanaBlack rearranges the room
How is MontanaBlack supposed to have behaved? Maximilian Schradin says that MontanaBlack apparently had a problem with not having a single room for himself in one of the hotels. A three-bed room was booked for him and unsympathischTV.
On the spur of the moment, MontanaBlack reportedly rearranged the room. He pushed two beds together to sleep alone in them, and he had the third bed propped up against the wall. This way, he could supposedly watch television better, Maximilian Schradin says, adding: “He took apart the entire room” (source: twitch.tv starting from 03:20:50).
Since unsympathischTV had no opportunity to sleep in the room, he had to resort to the pull-out sofa. There, he reportedly covered himself with a tablecloth, which, according to Maximilian Schradin, had a “urine stain” on it. Knossi, who is being told the story, comments sarcastically: “These star airs”.
MontanaBlack himself, or unsympathischTV, have not commented on the alleged incident yet.
Both weapons will be available as Twitch Drops between September 11 and September 30.
How powerful are the weapons? Both weapons will be at the level of your Vault Hunters when you pick them up – they will be scaled to your level. However, they will be at least level 5.
What do I need to do to receive them? The two weapons are distributed via Twitch Drops. You need to watch two hours for each weapon on certain Borderlands streams to unlock the reward. Important: The rewards are not distributed together but sequentially. So you need to watch for a total of four hours for both.
It is also important that you connect your Shift account with your Twitch account; otherwise, it won’t work. We summarize the entire process for you here.

In Destiny: Rising, fans can secure significant advantages with a lot of money through vast amounts of currencies and items, which falls under Pay2Win. The community wondered how NetEase intends to make its leaderboards fair. And the team has a clear answer.
Is there Pay2Win in Rising? Yes, there is, because Destiny: Rising relies on gacha mechanics, allowing you to purchase crates for real money. These contain currencies, guardians, weapons, or other items that can quickly make you powerful. So, anyone with a bigger wallet is also more powerful in the mobile game.
In itself, this would not be an issue in the community, as it’s up to each player how much they want to spend on a game. However, the problem connected to Pay2Win concerns the leaderboards and contest modes for various endgame content.
Anyone trying their luck as a free-to-play player to reach the top of the leaderboards would lose against the much more powerful Pay2Win players. NetEase has recognized this and therefore establishes rules specifically for these types of activities to ensure equal opportunity everywhere.

Destiny: Rising shows first gameplay in the trailer
New regulations aim to ensure fairness
What do the regulations state? In a blog post from NetEase under the section “Fair Play Mechanics,” new regulations are supposed to ensure fairness so that free-to-play players also have a chance to reach the top of the leaderboards. The following can be concluded:
Mods for weapons are disabled
Exotic weapons are limited to Catalyst Node 1
Level of your weapons is capped at level 80
Talents and companions linked with you are disabled
Only perks of your artifacts are active (levels, refinements, and attributes are disabled)
In short, this means: Everyone should have the same chances, regardless of how much they have spent in the store.
The post especially refers to raids and contest weeks, where it’s important to ensure fairness. Because anyone good enough to hold their own can reach the top of the leaderboards.
What do fans say about these changes? On X.com, the user “MossyMax” raves about the changes in endgame. He thinks it’s great that NetEase wants to clarify to players that only those who have good RNG and thus good rolls from the free-to-play segment will emerge victorious. Many fans agree with him and comment as follows:
“That is … truly impressive!” – @davidmanly
“This is also a REALLY good precedent because it means that as a F2P player, you can achieve everything the game throws at you. Because NetEase had to make this physically possible due to the race.” – @LN_RuleYOURface
“Destiny Rising is definitely doing everything right so far; I really enjoy my time with it and hope they continue this way.” – @KathielGaming
“It’s crazy how Destiny Gacha is more fun, more balanced, and more enjoyable than the actual game.” – @wo1f_sapphire
It remains to be seen how fair the actual contest mode will be, but these mentioned regulations at least create a basis for offering everyone the chance to prove themselves. You can find more about Destiny: Rising here: Destiny Rising: Best artifacts for every guardian in PvE and PvP

A player bought a PC case at an auction. But the surprise comes when he opens the case at home. Because inside is a complete PC. A company employee reported in the community, explaining: It used to cost 8,000 euros.
What did the user buy? The English-language magazine Dexerto reports that a user bought a computer at an auction. The Fractal Design Define 7 XL, a PC case, was offered here.
The mentioned player finally made a bid and won the case for 23.50 US dollars, which is equivalent to about 20 euros. The auction is still viewable directly at CapitalCityOnlineAuction (as of September 12, 2025).
However, when the user finally picked up the case from the seller, he couldn’t believe his eyes: Because inside the case was a complete PC, and the hardware is still very powerful today:
AMD Threadripper 3960X
256 GB RAM
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti
Employee reports and reveals: The computer used to sell for about 8,000 US dollars
What was the hardware supposed to cost back then? A user on Reddit, claiming to be an employee of Puget Systems, explained that the computer was supposed to cost about 8,000 US dollars back then. Converted, that’s around 7,000 euros:
Just so you know: This system was probably sold at the end of 2021/beginning of 2022 and would have cost about 8,000 dollars back then. Many of these systems had 2 to 4 NVMe drives, so you probably also have over 4 to 8 TB of fast storage!
All in all, not a bad purchase for 32 dollars*!
* Note from the editor: The user made a typo at the beginning of their Reddit thread, which is why the commentator refers to 32 instead of 23 dollars.The image in the thread shows the correct price of 23.50 dollars.
How is the price composed? Just the AMD Threadripper 3960X cost around 1,400 euros at release. The RTX 3080 Ti was sold at a MSRP of 1,089 euros, but due to hardware shortages, it was significantly less available and correspondingly much more expensive. Additionally, PC companies charge a premium for assembly, which is then included in the purchase price.
And even if the user had only gotten the Fractal Design case for 20 euros, that would have already been a bargain: Because the Fractal Design Define 7 XL is still sold for around 200 euros today (via Geizhals.de).
With the extensive skill trees in Borderlands 4, it can quickly happen that you make a mistake. We show you how to easily reset your skill points and specializations if needed.
How can you reset your skill tree in Borderlands 4? If you made the wrong choice when selecting your skills or simply want to try something different, don’t despair: You can easily reset your skill trees at fixed locations. You can also change your specializations there.
At these locations, you will find respec machines that allow you to reset your points for in-game currency. The price varies depending on how many points you have already invested, ranging from a few dollars to 1.5 million. If you want to reset your specialization, it costs 5,000 Eridium.
Where to find the respec machines, you will find out right here.
Start video
Borderlands 4: Cineastischer Launch-Trailer zelebriert den Release
All Locations for the Respec Machines
Currently, there are a total of 6 locations where you can reset your skills:
The launch pad (The Howling, The Fungi Fields)
Belton’s Drilling (The Lowrocks, Terminus Vastness)
Carcadia (Devastated Swamp, Wasteland of Carcadia)
Exclusion Zone (Carcadia District, Dominion)
The Food Court (Terminus District, Dominion)
Sumpview Falls (Fungi Fields District, Dominion)
Then just go to the marked machine there. It will show you the price for your respec. Then hold the respective button and you will enter the respec menu. Here you can choose whether you want to reset just the displayed skill tree or want all spent points back. You simply reset your specialization by holding the button down.
What else is there to consider? You can reset your skills and specializations as often as you like – as long as you have the necessary resources. You should also only leave the machine when you are really satisfied with your build, otherwise you’ll have to pay again. As long as you keep the window open, you can redistribute and experiment as you wish.
MyMMO editor Dariusz Müller tested Borderlands 4 before its release. In his solo run of the main story, he played Amon. Here he presents his build.
What kind of build is this? I played Amon as a kind of axe-throwing barbarian, using the green cybernetic skill tree. Here, Amon creates a frost and a flame axe that deal the corresponding elemental damage.
The gameplay focus of the build is therefore not on melee attacks or on intercepting projectiles with a shield. I charged into enemies and dealt as much damage as possible in a short time.
I’ve thought about the build, but I didn’t engage in any elaborate theory crafting. Thus, it’s probably not a perfect build, but one that I had a lot of fun with and managed to easily get through the story as a solo player on normal difficulty.
You can see how the picture turned out in a boss fight against Idolator Sol here in the video:

Borderlands 4: Cineastischer Launch-Trailer zelebriert den Release
Amon Brings Winter Over Kairos, But Also Heats Things Up
What distinguishes the build? Amon can use his various abilities very frequently with the build and benefits from the effects of various passive skills.
With his action skill “Crucible”, the vault hunter creates a flame axe or a frost axe that he can throw at enemies. Hit enemies are then considered “prepared” and detonate when they take damage from a forge skill or die. The detonation also damages nearby enemies.
The forge skill played is called “Double Blade”. When using the skill, Amon combines both axes into a single one, resulting in blades at both ends of the axe. This resulting axe can also be thrown by Amon. Unlike the single blades, however, the double axe returns to Amon and hits enemies on the way out and back.
Amon as an Axe-Throwing Barbarian Level 0-25
Which skills are equipped? I invested the first 15 skill points into the left side of the general skill tree. The focus was on strengthening my forge skill and my firearms.
As an improvement, I initially played “Endless War”, which allowed me to deal at least 15% increased damage with firearms to enemies that were prepared by my axes. Each prepared stack brings an additional 15% damage.
Cast Iron – 5/5
Forge skill cooldown: +25%
Firearms handling: +30%
Destruction Machine – 5/5
Forge skill damage: +25%
Detonation damage: +30%
Air Supply – 5/5
When using the forge skill, Amon temporarily gains increased firearms damage
Firearms damage: +35%
Duration: 8 seconds
During the campaign, I then switched my improvement to “Biting Cold” in the right skill tree. This skill freezes enemies when they are hit by the frost axe. This proved especially useful in fights with many enemies for crowd control. In boss fights, however, it may be wise to switch back to “Endless War”. You then throw one or more axes at the enemy and shoot at their weak points with your firearms to deal as much damage as possible in a short time.
To strengthen “Biting Cold”, I invested 5 skill points in “Permafrost”. This creates a cryo hazard that deals cryo damage whenever an enemy is frozen – every time. I complemented this with the passive skill “Reactive Armor”, which partially restores Amon’s shield and weapon cooldowns when detonating prepared enemies.
Biting Cold– 5/5
Frost axes freeze on impact
Flame axes penetrate enemies
Reactive Armor– 5/5
Shield restoration: 35%
Cooldown restoration: 30%
“Reactive Armor” rewards aggressive pushing, as the frequent use of axes regularly refills the shield. This makes it easier to survive in heated battles.
Amon’s Double Blade in Borderlands 4
The Floor is Lava – Level 25-30
After 25 levels, I finally got to choose my final skill: “Burning Inferno”.
“Burning Inferno” causes my “Double Blade” to deal burning melee damage and leaves a fire trail on the ground. Additionally, the radius of “Double Blade” is increased by 33%.
Burning Inferno
Double Blade deals burning melee damage in both directions
Radius: +33%
leaves a fire trail on the ground that deals burning damage over time
Fire trail damage: 131 per second
Fire trail duration: 5 seconds
Cooldown restoration: 10%
The next two skill points went into “Temperate Flame” and “Heated Minds”. This spawns flying axes, known as axe-forging drones, which then autonomously attack enemies and deal burning and cryo melee damage. Initially, I consciously did not increase the damage of the drones because I wanted to use them primarily as a distraction.
With the last three skill points I collected while playing through the campaign, I skilled “Fierceness”, which increases Amon’s danger and status effect damage.
More Shock and Drones – Skills from Level 30
During my story run, I found an epic forge knight class mod for Amon called “Quick Stormcaller”. With this class mod, points have already been invested in the three skills “Lead Fast”, “Bolt Effect”, and “Herald’s Call”. Therefore, I initially saved further investments in these skills, as the points already distributed by the mod were sufficient for me.
However, I noticed that this trio is a good and sensible complement to my frost and flame axes to compensate for a potential weakness against shields. This way, I can effectively deal shock damage against shields even with weapons of another element – I just need to reload briefly. In levels 30-50, I therefore want to further develop these 3 skills. Likewise, I would like to upgrade “Temperate Flame”. I want to maximize those skills.
Overall, the build has some strengths but also a clear weakness. For me, it was particularly suitable due to the skill “Biting Cold” for crowd control, allowing me to keep enemies off my back in stressful situations while also shredding many foes with Burning Inferno.
Possible problems arose in boss fights. Even with “Burning Inferno”, my “Double Blade” does not create a huge hole in the enemy’s health bar. I managed most bosses at least by the second attempt, but some fights dragged on a bit because the build lacks a skill that deals absurd damage in one hit. Instead, it’s important to keep an eye on the low cooldowns, to strategically use firearms and combat items, and to take advantage of various passive skills.
Despite the weakness, I had a lot of fun with Amon and the build, as the combination of freezing and then burning really suited my play style. If you love the elements as much as I do, this build might be worth a try for you.
Netflix is a popular streaming service where countless movies can be found. The platform itself has revealed which are the most popular and most-watched. Especially spot 1 is still quite fresh.
Keeping track of Netflix is not so easy. After all, the number of available movies is large. New ones are added every month, and others disappear from the offering. Especially Netflix’s original productions, which are permanently available, generate a lot of buzz and achieve high view counts.
Netflix itself has revealed which films are the most-watched on the platform, and also how many views they generated – in the first 91 days since release.
The following ranking is therefore based on the official figures from Netflix. For each film, we provide a brief overview and reveal how the general opinion is. In the top 10, films are gathered that all premiered in 2018 or later. Spot 1 is even very new and premiered in June 2025 on the streaming platform.

Damsel is the most watched movie on Netflix and enchants viewers with a cool dragon in the trailer
Rank 10: Damsel
Genre: Action/Adventure
Release Year: 2024
Views: 138 million
In Damsel, Netflix regular Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things) plays Princess Elodie. She is unwillingly married to a prince, but it quickly becomes clear that she is merely meant to serve as a sacrifice for a dangerous dragon. This threatens the kingdom, and soon also Elodie’s life. However, she is not the “Damsel in distress”, but rather takes her fate into her own hands.
The film offers entertaining content with a good lead actress, even though some aspects like the story or the effects are somewhat lacking. On Rotten Tomatoes, critics rate it at 57%, while users rate it almost the same at 59%. Shortly after release, Damsel already set a record.

In Dune: Awakening, many players are currently discovering the new features of the “Chapter 2” update. A particular quest line is especially annoying to the players. They hope that in the end, they can take revenge for the torment.
Which quest line is it about? In Dune: Awakening, the “Chapter 2” update has introduced two new storylines with new quests. However, the main story, which expands the game narrative, is currently frustrating the players. They state that half of the tasks are unnecessary and that it feels like the quests could have been an email.
Here you can watch the trailer for Dune: Awakening “Chapter 2”:

Back and Forth and Back Again
What bothers the players about the new quest line? While players were allowed to complete many different tasks in the first part of the main story and also had to infiltrate research stations or defeat enemies, this time players feel they have been degraded to errand boys.
In a cartoon on Reddit, players express their current mood. It feels to them as if the quest giver Elara Tuek is constantly sending them to the Hagga Basin and back to Harko Village. However, in Dune: Awakening, as seen in other quests, there are also long-range communication devices that could bridge such distances.
Players are annoyed by the tasks that bring them little enjoyment. However, they have a glimmer of hope in the comments.
What do the players say? Fans of Dune: Awakening hope to eventually punish the quest giver, who is always addressed as “Kitten” by their character. They want her to pay for turning their character into an errand boy. Players have written on Reddit:
smartponi: “I hope the story leads to us killing her in the end. The Fenrings (both) – they are just mean and powerful. Lady Jessica? A ruthless witch with her own agenda. Ariste? Just young, okay. But this woman [Elara Tuek] really gets on my nerves.”
Solus_Vael: “Thanks!!! I did the crap last night. Why can Ariste call us about things and we can contact contractors to finalize contracts, but I have to fly back and forth just to talk to this woman [Elara Tuek]…?”
LookAlderaanPlaces: “I think the overworld map could be cool if they reduced the distances. Flying from Hagga to Arrakeen takes a whole minute. Couldn’t it just be 15 seconds instead?”
ProlapseProvider: “I skipped the dialogue sections at some point. I hate the travel mini-map, it’s absolutely useless, as if there were plans for a mini-game like random encounters or something, but they were scrapped at the last minute.”

A small WoW treasure was stolen. But the Reddit community manages to reunite the owner and the stolen goods.
Many memories are often attached to a character in World of Warcraft. Some even immortalize their character in the form of a small statue. This was also the case for the player behind “Jovia”, whose character, however, ended up in a second-hand shop. A player found the figure – and even managed to locate the original owner in the end.

WoW: Spieler sammelt ALLE Erfolge im Spiel, fragt dann „Was mache ich jetzt?“
This is what happened: In the WoW subreddit, Glad-Midnight-1022 posted a picture he took in a second-hand shop. There was a Warcraft statue visible, of a character named Jovia. Since Jovia is not a known WoW character and also visually resembled a player character, it was obvious that someone had this statue made based on their own avatar.
The thread creator stated that he would now make it his “life mission” to find the original owner of the statue. The post received over 6,000 upvotes in the WoW subreddit, and many shared their ideas to help locate the original owner.

How was the owner found? In the end, the owner was located via Facebook. The statue is now back in the possession of its original owner, and a handover has taken place.
Glad-Midnight-1022 was also able to confirm that this was indeed the true owner and not someone who simply wanted the figure. The warehouse from which the figure was stolen was only a village away from the second-hand shop where the figure later appeared.
How did the figure end up in the second-hand shop? According to the original owner, the figure was stolen. It had been stored, and the entire warehouse was robbed, with the stolen goods likely pawned or sold to various second-hand shops afterward. This is often the case in thefts, where the loot is immediately converted into cash.
Community celebrates the success: The community celebrates the success, as even the new post in the subreddit has already received over 4,000 upvotes. There is much praise for the search and for reuniting the original owner with his stolen statue.
“Wow, these are the stories to live for. That was absolutely fantastic work!” – GenkGirl12
“I still remember the first post! Wow! It was stolen and then returned! Man, this community is just amazing.” – StreicherG
“That it was stolen makes this story even better. You found a lost treasure and brought it back to the owner with the help of the community. Good job, thread creator. You’re awesome.” – Guardianpigeon
Amidst all the talk about how the MMORPG community is always considered toxic and unfriendly, such stories are beautiful. They show a cooperative side, where everyone pulls together to find the owner of a precious memento. For many, WoW is more than just a game; it’s a piece of home.
