WoW: World First! Team Liquid takes the victory, this time really

Crimson Desert saves your performance by making “useless” stuff disappear – Stranding players on a deserted island

How does MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz evaluate this? A strict first-person perspective would necessarily have affected many aspects of WoW, especially the mechanics in dungeons and raids, but also some class abilities would have had to function quite differently. World of Warcraft would thus certainly have become a very different game.

Moreover, I know several long-time WoW fans in my immediate circle who avoid almost every game with a first-person perspective because they get sick while playing. Blizzard would certainly have reached a noticeably smaller target group with a WoW without third-person. And now I have to go, Uns-Jeff is currently reacting quite roughly to criticism: If you don’t want to play Jeff Kaplan’s new game, he has some kind words for you: “Shut your mouth. No one cares.”

“I am just exhausted” – Players are disturbed by the preview of the AI of DLSS 5, which is supposedly supposed to make women in games “more realistic”

Caroline Fuller 17. March 2026 Reading time 3 minutes

NVIDIA’s AI technology DLSS 5 has already caused quite a stir on social media and in forums. It is supposed to use AI for more realistic lighting conditions in games, but the examples it provided for facial enhancements received anything but enthusiasm.

What kind of AI is this? DLSS 5 is an AI model that aims to retroactively enhance the graphics of games in real-time through upscaling to make them look photorealistic. NVIDIA demonstrates how it looks with a preview that showcases DLSS 5. The tech experts from Digital Foundry also show in an initial hands-on what this technology can achieve, using the example of Grace Ashcroft from Resident Evil Requiem:

More realistic hair with improved shadows, better light reflections in the eyes, and the environment itself show that the AI enhancement can achieve impressive results. However, there is a catch that the community cannot ignore: Grace has simply received a completely new face.

More pronounced cheekbones, fuller, reddish lips, and distinct contouring, blush, and highlights: A look that some influencers would be proud of, yet it strongly resembles a TikTok filter or a generically AI-edited face of female characters.

A large part handles this with memes, as we have shared with you here on our Instagram. However, especially female gamers seem rather exhausted: “We are struggling with hardware shortages and rising energy costs, and the ‘innovation’ we get for that is an AI that simply gives female figures lip fillers and makeup?” (yummypaprika on Reddit)

Autoplay

Female gamers do not want enhanced faces, but art

What disappoints female gamers so much? In a subreddit for female gamers, user yummypaprika shares her reaction to the DLSS 5 preview, which many other female gamers can relate to:

“Does anyone else find the AI previews of DLSS 5 totally creepy? I saw this preview of Resident Evil Requiem and I’m just… exhausted?”

A lot of other female users in the subreddit can relate to yummypaprika’s resignation. There is nothing to criticize about the concept of enhanced lighting or graphic upscaling. However, Grace’s “enhanced” face, which looks more “realistic” with DLSS 5 but corresponds even more to a current beauty ideal thanks to AI, does not have fans of this technology.

“DLSS 5 disturbs me so much that I would rather throw my Nvidia card out the window,” writes SmileyKitKat. ComfortabletheSky also states: “I don’t need a filter with this weird AI face, which will likely cause all characters to look strangely similar – I want the art that the game should actually have! I’m really tired of this crap.”

What other problem do players see with DLSS 5? The AI preview makes it clear that the enhanced lighting in the game achieves such a change in the face that it reminds some players of the typical AI girlfriend from dubious ads. Not only does it highlight a specific beauty ideal, but it also overrides the actual intention of the art direction:

“It ruins the artistic design of everything it touches. I have absolutely no interest in these AI-slop filters in my games” (iDaddyDirection on Reddit).

Opinions about DLSS 5 are highly divided in the gaming and tech community. On the one hand, NVIDIA describes it as one of the “most significant breakthroughs in computer graphics since the debut of real-time ray tracing”; on the other hand, the results for faces receive less acclaim. Perhaps AI should help with house sales instead: A man sells his house, asks ChatGPT how to paint the walls: “Expectations exceeded”

Palworld 1.0 is coming in 2026, but the developers advise: It’s best to delete everything you’ve built in the last 2 years

Ody 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

Palworld is set to leave Early Access this year. With version 1.0, the developers aim to deliver the survival crafting game that everyone has been wishing for. However, those who want to experience all the new features of the full version should say goodbye to their old save file.

Who says that? This statement comes from John Buckley, Publishing Lead and Community Manager at Pocketpair, the studio behind Palworld. At the Game Developers Conference (GDC), the developer spoke with GamesRadar+ about the launch of version 1.0 of the game.

With version 1.0, Palworld is supposed to be “the survival crafting game everyone always wanted”. Every fan of the genre should find something they like and immerse themselves in the world.

Palworld will be so different that you should start over

Why should you start over? The developers currently do not want to say anything concrete about the new content, but the release is supposed to include some surprises – and it will be gigantic. For this reason, the developers recommend completely starting over at the release – even if you have built a considerable base in the last two years of Early Access.

What exactly the 1.0 update will include is still “top secret,” according to Buckley. “I think people will be shocked what we’ve been able to achieve for 1.0.,” he says. Update 1.0 is supposed to expand Palworld with new content in all areas: both in endgame and early and midgame.

“We’re not force wiping anyone,” Buckley emphasizes. So you can continue playing normally with your old save file. However, you will miss out on many new features, as according to the developer, “kind of everything is going to change from the beginning to the end.”

When will Palworld 1.0 be released? There is no exact date for the end of Early Access yet, but it is supposed to happen this year. Version 1.0 of Palworld is expected to go online in 2026.

The legal dispute between Palworld and Pokémon is still ongoing – and this is despite the fact that the game is already two years old. As if that weren’t enough, another game with striking similarities has been announced in the meantime.

Oda had doubts about the live-action adaptation of One Piece, now defends season 2 of the Netflix series

Christoph Waldboth 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

In the second season of the Netflix series One Piece, some things were designed differently than in Season 1. Eiichiro Oda himself, the author of the original manga, has now commented on it and explained how he slowly became friends with the adaptation of his story.

Anyone who has worked on their grand, broadly told story for years has the right to be skeptical about a series adaptation. This also applies in the case of Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece.

In the official companion podcast on Netflix, he spoke with Luffy actor Iñaki Godoy about the series. Among other things, they discussed how Oda initially thought about the adaptation.

In the first season, his image of Luffy was very much shaped by the manga. He insisted that the character would not do or say certain things, and shared his feedback with the team.

When he finally saw Iñaki Godoy as Luffy and got to see the finished scenes, a large part of his initial skepticism fell away. In the podcast, Oda praised Iñaki Godoy’s performance and emphasized that it became clear after Season 1 how this version of Luffy would behave.

This made it easier for Oda himself to continue working on the series. Changes in Season 2 were made very thoughtfully thereafter.

A Conscious Change

What does Oda say about the second season? The two seasons differ consciously from each other, as they want to tell different stories:

In the first season, the responsible team for the adaptation was very much focused on bringing out the human side of the story. It is not an absurd fantasy, but a story where humans are in the foreground. If we don’t highlight the fantasy elements in Season 2 more than in Season 1, Luffy would not be able to confront his future opponents.
Eiichiro Oda

Also, Iñaki Godoy is of the opinion in the podcast that Season 1 was meant to establish the setting and the characters. Seasons 2 and 3 can now become significantly more extraordinary – both in terms of the story and the characters. Two characters will even appear significantly earlier.

The pacing of the story can change and the action can take up more space when the audience already knows the world and the characters.

By the way, changes from the manga template count among some of Oda’s favorite moments in the Netflix series. In the podcast, he mentions the scene where Luffy sings with Laboon. It would be “unforgettable”.

The last scene with Chopper also greatly excited Oda. He does not want to impose his own personal preferences on the series, but rather support the team to bring its own vision to the screen.

Dance ban returns to YouTube, first takes on a toilet fragrance company

Johanna 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

YouTuber Kilian Tanzverbot Heinrich was absent from the platform YouTube for almost a year. Now he returns with a video back to his roots: making announcements against a company.

Who is Tanzverbot challenging? After being completely absent from YouTube and Twitch for almost a year, the YouTuber Tanzverbot resurfaces on one of his side channels, RANDOMVERBOT. In the video, he takes shots at the company WC FRISCH.

Tanzverbot believes that the company has been careless in the production of some examples of toilet fragrances. He elaborates on this in the roughly two-minute-long video.

One of the examples he holds up to the camera seems not to have been manufactured properly, failing in its duty as a toilet freshener, according to Tanzverbot. As a longtime customer, Tanzverbot feels compelled to address this issue, which he believes frequently occurs.

How does the community react? The comments under the YouTube video seem surprised about Tanzverbot’s return on one of his YouTube side channels, but they also express their joy:

@simonfrieling7857 writes, for example: Unexpected, but not unwelcome.
@shawnp1900 wishes for another format from Tanzverbot to return: Now just “My purchase from” and we are back to the roots haha
The YouTuber is also generally wished back on the platform, as mentioned by @thebonsch3436: Please make videos again, we want you online again!

The video aligns exactly with the category of videos that helped Tanzverbot take off on YouTube. In the early days, Tanzverbot spent time on YouTube in a bathrobe. In this outfit, he railed against everything and everyone that annoyed him in some way.

These videos always carried the title Announcement to […] and included a series of harsh insults. Although this may have initially made Tanzverbot unpopular, it nevertheless attracted attention and a community developed around him.

Afterward, Tanzverbot distanced himself from such content and began to take people along in his life by vlogging regularly. Ultimately, he made the leap to Twitch, where he livestreamed and connected with other German content creators.

Tanzverbot had not been active on Twitch, his main platform as a streamer, for a very long time. Only on TikTok could the content creator occasionally be seen in livestreams.

A setting you ignored 20 years ago on the Gameboy makes Pokémon Leaf Green much better right now

Benedikt Schlotmann 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen can be played on the Switch. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann says: Change a setting and FireRed/LeafGreen sounds much better right away.

Nintendo recently released the old classic Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen for the modern Switch. This allows you to experience the old games on modern hardware for 20 euros.

I myself have invested many hours of gameplay on my old Switch in LeafGreen and have been surprised by how much a single setting can change.

Start video

The Nintendo Switch 2 in the unboxing video

Autoplay

With stereo sound, even the 20-year-old Pokémon LeafGreen sounds much better

If you played FireRed/LeafGreen back then on the Gameboy, your sound was certainly set to mono. Even on my new Analogue Pocket, FireRed was set to mono.

The Gameboy could only play mono sound through its built-in speaker. However, stereo sound was also possible through the headphone jack, as the built-in sound chip could play sound over multiple channels. But for that, you needed headphones that had to be connected via a plug.

And honestly: Who played with headphones on their Gameboy in the schoolyard 20 years ago? Probably hardly anyone.

What does this have to do with playing it on the Switch? If you are now playing the remastered version of FireRed/LeafGreen on the more modern Switch, you essentially get the old technology just as a port for the newer console. In spot checks, I found that the sound settings are always set to mono.

My tip: Be sure to change the sound from mono to stereo and definitely play with headphones or in-ears. FireRed/LeafGreen sounds immediately worlds better, you get a much wider sound image with much more detail. Currently, I am using the Soundcore Liberty 5 (for the test) on my Switch when I play.

If you are wondering: Can it really make such a difference with a 20-year-old game?, then I can only reply: Yes, it does! With stereo, you get a much wider sound image than when you play in mono, even with an ancient Pokémon game.

This is not just a subjective feeling, but can also be proven technically: With mono, you get “only” one audio track that is played on both headphone halves. In contrast, stereo gives you two different audio tracks that allow for spatial audio effects.

Or as one user aptly describes it on Reddit: “Nice to hear that so much emphasis was placed on details in sound design.”

9 of the best role-playing games on Steam are currently available for 23 euros, but only for a short time

Benedict Grothaus 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

For little money, those who want to experience hundreds, maybe thousands of hours of gameplay on Steam can get a bundle at Humble with some of the best role-playing games ever. However, the offer is only available until March 19, 2026.

What kind of games are these? Humble has put together games from Owlcat and Beamdog, featuring classics as well as games from recent years. The bundle includes:

Pathfinder: Kingmaker – Enhanced Plus Edition, as well as the Season Pass with 3 DLCs
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, plus the two Season Passes with a total of 6 DLCs
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader (without Season Pass)
Neverwinter Nights: Complete Adventures
Baldur’s Gate: Deluxe Edition
Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition
Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition – a classic that even Henry Cavill knows
Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition
Mythforce

Overall, you will get 9 games with many DLCs for (as of the current status, March 17 at 11:20 a.m.) 23.10 euros – optional more if you want to support charitable organizations. Alternatively, you can pay less, but you will also receive fewer games. Rogue Trader, for example, is only available at the full price. The games normally cost 257.88 euros according to Humble.

Where can I find the bundle? You can find the role-playing game bundle on Humble, but you need to hurry a bit. The promotion runs until Thursday, March 19, 2026, at 2:00 a.m.

Just for Rogue Trader, the bundle is already worth it, as you would typically pay 50 euros for the game on Steam. The two Pathfinder games normally cost 20 euros each – without DLCs.

Pathfinder, Warhammer 40,000, and Baldur’s Gate – Hundreds of hours for little money

Role-playing games like those in the bundle are known for consuming a lot of time. Personally, I have already invested over 100 hours in my first playthrough of Wrath of the Righteous and have now sunk 400 hours into it. I am currently playing the game again.

Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous are based on the complex rules of Pathfinder, which means the games require some familiarization. Pathfinder is one of the competitors to Dungeons & Dragons.

Baldur’s Gate 1+2 is an absolute favorite of our tech author and role-playing veteran Benedikt Schlotmann, and he plays the game repeatedly, even always with the same class.

Especially with Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale, you have classics at hand that you might not necessarily have to have played, but whose name is known to every RPG fan. Only Mythforce doesn’t fare so well on the list with just 69% positive reviews on Steam. Players’ criticism is mostly that while the game looks good, it feels unfinished.

However, you are likely to make the best deal in the bundle with Rogue Trader. The role-playing game for Warhammer 40,000 is the latest work from the studio Owlcat and is still being updated with DLCs, such as the upcoming story expansion about a kleptomaniac space robot.

Rogue Trader is one of the best games to get into the world of Warhammer 40,000, as it requires no prior knowledge but explains the setting with understandable details. A small warning: Warhammer is really bizarre, so don’t expect a reasonable world.

Owlcat is currently already working on the next game in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Dark Heresy. The game has been in an alpha phase with limited content since December 2025, but it has already convinced me: In Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, the Emperor has imposed the hardest trial on me: to think for myself

OnlyFangs 3: Everything about the start, cast and collaboration of the next big WoW project on Twitch

Alexander Mehrwald 17. March 2026 Reading time 3 minutes

With OnlyFangs 3, the next big WoW project is starting on Twitch. Everything that is known so far can be found here.

What is OnlyFangs? OnlyFangs is a streamer-led project on Twitch that has already enjoyed great popularity with viewers in 2 seasons. So far, WoW Classic Vanilla has been played in hardcore mode. It has followed these rules:

Characters that die, die – players must then start over from scratch with a fresh character
Participants must be streamers and content creators
Progress was structured and organized as a group
There were clear goals
Exploiting loopholes or exploits was not tolerated

The organizer and streamer Sodapoppin is currently still planning for the upcoming “season” of the project, so not much is set in stone yet. However, everything that is known so far has been listed for you here.

We will continuously update the post as soon as there are news. So feel free to bookmark the page and check back in between.

Everything about the start, participants, and rules of OnlyFangs Season 3

When does Season 3 of OnlyFangs start?

No exact start date has been announced yet. However, it is clear that OnlyFangs 3 will primarily deal with the expansion The Burning Crusade, which was released on February 5, 2026, for WoW Classic. However, Sodapoppin made it clear that they will not start immediately at launch, as they do not want to waste time waiting for raids.

Who is participating?

No official list of participants is known yet. However, it is clear that Sodapoppin will again act as the organizer and “rival” LoLTyler1 will also be part of it.

Are there new rules for Season 3?

In addition to the classic hardcore rules mentioned above, there are also some additions in the works. In the previous season, viewer interaction proved to be problematic. This time, it is expected to be avoided by prohibiting playing with viewers and also restricting any community interference in the project’s gameplay. This should prevent streamers with larger audiences from gaining an unfair advantage.

Everything about the content, goals, and collaborations of OnlyFangs Season 3

What will be played?

It is expected that Season 3 will distance itself from WoW Classic Vanilla, as the streamer guild has already conducted initial tests with the Burning Crusade expansion. Additionally, the expansion offers more complex mechanics, especially in PvE, as well as exciting arenas and battlegrounds for PvP.

There are also some dungeons in TBC known for their dangerous one-shots, where characters can be wiped out in a single hit.

Are there already fixed goals and a schedule?

Not yet. It is clear that completing difficult raids will again be a focus.

However, some concepts are still being considered. The rivalry between Sodapoppin and Tyler1 has attracted attention and brought new ideas. Currently, there is consideration to start with 2 guilds in the project: one for the Alliance and one for the Horde, which will likely be led by Soda and Tyler1, respectively.

Additionally, there is consideration to form “houses” within the guilds like in Game of Thrones, to which the streamers can assign themselves and create further alliances and rivalries. A points system is being discussed, according to which the most successful house could receive exclusive rewards each week, for example, by clearing dungeons.

What about a collaboration with Sauercrowd?

After the great success of the “German counterpart to OnlyFangs” Sauercrowd, the idea of starting a collaboration is also being considered. Both OnlyFangs founder Sodapoppin and Sauercrowd founder HandOfBlood have shown interest in the idea.

This means that Sauercrowd could somehow return in Season 3 of OnlyFangs, whether by working together on goals or competing against each other. However, whether this will actually happen remains uncertain at this time.

In the past, interactions between OnlyFangs and Sauercrowd have been rather tense – a rival collaboration is therefore more than conceivable. Especially Sodapoppin has repeatedly made derogatory remarks about German players, wishing them nothing but the worst for their raid, but they taught him otherwise: Sauercrowd breezes through Molten Core, clears the raid on the first night, and over 200,000 viewers cheer on Twitch

After just 2 weeks in the new team, a European LoL legend is already planning the next move, fans hope for “the return of the ADC king”

Nico Scheibel 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

Professionals in League of Legends rarely stick with just one team – at least if they are not called Faker. Now, a European LoL legend is already planning the next transfer, even though his new team has only existed for 2 weeks.

Which LoL legend is it about? The Swedish LoL professional Rekkles started his career in 2012. For over 10 years he has played the role of ADC and achieved some successes. With several victories in the LEC, the European league, and 6 appearances at the Worlds, he became one of the best ADCs in LoL. In 2018, he achieved second place at the Worlds with his team Fnatic.

Since 2024, however, he has been playing as a support and managed to become European champion twice with the streamer team Los Ratones. Since March 4, 2026, he officially plays for Team Witchcraft, a team of Twitch streamer Nemesis. There he plays with 4 of the 5 team members from Los Ratones (lol.fandom.com).

Rekkles is already planning his future for 2026

What are his plans for this year? Although Rekkles is still part of Team Witchcraft, he is already planning for the year 2026. In March and August, the LoL pro wants to co-stream the two major international tournaments before the Worlds. The first of the two tournaments, First Stand 2026, started on March 16, 2026.

In the meantime, he will go to a bootcamp in Korea and wants to play a mix of support and ADC there. In November, the transfers after the Worlds will take place, during which many teams exchange players or hire new ones.

During this time, he wants to look for opportunities to continue working as a support, ADC, or coach. The thought of returning as an ADC particularly excites many of his fans. The bootcamp in Korea aims to prepare him as best as possible for the transfer, as he mentions in the stream excerpt (x.com).

What do fans say about his plan? His plan was also shared on Reddit and many fans are writing their opinions about it.

The Reddit user Constant-Competitive writes: “The return of the ADC king!” Also on X, a gif was posted showing the title of the third Lord of the Rings movie (The Return of the King), with the caption: “Rekkles ADC Arc”.

Other fans are also happy that Rekkles might return as an ADC in the professional scene. The Reddit user fictionallymarried believes that Rekkles is not a bad support but belongs in the role of ADC. Over 180 other players agreed with him (as of March 17, 2026, at 11:30 AM).

Rekkles’ former team Los Ratones was quite successful. In February 2026, the team of the Twitch streamer Caedrel failed in front of almost 600,000 viewers. Shortly after, it was announced that Los Ratones would disband: A Twitch streamer’s LoL team failed in front of almost 600,000 viewers, now it is disbanding.

The Epic CEO has secretly bought forests the size of Essen, uses your V-Bucks for a good cause

Claudio Niggenkemper 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

The CEO of Epic Games quietly invests millions – but not in new games or technology. Instead, he buys vast forest areas to protect them from destruction.

What has Tim Sweeney invested his money in? The CEO of Epic Games, Tim Sweeney, has reportedly bought around 20,000 acres of forest in the USA over the past few years (Times of India & PCGamer).

These areas are primarily located in North Carolina, where Sweeney himself lives.

Start video

In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?

Autoplay

The special thing is: The areas are not to be developed or economically used. The investments amount to two- to three-digit millions and have been built up over the years – largely without significant public attention.

All about protecting nature

Why is a gaming billionaire suddenly buying forests? Sweeney has a clear goal: He wants to prevent the areas from being deforested or developed.

According to reports, some of the areas have already been deliberately transferred to protection programs or handed over to organizations that will take care of their preservation in the long term. Other areas remain deliberately untouched to protect natural ecosystems (PCGamer).

The Times of India emphasizes that Sweeney aims to protect the forests specifically from so-called developers, meaning companies that would economically use or develop the land for their own purposes.

How can Tim Sweeney even afford that? Sweeney founded Epic Games in the early 1990s and built the company into one of the industry’s major players with successes like Unreal Tournament and, above all, Fortnite.

Despite his billionaire fortune, Sweeney is considered relatively reserved. According to the Times of India, his commitment to conservation began long before his financial success. As early as the 2000s, Sweeney started buying his first forest areas in North Carolina as a result of the global financial crisis.

Many of the land purchases were made through a company named “130 of Chatham.” Through this structure, Sweeney deliberately buys land and holds it for years. This gives conservation organizations or authorities time to prepare protective measures (News & Observer X).

Trio mocks friendly player in marathon, shoots him without mercy – Catches the one runner that everyone wants to survive

Dariusz Müller 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

In Marathon, friendly players have no chance and receive mocking comments. But a trio has caught the wrong runner and is facing criticism for it.

How did they shoot the wrong player? The trio was playing Marathon on the “Border Zone” map when a hostile runner burst into the room. “Friendly, friendly, friendly, I’m doing the ARG stuff,” he shouted repeatedly, running past the stunned players.

The three didn’t hesitate long and chased after the unknown player. They made it clear that they were not friendly. A few shots later, the unknown player was on the ground, complaining – while the group of friends laughed loudly.

A player from the trio posted the scene on his TikTok channel. In the video, he wrote: “When you meet an ARC Raiders player in Marathon…” and added in the video description: “We’re not playing nice here, buddy.” They wanted to point out that Marathon is not a friendly game.

However, the player faced a lot of criticism for the video – even from the PvP-friendly Marathon community. They shot the wrong runner.

“That’s not an ‘ARC Raiders’ player”

Who was this player? The community noticed in the clip that it was not just any ‘ARC Raiders’ player who thought he could fulfill his peace quest in Marathon by shouting that he was friendly. The player was content creator Skarrow9.

Skarrow9 is primarily known for his content on Destiny 2. For several years, he has been creating videos with guides, tips, and other useful information about Bungie’s loot shooter and has gained over 120,000 subscribers on YouTube. His videos often reach over 20,000 views.

Currently, Skarrow9 is focusing on Bungie’s new game, Marathon, which he plays actively. Here, he publishes, as he did with Destiny 2, not only tips and guides but also information about so-called ARGs. These are basically puzzles from Bungie for the community.

When the trio encountered the YouTuber, he was working on solving a current puzzle. A comment on TikTok states, “That’s Skarrow9, that guy is something like the ultimate ARG master and has unlocked the secret trailers for us.”

A puzzle whose solution could bring a new map.

What kind of puzzle is this? The community is currently working on a puzzle from Bungie that apparently should unlock the fourth map of the game, Cryo Archive. The puzzle consists of countless steps. The community never knows what the next step looks like. They have to figure everything out themselves.

They receive some information from external websites, while others find them on terminals in the game, which they must interact with in a specific order.
In one moment, they decode coordinates, in the next, they have to find clues in cryptic images

The solution to the puzzle has been dragging on for several days, and while most players in Marathon simply run through the maps and push each other around, players like Skarrow9 are trying to unlock the new map for the entire community. The trio’s kill of the YouTuber backfired since they caught one of the few players that no one wants to see dead.

While some players in Marathon are trying to solve the mysterious puzzle, others unexpectedly meet their best friend from school in a random raid again – at least that’s what happened to a Twitch streamer: A Twitch streamer has not seen his best friend from school for 10 years and randomly meets him in Marathon

Players of Path of Exile plead with developers to revise a system: “It’s an abomination”

Cedric Holmeier 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

A major innovation from the new season Path of Exile: Mirage is the new Atlas system, but players are not satisfied with it.

What has changed in the system? The Atlas system is the entry point to the endgame of Path of Exile. With the new changes from the season Mirage, the developers have simplified the ways to fill the Atlas.

While previously players had to find each individual map by luck, the developers have changed the system so that players now just need to find a blank map with a tier level and transform it into a selected map in the new Atlas system. Unlike before, players can now simply determine which map they want to play.

This allows players to complete the Atlas faster and no longer spend so long searching for the last missing map. However, the new system also has its weaknesses.

Here you can watch the trailer for the new season of Path of Exile: Mirage:

Designed by developers

What bothers the players? In a new post on Reddit, players express their frustration about the new system. While the fundamental idea of the improved Atlas is positively highlighted by players, there is much criticism of the new design.

Fans joke in the post that the new Atlas was designed by developers, not designers, because “the map device is an abomination.” Reddit user NckyDC describes it this way:

This device that appears, disappears, and moves – having to search for maps each time, squint your eyes, and think about how it works is simply an extremely bad user experience.

Technically, the new system works perfectly, but it does not provide a good experience for users.

What do players wish for? Players are clear: The system needs to be improved. Sometimes it is small details that disturb players. They write on Reddit:

fdegen: “The extra click that has been added between whether to just place a map or put it where you want it. That bothers me so much”
lepsek9: “If we could just favorite/pin a single map that opens automatically…”
Lancestrike: “Plug in a controller, you will find that it’s even worse there.”
Educational-Ruin9992: “Had to look up how to make a map when I tried it for the first time. I’m not a smart man, and GGG takes advantage of that.”

If the developers improve the system with a patch, it could lift the mood in the community again, because about two weeks after the launch of the new season, most players are probably now at the Atlas System.

Player plays ARC Raiders with his mouth, thus likely getting permanently banned – The community pleads for the developers’ mercy

Dariusz Müller 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

A player is permanently banned in ARC Raiders and swears he has never cheated – however, he plays the shooter with his mouth instead of mouse and keyboard.

What’s up with the player? On Reddit, a desperate gamer reached out to the ARC Raiders community. The player was permanently banned in the extraction shooter by Embark, is disappointed, and doesn’t know what else he can do to get the ban lifted.

The player swears he has never cheated in a game, but he has a suspicion as to why he might have been banned: he is tetraplegic and thus paralyzed in all four limbs.

To work on the computer or play games like ARC Raiders and Fortnite, he uses a so-called Quadstick controller, operated with the mouth by blowing and sucking. He demonstrated the setup with the Quadstick in a short video on YouTube.

Start video

Spieler in Arc Raiders schreit so laut um Hilfe, dass der Nachbar die Tür aufbricht

Autoplay

Why was he banned? The exact reason for the ban is currently unclear, but all signs point to him being banned for “cheating.” A screenshot he attached to the post mentions a violation of the code of conduct.

The permanent ban occurred according to the ban notification because his account showed multiple offenses. Embark previously stated that serious violations or a number of minor offenses without improvement can lead to permanent bans. He had only recently served a temporary ban that lasted a month and ended on February 23.

But how could this be considered cheating? It is conceivable that the functioning of the Quadstick or associated software was considered a violation by automated detection systems of the anti-cheat system. This has occasionally happened with third-party software in the past.

Also, devices like a Cronus Zen, if he uses something like that for the connection of the Quadstick, could pose a problem. Such devices are considered cheating tools by many developers.

We contacted the player and requested additional information to ideally assist in identifying the cause of the ban.

This is how the community reacts: The player’s post gathered over 20,800 upvotes and nearly 1,800 comments on Reddit. The ARC Raiders community agrees: Embark should take another look at the player’s case and possibly manually lift the ban.

Many users try to help with well-meaning advice and wish him luck. Others comment to gain more attention for the post.

Part of the community also recommends the player to send Embark a picture of his setup in addition to the description of his situation – after all, you never know what excuses rightly banned players might use when they are banned. Some even travel to the developers’ office: ARC Raiders players violate the sacred rule of online gaming, harassing the developers and swearing they are innocent

If you don’t want to play Jeff Kaplan’s new game, he has kind words for you: “Shut your mouth. No one cares.”

Cortyn 17. March 2026 Reading time 3 minutes

If you don’t want to play Jeff Kaplan’s new game, you better hold back. Because Kaplan shoots sharply at critics who are not constructive.

Many may still know Jeff Kaplan from the Overwatch days. He was the Game Director and often appeared in the game’s “Developer Updates,” where he calmly explained what changed in the game – even though his videos were often taken out of context to create funny parodies.

But as calm and composed as he always seemed back then, he is not. Because he can also be quite different and has a clear message for everyone who doesn’t want to play his new game The Legend of California: Shut your damn mouth.

Start video

The Legend of California – The New Game by Jeff Kaplan

Autoplay

What is The Legend of California? The Legend of California (link to the Steam page) promises to be an open-world shooter paired with some survival elements. You can gather resources and build structures while shaping your own legend in California during the Gold Rush – whether through raids or more peacefully.

Not many details emerge from the trailer yet, so we will have to wait and see how the game develops.

But that is just a side note – because it is actually more about how Kaplan deals with “haters,” and he finds drastic words for that.

Those who don’t want to play Kaplan’s game should shut their mouths

What does Kaplan say to critics? In a 10-hour live stream on Twitch, Kaplan had clear words. He has become quite frustrated over the years at how opinions are expressed on the internet – especially when it comes to video games that someone isn’t interested in, has never played, and doesn’t want to play, but still informs the world that they definitely will not play it. To those people, Kaplan says:

I understand that people want to express their opinion. But honestly, when a game comes out and you don’t want to play it and have never played it before, just shut your damn mouth. Nobody cares. We don’t need to hear that you’re not interested.

His opinion seems pretty cemented, as he adds:

[If you act like this], you’re spinning your wheels to the point where there’s no value in even listening to you.

There are forums, like Reddit and so on, where people just say: Yeah, whatever, that guy is just forever on ignore. He is in no way productive. It’s just about who gets the most points for being upset. It bores me so much.

Kaplan is well aware that with his words, he might be pushing it a bit:

I will probably face some issues because of what I’ve just said, but I am at a point in my life and career where I just don’t care anymore. What comes closest to a midlife crisis for me is that I simply couldn’t care less.

Has Kaplan always been like this? Many don’t really know Jeff Kaplan’s “origin story”. The fact that he even came to Blizzard was mainly due to his (loud) frustration with the first EverQuest. There, he was known under the name “Tigole” and was a pretty successful guild leader, who often lost his temper in forums. He explained to the developers in very aggressive language how they should develop their game and what mistakes and problems needed to be fixed.

This – albeit often toxic – passion for an MMORPG was essentially his invitation to Blizzard, where he would later shape large parts of the original World of Warcraft.

More news on MeinMMO:

WoW: A NPC in Midnight remembers you and you surely hate him

WoW: Team Liquid achieves the World First Kill, but then the boss says: “Haha, no!”

ARC Raiders: Hurricane Caches – Every Location on All Maps

Cortyn says: I really like this unfiltered openness from Jeff Kaplan. You can really tell how he can say all those things now that wouldn’t have been possible in a big company like Blizzard. I also really appreciate that he speaks his mind and clearly names what currently bothers him about gaming communities, as I feel similarly.

When new releases are immediately attacked and posts shoot up everywhere only saying “Looks bad” or “Is this going to be the next Concord, I’m not playing it” – then that is incredibly exhausting and quite disrespectful to the people who have worked for years on a game. Of course, constructive criticism should be allowed, but in many cases, it’s just “hating for the sake of hating” – and that has yet to help any discussion in any way.

How Kaplan describes his time at Blizzard is especially interesting in recent years. Because he was tasked by a boss with an almost insoluble task on which the fate of 1,000 employees depended. Kaplan refers to this moment as “the biggest ‘f*** you’ of my life”.

Two new hairstyles.
Il Toro balancing:
- Note from the developers: This is an adjustment that many of you have wished for. We have optimized the Il Toro to improve its damage per second and effectiveness at range, especially in combination with a choke. We are also making some changes to ensure it behaves more like a weapon of its rarity (less versatile at lower upgrade tiers and more dependent on upgrades and mods). Above all, the fire rate and reload time have been reduced, making it even more important to optimally utilize positioning, cover, and timing to defeat your opponents. We will of course continue to closely monitor the effects in practice and make further adjustments if necessary. Thank you for your feedback and patience!
  - The damage from projectiles has been reduced from 7.5 to 7.
  - The base fire rate has been reduced from 43 to 38.
  - The base spread has increased from 4.5 to 6. The total reload time has increased from 4.3 s to 5.7 s.
  - The time until the reload starts has increased from 0.8 s to 1 s.
  - The reload time has increased from 0.5 s to 0.7 s. The damage loss due to cooldown has increased from 40% to 50%.
A bug has been fixed that caused persistent noises when comets and fireballs were destroyed.
A bug has been fixed that caused players to be pushed through walls and get stuck in the dam’s control zone.
Missing collision checks near the eastern elevator and under the pipes in the spaceport have been fixed.
The selling price of energy clips has been reduced from 1000 to 200 coins.
- Note from the developers: Energy clips have unintentionally become a very profitable craft. Therefore, we are reducing the selling price to align profitability with other crafts.

The new strongest attack in Pokémon GO is the hammer, but it doesn’t really hit hard

Max Handwerk 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, Granforgita unleashes the hammer and hammers its way into the attack rankings. The impact of the attack can already be estimated.

What kind of attack is this? Exciting news in Pokémon GO: Forgita, the Steel Fairy Pokémon, is getting its own Community Day.

This means that you not only have a better chance of getting the little monster as a Shiny, but there’s also news regarding attacks: Granforgita, the final evolution of Forgita, will learn the move Giant Hammer starting from Community Day.

And it’s impressive. The Giant Hammer hits with 300 damage in Arena and Raid battles, placing it at the top of the charge move rankings, aside from special moves like Dynamax attacks.

Does this make Granforgita an absolute hammer attacker in Pokémon GO? The answer is: well.

Start video

Autoplay

Hammer strong, monster somewhat mediocre

Is the Giant Hammer worth it? The base value of 300 is extremely strong, but unfortunately, Granforgita’s own stats are not. Granforgita has an attack value of 155.

Since Giant Hammer is a Steel move, Granforgita needs to be compared with other Steel attackers. And at the top, there are definitely better candidates:

Metagross, for example, has a value of 257
The special Necrozma forms have 277
Zacian in its Crowned form counts 332
Zamazenta in its Crowned form has 250
Dialga has 275
Melmetal comes in at 226

The list goes on. In short: Granforgita itself is unfortunately not a top attacker. The Giant Hammer will definitely make Granforgita a good Steel attacker in Raids – but it is unlikely to rise to the top-tier.

And what about in PvP? That remains to be seen. In general, Granforgita is already a good choice in Great and Ultra League. Giant Hammer has a value of 130 in battles – that’s very high. It remains to be seen how much energy the move will require and how quickly it charges.

If Giant Hammer can be used quickly, it could be a real upgrade for Granforgita in PvP. However, we need to wait and see how the energy values ultimately look.

Fans of Solo Leveling were able to vote on who the best partner for the hero is, choosing an insect

Jasmin Beverungen 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

In the Anime of Solo Leveling, protagonist Sung Jinwoo has several potential partners who are into him. Fans were able to vote in 2020 to determine who the best waifu is. This choice fell on a somewhat unusual partner.

Attention, spoiler: This paragraph contains a small spoiler about the identity of Sung Jinwoo’s later wife.

What kind of vote is this? The Kakaopage site is home to many Korean webtoons and awards the best stories every year. In 2020, fans from Korea were to vote for the best couple.

Solo Leveling won the first prize. The protagonist Sung Jinwoo and his better half ultimately decided the race in their favor. However, the hero of Solo Leveling is not seen with his later wife Cha Hae-In, but with his shadow soldier Beru.

Thus, fans prioritized the bromance of the hero over his actual marriage. The couple is obviously an insider joke. But there’s a good reason for that.

Why are they a good couple? After Beru was defeated by the protagonist in Season 2, he joins his shadow army. He is extremely emotional, often crying in awe and almost obsessively adoring his master.

Later, it is also mentioned, that he takes care of Jinwoo’s family. He cleans the household and even watches Korean soap operas on TV with the family. Therefore, he is humorously referred to as Jinwoo’s actual wife.

The actual marriage of Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-in is not depicted until after 2020 in the webtoon. Accordingly, readers could not have known that they would ultimately become a couple, even though there were some signs for it.

Who is the character? In Season 2, Beru appears as the main antagonist. He is a humanoid form of the ant king. He possesses incredible speed and power, so that even the Japanese hunters are no match for him.

After Jinwoo’s victory over the ant king, he extracts his shadow and adds him to his own army.

A man sells his house, is advised by ChatGPT on how to paint the walls: “Expectations exceeded”

Claudio Niggenkemper 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

A family man from the USA dares to experiment: He sells his house completely with the help of AI in just five days. From planning to choosing wall colors, ChatGPT takes care of almost everything.

What was this experiment about? Robert Levine lived in his house in Cooper City, Florida, for 15 years before he decided to sell it. Instead of hiring a traditional real estate agent, he chose an unusual path: he wanted to handle the entire sales process using artificial intelligence. More specifically, with ChatGPT.

Select a MMO video…

For him, it was not only about getting help in specific areas. As he explained to the news channel NBC News, he wanted to conduct a real experiment and consciously involve the AI in every single step.

From planning to selling, everything was to be supported by ChatGPT. His goal was to find out how far he could actually go with modern AI—without the classic support from experts.

The cheaper agent

How did ChatGPT help with the sale of the house? The AI took over some tasks that would usually be handled by an agent or various service providers. According to Levine, the structure that ChatGPT brought to the process was particularly important. It created a detailed schedule for each individual step.

In addition, ChatGPT helped with pricing and created texts for the online listing. The AI also assisted in organizing viewing appointments and publishing on real estate platforms.

Marketing-Chef von Crimson Desert hat auf eine Frage aus der Community überhaupt keine Lust mehr: „Nutzt euer Hirn“

Before the release of Crimson Desert on March 19, 2026, fans only have one question that worries them: What about the base version of PS5 and Xbox Series S, does the game run well there? The developers respond differently to this.

What troubles the fans? Looking at the gameplay of Crimson Desert, it has been recorded by testers on PC or PS5 Pro. However, there has been a lack of real gameplay footage from the base versions of the current console generation.

Therefore, fans are worried that Crimson Desert could become choppy there or may not look as pretty in the end. However, the developers of Crimson Desert remain calm.

Here you can see the trailer for Crimson Desert:

“Use your brain”

How do the developers respond to the fans? Before the calls from the community became too loud, Marketing Chief Will Powers had already responded to the fans’ inquiries. For him, the requests seemed a bit illogical and annoying, so he initially replied on Discord: “[…] Use your brain… if the game runs on a [GTX] 1060, a ROG Ally, and a Mac, it will also run on more powerful hardware like a standard PS5.”

But for the fans, this statement was not enough. They wanted to see proof and started asking for gameplay from the PS5 or Xbox Series S under all posts of Crimson Desert on social media.

Is there now gameplay? Yes, the developers delivered the requested gameplay on March 17, 2026. A video was released on the PlayStation Japan YouTube channel showing how Crimson Desert plays on the base console.

The Future of Marvel depended on a single actor, but he refused to play Iron Man

Christoph Waldboth 17. March 2026 Reading time 2 minutes

Anyone who knows Iron Man is likely to associate the face of actor Robert Downey Jr. with it. However, his casting was not initially planned, and another actor was supposed to appear in the film. Whoever received the role had a heavy burden to bear.

Marvel Studios, formerly known as Marvel Films, has been involved in various feature films related to brands from its own comic book publishing since 1993, long before Iron Man (2008). This mainly involved the granting of licenses.

With Iron Man, however, they wanted to start their own in-house and independent film universe, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As we know today, the endeavor has been very successful. By March 2026, 37 films across six so-called phases have been released, along with several series.

It was therefore very important for the company that the first film, Iron Man, was a success. Much depended on the lead actor, who was to be the face of the new fictional universe. While Robert Downey Jr. did a great job in the role, he was not initially Marvel’s first choice.

The Perfect Mix

Who should play Iron Man? Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, spoke in 2023 at the University of South California about the making of Iron Man – and about the casting of the lead role (via fandomwire.com).

They had looked at many different actors, and one thing was important in that regard:

„We had to find the perfect mix of heart, strength, and charisma. Because it was our very first Marvel film, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. The success of the film and the future of our entire studio rested on the shoulders of that one person.”
Kevin Feige

The search was not easy, but ultimately the choice fell on Clive Owen. He is known from films like Children of Men, Inside Men, Sin City, or King Arthur.

Marvel would have been happy with Owen, but the actor was not interested in portraying Iron Man. He declined, and the studio had to continue searching. Years later, Kevin Feige does not seem particularly saddened by this:

That is the unwritten rule of life. If you don’t get your first choice, it might just be the best thing that can happen to you. Because do you know what is better than getting your first choice? Making the right choice. And in our case, that choice was, of course, Robert Downey Jr., and the first film we made as a studio ultimately became one of the highest-rated and highest-grossing films of the year.
Kevin Feige
