2 Years After Release, Helldivers 2 Presents Its First Roadmap, Showing That They Listen to the Players

How does Star Wars: The Old Republic play after all these years? The online RPG for the Star Wars universe is regularly provided with new content by the developers at Broadsword, thus attracting players to the servers even after all these years.

In recent months and years, there have been not only new endgame content but also fundamental improvements, such as to the graphics. Colleague Cedric took a detailed look at the MMORPG just last year and summarized his impressions – which are likely still valid today – in the following article: Is Star Wars: The Old Republic still worth it today?

The brave soldiers of Helldivers 2 have long ago received the perfect perk to save the Over-Earth, yet hardly anyone uses it

Cedric Holmeier 1. August 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The brave warriors of Over-Earth currently have a mission in Helldivers 2 that particularly suits a perk, yet they absolutely refuse to use it.

What is the current mission? The general order for the Helldivers is currently to defend the planets Turing and Achernar Secundus. At the same time, players must collect 30 million rare samples.

These samples can be found on various planets and are hidden off-mission all over the map. To secure the samples, players need to escape with them and bring them to safety. If a Helldiver dies, they drop the sample container which must be picked up again by themselves or their comrades. However, a perk actually makes this task much easier.

Here you can see the current war bond:

Perfect Suitability, but Weak Perk

Which perk makes it easier? The perk “Sample Scanner” is actually perfect for the Helldiver’s general order. It gives Helldivers a 15% chance to receive double samples.

With it, players would reach their goal 15% faster and thus complete the developers’ mission quicker. However, the players are only lukewarm about the perk.

What do the players say about it? The Helldivers clearly state why they don’t want to use the perk. It is simply too weak for them. On Reddit, they write:

Stale_t0ast47: “Because the booster only has a 15 percent chance of doing anything.”
Curious_Freedom6419: “15 % chance to double your samples. Honestly, Arrowhead should raise the chance to 50 % to make it worth taking.”
TheChadStevens: “Because you’d have to leave behind one of the four good boosters for what, an average 15 % increase? And it won’t even be a 15 % increase compared to normal gameplay, since not taking the good boosters will probably result in slower and fewer mission completions.”
Illogical_Saj: “If this thing highlighted samples near you on the map, it would have been perfect.”

Can the Helldivers fulfill the order even without the perk? Yes, currently it seems that the Helldivers can complete the mission within the time limit even without the 15% more samples. As of July 31, 2025, at 3:30 PM, they have already collected more than 36% of the samples (via hd2galaxy.com), and that in just over 24 hours.

Until the mission expires, players still have plenty of time and are expected to even finish a day early if the pace continues.

Mark Zuckerberg presents his vision of the future: A personal, superintelligent AI in the form of wearable glasses

Mark Zuckerberg shares his vision for the future: It consists of a superintelligence and his new glasses

Artificial intelligence is a topic that many are deeply concerned about. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), has already invested billions in his own AI company. Now Zuckerberg shared his vision regarding AI: A personalized, superintelligent AI for everyone, especially in the form of wearable glasses. This has been reported by the English-language magazine TheVerge.

According to Zuckerberg, the future consists of a superintelligent AI that everyone can use

What did Zuckerberg say? In a public post by Meta, he explained in a lengthy statement his vision for AI, which he referred to with the words “personal superintelligence.” He said his vision is that everyone has an AI tool that

helps you achieve your goals, create what you want to see in the world, experience every adventure, be a better friend to those who matter to you, and become the person you want to be.

(…)

Progress is slow, but undeniable. The development of superintelligence is now in sight.

Zuckerberg also continued his optimistic stance on smart glasses, stating that humanity’s “primary computing devices” will primarily be personal devices such as glasses. Zuckerberg had already announced the end of the phone when he presented his glasses as the successor.

WoW releases secret messages – Hints at the future of Azeroth

Cortyn 1. August 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

New, short videos give a taste of what might soon happen in World of Warcraft. A warning to all adventurers.

If you have been paying a little attention to social media in recent days, you might have received a link or two to “secret” videos. These are videos that were initially shown as “unlisted” on the YouTube channel of World of Warcraft – meaning they were only viewable with a direct link – but are now freely accessible.

Start video

WoW: The Alliance of the Space Traveler – Patch 11.2 Ghosts of K’aresh

Autoplay

These are small teasers for the story of K’aresh, the setting of Patch 11.2 Spirits of K’aresh. The videos narrate the history of the planet K’aresh from the perspective of a resident. But does this replace a trailer for the new patch? Is this an attempt at a new way of storytelling? The community is puzzled.

What are the videos about? The small audio logs tell the story of the planet K’aresh. A – judging by the voice, female – member of the K’areshi recounts the last weeks and years before the homeworld was consumed by the Void.

If you are not proficient in English, you can activate German subtitles on YouTube to understand the whole story.

Meanwhile, a picture was shared in the “Secret Finding” Discord, showing staring eyes in the darkness of the cosmos – along with a date, namely August 1, 2025, at 6:00 PM. Whether a video, a puzzle, or something entirely different will be released then remains to be seen. Perhaps we will be wiser tonight.

A first glimpse of the Void in Midnight

What does this have to do with Midnight? Although the two small audio clips primarily tell the story of the K’areshi, the original inhabitants of the Nexus and Astral, they also contain a few hints that indicate what might soon happen to Azeroth.

Especially the description of a “storm without wind and rain,” which “merely consisted of shadows,” that “stared hungrily,” is likely to remind many of the artwork Blizzard has already released for the upcoming expansion Midnight. For there too, we see a great storm from which the Void is pouring onto Azeroth. While some hope to see an old secret enemy in the image – whether there is anything to this remains to be seen.

The community is confused and divided: In the World of Warcraft community, these videos are met with mixed feelings.

The comments on wowhead tend to be rather negative, believing that there was simply a lack of trailers, which is why such simple audio messages were released, needing only a writer and a voice actress.

However, the comments under the YouTube videos are largely positive. Many enjoy this way of connecting with new story elements and appreciate that many old lore details are being revisited – such as the fact that excessive magic is corrupting and harmful, even in the case of arcane magic.

Battlefield 6 shows what fans have been waiting for for years: “This is what Battlefield 2042 was supposed to be”

Nicole Wakulczyk 31. July 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

During the multiplayer reveal, Battlefield 6 showcased what fans can expect in the new installment of the series. We summarize the initial reactions for you.

Battlefield 6 is an upcoming first-person shooter by Electronic Arts that offers large-scale, modern warfare with vehicles, infantry, and destructible environments. During the multiplayer reveal, the developers announced in a livestream on Twitch that Battlefield 6 will be released on October 10, 2025. You can find all important info about the release, the beta, and the price here.

The event also showcased gameplay of the new shooter in an action-packed trailer, accompanied by a music remix by Limp Bizkit. Players are cautiously enthusiastic about it.

“Destruction is back on the menu”

What do players say about Battlefield 6? On Reddit, many fans are currently sharing their thoughts about the new installment of the shooter series. Many are pleased that there will be “real” classes again. Especially the game mechanics allowing players to destroy buildings and structures are well-received by players:

Westo6Besto9: “Damn, their trailers always hit the mark. Being able to break through the floor with a sledgehammer looks damn cool.”
spartyftw: “Destruction is back on the menu.”
literallyacactus: “The destruction looks exactly like I always wanted it to look.”

In another post on Reddit, the user makz242 writes: “Old classes. I just looked at the interface – WEAPON STATS! Everything looks great. The game feels like what [Battlefield] 2042 should have been!” And Bigd1979666 adds: “I feel the same. The gameplay looks just fantastic and gives me real nostalgia.”

The user Dependent-Guitar-473 writes on Reddit: “Bro … I nearly burnt my food, I just couldn’t look away.”

What concerns do players have? Besides the hype, players also express concerns about Battlefield 6. There are frequent reminders not to pre-order the game. One does not know what the gameplay will ultimately look like and how close the trailers are to the original. Many recall Battlefield 2042, which had a rough start and couldn’t really recover.

The user DhruvM praises on Reddit the destruction mechanics shown in the trailers, but also has concerns. He hopes that more classic maps will return. Seeing dragging corpses and crawling backward from an older Battlefield game would be cool. Battlefield 6 seems dark and grounded. However, he hopes that this energy will be maintained – “without silly operators, no flashy skins and over-the-top adrenaline gameplay style with limited weapon classes. Then we could actually get a strong game,” he writes.

Hideo Kojima knows countless ways to kill people because he has been ‘trained’ for his job as a developer

Christoph Waldboth 31. July 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Hideo Kojima is a legendary developer and known for eccentric games. Some of his views and statements are also quite surprising. He has a clear stance when it comes to the expertise of a developer.

Who is Hideo Kojima? If you are unfamiliar with the name: Hideo Kojima is one of the most prominent developers in gaming and the father of the long-running series Metal Gear Solid, which was created under Konami. For several years, he worked with his own studio on Death Stranding 1 & 2 and is currently working on the sequel project OD.

Kojima is known for his innovative game concepts and also for telling his eccentric stories in extravagant cutscenes at a movie level. Especially important to the developer seem to be the small details that bring a scenario and the characters to life.

Recently, he expressed criticism of the gaming industry, noting among other things that many of his colleagues simply did not know what exactly they were working on. He, on the other hand, has trained.

A classic Kojima

What does Kojima say? In a conversation with SSENSE, Kojima spoke about the industry and mentioned that he visited a large studio that sought his advice for a new game.

It was about a stealth game, presumably similar to Metal Gear Solid – no wonder they sought Kojima’s help. However, he seemed quite unimpressed by the game shown to him. It was primarily because developers often do not really understand the subject matter they portray in a game. In the interview, Kojima said:

People who develop military games probably don’t know how to disassemble a weapon or shoot with it. That’s kind of sad.

When asked whether he himself has experience with such things, he replied:

Yes, because I have undergone that training too, and I have learned so many ways to kill people.

He did not elaborate further on the latter statement – a classic Kojima indeed. However, it shows that the legendary developer thinks about all aspects of his games. Kojima wants to understand how an activity, such as shooting a weapon, works in reality.

Let’s just hope that he keeps his knowledge about killing to himself and does not put any of it into practice …

Twitch streamer dominates his league in Europe with LoL team, cannot defend his title if he wants to go to the World Championship

Niko Hernes 31. July 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Although they only play in the 2nd league of Europe, the team Los Ratones is quite well-known in League of Legends. So far, they have managed to win every tournament they played this year. However, they might not be able to defend the title as the World Championship is around the corner.

Who are Los Ratones? Twitch streamer Caedrel founded his own LoL team made up of well-known ex-professionals and other influencers in November 2024. This includes the unusual player TheBausffs. He himself acts as the coach and owner of the team. Caedrel also co-streams professional matches and provides live commentary on Twitch, not only for his own team’s matches.

Although the idea sounds crazy, Los Ratones is quite successful. In the regional league NLC, Los Ratones has been doing quite well from the start. They won the Winter and Spring playoffs, and they also took first place in both this year’s EMEA Masters, which is essentially the European Regionals Championship.

In September, the next tournament, the EMEA Masters Summer, starts, but there might not be a title defense as the dates overlap with this year’s Worlds.

One wants to take the chance in China

What is the problem with this year’s dates? The final of the EMEA Masters is supposed to take place on November 2 in Paris. The issue is that the Worlds have already started by then, and the semifinals are taking place on that day.

The Worlds are the most important esports event in LoL, and as a co-streamer, Caedrel also wants to participate there. In a clip (via Reddit), Caedrel expresses his frustration about the dates. He emphasizes that the Summer Split takes place in November. Last year, the final of the EMEA Masters was on August 30.

During the stream, his player Rekkles (via x.com) wrote in the chat to simply skip the tournament and fly to South Korea. Caedrel responded that it could definitely work.

This way, Caedrel could not only cast the Worlds live in China, but Los Ratones would also have a good training opportunity, as they could train with other top teams in South Korea, and the solo queue level is higher than in Europe.

Furthermore, it would certainly be a great opportunity for content for Caedrel, but also for the players of Los Ratones.

What do the organizers of the EMEA Masters say about the criticism? On x.com, the tournament organizers responded to the criticism and assured that the final of the EMEA Masters will not take place at the same time as the Worlds semifinals.

The final is supposed to take place after the Worlds matches. However, this may not resolve Caedrel’s issue. With the great success of Los Ratones, the question arises as to why they are not playing in the LEC. The problem is money: Twitch streamer founds his own team in LoL, wins the EM directly – But to move forward, he would need 20 million euros

22 Jahre lang plagte ein Feature auf Steam die Spieler, doch jetzt wurde es endlich verbessert

Christoph Waldboth 31. July 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Steam has been an essential part of the gaming landscape for years. It was all the more frustrating that an important feature worked poorly for a long time. But now Valve has brought about a positive change.

Which feature is it? Steam keeps getting new features, such as to check your performance. In this case, the discussion is about the trailers on the platform. If you’re looking for a new game and browsing the shop page, you’ll sooner or later come across a trailer. Ideally, it gives a good first impression of what to expect.

It’s annoying when playback stutters, doesn’t run smoothly, and the quality leaves much to be desired. Steam users are familiar with this problem and have probably turned to trailers on YouTube for years because Valve’s own platform was quite frustrating in this regard.

But now the annoyance has come to an end, Gabe Newell and his company have heard our prayers: Steam has received a new video player that aims to improve many aspects. The result is quite positive.

Start video

What has been improved? Valve has written a post about the new video player in the Steam news blog. In it, the innovations and improvements are listed:

There is a new user interface that responds better to user input.
The interface adapts better to the respective device, whether on PC, Steam Deck, or smartphone. Valve particularly mentions the improved display on the iPhone.
Hovering over the timeline with the mouse shows thumbnails.
There should be fewer interruptions when fast-forwarding and rewinding, and the transition to fullscreen should be seamless.
There is now a better use of available internet bandwidth – the player automatically switches quality when your connection becomes weaker or stronger.
The aspect ratio of the trailers is displayed correctly.

Looking at Steam now, one can already recognize a pleasant improvement of the player after just a few clicks. Everything feels a bit smoother and less cumbersome than with the old version. The makeover ensures that Steam appears a bit more modern now.

According to Valve, the update involved significant effort. Since the entire technology behind the player was changed, all trailers also had to be converted to the appropriate format.

According to Valve, this affected a whopping 400,000 video files – the blog implies that even the company was surprised by this. Valve also points out that not all trailers are available in high resolution. For older videos, they no longer have the original files and therefore have to rely on lower quality versions. This even affects their own game Portal, where you can happily count pixels in the trailer.

Have you already noticed the change? Feel free to let us know in the comments what you think and how the new player feels for you. Steam has been around for 22 years, quite a while now. The story of a very old feature is curious: A feature on Steam exists only because Valve had a problem in 2003

New MMORPG on Steam focuses on action-packed battles, does not want you to simply spam skills

Niko Hernes 31. July 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

With ArcheAge Chronicles, fans of PvE can look forward to a new MMORPG on Steam. In a new letter to the community, the producer spoke about the game’s goals. The focus is primarily on battles, which are intended to differ from classic skill rotations.

What is ArcheAge Chronicles? The MMORPG from Kakao Games is currently being developed by XL Games and focuses primarily on the western market. Instead of PvP, there is PvE and a story. The game’s content is also intended to rely less on gigantic raids and large groups.

The focus is on small squads and even solo players. One of the most important points for the studio is the combat system. The developers emphasized this again in a new letter to the community.

What is in the letter? In a new post on Steam, the Executive Producer of XL Games, Ham Yongjin, reaches out to the community. In the letter, he discusses the game’s goals and current status. He explains that they didn’t want to create a simple sequel to ArcheAge. He also emphasizes: This is not a traditional MMORPG. What we are developing is an exploration-oriented online action RPG.

Referring to this statement, he first talks about combat in the game, which is a major focus of the development team. The combat system is intended to be combo-based, and the mechanics will focus on dodging and weapon-specific abilities that should feel good and fast. According to him, the game should reward clever gameplay instead of the traditional spamming of ability rotations.

In addition to combat, ArcheAge Chronicles also focuses on the story and exploration. With smaller groups, the world is intended to feel more intimate and personal. They want to avoid zergs (uncoordinated, large groups).

Yongjin further explains that they want to adopt and develop the strengths from ArcheAge. He mentions lifeskills, housing, and crafting. NPCs are intended to feel more alive.

New Event in Diablo 4 brings more Treasure Goblins and Loot – Here’s how to farm the Goblin March best

Nicole Wakulczyk 31. July 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Diablo 4, the Goblin March is underway – an event where more Treasure Goblins spawn. And with the right tricks, you can farm them effectively and grab plenty of loot.

What kind of event is this? During the “Goblin March” event, more Treasure Goblins spawn in Sanctuary and drop loot bags when you defeat them – including the coveted Mythic Uniques. The event runs until August 5, 2025 at 19:00 CEST. The Goblins appear in the open world, at Shrines of Greed, and during the world boss Gnawer.

Currently, the event is a major topic in the community. Many players share their farming routes and tactics on how to maximize the “Goblin March”. We have summarized the best tips for you.

Farming the Goblin March Best – Here’s How

How do I farm the event best? To get the most out of the “Goblin March” event, players summarize a few helpful tips. For example, vasilispp writes on Reddit:

Disable Crossplay so fewer Goblins are snatched away by other players.
Use a fast farming build with as much cooldown reduction on gear as possible so you can ride and attack faster.
Choose an area in Sanctuary with plenty of space so your mount doesn’t get stuck and you don’t have to keep dismounting and remounting.
Hop on your mount, ride around for a bit, and then open the map to see the Goblins. Kill them, repeat the process until you have largely cleared the area, and then move on to the next. It’s best to select three adjacent areas and simply teleport back to the first one when you’re done.

Other players point out in the comments that you should not ignore the Shrines of Greed with the gold coin symbol. klumze writes: “As soon as you activate one, start killing enemies immediately. This spawns more Goblins in the 30 seconds. If you run past mobs beforehand, you’ll have something to hit right after activation.”

Additionally, players suggest that the Nightmare Dungeons with the affixes “Treasure Goblins” and “Gold Supply” are worth it – the latter spawns more Shrines of Greed, players report. The PvP area is also worth farming. Bogusfakeaddy recommends for the area: “Hire Subo as a mercenary, ride off and keep an eye on your minimap.”

A possible route for efficient Goblin farming was posted by user Sw0_0n on Reddit:

What rewards can I get? The Treasure Goblins can drop various loot, including:

Obsidian, gem fragments, scattered prisms
Runes, Tribute
Gold, Oboluses
Legendarys, Uniques, and even Mythic Uniques

You can see which Treasure Goblins you might encounter in our overview. The first “Goblin March” permanently introduced the Goblins into the game in February 2025. However, one of the Goblin variants is said to be so rare in Diablo 4 that players claim: No one has ever seen the Treasure Goblin.

The best locations to reliably find Star Sand

Where is the best place to search for Star Sand? To reliably find Star Sand, you need to go looking at night. You can recognize the material by glowing spots that look like a spotlight is shining on them. There you can collect Star Sand.

Reliable areas and locations are mainly offered by Feybreak Island. Locations where you can find the material at night are:

The sandy area around the Verlohte Lande Teleporter
Abandoned Ash Plateau in the west of Feybreak Island
Withered Coast in the east of Feybreak Island
Loess Plateau in the south of Feybreak Island
Additional area: The desert on an island in the north of the map around the Tower of the Militia

The most effective location is the area around the Verlohte Lande Teleporter, as you can walk along the entire coast and search for Star Sand. If that is not enough, you can walk the remaining points on Feybreak Island.

You need Star Sand for these items

You need Star Sand for the following items:

Metal Detector (Level 56): 20 Star Sand
High-Tech Bow (Level 57): 20 | 40 | 60 | 90 | 135 Star Sand (depending on rarity)

Dune: Awakening is missing an important feature that most other survival games have – Players are now pleading with the developers

Cedric Holmeier 31. July 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

In Dune: Awakening, the developers are striving to meet the many wishes and demands of the players. However, with one feature, many wonder why it is even missing.

Which feature is missing? In Dune: Awakening, there are many machines and devices that players can build. The further players progress in the game, the more machines become available, allowing them to create better equipment and tools with increasingly rare resources.

Each type of item has its own factory gate in Dune: Awakening. Weapons come from the weapon fabricator, vehicles come from the vehicle fabricator, and armor comes from the armor fabricator. Many of these machines also have further upgraded tiers to allow the best items in the game to be created.

However, many players have a problem with this. They are now complaining on Reddit that their bases are full of machines and consuming a lot of power. They would much rather be able to build everything in the upgraded tiers.

This is how you protect your base from unwanted visitors:

Power Hogs in the Base

What is the problem? To be able to craft all items in Dune: Awakening, not only the highest tiers of machines and fabricators are needed, but also the lower ones. While the lower fabricators lack the capability to produce higher-tier items, the higher-tier fabricators sometimes also lack the ability to craft lower-tier items.

Now, user Suterusu-shin is complaining on Reddit that his base is unnecessarily cluttered with machines just because there are some items that cannot be built in the advanced fabricators. The player states that there are 13 machines in his base and asks the developers to reduce the necessary number.

Do other players feel the same way? Yes, in the comments under the Reddit post, many players agree with the user. Many are unclear why the developers have not implemented this feature long ago, especially since it is handled this way in many competitor titles. On Reddit, they write:

UnabletoPrintagain: “Yes, that always seemed absurd to me.”
AcidRohnin: “I deleted my survival fabricator, assuming the advanced ones would replace it, only to find out that it only had 3-4 items I had unlocked. Such a silly design decision. I understand they are playing the power game where you need to build more things, but I hate the clutter. Just increase the required power of all advanced factories instead of making me have a regular and an advanced one.”
Aivlis_Eldelbar: “I was extremely surprised when I found out that I had removed my old fabricators for free when I got the plan for a base upgrade. Needing an additional, dedicated space for the Mk6 items is one of the dumbest decisions ever unless they plan to add more higher-tier items soon. And it better be soon if that’s the case.”
Arbiter51x: “Especially since machines consume power 100% of the time, not just when they are in use. Manually turning off idle machines never made sense to me. Maybe I have played too much Satisfactory.”

What about the power issue? In Dune: Awakening, all machines in the base require sufficient power. If the limit is exceeded, the machines shut down, and you have to turn some of them off.

However, there is no function to initiate a standby mode for machines. Instead, each machine consumes the same amount of power at all times, whether it is being used or not. With so many machines, the limit is quickly reached.

The fact that advanced machines can hardly perform simple crafting is a design decision that is unusual for a survival game. In other titles, this is often possible. While this option is missing, the developers have been very creative with other features in the game: Players in Dune: Awakening suddenly discover a giraffe in front of their airplane, and the community explains that this is not a bug

A fan receives 3 exclusive minis from Games Workshop for Warhammer 40,000 and doesn’t know why

Benedict Grothaus 31. July 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Warhammer is usually associated with really expensive figures. Loyal customers regularly receive gifts from Games Workshop. It seems to be even more than planned, as a user recently had to realize.

What are those minis?

“The Unyielding” is an exclusive mini for Warhammer+ subscribers. The figure belongs to the Astra Militarum, thus the army of the Imperium of Man.
The mini represents a Kasrkin. Among the best soldiers of the already famous Cadians, this is the elite. They standardly carry high-energy laser rifles and plate armor.
The minis are individual figures. Unlike entire army sets or the cheaper battle patrols for beginners, there are special characters as individual (and more expensive) minis.

Where do the free minis come from? Subscribers of Warhammer+ have access to various minis each year that they can purchase exclusively. The respective models are only officially available in the corresponding year.

Non-subscribers cannot buy the figures officially. Warhammer+ is a kind of supplementary subscription for all Warhammer fans, with exclusive videos and some series, such as the new Kill Lupercal.

In each cycle, there are two minis that subscribers can receive: One of them is a free addition when you sign up for an annual subscription, the other is purchasable in the shop and costs 34 Euro.

The free mini is actually sent to subscribers according to their choice. However, the system does not seem to work entirely well, as a thread on Reddit shows.

Another legendary regiment is the Deathkorps of Krieg:

“You too? I have four of them now”

On Reddit, a user wonders that he had his free mini in the mail – a few weeks later a second and shortly thereafter a third. In his account, there is also a countdown indicating that another mini should appear in 19 days.

None of the packages contained any receipts or order confirmations. He simply received the sealed packages of the Cadian. The community reacts classically with: “Ah, nice for you,” or: “Oh no, my lobster is too tasty, and my steak is too juicy!”

Others comment that he is not the only one: They have exactly four of this figure lying around and don’t quite know what to do with them. Presumably, one will be painted, one will stay in original packaging, and the others will be sold on eBay (where one of these minis currently costs about 40 Euro on average).

For others, the opposite is true: They are subscribers, but have to manually inquire each year again because the automated system does not work for them. They suspect that there are logistical problems behind Warhammer+ that lead to such situations.

Many also selflessly offer to take the excess off his hands so that the user does not suffer from the surplus. The majority of fans, however, show themselves – as was to be expected – jokingly envious. The figures are relatively rare or sought after, and Warhammer players can indeed be peculiar: Grandma ran a comic shop 20 years ago, gives her grandson dozens of figures from Warhammer, makes the community envious

A fourth grader is the smartest person in Marvel and thanks to a red dinosaur she can also beat up villains

Niko Hernes 31. July 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

In the Marvel Universe, it is not only relevant to be powerful and strong in battle; intelligence is also a significant factor. Alongside clever minds like Tony Stark and Reed Richards, there is a little girl who is still in elementary school.

Which character is it? In the Marvel Universe, there are many characters known for their high intelligence. These include Hank Pym, Bruce Banner, Tony Stark, and Reed Richards. However, the title The smartest person on Earth belongs to someone else.

Moon Girl is still in elementary school, but even at a young age, she shows that she has incredible potential. She is also well-equipped for battles: with a giant dinosaur.

In Fantastic Four: The First Steps, Reed Richards also shows what he is capable of:

Already in elementary school, she shows how smart she is

Who is Moon Girl? Moon Girl debuted in November 2015 in the comic Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur No. 1. Depending on the storyline, she is a child or a young teenager dealing with all sorts of school matters for which she is actually too intelligent.

Marvel itself refers to her as the smartest person on Earth (via YouTube) and this is also reflected in one of her hobbies. Like many of the Marvel scientists, she enjoys inventing things. She was so interested in the Kree that she created a device to locate their technology.

But there was an accident with one of these devices, and suddenly nasty beings resembling Neanderthals appeared in Earth-616, threatening New York. However, Devil Dinosaur, a giant red dino that looks like a T-Rex and wanted to take revenge on the beings, also came from her dimension.

They teamed up and after a few adventures became a new hero duo: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. Their greatest specialty is not just her intellect, as she is not a normal human.

A first look at Moon Girl and her kid-friendly animated series on Disney+ can be found here:

Not a real human

Moon Girl is an Inhuman. Her interest in the Kree does not come from nowhere. She is indeed an Inhuman. These are genetically modified humans by the Kree, intended to be used against the Skrulls. The Inhuman genes of such NuHumans (Inhuman-human hybrids) activate through a Terrigen Mist.

With Kree technology, Moon Girl wanted to prevent her Inhuman genes from activating. Despite all her attempts to prevent it, during a battle with Kid Kree, her Inhuman abilities activated. But this plays in her favor. When she is angry, hungry, or experiences other strong emotions, she swaps her consciousness with Devil Dinosaur. In that body, she can even speak.

Despite her limited experience, she tries, together with Devil Dinosaur, to act as a heroine and usually deals with the Kree or the Inhumans. To defeat Super-Skrull, she once fought alongside Thing and Johnny Storm, even as a member of the Fantastic Four wearing a suit for the big dino.

As a character, she is rather aimed at children, which is why she has played mostly secondary roles in significant events.

A player in WoW collects so much stuff that even Blizzard is impressed

Cortyn 31. July 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

How much different stuff can you collect in World of Warcraft? A player answers this question with “Yes” – and even impresses Blizzard.

The true endgame of World of Warcraft is not raiding, Mythic+, or PvP – but collecting transmog. Because as every somewhat experienced fan knows: “Item level fades, transmog endures.” Therefore, for many, a main task in the game is to have as much variety as possible and to be able to show off a new transmog outfit for every raid night.

But one player collects more than just “a bit.” He has collected a whopping 90% – of all transmog in the game. Even Blizzard is impressed.

Meanwhile, another person has collected all achievements in the game:

Select a MMO video…

Who has collected so much? The player FearForge_Studios posted a screenshot of one of his addons in the WoW subreddit, listing how many templates he has already collected in the game. The impressive number: 90.37%. That’s a massive 28,789 different items available to him in his wardrobe and the collection solely from dungeons and raids.

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

Link to the Reddit content

That’s so much that even the official WoW account can only post “Daaaang” underneath.

According to the player, it took over 15 years to make this collection. This is the first time he has reached a value of over 90% in ATT, even though this will likely drop again with the next patch – or at the latest with the next expansion.

Event fuels collecting frenzy, was best time for completionists

How did he collect so much? The fact that he has collected over 90% of the available items from dungeons and raids as transmog rewards in some expansions is mainly due to the recent “Collector’s Bounty” event. Here, enemies not only dropped rare mounts more often, but also double the amount of transmog rewards.

Additionally, it has been possible for a while now to unlock transmog even if your character cannot equip the found item. In that case, the template is still unlocked in the wardrobe. This way, cloth wearers (like mages) can also pick up plate armor (for warriors) and add it to their collection.

The combination of these two circumstances allowed for massive expansion of one’s wardrobe, just as FearForge_Studios has done.

What is this addon? The addon that tracks progress in the collection is called “ALL THE THINGS”, or short ATT. ATT has already been presented in a post, but be warned: It is both a curse and a blessing. On one hand, it shows you in great detail absolutely every item in the game with its source – but at the same time, it painfully reminds you how little you have actually “completed” in WoW.

Did you use the event to significantly grow your transmog collection? How much percent of ATT have you been able to fill in so far? Or do you have no great interest in all the different outfits available in the game?
Something that shouldn’t be missing from any collection – but a real one – is this nostalgia item that someone got for just one euro.

Players are looking for flaws in the successful Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, complaining about lore errors

Benedict Grothaus 31. July 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is considered a huge success and has thrilled players at all levels. Now, a few months after the release, a fan wants to know what was actually not so great about the game. Lore nerds find plenty of details to criticize.

This is the success of Space Marine 2:

The second part of the popular Warhammer action game was released on September 9, 2024, and made a big impact. The success has even surprised the creators and licensors.
Space Marine 2 has 83% positive reviews on Steam (from 123,900 reviews) and delights players mainly with the heavy gameplay, where you can feel like a genetically engineered superhuman mowing down entire hordes of Xenos – completely true to the lore.
Although Space Marine 2 is not supposed to be a service game, it is continuously receiving updates with new content. Enough reason for joy among players, but there are still some complaints.

So why the complaints? On Reddit, a user wants to know what players find bothersome about Space Marine 2. Specifically: which lore has not been accurately represented.

The world of Warhammer 40,000 is vast and complex, with many facets and, above all, fans who know everything in detail. It is nearly impossible to know everything about Warhammer by heart, even if you spend all day reading books.

Actually, Space Marine 2 places great emphasis on being “historically” accurate and has even taken a long time perfecting the armor. Still, there seem to be some minor things that particularly annoy the hardcore Warhammer experts.

Start video

“No idea why Space Marines are depicted as slow”

The biggest criticism is directed at the poster boys of Warhammer and Space Marine 2: the titular Space Marines. In particular, two points are being criticized by lore experts:

Armor regenerates, but hit points do not
Space Marines move very sluggishly in the game

Sure, these are gameplay-relevant aspects that are meant to ensure balance and game feel. Playing as a two-and-a-half-meter-tall super soldier feels more impressive when you move slowly and “powerfully”.

In lore, Space Marines are literally genetically engineered superhumans and can “move faster than the human eye can perceive” – which particularly means striking faster, not necessarily running. However, weapons like energy hammers are incredibly slow in the game.

In addition, Space Marines can easily recover, making wounds and even fatal injuries virtually irrelevant. The fact that hit points do not regenerate while armor does, is a strange decision.

Overall, important units of the Space Marines are missing: not a single Tech Marine and no Apothecary can be seen on the entire battleship, which is unimaginable for a ship of this size. But not only the Marines are receiving criticism, their weapons – and enemies – are as well:

Bolters actually fire explosive rounds, of which there is none to be seen in the game. Enemies should more often literally explode into clouds of blood.
Tyranids, the foes in Space Marine 2, are a hive mind with a psychic connection to smaller “hosts”. Instead of dying or going wild after the synaptic connection is severed, they simply disappear in the game.
And the cultists of Tzeentch, the God of Magic, Planning, and Deception, who are literally blessed by the Deceiver, are quite bad at setting ambushes.

In a very specific critique, it even revolves around a shield that the Bastion class can carry in co-op. There is a skeleton on the shield – which is normal, as fallen brothers are often honored even in death .

What does not fit, however, is that while the skeleton is Space Marine-sized, it otherwise looks like that of a human. Space Marines would have fused (and significantly thicker) rib cages.

However, the whole fuss is not meant to disparage the game. In the thread, some Warhammer fans are just gathering to exchange ideas about lore details. Space Marine 2 remains one of the best games in the franchise: The 7 best games to enter the world of Warhammer

8 year old MMORPG from Berlin is successful, while the larger competition is disappointing, now it reveals the secret

Karsten Scholz 31. July 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Albion Online is one of the few MMORPGs that have managed to write a success story in the past 10 years. That is the secret!

What is the secret to the success? In an interview marking the 8th anniversary of Albion Online, Christoph Hombergs, Head of Operations at Sandbox Interactive, revealed why the team continues to enjoy increasing player numbers after all these years, while many other MMORPGs from the past decade disappoint.

One reason for the success of Albion Online is, according to Christoph Hombergs, that the game successfully manages to create a balance between risk and reward:

The balance of risk and reward is one of the key issues underlying almost every design decision. […] In general, every activity should feel as if the rewards are worth the risks.

Christoph Hombergs in an interview with mmobomb.com

The majority of players in Albion Online, according to Hombergs, have understood to view their equipment as consumables rather than permanent investments. This makes them much more willing to take risks or engage in risky content.

The success of this balancing act is partly due to a second reason for the success of Albion Online: “The incorporation of community feedback into the game.” According to the Head of Operations, the passionate and engaged community of Albion Online plays an integral role in shaping the MMORPG.

The Black Market is a “Stroke of Genius”

Equally important, according to Christoph Hombergs: The MMORPG performs equally well on PC and mobile devices:

There are no compromises in terms of scope or depth, and that is still something that stands out in the market today.

Christoph Hombergs in an interview with mmobomb.com

Lastly, the Sandbox lead considers a feature of Albion Online to be a “Stroke of Genius”: the Black Market. This addresses a problem that many other sandbox MMORPGs face, namely that adding loot negatively affects the player-driven economy.

The Black Market circumvents this by buying items from players and then dropping them in the world as loot. In other words: the loot that can drop from monsters has still ultimately been produced by another player.

Cleverly: With low-level, relatively worthless items that are often produced, there is a high chance that the Black Market completely removes them from the game. It thus also acts as a so-called “Item Sink,” which helps low-level items retain some value.

What is currently happening with Albion Online? On July 17, 2025, Albion Online turned 8 years old. The developers at Sandbox Interactive from Berlin celebrate the milestone with a retrospective, an in-game party, and the contents of the latest update “Abyssal Depths.”

The latter has reworked the new player experience of the MMORPG to attract more new players to the world of Albion Online. However, the largest player increase in the past year came from the first EU server, which positively impacted not just the number of simultaneous active users, but also the viewer numbers on Twitch.

For the fall, the developers are planning a significant overhaul of the faction warfare to make the central PvP system of the game more exciting, accessible, and rewarding. You can learn more about this at albiononline.com.

Pokémon GO: Tentacool and Tentacruel Find – Here’s How

Max Handwerk 31. July 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, trainers are searching for Tentacool and Diglett. Where are the two hiding?

These are the Pokémon: Both Pokémon are interesting due to the current Adventure Week event.

Tentacool makes its debut in Pokémon. It is the land variant of the Gen-1 classic Tentacruel and belongs to the Grass and Ground types. It evolves into Torterra.
Diglett, on the other hand, is the water version of Diglett. It can evolve into Dugtrio and has been available in Pokémon GO for a while. However, it can now appear as Shiny for the first time.

Both are important Pokémon in the current event. However, they are not easy to find. Some players have such great difficulties finding them that they almost believe they don’t exist (on Reddit).

So: Where are the two hiding? We’ll summarize it for you.

Start video

So sah das Pokémon GO Fest 2025 in Paris aus

Autoplay

Where do you need to search for Tentacool and Diglett?

Here you can find Tentacool: For Tentacool, it is crucial that you visit the biome “Forests and Green Spaces” – and this is not just a kind of game mode, you actually have to go out with your smartphone and for example go to the local forest. In the city, or at the sea, you don’t need to try.

Here you can find Diglett: Diglett, on the other hand, can be found in the biome “Beaches and Waters”. This works well at the sea, but also at local lakes. It is more difficult at rivers, as a Diglett spawn does not seem to be very likely there so far.

Tips for both Pokémon: Sometimes it is not so easy to recognize which biome you are currently in. One tip: You can better identify the biomes by looking at the backgrounds of the wild Pokémon you catch. If a beach is visible in the background, you have a good chance of finding Diglett nearby.

Additionally, you can use the Pokémon radar in the Pokédex and the “Nearby” display to track down both Pokémon. However, the first works only if you have already seen some specimens.

Especially with Diglett, you should plan for longer searches, as this is not a commonly occurring spawn – even in the right biomes.

Developer becomes a millionaire through Steam, explains why he still keeps his 6-year-old computer

Cedric Holmeier 31. July 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

On Steam, there are many different successful indie titles. One developer became a millionaire with his game, but despite the windfall, he still keeps his six-year-old computer that only cost him 1,000 euros back then.

Who is it about? Jordan Morris is the creator of Haiku, the Robot, a hand-drawn Metroidvania with strong Hollow Knight flair and the Stardew Valley-inspired Rusty’s Retirement. With the latter, the developer made his breakthrough and became a millionaire.

According to an interview with Gamesradar, the developer has now sold over 550,000 units. A large number for a solo developer. Although not all of the potentially almost €3.85 million stays with him due to Steam fees, taxes, and different prices in various regions, he still retains a significant sum. However, despite the large amounts of money, the developer has not changed much in his life.

Here you can see the trailer for the game:

Millionaire with an old computer

Why hasn’t the developer changed anything? Although the developer has made a lot of money with a selling price of €7 for Rusty’s Retirement and 550,000 copies sold on Steam, he has changed little in his life. Above all, his gaming PC. He is still using the same computer as before. The computer is now six years old and only cost 1,000 euros back then.

But even in his personal life, the developer has maintained the same lifestyle as before. In an interview with Gamesradar, he reveals:

We literally haven’t done anything different in the last year since Rusty came out. […] We’ve just done the same things we always do. The only thing we’ve spent money on is this apartment, and that’s only because we felt like we should start a family and need something bigger, and if we have the means, we should do that. And that’s it. But I still drive the same car.

Regarding his computer, he explains that it wasn’t cheap at 1,000 euros six years ago and that it still runs well.

What does he do with the money? Instead of spending the money on a higher standard of living, Morris would rather use it to develop more games. He pursues an interesting concept.

When he has an idea for a new game, he gives himself two weeks to develop a prototype that should show whether it is a good or bad idea.

After the two weeks are up, he publishes his prototype and collects feedback from players. If there is enough positive feedback, he continues to develop the prototype into a finished game. This is how Rusty’s Retirement was created back then. In the future, he will likely continue to stick to his successful model.
