In Pokémon GO, you will soon be able to obtain the golden bottle cap for the first time. However, it seems that this cannot be used on a certain type of Pokémon.
What is the golden bottle cap? Recently, the golden bottle cap and the accompanying Super Special Training for Pokémon GO were announced. This allows you to increase the stats of a Pokémon.
You can obtain it for the first time in the GO-Pass-Deluxe during the event “Ancient Legacy.” However, you will need to opt for the paid version of the pass, which has already caused frustration in the community.
A new leak now suggests that you cannot use the item on a certain type of Pokémon at all. An official Niantic source also supports this theory.

“That was the only reason I even considered making the purchase”
What kind of restriction is this? In a recent post on Reddit, various texts are shown that originate from data mining of Pokémon GO. These are leaks that players have found while searching through the game’s files, even if they are not yet actively found in the game itself.
One of the found texts reads, “Shadow Pokémon cannot undergo Hyper Training,” which translates to “Crypto-Pokémon cannot undergo Super Special Training.” This leads to the assumption that Crypto-Pokémon are excluded from the new feature.
What does Pokémon GO say about it? So far, there has been neither an official confirmation nor a denial in the Pokémon GO blog regarding whether Crypto-Pokémon can undergo Super Special Training. However, in the Help Center of Pokémon GO, the following passage can also be found:
“Crypto-Pokémon and Pokémon that already have a 4-star rating cannot undergo Super Special Training.”
Since this is an official page from Niantic, it can be assumed that the leak is correct and the golden bottle cap cannot be used on Crypto-Pokémon.
What does the community say about it? The text of the leak causes frustration in the community, as many Pokémon are excluded from using the item. Some comments under the post on Reddit include:
“Uff, I was really looking forward to training my Crypto-Apex Ho-Oh or Lugia. We only have one each,” says Gransmithy
“That was the only reason I had even considered buying this pass. Good thing I read this thread and can save the money instead of having an unpleasant surprise when I want to use it,” replies FiveSuitSamus to the previous comment
“To be fair, the Pokémon GO team should mention this restriction in the blog post when they introduce it,” writes TheRealHankWolfman

Do you leave your teammates in World of Warcraft often in the lurch? That will have consequences soon. Because everyone can see what a scoundrel you are.
There are few things in World of Warcraft as annoying as “Leavers.” These are players who suddenly leave the group in the middle of a dungeon run for various reasons. This is particularly frustrating during a “Mythic+” dungeon run as you cannot bring in other characters and the timer continues to tick away.
These “Dungeon Leavers” are a problem for the entire community. Therefore, you will be branded in the future if you leave dungeons too often.
Start video
Only 6 people have a success in WoW – and they don’t know why
What is the problem? Leaving a Mythic+ dungeon prematurely for any reason is frustrating for the entire group. Because without the last character, the group can hardly complete the dungeon. So, you have thrown away all the effort the group has put in so far and left 4 other people dissatisfied.
Until now, there hasn’t been a penalty for this, as in “Mythic+” everyone is responsible for who they invite into the group. However, that will change, as the community saw this as a problem that Blizzard is now responding to.
What will the penalty be? In an interview with wowhead, Blizzard roughly presented the changes and plans. In the first version of the system, Blizzard will “brand” your account if you leave Mythic+ dungeons too often. If you often disappear before completing, your account will receive a warning that will be displayed in the group search tool: “This person often leaves dungeons prematurely.”
This way, everyone will receive a warning about who they invite into the group. Effectively, this will ensure that the respective people receive fewer invitations.
Can you get rid of the penalty? Yes, that is also possible. You need to complete a certain number of Mythic+ dungeons without leaving early. Then the marking will be removed from the account. However, this will be quite challenging if you cannot rely on friends and acquaintances – as very few will be willing to take a regular “Leaver” along.
Note that Blizzard has only roughly introduced the system so far. Exact details will likely be revealed in the coming weeks.
What if you want to give up? However, there are also dungeons where it becomes clear that you cannot succeed. Sometimes the group chemistry simply doesn’t work, or maybe the “M+15” is indeed a size bigger than what your green-geared character can handle.
In that case, there is the option of a new vote. Here, the entire group can collectively decide if they want to abandon the current dungeon. In that case, the group will be amicably dissolved, and none of the participants will receive a penalty.
The new season for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is now being launched on consoles with a new trailer. However, the anticipation for it is relatively low – and one even felt briefly like they were in the wrong film.
Which trailer are we talking about? It refers to the new launch trailer for the Wurm Cult Seasons – Part 1 for Elder Scrolls Online. The very first season of the ESO MMORPG already started on PC and Mac on June 2, 2025, and players on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S have had access to the new content since June 18, 2025.
You can see the trailer here:

How are the reactions? There isn’t much anticipation for the new season, at least not under the new trailer on YouTube.
Dabberz1 writes: “I useto be so addicted to this game. Ive got around 3000 hrs in it. Yet now im sooo glad I stopped playing like 7 years ago.”
maxluthor6800 briefly thought he was watching a completely different trailer: “For a second i thought this was the trailer for Avengers doomsday”, which might be due to the many greens (the color of Dr. Doom in Marvel Comics) and the masked wizard.
On the official PlayStation YouTube channel, the trailer only has 292 likes and 172 dislikes (as of June 19, 9:50 AM) and around 10,300 views.
Fresh area with new challenge
What innovations does the season bring? With the mysterious island of Solstice, there is a completely new area for The Elder Scrolls Online. The story you experience there ties into the main plot from 2014 and brings back a growing Worm Cult.
The Ossein Cage offers a new PvE challenge: The trial for 12 players can be found in the western Solstice, but from there it leads to Coldhaven.
In Solstice, there are among other things 16 new antiquities (three of them mythic), new item sets, as well as crafting styles and companions to collect.
While you are in Solstice, you will receive a 10% experience bonus all year round.
In parallel to the season, the free update 46 is also going live, which grants all players access to the new subclasses, the furnishing storage, support for mods for consoles, and the new systems for returning players.
On June 30, 2025, the new update “Abyssal Depths” will be released for Albion Online. If the developers’ plan works out, it could be particularly worthwhile to try out the MMORPG from Berlin for the first time.
What are the developers planning? One goal of the upcoming update “Abyssal Depths” is to significantly improve the experience for new players in the now 8-year-old MMORPG and to enable earlier access to certain content. They aim to achieve this with the following adjustments:
The Albion Journal will be expanded with a new category: “First Steps”. This way, the game offers clear paths after the tutorial that introduce you deeper into the PvE, PvP, and crafting systems and better explain important mechanics. New milestones will help keep motivation high.
The tutorial will be revamped: less text and information, optimized UI, lower focus on collecting and crafting.
Further UI adjustments will improve usability and accessibility.
The tracking system for level 3 mobs has been added in the blue and yellow zones.
Players can view the island features via the exhibition island before buying one.
The requirements for item power for the arena and the corrupted dungeons of the hunters have been lowered.
The learning point system will be revamped, with fewer limits and a clearer structure.
In a video of over 7 minutes, the developers present these and other improvements in detail, be sure to check it out on YouTube.

What else does “Abyssal Depths” bring? Improving the player experience for newcomers is just one part of the new update. New high-risk dungeon variants will be introduced with the depths, where not only monsters but also enemy player groups looking for the treasures are waiting for you. The deeper you venture, the higher the risk and the better the loot.
The new Antiquarian cave provides a kind of gateway to Albion’s most cursed trials: the depths, hellgates, and corrupted dungeons. This feature should make it easier for you to find teammates for the content and reach them quickly with your group. The connected city bank also allows you to easily deposit your loot or re-equip.
For some time now, the MMORPG from Berlin has also had servers in Europe – incredible!

Those who dare into the respective content through the Antiquarian cave can earn reputation for the namesake Antiquarian and gain access to devilish rewards. These include:
• A devilishly looking avatar and the matching avatar ring • Demon cloak emblem (T4–T8) • Two baby spiders that are said to grow into speedy mounts: the Hellcrawler, a creature from the hellish depths, and the rare Soulspinner, a gluttonous spider creature that feeds on lost souls.
Last but not least, the real lightning hammer and the star gaze staff will introduce 2 new crystal weapons to the game, allowing you new playstyles. An overview of all the new features of the update can also be found at albiononline.com.
The MMORPG from Germany has been able to write an impressive success story since its launch in July 2017 and attract increasingly more players to its servers. One of Albion Online’s strengths, in our view, is the economy.

The Twitch streamer Trymacs talked in his podcast about why he only watches himself on the TikTok platform.
In his podcast “Offline + Ehrlich”, which he runs together with Twitch streamers Florian “Varion” Kiesow and Sascha “unsympathischTV” Hellinger, Trymacs explained that he would only spend “5-10 minutes on TikTok.” He has trained his TikTok algorithm to show him only clips of himself.
These are always clips from his latest streams, whether they are his own or others where he was a guest. After that, only “brutal shit” comes, as Trymacs says, and he would close the app.

“Only 5-10 minutes on TikTok”
Why does Trymacs watch himself on TikTok? Trymacs further explained that he only watches clips of himself to get feedback from outside the community. According to him, the hate on TikTok is huge when a clip of him goes around.
These “haters” would never watch an entire Twitch stream of Trymacs but would be able to comment under TikToks about him. This “feedback,” as he calls it, seems to interest the Twitch streamer.
For example, Trymacs was in the final of a quiz show organized by Papaplatte and answered most of the questions incorrectly. Through the comments under the TikTok, Trymacs can see how people react to him. Whether they understood the time pressure Trymacs was under, whether they found it funny that he didn’t know something, or whether they would just get aggressive.
His podcast colleague Varion aptly summarized the situation: “So you basically look at a monitor for 12 hours and see yourself, and then you close it to go to TikTok to see you again.” (on Spotify from minute 06:00).
The first season of the Anime of Yu-Gi-Oh! may have been seen by some of you in the midday program of RTLZWEI. But have you ever counted who was actually the best duelist from Season 1?
Yu-Gi-Oh! is not only a successful anime, but also a popular card game, for which major tournaments are still held today. The journey began in 2003 on RTLZWEI, at least in Germany. We could witness numerous duels, in which the rules of the official trading card game were not always taken very seriously – similar to real life.
What was the ranking based on? MeinMMO examined all duels from the anime and created a top 5 of the best duelists. We chose the absolute total number of victories as the ranking. Only duels from the original anime, including its fillers, were considered. Therefore, there are no characters that appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or any subsequent anime.
For some duelists, we could not provide an exact number, as the circumstances of a victory or defeat were ambiguous. One example is the duel between Mai Valentine and Tea Gardner: Mai voluntarily surrendered, but she would have won the duel under normal circumstances.
Initially, we considered making the win rate dependent on the placement. However, that would have put Tea Gardner with 100% in first place, as she won all three of her duels (if you count Mai’s surrender). But that would be unfair to the other characters who had to duel much more often.

The 5 best duelists from Yu-Gi-Oh!
5th Place: Yami Marik
Victories: 3
The antagonist is pure evil.
Yami Marik is the personality formed from the hatred of Marik Ishtar. He is the main antagonist in the Battle City arc and unlike Yami Yugi and Yami Bakura, is not bound to a Millennium Item. His best card is The Winged Dragon of Ra.
If we do not count the duel with Tea, in which Mai Valentine would actually have won, Yami Marik already has 3 victories in 5th place. He won his duels during the Battle City Finals, including against Mai, Yami Bakura, and Joey Wheeler.
However: In reality, Joey Wheeler would have also won the duel, but he became unconscious before the decisive attack command. Depending on the perspective, Yami Marik would have to share 5th place with Tea.
4th Place: Mai Valentine
Victories: > 5
Mai undergoes a strong transformation.
Mai Valentine undergoes a strong transformation in the anime. At first, she is arrogant, egocentric, and fixated on the prize money of the tournament. Over time, however, she learns to appreciate her friends more and becomes a loyal companion. In her duels, she relies on a Harpie deck.
Some of her victories were not directly shown in the series, but took place in the background. At the beginning of the series, for example, she tricked Rex Raptor out of his luxurious cabin on the ship by winning a duel.
She was able to achieve further victories when she won her star chips or qualified for the final rounds of the Battle City tournament. Therefore, the number of her victories is difficult to estimate, but in any case, she is the strongest female duelist from the anime.

The largest raid boss that World of Warcraft has ever seen. This is what awaits us in the next major patch when we travel to the planet K’aresh.
It is an old joke that melee fighters in boss fights in World of Warcraft often can’t see anything more than the foot of the enemy because they can be so gigantic. In the next patch 11.2 “Ghosts of K’aresh”, Blizzard apparently thought, “Can we go even bigger?”
And yes, it can get bigger: The next final boss is as large as the city of Stormwind.

Antagonist from Burning Crusade makes an appearance
What kind of boss is this? We are talking about Lord Dimensius of the Void. This is an antagonist that long-time fans should already be familiar with if they have attentively played the quests from “The Burning Crusade” or have engaged intensely with Xal’atath and her story.
Dimensius is the (so far) only known Void Lord that has already consumed a World Soul. He was summoned into reality by Xal’atath and devoured the World Soul of K’aresh. This not only destroyed the planet but the magics of the incident also created the people of the Astrals – they were originally entirely different beings but lost their physical forms through the battle against Dimensius.
Dimensius in the raid – the fight is expected to take gigantic measures.
Dimensius is impressive. You’ve never seen a boss like this, it will be an absolute feast for the eyes. It’s an incredible fight. Our combat designers, effects artists, sound designers, and dungeon artists, that’s an entire army of people who have put a tremendous amount of work into this and I can hardly wait for the player community to experience it.
Regarding the size of the boss, they were then even more specific:
It all ends in a cosmic battle against Dimensius, the largest boss we have ever created. He is … as big as Stormwind.
When can players experience the boss fight? Until we can make our way into the raid “Manaforged Omega”, it should take about 6 to 8 weeks. Blizzard aims to release a new patch approximately every 8 weeks. Since the Update 11.1.7 has only been live since last Wednesday, the patch 11.2 is likely to be scheduled for mid-August.

What is the game actually about? At the beginning, you build your airplane. The game gives you a lot of freedom:
You choose from various components that you can place freely. This allows you to determine where things like wings or your engine should be located.
From biplanes to jets, many different designs are possible, including some very crazy ones, as HandOfBlood has proven.
However, not everything with wings and an engine flies in the end. You still need to pay attention to physical aspects such as aerodynamics and the weight of your machine.
Once your airplane is ready for takeoff, you can take off immediately. In the open game world, missions await you, for completing which you earn money. With it, you unlock new parts that make your plane faster, increase your cargo space, or allow you to fly further.
For those who just want to build without constraints, there is also a creative mode. Here, you don’t need to worry about your resources. Many features will be added before the final release, including helicopters and first-person flying.
The Predator is one of the most well-known monsters of all time, alongside the Xenomorph, appearing not only in movies but also in other works. However, there is more to the hunter from space than just a nasty alien.
The Predator first appeared in 1987 in the film “Predator” by John McTiernan. In the South American jungle, a special forces unit must rescue survivors of a plane crash. The special forces unit is led by Dutch, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The mission turns out to be more difficult than expected. A highly advanced alien, the Predator, is hunting the members of the special forces unit.
Unlike monstrous aliens that act instinctively, the Predator was methodical, trained, and intelligent. Behind the first Predator was a man in a suit.

English trailer for Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger
The Man Behind the Mask
Who is behind the Predator? The first Predator seen on the big screen was not a puppet or CGI; he was played by Kevin Peter Hall. Sci-fi fans might know him as Leyor from Starship Enterprise: The Next Generation. Due to his stature of almost 2.2 m, he previously played Bigfoot in Harry and the Hendersons.
In a behind-the-scenes feature (source: YouTube), Carl Weathers explains that he was the perfect choice and convincingly showed with makeup and costume that Schwarzenegger was in danger in the film. Hall also portrayed a variant of the alien in the second installment. For the costume, Hall didn’t need to be wired.
The most important feature of the Predator is the head, which consists not only of the mask but also of the insect-like skull behind it.
As explained by the Stan Winston School of Character Arts in a blog, the design of the Predator was inspired by paintings of Rastafari warriors that producer Joel Silver had in his office. The Predator consisted of a costume and a mechanical head that included tusks, a mouth mechanism, and an animatronic face.
To move the mouth of the Predator, a servo motor was installed to animate individual parts. Together with the artificial skin that was laid over the mechanical head and the design, the insect-like look of the head was created.
But that was only the beginning of the Predator. Beyond the cinematic representation, a whole universe developed around the sci-fi monster.

The Predator was so popular that a whole universe formed around him
What exactly is the Predator? The Predators are known in their lore as Yautja. Their home planet is called Yautja Prime. They are an alien species specializing in hunting. The hunt is treated like a sport or a sacred ritual. The prey is observed, stalked, and ultimately hunted.
The Yautja are more technologically advanced than humans and use not only futuristic weapons but also gadgets like a thermal vision helmet and the ability to become invisible. As seen in several films, they also use spears or other rudimentary weapons for hunting. Once they have hunted a target, they take a trophy, often in the form of bones.
Predators are larger and physically stronger than humans, can live significantly longer, and communicate through the iconic clicking sound from their mouths. They presumably reproduce like other mammals, but there has been no detailed explanation of this in any work.
The Yautja have different clans that vary in their hunting strategies and territories. Although they are technologically advanced, their culture resembles ancient warrior tribes. In the book about Alien vs. Predator, it is also revealed that they worship a war god (via Screen Rant).
Do the Predators have a hierarchy? Yes, within the clans and on Yautja Prime, the worth of an individual Yautja is equated with their hunting successes. In the latest film of the franchise, Killer of Killers, it is shown that there is a king.
The film depicts him starting the battle of three humans in an arena and that he has a special ship. He also commands other Yautja. However, it is unclear whether he commands multiple clans or just one quite large one (source: avpcentral.com).
Are there rules that the Predators must follow? The Yautja have a code of honor that they adhere to, sometimes more, sometimes less. There are rules that should be considered when hunting.
Innocents may not be hunted. It is unclear what exactly is considered innocent, but since one wants to profile oneself with the hunted, it makes sense to only hunt opponents who can defend themselves.
As hunters, Yautja should act in invisibility. Their actions should not be publicly seen.
As a sacred ritual, a Yautja should only focus on the hunt.
Weapons and equipment must be reclaimed.
Killed clan members should be retrieved.
One should hunt alone or in a small group; large groups are considered dishonorable.
The hunt should largely be fair for both sides. Technology should not prevent the prey from having a chance.
Other Yautja should not be killed unless they have violated clan customs and have been sentenced to death.
If a human manages to defeat a Yautja, they seem to show respect. In Predator 2, Mike Harrigan received a gun from other Yautja after he killed his hunter. In Killer of Killers, three humans who successfully killed a Yautja are taken to an arena to fight each other. The winner would have the honor of fighting the king.
How can I learn more about the Predator? Besides all the movies (the latest was released just this year), there are many games, books, and comics about the Predator. Especially in the comics, there are many stories with various outcomes. There are also crossovers with Marvel heroes, but with the Predator, many quickly think of another alien: Alien: Everything you need to know about the legendary Xenomorph

The Empire in Warhammer 40,000 has absurdly large dimensions. Of course, it requires a lot of bureaucracy to manage, but also a police force that enforces laws. These are the Adeptus Arbites, who surely do not act as friends and helpers.
A large part of the galaxy belongs to the Imperium of Man, which spans many sectors. Although there are different customs in various corners of the Imperium, one thing is the same everywhere: imperial law.
Every loyal servant of the Imperium must pay a tithe, contact with Xenos is strictly forbidden, and the authorities must be obeyed. The fact that heresy is punishable by death is to be expected.
In order to enforce laws and administer justice in such a vast empire, a genuine force of police officers and judges is needed. The Adeptus Arbites are that force: legal experts familiar with 10,000 years of imperial jurisprudence and enforcers of that jurisprudence in the Imperium.
In two games set in Warhammer 40,000, you can play as Arbites: The co-op shooter Darktide gets Arbitrators as a class and in the role-playing game Rogue Trader, the new companion in the DLC “Lex Imperialis” will be a member of the Adeptus Arbites. And even though this may sound like law and order are coming to the forefront, that is certainly not the case for citizens.
Start video
Der Cinematic zur neuen Klasse in Warhammer 40.000: Darktide, dem Adeptus Arbites
The police for whom murder is beneath their dignity
The task of the Arbites is to enforce imperial law. This means they do not deal with local problems at all. If trouble arises on a planet, it is primarily the governor and his task force’s problem.
“Normal” crimes like murder, slavery, theft, etc., are only relevant to the Arbites when the production quotas of the world are threatened. Not even during a coup do the Arbites intervene as long as the usurper is loyal to the Imperium, for a weak leader is ultimately removed. The Arbites become active when:
the planet fails to fulfill its obligations to the Imperium
imperial law is broken, for example by negotiating with Xenos without sanction
drugs become rampant – and thus reduce the tributes
When the Arbites intervene, they do so with violence, and most often death is the only punishment imposed. Imperial law is enforced with all might, and the Adeptus Arbites do not even hesitate before the powerful.
Arbitrators and judges have the right to hold even free traders accountable, who otherwise have free rein. Judges can even execute planetary governors or members of the Adeptus Terra, the imperial administration to which they are supposed to adhere.
Only the strong and class thugs become Arbites
Members of the Adeptus Arbites can be roughly divided into two areas: judges, who have expertise in jurisprudence and law, and Arbitrators, the military arm of the organization. Especially experienced members will eventually embody both.
Willingness to use violence is a requisite trait for most Arbites. Many of them are recruited in the Schola Progenum, the institutions for war orphans, where imperial doctrine is instilled in the children from an early age, and where they are physically and mentally hardened daily – often violently.
Accordingly, the equipment of the Adeptus Arbites consists not only of non-lethal protection weapons such as shock batons and storm shields but also of military hardware such as:
bolters, grenade launchers, and powerful shotguns
cybernetically enhanced cyber-hounds
battle tanks, automatic turrets, and war aircraft
By the way: The Arbites are heavily inspired by the British comic hero Judge Dredd – just in the grimy Warhammer version.
People who enforce the word of the Emperor personally
The foundation on which the Arbites make their decisions is the Lex Imperialis, imperial law. Allegedly, it is the word of the Emperor himself, which is supposed to be enforced during his “imprisonment” on the Golden Throne.
The Lex Imperialis comprises so many laws that it is nearly impossible to know all the laws at any given time – especially since many jurisdictions contradict each other. Until a judge reaches a judgment in a complex case, it can sometimes take decades or longer. In extreme cases, a court case is the lifetime work of a single judge, which he then passes on to a successor before his death to find a resolution.
In most cases, the Lex Imperialis shows no mercy, and many offenses are punishable by death. And even though this may sound terrible: Arbites are bound by this law and are correspondingly “fairer” than the Inquisition may be in many cases.
If you want to experience what it is like to be an Arbites or work with them, you should check out Darktide or Rogue Trader. In both games, Arbitrators are available and they are among the best games to get into the world of Warhammer 40,000.

The development of a character in World of Warcraft is not well received by the fans. A great hero from the past behaves quite differently.
In World of Warcraft, the latest Patch 11.1.7 went live this past Wednesday, bringing with it the 1-Button Assistant as well as a new campaign centered around the Highlands of Arathi. In it, we encounter some notable characters from the Warcraft universe, such as Danath Trollbane.
He undergoes a development that many players feel is too quick. His 180° turnaround makes some declare, “This feels really, really bad.”

Who is this about? This is about Danath Trollbane (actually “Danath Dungalion”). He is a legendary character from the lore of World of Warcraft, having been one of the most important characters in Warcraft I and II. He is considered a fervent enemy of the Horde. He led one of the internment camps and risked his life to prevent the Orcs from leaving their dying world to protect Azeroth from them.
In more recent times (Battle for Azeroth), he returned to the Arathi Highlands and reclaimed Stromgarde and parts of the land for the Alliance. He is basically the king of Arathi.

Just the first few lines of the quest: “The sons of Lothar have always stood for tolerance and mercy.” “Dude, Danath, you led internment camps.” “Did the writers even play the games?”
Many are reminded of Sylvanas’s trajectory, who quickly went from a beloved character to one of the most disliked.
Others also find the message conveyed in the quests questionable, as one reading from MetalBawx comes to this conclusion regarding peace with the Mag’har:
The story mentions the internment camps but does not explain why they even happened, as if the authors hope we forget what we saw in [Warcraft I and II] or even Warlords of Draenor, that it only took a little of the Legion to turn the Orcs into monsters.
The message is confusing: rewarding invaders is good if it brings peace.
Many also feel that the conflict is handled very stupidly and have the impression that behind the quest there is more a moral sermon than a well-thought-out story, as Aelexe emphasizes:
This just feels like the latest episode of “War is bad, conflict is bad, racism is bad” without any nuance. Once again, we beat up the latest villain and absolutely nothing is done to address the origins of the conflict. […]
None of them acknowledge that the last time we were here in the Arathi Highlands, one of them ordered me to kill the other.
Particularly popular is SincubusSilvertongue’s wish for a few more elements found in real-world conflicts:
I hate this kind of peace in stories. This is one of the few times they should bring in some elements from the real world. A peace through politics, common benefits, and a respectable share of stubbornness would have worked well here. […] I want there to be peacemakers, antagonists, people seeking their personal benefit, changing opinions, things significant enough to discuss, and real diplomacy. […] All we have now are monotonous, predictable stories, with monotonous and predictable characters.
Many are dissatisfied with the story of World of Warcraft in this patch and would have preferred a different handling of this conflict. The concern is great that such rather weak narratives could also appear in the next expansion Midnight.
However, one should also realize that this is merely a smaller patch meant to tell a side story. Nevertheless, the dissatisfaction in the community is clearly noticeable. Sometimes stories are not only monotonous in WoW but also plain “fails”: We have the 5 biggest story fails from WoW here for you.

In Fortnite there are many modes and LTMs, but none were as popular in Chapter 1 as Team Rumble. Fans associate great moments in this chaotic mode. However, now, after 7 years, Epic Games is removing it from its game catalog.
What was so special about this mode? Upon its release in 2018, Team Rumble was a chaotic mode. Two teams of 16 players each competed against each other to achieve a certain number of kills – usually 100 to 150 eliminations.
So, players landed on the map, looted everything they could, and followed the storm eye to the final zone. Once there, the fun began, as this zone remained until the end of the match. Anyone who landed there was immediately caught in a hail of bullets.
Many players used Team Rumble to quickly complete quests back then. Because after a death, players did not need to start a new round; they simply respawned. This simplified the grind in Fortnite and also provided tons of XP for the Battle Pass.

Players bid a proper farewell
What is the mood of the fans? They are divided. Many mourn the former mode and reflect on how they could relax and complete their quests back then. Some, on the other hand, have already moved on from Team Rumble, as Epic Games began to “destroy” the mode early on. The following voices can be heard on Reddit:
“Yes, I have to agree. I found this mode really fun and played it most of the time. After the changes, I played it less and less. I actually enjoyed having time to loot and explore the map each season without having to worry too much about attacks.” – working4buddha
“I used to play it often to complete my quests. Since the update, I haven’t touched it again.” – Joonberri
“This is really annoying because story quests are becoming more frustrating as you have to do everything there, sometimes even a match after another. Yes, there were no bots, but you could easily complete everything else to finish a quest in TR [Team Rumble]. Boo!” – sophisticated_pie
“It was the first mode I played to quickly get through the Battle Pass of Chapter 1, Season 5. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the building. Zero Build Team Rumble would be fantastic, but I guess that’s in another timeline.” – Outrageous_Usual_710
Is there a replacement for Team Rumble? According to Epic Games, Team Rumble is to be replaced by the new mode “Training Ground”. In this mode, you spawn on a map with countless respawns and fight against other players without building. There are no opinions yet on how well this new mode will replace Team Rumble, but it at least sounds promising.
Are you also upset that Team Rumble was removed? Our MeinMMO author Christos already noted in 2022 that Epic Games was slowly but surely destroying the mode: How Fortnite has destroyed its most popular mode

If you make a certain mistake on the Switch 2, Nintendo might remove an important feature. So be smarter than the players in the community who warn about their own mistake.
What did the players do? On Reddit, a player warns others not to use a Mig-Flash card for the Switch 2. This is a plug-and-play card that can store illegally downloaded games without requiring players to pay for them. As a result, many gamers bypass the prices, which have been raised again with the Switch 2.
However, Nintendo seems to have developed a system to detect such cards. Downloading and playing illegally obtained titles violates the terms of use for the Switch 2, which is why players are now facing a penalty.

Players lose important feature on their Switch 2
What is their penalty? As a Reddit user reports, he can no longer access online features. On his console, these features have been blocked, so he can no longer access the eShop, for example.
Only the error code 2124-4508 is displayed on his console, with the message that Nintendo is disabling the use of online features.
He admits that it was his stupid mistake to go online with the console. It was only then that Nintendo could recognize that an illegal card was being used. However, this only applies to the affected Switch 2 console where the Mig-Flash card was detected.
If he logs in with his account on another console, the online features become usable again. Thus, the ban is console-bound and not account-bound. Nevertheless, it is a painful loss, especially since a Switch 2 console currently costs 469.99 Euros.
What is this good for? In addition to preventing piracy, this function has another benefit. In Bennett (USA), Switch 2 consoles worth over 1 million Euros were stolen from a truck. Nintendo can track down the thieves using this function, as computer science professor Steve Beaty explains (via GameSpot).
Accordingly, Nintendo can disable the consoles via their serial number when they go online. This way, Nintendo can contact the buyers and track down the sellers who stole the goods.
If you use such cards that allow you to play illegally downloaded games, you should not use Nintendo’s online features. Otherwise, you might end up not being able to use this feature at all on the console.

After the release for PS5, Stellar Blade was also released on Steam. A large part of the mods makes Eve lose her already scant outfits. The CEO of developer ShiftUp does not find this troubling at all.
What does the head of Stellar Blade think about nude mods? In an interview with the South Korean team from This Is Game, ShiftUP CEO Hyung-Tae Kim was asked if he intends to impose sanctions against mods that go “beyond the age rating for adults”.
The CEO responded that Stellar Blade is not suitable for minors anyway. Therefore, he sees no justification to punish the 41% of mods that remove Eve’s shells. In general, he has a positive attitude towards mods. However, there are cases where he also has a limit.

The head of Stellar Blade does not want to see a certain type of mod
Which mods does he mean? Hyung-Tae Kim has no problem with nude mods, unlike protagonist Eve. However, there is one type where he draws the line:
“However, there are cases where they border on hacking or disrupt normal gameplay. In these cases, we ask users to exercise caution when applying such changes. In principle, there would be no strict rules for mods, as long as they only increase game speed, for example.”
Are there mods that the CEO still misses? In fact, Kim is still dissatisfied with the selection of mods. According to him, modders lack firepower. He misses mods that “subtly change the way the game is enjoyed” or “expand the gaming experience in meaningful ways.”
Nevertheless, he emphasizes again that he thinks mods that bring new costumes or monster graphics into the game are cool. So to all the nude modders out there: You can proceed with peace of mind, as there will be no penalties for that!
What do others say about it? In the comments on Reddit, the CEO’s attitude is well-received. They believe that mods should not be regulated.
Many users find that the CEO becomes more likeable every time they read something from him. After all, he is “a Gooner at heart,” like the rest of the community, according to user LightsJusticeZ.
With GTA Online, Rockstar provided its fans with new content for over a decade and kept them engaged while the studio worked on GTA 6. But did you know that the mode took over 20 years of development?
What is so special about GTA Online? After GTA 5 had finished telling its story, Rockstar introduced a new mode: GTA Online. This mode allows its fans to create a protagonist with whom they can live an outlaw life in Los Santos. Besides heists, drug trading, or mini-games, players can also simply enjoy life in Los Santos and play together with their friends.
You might think that an online mode in a game would not be a problem by today’s standards. But Rockstar had already tried to implement an online mode with GTA 3.

Rockstar Games presents GTA 6 in the second trailer
This is what he described on X.com: ‘For GTA 3, I developed a prototype for a simple deathmatch. Players could kill each other, pull them out of cars, and respawn in the city. It was promising… but we ran out of time. We needed lobbies, network-capable scripts, etc. We decided to reduce the effort.’
But that was not the end of it. With Vice City, it was supposed to be done this time. According to Vermeij, they even hired developers to take care of the multiplayer code. Unfortunately, the deadlines were tight again, so the project was canceled once more.
For GTA San Andreas, the topic was not taken up again, as it was the last title on the platform and not worth the effort – a co-op mode was supposed to be enough at the time.
With GTA 4, they finally succeeded. Four programmers and many level designers were hired to create the mode. However, it did not resemble the mode that Rockstar had envisioned. That only started with the release of GTA Online in 2013.
Will there be GTA Online for GTA 6? Although this mode has not yet been confirmed by Rockstar itself, it is strongly assumed that the developers are working on an alternative online mode.
The current expansion Dawntrail for Final Fantasy XIV has been facing backlash from the community since its release. With the latest patch, new reviews have also arrived on Steam. The well-known YouTuber Zepla is now reacting to an article about it and criticizing what fans have loved about the devs for years.
Who is Zepla? The YouTuber and Twitch streamer Zepla is one of the most prominent content creators for Final Fantasy XIV. According to her own statements, she switched from World of Warcraft to the Japanese MMORPG between 2015 and 2016 and became captivated by the story from the Heavensward patches starting at 3.2.
At the start of her channels, she primarily published guides and comedy videos, which helped many players get into the world of Eorzea and introduced them to the advantages of Final Fantasy XIV. She currently has over 302,000 subscribers on YouTube as ZeplaHQ and an additional 76,000 on her highlight channel ZepLIVE, along with around 261,000 followers on her Twitch channel (as of June 18, 2025, 11:30 AM CEST).
What’s going on with Final Fantasy XIV? Recently, an article from Gamesradar+ highlighted the negative reviews on Steam regarding the expansion. According to the article, the ratings on Steam have dropped to “mostly negative” since the release of patch 7.25.
Editorial note on the reviews on Steam
We could not confirm the ratings, as Dawntrail currently has 51% positive votes overall and 41% in recent reviews labeled as “Mixed” in Germany (as of June 18, 2025, 11:30 AM CEST) (see Steam). Nevertheless, there were times when the expansion also had the rating of “mostly negative”.
She is sure: The story makes weaknesses more visible that have actually existed in FF14 for years.

“It is far below the standard that the game has set”
What does Zepla criticize? In her video on YouTube, Zepla discusses the mentioned article with her community and shares her opinion on it. Although she has not played the new content Krezentia, she has informed herself within the community and followed the discussions.
She shares that many players would find the new content boring, monotonous, and too grind-heavy, without real innovations compared to similar contents from past expansions like Bozja or Eureka. For many, it feels like “the same game again”.
The streamer agrees, as these points lead her back to things she has considered a major weakness of the game for years: The “formula” of FFXIV has remained the same for years – something that, in her opinion, was previously compensated by the strong story (e.g., in Shadowbringers) is now more pronounced due to the overall weaker story of Dawntrail, as she sees it as “far below the standard that the game has set”.

Additionally, she criticizes that the developers respond too much to the community’s wishes without bringing in their own creative impulses. The mere fulfillment of player demands without real innovation, in her opinion, leads to a content cycle that lacks ideas.
In particular, Zepla sees this as the reason for the feeling of alienation among players from FFXIV. A real fresh start or new ideas would be urgently needed to rekindle enthusiasm and win players back.
This is how MeinMMO editor Alexander Schürlein sees the issue
As a long-time raider and player of Final Fantasy XIV, I can understand the feeling. The MMORPG has followed certain patterns for years that can also be well predicted. However, I do not agree with the opinion that creativity is entirely lacking. Because even though Dawntrail contains a lot of “more of what has already worked,” the fights in dungeons, raids, and other content still feel fresh.
You can tell that the developers are trying to stick to their own system while still providing Aha moments and new impressions. Especially the new raid series has so far convinced me as a player of challenging content. And yes: the story is tedious, but it is also the beginning of something new, and that may just need some time. For my part, I have not completely given up on Dawntrail and hold on to the hope that much can still happen in the future.

The price of Borderlands 4 recently occupied both the CEO of the company and the community. Although the new shooter costs no more than its predecessor, a new edition for 130 euros is annoying the community.
In Germany, however, the most expensive edition costs 129.99 € and includes DLCs as well as skins and outfits for the characters in the game. The CEO has now introduced a new additional Collector’s Edition for 130 € that doesn’t even include the game.

130 euros for merchandise
What has the CEO presented? Borderlands 4 has another, fourth edition in the USA that costs around 130 €. The bundle presented by the CEO as the Collector’s Edition “Borderlands 4 ECHO-4” is exclusively available at GameStop in the USA.
In a post on X.com, Randy Pitchford writes: “The Collector’s Edition of Borderlands 4 can be pre-ordered at GameStop. It’s pretty cool and will probably sell out quickly, so get it if you’re interested.”
Included are:
ECHO-4 Statue: A 20 cm tall replica of the drone companion ECHO-4 from Borderlands 4. It can be displayed as decor, and its eyes light up when powered via the included USB-C cable.
Vault Symbol Necklace: A chrome necklace featuring the Vault symbol from Borderlands, attached to a 50 cm long stainless steel chain.
Map of Kairos: A 43 cm large polyester map depicting the planet Kairos from Borderlands 4. It shows the four different regions of the planet.
Set of 4 double-sided lithographic art prints: This set includes four art prints measuring 20 cm x 25 cm. They showcase the new Vault Hunters from Borderlands 4 – Vex, Rafa, Harlowe, and Amon – and are printed on both sides.
SHiFT code for 5 Golden Keys in Borderlands 4: An included SHiFT code that can be redeemed in the game Borderlands 4. It grants five Golden Keys to open the Golden Chest in the game for random gear that corresponds to the character’s level.
What is missing is the game itself and any DLCs or skins in the game. The Collector’s Edition for 130 € costs as much as the Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition on Steam, but even true fans will still have to buy the game separately.
How are fans reacting to the bundle? After the debate about the price, fans are now annoyed that the Collector’s Edition doesn’t even include the base game. On X.com, fans are venting their frustration:
Byrd says on X.com: “It’s pretty lame that the base game isn’t included, but I have to say, it’s a cool statue. Can we play rock, paper, scissors at the fan fest so I can win one?”
Ki11er Six writes on X.com: “Wait… why is the game NOT included?”
Soul is puzzled on X.com: “The Borderlands 4 Collector’s Edition doesn’t include Borderlands 4? Someone needs to explain this to me.”
Kodeations asks on X.com: “I’m a bit confused as to why the game shouldn’t be included, even if it would increase the bundle price?”
The explanation can be found on Reddit. There, user Magnon explains: “They often don’t do this nowadays so that you can play on release day, regardless of whether the Collector’s Edition has arrived or not. Kind of strange, but a lot of people want to play immediately.”
In fact, this keeps happening. Titles like Battlefield 1, Fallout 76, and Diablo 4 have sold Collector’s Editions without the main game. In Borderlands 4, however, the designation by CEO Randy Pitchford seems a bit misleading.
Instead of Collector’s Edition, the product should probably be called Merchandise Bundle, and it is officially sold as such by GameStop. On the GameStop product page, it does not state that the bundle is supposed to be a Collector’s Edition, even though the CEO markets it that way.
The fancy pirate dragon in World of Warcraft was supposed to be available only after 5 weeks. But some players have already obtained it after just a few hours.
In World of Warcraft, Patch 11.1.7 has just gone live and brought a series of new features. Among them is a fancy mount – a black dragon dressed as a pirate. You were originally supposed to take 5 weeks to achieve this, but players have already got it after two hours.

What kind of mount is this? The Chrono Corsair is a new mount from Patch 11.1.7. The dark dragon has pirate equipment and first appeared as a boss in the Tazavesh dungeon in Shadowlands. Since then, many fans have wished to obtain this dragon as a mount.
The mount is available for completing the achievement “Master of the Turbulent Timeways 3.” For this achievement, you need to maintain a stackable buff from Timewalking dungeons over 5 weeks. Actually. Because just a few hours after the patch release, the first players already have the fancy mount in their possession.

Why do some accounts already have it? More and more accounts are already showing off the mount. It seems that it is already possible to complete the achievement and obtain the mount simply by continuously visiting Timewalking dungeons. Sooner or later, you will gain more progress towards the achievement and thus eventually receive the reward, even though you technically shouldn’t be able to get it yet.
Is this a bug? Yes, very likely. Even though the error does not seem to be completely fixed at the time of this article (12:30 PM), it appears to be just a temporary issue.
