Twitch streamer achieves a very special achievement in Riot games, but they reward him only 2 years later with a skin in LoL

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

League of Legends is not an easy game, especially when you want to reach the highest rank. A streamer wanted not only to achieve that. He managed to reach the highest rank in every online game by Riot and was quite well rewarded in LoL for it.

Which games are involved? On April 17, Twitch streamer Rohangod posted on x.com that he has reached the highest rank in every online game by Riot. These include:

  • Challenger in League of Legends
  • Challenger in Teamfight Tactics
  • Radiant in Valorant
  • Master in Legends of Runeterra
  • Challenger in Wild Rift

At that time, he ironically asked for a medal or for a Riot buddy for his girlfriend. This is a special talisman in Valorant that you can only get from a Riot employee. Now, 2 years later, he was rewarded again for his performance. He received one of the rarest skins in the game for his LoL account.

Streamer receives a skin that had to be earned 13 years ago

What did the Twitch streamer receive? After another streamer, Drututt, was rewarded with the rare skin Silver Kayle for completing a challenge, RohanGod reposted his achievement from 2023 and asked for the “Worlds 2012” Riven skin.

This is a rare skin that could be purchased in 2012 during Season 2. Otherwise, the skin cannot be unlocked regularly, not even through loot chests. The biggest difference to the Reignited Worlds 2012-skin is a crown that you have while playing.

As RohanGod posted on x.com on June 4, 2025, he actually received the skin from Riot. He is extremely happy about it, especially because he wanted the skin since he was 13.

Why is the achievement so remarkable? Back in 2023, it was tough to reach the highest rank in just one of the games, but doing it in all of them is an achievement that only very few players would accomplish. This is mainly due to the radically different genres. 2 MOBAs, a shooter, a card game, and an auto-battler require different skills, strategies, and training. Time is also an extreme factor.

In 2023, he also ranked the games by difficulty and arrived at this ranking:

  1. LoL is the hardest game by Riot
  2. Teamfight Tactics
  3. Valorant and Wild Rift are on the same level
  4. He found it easiest to reach the highest rank in Legends of Runeterra

If you want to at least have the Reignited Worlds 2012-skin, you can acquire it every year during the Worlds.

A player senses his chance for big loot in Dune: Awakening, walks straight into a nasty trap laid by the developers

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

A player apparently heard a loud bang in Dune: Awakening and set out to loot a spaceship that was just crashing. But he did not expect a nasty trap from the developers.

What did the player want to loot? In Dune: Awakening, loud bangs happen rarely. This always occurs when a spaceship crashes and falls from the sky. This bang is so loud that it can be clearly heard by players all around, and it gives every player the chance to spot good loot.

Exactly such a big loot was what a player wanted to loot on Reddit. User XirtCS made his way to such a burning wreck with his sandbike and unknowingly walked into a nasty trap set by the developers.

Here you can find out which class you should choose in Dune: Awakening:

A loud bang also attracts worms

What kind of trap was that? A loud bang and a burning wreck promise a lot of loot, but such an event also attracts the sandworms, who are already waiting for their prey. The player on Reddit had to realize this, as soon as he gets off his sandbike, the worm gauge in the HUD lights up bright red.

No sooner had he dismounted from the bike and with the cutting tool in hand, the player runs to the crashed spaceship and immediately gets to work. He tears open the outer hull and loots the items from the ship’s cargo hold. Meanwhile, the worm threat gauge reaches its peak.

With the loot in his pockets, the player makes his way back, but a large sandworm has already taken up the chase. Just before he reaches a safe rocky area, he sees the worm approaching.

At the last second, the player manages to escape to safety, while the worm rises from the ground only a few meters away from him. He narrowly escaped the worm and kept his loot, because whoever gets eaten by the worm loses everything.

Here you can see the moment as a video:

Was that just coincidence? No, the shipwrecks are meant to consciously attract players by promising good items and loot. But as good as the loot is, the danger from sandworms is meant to be just as high in this case. However, the developers do not explain this mechanic, which can make a crashed spaceship quickly turn into a nasty trap. The loud bang attracts all creatures from Arrakis, not just the players.

Nintendo Switch 2 Expand Storage: Is Buying a Memory Card Worth It?

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

The Nintendo Switch 2 has a large internal memory. But is it worth buying a memory card for the Switch 2? MeinMMO explains for whom the purchase is worthwhile and for whom it is not.

How much storage does the Switch 2 have? The Nintendo Switch 2 comes with 256 GB of internal storage, part of which is occupied by the operating system of the Switch 2. Nevertheless, the Switch 2 has significantly more storage than its predecessors: The Switch offered only 32 GB, the OLED variant at least 64 GB.

But is 256 GB of storage enough at launch, or should one consider buying a memory card? MeinMMO explains whether the upgrade is worth it.

New games require a lot of space on the Switch 2, while indie games do not

How large are games on the Switch 2? In particular, well-known AAA titles have very high storage requirements: Games with very high storage needs on the Switch 2 include Split Fiction, Cyberpunk 2077, or No Man’s Sky. If you want to install many such games, you will quickly reach your storage limit and need an additional memory card.

Many indie titles, on the other hand, are significantly smaller and require little storage space. Physical games also require little storage space, as only the updates are stored in the system memory.

Current game sizes on the Switch 2:

  • Split Fiction: 69.2 GB
  • Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition: 59 GB
  • Mario Kart World: 21.9
  • No Man’s Sky 24.9 GB
  • Witcher 3 26.6 GB
  • Pokémon Shield: 12.4 GB
  • Animal Crossing New Horizons: 10.7 GB

Furthermore, you should keep in mind: Even unreleased titles such as Madden NFL 26 (Release: August 2025) are estimated to require 30 to 50 GB of storage space.

Switch 2: Should you buy a memory card?

For whom is the purchase of a memory card for the Switch 2 worthwhile?

  • If you want to play many AAA titles that require a lot of space right at release, we would advise you to buy a memory card.
  • If you mostly have your games digitally and rely on the internal storage. Here, a memory card is also recommended.
  • With an additional memory card, you are future-proof, as new Switch 2 titles are expected to require a lot of space.

For whom is the purchase of a memory card not worthwhile?

  • If you play Mario Kart World, the Zelda games, and at most one Pokémon game, the internal storage of your Switch 2 should be sufficient.
  • For casual gamers or users who primarily buy physical games, the internal storage is usually sufficient as only updates and save data are stored in the system memory.

The Nintendo Switch 2 will launch worldwide on June 5, 2025. To ensure a smooth start with the console, you can find here a collection of all important guides for the Nintendo Switch 2 at MeinMMO: Nintendo Switch 2 Guides: All tips and tricks at a glance

WoW: A screenshot impressively shows how complex the game has become

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A tooltip that spans over 50 lines – for a single spell in World of Warcraft. It is that complex when considering all the factors.

“World of Warcraft is so easy” and other exclamations are often heard in discussions on the internet about which game is complex and difficult or which is easy. The number of confusing game content that can overwhelm newcomers is often overlooked by long-time veterans. Because we believe: WoW is too hard for newcomers.

Especially the revamped talent system in the “Dragonflight” expansion is now quite complex and influences abilities in various ways. A player has now demonstrated how complex this is on the WoW subreddit.

Start video
Older lady lives our dream and plays WoW until 5 a.m.

What was shown? Myrsephone wanted to engage a little with the monk and learn this class. But that proves to be quite difficult. He shows a screenshot with the tooltip of the ability “Eveloping Mist” (“Enveloping Mist”), and one wouldn’t be surprised by how large this tooltip is – because it stretches across almost the entire screen.

This is because Myrsephone had all talents displayed that interact in any way with “Enveloping Mist”. You can see the result best here:

How can you see this so precisely? In order for a tooltip to display all this information, one must download an addon. “Advanced Tooltips” provides the option to list all talents and abilities that affect the precise functionality of an ability. This can result in over 12 individual tooltips with over 50 lines of text all describing how a single ability works.

The community notes that there are some classes where so many talents affect the same abilities that one actually has to keep a book to remember all functionalities or to understand how exactly the damage or healing of a spell combines.

For those who are completely lost with this complexity, Blizzard already has a solution. Because when the next patch of World of Warcraft goes live in a few weeks, there will be the “1-button rotation” – then you will only need to press one button!

A well-known speaker from Baldur’s Gate 3 also plays an important role in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – developers immediately knew she was the right choice

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 2 minutes

A popular voice from Baldur’s Gate 3 can also be heard in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in a leading role. For the devs, she was the right choice within seconds.

Which voice actress is it? Jennifer English is far from a stranger in the circles of voice actors and is known for her roles in Elden Ring as Latenna and as Leya in Divinity: Original Sin II.

She is especially famous for her role as Shadowheart in Baldur’s Gate 3 and has since been deeply rooted in the hearts of many fans. There, she not only learned to love her competition, but also gave her voice a larger platform.

All the more entertaining is the fact that English came to her role in the celebrated role-playing game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, as the developers apparently did not recognize her during auditions, as the voice actress explains in a livestream via YouTube.

Start video
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 hinterlässt bei den Spielern eine Leere

“They didn’t know our names”

Whom does Jennifer English voice in Clair Obscur? So English got the role of Maelle, a 16-year-old who accompanies the Expedition 33 on her arduous journey against the painter and is thus one of the main characters of the game.

How did she get the role in Clair Obscur? To find suitable voice actors for their characters, Sandfall Interactive used so-called “blind auditions”. Accordingly, the studio received numerous voice samples and decided solely based on the sound of the voice. They had neither names nor pictures or resumes of the applicants.

Jennifer English is sure that the devs played Baldur’s Gate 3, but still did not recognize her. They were all the more surprised when they found out whom they had cast. Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, the narrative director of Clair Obscur, merely told her that she would have known within seconds that she was the right one.

It was similar with another well-known colleague you might also know from other games.

In Denmark, not only gamers are streaming live on Twitch, but also the Danish police. This way, they provide insight into their professional lives and aim to create proximity between the police and the people. MeinMMO presents the Twitch channel.

What kind of channel is this? The Twitch channel PolitietsOnlinePatrulje is operated by the Danish police. They already have over 33,400 followers and had an average of 92 viewers last year (via SullyGnome).

In our video, we introduce you to the 5 most relevant Twitch streamers in the German area:

Police maintains presence on the Internet

These are the contents of the police officers: The police officers play various games every Wednesday from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Mainly, however, Counter-Strike 2, Fortnite, Minecraft, EA Sports FC 24, and Call of Duty: Warzone. The police officers play video games and simultaneously raise awareness about the dangers on the Internet and how they plan to address them.

In their channel trailer on Twitch, the police officers explain that they want to reach children and adolescents through their content where they are, and that includes Twitch.

Above all, they want to raise awareness about Internet dangers such as grooming, illegal image dissemination, and online fraud.

Other motives are the following:

  • They want to have an open dialogue with the viewers and share preventive measures.
  • The police aim to present themselves both professionally and relaxed while gaming.
  • Through their work on the Twitch channel, they want to strengthen the bond between the police and the citizens.
  • They also provide a way to report offenses on the Internet directly.

Also on YouTube and Instagram, the police officers are active. The accounts of the same name provide further insights into the work of the police. Here, too, they address the same topics as on Twitch, but without the gaming.

Before a defeat in Dune: Awakening, you should be particularly cautious, as it is deadlier than the others

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

In Dune: Awakening you can meet your end in various ways. However, you should really avoid one scenario. And not just because they can eat you.

What defeat is that? There are several ways to die in Dune: Awakening. Of course, none of them are pleasant, but one stands out in particular: death by sandworms.

The monsters roam beneath the sand and hear your footsteps as soon as you step on it. If you are too loud, they will burrow up to you and swallow you.

Here you can get a first glimpse into the new survival MMO:

Start video
Dune: Awakening presents in the new trailer the desert world of Arrakis

Sandworms swallow you along with your inventory

Why is dying by sandworms worse? If a sandworm swallows you, you must respawn, but you will have empty pockets. This is because dying by a sandworm differs in terms of your belongings.

If you die to a sandworm, all your inventory is gone and you have no way to get your items back; there is no spawn point for your remaining inventory or even a part of it. This also includes your armor, your weapons, and other equipment.

If you are killed in another scenario in a PvE fight, you drop some of your items and can retrieve them later. If you are in a fight against other players and die, you also lose items that can be looted by other players.

In these two scenarios, while you lose your items, you can still keep your equipment, even if it loses some of its durability. By the way, if you are in a vehicle and get eaten by a worm, your means of transportation is also gone.

The only thing you get from dying by a sandworm: a worm tooth, which you can use to craft a knife.

Players receive defective Nintendo Switch 2 because the dealer made a mistake on the receipt

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 2 minutes

The Switch 2 is celebrating its release day and many fans can finally hold their highly anticipated console in their hands. But for some players, the excitement was quickly dampened when they unpacked their packages. Because in the box is a broken console, and the culprit is the receipt.

What are the disappointed players reporting? On X there are numerous posts where players vent their frustrations. They have received consoles that have a damaged display – all with a very similar problem.

Because on the display of their Switch 2, each has two small holes that are still clearly visible even when the screen is on. These holes can be found on the box and the thin plastic bag in which the console is packaged for sale.

This is particularly frustrating, as the Switch 2 is sold out in many regions and cannot be reordered quickly. The consoles that report such a defect come from the United States of America and were sold there by GameStop.

You can see what is included in the Switch 2 package in our unboxing video:

Display instead of just receipt stapled

How did the holes get into the screen? Comparing the posts of the upset players, it becomes clear that these holes are exactly where GameStop stapled their receipts directly onto the original box. This box seems to be so thin that the staples went right through the box and the plastic bag into the display.

The fans are understandably upset and share their experience on social media. On one hand, because they consider GameStop’s handling of the console thoughtless, but on the other hand, they also wonder how such an expensive console can be packaged so thinly that staples can cause such damage:

  • So @AncientArgonaut writes via X: ‘I knew this would happen – it was a strange decision by Nintendo to place the screen with the front side at the top of the box and only protect it with the thin box.’
  • ‘GameStop stapled the receipt for the Switch 2 to the box for me and my friends. FML,’ posts @Oadhan via X, ‘Really crazy, now I have to wait 3 months for the replacement.’
  • Konflick writes in his now-deleted Reddit post: ‘It seems like the same thing happened to all of them with their boxes. Over 100 people were there tonight.’
@Oadhan via X.com (As of June 5, 2025, 6:00 PM)

So far, GameStop has not commented on these incidents, but it is likely that affected individuals will receive a replacement console. Although it is uncertain whether this will be possible promptly due to high demand.

Dune: Awakening will soon let its fans play on the servers, but before players decide to purchase, they want to know what the critics have to say about the game on Metacritic. When you can expect the first reviews, you can find out here.

When can you expect reviews? Currently, there are no reviews on Metacritic. Neither fans nor critics were allowed to play the game beforehand. It will ultimately result in the first opinions about the MMO appearing during the Early Access on June 5 at 16:00.

However, expect some delays as players will need to test the game for a few hours before forming a well-founded opinion about it.

Opinions from the Beta: How Good is Dune Awakening?

Our MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier was allowed to play the beta of Dune Awakening and report on what the game has to offer you. For him, the game was fun. There is plenty to loot, many dangers lurking, and overall, the game feels like a relaxed MMO. Regarding the MMORPG aspect, our expert is skeptical. For hardcore PvP and PvE players, the game might not be suitable; the focus is more on collecting items, trading, and housing.

Also, IGN initially reports positively about the game. Dune Awakening is especially fun in co-op, as you can loot strategically together and fight enemies. The game also places a high value on immersion, which is why water is considered one of the most important resources. One of the things that IGN criticizes, however, are bugs and performance issues that the team needs to iron out before the release.

Lastly, TooMuchGaming also reports on their first impressions. For them, the combat system feels too repetitive. It always comes down to the same situations where ranged fighters have to face melee fighters. Additionally, the character development feels too superficial. You can level various skills, but they didn’t leave a significant impression. What they praise, however, is the base building and the start into the MMO.

The most beautiful new MMORPG 2025 is inspired by a famous horror movie, destroying the lovely Middle Ages with extraterrestrial attackers

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The new MMORPG Chrono Odyssey aims to distinguish itself from existing genre representatives. For this, the developers have drawn unusual inspiration.

What kind of game is it? Chrono Odyssey is an ambitious open-world action MMORPG by developer Chrono Studio and publisher Kakao Games, set to be released in 2025 for PC and consoles. It promises a seamless game world without loading screens, where dynamic events are meant to challenge players.

The core of the game is the “Chronotector”, a tool for time manipulation that plays a central role in both combat and navigation through the world. Visually, Chrono Odyssey stands out with a mix of dark fantasy and harmonious medieval aesthetics, aiming to create a unique yet tense atmosphere.

The action combat system is inspired by Soulslikes, emphasizing precision and the flexible use of 18 weapons divided into 6 classes. The game offers a blend of solo and group content, including dungeons and world bosses, and integrates a PvPvE system where PvP can be disabled outside certain zones. The developers also emphasize that there will be no pay-to-win elements and a global release without regional differences is planned.

Here you can watch the trailer for the game:

SciFi horror instead of a lovely medieval setting

How does Chrono Odyssey differ? The new MMORPG draws its inspiration neither from elves nor dwarves. Instead, the developers want to destroy a peaceful medieval world with alien invaders.

The optics and setting of the MMORPG have therefore been strongly shaped by the question, “What would it look like if an alien civilization—like the one portrayed in the film Prometheus—invaded a medieval world?”, as the developers revealed in an interview with MMORPG.com.

There will be a fusion of “dark fantasy” settings with “science fiction” elements. The developers have also drawn inspiration from both Western and Eastern visual traditions to create an interesting medieval aesthetic.

The film Prometheus serves as an important source of inspiration for the unique aesthetics of Chrono Odyssey. The developers have adopted the menacing, dark atmosphere and aim to continually break the MMORPG with new influences from the film. This is evident, for example, in the types of enemies and bosses in the MMORPG.

Twitch streamer NoWay wanted to start in a LoL league at 32, but is now quitting: “It was a mistake in all areas”

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

One of the most famous German Twitch streamers in the field of League of Legends is NoWay. In 2025, he played professionally again in the Regional League NLC, but after the next EM he wants to retire. There are also several reasons for this.

What is the current status of NoWay? Frederik NoWay Hinteregger is a German Twitch streamer who primarily plays League of Legends. The former LoL pro announced for 2025 that he wants to play again in the professional field with Team NORD Esports. At 32, he already belongs to the older generation in LoL eSports.

NORD performed quite well in the NLC. They made it to the finals in the Winter and Spring Playoffs, finishing second and qualifying for the EMEA Masters. He will participate in the upcoming EMEA tournament, but after that, he wants to retire.

He cites mainly the effort and energy required, but also the disadvantages as a content creator.

NoWay will retire again, having learned from the project

What does NoWay say about his NORD ending? In a stream excerpt (via YouTube), he talked about his last six months with NORD. He clarified that he will not continue after the EMEA Masters 2025 Spring. NoWay stated that it has not been positive for him. He also gives several reasons for this:

  • It is exhausting and would ruin his schedule, it just doesn’t fit into his routine
  • In addition, it is a big commitment that takes a lot of energy
  • As a content creator, it also has a disadvantage regarding what he broadcasts

He summarizes the points with: That was a mistake in all areas. But he also sees positively that he now knows he doesn’t want to play semiprofessionally anymore. In a later stream (via YouTube), he specified the arguments again.

NoWay emphasizes once more that being in a professional team requires a lot of work. The scrims (training matches) are not very satisfying, and that is not good content either. The scrims also did not fit into his routine. It is very exhausting, it makes the streams very long and it makes the content very bad.

In the clip, the interpersonal aspects of the players are also addressed. But that is not a problem for NoWay. The team gets along very well, but there is a different approach to how to play LoL.

Following that, he also shows that as a player, you also receive abusive messages. On his x-account, he showed quite abusive messages he received after the match against Los Ratones. According to NoWay, that is normal as a professional player.

Next up is a best-of-3 against Team GK to qualify for the knockout stage. The match takes place on June 6 at 5 PM.

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

In July, the next Community Day Classic starts in Pokémon GO. And it will not only be very long but also really big.

What kind of event is this? A Community Day in Pokémon GO is an event where at least one Pokémon is in the spotlight and appears in very high numbers within 3 hours, with increased shiny chances and other strong bonuses. The Community Day Classic brings back a Pokémon that has already had a Community Day in the past.

The information for the Community Day Classic in July is now known. And the event will be bigger than you are used to.

Community Day Classic in July 2025 – All Information

Which monster is the focus? In July, the Community Day Classic will revolve around Eevee, the popular monster from Generation 1. Eevee has a unique trait that makes it special in the world of Pokémon: It has a total of 8 evolutions.

What makes the event special? There are 2 major features that this Community Day Classic brings. On one hand, the event will run over 2 days instead of just one. It takes place on Saturday, July 5, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and on Sunday, July 6, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Additionally, during a Community Day Classic, there is always an increased chance of shiny Pokémon. And this is a strong bonus in connection with Eevee. If you catch enough Eevee in shiny form during the event, you can look forward to Eevee and each of its evolutions as shiny. If you do not own any of the monsters yet, you could snag a total of 9 shinies at the event for the first time.

What bonuses are there at the event? Moreover, the event brings you many bonuses. Here are the following:

  • Eevee appears in high numbers and with increased shiny chances**
  • Espeon and Umbreon can be evolved after you walk one kilometer with Eevee as your buddy**
  • Sylveon can be evolved after you earn 7 hearts with Eevee as your buddy
  • Lure modules and incense (except the daily adventure incense) last for 3 hours when activated during the event
  • Field research and PokéStop showcases with event Pokémon
  • Limited research with Eevee, with a special background
  • Snapshot surprises with event Pokémon

**The requirements for the evolutions are reduced until July 12, 2025, at 10:00 PM.

Monster Hunter Wilds advises players to immediately quit the game during a type of quest – fans fear for their accounts

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 3 minutes

Capcom is now banning players in Monster Hunter Wilds who do not adhere to their rules and therefore advise to exit the game immediately if there are uncertainties. Fans are worried about their accounts.

Which players does Capcom ban? In the past, Capcom announced that they would take stronger action against mods and cheats that can significantly alter or impair the gameplay experience. They have primarily focused on those players who cheat in leaderboard placements or unlock paid DLC content with mods.

However, they are also starting to punish players who modify content and quests (via X) or access content that has not yet been officially released with mods and access the game data (via X).

Therefore, Capcom expressly advises players that if they even suspect that they are participating in modified content, they should immediately leave the corresponding quest and exit the game without saving (via monsterhunter.com). This way, no mod data would appear in their game data.

Furthermore, they provide on their homepage in a table ways to better recognize such quests. Additionally, it states regarding account bans (via X):

The identification of misconduct is determined by Capcom’s own investigations and detection systems.
We review the game data and activity history before taking strict measures such as account suspension.
Please note that we cannot respond to individual inquiries regarding these enforcement measures.

This statement unsettles many players as they fear that their accounts may be suspended unjustly.

Start video
Monster Hunter Wilds shows its first title update with a new monster

“Honestly, I wouldn’t risk it as it is. It doesn’t seem worth it to me.”

Why are players worried about their accounts? Due to the statement that Capcom cannot answer inquiries regarding suspensions and the clear warning to exit quests immediately if a suspicion arises, the community is asking via Reddit whether they can still use any mods or should only play online with friends.

Many users primarily use cosmetic mods that allow them to adjust minor details, such as using the abilities of the Akuma armor from the collaboration while keeping their hunter’s appearance unchanged (via Reddit). Players seem unclear if such adjustments would fall within the scope of a ban.

Consequently, many players see this approach as a double-edged sword, while others consider it unnecessary:

  • “Honestly, I wouldn’t risk it as it is. It doesn’t seem worth it to me,” writes AtrumRuina in response to a user asking whether his mod could potentially be affected.
  • He additionally writes: “[…] This means that you have no way to defend yourself if you get caught up in something like this, whether it’s because Capcom makes a mistake or because you accidentally join a modified quest. I really don’t like this approach at all.”
  • SerGodHand notes: “Why the hell do people even bother to get some early drip and then go into public lobbies with it?”
  • red_rose23 criticizes: “Wait a minute. Does the ban take away your access to YOUR €70 game? Do you mainly play in single-player mode anyway? If so, what a terrible move. Only losers care about that. Think about the future.”
  • GameJon supports: “A step in the right direction. Any modification that could negatively affect the enjoyment of other players (even if it’s about others wearing armors that they cannot get yet) should have consequences.”

Some players also note that they find this approach from Capcom strange since such drastic bans were rather the exception in previous titles and mods had previously been handled more liberally.

However, even if this approach currently causes many uncertainties, the majority of the community welcomes action against cheaters – especially when it not only affects the modder’s gameplay experience but also impacts multiplayer. This has often led to problems in the past: First cheaters threaten the fun of the co-op in Monster Hunter Wilds

Twitch streamer Ludwig fell for an impersonator of his friend and even invited him to play

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Charles “MoistCr1TiKaL” White Jr. and Ludwig Ahgren have known each other for a long time and have their own e-sports team together. Nevertheless, Ludwig was deceived for a long time by a fake account of his colleague, to which he even sent a message.

What did Ludwig fall for? The Twitch streamer and YouTuber MoistCr1TiKaL, also known as penguinz0, had an impersonator on Instagram. The fake account pretended to be the streamer and named itself MoistCr1TiKaL. It had a picture of the YouTube account as its profile picture and regularly uploaded clips from his streams, as MoistCr1TiKaL told in a video on YouTube.

According to MoistCr1TiKaL, the account also sold MoistCr1TiKaL merchandise and Pokémon cards. The real MoistCr1TiKaL was unaware of this fake account and only found out in one of his streams (highlight as a clip on YouTube).

The fake account had over 400,000 followers, including Twitch and YouTube streamer Ludwig, who even went so far as to invite the account to play. In his own stream, Ludwig reacted to MoistCr1TiKaL’s video and defensively laughed (via YouTube).

The fake account was even verified on Instagram. However, verification can be obtained on Instagram for a monthly fee. Although Ludwig uses this service himself to have his verification, he still fell for the fake account.

Ludwig is a successful Twitch and YouTube streamer on an international scale. We present you the 5 most relevant Twitch streamers in the German area:

“I don’t feel like a crazy person!”

What did Ludwig invite MoistCr1TiKaL to? Ludwig was so convinced by the fake account that he even sent it a message inviting it to a tournament of the game GeoGuessr. The streamer then defended himself as follows:

[The account] is named “MoistCr1TiKaL”, it has the picture and it has so many followers. I don’t think I am a crazy person! I don’t feel like a crazy person!

Ludwig via YouTube

How did the story end? After MoistCr1TiKaL learned about the fake account, the operator posted an apology. He tagged MoistCr1TiKaL and Ludwig and wrote that he wanted to signal through the abbreviation “UO” in the description that the account was not official. The letters were supposed to stand for the English word “unofficial”.

Ludwig further defended himself and checked whether the abbreviation was really used for that. He found nothing on it and thus reinforced his point that it was okay to have fallen for the account.

Why is this special? Ludwig has known MoistCr1TiKaL for a while. The two even founded an e-sports organization in 2021: Moist Esports. With the organization, Ludwig bought an e-sports team, which he ultimately failed with.

The organization was finally merged in January 2025 with the Canadian e-sports organization Shopify Rebellion.

So the two streamers know each other pretty well, which makes it all the more amusing that Ludwig fell for the fake account.

Player shows strong build for one of the best classes in Elden Ring: Nightreign, lets you swing through the map like Spider-Man

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Elden Ring: Nightreign, a player has shown his build for the Wylder after 55 hours, which is so powerful that he can move through the map like Spider-Man. We show you how he did it.

What did the player show? The fan OFurthestBenO revealed his Wylder build for Nightreign on Reddit. In the spin-off of Elden Ring, there are no classic builds where you have to level up your skills. Rather, players use gems that they can embed in their chalices. These gems then have special effects and buffs that can drastically enhance your playstyle.

After 55 hours, it was finally time, as OFurthestBenO was able to find exactly those gems he needed for his build. With them, he could remodel his Wylder, one of the best classes in the game, so that he could swing through the map like Spider-Man.

What makes the build so strong? This build focuses on reducing the cooldown of your character skills as much as possible. OFurthestBenO slots three green gems with a “Character Skill Cooldown Reduction +2” buff into his chalice. Additionally, his last gem gives him another use of his character skill.

He says that the setup is not perfect yet, but he feels like he has his grappling hook ready at all times – he feels like Spider-Man. When asked how often he can now use his grappling hook, OFurthestBenO said: “I can use my skill every 4 seconds and thanks to the +1 character skill, I can even stack it more easily. It really feels like I never run out of the skill.”

  • “After spending 84000 murky for cool costumes, I now realize I should start buying more random relics lol.” – FromsoftwareNPC
  • “Yes. I am now addicted. Literally Spider-Man. It can even help stagger enemies sometimes.” – Reynzs

  • “I think this is more Levi Wylderman from Attack on Nightreign [a reference to the manga “Attack on Titan“].” – LivingRel
  • “Sir, I need your save file /s.” – VoliTheKing

Depending on which relics you equip, your playstyle changes with your class. So pay attention to which gems you socket and sell those you don’t need to get murky. Besides the relics, the classes are also important. You can find out which are the best in Nightreign in our tier list: Elden Ring Nightreign: Tier List of the best classes

Path of Exile 2 admits that ordinary players will never get certain items, developers want to change that now

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Path of Exile 2 there are many unique items that can define entire characters and builds. But if you have always felt cursed by bad luck because you have never received such an item yourself, the developers now have a bitter truth for you.

What have the developers said? In a new post on PathofExile.com, the developers talked about the new patch for Path of Exile 2. With update 0.2.1, they want to bring many improvements to the game that benefit the gameplay flow. For this, they also looked at the items and how often they drop in the maps.

The developers noticed that the rarest and most powerful unique items drop so infrequently that most players have likely never seen them. The developers write:

„[…] A mythic amulet like Astramentis was about 47,000x rarer than a divine orb. When things are that rare they effectively don’t exist for most players. There are some cool items to find, but you are not going to find them. […]”

Here you can watch the trailer for the current season of Path of Exile 2:

Start video
Path of Exile 2 presents gameplay trailer with the new Hunter class

Better loot and new items

What are the developers planning now? The developers want you to enjoy better uniques more often. While the drop rate of the unique items will not be increased, the calculation of which items you should really receive will be changed.

With the changes, all weapons, armor pieces, and jewelry will have the same chance to drop in a valuable category. “TThis means that things like Amulets and Rings were significantly less common than other types of uniques.” the developers say.

The second change that the developers are making is that the modifier “Rarity of Items found” will also influence what types of unique items drop.

This is intended to allow more rare or very rare uniques to end up in the hands of players, while common uniques will decrease in number.

What else have the developers introduced? The developers of Path of Exile 2 not only want to bring better unique items to players but also new ones. For this, the developers have introduced several items.

  • The “Lioneye’s Glare” bow was already known to many players in the predecessor and provides high ranged damage and attack repetition.
  • The “Last Lament” crossbow turns your enemies into ammunition when you finish them off, but also deals damage to you if you fire the last shot.
  • The “Whispering Ice” staff increases the damage of ice skills and does more damage the more intelligence the character has.
  • The “Cadiro’s Gambit” quiver chooses one of 6 different arrows you fire. Each arrow has a different modifier.

A new role-playing game on Steam and PS5 makes you a pirate, offers raids with sea monsters, impresses with over 300 companions

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

During this year’s State of Play, a new game was announced on Steam and for the PS5, sending players into a pirate world full of sea voyages, raids, and a lot of characters shining in a stylized look. These potential companions are actually a race of dolls.

Which game is being talked about? It concerns the newly announced pirate RPG “Sea of Remnants” from Joker Studio, in which players embark on a journey for answers as a sailor with amnesia.

In addition to battles at sea and the creation of their crew, ships, and plans, they can also enjoy other aspects of pirate life. Although the game offers many opportunities for tactical combat and raids, the sailor’s story and life outside the action also play an important role.

The game is set to be released in 2026 and will be playable on PC and PS5, as well as mobile. The developers do not intend to hold back and already promise various factions, a multiplayer mode, and hundreds of characters to meet.

Here you can see the latest trailer for Sea of Remnants:

Der Trailer von Sea of Remnants zeigt, dass neben Kämpfen und Seereisen auch die Geschichte der Puppen im Fokus steht

“A wild, romantic, and absolutely punky pirate adventure”

What will the game offer? In Sea of Remnants, you assemble your crew from over 300 possible characters with suitable team synergy to successfully undertake exploration journeys, raids, and battles against giant sea monsters. Besides a good crew, a customizable ship and good equipment, which you also have to take care of, can help.

For this, there is a retreat spot, the pirate island “Orbtopia”, where you can also fish, cook, make music, or play Mahjongg when you need a little break. 

What does the new trailer show? The gameplay trailer for Sea of Remnants offers a glimpse into the different locations of the game and the various types of combat on land and at sea.

It also becomes clear that the game wants to prove itself not only through battles and journeys but also through a unique style. It is characterized by a stylized, hand-painted art style of effects, animations, and dolls, as well as the use of music and the theme of memory. Players are already speculating on how the theme will be addressed in the game and implemented through gameplay.

Blizzard explains the possible addon ban in WoW, wants to prevent players from having a disadvantage

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Addons have been a standard tool for many players in World of Warcraft for years in combat and dungeons, but Blizzard does not seem completely satisfied with it and plans to restrict mods and similar programs. In an open letter, WoW developers discuss the topic in more detail.

What are addons in WoW? Addons like Northern Sky or Deadly Boss Mods are external programs that help players in various WoW content by displaying timers for buffs or signaling what action to take during specific mechanics. For many players, these tools have become commonplace.

As early as May, the head of WoW commented on a possible addon ban. It was argued that battles need to be made more complex through external addons in order to remain challenging.

In a current open letter to modders, the topic has been addressed again.

They want to restrict addons but also make the game more accessible

What do the developers behind WoW say about a possible addon ban? In an open letter to modders (via github.com), they explained the further course regarding addons and what approach can be expected.

The developers clarify that they currently do not wish to ban addons directly, but rather restrict them. Furthermore, they want to implement future changes with minimal impact on accessibility-related addons. However, they also explain that players who do not use external programs feel at a significant disadvantage. These players may feel excluded from competitive content.

To prevent this, they want to adjust the UI to make the game more accessible for all players. They announce that they want to make significant changes to fights and encounters. Class mechanics should also become more accessible when the addon changes are implemented.

However, they also emphasize in the letter that WoW should remain challenging. If they ensure that addons are no longer used to solve mechanics, they could choose a different approach for future design decisions.
