Better graphics for PCs and fighting with friends
What does the graphic update bring? The graphic update affects all PC players. With the update, the graphics on PC will be adjusted to those of the console versions. According to the patch notes, an additional 4.5 gigabytes of space will be needed on the hard drive for this.
The development team states in the patch notes that this current update is part of ongoing and further improvements to the graphics.
What does the new matchmaking feature do? From now on, there is a new feature in matchmaking: In the custom settings, Private Match can be selected. This will start the next instance only with the people currently in a group.
However, the developers warn that some content may not work with smaller groups. They also ask for any bugs found to be reported.

The new season of League of Legends has started and brings with it not only many changes to gameplay and champions but also an unpleasant bug. With a simple misclick, you could ruin the entire round.
What happens with a wrong mouse click? Since the early days of League of Legends, recalling has been an important and valuable ability that can be used by any champion. The bug caused you to sell your recall with a right click in your team’s base.
How could the round be ruined because of this? Normally, sold items should return to the inventory with the “Undo” function, but unfortunately, that doesn’t work with the recall. The button disappears completely and cannot be retrieved by any method.
The recall is an integral part of League of Legends. Every champion has to return to base at some point to heal or buy items. If you can’t recall, you will lose many valuable seconds or even minutes. In addition to the lost time, another reason is that you sometimes find yourself in situations where it is impossible to reach your base safely. In this case, a recall is inevitable.
The video shows the new launch trailer for Season 2 2025 of League of Legends:

Fortunately, the bug was quickly discovered
How was the bug found? Youtuber Vandiril uploaded a video titled “Riot finally added something INCREDIBLE!” on April 29, in which he demonstrates the bug and then tries to get the recall back, but without success.
In addition to the video, there was also a Reddit post by the player sidknecht, whose ADC accidentally sold his recall in the middle of the round. After sidknecht did not believe him, he tested it himself and warned the community about the bug.
We embed Vandiril’s video here for you:

Has Riot already fixed the bug? Severe bugs like selling the recall lead to high frustration among players and need to be fixed as quickly as possible. After the bug became public, Riot responded after several hours and had their community manager comment under the Reddit post:
“Hey everyone! We’ve released a fix for this, you should no longer be able to sell your recall. Sorry to all who wanted to relive the pure ‘No Recall’ gameplay. (I mean, you can theoretically still try.)”, writes RiotSakaar, the community manager.
A programmer discovered after a shopping trip that all the USB sticks he purchased were fake. A good reason for him to take action.
In the multitude of online offers for hardware, it can happen time and again that one realizes after purchasing a product that it is a deviating or even counterfeit product.
This experience was also shared by programmer Steve Gibson. During testing of a new version of a program he developed, he came across a USB stick whose stated storage capacity was incorrect. He then conducted a self-experiment and purchased 12 inexpensive devices from Amazon, all of which were supposed to have 1 TB or 2 TB of storage.

In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?
12 USB-Sticks, One Software
What results does his test yield? After the memory sticks arrived, he tested all 12 samples and came to a shocking conclusion: Not a single one had the storage capacity as indicated on Amazon.
When the devices were connected to a PC, the operating system displayed the size at which the sticks were sold. However, in most cases, the actual size was only 64 GB.
The crux of the matter: Gibson discovered that even after the first 64 GB of data, further data could still be transferred to the sticks. However, it was no longer the files themselves that were stored, but only information such as the names of the files and their size on the devices.
This means that the files are empty when copied from the device to a computer. The actual content is not transmitted. The operating system also does not show an error, as it does not test whether the data has been successfully written to a stick. It relies on the storage medium to report any problems with the transfer of files — which it of course did not do.
A program aims to remedy this: Gibson then decided to develop a program called Validrive to test the real capacity of USB sticks and prevent data loss caused by such manipulated devices.
The tool randomly tests whether the space stated by the seller is actually available on a storage medium. Test data is written to different locations on the stick and directly checked to see if the data can be read back.
After the test, a report is generated that clearly indicates whether a device has the stated storage capacity. ValiDrive is not the first tool of its kind. However, since the program only randomly checks the available capacity, it can save considerable time in reaching a conclusion.
The program can also be used without a prior installation. It only needs to be downloaded and can be run portably. The graphical presentation of the final report, which can also be seen on the developer’s page, allows the results to be interpreted quickly even without extensive technical expertise.
Tips for buying USB sticks: If you are looking for a USB stick yourself, there are various tips you can follow to minimize the risk of acquiring a counterfeit version right from the start:
Pay attention to the price. If it’s significantly lower than comparable products with the same capacity, then something might be wrong.
The action game GTA 6 has officially been postponed, the developers announced in a statement on May 2, 2025.
This is the announcement: Rockstar Games announced on May 2, 2025, that the release of GTA 6 has been postponed. The action game is now set to be released on May 26, 2026 (via rockstargames.com). So, GTA 6 will not be released this year.
Previously, the release of GTA 6 was scheduled for fall 2025, but no exact date was communicated. Since then, fans have been waiting for new information as well as a second trailer.

Endlich Releasedatum für GTA 6 bekannt – nicht 2025
More time to deliver the necessary quality
How does Rockstar justify the postponement? Rockstar Games justifies the postponement of the release date by stating that they need more time to deliver the quality they aim for. The studio needs more time for this, but they want to share “more information about GTA 6 soon.”
You can read the full announcement from the developers here in German:
We are very sorry that this is later than you expected. The interest and excitement around a new Grand Theft Auto has impressed our entire team. We would like to thank you for your support and patience while we work on completing the game.
With every game we have released, it has always been our goal to exceed your expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception. We hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver the quality you expect and deserve.
We look forward to sharing more information with you soon.
Fans find postponement reasonable
This is how the community reacts: In social networks, many fans waiting for the release of GTA 6 are reacting very calmly. Many players write that they expected a postponement anyway and even anticipate further delays. Others are convinced that it is right to postpone the game rather than release it in less than optimal condition.
“Thank God they are finally saying something official. I felt like GTA 6 was turning into a myth, lol. 2026 is a wait, but at least we are no longer completely in the dark.”
“I’m sure it was the right decision to delay the release, but it’s still a huge shock.”
“At least now we have a date, I don’t mind a delay if it means the game will be good.”
“It’s Rockstar, bro. What did you expect. Also, I really doubt it will be released on May 26, they will postpone it even more.”
Some players also hope that with the postponement, the release date for the PC version will also come closer. Rockstar Games only announced the release date for the console version during the initial presentation of the game.
The impact of the postponement on the release of the PC version is currently unknown.
Schreier explained that after the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, Rockstar Games promised to avoid employee overtime in the final months before a release, which is why a postponement could be possible.
Just a few days ago, Gearbox Software postponed the release of the upcoming loot shooter Borderlands 4. The game is now coming earlier and will be released on September 12, 2025. Some fans speculated whether the postponement was related to the release of GTA 6.

The current antagonist of World of Warcraft still has many secrets. Her origin will be explored in more detail in the next patch – with a cutscene.
In the current expansion The War Within, the overarching plot revolves around Xal’atath. The elf with an affinity for the void is a mystical figure whose story is quite complex and not all secrets have been revealed yet. The next patch will finally provide some clarity, as we will witness how she came to possess the dagger that later bears her name.
Spoiler alert: This article contains story details about the new story quests in patch 11.1.7.
Start video
WoW: Xal’atath and the Destruction of Dalaran
What’s new in patch 11.1.7? With patch 11.1.7, World of Warcraft introduces “Lore-Walking.” Here, you will visit lorekeeper Cho and experience some mysteries from the history of Azeroth with him. You can experience the origin of the Lich King or the origins of Xal’atath.
In gameplay terms, this works by repeating a series of quests that already exist in the game. For example, the priest artifact quest line where you originally find Xal’atath or her “liberation” in Battle for Azeroth.
However, there will also be new quest lines that continue these stories, as in the case of Xal’atath.
What does the new quest line show? In the final step of the quest surrounding Xal’atath, we travel back in time to the era of the Black Empire. This is the time span when Azeroth was completely dominated by the Old Gods Y’Shaarj, C’thun, Yogg-Saron, and N’Zoth.
Xal’atath attacks Ny’alotha here, the empire of N’Zoth, and tries to conquer it, as she apparently has other plans than the Old Gods.
N’Zoth has all tentacles full defending against Xal’atath and even has to summon his brothers in the end to succeed.
The colleagues from wowhead have already deciphered the associated cinematic:

Xal’atath is trapped in the blade but optimistically sees herself as the long-term winner, as she literally has “eternity” to wait. As a little bonus, we learn that Xal’atath has whispered to N’Zoth and proposed a “pact” that would make him more powerful and successful than his brothers. A pact, which we know was fulfilled in Battle for Azeroth with the liberation of Xal’atath.
If you want to know more about the story of the current villain of World of Warcraft, we have prepared the full story of Xal’atath in an article. It can’t hurt to know what this beautiful (but very dead) elf lady has planned.

Mega-Kangaskhan returns to Pokémon GO. How do you catch it? You can read about it here.
When is the Mega Raid Day? On Saturday, May 3, 2025. It runs from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
What’s special about Mega-Kangaskhan? The raid with Mega-Kangaskhan gives you the opportunity to secure the normal Kangaskhan. Why is that exciting? Because Kangaskhan is one of the regional Pokémon that cannot actually be caught here.
So it’s a very good chance to secure the Pokédex entry if you don’t have Kangaskhan yet – and of course, to collect Mega Energy for the Mega Evolution.
Additionally, you will also receive an increased shiny chance on every Kangaskhan you catch from a Mega Raid on Raid Day. Accordingly, collectors also have a good opportunity here to secure a coveted shiny Pokémon.
Furthermore, every Kangaskhan you catch from a Mega Raid during the event will know the move “Stomp”.
How will you utilize the day? We summarize it for you here.
Start video
Pokémon GO: What’s in the new Season Powerful and Masterful
Mega Raid Day with Mega-Kangaskhan – Contents, Bonuses, Tips
Utilize bonuses on Mega Raid Day: Basically, some bonuses are active during the event that you should take advantage of.
The most important are the five free raid passes you can get during the event. With the standard raid pass you receive every day, you can reach up to six passes.
But: The next free pass is only available once you have used the last one. Hence, you should keep spinning gyms to obtain the next one. So proceed as follows:
Complete a Mega-Kangaskhan raid
Go to the next gym
Spin the disc and collect your pass
Fight Mega-Kangaskhan again
Moreover, the remote raid limit on this day is increased to 20, instead of 5. This applies from 2:00 AM on Saturday until 5:00 AM on Sunday. This also applies to all other raids – so if you want to use remote raids for something other than Kangaskhan, it’s an option.
Complete the limited research: During the event period, a limited research will run that gives you Stardust. You can practically complete it alongside the raids, and Stardust is always useful.
How do I get Mega-Kangaskhan? Since you can only obtain the normal Kangaskhan from the raid, you will need to evolve it using Mega Energy. You need 200 units of it for Kangaskhan. You can obtain it from the raids – and the quicker you defeat them, the more you will receive in the end.
How do I defeat Mega-Kangaskhan? The good thing about this raid is that you can theoretically defeat Mega-Kangaskhan alone. However, it becomes significantly easier with more trainers. Additionally, you will be faster and collect more Mega Energy. Therefore, we recommend rather three trainers and good counters.
Especially with fighting moves, you can deal damage to Mega-Kangaskhan. Some of the best options include Mega-Lucario and Mega-Scizor, along with other popular favorites like Machamp, Terrakion, and other fighting monsters. We show you the best counters against Mega-Kangaskhan here.
What does the event ticket offer? In the shop, you will also find an optional event ticket that costs 5.49 Euros. You can use all the bonuses mentioned above without a ticket.
The event ticket grants you eight additional raid passes that you can collect after the last usage at gyms, as well as an increased chance of XL candy after raids, 50% more XP after raids, and double Stardust after raids. Important: These bonuses only apply from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM on the event day.
What’s next? The raid day with Mega-Kangaskhan is one of the first events in the new month. However, many more dates are coming up, such as the Crown Clash and a Rocket takeover. To know what’s going on, you can check here: We show you all events in May 2025 in Pokémon GO.

In Expedition 33, you can easily ruin the final battle. Because those who use the normal “gamer logic” make a mistake.
Like many others, I have played a lot of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in the last few days and I basically think that we already received our game of the year in April. I am very enthusiastic about the story, the art style of the world, and the combat system.
However, a problem crept in for me that has ruined many JRPGs and slightly spoiled the final moment of Expedition 33: I prepared so thoroughly for the final battle that it became ridiculously easy.
Start video

Much to do before the final battle – but that was not a wise decision
I want to avoid spoilers here, so I won’t go into the story – just the gameplay circumstances that ruined the ending for me a bit.
There is a point in the game where you are unmistakably informed that the final battle is approaching and that you should prepare “as well as possible.” For me, this translated from game language to:
“Aha, before I set off, I should take care of everything else. Every side quest that is still open and every unexplored area should be completed!”
Since you also unlock the ability to explore the game world largely freely at the same time, I did exactly that. Because there were still many hidden places, additional dungeons, and levels that I had not explored. Many of them still had a red “Danger!” marker, but if you work your way through step by step, a quite sensible order emerged in my view.
This meant that I spent another roughly 20 hours exploring and completing side missions. Since these also repeatedly brought (quite relevant) story details and had some cutscenes, it felt coherent and right. At least I thought so.
Because when I then made the decision to set off for the last battle, I realized right at the first enemy that this might have been a mistake. While the epic music blasted around me, making it clear that this was really for everything, it took just one attack to take down the enemy.
Unfortunately, this was not an isolated case, but all enemies between my party and the final boss were no more than cardboard cutouts that posed no challenge at all.
Final boss taken down with a one-hit
Just to express this in numbers: When the hint for the final battle came, the members of my expedition were about level 40. In the final battle, they were all clearly beyond 90. They not only had more than double the character stats but also such strong Pictos and so many Lumina points that ordinary enemies collapsed at the sight of them.
When it came to the last fight, the battle lasted exactly one single round – my character only had to make one single move to already decide the match. The stats of my Maelle were even so high that she could have attacked multiple times in a row before the boss could act even once.
My expression is hidden in the screenshot. Far down.
A few targeted shots to the enemy’s face were enough to send him to the ground. Something that would hardly have scratched most enemies I fought otherwise. The grandiose battle music ended before it could really take off.
This significantly took away the drama and tension from the otherwise so emotional scene and spoiled the game’s finale for me a bit. The story is still grand, of course, but if the big enemy is just low-hanging fruit, it does diminish the experience a bit.
For my next gameplay run, I know: I can do the final battle first. That way, it won’t disrupt the exciting story and will ensure that the battle really feels like a final battle. Because I really messed that up.
So if you reach the point in the game where you are explicitly told that the final battle is imminent, I can at least give a small warning: You can simply continue following the story and do not have to complete “everything else”. Because even though the game implicitly claims this, it is actually logical in terms of difficulty to complete many of the endgame contents after the final battle of the main story. A lesson I had to learn, which unfortunately made me ruin the emotional climax of the game. If you’re interested in our review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, you can find it here.

If you want to play GTA 6 at release, you need a console, and the cheapest console has now become more expensive.
What is the cheapest way to play GTA 6? The cheapest way to play GTA 6 at release is through the Xbox Series S. This was previously available for €299, while the PlayStation 5 cost a bit more at €399.
The price difference to the PS5 is now significantly smaller, as Microsoft has increased the prices for the Xbox consoles. The Xbox Series S is now set to cost €349.99 in the base variant with 512GB storage instead of €299.99. The Series S with 1TB storage now costs €399.99 (via Xbox).
Endlich Releasedatum für GTA 6 bekannt – nicht 2025
The Series S loses its GTA argument
Why could the console have received some love?GTA 6 will be released only for consoles, namely for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A version for PC is expected to be released at a later date.
Players who do not yet own a current console but want to play GTA 6 at release will need to buy such a console. The Series S appeared particularly appealing due to its significantly lower price and could have been purchased by players regardless of their personal preference between Xbox and PlayStation. A game analyst even believed that GTA 6 could have become a hit on the Series S.
Now the price difference is significantly smaller, and players may decide they prefer to opt for the PS5 with 1TB storage rather than the now only €50 cheaper Series S with 512GB storage or the equally priced Series S with 1TB as well.
When is the PC version of GTA 6 coming? While the release for consoles is now planned for May 2026, no further information is available about the release of the PC version.
A former employee of GTA developer Rockstar Games has now given his own assessment regarding the release of the PC version and explained why Rockstar’s approach may differ somewhat from previous releases: Former Rockstar developer talks about the release of GTA 6 on PC

Meaning: Used to lend weight to the following statement.
Example: ‘Realtalk, anyone who still believes in 2025 that animes are only for kids simply has no idea.’
Wild/ Wyld
Meaning: An expression of amazement, similar to ‘awesome’ or ‘intense’.
Example: ‘Bro, your aim is wyld.’
NPC
Meaning: ‘NPC’ actually stands for ‘Non-Player Character’, which in German means ‘Nicht-Spieler-Charakter’ and describes characters in gaming that are not controlled by a player, thus not human. Outside of gaming, this term is used sarcastically to express that someone behaves like a non-player character, for example because the person has no opinion of their own.
Example: ‘Look at this NPC.’
Same
Meaning: In German about ‘the same’; an expression of agreement, the Boomer alternative to ‘same’ is ‘dito’.
Example:
Person 1: ‘Wow, I really don’t feel like working tomorrow.’
Person 2: ‘Same!’
Speech
Meaning: An expression of agreement and a simultaneous request to the speaking person to continue their speech.
If you regularly use some of these terms yourselves, you are probably also a member of Generation Z or a relatively young Millennial – or at least young at heart.
How I Met Your Mother is one of the most popular comedy series of all time. The search for Ted’s wife and the stories of his friends captivated many viewers. Although the series was well received for years, many fans were dissatisfied with the final season. A YouTube channel explains why.
What is the problem with the last season? The finale of How I Met Your Mother failed to convince all fans. Compared to the other seasons, season 9 has the worst IMDB average of the series at 7.5, especially the finale is punished with a 5.5 (via Reddit).
There are probably several factors, but one YouTuber believes he knows the reason. Nerdstalgic is a channel that deals a lot with movies and series. In a YouTube video about How I Met Your Mother, he explains why the last season is so bad. He concludes: Marshall ruined it.
A trailer for season 8 can be found here:

How I Met Your Mother – Promo teaser for season 8 focusing on Barney
Marshall is not really present in the last season
What is the problem with Marshall? Marshall is Ted Mosby’s best friend and is played by Jason Segel. Nerdstalgic explains at the very beginning of the video that Marshall hardly makes appearances in the last season. He mainly appears in flashbacks and in the car, so he was not on the same set as the other part of the group.
This caused a lack of interactions and stories with the other main characters. It seemed as if he had not been planned for the wedding season at all, only to then reappear at the end in the main story.
This was mainly due to the fact that Jason Segel probably did not have much time. As Nerdstalgic explains in the video, contracts for successful series are made for multiple years. The main cast of How I Met Your Mother received a 7-year contract; there are no longer contracts in the USA.
Long contracts have pros and cons. On one hand, the actors have a steady job and a fixed structure. On the other hand, they are bound to the project for several years.
In How I Met Your Mother, another problem arose: The contracts of the main cast lasted 7 years, i.e., about 8 seasons. However, the series went on until season 9. After season 8, the contracts had to be extended. For Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, Josh Radnor, and Alyson Hannigan, this was not a problem, but Jason Segel hesitated.
Did Marshall not want to return? As Deadline reported on December 21, 2012, Segel hesitated to take on the role for season 9 of the series. He actually wanted to drop out, but after 11 hours he agreed anyway.
He never gave a reason for that, but in an actor’s roundtable from the Hollywood Reporter, he explains how he felt at that time.
I believe there was a phase in my life and career, about the last few years of How I Met Your Mother, when things were going well in both film and television, and everyone was telling me how well it was going. I was really unhappy.
Jason Segel about his time during the last years of How I Met Your Mother (via YouTube)
Later he adds that he did not know what to do next after How I Met Your Mother. Although he achieved so much, he wondered if he was good enough for dramatic roles.
Even though he had a secure job with How I Met Your Mother, he wondered what else he could do. The series allowed him many film roles that also took time. During the filming of the last seasons, he played leading roles in The Muppets, Bad Teacher, and Friends with Benefits.
He was at a point where he could choose roles, which is why he had less time to shoot for How I Met Your Mother. This also explains why he mainly has scenes without the others. These scenes were filmed in advance.
The last season of How I Met Your Mother had many problems
Did Jason Segel really ruin the last season? Nerdstalgic only explains a small part of the problems of season 9 in his video. The scenes with Marshall seem out of place and fragmented, but the ninth season has more issues. After all, the series is not only about Marshall.
The entire season focuses on the wedding between Robin and Barney, only to make that irrelevant again in the finale. This is unsatisfying. Furthermore, it means that one has to remain narratively within the wedding frame.
The story with the mother also has problems. After 9 seasons, you finally get to know her, and little is done with her within the last season. This is also frustrating at times.
Jason Segel’s desire to be more than just Marshall Eriksen is understandable. As an actor, one wants to try oneself out and do more than just pure comedy. Many actors go through this development, especially in the comedy field. After How I Met Your Mother, Segel was able to try out more, and one of his best roles is in an Apple series: A great comedy series with “Marshall” from How I Met Your Mother is perfect for anyone missing Scrubs

The great brother war has nearly wiped out the empire of Warhammer 40,000 and turned many chapters of Space Marines into traitors. One of these chapters specializes in secrecy and is so good at it that no one can truly say whether its members have actually turned to Chaos.
Of the 20 original chapters of the Space Marines, nearly half have fallen to Chaos and have since fought on the side of the dark gods. Only a single legion occupies a place somewhere between the fronts: the Alpha Legion.
Since its creation, the Alpha Legion has been a complete mystery, ensuring that no one really knows what its grand plan is. The legion confuses fans so much that it is now said: All rumors are true. And none of them.
Start video
Warhammer 40,000: The Cinematic Trailer for the Horus Heresy, the Great Brother War
A legion that even the Primarchs do not know
In fact, the Alpha Legion is regarded as the 20th legion of the first founding of the Space Marines, thus the “last” to be created. However, reports contradict each other – some claim that the Alpha Legion was the first prototype of the Astartes (although not the imperfect Thunder Warriors).
The Emperor allegedly created the Alpha Legion as a highly specialized unit responsible for infiltrations and similar tasks. Together with the Space Wolves and the Salamanders, their gene-seed is said to be so specific and secret that it is strictly kept separate from all other Space Marines.
Even the Primarch of the Alpha Legion is a complete mystery: Alpharius supposedly has a twin brother named Omegon. The two could be the same person or not. Or even everyone in the legion.
The legion itself has officially been destroyed at least three times. At least that is what the High Council of Terra claims. However, the Space Marines of the Alpha Legion are apparently not wiped out.
“My identity is unimportant. My function matters”
A special characteristic of the Alpha Legion is that each of its Space Marines looks almost identical. They use this to their advantage: to protect their identity, each of them pretends to be Alpharius.
This has led to cases where the Primarch was killed multiple times. Or maybe not, because perhaps it wasn’t him at all – or perhaps he doesn’t really exist.
During the great brother war, the Alpha Legion sided with Warmaster Horus, at least that’s the version known in the Imperium. Because even during the heresy, the Alpha Legion aided both the traitors and the loyalists.
The behavior of the legion causes confusion, not only in the universe but also among fans. On Reddit, a user is asking for help because he does not understand what exactly the Alpha Legion is and wants. Such things happen regularly. Veterans respond that this is exactly the plan.
The Alpha Legion has killed loyal Space Marines in various battles, sometimes devouring their memories and assuming their faces (literally) in order to infiltrate other chapters.
At the same time, they have hindered Horus’ efforts by helping loyal chapters build defenses and connect with other forces. This is said to have gone so far that even parts of the Alpha Legion itself have fallen victim to intrigues from other members.
Although the Inquisition and other imperial institutions classify the Alpha Legion as traitors and worshippers of Chaos, it is unclear what exactly the chapter’s plan is. The legion itself claims several things:
Parts of the Alpha Legion reject the doctrine of the Imperium and fight against it because they consider the future of the entire galaxy more important – similar to Horus.
Others see themselves as loyalists tasked with testing other loyalists and bear the burden of being seen as an enemy.
Rumor has it that the Alpha Legion is actually on a secret mission from the Emperor to infiltrate the traitors – and must therefore appear as a traitor legion themselves.
What exactly the case is, no one knows for sure, and fans suspect that it will never be clarified. Because this mystery surrounding the true motives of the Alpha Legion is part of the chapter’s identity, and without the secrecy, the fascination would be lost.
A new feature in World of Warcraft is causing a lot of discussions. Because with just one button, you will soon be able to do everything. Is the game becoming easier?
World of Warcraft has announced some major changes, primarily affecting the capabilities of addons in the game, as many of them Blizzard plans to incorporate directly into the standard interface. In the course of this announcement, a new feature was also mentioned that is expected to arrive in patch 11.1.7 – the “one-button feature”.
In future battles in WoW, players will only need to press the same button repeatedly to use the character’s various abilities.
Start video
3 absurde Bugs, die in WoW passiert sind
How does it work? The basic idea is that you can pull a new button onto your ability bar that automatically selects the best ability to cast for you. Instead of manually executing a rotation and responding to procs or various buffs, all of that will soon be possible with just one button.
The button is supposed to act “smartly”, adjusting according to the situation. It should automatically recognize whether you are engaged in combat with a single enemy or if there are enough enemies in range to justify an area effect ability.
Is there a downside? Yes, there is, and it’s quite significant. Those who use the one-button feature will experience a longer global cooldown. This will be increased by 0.2 seconds, as with the example of a rogue. It’s still unclear whether other classes with slightly longer casting times, such as mages, will receive a more significant penalty.
In simple terms, this means that players using the one-button feature will use fewer abilities in the same time compared to those who forgo the feature. Since around 10% – 20% fewer abilities can be used, performance will correspondingly be lower.
World of Warcraft will not be easier, just more accessible
What bothers me about the discussion is that in many cases, the purpose of this function and who it is actually intended for is completely overlooked.
When looking at the comments in the game’s subreddit or the official forum, the critique is: WoW is becoming increasingly easier. The game is being “simplified to stupidity” and soon, WoW will play itself, requiring no action at all.
That is simply not true. The target audience for this feature is not players competing at a higher level in the current endgame. Hardly anyone here will use the feature, as they will likely always be significantly weaker than someone who manually uses their abilities – due to the built-in penalty.
The feature is for people who either do not enjoy complex class systems with demanding rotations or, for various reasons – such as physical limitations – cannot press so many different buttons in a short time.
This feature provides many simply with a new option for the accessibility of the game. Just like settings for color blindness, controller support, or the arachnophobia mode.
Of course, one can now play the devil’s advocate and ask: “What if someone wants to troll me in M+ and uses this?”
Yes, that’s a possibility. The thing is, there are already countless ways to troll someone. If you are the kind of person who derives enjoyment from that, you will always find a way. And in this case, it wouldn’t be so bad, because you have a teammate who at least uses abilities.
But one should not always assume the worst. Good players who strive for high ratings and good performances will not use this feature. Because those who enjoy challenging content are likely to quickly become bored when they only have to press a single button and consequently fall significantly behind the performance of everyone else.
The player base of World of Warcraft is not solely made up of people who love to tackle high-difficulty dungeons, complete raids, or chase after high PvP ratings. There are also many who play WoW for other reasons. For role-playing. For collecting pets. For the long story and beautiful game world. For crafting. For some of them, the hundreds of talents and dozens of abilities per class are simply too much, and they do not enjoy learning the complexity behind it.
That there is a method to have a “light” variant in all combat situations, enabling one to easily accomplish the essentials to reach their goals, for which fights cannot be avoided – who could that really bother?
Just because one does not enjoy high-end fights, there is still a lot to enjoy in World of Warcraft. That is exactly what this feature is intended for. It will never affect the vast majority of you. And if it does, just take a deep breath – just like this WoW player who took the wind out of a flamer’s sails.

On Steam, you can try out a crazy cooperative shooter for free. This answers a rarely asked question: What would Helldivers 2 be like if you were fighting against mushrooms?
The shooter that provides the answer to this question is called Mycopunk: It is the first game from the developer Pigeons at Play. Devolver Digital is involved as the publisher in the project. There is already a demo for the cooperative shooter available on Steam.
You can watch a trailer for Mycopunk here:

Mycopunk: The Reveal Trailer for the New Co-op Shooter on Steam
Robots versus mushroom beings with a touch of Helldivers 2
What is the game about? You are a robot who gets one last chance to escape the junkyard. This chance is to join the danger squad of New Atlas and stop a planetary mushroom catastrophe that is infesting the planet.
Evoleo writes about the reveal trailer on YouTube: “Finally, a Deep Rock Galactic-Lethal Company-Borderlands-like cooperative shooter that I can play with my 3 friends.” burgerstockphoto adds: “Maybe add a bit of Helldivers to that.”
Visually, the game reminds you of titles like Deep Rock Galactic, Borderlands, or Lethal Company with its cartoon look. In terms of story, expect something more like Helldivers 2: the SAXON corporation that has hired you seems rather dubious and authoritarian. Of course, that doesn’t prevent you from risking your digital life in the fight against hordes of mushroom creatures.
The demo sends you on two missions where you fight against the mushroom invasion. You will have access to futuristic weapons and some electric tools that you can tinker with. Partially, you will be required to equip your weapons with some pretty crazy upgrades.
Steam demo receives “very positive” reviews
The demo on Steam is already being very well received: Of the 61 reviews that exist so far, 91% are positive.
Shizuyoko has already spent over 11 hours in the demo. His conclusion: “Great demo, full of fun activities with friends, but also playable solo” (via Steam)
Etrice has spent just under 2 hours in it and writes: “Very, very cool game/demo that feels like a combination of two games I personally have played: Roboquest and Deep Rock Galactic. It’s not perfect and could use a few adjustments, but I’m still excited to see what the developers come up with.” (via Steam)
Neryss is thrilled after over 2 hours: “Okay, I’m in love – the game especially has fantastic art direction! The gameplay feels smooth and rewarding, the classes are fun to play, and the weapons are great, with clever gimmicks that are more than just gimmicks. […] If you like DRG [Deep Rock Galactic], you should definitely give this game a try” (via Steam)
When will Mycopunk be released? An exact date for the full release has not yet been set. However, the developers reveal on the Steam page for the demo that the game is expected to be released in 2025.

The Echo of Duriel is one of the hardest bosses in Diablo 4. We will show you how to summon and defeat him, as well as what you should pay attention to.
Update, May 2, 2025: The article has been revised and updated for Season 8.
How to summon Duriel: To summon the Echo of Duriel, you no longer need special mats since Season 8. You can simply enter his dungeon and summon him at the altar. Go to the dungeon “Gaping Chasm” at a torment level. You can find the dungeon southeast of Gea Kul. Once there, just interact with the summoning altar and the boss fight will begin.
After defeating Duriel, a chest spawns that you can open using the known mats to get his loot:
2x Shard of Torment
You can obtain it from chests in the Whispering Tree, from Hell Floods, from Treasure Goblins, and from the boss “Grigoire” in the “Hall of Atonement” dungeon
2x Slime-Infused Egg
You can obtain it from chests in the Whispering Tree, from Hell Floods, from Treasure Goblins, and from the boss “Varshan” in the “Beehive” dungeon
What level is Duriel?With Season 6, Blizzard abolished the often criticized world tiers and integrated a new difficulty system. The monster levels correspond to the level at which they are played, and are no longer displayed. Thus, Duriel’s level depends on your difficulty level, as well as the enemies that await you in the “Gaping Chasm”.

Diablo 4: Defeating Duriel – What You Need to Pay Attention To
Another point is your poison resistance. This should be at least over 70 % so that you can start the fight more comfortably. If your resistance is not that high, you can temporarily increase your resistance with a poison resistance potion. Duriel is a poisonous boss, and his attacks can quickly take a toll on you if you don’t have enough resistance.
Lastly, it is important to pay attention to his attacks and dodge at the right moment. He will charge at you, create holes, or rain debris down on you. So to avoid being killed by a few rocks, pay attention to the warnings and dodge at the right moment.
What loot does Duriel drop? Since Season 8, the stronghold bosses no longer only drop loot from their specific pool, but also other uniques that the respective class can use.
With Duriel, you have a chance for the following specific uniques:
All classes: Godslayer Crown, Flickering Step, Tibault’s Will, Rusty Sigil Ring of X’Fal, Soulburn, Talisman of the Banished Prince, Blue Wrath
Barbarians: Joritz the Mighty’s Hackerman Helmet
Sorcerers: Flame Scar, Blue Rose
Druids: Storm Roar, Dolmenstone
Hunters: Cowl of the Nameless, Rogue’s Leather
Necromancers: Black River, Blood Moon Pebbles
Spiritborn: Sepazontec, Staff of Kepeleke
You can summon all stronghold bosses starting from torment level 1 to farm specific uniques. For a greater challenge, you can unlock higher torment levels in the pit.

In the history of WoW, there have been some achievements and titles that cannot be earned anymore today. This is particularly frustrating when you met the associated requirements in time, but the rewards were never granted due to a bug. One affected individual fought with Blizzard for 12 years to rectify this.
Which achievement from WoW is it about? During the “Mists of Pandaria” expansion, Warlocks could stumble upon a “Sealed Tome of the Lost Legion” on the Isle of Thunder and start a quest line that allowed them to earn exclusive achievements, titles, and the so-called “green fire” for the Warlock’s fire spells.
The latter is still possible today. The achievement “Breaker of the Black Harvest” as well as the associated title “of the Black Harvest” were later turned into feats of strength and removed from the MMORPG.
Another, but very nice story from the WoW community:

12 Years of Struggle with Blizzard Support
What exactly was the problem with the achievement? On Reddit, WoW player Gaspinawe describes that he met the requirements for the achievement and title with his Warlock in time, but he was never rewarded in the game for it. From his perspective, it was clear: This must be a bug. So he contacted Blizzard’s support to have it checked.
This marked the beginning of a 12-year journey that apparently consisted of countless “tickets, screenshots, logs, and GM chats.” Despite all the information and evidence provided, the response every year was always polite and the same: “Unfortunately, we can no longer verify that.”
In early 2024, Gaspinawe then frustratingly gave up. He also lost interest in his Warlock due to the long fight. Blizzard and the bug had won.
Does it come to a happy ending? This week, Gaspinawe had a lucky day with his Druid. From Tindral in Amirdrassil, he finally got the “Feather of the Red Smoke Moon,” which allows you to take on the form of the Fire Moonkin. And then from Fyrakk, the “Reins of Anu’relos, Guidance of the Flame” also dropped.
A jackpot day, then.
And what did Gaspinawe do? Fill out a lottery ticket? Nope! Create another ticket for Blizzard support? Yup! And behold: “A legendary Blizzard employee graced me with their glorious presence and finally bestowed upon me the title of a member of the Black Harvest.” After 12 years, he finally received his recognition on this lucky day.
How does the community react to this? With over 1,600 upvotes and more than 115 comments.
Zaratana shares on Reddit that he has gone through something similar: “It was the same for me with the Death Wheel of the Warlord. I got it 10 years after logging in.”
Nice_Strawberry5512 writes on Reddit: “I am so glad you finally achieved the accomplishment, but it’s incredibly disappointing that it took 12 years to find someone at Blizz CS who was willing to do their job…”
LucaTheSaurus continues to fight for the title, via Reddit: “I was never logged in during the pre-patch for Warlords of Draenor and therefore never received my title, even though I played the scenario during the Throne of Thunder patch. Countless tickets, without success.”
