Buffs and Nerfs in WoW – Wednesday will change which class is the best again

Before the start of Season 2, World of Warcraft is bringing a lot of buffs and nerfs. We will show how your class changes on Wednesday.

In a few hours, World of Warcraft will kick off the second season of The War Within. To ensure a smooth launch and that all classes are approximately on equal footing, there will be another round of buffs and nerfs. Essentially, it’s one last fine-tuning before we dive into the raid “The Liberation of Lorenhall” and the new “Mythic+” dungeons on Wednesday.

What changes? Basically, many classes are seeing fine-tuning in the low percent range. However, some talents will also be drastically buffed or nerfed, and adjustments are made to the set pieces from the new raid. In brief, the changes are summarized as follows:

  • Nerfs for Ferocity Druids, Mistweaver Monks, Discipline Priests, Subtlety Rogues, and Protection Warriors.
  • Buffs for Unholy Death Knights, Devastation Evokers, and Assassination Rogues.
  • All other specializations receive adjustments in both directions or remain untouched.

Why are the changes so important? The buffs and nerfs on Wednesday are the final fine-tuning before the second season of The War Within begins.

Typically, Blizzard holds back on further adjustments until the “World First” race is over. Only then do new buffs and nerfs happen more frequently, both for player characters and raid bosses. Blizzard intervenes earlier only if there are extreme outliers, but that is rather rare.

For an Achievement in Monster Hunter Wilds, you need a lot of time – But a hidden feature makes it much easier

Hunters looking for trophies and achievements in Monster Hunter Wilds have quite a bit to do. Some of these tasks can be really time-consuming. A seemingly useless item can help you save a lot of time.

What are achievements? In Monster Hunter Wilds, there are currently around 50 trophies / achievements that you can achieve as a hunter. To earn them, you need to complete specific tasks and receive digital awards in return. Some of these can be achieved quite easily while simply playing the game.

However, some require a bit more invested time, such as reaching Hunter Rank 100 or earning 1,000,000 Zenny. Usually, the time can also be significantly shortened. An item can help you considerably reduce the time for some achievements.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Listen to the Field Expert Alma

Which achievements are we talking about? These are the achievements for which you need to hunt enough monsters that have a crown. However, this crown is not necessarily directly recognizable on the respective monsters, and many players just attack and hope they have a special monster in their sights.

Particularly cumbersome is the achievement “Collection of Large Crowns,” for which you need to hunt many monsters with golden crowns. An item that initially seems inconspicuous can save you from unnecessary hunts.

Which item helps with this? We are talking about the binoculars. What initially seems to be useful only for observing from a distance can provide hunters with valuable additional information. This includes whether the monster currently roaming the area has a crown.

When you pull out your binoculars and target a monster, it shows you an icon of the monster, which may have either a silver or gold crown. If you see such a monster, you can then specifically hunt it without having to hope blindly that you need that monster for your achievement.

What if I’m currently hunting another monster? Don’t panic; if you discover a required monster but are currently busy with another one, you should open your map. Here, you can see the monsters that are currently in the area and save it for later as an “investigation.” For this, you need guild points.

Once you’ve saved the investigation, you can specifically hunt the monster later by starting an investigation quest with Alma. This way, you can also share this hunt with your friends and help them achieve the achievement faster as well. Together, you can work towards the goal.

Pokémon GO: New Event Gives You 5 Days to Catch a Rare Shiny

The Color Festival returns to Pokémon GO. There is a new Shiny, and Master Painter Farbeagle is back again.

When does the Color Festival take place? The Color Festival 2025 starts on March 13 at 10:00 AM. It ends on March 17 at 8:00 PM. So it runs from Thursday to Monday, giving you a long weekend to take advantage of the bonuses.

What is the highlight of the Color Festival? Basically, there are two highlights, because those who are out hunting for Shinies have two interesting options here.

On one hand, Shiny Farbeagle is returning. This is only available during limited time periods, like the Color Festival. Once the event is over, the shiny Painter Pokémon will no longer appear. So make sure to make the most of those 5 days. You can encounter Farbeagle as always only through the Snapshot feature.

On the other hand, there is a debut: The Pokémon Knirfish is appearing for the first time in its Shiny variant in Pokémon GO. It can spawn in the wild, but as always, you need a lot of luck to encounter the Shiny.

However, there are more bonuses during the event, which we will list for you below.

„We deeply apologize“ – developers of Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 deny that the shooter will be a service game

The cooperative shooter Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 was a success for developer Saber Interactive in September 2024. Since then, the game has received several updates that brought new content, some of which caused discontent in the community. Now the developers have apologized.

Why are the developers apologizing? In the past, Space Marine 2 held community events that promised cosmetic content as a reward for completing a challenge.

In December 2024, the Decimation Event was launched, requiring 10 victories in the operations. Anyone who achieved the required 10 victories by January 20, 2025, received an “exclusive skin” for the chainsword as a reward (via focus-entmt.com). The announcement at the time stated: “You don’t want to miss this one, Space Marine, so get ready and head back to the battlefield!”

The community criticized the possibility of missing out on a skin if players do not participate in a time-limited event. This fosters the fear of missing out (short: FOMO).

Space Marine 2 does not want to be a complete service game

What do the developers say? Saber Interactive stated that in the future, all content that was made available through events would be made available to every player (via focus-entmt.com).

The community events are said by the developers to be a way to obtain this content earlier and not to cause stress or frustration. The developers promised: “We do not intend to turn Space Marine 2 into a full-fledged live service game.”

The developers further stated that they need to ensure a smoother unlocking of the items and apologized to the players: “We deeply apologize for the annoyance and are currently working on a simplified process for unlocking items to make the experience less restrictive.”

New information on upcoming content: In addition to apologizing to the community, the developers also announced a few new details about the upcoming update and the content it will include.

With update 7.0, the cooperative shooter is set to receive a new weapon for PvE and a new operation, as well as the ability to create private PvP lobbies.

Despite the criticism of the community events, Space Marine 2 is a real success for Saber Interactive. The studio’s CCO stated in an interview in January 2025 why the shooter is so successful: Head of Warhammer explains why Space Marine 2 is so successful and why the next title may not need to be

One of the few new MMORPGs from 2025 costs less than a coffee already

With The Quinfall, a new MMORPG started its Early Access on Steam on January 24, 2025. Just a few weeks later, you can secure the game for almost free.

What is the current price of The Quinfall? On Steam, you can secure the MMORPG from Vawraek Technology for 1.95 euros until March 10, 2025. Normally, the EA access costs 19.50 euros. So, you can save 90 percent off the original price.

What is noticeable: Apparently, various curious players have already jumped in over the weekend. According to steamdb.info, the player numbers for The Quinfall have noticeably increased since Friday, February 28, 2025 – from 1,536 to 4,490 simultaneous active players (peak from the last 24 hours).

21 minutes of gameplay from The Quinfall:

Still a lot of criticism, but the trend is positive

Is the nearly 2 euros worth it? The Quinfall aims to be a very extensive, ambitious MMORPG that wants to offer just about every feature that you’ve ever seen in an online role-playing game.

However, the Early Access version seems very unfinished in all areas – the only 22 percent positive reviews at launch clearly reflected this. That they can reach the final launch within the planned six months seems unrealistic given the number of issues.

But: the trend is positive. The 1,453 reviews from the past 30 days were already 59 percent positive. Various fans praise the amount of content, the noticeable progress the game has made in recent weeks, and the enormous potential.

However, there is still a lot of criticism regarding monetization (in-game shop, multiple subscriptions, high prices for cosmetics), technology, combat, as well as the increasing number of cheaters, which are already said to negatively impact the gaming experience. Because of all these problems, The Quinfall is also a strong candidate for an early demise for me: Which MMOs will die in 2025? I’m worried about 5 games

Last Epoch Tier List: Best Builds & Classes in Endgame

MeinMMO shows you the best builds for every class in the tier list for Last Epoch, which reach the highest levels in the arena.

Update from March 3, 2025: We have updated the list with current numbers and builds for patch 1.1.7.

What are the best classes? Mages, especially Sorcerers, currently provide the most powerful builds, closely followed by Warlocks (Acolyte) and Falconers (Rogue).

In general, however, it has been true since before the release of Last Epoch: Any build can work. As long as you have a little knowledge of how to play, you can manage with any build, claims the community. Nevertheless, there are a few builds that can tackle endgame content even faster and better than others.

Are you having difficulties? Here you can find the 3 best classes to start in Last Epoch.

[toc]

Who creates the tier list? We source our data from various experts and specialized sites like Icy Veins, Last Epoch Tools, and the specialists from maxroll.gg. In addition, our own experience and assessments are included.

As a basis for the strength of the builds, we take the arena, as you can climb the leaderboards in this. However, most builds are suitable for any endgame content.

What does “S” to “D” mean? In the tier list, builds are categorized by letters. In this case, “S” stands for the best build, while “D” stands for the worst.

Currently, Last Epoch is in the Harbingers of Ruin update with patch 1.1.7. Season 2 starts in April 2025:

Start video
Last Epoch: Trailer for Season 2 of the Diablo Competitor

S Tier: The best builds in the game

In the S tier, you will find builds that are so strong that they practically play themselves, and with which you can progress further without much thought than with anything else. Currently, the following builds are in the S tier:

A Tier: Strong builds that can easily handle everything

A-tier builds are only minimally weaker than those in the S tier, which, however, will be hardly relevant for most players. If nothing in the S tier appeals to you, you will find builds here that will likely get you just as far:

B Tier: Decent builds for more options

Builds in the B tier are minimally worse than those in the higher tiers but offer more options and are still somewhat experimental. However, you will find effective builds for classes that are generally slightly weaker than others:

C Tier: The Off-Meta

Here you will find builds that generally perform worse than the better builds, but are still stronger than most of what you would find elsewhere. The C tier is a playground for somewhat absurd, funny, or simply different builds that provide variety:

D Tier: Hands off!

D Tier builds are usually not worth it. You can use them as a template to come up with something yourself or polish them up, but if you are playing with a guide anyway, we recommend builds from the higher tiers:

Since its release, Last Epoch has steadily lost players. A few hundred loyal fans still play regularly, and new updates regularly bring back tens of thousands of returnees. If you are looking for something to fill the time between seasons, you can find the best ARPGs and games like Diablo here.

Dragon Ball Daima is over after 20 episodes – What are the chances for a sequel?

Dragon Ball Daima has now come to an end. Just recently, the last episode aired. With this, the anime is concluded after 20 episodes. The success could pave the way for a continuation, but what is the status of a second season?

Is there official information about a continuation? So far, it has not been officially confirmed that there will be a continuation. As anime producer Akio Iyoku revealed on MantanWeb, Dragon Ball Daima was created independently of other projects, even before the actual story was established. It was intended to differ from the rest of the series and appeal to both adults and children.

This could indicate that there is no continuation of the anime. Although the story can be placed in the timeline of the Dragon Ball franchise, it is a story detached from the rest, similar to Dragon Ball GT. Therefore, it is likely that the story is already complete and there are no plans for a continuation.

Furthermore, the creator of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, contributed to most of the anime towards the end. Since the mangaka has now passed away, a continuation would create potential logical gaps.

However, there is a tiny glimmer of hope that the production team might decide on a continuation after all.

In Dragon Ball Daima, many questions from the franchise are answered:

Start video
Dragon Ball Daima – New Trailer Shows the Demon Realm

There is hope for a continuation of Dragon Ball Daima

Why could there still be a second season? Currently, the production team of Dragon Ball Daima remains silent about a possible continuation. However, there are two things the team did not know before creating the anime that could allow for a second season:

  • The ratings for Dragon Ball Daima are much higher than they were for Dragon Ball GT. The two anime are similar in premise and therefore comparable. On IMDb, the new anime currently has 8.0 / 10 ratings, while GT has only 6.8 / 10 ratings. Thus, Daima is only slightly behind Dragon Ball (8.5) and Dragon Ball Z (8.8). It is well received by the audience.
  • There is a scene that runs after the credits. In this scene, Son-Goku, Panzy, and the others find a vessel with more demon eyes. King Gomah used one of the eyes to become a great threat. With multiple eyes, Son-Goku would have to plunge back into battle and grow beyond himself.

Since the story was not finished at the beginning of the anime, it is possible that the team decided during production to leave the option of a second season open with the post-credit scene. However, since there has been no official confirmation of a second season yet, you should not expect a continuation anytime soon.

What is next for Dragon Ball? Toyotarou is the official successor to Akira Toriyama and will continue the Dragon Ball Super manga. Currently, he is still on a break. When it resumes, it may be that the story will not have many more chapters: Dragon Ball Super could end soon despite a successor for Toriyama, being close to the official end of the story

Players from Monster Hunter Wilds celebrate Alma: “Give me permission to hunt, I want to turn it into a hat”

Alma is the field expert of the hunter from Monster Hunter Wilds. Only when she gives her permission, are you allowed to take up arms and hunt monsters. This task has a whimsical meme potential.

What does Alma do? The young woman takes care of organizing monster hunting missions, approvals, and quests as a field expert. She constantly provides advice and assistance to the hunter, and only when she gives permission, are you allowed to attack a monster within its ecosystem.

The approval to hunt is essential. Anyone who hunts a monster that has not been registered for quests or released by Alma is classified as a poacher and hunted by the executive of the expedition guild. At least theoretically. In practice, this cannot happen in the game.

Around this sentence and Alma’s role, a real meme fireworks display has developed mainly on Reddit over the past few days.

All 9 Ring Bearers from Lord of the Rings in the Power Ranking – Who resisted the temptation best?

In the story of The Lord of the Rings, there were a total of nine ring bearers. Some held the One Ring for only a few seconds. Others kept it for years. But who handled the tremendous power of the Ring the best?

The story of the Ring: In the Second Age, the One Ring was created by Sauron to control the Rings of Power. It existed for almost 5,000 years before it was ultimately destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom.

However, for over 50% of this time, the Ring was considered lost and nearly forgotten. For it lay at the bottom of the Anduin River.

How was the ranking established? The ability of the ring bearers to resist the power of the One Ring partly depends on how long they possessed the Ring.

But there are also other factors. Some races, for example, have proven to be more resistant than others. And individual personality also plays a crucial role.

Screenrant.com has gathered exciting details about the ring bearers and sorted them into a ranking.

Spoiler warning: To explain the ranking, there are some spoilers about the “The Lord of the Rings” universe.

The Lord of the Rings - Deagol

Place 9: Déagol

After the One Ring had been lost in the Anduin River for over 2,000 years, it was found by a simple hobbit named Déagol. During a leisurely fishing trip, he discovered the sparkling treasure, the true power of which he could not recognize.

But the find did not bring luck to Déagol. His companion and friend Sméagol wanted the Ring as well and promptly killed Déagol.

Since Déagol only had the Ring for a short time, it is hard to say how well he could have resisted its influence in the long term. However, it is known that the hobbit did not have particularly good character and would likely have fallen to the evil temptations quickly.

In just a few minutes, the Ring led Déagol to place his own greed above a long-standing friendship. Thus, he lands in 9th place in this ranking.

WoW: A quest item from Lorenhall is causing chaos, destroying characters all over the world

A quest item from the latest patch of World of Warcraft is causing chaos. Because it can be used to eliminate all others.

Patch 11.1 Lorenhalt has been live in World of Warcraft for a few days, and there are several bugs and errors. One has led to the ability to kill other player characters and even NPCs that are supposed to be friendly all over the world.

Once again, it is Rextroy who has documented the error in a video. With a massive army of slimes, he moves through the game world, killing many characters who have no idea what is coming for them.

WoW Patch 11.1: Gallywix’s Control over the Cartels

What does the quest item do? The “Semi-Deluxe Noggenfogger Elixirs” are meant to be used during the quest “Potion Riot” to involve unwanted NPCs in battles with slimes. However, the item could also be taken out of the quest area and used anywhere in the world. When you do this, the slimes also appear and attack the current target – regardless of whether it is friendly or hostile.

Rextroy shows in his video how he kills innocent – and very confused – newcomers, as well as large and notable NPCs like M.U.T.T.E.R. or Magni Bronzebeard. Stormwind is also overrun by slimes, sending many characters to the digital afterlife. But see for yourself:

Can you still use it? No, the bug has been fixed, and the quest item now works – as intended – only in the immediate area of the actual quest. It is no longer possible to ruin other players’ days drastically or trigger a slime apocalypse in Stormwind.

Is this even allowed? Generally, it is of course allowed to use items in the game – even in a creative way. However, if it turns into griefing and others feel significantly disturbed, for instance by being killed repeatedly, this can certainly lead to account penalties. Exploiting such bugs, like taking advantage of an exploit in a raid to easily obtain loot, can also be sanctioned.

Rextroy usually reports the bugs he finds immediately to Blizzard, so the bugs are often fixed by the time his video is released. This is for the best, as otherwise, World of Warcraft would quickly descend into chaos – because exploits can sometimes deal 100,000,000 damage in PvP with a single click.

Monster Hunter Wild: Finding and Collecting Frost Bags Efficiently

Those who want to find Monster Hunter Wilds Frostbags must prepare for a tough fight. MeinMMO explains where to get Frostbags and what to expect.

Frostbags are valuable materials in Monster Hunter Wilds that you will need later for various equipment. However, unlike honey or melting stones, Frostbags are not found in nature; instead, you must defeat a beast: a Hirabami (see title image).

You can fight Hirabami even with a low hunter rank. Therefore, you do not need to have completed the main story yet. Hirabami can be encountered for the first time in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Since Frostbags are located inside Hirabami, as they are organs, you cannot directly search the map for Frostbags. Instead, you must mark the monsters on the map in order to fight them later. Since Hirabami are quite large, they are easy to spot on the map.

Tips for fighting Hirabami: Hirabami can fly and hold onto the environment with its large tail. The beast uses ice attacks. Therefore, items with ice resistance are advantageous. Otherwise, Hirabami has the following strengths and weaknesses:

  • Locations: Ice Shard Cliffs and Ruins of Wyveria
  • Resistance: Ice
  • Elemental Weaknesses: Fire and Lightning
  • Status Weaknesses: Poison, Sleep, Paralysis, Explosion, Stun, Fatigue
  • Weak Point: Head

Additionally, there is a chance that you will receive Frostbags at the end of the hunt as part of a “Target Reward.” However, the chance is “only” 23%.

10 intense scenes from The Last of Us 2 that HBO must get right

It won’t be long until the second season of the series adaptation of The Last of Us from HBO is released. The first episode of the new season will be released on April 13, 2025. With the remaining waiting time, alongside excitement, the expectations of MeinMMO author Caro are rising. She really enjoyed the first season but hopes that important scenes in the second season do not lose their power.

Warning: Spoilers! This list contains content that appears in The Last of Us, The Last of Us: Part II, and the first season of the HBO series.

The Last of Us has been one of the most formative video games for me for many years and is very dear to me. It was the first game I ever played on my first PlayStation (for which I was definitely old enough.) I played it for hours with my father and grew to love the story, the characters, and especially Ellie. Since then, the game has accompanied me daily with my first tattoo.

For this reason, the announcement of an adaptation in the form of a series initially worried me that it might ruin my beloved game (for whatever reason).

However, I surprisingly enjoyed the first season of the series! It was a different but not a bad experience and provided me with new insights and perspectives on various situations and characters. Bella and Pedro immediately captivated me, just as did the sets, costumes, and effects. They allowed me to experience the world of The Last of Us anew, for which I am very grateful.

Here you can see the trailer for the second season of HBO’s The Last of Us:

The Last of Us: Trailer for Season 2 Reveals Release Date

Now the second season is just around the corner, and I am waiting for it this time with somewhat heightened expectation and a mix of excitement and concern (those who know, know). It was already clear in the first season that the series tells the story differently as a medium than a video game, which I also liked. Less action, but a bit more drama, more backstory; I was okay with that.

For this reason, I am curious whether some particularly intense moments in the series adaptation can have the same effect as they did in the game. I am particularly looking forward to the following moments.

The Horde of Infected in the Snow

A horde of infected approaches
A horde of infected approaches.

Right at the beginning of the game, we see how a whole horde can develop from individual infected. Abby fights her way through the snow and the weather and has to fend off infected who want to attack her at various points. At first, this works quite well, but the situation escalates further.

While individual infected can be managed quite well, there is nothing to do against a horde but to run away.

In the trailer for the second season, you can already see some brief moments of this scene with masses of bodies approaching at high speed. Even in the first season, HBO proved that the masses of infected are really impressive. The actors were even provided with an infected boot camp. Therefore, I am convinced that it will work just as well in the second season.

In the new Marvel movie, Captain America fights against a nasty enemy – but it’s not a classic villain

Two weeks ago, with Captain America: Brave New World, the fourth film about the titular superhero was released. In the film, however, he not only fights against classic villains but also against entirely different problems.

What has been criticized so far? Previously, Captain America: Brave New World was criticized for its quality issues. Visually, the film resembles a cheap television production, according to the community. In particular, the special effects are considered insufficient and look worse than in comparable productions.

The action sequences, especially the fight choreography, were also heavily criticized. They are deemed too slow and boring. Furthermore, Sam Wilson’s portrayal as the new Captain America is somehow unbelievable, which his state-of-the-art equipment cannot compensate for.

Particularly in the final part, additional criticism emerges. For besides the aforementioned points, the new Captain seems to be fighting not only against villains but also against significant plot holes.

Captain America: Brave New World – Trailer of the Movie

Of Failed Brainwashing and Ignored Events

What plot holes exist in Captain America: Brave New World? As Gamerant has compiled, there are mainly 3 major plot holes that make the film unbelievable. First, there is the leader’s plan involving brainwashing. Initially, it seems dangerous and brilliant. The idea of manipulating heroes using light signals and music has something menacing about it. However, as the plot progresses, this plan raises more questions.

For example, it remains unclear how the leader even got to his victims, how the brainwashing worked, and why he didn’t also influence Captain America or President Ross. A single offhand comment from Ross – that the leader “can hack into files, so why not manipulate people too?” – serves as a poor explanation. Given the central role of this plan, a more detailed explanation would have been desirable.

Another point is that Captain America: Brave New World completely ignores the revelations and events from the series Secret Invasion.

Especially since Ross now replaces a president who turned out to be a Skrull after the Skrull infiltration was revealed in the series, it seems implausible that no actions are taken. One of the biggest revelations in MCU history would simply be overlooked here, as if it never happened.

A third point is that bad news spreads in the film in a strange way, almost instantaneously.

An example is the attack on Isaiah Bradley by the brainwashed followers of the leader. Although Sam and Joaquin have already been dismissed by President Ross, Joaquin immediately receives a warning about the events in the Raft – but from whom he received it remains unclear. Also, why Sam learns of this before the president knows is a mystery, as Ross seems to be informed much later.

Even more absurd is when the leader confronts the media, who all seem to suddenly be aware of his manifesto against Ross. While Ross is giving a press conference, he is already confronted with the revelations – as if the news had spread around the world in seconds.

These and similar quality gaps apparently lead to the new Marvel film receiving rather average reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, it currently has a score of just 49%, with the audience rating it at 79%. On IMDb, the film receives a rating of 6.1 out of 10 stars.

The performance of Harrison Ford is often highlighted as particularly positive. He recently stated in his trademark style what Marvel had to do to get him to play the Red Hulk: ‘It’s not magic, it’s commerce’ – Harrison Ford explains how Marvel got him to play Red Hulk

Is Monster Hunter Wilds included for free in the Microsoft Game Pass?

Monster Hunter Wilds is available on Steam, PS5, and Xbox. But is the game included in the Game Pass at no extra cost? Many players hope to play Monster Hunter Wilds at no additional cost using the Game Pass.

Monster Hunter Wilds is not exactly cheap at 69.99 euros for PC and 79.99 euros for consoles (PS5, Xbox). Many therefore hope that the game is included in the Game Pass so they can play it at no extra cost. We’ll tell you about the situation of Monster Hunter Wilds in the Game Pass.

Monster Hunter Wilds is about to be released: Here’s what you should know before buying

Monster Hunter Wilds and the Game Pass

Is Monster Hunter Wilds in the Game Pass? No, at the current time (as of March 2025) it is not. If you want to play Monster Hunter Wilds, you must purchase the game either via Steam, in the PS Store for PS5, or for Xbox Series X/S.

If you want to play online on PS5 or Xbox, the respective online subscription is also required. All important information about the multiplayer and co-op of Monster Hunter Wilds can be found directly on MeinMMO.

Could Monster Hunter Wilds come to the Game Pass? This is actually not unlikely: Monster Hunter Rise was available in the Game Pass at release, and Monster Hunter World is now also included in the Game Pass. It could happen that Microsoft adds Wilds to the Game Pass later. At the current time (March 2025), however, this is pure speculation.

On which platforms is Monster Hunter Wilds currently available?

  • PC (Steam)
  • PS5, including “PS5 Pro Enhanced” mode

This is what Harry Potter would be like if it were written the way you think Gen Z speaks

Harry’s name is cringe and Mrs. Dursley is a Karen. That’s how it is in a fan version that transforms Harry Potter into a text in the spirit of Generation Z – or at least their idea of how the generation speaks.

What is this text about? Every generation has its own way of speaking. Whether Boomers, Millennials or Generation Z, certain expressions are mainly used by a specific age group. However, people who do not belong to a specific generation tend to perceive this “generational slang” much more strongly than it actually is.

Generation Z, or Gen Z, refers to the generation born approximately between 1995 and 2010. So members of this generation are now between 14 and 30 years old.

Some fans of Harry Potter “translate” the book series into the style of Generation Z, turning it into a kind of teenage comedy – because the translation is of course completely exaggerated and takes the “slang” of the generation to the extreme.

Dursleys flexing, Harry with the Sigma grindset

The highlights of the Gen Z translation: We fought our way through some pages of the Gen Z translation and jotted down a few highlights for you. However, the project is in English, so we only selected excerpts that are sensibly translatable into German.

  • Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, liked to flex about how down-to-earth they were. Tbh, they were the last people you’d think would be sus. […] Mrs. Dursley was a total Karen and could never chill.
  • Lily Potter was Mrs. Dursley’s sis, but Mrs. D ghosted her; irl (no cap), Mrs. D claimed to have no sister because Lil and her loser husband were just cringe.
  • Harry was in his Sigma grindset and woke up mega early the next morning. He knew it was bright outside, but he kept his eyes closed. “That was just a dream,” he said to himself. “I was definitely tripping because no way did a giant named Hagrid tell me I’m going to a school for wizards.”

If you understand English and want to take a look at “Gen Z Harry Potter,” you can find books 1, 2, and 4 on Github.

What do the slang terms mean? If you’re having trouble understanding the quotes from the Gen Z translation, we’ll help you out:

  • Flexing = showing off
  • Tbh = to be honest
  • sus = suspicious
  • ghosting = ignoring
  • irl = in real life
  • no cap = no lie
  • cringe = embarrassing
  • Sigma/ Sigma Male = confident, solitary man
  • Grindset = the mindset of “Sigmas” that prioritizes work and success, kind of like grinding; a mindset focused on the grind
  • safe = definitely, for sure
  • tripping = being high, hallucinating
  • no way = no chance, never

You will probably mostly hear these terms among members of Generation Z or young Millennials. However, there are also expressions that are primarily used by Boomers and that younger generations shake their heads at: 5 things that only Boomers say and Gen Z would never say

A Master Butcher Streams His Everyday Life on Twitch and 10,000 People Love It

On Twitch, a butcher streams his daily work. He cuts up meat, processes it further, and gives his followers recipe tips. MeinMMO introduces you to this unconventional Twitch streamer.

Who is it about? It is about the Twitch channel MetzgermeisterRoegele. There, he streams his daily life in the butcher shop, equipped with a microphone on his apron. He is already working and streaming in the early morning hours.

On Twitch, the master butcher has 10,535 followers, and his average viewership is 384 per stream (via sullygnome). He streams in the “Just Chatting” category, but the actual content is his work as a butcher.

The streaming platform Twitch is actually dominated by gaming content. In the video, we introduce you to three prominent German female Twitch streamers:

Master butcher expands content on Twitch

What are the contents of the streams? In his streams, Master Butcher Rögele gives an insight into his professional daily life. Live animals are never seen, only partially processed meat, which he then processes further.

Furthermore, he educates about the profession of a butcher and also shows how to clean his workspace properly in a butcher shop.

For a change and to encourage his community to donate, he organizes small challenges from time to time. If the audience supports him enough during the stream, Rögele has to undergo some challenges himself. This could be doing push-ups or eating Vienna sausages with Nutella.

On his YouTube channel, the master butcher uploads past streams from his Twitch channel and often elaborate recipes, such as a recipe for a traditional sauce for a Christmas roast.

Finally, Rögele also has his own online shop where he sells everything a butcher’s heart desires: including sausage, knives, or ragout. He also sells his own merchandise.

The world of content creators is a colorful mix. While gamers are very prevalent on the internet, skilled trades are also finding their place more and more.

Creators of ArcheAge and Lineage wanted to celebrate their greatest success with a new MMORPG, but that won’t happen

South Korean developer Jake Song has made a name for himself among MMORPG fans with ArcheAge and Lineage. The new ArcheAge Chronicles was supposed to be his biggest success yet. But that won’t happen.

Is ArcheAge Chronicles being canceled? No! The ambitious MMORPG from XL Games is still set to be released in 2026 for PC and consoles. Just without Jake Song as the lead developer. As reported by the South Korean website news.bizwatch.co.kr, the founder and former CEO of the studio is expected to leave the team after 22 years in January 2025.

No reason for the sudden separation is given in the report. However, it seems clear that General Producer Ham Yong-jin will now take over the development of ArcheAge Chronicles.

Here is the first trailer for ArcheAge Chronicles:

What do I need to know about Jake Song? Many ArcheAge fans associate Jake Song with the main responsibility for the negative direction that the MMORPG has taken over time. He admitted several mistakes a few years ago that he had to take responsibility for as the head. With ArcheAge Chronicles, Song wanted to do better.

What is known about ArcheAge Chronicles? ArcheAge Chronicles is supposed to focus more on the Western market than its predecessor and therefore offer comprehensive PvE and story content that can be tackled alone or with small groups. The key features of the MMORPG are as follows:

  • Social and community features: Collaborate with other players and participate in a constantly changing world that creates a vibrant and dynamic player community.
  • An extensive open world: Explore a vast, interconnected world with diverse landscapes, from lush forests and arid deserts to bustling cities and treacherous seas.
  • Dynamic combat system: Experience a revamped combat system that combines strategic depth with fast-paced action.
  • Player-driven economy: Build and design homes and engage in crafting professions.
  • In-depth narrative: Embark on an epic journey with a rich story, deep lore, and engaging quests that unfold throughout the game.

PvP elements and large-scale battles in the open world, which were previously considered, are to be removed. PvP is primarily to be available in well-defined, competitive areas, for fixed teams and guilds.

Additionally, they plan to implement a Buy2Play model without Pay2Win, but with service elements. In other words: ArcheAge 2 should continue to generate revenue in the long term. Regular content updates are intended to attract players to the servers.

7 Villains from Animes That Actually Have Good Intentions

Many villains make it difficult for our beloved anime heroes. They just want to gain power or create as much chaos as possible. However, there are also villains whose motives we can definitely understand.

Which villains are we presenting here? In this list, you will find antagonists from animes who are held accountable for their actions. They are portrayed as villains and use unfair or brutal means to achieve their goals.

However, many of these goals are actually well-intentioned and serve a higher purpose. The antagonists often just use the wrong means to reach their target. Therefore, it is right that they were stopped – but it leaves a bittersweet taste, as their goal would benefit many. Without all the murders, fears, and nightmares, of course.

If you are a fan of Harry Potter, you should take a closer look at the following animes:

Pain (Nagato)

  • Anime: Naruto
  • Goal: Peace in the world
Naruto Pain
Pain acts from a distance and controls multiple bodies.

Pain is the leader of Akatsuki, a criminal organization in Naruto. He aims to bring peace to the world. The trigger for this was traumatic experiences from his childhood. His parents died in the war, and his best friend, Yahiko, was lured into a trap when he only wanted to bring peace between the three great nations.

No wonder Pain wants to end the eternal war. However, his methods are extremely brutal: He wants to collect all 9 Bijuu and merge them into an ultimate weapon to pressure the world not to fight anymore. To do this, he must kill the Jinchuuriki, the human vessels of the Bijuu, to tear their demons from them. 

Even Naruto is to be stripped of his Kyuubi. However, in the end, he can convince Pain that he has taken the wrong path. He sacrifices his life to undo his actions.

Is Monster Hunter Wilds too easy? A creature with 6 tentacles is currently decimating hunters

For days now, parts of the community have been discussing whether Monster Hunter Wilds might be too easy. Now, various players’ experiences show that hunting monsters is far from a walk in the park for everyone.

Is Monster Hunter Wilds too easy? Exactly that is what parts of the community have been discussing for some time now. The starting point for this was, on the one hand, the experiences with the quasi-predecessor Monster Hunter World – which came across as significantly more accessible than previous parts. On the other hand, some reviews criticized the relatively easy difficulty level of Wilds.

And what are players’ experiences with the live version of Monster Hunter Wilds now? Well, just a few hours ago, for example, a post by PiFbg went live on Reddit, complaining: “‘The game is too easy.’ Please tell me I’m not the only one getting wrecked by ‘the thing with the 6 tentacles.’”

By the thing with the 6 tentacles, he certainly means Nu Udra, the Black Flame, which you can challenge in the Oil Spring Basin. You can read where to find and defeat the Black Flame directly on MeinMMO.

PiFbg explains in his post, by the way, that he would be facing the monsters so far without his Palico or support from other hunters. “Nu Udra would literally wipe the floor with him.”

  • Cerok1nk had bad news for PiFbg on Reddit: “Wait until you meet the Michael Bay Rathalos, who goes into Enrage three times in a row; the monster thinks it’s Goku or something.”
  • Mnawab finds Wilds much easier than Worlds (via Reddit): “I wasn’t particularly good at World, but I’m wrecking Wilds. Focus Mode and Focus Slash make it too easy now, lol. But who knows, I’m not at the endgame yet.”
