In Season 7 of Diablo 4, the new patch 2.1.3 is coming, bringing several buffs for sorceresses, as well as for the witch powers. We summarize the highlights from the patch notes for you.
Here are the highlights from the patch:
The upcoming patch 2.1.3 buffs some witch powers that represent the seasonal mechanic in the current Season 7. Primarily, Blizzard increases the damage of the skills here.
The classes also receive buffs in the form of improved skills and uniques.
Additionally, the developers strengthen the conduit shrine. Blizzard intends to increase the damage buff for Torment 3 by 37 times. The shrine regularly receives criticism from the community because the once strong buff is now basically useless. Some say: The shrine is “worse than 1 million stubbed toes.”
The patch also brings some bug fixes. The Patch 2.1.3 will go live on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. That evening, the “March of Goblins” event will kick off as well. You can find the detailed English patch notes on page 2 of the article. As soon as they are available in German, we will update the article.
Update March 4, 2025: The article has been updated for the patch day.
The witch powers are the mechanic in Season 7 of Diablo 4. The video introduces you to the witches of Hawezar in under a minute:

Buffs for Sorceresses, Druids, and Rogues
Which classes receive buffs? The patch brings buffs for various classes in Diablo 4. Especially the sorceresses benefit here, as the patch increases, among other things, the damage for the “Ball Lightning” skill. The build around this skill is currently in the lower tiers of the tier list of the strongest endgame builds in Season 7.
Additionally, the explosion of the unique leg armor “Axial Connection” scales with the ranks of the Chain Lightning skill. The damage of the unique focus “Strike of Stormhorn” is also higher and scales with the ranks of “Ball Lightning.”
The strength of the shadow infusion of the rogue through the unique boots “Assassin’s Stride” will also be increased. But there are also a few improvements for the druid. For instance, the damage of the Aspect of Wolfstorm is increased per wolf. With the unique axe “Waxing Moon,” the inherent critical damage is replaced by a 50% chance for “Bleed” to deal double damage.
In Diablo 4, one event chases another – and soon the “March of the Goblins” is returning. Here you have the chance to defeat treasure goblins and grab their fat loot. And the new goblin variants will even remain permanently in the game.
What kind of event is this? In the “March of the Goblins” event, treasure goblins wreak havoc in Sanctuary – and they drop valuable loot bags when you defeat them. The event runs from March 4, 2025, at 7:00 PM to March 11, 2025, at 6:00 PM. You can find the goblins in the open world, at Shrines of Greed, and at the world boss Knorzer.
Update March 4, 2025: The article has been updated for the start of the event.
Additionally, this time there are new goblin variants. They spawn less frequently than the normal treasure goblins and can drop really strong loot – including the coveted Mythic Uniques.

What kind of treasure goblins are those? The new variants of treasure goblins appear less frequently in Sanctuary, but they drop really strong loot. According to Blizzard, the following new variants are supposed to exist during the “March of the Goblins” event:
Ector the Abominable (green): Drops various crafting materials and grants you Obolust when you defeat him at a torment level.
Golden Baron (yellow): Drops plenty of gold.
Glittering Prym (light blue): Drops gemstone fragments, runes, and on torment levels, Under City tributes and scattered prisms.
Murl the Curious (purple): Drops an Obolust bag that remains in your inventory if you have reached the maximum of obolusts.
Syrus of Jelly (blue): Splits into two goblins upon death, which in turn dissolve into three. If you kill the smallest goblins, they drop Legendaries, gold, boss mats, and possibly elixirs.
Fedric the Shimmering Old (purple-pink): Spawns very rarely. Drops a Mythic Unique and a “Magnificent Spark” for crafting Mythics.
The “Golden Baron” goblin provides you with gold.“Syrus of Jelly” splits into more goblins.“Fedric the Shimmering Old” drops Mythic Uniques.
Some of the new treasure goblins resemble the goblins from Diablo 3 – for example, the Golden Baron, who also dropped gold in the predecessor. The Glittering Prym also had its counterpart in Diablo 3 with the Gem Goblin. However, there doesn’t seem to be a Menagerist Goblin that drops pets in this game.
Blizzard points out that the new goblin variants will remain in all realms of Diablo 4 even after the event – but with a lower spawn rate. Defeating the treasure goblins will also earn you prestige during the event. The higher your prestige, the higher your chance of valuable loot. If you complete your prestige, you will receive a “Magnificent Spark.” With the sparks, you craft Mythic Uniques: Crafting Magnificent Sparks – Here’s how to craft Mythic Uniques with it in Diablo 4

The Warhorse Studios have great confidence in the quality of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. How can you tell? The test accesses were available weeks ago. MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz and MeinMMO author Johanna Heuck reveal how much fun the renewed trip to medieval Bohemia has been.
For the record: I thought Kingdom Come Deliverance was really good already in 2018. Despite the slow start and all the rough edges, bugs, technical glitches, and potential frustration points, the first trip to medieval Bohemia is one of the most fascinating gaming experiences of the past decade for me.
Warhorse’s first project simply has a lot of heart and soul. The mix of role-playing game and medieval simulation works really well. And if you can deal with the cumbersome, challenging systems, all genre fans can expect an immensely satisfying and fascinating adventure that clearly stands out from the uniform AAA productions of other developers.
Who is writing here? Karsten Scholz is actually the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO. However, since the good old SNES days, he has felt right at home in the genre of single-player role-playing games as well.
Recently, for example, Baldur’s Gate 3, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Drova rotated on his hard drives again. He spent almost 60 hours with Kingdom Come Deliverance at its release. With Part 2, it has now become significantly more hours.
You can check out the amusing CGI trailer for the launch of KCD2 here:

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: CGI trailer shows the turbulent life of Heinrich
What do I need to know about Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? If you haven’t played the first part and haven’t heard much about the sequel, here are the basics: KCD2 is a single-player role-playing game in which you control the blacksmith’s son Heinrich from the first-person perspective through medieval Bohemia of the 15th century.
The medieval RPG offers a strong story focus, but also an open world where all residents have a realistic daily routine – similar to, for example, the role-playing series from Piranha Bytes (Gothic, Risen, Elex). You can expect quests, convincingly re-enacted activities like alchemy and blacksmithing, horse racing, dice games, and much more.
However, the medieval simulation encompasses not only the game world but also the main character Heinrich. He needs to eat, wash, sleep, take care of his armor, and improve learned skills through constant practice. Through his decisions and appearance, he gains or loses reputation and sometimes influences the fate of residents in the game world.
The world of Kingdom Come 2 feels “real”.
Tangible progress in Kingdom Come Deliverance
As for the second part, my anticipation was, of course, high, also because I desperately wanted to know how the authors would continue all the open narrative threads from the first part. At the same time, I hoped that the sequel, despite its larger scope, would be released with significantly more polish.
I can say this: KCD2 still has rough edges, bugs, and little issues – such as the AI of the NPCs, which sometimes reacts incomprehensibly to Heinrich or can be easily outsmarted in combat – but these rarely disturbed my gaming experience to the point where they were almost negligible (aside from the increasingly longer loading times). It was quite different with Part 1.
However, there is also progress in the actual content and systems compared to the first Kingdom Come Deliverance. The developers have found solutions to criticisms about, for example, the save system or the combat, without trivializing everything.
Part 2 also looks great; the in-game sequences are often strongly staged, the scope has nearly doubled, the entry is significantly less sluggish, and it’s usually very enjoyable to listen to the voiced dialogues (mostly because some voices of side characters fall short in quality).
The combat feels significantly more intuitive than in the predecessor.
The legacy of Gothic
Speaking of dialogues: They are also fun because they are credibly written. When you talk to people from the working class or the poor district, you might think you’re back in the infamous Minental from the first Gothic – curses and flying fists included.
Another parallel to the best RPG series from Germany: If you enter private property, get into the wrong bed, or even just look at someone else’s belongings askew under the gaze of the owner, the fun ends. If you do not seek to escape, you’ll catch slaps in the face. If Heinrich even pulls out a weapon in the heat of battle, he’ll have half the city guard on his back.
And at least in the first few gaming hours, the open world is for Heinrich just as dangerous as the Minental was for the nameless hero in 2001: Take a wrong turn, and you’ll fall into a trap set by a group of bandits that will wipe the dirty floor with poorly equipped leisure heroes.

Monster fluid is a material that you need in Monster Hunter Wilds to upgrade weapons or craft armor. MeinMMO explains how you can obtain the fluid.
We updated this guide for you on 03.03.2025 to keep it current.
You can obtain monster fluid by hunting certain monsters or as a reward for completing quests. In the following article, we will explain both methods in detail.
Monster Fluid as Drops from Monsters
These monsters drop monster fluid: Currently, you can obtain the material through target rewards from 5 low-level enemies.
Lala Barina (18 %)
Crimson Forest
Wyveria
Bulaqchi (30 %)
Wind Plains
Vespoid (20 %)
Crimson Forest
Oil Spring Pool
Ice Shard Cliffs
Wyveria
Comaqchi (30 %)
Ice Shard Cliffs
Disassembling Nerscylla young ones also guarantees you a monster fluid. This monster is therefore the best choice for farming the material. However, if you haven’t reached the Ice Shard Cliffs yet, the Bulaqchi is your best option.
To succeed in the battle against the beasts, we have the perfect video for you here:

Monster Fluid from Quests
These quests reward you with monster fluid:
A Stage of Rose and Thorn – Assignment
Buggin’ in the Desert – Optional
Beetles in the Crimson Forest – Optional
Every Rose… – Optional
Beetles in the Cliffs – Optional
The quest “Buggin’ in the Desert” allows you to quickly collect monster fluid. For this, you need to defeat 12 Bulaqchis. While you won’t obtain the material by disassembling the monster, you have a 30% chance of receiving it as a target reward.
A player has over 37,000 games on Steam, but he spent 99.8% of his playtime in two games that are more than 10 years old.
What kind of gamer is this? On Steam, there is a player who most likely owns more games than he could ever play. The account is named “Sonix” and has 37,496 games. In addition, there are 20,930 DLCs.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide a detailed overview of the user’s game collection, as Steam fails to access the extensive library and only delivers an error message.
The public Steam profile at least reveals a few of the games that were played on the account – including some indie gems like Don’t Starve Together, Tohu, and Cult of the Lamb. He also checked out Baldur’s Gate 3, Death Stranding, and Black Myth: Wukong for a few minutes.
Start video
Black Myth: Wukong: The final trailer for the action RPG from China
A huge Pile of Shame from 37,000 games
Which 12-year-old game is he playing? The website SteamLadder.com gives us a glimpse into the user’s playtime. Sonix is said to have spent around 6,606 hours in Dota 2. This accounts for 94.99% of his total time spent on Steam.
Additionally, he spent 336 hours in the hero shooter Team Fortress 2, which accounts for 4.83% of his total playtime.
Therefore, while Sonix has invested roughly 6,942 hours (99.82%) in Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2, the playtime for the remaining 37,494 games is limited to a total of 0.18%. That’s about 12.5 hours.
However, we cannot assess how accurate the statements from SteamLadder.com are. As it is a third-party site, there may be discrepancies with the actual playtime. For instance, the game “Alien Swarm,” which Sonix supposedly played for 551 hours according to Steam, is missing there.
“Pile of Shame” translates to “Stapel der Schande” in German and describes a collection of games that have been purchased but never played (through). Sonix seems to be somewhat of a game collector. There are probably not many players who have a larger Pile of Shame. However, Sonix is not the only Steam user who buys games and does not play through them. With the money that Steam users have wasted on games, one could buy Bethesda twice

The Emperor is one of the most important figures in the world of Warhammer 40,000. Countless legends surround him, but where does this godlike man actually come from? A book from 1990 provides insight.
Anyone familiar with Warhammer 40,000 will have heard of the God-Emperor of Mankind at least once. He is regarded as the most powerful psyker of all time and is worshipped as a god by many; for the Space Marines, he is seen as their father and creator.
It was only through the Emperor that the Imperium of Mankind could even come into existence. He united the warring peoples of Earth and brought together the scattered worlds under one banner.
However, the origins of the Emperor are significantly older – tracing back to prehistoric times and the first humans. The Emperor is actually an ancient shaman. Or more precisely: He is all the shamans that existed back then.
Most of the information in this text comes from the book Realm of Chaos – The Lost and the Damned from 1990. As is often the case with Warhammer, Games Workshop has never confirmed or denied this information again. Therefore, it is still considered a fixed lore by most fans.

Warhammer 40,000: The Cinematic Trailer for the Horus Heresy, the Great Brother War
The First Psykers of Mankind
When humans were still nomads, some special individuals emerged from the group of hunters and gatherers who could sense a power that permeates every living being: the Warp.
These people were shamans, the first psykers in the world of humans. For centuries, shamans used their abilities to help mankind. The coexistence of man and nature was a harmony.
The Warp itself is the realm of emotions and the plane of existence into which the souls of humans go. Through their connection to the Warp, shamans were virtually immortal: after their death, their souls could bathe in the Warp and eventually return.
However, all of this changed when the hunters and gatherers became settled and the first cultures formed. For from that point on, humanity was different.
The cover image actually shows a modern psyker from Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
Humans Create Their Chaos and Thus Their Own Doom
Since the Warp is shaped by the emotions of psychically active beings – like humans – it reflects what these beings feel most strongly. While this was harmony with nature for early humans, it later became greed, desire, and ambition.
From the Warp eventually emerged what you now know as the Realm of Chaos: a power that seeks to annihilate order. Strictly speaking, it is the distorted nature of humanity.
The shamans, as humans with a special connection to the Warp, sensed that something was changing there. Instead of being reborn, their souls were devoured. Dark powers formed – the Chaos Gods.
Out of fear for the future of the entire species, the shamans finally resorted to a drastic measure: a deadly ritual.
Time doesn’t really matter for the Chaos Gods. For our understanding, Khorne, Tzeentch, and Nurgle formed at various times in human history – such as during the plague or the first wars. Slaanesh, the youngest Chaos God, only arose through the arrogance of the Aeldari.
After a long debate, the shamans finally decided to collectively take their lives with poison, sending all their souls into the Warp at once.
Not quite a year later, around 8,000 BC, the man who would later become the Emperor was supposedly born somewhere in Anatolia. As the “last” shaman and the “new man,” he carried the memories of all the shamans before him and was meant to live unchanged forever.
Today, the Emperor has sat on the golden throne for thousands of years, which keeps his soul alive by sacrificing thousands of psykers daily. From his place, the Emperor keeps the Chaos Gods at bay and prevents them from consuming reality.
MeinMMO editor Jasmin Beverungen had the chance to immerse herself in the role-playing game Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 for 3 hours. She is a big fan of classic Japanese RPGs, but with this role-playing game from a French developer, she has probably found her GOTY.
When I’m not busy watching my favorite anime, I spend my free time in all kinds of role-playing games. JRPGs have particularly captured my heart: whether it’s games like Final Fantasy 16, where you engage in action-packed battles, or classic old-school gems like Fantasian: Neo Dimension, I’m a huge fan of all titles from Japan.
Furthermore, I just love abstract stories, ominous settings, and enemies that seem straight out of an art museum. Death Stranding or Persona 5 Royal are good examples of titles where art is more than just portraits of artists with severed ears or fruit baskets.
Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 certainly fits perfectly into my radar. It is a role-playing game that showed in its very first trailer how artistically the world and enemies were designed. A major theme in the game itself is even art, as enemies and items are named in that style.
I was able to test a section of the game for 3 hours and convince myself whether engaging gameplay lies behind the brilliant optics. And what can I say: The game even has a feature that made something I have always found tedious in JRPGs much more exciting.
In the video, you can see the look I am talking about:
Start video
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 – JRPG with French Flair has Release Date
Clair Obscure is like a JRPG, just without the J
While playing, I discovered surprisingly many similarities with classic Japanese role-playing games. Therefore, I felt “at home” in Clair Obscure right away.
There are turn-based battles like in Persona. An indicator on the left side of the screen shows which character can perform an action in which order. You can choose between melee attacks, ranged attacks, or special skills.
There are individual areas connected by an overworld like in Tales of Symphonia. I was able to travel around in this, encounter enemies, and find hidden items.
Encounters with enemies are not randomly triggered, but like in Dragon Quest 7 by touching the enemy. If I hit the enemy first in the demo before he noticed me, my characters were allowed to perform an action before the enemies.
After spending a lot of time last year with Metaphor: ReFantazio and Persona 3: Reload, many elements from Clair Obscure felt very familiar to me. However, there was a particular twist in the battles that makes the game from the French developer so special.
Clair Obscure indeed features Quick-Time Events, as I remember from the days of Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64. In these, I had to press a button at the right moment while I was attacking or while the enemy was attacking me. This can have different consequences:
With attacks, you deal more damage or inflict a status effect on the enemy if you press the button at the right moment.
If you want to strengthen your group, it might happen that not all members get buffed if you do not press the button at the right time.
As soon as the enemy attacks us, I was able to dodge his attack. The time window is generous, allowing me to easily avoid damage.
For the ultimate counter, I tried to parry every time. Here, the time window for the right button is smaller. However, if I succeeded, I not only avoided damage but also dealt damage back.
And that is exactly why it was important for me to observe the enemies closely. In every battle, I first had to figure out when the right moment to parry is. I had some trouble with certain enemies that charged a spell for a long time. Eventually, I resigned and just dodged. But against boss enemies, it made a gigantic difference.
The area starts with a peaceful forest but ends creepy.The battle system is turn-based.With grappling hooks, you can reach higher places.Quick-Time Events loosen up the rigid battle system.Clair Obscure is dark. You can see this in the levels as well.Each character can be individually customized.In addition, each character has their own skill tree.There are interesting details to see everywhere.In battle, you have multiple options to damage enemies.In the overworld, you can travel between different areas.The facial expressions sometimes look a bit unnatural.
The last boss fight in the demo had to be tackled a second time. The first time, I didn’t quite comprehend when I had to parry. As a result, my characters died faster than I could revive them.
During the second attempt, I was actually only hit once, because I got distracted. Otherwise, every parry action was on point.
After the battle, I realized how much fun these Quick-Time Events are. In most JRPGs like Persona, I somewhat miss the ability to control how much damage you deal or receive. The battles always follow the same pattern and can put me to sleep if they last longer than 5 minutes.
I know there are exceptions like Lost Odyssey or Sea of Stars – but such a battle system is unfortunately still underrepresented.
These short Quick-Time interactions kept me wide awake and gave me something to do even between the menus – without losing track, as sometimes happens in action-heavy battles.
Moreover, players can choose whether they prefer to parry or dodge depending on their skill. Parrying carries a greater risk because the time window to press the button is much smaller. However, when dodging, one must consider that the battle may take longer since no additional damage is dealt.
What I also loved about the battles was the background music. Each boss fight brings a new banger to the ears. It’s not quite at the level of Metaphor and Persona, but it’s definitely catchy.
In Clair Obscure, colors and art play a very important role. The painter determines each year from what age people dissolve. She also paints many enemies that you encounter in the game world. Many of the items are named after terms from the art field, including Chroma and Pictos.
These artistic aspects are also reflected in the game’s world. The individual areas are full of details and have nothing in common with the dull tube levels that I often expect from JRPGs. In one level, for example, it felt like I was underwater and the fish could swim right through me.
The levels invite exploration, both in terms of layout and setting. There are varied thematic areas that go beyond the dull “a snow area, a lava area, and a desert area” that you usually find in many role-playing games. In a peaceful forest level, for instance, I encountered a cave piled high with corpses.
The only critique I noticed was the characters’ facial expressions. They sometimes look unnatural and could use a bit more movement. But aside from that, I had an immense amount of fun with Clair Obscure and can’t wait for the game to be released on April 24, 2025.
Twitch is the largest and most popular live streaming platform, reaching millions of viewers from all over the world. We at MeinMMO show you which streamers are currently the most popular and have generated the most watch time.
This list was updated on March 3, 2025, at 2:30 PM.
How is this list compiled? In this list, you will find the currently most popular Twitch streamers worldwide. Unlike our Top 5 of the biggest German streamers, this includes international content creators.
Language, gender, content, and region do not matter. Instead, it is solely about the average number of viewers. This figure is a good indicator of which streamers are currently actually relevant. The last 30 days were considered for this.
Furthermore, only Twitch streamers who have been on air for at least 40 hours in the last 30 days were considered. Thus, content creators who are not representative of the current Twitch scene are excluded.
To create the list, data from the analysis website sullygnome was used, with figures as of February 20, 2025. Event channels, such as the accounts of various leagues, were not included.
When it comes to followers, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is still the biggest. You can see the current status of the former megastar of Twitch in the video:

A Reddit user posted a picture of an RTX 5090 as a birthday gift, accompanied by a small precautionary kit. This refers to the current issues that Nvidia is experiencing with theirnew 50 series cards.
What a gift! A user posted on Reddit a picture of his NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 as a birthday gift for his son, accompanied by the words: “Safety first!”.
The picture shows alongside the graphics card a thermometer, a fire extinguisher, and the sticker “Fake Frames – Real Flames.” The user explained that he had signed up for about 30 waitlists for various 5090 models when the card was released. Only one of the models arrived in time for his son’s birthday.

This is what the gadgets are about: The picture features fire extinguishers, thermometers, and a sticker. These refer to the well-known heat problems with Nvidia graphics cards. Especially the 12VHPWR power connectors have been problematic in the RTX 40 series. Under load, the connectors became excessively hot and in some cases even melted. This issue is also reoccurring with the 50 series (via Reddit).
The thermometer is meant to monitor the temperatures of components and cables. Meanwhile, the fire extinguisher stands by as a precaution for the worst-case scenario. The user himself, an engineer, explains:
“That’s a lot of amperes running through a small, mechanically secured connector. I can imagine that most cards are completely safe, but it just seems reasonable to check the temperatures under load and have an emergency solution at hand.”
What does the sticker mean? The sticker says: “Fake Frames – Real Flames”. It refers to the “fake frames” generated by AI-assisted multi-frame generation. Artificially generated images are created that increase the actual frame rate. Critics label this as “fake,” because they are not genuinely calculated by the GPU. The words “Real Flames” refer to overheating issues and that real flames can arise from that.

The RTX 50 series has a rocky start
These problems are causing discussions: In addition to overheating issues and known supply shortages of the 50 series, Nvidia faces further hurdles. Another topic includes the ROP issues with some RTX 5000 models. The ROPs are responsible for displaying the image calculated by the GPU on the screen.
In certain variants of the RTX 5090, 5070 Ti, and 5080, fewer ROP units were delivered than expected. This can lead to a performance loss of about 4 percent. Nvidia has confirmed this issue, but it only affects a small percentage of the cards. Affected users must identify and report the issue themselves.
I’ve recently been getting beaten up by nasty bosses in really tough games because they are the perfect games for co-op evenings with my girlfriend.
It’s a cool winter evening. The workday is over, the lights in the neighboring houses are slowly going out, and the gaming PC is purring on the edge of the desk. The perfect time to beat up some nasty characters in co-op with my girlfriend.
We have chosen roguelites as the ideal co-op games for us. These are games that derive from the 1980s dungeon crawler “Rogue.” In the now 45-year-old game, you have to explore a dungeon and find treasures. All roguelites have one thing in common: When you die, your run ends – death is a fixed and intentional part of these games.
While a roguelike must meet specific criteria like permadeath and turn-based gameplay, roguelites only need to include some components of the original. Many roguelites, like Hades, Cult of the Lamb, or Dead Cells, therefore offer the possibility of achieving permanent progress in the form of levels, new weapons, or abilities.
From mutated onions to King Arthur
Last year, we actually played every new co-op roguelite that came out on Steam. The highlights were primarily Rotwood – where we fight mutated forest inhabitants with cute little creatures, including rampaging onions – and Temtem Swarm – which is similar to Vampire Survivors, just with the little monsters from the creature-collector Temtem. We also really enjoyed Windblown, where we fight evil machines with warriors in animal form.
Currently, we’re playing Sworn. The game is fundamentally constructed like the successful title Hades: you grab a weapon and start a run. This ends when you finally die or complete the whole game without failing. For this, you have to traverse numerous rooms with enemies.
When you complete a room, you get a reward. This can be permanent currency or an ability that enhances your light attacks with poison or your heavy attacks with ice. After a few rooms with easy enemies comes a miniboss, and a few rooms later, a powerful knight from the Round Table. This continues until we have defeated a total of 3 bosses and 3 minibosses. In the end, King Arthur himself awaits us.
Healing is only rarely available for our brave fighters.

Never has losing been so much fun
In roguelites, there is often no proper victory – after all, the entire game must be completed from start to finish in one run. This usually takes several runs, as our character only gets stronger piece by piece, and we first have to learn the attack patterns of the various bosses. Instead, we take joy in the fact that we’ve made it a bit further in the latest attempt than last time.
Often a run fails because I’ve once again taken way too much damage and in the final boss fight simply don’t have enough life to last long. I’m particularly good at dodging either a tad too early or too late – or I jump right into the attack of the opponent and blame my controller or some mysterious input lag.
I swear I dodged in another direction.
But no matter how much damage I take and how stupidly I die in a boss fight, we steadily progress in the games. Every time I lie beaten on the ground, my girlfriend manages to hold her own against our adversary for several minutes and is usually the driving force that ultimately defeats him and revives me.
Here you can see me defeated lying in the dirt while my girlfriend fights bravely (Yes, she defeated the boss).
I’m not a noob, but I play with a god-gamer
One of my biggest problems in games like Sworn, Windblown, and Rotwood is that I regularly take smaller hits. This steadily drains my health bar and makes it difficult for me to progress in later rooms. Additionally, I struggle when too many colorful effects are displayed on the screen at the same time. Then I lose track and overlook an attack that then hits me.
Overall, I’m not the best at roguelites, but I’m not completely bad either. My girlfriend, on the other hand, is really good. She has genuinely enjoyed playing these games for years and has effortlessly completed many roguelites like Hades or Cult of the Lamb. It’s really fun to watch her zoom through the boss arenas and take on even the mightiest opponents.
I’m sure she can defeat any opponent in a roguelite relatively quickly.
Roguelites are great co-op games – even if you don’t have a carry
Roguelites are really the perfect games for playing together. They are action-packed and challenging. We can play them together without other players, and the general gameplay loop is enjoyable for both of us. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy beating up grim-looking onions with fast attack combos and escaping the devastating attacks of a boss with quick dodges?
If you ask me, co-op roguelites are not only suitable for couples where at least one player is a master of the genre. What’s important is that you enjoy the game mechanics and always stay positive. Even if you keep failing, that’s not bad because you don’t fail alone. Shared misery is half the misery and all that. Eventually, you’ll succeed, and then you can celebrate your shared victory.
For example, we also played Cuphead together, which is generally considered quite difficult in some sections. There were moments when the game really frustrated me. But when we finally defeated that bastard of a boss who had been flattening us the whole time, the shared joy was even greater. Those are the really lovely moments!
Roguelites, soulslikes, and other games considered relatively difficult have a special appeal for me. I prefer playing shooters and am generally a very competitive gamer. You’ll usually find me in PvP games, especially in tactical shooters like Rainbow: Six Siege and Valorant. However, I would never force my girlfriend to play shooters with me if she doesn’t enjoy it.
Roguelites tap into the part of my gamer personality that pulls me into PvP games: they bring out my ambition. I want to get better, I want to kick the boss’s ass in the next run, I want to conquer the challenge that the game and its completion offers me. So it’s quite simple:
We both enjoy roguelites together – it’s nice to laugh together about how I’ve jumped into an attack like an idiot once again, and it’s nice to achieve successes together.

In this list, we name 10 seemingly harmless children’s movies that turned out to be absolute nightmare material.
Almost everyone has experienced this in their childhood: You are allowed to watch a movie that is considered harmless because it is a children’s film. Full of anticipation, you look at the screen and the movie starts, but something feels odd.
The images give you an unsettling feeling, you are scared, confronted with things that your young mind has not yet contemplated.
The official website of the German FSK (short for Voluntary Self-Regulation of the Film Industry) states that it aims to ensure through its age ratings that films do not impair the development of children and adolescents or their education towards an independent and community-capable personality.
An FSK 6 rating describes the following:
Starting from 9 years of age, children can begin to distinguish between fictional and real stories.
In younger children, on the other hand, the emotional, episodic impression is still in the foreground.
A six-year-old child is still completely immersed in the film’s story, suffering and fearing with the identification figures.
Tension and threatening moments can already be processed, but they must not last too long or have too lasting an effect.
A positive resolution of conflict situations is also crucial here.
Keep this information in mind as you read this list. All the movies listed are rated FSK 0 or FSK 6. These 10 films are known for their dark images and themes that may have given you sleepless nights in your childhood:
The Last Unicorn (1982)
The Last Unicorn and the Red Bull
Image rights for The Last Unicorn belong to LEONINE Studios.
The Last Unicorn is regarded today as a timeless fantasy fairy tale suitable for families with older children. However, for unprepared younger children, the frightening images were literally nightmarish: the ominous visions of the unicorns fleeing, the use of creepy music, and the monstrous appearance of the red bull and other creatures in the film are just a few things that contribute to this effect.

On the weekend, the big GO Tour 2025 took place in Pokémon GO. Despite some content, the event did not go down well with MeinMMO author Paul Kutzner.
On March 1st and 2nd, 2025, it was that time again: the GO Tour 2025 was the first major event of the year in Pokémon GO. This is, alongside the GO Fest and the GO Nature Zone, one of the three major events taking place in the game. While the GO Nature Zone took place for the first time last year, the other two events have been around for years.
Despite some content and even the introduction of new fusions with corresponding new adventure effects, there were some points that dampened my enjoyment of the event.
Start video
Pokémon GO: What’s in the new Season Powerful and Masterful
Many Raids, Little Fusion Energy
Fusion energy for Kyurem: With the event, the fusion for Kyurem was unlocked. Raids had to be completed to obtain the necessary fusion energy to perform the fusion.
However, the number of raids required here was quite high. Between 80 – 150 fusion energy could be obtained per raid, of which 1,000 were needed to perform a fusion. Even with the previously published promo codes, which provided some energy, several raids had to be completed.
This, combined with the fact that there were no separate free raid passes for the event, meant that I quickly lost interest in completing the required number of raids.
In my opinion, this is done better on raid days. Trainers receive appropriate free raid passes, which likely increases the motivation of many trainers to participate in raids.
Pokémon in the Wild and Smoke: During the GO Tour 2025, there were again the hourly changing habitats that one is used to from such events. However, the Pokémon in these habitats were unfortunately quite uninteresting for me personally.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that I have been playing Pokémon GO since 2016, with interruptions, and thus possess several examples of strong monsters in my team. It would have benefited the event to have brought in some more monsters with strong evolutions. This would have provided me with additional motivation.
Trainers who focus more on collecting the various monsters could at least hunt for new costumed Pikachu and regional monsters during the event. However, since I have already collected the regional monsters in the past and costumed Pikachu do not hold much value for me, there was nothing here I wanted to collect.
Players who have not spent much time in the game yet and have not been around for long can of course benefit more from this and still snag one or two strong or rare monsters that are still missing from their collection.
The use of smoke also only produced Incognito, along with the costumed Pikachu variants, unfortunately.
Shiny Pokémon: Speaking of Pokémon in the wild: the chance to obtain some monsters in their shiny forms was not particularly high during the event.
While this is still an argument for turning another round in other events, such as Community Days, this unfortunately fell flat during the GO Tour 2025.
All in all, the event unfortunately did not score well with me personally. This may be different for players who have spent less time in the game so far. And that’s perfectly fine. After all, it’s not easy to cater to every single trainer in an event and make everyone happy.
What is your opinion on the event? Did you enjoy it, or were you also rather disappointed? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
While the GO Fest represented the first event of the new month, there will of course be many other events and content waiting for you in the game in the coming weeks. If you want to get an overview of this, then feel free to take a look at our overview with all events in March 2025 in Pokémon GO.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, one of the biggest goals is to build a strong build with a powerful weapon. Among the most powerful weapons are the Artian weapons. MeinMMO explains everything you need to know about the Artian weapons.
What are Artian weapons? Artian weapons are a special form of each weapon type that you can craft in high rank. With certain resources, you can customize the weapons to add elements or focus on attributes like affinity.
The ability to craft these weapons is unlocked after you defeat your first tempered monster (Lala Barina) in chapter 4 of the main quest. Then you will receive the first resource to start forging such weapons. We will explain exactly how that works.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Forging Artian Weapons
How do you forge Artian weapons? Once you have hunted your first tempered monster, you will unlock the ability to craft Artian weapons at the forge (Gemma). However, you will need specific materials that you receive by hunting tempered monsters.
Alternatively, you can also produce the required materials at the smelter in Suja.
Each weapon requires 3 materials, which vary from weapon to weapon. To craft a weapon, you always need 3 materials, which can be blade, device, disk, or tube.
Here is how the menu option at the blacksmith might look:
This is what the forge menu for Artian weapons looks like
Monster Hunter Wilds: All Info on Materials for Artian Weapons
Each material has an element type, an Artian bonus, and a rarity:
If you use an element twice, the weapon will also have that element
The affinity fusion and attack fusion influence how the respective values of the weapon will be
The materials also have a rarity, which determines how rare your weapon will be
The following materials are needed for each of the 14 weapon types:
Great Sword: Blade, Blade, Tube
Long Sword: Blade, Tube, Tube
Sword and Shield: Blade, Tube, Disk
Dual Blades: Blade, Blade, Disk
Hammer: Disk, Disk, Tube
Hunting Horn: Disk, Device, Device
Spear: Blade, Disk, Disk
Gunlance: Disk, Disk, Device
Morphing Axe: Blade, Blade, Device
Energy Blade: Blade, Disk, Device
Insect Glaive: Blade, Tube, Device
Light Bowgun: Tube, Device, Device
Heavy Bowgun: Disk, Tube, Device
Bow: Tube, Tube, Device
Monster Hunter Wilds: Upgrading Artian Weapons
How do I upgrade Artian weapons? The special thing about Artian weapons is that you can upgrade them with certain materials. The ores required for this can be obtained either at the blacksmith festival in the settlement in the oil source basin or at any base camp from Nata.
You can upgrade each weapon up to level 5; for this you need to invest materials to reach a threshold. The following materials yield the respective points:
Tristit gives 20 points
Sprenklit gives 100 points
Argezit gives 200 points
Orikalzit gives 300 points
This is what the upgrade menu for Artian weapons looks like
At the blacksmith, you can also dismantle Artian weapons. However, you will only receive the upgrade materials, not those required for crafting the weapons.
Monster Hunter Wilds offers something for every grind and crafting fan. In addition to the many weapons you can craft from parts of various monsters, there are also many armors you can create. We have summarized all the currently available armors in an overview: Monster Hunter Wilds: All High-Rank Armor Sets in Overview

Despite a total of 8 Harry Potter films, there are still some contents that did not have enough space in the film adaptations of the books. This fate also applies to a character who only meant well with the students of Hogwarts and wanted to protect them.
Which character is being discussed? It is a figure that not only calls Hogwarts home, but more specifically the paintings of the castle. It is about the knight Sir Cadogan, who even had a speaking role.
He appears in the popular third part of the Harry Potter films, “The Prisoner of Azkaban,” in which he was even the central focus of a short scene. However, this scene was cut, and Sir Cadogan has since become a rather unknown role in the Harry Potter universe. Nevertheless, the knight continues to live on in other ways.
Image rights of the Harry Potter films are owned by Warner Bros.
Here you can see the trailer for the third part of the Harry Potter series:
Start video
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban – Trailer for the 3rd Part of the Fantasy Series
A paranoid guardian and protector
What does the deleted scene include? Those who have already seen the third part will surely remember the torn painting of the Fat Lady, which was destroyed by Sirius Black. After this incident, Sir Cadogan felt responsible to temporarily stand in for the Fat Lady and guard the entrance to the Gryffindor common room.
The deleted scene shows a group of students, including Seamus, Dean, Neville, and Ron, complaining about Cadogan’s habit of changing the password too often. However, Dean also points out that the knight was the only resident of the paintings who voluntarily took on this task following the fate of the Fat Lady.
What role does Cadogan play in the games? Even though Sir Cadogan had to make do with a minor role in the films, he can still be found in the video games. He appears in the video game adaptation of “The Prisoner of Azkaban” from 2004, but also in those for “The Order of the Phoenix” (2006), “The Half-Blood Prince” (2009), and also Hogwarts Legacy (2023).
On the DVD of the third part, he even has his own game titled “The Quest of Sir Cadogan.” Here, you travel with the knight through the portraits of the castle to reach the Gryffindor common room, during which he experiences various mishaps along the way.
What connects Cadogan to the story? Cadogan was the one who granted Sirius Black access to the Gryffindor Tower, as Sirius had come into possession of Neville’s list of the week’s passwords. Following this, the knight was dismissed as the doorkeeper, and the Fat Lady returned to her post with a repaired portrait.
Both residents of the paintings secured access to the Gryffindor students’ retreat through passwords. The Gryffindor house is possibly the most well-known and one of the most popular houses at Hogwarts, as it produced powerful witches and wizards, along with the main protagonists of the films and books. In this power ranking here on MeinMMO, you can read about who the most powerful were: Harry Potter: The 10 most powerful Gryffindors of all time in the power ranking

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.

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.

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.
Start video
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.
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.
This is what Shiny Farbeagle looks like
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.

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.
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:

New Video of The Quinfall Shows 21 Minutes of Revised Gameplay
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

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.
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.
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:
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:
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 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:
