Twitch: The 10 Biggest Streamers Worldwide at a Glance

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 Father Gifts His Son an RTX 5090 – And a Fire Extinguisher Along with It

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 their new 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.

Fake frames, but real flames

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.

Additionally, there were initially driver problems that sometimes caused black screens, or that the PC wouldn’t start at all. However, this problem was also resolved through alternative means.

The RTX 50 series, despite the supply shortages and some issues with the cards, is highly sought after. If you want to get an RTX 5090 or already own one, you should keep in mind some safety considerations. Because a leading power supply expert strongly advises against using adapters or extensions for the RTX 5090.

There are some really tough games on Steam, but I can only win them if a special woman helps me

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.

Screenshot Shape of Dreams Demo, Dariusz defeated in the dirt
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!

Perfect if you’re competitive but don’t want PvP

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.

Here are 10 movies from your childhood that you saw way too early

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
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.

The Pokémon GO Tour brought useful adventure effects to the game, but disappointed me as a long-time player

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.

Monster Hunter Wilds: How to Craft and Enhance Artian Weapons

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

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

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.

A character is almost completely missing in one of the most popular movies of Harry Potter – Yet he continues to live on in the games

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:

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.

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.

Which class will you start with next Wednesday in the second season of The War Within? Have you already chosen your favorite, or are you still undecided on what your “main” will be in the new season? If you can’t decide on a character or want it to be a bit easier, check out the best classes for newcomers and returners.

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.

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.

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.

Start video
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).

MeinMMO explains where you can find Hirabami and what you should pay attention to in battle when you want to collect Frostbags.

Start video
Monster Hunter Wilds: 5 Tips for a Clean Fight

Monster Hunter Wild: Fighting Mirabami and Collecting Frostbags

Where can you find Frostbags? You can only find Frostbags with Hirabami. These are large beasts that you can encounter in both the Ice Shard Cliffs and the Ruins of Wyveria. 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:

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

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.

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
