Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Players discover a trick for more loot after hours of play – ‘I feel dumb’

Christoph Waldboth 6. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 offers some exciting loot for role players. However, not all treasures are found in chests or from defeated enemies. With a simple stone, valuable loot literally falls from the sky.

How do you get loot? In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, you will find loot in various places of the expansive game world. Such as in chests that you can simply open or picklock. Or you can take the loot from defeated enemies. You can also steal valuable goods from people using pickpocketing.

There are also bird nests that sometimes contain loot. You will find them on your travels through medieval Bohemia. If you come across a tree with a nest, you will receive a notification at the top of the screen. The nest will also be marked on the map so you can return there later.

Many players try the obvious to get to the treasures. They shoot at them with a bow or crossbow. But it can be even easier.

On the Stone

What is the solution? As reddit user Yorttam shows in a short clip, you can retrieve the bird nests with a simple throw of a stone from the treetop.

In Kingdom Come 2, those who prefer to sneak around can indeed throw a stone. This can distract NPCs. The feature only works when you are crouching. Therefore, it is not immediately obvious to apply the stone throw even to the bird nests.

But it works: Look for the bird nest in the treetop and aim for it. Throw a stone and with a bit of luck, the nest will tumble down right at your feet. Inside, depending on the nest, you will find bird eggs, but also valuable loot like smithing materials, groschen, or glittering treasures.

You can also find lockpicks in the nests. They are initially rare and essential if you want to take an dishonorable path in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. You can find a detailed guide on MeinMMO.

The community on reddit was partly unaware of the trick with the stone. The reactions in the comments are all the more surprising:

“This will prove useful, as I shot those bird nests with a crossbow, and the guards in the villages were not pleased”, writes kamil7122124.
“I wasted all my arrows and bolts,” says General_Lie.
“I forgot that you can throw stones,” says Megakruemel, speaking for many users.
“You mean I don’t have to shoot 17 arrows into the sky, hoping that one of them actually hits?”, writes regalfronde.
“120 hours and I never did that,” summarizes AsaTJ.
“I feel dumb for not having thought of that,” writes 8IG0R8.

For loot hunters, the trick makes life much easier. At the end of the day, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is not a game that showers you with loot. Therefore, it is all the more satisfying when there is something useful in a chest or indeed one of the many nests. In the meantime, the game has celebrated great success: Kingdom Come 2 celebrates 1 million players and a new peak on Steam, with 91% positive

EA FC 25: Twitch streamer suspects a cause for the weaker gameplay in the Weekend League

Thomas Dummer 6. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

In EA FC 25, some fans have been complaining in recent days about less fun in gameplay. A well-known German Twitch streamer also believes that gameplay, especially in the Weekend League, has worsened and has a theory as to why the game isn’t quite running smoothly there right now.

What kind of streamer is he? Simon “GamerBrother” Schildgen is one of the most well-known content creators in Germany for FC 25. He impresses not only with expensive pack openings but also with good gameplay.

With the new big gameplay refresh update from early January, he claims to have had a lot of fun and was even quite successful.

After the patch, he achieved 14 wins out of 15 matches in the Weekend League (January 24-27). Thus, he narrowly missed the best possible result in the most competitive competition in FC 25.

In the last Weekend League (January 31 to February 3), little remained of the success, especially of the fun in gameplay. The gameplay caused him great problems. You can see his experiences summarized in a video on his YouTube channel:

Link to the YouTube content

What weaknesses were there in gameplay? The content creator complained in FC 25 about…

… fast attackers who could be too easily caught by defenders.
… simple passes that were executed too inaccurately.
… the sluggishness of his players while dribbling.
… delayed execution of his inputs for runs, tricks, passes, and shots.
… strange animations where players just fall down or run into each other.
… too much randomness in defense, especially regarding manual defending and blocked shots.

All these aspects led to the content creator ending the live stream on his Twitch channel early on Sunday (February 2). On Monday (February 3), he attempted the next try off-stream, without viewers.

Even in the renewed attempt, things did not go much better. The expert struggled through the matches, as the gameplay remained, in his opinion, unchanged poorly. He finished the Weekend League with a hard-fought 10 wins.

What particularly upset him was the cause of the poor gameplay. According to his theory, there is a problem that has already existed since the FIFA days and keeps appearing in EA FC.

Streamer cites EA’s servers as the reason for the problems

Why does GamerBrother suspect a problem with the servers? His observations reportedly align with those of many colleagues he spoke with in the days prior. They too encountered the same problems in the Weekend League.

GamerBrother once again suspects EA’s servers as the cause. Particularly the delayed execution of input commands and the sluggishness in his players’ actions are clear indicators of server problems.

Some fans also blame the servers for poor gameplay

Server issues have also been one of the main criticisms of many streamers and fans in the past. You can find hundreds of posts addressing this issue from previous years in the subreddit “EA Sports FC” under the search term “EA Server” with countless reactions and comments. (via Reddit)

One of the latest discussions around the link between server issues and poorer gameplay on Reddit revolves around this theme. The problems described are almost identical to GamerBrother’s observations:

User studgeYNWA reports in the aforementioned thread on Reddit about…

… “slow attackers, “
… “players who leave the ball behind”
… “and poor ball control.”

In summary, studgeYNWA talks about a desynchronization that manifests in the game as follows: “While one user is fully synchronized, the other is not. Your game client might think the ball is at point X or Y while the actual position is A or B.” (via Reddit)

He goes on to explain: “This mismatch does not lead to connection drops but causes problems – missed tackles, players running past the ball, unnecessary extra touches, delays in shooting or tackling.” (via Reddit)

Many users agree with his statements, report similar problems, and come to the same conclusions.

Ubisoft may be working on the biggest shooter highlight of 2025

Dariusz Müller 6. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Fans of PvP shooters are still waiting for a major announcement in 2025. Leaks now suggest that this could come from Ubisoft.

What could this shooter highlight be? According to a well-known leaker, Ubisoft is working on some kind of remaster for the tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege. The leaker writes on X.com: “The cat is out of the bag. Siege 2 will be released at some point in the future. Siege 2 is Siege X.”

In another post, the leaker explains that Siege X is expected to be announced for the first time during the Six Invitationals 2025 and should bring an engine overhaul and a graphics update. According to the leaker, the release window might be around Season 2 of Year 10, which means later this year (via X.com).

The Six Invitational is the major annual championship for Rainbow Six: Siege, where the best players in the world compete with their teams for the coveted world champion title and a prize pool of one million US dollars. Major announcements, such as the reveal of a new roadmap, have been made by Ubisoft on the final day of the Six Invitationals for years. This year’s final is scheduled for February 16, 2025.

Leak would be understandable for players – and Ubisoft has good reasons

How realistic is the leak? Every leak should always be viewed with some skepticism. However, the information from the leaker has proven to be correct in the past. Keep in mind, though: there is no official information from Ubisoft yet.

Moreover, a Siege 2 would also make financial sense for Ubisoft, as the company revealed in a financial report in October 2024 that Rainbow Six: Siege is Ubisoft’s most financially successful game. The tactical shooter has generated over 3.5 billion euros in revenue for Ubisoft. Only the entire Assassin’s Creed series has earned the company more money (4 billion USD).

Players of Rainbow Six: Siege have been wishing for some form of Siege 2 for years. The game has continually evolved with numerous new weapons, maps, operators, and gadgets, and at times it seems the engine cannot keep up with the new demands. Ubisoft has also never really managed to tackle the cheating problem. A kind of reboot could help solve various issues.

Conan Exiles receives a huge update on Steam, reducing the game’s size by 80 GB

A game for tacticians and demolition experts

What is the game actually about? Rainbow Six: Siege is a tactical shooter where 2 teams of 5 players compete against each other. Each player chooses an operator – these are the playable characters – each of whom has different gadgets/abilities. Additionally, various weapons and devices like grenades, breaching charges, or barbed wire are available.

In the main game mode, the attacking team must defuse a bomb. The defenders must prevent this. Multiple rounds are played per match, with the number varying depending on the game mode. A round always ends in one of four different ways:

all players of a team have been eliminated before the time runs out – the surviving team gets a point
the timer runs out before the attackers can defuse the bomb – the defenders get a point
the attackers have successfully defused the bomb or eliminated all defenders while defusing – the attackers get a point
the defuser is running but is destroyed by the defending team – the defenders get a point

However, the big special feature of Rainbow Six: Siege is that the maps are extremely destructible. For example, you can blow up a floor to attack opponents on the level below or above. The defenders can use reinforcements and various gadgets to make breaching walls or hatches more difficult.

While there are many different tactical shooters on the market, there is no real alternative to Rainbow Six: Siege with a comparable gameplay loop. This makes Rainbow Six: Siege one of the 25 best shooters of 2025 according to MeinMMO editor Dariusz.

The 5 MMORPGs with the best housing in 2025

Alexander Leitsch 6. February 2025 Reading time 9 minutes

Housing plays an important role for many MMORPG fans, as they can build their own home thanks to this feature, allowing for a deeper immersion in the world. While WoW is currently one of the most successful games that does not offer such a function, there are various good alternatives. We present to you the five MMORPGs with the best housing systems.

What is this list about? In this list, we present to you the MMORPGs that offer the best housing systems in the genre. These, however, come in very different forms:

In some games, you can build your house completely freely
In others, you can freely decorate your instantiated house
Some even offer really strong bonuses outside of the houses

We reveal what the various housing systems offer and how elaborate the feature is in the respective games.

How was the list created? The list was originally compiled by Alexander Leitsch and updated by our MMORPG expert Karsten Scholz. Both have played all the games mentioned here for dozens of hours and explored the respective housing systems. The order was chosen to provide as much variety as possible.

Update from February 6, 2025: The last update was some time ago, so a check for the current gaming year was conducted. The positions have not changed, but we have added new developments for all games and also pointed out the planned housing content for WoW.

[toc]

The Elder Scrolls Online

Setting: Fantasy | Developer: Zenimax Online | Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S | Release Date: April 4, 2014 | Model: Buy2Play

What options does housing offer? ESO relies on an instantiated housing system. Therefore, anyone can own any house, entirely at their discretion. The MMORPG offers various sizes from small guest rooms to their own estates. The houses are located in various places within the vast game world of Tamriel.

Your first house is obtained through a quest; later, you can buy larger houses. Houses incur a one-time fee only.
In total, there are well over 60 different houses – in May 2024, you can even earn a fancy oasis as an easy-to-obtain sign-up reward.
You can craft furniture for your house yourself or buy special items in the shop. There are thousands of decorations.
You can hold PvP duels in your houses.
Since Update 43, the home showcase feature has been introduced. The new feature for private homes allows you to find, visit, share, and recommend the homes of other players.

What gameplay advantages does housing bring? Through housing in ESO, you receive:

Additional storage space
Your own crafting stations
A travel point to move faster through the world
You can place items like Mundus Stones to collect buffs from there

What kind of game is this? The Elder Scrolls Online is an MMORPG that primarily focuses on telling good stories. There are plenty of quests and every year new content in the form of updates, DLCs, and the annual chapter that bring fresh content, systems, and improvements.

The game is also characterized by the fact that you can experience adventures anywhere in the world with every level. It does not matter whether you first dive into the campaign of the base game or into the stories of the various chapters.

Start video

Autoplay

Moreover, the MMORPG can be excellently played solo. Here, the dynamic scaling helps, as do the new companions introduced with Blackwood. Other highlights include the truly vast game world of ESO, the multitude of dungeons, and the PvP mode Cyrodiil, where you fight in large groups for castles.

2025 is, by the way, a transition year for ESO. The developers want to break the old cycle of DLCs, patches, and chapters and switch to a seasonal system. You can read more about it here: Gold Road was the last chapter for Elder Scrolls Online; from 2025, everything will be new.

Who is ESO generally interesting for? Those looking for good stories from the world of Elder Scrolls and who want to experience them alone or together with other players are in the right place with ESO. Especially the full and very well-done voice acting in German is a plus. The battles are action-packed and there is always something to do in ESO.

However, the game can sometimes become a bit monotonous, as the gameplay of the quests can quickly become predictable. There has also recently been a lack of fresh ideas and innovations. Additionally, performance and balance issues repeatedly arise in PvP. Here are some reasons why now is a good time to start: 5 reasons why you should start with the MMORPG ESO now.

Steam now warns you about a certain type of games that you better not spend money on

Karsten Scholz 6. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

On Steam, there are now numerous games that promise the moon during the ongoing Early Access phase, but have not received any updates for years. The people at Valve now warn you about such “zombie games,” which are especially prevalent in the MMO sector.

What is the problem? Since the introduction of “Early Access,” numerous games (especially MMOs or online games) have taken advantage of the pre-release access on Steam. The deal, in the best-case scenario:

Developers release their game in an unfinished Early Access version and use player feedback and any income to complete the project within a foreseeable timeframe.
Interested players can take an early look at the game and provide feedback and funds to ensure that the project is released in the highest quality possible.

Positive examples like Baldur’s Gate 3 have shown in the past how valuable this deal can be for all parties involved (also beyond the MMO genre).

However, there are also negative examples that have been stuck in the Early Access phase for months or even years, without any visible progress. Steam users who happen to stumble upon the relevant product page may not recognize this immediately. Instead, they still see all the promises that were made at the beginning of the EA phase and may then reach for their wallets.

A Steam game that might be worth it:

What kind of warning is this? Within the Early Access box that all developers must fill out for the EA phase of their game, Valve now adds its own note as needed. In the case of BattleBit Remastered, a multiplayer game that has been in Early Access on Steam since June 2023, the note reads as follows:

“Note: The last update from the developers was more than 13 months ago. The information and schedule provided by the developers here may no longer be current.”

Demonic_Akumi is excited on Reddit, but also has a suggestion for improvement: “Great addition. I wish it were even more prominently visible.”
Cymen90 explains on Reddit: “People like to say that Steam is just another licensed store, but they go far beyond what is expected in terms of consumer protection in the realm of digital games. Only GOG goes even further, offering DRM-free versions and restoration of lost/obsolete media.”
vacanthospital expresses shock on Reddit: “Recently I was going through my library and was shocked at how many Early Access games hadn’t been updated in ages. I don’t buy Early Access games anymore; I prefer to wait for the finished product.”

Two forgotten Exos are currently the best options to become immortal in Destiny 2

Christos Tsogos 6. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

With the release of Episode: Heresy, Destiny 2 has adjusted various exotics to make them relevant for the new meta. Two of them can even make you immortal if played correctly.

Which exotics are meant? These mainly refer to the two exotic glaives that were introduced with the Witch Queen expansion:

Blade of Intent (for Warlock)
Blade of Action (for Titan)

These were tied to a long quest, and despite the effort required, they disappointed fans across the board. They were too weak and left Guardians vulnerable after using the special attack – but with the latest update from Episode Heresy, a lot has changed.

Start video

Destiny 2: Launch trailer for the new episode Heresy

Autoplay

Best complete your quests now

Why is it worth it now? Those who used the glaive’s special attacks lost all their energy – meaning you could no longer block and were completely vulnerable to your enemies. Bungie wanted to change that and announced adjustments in their latest blog post (via bungie.net):

Exotic glaives (all classes)
- The special shot is no longer tied to glaive energy.
  - Now triggered after six hits to allow for recharging the special shot.
    - Increases with both shots and melee hits.
In short, you can now trigger your special attack and still block freely afterward. Additionally, your charges are now increased by melee hits, which can be very helpful when you’re out of ammunition.

You can now continue blocking despite using your special attack.

Lastly, both glaives received two bonuses in their intrinsic perks that are meant to make you even more powerful:
- Blade of Intent triggers “Glowing White”
  - The turret now only targets wounded players
  - Creates a brief healing wave when using the healing turret
- Blade of Action triggers “Destabilizing Rounds”
The effects of both glaives were already considered powerful, but they couldn’t be activated often enough to be worthy of their exotic slot. With these changes, you will be nearly invincible especially in a fireteam.

Those who haven’t completed the quests should start doing so soon.

Throne and Liberty: Server Status – Phase 1 of the Merges is targeting Auction Houses, starts with Mega Maintenance

Karsten Scholz 6. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

On February 6, 2025, the first phase of the server merger for Throne and Liberty will begin. Therefore, the worlds of the MMORPG will be offline for almost twelve hours.

What happens in Phase 1? On February 6, 2025, the regional auction houses of the early access and launch servers will be merged (not the pure console realms). All EU players will then use a single, combined auction house to buy or list items. With the merger, your favorites and the price history of the auction houses will be reset.

For the necessary maintenance, the servers went offline at 7:30 AM. The maintenance is expected to last 11.5 hours. So expect the worlds to return only around 7 PM. You can find out what the further phases of the server merger will look like here: Server Merge in February 2025 – these are the new EU realms of Throne and Liberty.

Player runs through the most terrifying dungeon in Path of Exile 2 144 times – Shows all his loot after 90 hours

Cedric Holmeier 6. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Path of Exile 2, you can choose which content you want to play after the campaign. One dungeon is particularly unpopular, but one person sees it quite differently.

What kind of dungeon is this? The “Trials of Sekhemas” are trials in the form of a dungeon that were newly introduced in Path of Exile 2. Your character must face various challenges here, during which they cannot take any damage.

During the dungeon, there is a sort of second life bar that indicates your honor. For every enemy that hits you, this bar permanently decreases and can only be restored through specific mechanics during the trials.

The second life bar is also active during the fight against the final boss, which frustrates the community quite often (via Reddit). Often, the fight ends with the character taking damage and, despite almost full health points, collapsing because their honor has dropped to 0.

However, one adventurer has found joy in the trials and has completed them 144 times. Now he is showing off his loot.

Here you can watch the cinematic intro of Path of Exile 2:

90 hours of farming for good loot

How did the runs go? The player Shanochi loves the “Trials of Sekhemas” and cannot get enough of them. In the past weeks, he has completed the dungeon 144 times and has noted every single item that fell at his feet.

In his 90 hours, he obtained over 1,250 regular jewels with a value of about 660 Exalt Orbs. But even with the currency items, his yield is impressive; after converting all found items into Exalt Orbs, he ended up with 1,330 Exalt Orbs alone.

What are Exalt Orbs? In Path of Exile 2, players do not trade with a unified currency like gold but with currency items. Typically, less valuable items are paid with Exalt Orbs, while more valuable items are purchased with Divine Orbs.

The player was very precise in his evaluation, noting countless items; in the end, he converted all into Divine Orbs and reached 528 in 90 hours of gameplay + 10 hours spent trading. That would equate to about 142,560 Exalt Orbs at an exchange rate of 1 to 270, which was applicable at the time of his project. A screenshot of his table with all entries can be found on Reddit.

Was it worth it? That depends on your perspective. About 60% of the currency comes from 2 “The Last Flame” relics, which are each worth 150 Divine Orbs, or about 40,500 Exalt Orbs. If you’re unlucky and drop only one or none of the expensive relics, the statistics look much worse.

Otherwise, the result is indeed impressive, even though other users in the comments claim they farm much more efficiently or have better builds that make running the dungeon easier and faster.

In Pokémon TCG Pocket, a powerful combo makes your Palkia even stronger

Max Handwerk 6. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Palkia-ex in Pokémon TCG Pocket is a damn strong card. But which cards should you combine it with?

Palkia-ex is one of the stars of the new expansion “Collision of Space and Time” in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Just like its counterpart Dialga, it is the “cover star” of one of the current boosters.

Accordingly, it is not surprising that Palkia-ex is also one of the best cards in the new set.

It has a strong 150 HP and can take a lot of hits. With just one energy, it can deal 30 damage with “Slasher.” Its ace in the hole is the attack “Dimension Storm,” for three Water and one Colorless energy. With that, you deal 150 damage to the opponent’s Pokémon and also 20 damage to all of the opponent’s benched Pokémon.

However, you have to discard three Water energies from Palkia. Accordingly, you should try to get as much energy on Palkia as quickly as possible. A few cards are suitable for that.

Autoplay

Which cards to combine with Palkia-ex?

Currently, there are several cards that can supply Palkia-ex with energy faster, so you don’t necessarily need 4 rounds to use its devastating attack.

Sure, one of them is Misty: The trainer card attaches as many Water energies to Palkia as you succeed in coin tosses. In the best case, that’s a lot of energies – in the worst case, none at all.

Therefore, it’s good to have other reliable ways to supply Palkia with energy.

The first card for this has also come into play with the new expansion: Manaphy.

What does Manaphy do? Manaphy has 50 HP, so it can’t take too much damage, and its attack “Gift of the Sea” doesn’t deal any damage. However, it has the effect that you can choose two Pokémon from your bench. For each of those Pokémon, you can generate and attach one Water energy.

However, this gives you at most one additional Water energy on Palkia. Therefore, you need another card: Aquana.

What does Aquana do? Aquana is already a popular card when combined with Misty. Aquana has the ability to push Water energies from the bench to the active Pokémon. You can start generating energy with Manaphy and attach it to Palkia & Aquana on the bench. Once Palkia comes into play, you push the needed energies onto the legendary Pokémon and start attacking your opponent. Depending on how long Manaphy survives, that can be a few energies.

However, you should keep in mind: You need a bit of luck at the start of the match to draw the right cards to fully exploit the combo. With the cards Pokéball, Professor’s Research, and Pokémon Communication, you can at least try to get the other needed cards from your deck as quickly as possible if you don’t have them right away.

Another good card: If you’re looking for an additional ex-Pokémon, you should consider Arktos-ex. It is basically a slightly weaker version of Palkia, with less damage but almost the same effects.

Its attack Blizzard requires three Water energies and deals 80 damage, plus 10 for each of your opponent’s benched Pokémon. Advantage: It does not need to discard the energies after attacking. Arktos-ex can also benefit from these cards. And if you’re generally looking for completely different variants: Here you can find the best decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket.

The boss of a Japanese gaming studio earns as much as the head of Nintendo, but his only hit game is a gacha game and it is dying

Caroline Fuller 6. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The head of a Japanese development studio is facing criticism for paying himself a multimillion-dollar salary while his studio is steadily declining. Its only major game is struggling.

How is the studio doing? Since the steady decline of the mobile gacha game Puzzle & Dragons, the Japanese studio Gung Ho has been in a crisis. A report from an investment consulting firm presented on behalf of the studio’s shareholders highlights the problematic situation of Gung Ho. It states:

Gung Ho relies on Puzzle & Dragons (P&D), which was released in 2012 and is responsible for the majority of its revenue. However, even P&D revenues are gradually declining. Despite the release of around 20 games since P&D, including titles with popular IPs like Disney and Yo-Kai Watch, revenues have not materialized, and the company has been unable to break free from its dependency on P&D.

While the studio continues to decline due to its lack of successes, the boss of Gung Ho seems to continue living as if it were still the best of times.

Those interested in gacha games that are currently taking off may find Infinity Nikki appealing:

Autoplay

Boss earns like a Nintendo president

How much does the head of Gung Ho earn? While the studio’s revenues continue to decline, the boss still receives a salary that exceeds the company’s profits. In fact, the salary of the Gung Ho boss (340 million yen in 2023, approximately 2.15 million euros) is nearly the same as that of Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa (360 million yen, approximately 2.28 million euros).

The report points out: “Considering that the presidents of Gung Ho and Nintendo receive similar salaries, but Gung Ho’s profit is less than one-tenth of Nintendo’s profit, we would say that Gung Ho is not in the same league.”

How is this salary justified? The quickest and simplest answer is: Not at all – There is even more evidence that the studio is doing worse. As already mentioned, Gung Ho has not been able to achieve further major successes since Puzzle & Dragons, despite having strong IPs. The report estimates that the studio has spent over 100 billion yen developing new titles, which have collectively earned less than 10 billion yen.

In summary, Gung Ho has a single, but steadily dying hit game, struggles to develop new successful projects, and has a president who pays himself a salary as if the studio were not in trouble.

What’s next for Gung Ho? The shareholders did not commission the report without reason. It suggests a reform through privatization and a thorough revision of the compensation system. Unlike new successes of the studio, the boss’s salary is not untouchable. However, if he continues to insist on his multimillion salary, he could learn from the experience of another person: A 59-year-old earns 1.27 million euros a year from a side job and works only 1 hour a day: A “mathematical formula” makes that possible

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – The best skill you can use in combat

Johanna 6. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 there are some skills that you definitely should have. MyMMO presents you with one of the best skills that is very useful in combat.

What kind of skill is this? This is the Masterful Strike, which was also present in the first part. You can use it in combat, and it allows you to hit your opponent immediately, regardless of what kind of armor they are wearing. It is particularly useful against difficult opponents, as the strike cannot be blocked.

With our video, we give you three tips on how to successfully start in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2:

Start video

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: 3 Tipps für den perfekten Einstieg

Autoplay

How to Obtain and Use Masterful Strike

How do I get Masterful Strike? To obtain the skill, you must complete the combat training with Kater in the Nomad Camp. You can learn about him and his training for the first time by speaking to Bara in Troskowitz. However, that is not strictly necessary; you can also just travel to the Nomad Camp.

The Nomad Camp is located west of Troskowitz. You will find Kater near the combat area, which is located in the northeast of the camp. However, he will only fight you if you are wearing armor.

In total, you need to win two fights against Kater for him to teach you the skill. The first fight is relatively easy, as your trainer will not fight back.

The second one will be trickier, as he will use the Masterful Strike against you and can kill you with a single hit. We recommend saving your game between the first and second fight, so you won’t have to repeat the first fight constantly.

Once you have defeated Kater, he will unlock the skill for you, and you will find it under the category “Sword” in “Attributes”.

How do I use Masterful Strike? From now on, you can use the skill in any fight. At the moment your opponent attacks you, you need to strike from the opposite direction. This way, you can interrupt the opponent’s attack while also landing a good hit.

In the 2nd beta of Monster Hunter Wilds, you will face a particularly cheeky opponent that you should not fall for

Alexander Mehrwald 6. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The second beta of Monster Hunter Wilds is on the horizon. This time, there’s also a monster that fans already know from previous installments. And it’s not just cunning; it will annoy you on purpose this time.

Which monster is it? In the second beta of Monster Hunter Wilds, in addition to the content from the first beta, you can also hunt down two more beasts. One of them is an old acquaintance from the predecessors: the cheeky Gypceros.

Gypceros was already part of the first Monster Hunter and has since appeared in 9 more titles. It is also making its return in Monster Hunter Wilds. Fans of the series are alarmed and are already swearing not to fall for it again.

Here you can see the latest trailer showcasing the new area Ice Shard Cliffs and another familiar face:

Autoplay

The Cheekiest of the Cheeky

What is Gypceros known for? Gypceros is a particularly treacherous monster that loves to annoy its hunters. It has a sort of rubbery skin that protects it from thunder damage and allows blunt damage to bounce off. Its tail tip is hard and thick, making it a great club to use. Its tail is also flexible, allowing it to extend and use it like a whip.

Gypceros also likes to pretend to leave the area while flying, only to turn back halfway and return. If it is heavily injured, it plays dead to deceive its hunters. When they start to approach it or even try to carve pieces from it, it launches a powerful surprise attack.

However, its most annoying ability is due to its head crest. It can clap it against its beak, creating sparks that can blind its hunters. This temporarily incapacitates them. Once its victims are stunned, it can poison them with its beak.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, Gypceros even mocks you with a new move before it beats you with its whip club. The monster blinds you first, then twerks in front of you to celebrate itself. The video with the new animations has been received well by fans. You can watch it via x.com.

“Are we prepared for this level of humiliation?”

How is this received by the community? There are already some threads on Reddit (via Reddit) about fans already gearing up to be mocked by Gypceros again. Particularly, the new animation is garnering attention as it reflects the character and mechanics of the monster very well. For fans, it is definitely one of the cheekiest and funniest monsters in the series and has already led to all kinds of memes in its history.

Players agree that they don’t want to fall for it again and are celebrating the new animation:

AntonGrimm writes in his thread via Reddit: “Are we prepared for this level of humiliation?”

The creator of One Piece revealed which manga he is particularly jealous of – It is not Dragon Ball

Jasmin Beverungen 6. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Eiichiro Oda is the mangaka of One Piece and is responsible for the adventures of the Straw Hat crew. But there is a manga that the artist almost forgot about.

Which manga is it about? The manga that Oda is particularly envious of is known as Seconds in D Minor or in English Your Lie in April. The original story is called Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso and is about a romantic drama.

Kosei Arima is a gifted pianist and wins numerous music competitions. However, he is drilled by his mother to perform.
When his mother dies, Kosei suffers a mental breakdown. He suddenly can no longer hear what he plays on the piano.
Two years later, he meets the girl Kaori Miyazono, who is a talented violinist. She helps him rekindle his passion for music.

However, the end of Your Lie in April transforms into a sad drama. Kosei must learn to cope with pain and loss. For Kaori hides a secret that severely affects their friendship.

Here you can watch a trailer for Your Lie in April:

How well did Oda receive the story? The mangaka of One Piece mentioned in a television show that he was jealous of Your Lie in April. He praised the way music was conveyed in the manga. He stated that the music genre is the most difficult to implement in the manga industry. He added:

“It’s a framework with atmosphere. Japanese people sometimes convey a unique sense of distance in their films and illustrations. It’s so good that you want to see what the next panel is.”

Oda read the manga just before a deadline for his own work and reportedly forgot to finish the manuscripts in time for a deadline. He read Your Lie in April in one go and was so enthusiastic about it that he made the whole studio buy the manga on their way home.

It makes a huge difference whether you wear light or heavy armor in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Dariusz Müller 6. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 you can choose whether you prefer to act in light, agile, or heavy plate armor. There is a significant difference between the two types of armor – not only in the effectiveness of the protection.

How do armors work in KDC2?

A complete armor set consists of up to 16 individual parts, including a helmet, gloves, or a neck guard.
Each part of your armor affects your stats, with each armor piece having a different distribution. For example, armor can influence your charisma, speed, visibility, or conspicuousness.
Armor has its own weight. Therefore, your strength stat must be high enough if you want to carry a lot of heavy armor.
Armors wear out over time, especially through combat. However, you can patch up damaged armor with repair kits or have it repaired by a blacksmith.

A clanking metal frame cannot be stealthy

What is the gigantic difference? Of course, heavy armor offers significantly more protection and should be your choice if you often get involved in fights and take a hit or two.

Light armor, on the other hand, is much quieter and therefore the better choice if you want to proceed stealthily – for example when acquiring quest items or during the daily activities of a thief. Since money and food are particularly scarce at the beginning of the game, thievery is an important approach you should master.

The extent of the difference between the types of armor is demonstrated by the user “NukovYT” in a short video on YouTube:

If you want to stealthily pocket a stranger’s goods at night, you should preferably slip into light fabric clothing. Movements in heavy armor are much louder and thus attract the unwanted attention of potential witnesses.

If you don’t care about witnesses because you’re going to draw your sword and demonstrate your strength to any observer, you can of course still opt for the clanking metal frame.

Once you have found the right armor for your purposes, it is up to you to successfully carry out your planned approach. Thieves should take several things into account, as not only the armor determines whether you are successful at stealing or get caught.

Pokémon GO releases a new feature, the community misses important content

Paul Kutzner 6. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

There is a new update in Pokémon GO that changes one of the oldest features. Not everyone in the community is pleased with this.

Aside from battling, collecting monsters is one of the two main aspects in Pokémon that likely appeal to most trainers the most. To keep track of everything, there is the Pokédex, where you can see at a glance which monsters you have already collected.

Now there is a larger update for the Pokédex, which is already active for some of the first trainers. The update not only changes the appearance but also some functions. There are criticisms from the community, as some essential parts of the old Pokédex are missed.

Start video

Autoplay

“They simply removed my goal from the game”

What is changing in the Pokédex? The entire look of the new Pokédex is different compared to the old version. The new Pokédex is now more strongly divided according to the regions from which the monsters originate.

However, currently, there seems to be some bugs. The number of Pokémon caught, displayed in the upper right corner, is not yet entirely accurate.

The categories by which you can filter your Pokédex are now the following. It stands out that, for example, there is no longer a Pokédex for 3*-monsters.

General
Shiny
Lucky
XXL
XXS
G-Max
Mega
Crypto
Redeemed
4*

When you click on a Pokémon in your Pokédex, you will now also see which costumed variants of the monster you have already caught. Which costumed versions you are still missing will not be displayed here.

When will I receive the new Pokédex? As is often the case in major updates in Pokémon GO, the feature is not released to all trainers at the same time, but gradually. When exactly it will be activated for all trainers is not known. However, it can be assumed that it won’t be long before the update is activated for all trainers.

What does the community think about it? In the community, there are some positive voices about the new Pokédex. However, there are also some criticisms on Reddit.

“This looks so bad and time-consuming. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. I want to be able to view all regions together,” writes Dependent_Chemist.
“I think I can get used to the honestly worse aesthetics, but the removed 3*-Dex is painful for someone who has worked on it, they simply removed my goal from the game,” notes SaltedNeos.
“I just started evolving my 3-star and 3-star shinies a few weeks ago… but that was a huge waste now,” adds the trainer trugabug.
“Why isn’t the shiny variant shown in the shiny-dex? Or the crypto variant in the crypto-dex?” asks trugabug additionally.

Critic wants to bring down one of the most popular players in LoL with a nasty video

Schuhmann 6. February 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The Swede Martin “Rekkles” Larsson is one of the most popular players in League of Legends in Europe. The 28-year-old Swede seems to be facing a tough test. A combative and controversial e-sports commentator, Thorin (41), has announced a major exposé report. The LoL pro Rekkles seems to be struggling to cope with it. Allegedly, Thorin has been after Rekkles since he was 15.

Here is the situation: Duncan “Thorin” Shields (41) is one of the sharpest and toughest critics in e-sports. Some also see him as a malicious troll, lamenting his past success from seven to nine years ago and hitting hard to be heard today.

Recently, we reported on MeinMMO about Thorin, when he had a meltdown against women in e-sports and screamed: “I am e-sports.”

On February 4th, Thorin announced that he would release a negative video about the Swede Rekkles, a so-called “Content Nuke,” in which he will expose Rekkles’ misdeeds from 2012 to 2023. The description states: The video has been in the making for years. It reveals one of the “worst villains in e-sports.”

Rekkles has reacted to this announcement feeling down and announced a break.

Rekkles appears dejected and sad after the announcement

This was Rekkles’ reaction: Rekkles is currently playing for the trendy team, “Los Ratones.” There, in a regional league, he seems to want to wind down his career after becoming a world champion as a substitute player at T1 in 2024.

When he saw Thorin’s announcement, he ended his Twitch stream and canceled the planned practice matches with Los Ratones.

In the stream on Twitch, he says:

There have always been people who have wished me ill. But Thorin has always been this way. From day one. I expect the video to portray me in the worst light. I don’t know what’s in it. I don’t want to see the trailer, I don’t want to see the video. I am so extremely anxious that I can hardly speak – so I will stop the stream here and tell the guys that I can’t stream.

Rekkles takes a deep breath. He apparently has not been well since he learned that this video is coming.

Link to the Twitch content

What is meant by anxiety? The English word “anxiety” doesn’t have a proper translation in German, as the German word “Angst” carries a connotation of cowardice (“Angsthase”). However, anxiety in English is not viewed negatively but is rather understood as a relatable concern that one can openly talk about.

Thorin sees Rekkles as a narcissistic diva

What does Thorin say in the trailer for the video? Thorin describes Rekkles as a diva who sabotages games when he doesn’t get his way (via x).

In the meantime, the video “Rekkles is a narcissistic diva and a terrible teammate” has premiered on YouTube.

Thorin seems to be turning it into a big event.

Thorin has apparently had it in for Rekkles for 13 years, since he was 15

How is this being discussed? On Reddit, Thorin is primarily viewed critically. He is 41 and has been tyrannizing Rekkles for 13 years and does not understand that he himself comes across as a crazy narcissist. Thorin is seen to lack the authority to judge the character of others.

People are wondering where this one-sided obsession of Thorin with Rekkles comes from. Rekkles is such a great guy and has never engaged in this conflict.

One person says: There is nothing Thorin could say that would change his high opinion of Rekkles.

There are also some comments about the YouTube video expressing surprise as to why an adult man would start a beef with a 15-year-old and maintain it for 13 years.

Is there any truth to this?? There are indeed signs that Rekkles did not perform as strongly during his year in G2 as expected of him. Even the former CEO of G2 has poked fun in that direction. It was said that Rekkles was the “worst teammate you could have.”

Apparently, in recent years, several situations have not suited Rekkles; he had a rough patch from November 2020 to October 2023, changed teams and also positions, and was apparently unhappy at G2, Karmine Corp, and Fnatic.

However, whether this can be definitively attributed to Rekkles, who recently seemed to be having a great time at T1 and now at Los Ratones as he is winding down his career, seems questionable. Currently, he seems to have found his place and was doing well, until this video came, which has now thrown him off course. Rekkles seems to be taking Thorin’s criticism to heart: LoL: “Apart from the game, there’s not much in my life,” says a star player and starts crying on Twitch

A current movie is aiming to break a Star Wars record, and it might just succeed

Jasmin Beverungen 6. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In the first month of the year 2025, there could be a movie that could break the record of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. However, it will only be in cinemas in one country in the world.

Which movie is it? Ne Zha 2 is an animated film that will be released in Chinese cinemas on January 29, 2025, just in time for the Chinese New Year. The prequel was released in 2019. Fans had to wait 6 years to see the sequel to Ne Zha.

Ne Zha is a boy born from the essence of the demon sphere, which was destined for destruction. Everyone fears he will bring great calamity to the land. Ao Bing, on the other hand, grows up with the counterpart, the spirit pearl.
Ne Zha and Ao Bing are enemies from birth, but they become friends during the course of the first part.
In the first part, protagonist Ne Zha and Ao Bing died because they absorbed too much energy into their mortal bodies through the chaos pearl. However, with the help of Taiyi, they were able to become spirits that are worshiped.
In the second part, the focus is on restoring their bodies. Taiyi plans to use the seven-colored lotus for this purpose.

Ne Zha and Ao Bing must face dangerous sea creatures to regain their bodies. The film offers a mix of drama, fantasy, and animation. It is particularly well received by audiences: on the Chinese ratings platform Taopiaopiao, Ne Zha 2 has a rating of 9.8/10.

Chinese film could break Star Wars record

What record is that? Ne Zha 2 grossed an impressive 419 million euros in the first 5 days after its theatrical release. This means the film has surpassed many other movies, including a Marvel blockbuster: Avengers: Endgame grossed “only” 412 million euros in theaters in America during the same period.

Additionally, other records were broken:

Ne Zha 2 generated the highest sum in a single day in Chinese cinemas
The film is currently the highest-grossing film of 2025, although this could still be surpassed throughout the year
It is the highest-grossing non-English language film to date

Even though Ne Zha 2 will only be released in China, it could break another record set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Star Wars managed to gross 902 million euros in just one country, namely the USA, in 2015. In contrast, Ne Zha 2 could earn even more in China, thereby becoming the highest-grossing film in its own country.

The worldwide total of nearly 2 billion euros from Star Wars is something that Ne Zha 2 will likely not surpass (via Box Office Mojo). The team has set a goal of surpassing the 1 billion dollar mark, which is 964 million euros. However, experts estimate that Ne Zha 2 could earn around 675 million euros.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens set a record in the USA, but it is not the best part of the Star Wars saga. In our MeinMMO ranking, you will find all the films of the Star Wars universe and in the order of how good they are: All 15 Star Wars films ranked

WoW makes the dungeons easier because there will soon be better rewards

Cortyn 6. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

It sounds curious and yet makes sense. The hardest depths in World of Warcraft become easier because there is better loot available there.

With Patch 11.1 Lorenhalt, the depths of World of Warcraft are being revised. There are more and especially better rewards. However, this requires Blizzard to tweak the difficulty a bit as well. Those who think that the depths will become significantly harder are mistaken – the opposite is the case. The hardest depths will be considerably easier because there is now better loot to obtain there.

The following video showcases 3 absurd bugs from WoW:

WoW offers better loot in the depths

What does Blizzard have planned? In Season 2 of The War Within, there will be an even greater focus on the depths. Here, solo fans can collect even better gear in the future and will no longer depend on visiting “Mythic+”.

Until now, depths only provided good rewards up to level 8 – everything beyond that was basically unnecessary and only made sense for achievements.

However, since there will also be better loot in depths 9, 10, and 11 in the future, the difficulty here will be lowered a bit. These depths are still harder than a level 8 depth, but are no longer as draconically hard as they currently are.

What is the reason behind this? Until now, depths at levels 9, 10, and 11 had little benefit for character progression. They were simply challenges for those who wanted an extra-hard task. Therefore, depths at level 11 were also so tough that they were only interesting for characters that were fully mythically equipped.

With Season 2, however, depths above level 8 will grant additional rewards – even up to gilded emblems when completing depths at level 11.

Therefore, the difficulty was reduced to a level that corresponds to what depth fans can ideally obtain from the depths – that is, heroic gear, which has ideally been fully upgraded.

What actually happens with Brann? Brann Bronzebeard will accompany you in Season 2 of The War Within – and he even retains his current level. However, you can reach an additional 20 levels with him, so Brann will have a new max level of 80. At the same time, you can also approach the depths (effectively) as a healer for the first time and turn Brann into a tank. This way, the depths will truly be suitable for all specializations and play styles.

What definitely does not suit all play styles are some of the special achievements in World of Warcraft. Because for some of them, you have to sacrifice weeks, if not years, to obtain them: These are the 5 hardest achievements in World of Warcraft.

This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.

MMORPG on Steam reminiscent of Terraria, climbing to 86 percent positive – Now gets much nicer graphics

Karsten Scholz 6. February 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Although Kaetram has been earning more and more positive ratings on Steam since its Early Access launch in May 2024, the 2D MMORPG is still flying under the radar of many players. The largest update to date is supposed to change that.

What do I need to know about Kaetram? The 2D pixel MMORPG from developer OmniaDev Inc. launched on Steam in Early Access on May 17, 2024. Additionally, Kaetram can be experienced via Google Play or the App Store.

You can expect an online adventure in a medieval world, with all sorts of quests, treasures, challenges, and explorable underground worlds that, combined with the cute 2D pixel look, quickly evoke memories of the extremely popular Terraria.

Despite its old-school presentation, Kaetram has already secured 76 percent positive user reviews at the Early Access launch. Reviews from the past 30 days are even 86 percent positive (via Steam). The low number of reviews (294 in total) and the statistics from steamcharts.com (107 concurrently active players at peak from June 2024) indicate that the game is flying under the radar.

Here is the trailer for Kaetram from the Early Access release:
