Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

Although the game Shape of Dreams is not scheduled for release until May 2025, a demo has already attracted 5,000 players on Steam and has 92% positive reviews. We introduce you to this new game.

What kind of game is it? The game Shape of Dreams has a free prologue that you can easily try out on Steam. On November 12, 2024, the prologue of the game was uploaded, which expands the demo version of the main game with a new character, additional items, and an endless mode.

The game has already had over 5,000 simultaneous players on Steam (via steamcharts) and already boasts almost entirely positive reviews (via Steam).

You will get a first taste with the trailer:

MOBA meets Roguelike

Why does the game already have so many players? Through dynamic content and a great variety of characters and items, the game offers high replayability. This should already be noticeable in the free prologue.

The game also supports a co-op mode for up to four players if you don’t want to play alone.

This is the story: The boundary between reality and the dream world is torn in the story of Shape of Dreams. This allows players to travel to the interworld “The Rapids.” When crossing this, it is said that one can have a wish fulfilled.

This is the gameplay: Shape of Dreams combines MOBA elements with roguelite gameplay. You can choose between melee or ranged fighters, bruisers, tanks, or mages and then dive into the randomly generated world.

You attack with your memories from the past, which you can skill in different ways using gems or essences.

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon TCG Pocket you can obtain Mew as a secret card. MeinMMO explains which mission you need to complete for that.

What kind of card is Mew? Mew is a mysterious Pokémon from the first generation and belongs to the Psychic type. It is one of the absolute classics among Pokémon.

You can see what the card can do and what it looks like here:

Mew in Pokémon TCG Pocket.

What can the card do? Mew has 60 HP and knows the attack “Psycho-Revelation.” This deals 20 damage and shows you what cards your opponents have in their hand. It has a retreat cost of one energy, and it is an immersive card. If you keep your finger on the card, you can take a small flight through the image on the card.

Mission for the secret Mew in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Obtaining Mew in TCG Pocket: You cannot simply draw the card in the new TCG Pocket, but you need to complete a hidden task. To succeed, you simply need to have all the other 150 Pokémon from the first generation, i.e. from the Kanto region, recorded in your Pokédex.

This means: You just need to collect a lot of cards. At the end of the day, it is a test of patience until you have gathered the necessary cards. Be sure to check in the Wonder Trades to see if there are any cards available that you need to complete the task.

Earlier, legends circulated in schoolyards about the tricks to catch the monster in the Red and Blue editions for the Game Boy. Therefore, it is quite fitting that Mew also has a “secret” status in TCG Pocket.

One Piece brings new stories about 2 popular swordsmen, revealing more about their past

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

The two swordsmen Lorenor Zorro and Trafalgar Law are two of the most popular characters from One Piece. Soon there will be new information about their backgrounds that will expand on the novels featuring the two characters that have been released so far.

What kind of information is it? The new novel chapters are supposed to deal with the backstory of Zorro and Law. For Zorro, we will gain insight into what his life as a bounty hunter was like. He had worked as a pirate hunter before Luffy hired him for the Straw Hat crew.

In Law’s case, we will learn how he came into possession of his sword Kikoku. In the manga, we have already witnessed his childhood, but this new chapter focuses on a part of his life that we did not know about before.

Where will they be available? According to X-user newworldartur, the two new chapters are set to appear in the upcoming issue of One Piece magazine. The magazine with the cumbersome title “One Piece Magazine Special Feature: Laid-Back One Piece ~Laugh & Moff~ 019” will be released on December 4, 2024, in Japan.

A German version of the magazine is unlikely to be released. The previous magazines have never been published in Germany. However, there is hope that the chapters will reach us in another form.

Law makes a special appearance in the One Piece Stampede movie:

Anime: The Movie Trailer for One Piece Stampede

The backstory of Law and Zorro could come to Germany

When will the stories come to Germany? The new chapters are expansions of the previous two novels featuring Law and Zorro.

  • The first chapter of the One Piece novel Zoro was released on June 4, 2024, in Japan. The upcoming magazine will feature the second chapter.
  • The One Piece novel Law was already released on April 3, 2020, in Japan. It consists of four chapters and will receive a prequel to the existing story with the new section.

The German publisher Carlsen Manga recently announced that the first four chapters of One Piece – Law will be released in Germany on July 29, 2025. 

Since the novel is being released about five years after the release of the final chapter in Japan, it might unfortunately take some time before the new stories are available in German as well.

Are the novels official? Eiichiro Oda has nothing to do with the story of the novels, so they are not part of the official story. The novels can rather be seen as nice supplements that provide more details about the characters for whom there is no time in the manga.

There are many other events that the mangaka will not have time for to include in the manga. One incident we will never see was an unusual alliance between rival parties: In One Piece, there is an event you will never see in the anime

Player banned from MMORPG, loses items worth over €11,500, but a rare one can still be saved

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In the classic MMORPG Tibia, one of the richest players was permanently banned. He loses items worth over €11,500. However, one item may have been saved from deletion.

Update: The article was updated at 10:15 AM, as information about the background of the ban is now available.

Who is involved? The player “Diegothais” was one of the richest players in the MMORPG Tibia. This person plays a druid at level 257 on the oldest server “Antica.” He owned the golden outfit, the golden helmet, the winged helmet, and many other rare items in the MMORPG.

But with the exception of a single item, the rare items are now lost, as the player was recently permanently banned.

Why was the player banned? There is currently a ban wave sweeping through the MMORPG Tibia. Various players are affected, regardless of how rich or high-leveled their characters are. You can track who has been affected on the website tibiatracker.com.

According to the Polish streamer and Tibia content creator “Strojny” (via Kick.com), many players are currently being banned due to script programs. These programs are said to have executed macros that automated certain abilities.

For example, these macros are said to have pressed the “F1” key every half a second. It is possible that the player “Diegothais” was banned for using such a program.

Persist Online is the new MMORPG from the developers of Tibia; here you can watch the trailer:

Start video

The last item is still there

What about the item? Just before the druid was banned, he listed one of the rarest items in the auction house. The winged helmet was put up by him shortly before the permanent ban for 12 billion gold, which is approximately €11,550.

The item, which is about as valuable as a luxury watch, is the winged helmet. This helmet is so rare because it was only available in the early days of Tibia, and even at that time, it was hard to obtain. The helmet appeared just once every few months in the lighthouse in Thais and then disappeared again. Today, it is no longer available at all.

Due to his ban, the druid officially lost the helmet and all other items, but another player could save the helmet from deletion.

How can the helmet be saved? The rare helmet is still for sale in the auction house even after the permanent ban from the game. If a player comes forward who is willing to pay the 12 billion gold, the winged helmet can be saved from deletion.

If the helmet is purchased, the gold will probably be deducted from the buyer, but the banned player will never see it, as characters of permanently banned players disappear from the game.

Also, the druid Diegothais is no longer searchable; the character seems to have already been deleted. So, it remains to be seen whether the item will be saved from deletion. However, the rest of the player’s items are likely already lost forever.

In other MMORPGs, players also spend thousands of euros to buy items. In Throne and Liberty, however, you can earn that much money in the game if you successfully complete the castle siege: In Throne and Liberty, the most powerful guilds will receive up to €25,000 this weekend, and you can prevent it

An employee shares how his resume earned him a job for 280,000 euros at Amazon

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

An employee earns 300,000 dollars a year at Amazon. He explains that he got the job solely because of his resume. Meanwhile, he is now working in the Human Resources department and has some tips for future applicants.

Who is this person? Siddharth Kashiramka has been working at Amazon since 2022 and is involved in AI projects. Today, he is a Senior Product Manager at Amazon. Previously, he worked as a Product Manager at Capital One.

In a conversation with Businessinsider.com, he reports that his resume was an important reason why he was eventually hired. He shared his official resume online via Documentcloud.com. Here you can view the resume he applied with at Amazon.

Kashiramka practices interviews for a month to prepare

What did Kashiramka do? To prepare for his interview, Kashiramka connected with others who had made a similar career shift and practiced for a month by conducting mock sessions on a career service platform.

After several rounds of interviews, Kashiramka received a position in product management at Amazon in 2022. The job came with an annual compensation of about 300,000 US dollars (around 280,000 euros), a mix of base salary and stock options.

That’s why a resume is so important: He is now also working in the Human Resources department and explains that a good resume can be crucial when choosing between two applicants. He recounts:

I remember a case where there were two equally qualified candidates for a job. Both made it through the final round of interviews, but the offer could only be made to one. Ultimately, the decision hinged on the candidate with the more polished resume.

For this reason, he also recommends that others applying for positions take note of a few tips that helped him back then.

6 recommendations for your resume

What tips does he have? He himself explains that he has six tips for others to consider in their resumes.

  • Talk about your own impact: In his resume, he provides a detailed description of his previous tasks, followed by his work and its impact.
  • Provide a summary: Kashiramka explains that one cannot simply copy the summary of their own tasks; doing so would make the resume unique.
  • Show variety: Throughout his resume, Kashiramka used a variety of keywords, including “utilized”, “delivered”, “established”, and “collaborated”. This makes the resume more readable.
  • He recommends using a proofreading program and taking a second look at the document.
  • Write your resume in the first person. Writing about oneself in the third person not only feels strange but also affects the perception of the other company.
  • From his perspective, one should also aim to reduce the resume to one page.

More interesting employees: An employee is prohibited from working from home and must return to the office. But he doesn’t just take it lying down. The boss of an IT company forced an employee to return to the office. However, the employee “got back” at his boss by using a legal trick: Employee is forced by the boss to return to the office – he gives in and soon has his moment of triumph

Baldur’s Gate 3: „Is it worth playing again?“ – Players explain why a second run makes sense

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a huge game where you can make seemingly endless choices. A player is now asking on Reddit if a second run is worth it. According to other users, it actually makes sense.

What exactly does the player want to know? The Reddit user Fearless-Car-3000 writes that he is currently really in the mood for an RPG and fantasy. Dragon Age: The Veilguard disappointed him relatively quickly, and now he is considering starting a new run of Baldur’s Gate 3.

However, he has already completed the game once. Now he wants to know from the Reddit community if a second run makes sense: Is it worth playing BG3 again after completing it once?

The answers are clear.

What does the community say? For most commentators under the Reddit post, the answer is clear: Of course, Fearless-Car-3000 should definitely start a new run in Baldur’s Gate 3. The most upvoted comment explains that you can’t see everything there is to see in one run.

Here is a selection of additional pro arguments:

  • Hell yes. Just play a different class or take different companions than the first time. You can also make your companions completely different classes. Also, try a run as Dark Urge. – dehumanise7 via Reddit
  • I’m on my 12th run. Baldur’s Gate 3 is incredibly replayable, especially if you love roleplaying and/or RPG challenges. – Soft_Stage_446 via reddit
  • I’ve finished the game 34 times. Yes, it is worth replaying. If the gameplay gets boring, mods can make everything feel fresh again. – Glorf_Warlock via reddit

What exactly makes Baldur’s Gate 3 so replayable? In Larian’s RPG, hundreds of decisions are made that influence the current gameplay. This starts with the choice of character and class:

Depending on your choice, you have different dialogue options and the NPCs react differently. For example, someone playing a dark elf will have a completely different gaming experience than someone embodying a human.

The next point is the decisions made in the game. Do you side with the Emerald Enclave or the goblins in Act 1? Do you go over the mountain pass or through the underground in Act 2? Do you engage in a deal with the devil or not?

You can read about the most important decisions in Act 1 here:

Due to the many points of change, no run in Baldur’s Gate 3 is the same. Therefore, it is worth playing the game over and over again. However, it is advisable not to always choose the same base conditions.

If you decide on a new run, the chosen difficulty level can also have a significant impact on your gaming experience in Baldur’s Gate 3. The Honor Mode is particularly intense, and just one wrong decision can cost you many hours of gameplay: A romance in Baldur’s Gate 3 can make your Honour Run fail if you’re not careful

Hidden gem on Steam makes you a Roman general who destroyed Carthage, costs only 20 euros

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

If you can never get enough of the Roman Empire, Songs of Steel: Hispania might be worth a look. The game is available on Steam for only 20 euros.

What kind of game is this? Songs of Steel: Hispania is a turn-based strategy game. In it, you experience the conflict between the expanding Roman Republic and the Celtic-Iberian people of Numantia, who lived in present-day Spain.

You can experience the conflict from both the Roman and Numantian perspectives. On the Roman side, you play as the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus (the Younger), who later became known as the destroyer of Carthage, Rome’s famous arch-enemy. On the side of Numantia, characters like Rhetogenes and Leuco await.

On Steam, Songs of Steel: Hispania is available for just 19.99 euros. There you will also find a free demo if you just want to take a peek. In the official launch trailer, the developers briefly introduce their game and the conflict it covers. 

You can watch this trailer here:

Start video
Songs of Steel: Hispania on Steam lets you relive a forgotten conflict from Roman times

What makes Songs of Steel: Hispania recommendable? The Roman campaigns on the Iberian Peninsula are rarely addressed in video games. For this reason alone, Songs of Steel: Hispania already has the advantage of using an unexplored setting.

The player reviews on Steam are 92% positive; however, there are currently only 38 of them. For this reason, we would call it a hidden gem in this case.

Strategic battles with significant decisions 

How does Songs of Steel: Hispania play? MeinMMO has already played the demo of the strategy game. It feels like a mix between XCOM and the battles in Civilization. On the battlefield, you control troop formations and heroes on a hexagonal grid. Who wins is often determined by terrain, flanking maneuvers, and troop morale.

With each battle won, your surviving troops gain experience. In the camp, you can equip them with new weapons, thereby improving their combat strength. So you should be careful not to waste the lives of your soldiers unnecessarily.

Between battles, you make decisions that will impact your campaign. How you behave in certain situations, for example, influences the morale of your soldiers or how other characters perceive you. Additionally, you must manage your supply resources wisely.

The battles also play out nicely challenging, so even veterans should have fun with them. However, some reviews criticize that they can sometimes be too restrictive. The game often dictates how many units you can lose in a battle or how quickly you must win. Also, the size of your army is currently limited.

At its core, it is a good strategy game with some solid mechanics – both the positive and most negative reviews agree on that. For this reason, we would recommend trying out the demo first. If you purchase the game and end up not liking it, you can still take advantage of the return option on Steam.

Streamer shows his wedding on Twitch, responds to criticism: „At the end of the day, you are broke and can’t really talk!“

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

The influencer Jack Doherty live-streamed his wedding, among other platforms, on Twitch. However, his viewer counts were not in line with the chat messages, which led many to accuse him on X of buying the views. The content creator responded with a video post in which he gave sarcastic answers.

Who is this streamer? Jack Doherty is a US-American influencer who has faced quite a bit of criticism and is considered controversial. He built his wealth, among other things, through daring stunts and an OnlyFans empire.

After the 21-year-old recklessly caused an accident with his sports car on the highway, he was banned by the streaming platform Kick. In the meantime, he mostly streams on Parti.com because of this.

What is Parti.com? Parti.com is a relatively new streaming platform, similar to Twitch or Kick. Content creators can generate direct income on this platform.

We have summarized the five most relevant streamers in the German space in this video:

Jack Doherty allegedly buys views and reacts to the accusations

On Friday, November 15, 2024, Jack Doherty married the YouTuber McKinley Richardson while live-streaming simultaneously on Parti.com and Twitch.

On Twitch, people suspected that the viewer count of 17,000 must have been bought, as there were very few messages in the chat. This discrepancy was also noted by the user yoxics on X. Normally, more users would be writing in the chat, especially when there is such a high number as 17,000.

Furthermore, the viewer count allegedly frequently jumped from 7,000 to 17,000 when clicking on the stream, as shown in this video on X.

How did Jack Doherty react? The influencer responded with a video on X. His explanation: Since he was streaming simultaneously on Parti.com, he had told his viewers to write in the chat there. He would only read and interact with the chat there.

This was the reason for the few messages in the Twitch chat. He also added: “But I got married today. F**k the haters. At the end of the day, you are broke and can’t really talk!”

This is what the community said about it: However, the community didn’t really believe his explanations:

  • MAKBOT (on X): “Yeah, good luck explaining that”
  • clipzcrazy1 (on X): “Crazy that you have to do that, honestly”
  • Lagueccimane (on X): “Honestly, that sounds like something someone would say who is botting views”

Five characters from The Simpsons appear for only a few seconds, but are more important than you think

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

The Simpsons are an inseparable part of television history. However, five characters who appeared in the first episodes of the series vanished without a trace.

The Simpsons is the longest-running US animated series. Since 1989, the adventures of the famous family have flickered across screens. The series has since referenced current events, processed them satirically, and even predicted the future. The topic of e-sports also finds its place.

Famous are also the intro and the music within it. In the opening sequence, you see the family along with other characters from Springfield. However, only in the first few episodes of the first season can you see some specific citizens of the town. After that, they disappeared and never returned.

The Strict Rules of The Simpsons

What’s behind it? If you look at the first version of the intro, you can see Bart skateboarding past a group. It consists of five people who seem to be waiting for the bus.

You can see the scene at minute 01:00:

However, they only appear in the first 10 episodes of the first season. The reason for this is the strict guidelines that the creators of the series imposed on themselves. In the so-called “No-No Sheets”, the creative minds behind The Simpsons established how the characters should be designed.

These documents determined how, for example, eyes, teeth, or body parts should look. The “No-No Sheets” were not available from the beginning. They were completed only after the first episodes of the series had already been released.

In hindsight, it became clear that the five people at the bus stop did not meet the guidelines. Individual elements of the Simpsons family were reused, such as Bart’s hair. One character closely resembles the father Homer. The consequence: The five at the bus stop were banished from the intro.

The WoW Boss is Happy with The War Within – he just wishes he had caught this one bug

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The Game Director of World of Warcraft is happy with The War Within – and that, despite many bugs.

World of Warcraft: The War Within is generally considered a complete success – both for Blizzard and for the player community. The Game Director, Ion Hazzikostas, is also quite satisfied with the result. There are only a few mistakes he regrets – one of them being the annoying scaling bug that primarily affected the depths and the leveling-up experience in the first weeks.

What was said? In an interview with the magazine Games Radar, Hazzikostas spoke about The War Within and how satisfied they are with the expansion so far.

We have a lot of work ahead of us and a big, interesting story, systems, and features. But, when I think about the first months of The War Within, to be honest, on a high level, I don’t regret much as Game Director.

When asked what concerns come to mind, he primarily mentions a bug that dominated the first weeks of The War Within in several forms:

Yes, of course, if I could catch this scaling bug [that would be great]. I would love to go back and fix a few mistakes in the scaling and such things. But on a high level, regarding how our big bets paid off, how we equipped the features, and created the world for this ambitious story, I think that was worth it.

Why were there so many bugs? The fact that World of Warcraft, especially after Patch 11.0.5, was plagued by many bugs that sometimes made raiding impossible had deeper reasons. With the update, some of the foundations of World of Warcraft, which had become outdated, were revised. To make the game fit for the future, parts of the underlying systems were renewed – and in doing so, some complications arose that only became apparent afterward.

However, by now, most of these errors have been fixed, allowing the rest of the celebrations for the 20th anniversary of World of Warcraft to be enjoyed in peace. You can currently collect many tokens to buy yourself stylish tier sets.

Arcane Season 2 has hidden a champion in episode 5, which you can only recognize by their hairstyle

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Arcane is an animated series on Netflix that has taken the champions from League of Legends and developed a complex story from it. In episode 5 of season 2, there is also a champion that fans can recognize right away by their hairstyle.

Attention Spoiler: The following article contains light spoilers for Arcane season 2.

What is Arcane? Arcane is an animated series from Netflix based on the video game League of Legends. It tells the story of Vi and Jinx in the context of the conflict between two cities. The series deals not only with personal stories but also with societal issues such as resource scarcity and class struggle.

The series is also doing quite well with season 2. This is also due to hidden hints and details that show a love for the source material. In the latest episodes, a secret champion can be seen who confirms a fan theory from season 1.

Arcane looks fantastic, and that comes at a cost:

Which champion is it? In episode 5 of season 2, Singed collaborates with Ambessa. It is revealed why he conducts so much unethical research. He wants to save his daughter, who apparently is dying. At 22:20, a picture of his daughter in a music box can be seen. She looks just like the champion Orianna. You can see the comparison here:

This also confirms a theory from season 1. Many speculated in season 1 that Orianna is Singed’s daughter. This is also evident in an old reddit thread by user Particular-Estate-39.

In episode 5 of season 2, we learn the real name of Singed. Dr. Reveck. Corin Reveck is also the name of Orianna’s father, who is mentioned in her official lore from Riot (via the universe of League of Legends).

However, the lore is slightly changed. In the previous story, Reveck was a workshop master who built artificial limbs. However, Singed is an alchemist who primarily experiments with living beings and chemistry.

To what extent it then comes to Orianna becoming a robot with hextech is still unclear.

“I think I have never changed a setting so quickly”: Fans love the new mounts in Monster Hunter Wilds, but there is one thing that bothers them

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 2 minutes

With Monster Hunter Wilds, mounts will also return as a game element on February 28, 2025. The so-called Saikriis are received very well by the community. However, the controls, in particular, are a topic of discussion, as many find them lacking in accessibility and control.

What is the criticism? The control scheme is particularly criticized, being perceived by many as very vague and not intuitive. One reason for this is that there is an option to set whether the mount should move automatically or if full control will be given to the player when getting on. Many players find the controls too opaque and error-prone due to the different modes and options available.

Additionally, the delayed response of the Saikriis (in English Seikrets) to player commands and the fact that a button must be held down to stop are pointed out as criticisms. Many players are also annoyed that their mount constantly gets in their way during hunts, as the Saikriis default to wandering around on their own.

You can watch the new trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds here:

Start video

Options make it possible

What are the community’s opinions on this? On reddit.com, many fans report having taken advantage of these options during the beta, as the standard version simply didn’t feel good to them. User WarViper1337 even shares in a thread that he has never changed an option so quickly in his life.

However, there are also some players who very much enjoy the control style, even if it doesn’t seem particularly accessible at first. Some even compare the feel of the new mounts to riding real horses and find the control of the Saikrii to be more immersive than previous control methods after a period of adjustment. User —–LUCA—– even reports that he hated the controls at first before he saw the Saikrii as horses and not as Palamutes. Now he even loves the controls.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Flamefete – All about time, rewards and quests
von Alexander Mehrwald

How can this be circumvented? Most of the community’s criticisms can be adjusted in the settings as desired. For instance, you can switch the controls of the Saikriis completely to manual so that the animal does not run off unintentionally. You can also configure the settings so that the Saikrii stays in place after dismounting, preventing it from getting in your way during battles.

The choice of which mode to control in can also be changed at will while riding, with a button press on the respective key. This way, you can decide at any time whether you want to be carried or have more control yourself.

The automatic mode can also be turned off by holding the stick or the corresponding button forward. Additionally, how you call your mount and get on already determines in which mode you start.

But not only with the mounts has something new been tried out in Monster Hunter Wilds. The feline Palicos have also undergone a change that fortunately can be turned off from the fans’ perspective: Monster Hunter Wilds ruins the cute cat companions, but with a setting you can save them

Diablo 4: “Blizzard can’t win here” – Player complains about the small buffs, sparks a large discussion about balancing

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Blizzard has announced balancing adjustments for all classes in Diablo 4. These changes will make everyone stronger. Nevertheless, a part of the community shows dissatisfaction and complains. A discussion ignites that shows: No matter what Blizzard does, there will never be complete satisfaction among players.

These are the new buffs:

Start video
Diablo 4: Der Gameplay-Trailer zur 6. Season, der Saison des aufsteigenden Hasses

What is the problem with the buffs? Although Blizzard is buffing many skills and items with the new patch, they will not be enough to match the strength of the Spiritborn.

On Reddit, one user complains that such small buffs do absolutely nothing. The goal should be skills and builds that exist more in niche roles and do not play a part in the meta. The user laments:

Every patch cycle we get 10% more damage for some unused skill, which absolutely fucking does nothing to elevate this skill from “bad” to “good”. Not once. […] Changing a core skill from 50% to 60% does nothing.

It is more important to look at the multipliers. The small adjustments will lead to nothing and will not change the meta. The post receives much support with 700 upvotes, but also faces criticism in the over 400 comments. Because it can’t be that simple.

“That is the clear choice”

The current problem in Diablo 4 is that the Spiritborn completely overshadow every other class. Those who switch back to the old classes after the new one feel bad because everything seems much more difficult.

However, this is not due to the overtuning, but to bugs that make the Spiritborn so strong. The absurd numbers are not actually planned, as Blizzard has already confirmed. However, the patch policy is that such OP builds will not be nerfed in the season unless they cause performance issues.

The developers and some players with experience in development have already explained: One cannot simply bring all classes to the level of the broken OP builds. Otherwise, one quickly ends up with absurd builds that become even stronger each season. That is simply not feasible (keyword: Power Creep).

Spiritborn will receive a nerf with Season 7, but until then they remain “broken”. And no matter what else Blizzard does, there will always be people unhappy, explains a user:

Blizzard cannot win here. If they bring a fix, people will rage. If they don’t fix it, people will rage. Maybe fewer people are angry if they don’t fix it. And then that is the clear choice. It is what it is.

The opinions in the community on this topic are so divided that it is almost impossible to find a middle ground. Another user points out that it is crucial to prevent such bugs from entering the game in the first place.

However, this is not so easy, others explain. Millions of players can find more possibilities within the first hour than the entire QA team can in months. However, this problem is common in game and software development.

The balancing of classes has been a topic of discussion and conflict in every season since the release of Diablo 4. However, in Season 6 the unrest is somewhat greater because the very new class that requires payment is so strong. This will likely stabilize soon – and you can even test it for free for a while: The current top class in Diablo 4 actually costs 40 euros, Blizzard is offering it for a short time for free

Black Ops 6 introduces a new mode for beginners, it is directly the best method for XP farming

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

With Season 1, CoD: Black Ops 6 has introduced a new mode for beginners, which is meant to explain the story of the two zombie modes. Many, however, exploit this mode to gain XP quickly and easily. We will show you why you should do the same.

What kind of mode is this? On November 14, 2024, the first season of Black Ops 6 started, along with the “Guided” mode in Zombies. The Directed Mode is primarily designed to help newcomers in Zombies to complete the story-related Easter eggs with minimal stress.

To ensure this, the developers have implemented various adjustments in this mode so that fans can have a relaxing time. Although the mode was created for beginners, many veterans and camo grinders are now using the Directed Mode to efficiently gain a lot of XP.

Start video
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 shows the zombie mode in the trailer

Camo Grind and Quick Prestige in One

Why is the mode worthwhile? The Directed Mode places players on the selected map “Liberty Falls” or “Terminus,” where they have the Easter egg explained step by step for the story. Some things from the normal mode are missing in this mode.

These things include the S.A.M. tasks and the Ruckus Starter. Lastly, your rounds are capped at level 15 – you cannot aim for higher rounds, and the zombies will not become harder to defeat.

And that’s the point: the difficulty of the zombies. The higher rounds you aimed for in the normal mode, the more shots they can withstand. Starting from round 30 and higher, the tasks for headshots for the camos became a real ordeal, despite the large number of zombies. The enemies were simply bullet sponges.

However, with the Directed Mode, the round stops at level 15. You can complete the Easter egg, kill weak zombies, and easily farm XP for your weapons and ranks. We also recommend activating an XP token during your farming – this way, your yield will be more fruitful.

A trainer in Pokémon TCG Pocket is looking for friends from other countries because he is collecting special cards

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Already in the trailer of Pokémon TCG Pocket, it was possible to see that the card texts are available in different languages. A trainer is currently looking for new friends to expand his collection.

What kind of cards are these? In Pokémon TCG Pocket, there are cards in 9 different languages. Depending on the language you use in the app, the names and attacks of the Pokémon may appear in the following languages:

  • German
  • English
  • French
  • Spanish
  • Brazilian Portuguese
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Traditional Chinese

The cards do not differ in content. Only the text on the card is written in the respective language. For the battle mode, the card texts revert to the language you have set your app to. This ensures that you understand what you are doing in the duel.

In duels, you should rely on the following decks:

20,000 people are currently playing a 6-year-old Warhammer game on Steam – Here’s what makes it so good

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is a co-op game for Steam, PS5, and Xbox. Although it was released back in 2018, Vermintide 2 currently has tens of thousands of players on Steam. The reason is a strong sale that you can still take advantage of for a short time.

What kind of game is this?

  • You can roughly imagine Vermintide 2 as Left 4 Dead in the world of Warhammer: 4 characters navigate through levels and fight against Skaven and Chaos Cultists.
  • There are 5 heroes to choose from, each with different specializations that you can equip and level up. This way, you become stronger and can tackle tougher difficulties.
  • Over the years, Vermintide 2 has received new content, such as a new type of enemy, as well as events and other content.

This is why everyone is currently playing Vermintide 2: Until November 26, 2024, there is a big sale on Vermintide 2 on Steam. You can get the base game here for just 1.39 euros, and all DLCs are also heavily discounted.

The player count has exploded as a result. Over 20,000 players have been playing Vermintide 2 simultaneously since the sale (via steamcharts). This is the highest peak, since the game was given away for free in 2022. At that time, over 100,000 players were playing.

Additionally, Vermintide has recently received a new PvP mode, where you can even become Skaven and sabotage other players. The mode is purely optional and does have some fans.

“Great if you enjoy slaughtering rats in a team”

Recent reviews are at 77% and are therefore “mostly positive” – and lower than the reviews over the entire period (84%). However, the negative reviews particularly criticize the grind, which players find too laborious.

Theoretically, you could invest hundreds of hours into the characters, leveling them up and fully equipping each “career”, i.e., class. At its core, it’s mainly about taking down some Skaven, Chaos worshippers, and Beastmen with three friends.

Gameplay is at the forefront in Vermintide 2. You fight against “normal” enemies but also against elite foes, mini-bosses, and even real boss arenas in specific missions. Particularly at higher difficulties, you need to coordinate well.

Compared to Left 4 Dead, Vermintide 2 focuses more on melee combat, thus you are much closer to the action. Ammunition is heavily limited, and most classes will pummel enemies with axes, hammers, and swords. Furthermore, Vermintide 2 is a great way to dive into the vast world of Warhammer for the price: In a perfect world, the biggest MMORPG today would be World of Warhammer

The MMORPG for Star Wars is getting a new graphics update after 12 years, bringing a major update with more story

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Star Wars: The Old Republic, a major update with many innovations will be released later this year. This time, the developers are introducing entirely new events, among other things.

What has been announced? As the developers from Broadsword announced in an update post and a livestream on the website swtor.com, the major Update 7.6 for SW:TOR will be released in December this year. Many innovations will come to the game, along with further updates to the graphics.

One of the major innovations is the dynamic events, which are intended to breathe new life into the planets in the game. In addition, the new patch will also introduce fresh cosmetic items, speeders, and companions. There will also be a new free long hairstyle for everyone.

In the video, you can see how the new Star Wars developers are improving the game’s graphics without changing everything:

Start video
The new developers of the Star Wars MMORPG show in the video how they will improve the graphics

Dynamic Events and More Story

What is the deal with the dynamic events? The new dynamic events in the game aim to revive the planets from the game a bit. For the first time since the release, various daily events will take place at different intervals that players can complete.

The regular dynamic events are independent of the progress of players and are not directly linked to the main storyline; instead, you may, for example, herd escaped Banthas that are wandering around the spaceport.

In the “hidden chain invasions” events, you will need to stop the forces of Heta Kol while they cause chaos in the galaxy. The dynamic events will initially kick off on the planets Hoth and Tatooine.

What about the story expansion? Update 7.6 will also expand the current story by several sections. The new missions will take you to Hoth and Tatooine and will directly tie in with the story from Update 7.5.

While Update 7.6 is set to be released in December 2024, the story will likely continue only afterwards. As the developers state on their website (via swtor.com), the release is being postponed until the story is fully developed. However, it is still unclear when exactly that will be.

What is the situation with the graphic updates? Since the takeover of the developers from Broadsword, there have been repeated upgrades to the game’s graphics. While the developers initially started small, with individual objects on the space stations, larger steps will follow in the new update.

The planets Tython, Korriban, Hoth, and Ilum will receive improved textures to beautify the game. The focus will be mainly on replacing ground textures and trees. Individual objects like statues on the planets will also be replaced. In addition to the better textures on the planets, there are also the first graphic upgrades for characters.

The species of humans, Chiss, cyborgs, Miraluka, Mirialan, Togruta, Rattatak, and Zabrak will all receive updates to their appearance. While the species will not lose their typical look, they will be presented with slightly more detailed textures.

Pokémon GO starts ‘Off to Adventure’ – How rare is Toxel

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Pokémon GO starts today “Off to Adventure”. What the event brings, how you can get Toxel, and what legendary monsters are involved, we will show you here.

When does “Off to Adventure” start? The event runs from Monday, November 18, 2024, and is already active. It ends on Friday, November 22 at 11:59 PM.

What kind of event is this? “Off to Adventure” leads directly to the big “GO Nature Zone” next weekend. This event is supposed to be a preview of the major event.

For this reason, Toxel is debuting – the baby Pokémon that can evolve into Riffex. And Riffex is, along with its Dynamax and Gigantamax variants, one of the stars of the Nature Zone.

We will show you here what exactly to expect over the course of this week.

Start video

Off to Adventure in Pokémon GO – All about Toxel, legendary Pokémon, bonuses

How rare is Toxel? Toxel is the new baby Pokémon in Pokémon GO. You can obtain it in the event by hatching 10 km eggs. As of now, Toxel is included in the level-3 rarity of the 10 km eggs. So it is significantly easier to get than the super-rare 10 km monsters like Ignivor.

Which legendary Pokémon are on their way? In level-5 raids, the legendary Pokémon Anego, Kapu-Riki, Dialga in its primal form, and Palkia in its primal form will appear.

All four also have the possibility of appearing as shiny. Especially exciting are Dialga and Palkia, as they can learn the special adventure effect attacks in their primal form. However, it is not guaranteed that they will know them when you catch them. At least: There is a chance for the attacks.

Get Dynamax-Rotomurf: In the Dyna battles, you can currently encounter Dynamax-Rotomurf. You should grab this urgently to have the ideal counter against Riffex this weekend.

What bonuses does this week bring? The following bonuses apply:

  • The remote raid limit is increased to 20 until Thursday, November 21 inclusive
  • From Friday to Sunday, there is no remote raid limit
  • On Monday, November 18, you will receive more XL candies after Dyna battles against Rotomurf

Additionally, there are two event tickets in the shop that can provide you with further bonuses. However, these cost 5.99 euros each.

In addition, you can catch so-called “powerful” Pokémon during the event. All information about the GO Nature Zone is summarized here for you.

In Sailor Moon there is a warrior who suffers from a tragic curse

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Sailor Venus is one of Sailor Moon’s best friends. Together, they fight against all threats to humanity in the anime. The fighter hunted criminals even before her time as a Sailor Warrior. However, she became a victim of a terrible curse.

Who is it about? Sailor Venus is the last of the “Inner Senshi” to join the group around Sailor Moon. However, she is actually the very first warrior to awaken, about 1 year before all the others.

The term “Inner Senshi” is used by fans to refer to the 5 original warriors. This includes Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus. All other warriors like Sailor Neptune are referred to as “Outer Senshi”.
  • The Sailor Warrior’s civilian name is Minako Aino, and she met the moon cat Artemis at the age of 13, who can even transform into a real human.
  • Sailor Venus was revived by Artemis. However, her powers were not fully restored, which is why she initially fought against the Dark Agency as Sailor V.
  • In the final battle against Danburite, the leader of the Dark Agency, her powers awakened fully. Only then does she become Sailor Venus.

But Danburite and Sailor Venus share a tragic fate. In the final battle, the warrior is cursed by her opponent before he dies. From then on, her life is determined by her curse.

Sailor Moon recently got a reboot:

Start video
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal: Official Trailer for the Movie

Sailor Venus is cursed by her great love

What kind of curse is that? When Sailor Venus tries to save Danburite from a deadly fall, she is cursed by him. He predicts that the warrior will never find true love. The reason: Sailor Venus is to always place her duty before her own love life.

And although Sailor V’s adventures are not an official part of Sailor Moon, she is actually never in a happy relationship in the anime and manga.

Who is Danburite? During the times of the Silver Millennium, when Sailor Moon was still the ruler of the Moon, Danburite lived as Adonis. He has some similarities with Tuxedo Mask – only, that he is not as useless. 

At that time, he was immortal in love with Sailor Venus. After the fall of the Silver Millennium, he was reborn as Saijo Ace. His love for the Sailor Warrior remained even when he switched sides to the villains.

The 10 Best Swordsmen from Game of Thrones in the Power Ranking

Linda Baumgartl Linda Baumgartl Reading time 7 minutes

To survive in the harsh world of Game of Thrones, one should be able to defend oneself well. For example, with a sword. In this list, we reveal who masters this art the best.

What was the ranking based on? In Westeros and Essos, there are numerous good fighters. Especially in the books, legendary warriors are sometimes only mentioned in passing. To make a selection, we limit this ranking to characters who:

  • are seen in the series.
  • primarily fight with a sword.

As a result, characters like Robert Baratheon, Khal Drogo, Oberyn Martell, Gerold Dayne, or Garlan Tyrell unfortunately did not make it into this list.

Many characters also experience development during the series. To compare strength, we refer to the peak of their abilities under optimal circumstances.

Spoiler warning: To explain the ranking, some events from the books and the series will be spoiled.

Place 10: Bronn

Game of Thrones - Jaime, Bronn
Jaime Lannister and Bronn

Bronn did not receive the combat training of a lord. Nevertheless, he is an opponent who should not be underestimated. As a mercenary, he has learned to assert himself and survive in the harsh world. In duels, he does not shy away from dishonorable tricks as long as it brings him victory. He is also very nimble and prefers to fight without heavy armor and shield to remain agile.

Especially iconic is his duel against the knight Ser Vardis Egen in the “Trial by Combat”, where he proves his skill and saves Tyrion from a conviction.

He is also knighted, receives the title “Lord of Highgarden” along with a castle, and becomes Master of Coin – not bad for a mercenary without noble heritage.

Place 9: Arya Stark

Game of Thrones - Arya

Arya has always preferred to be a knight rather than a fine lady. Although she does not achieve it directly, she still learns incredibly impressive skills. Especially with her sword “Needle”, one of the few and very valuable swords made of Valyrian steel, she knows how to handle.

Through her training as a Faceless One, she learned to act from the shadows. Her strengths are agility, flexibility, and cunning. She could potentially kill any candidate on this list – but not in a fair duel. She mainly lacks strength and combat experience due to her young age.

Place 8: Loras Tyrell

Game of Thrones - Loras

Ser Loras Tyrell is also known as the “Knight of Flowers”. However, one should not be deceived by this nice title. With a sword in hand, he can be extremely deadly.

Especially in the books, it becomes clear how great his skill in battle really is. It is even rumored that he is a better swordsman than Jaime Lannister and Gregor Clegane. However, this is never confirmed. He does defeat Jaime once – but it is during a joust.

Another testament to Loras’ skills is his position as a member of the Kingsguard. Only seven knights are honored with the privilege of wearing the white cloak. And of course, only the best and most capable warriors of the realm are chosen for this.
