The Sprint Boost in EA FC 25 was supposed to be removed from the game with a patch. Yet some players are still benefiting from a speed boost. On MeinMMO, you will learn how to continue using the Sprint Boost.
What is the Sprint Boost? With the Sprint Boost, your player accelerates from a standstill or during slow dribbling to top speed in a brief moment.
Particularly the explosive start makes the Sprint Boost the perfect means to overcome opposing defenders with little effort.
Why was the Sprint Boost patched? At the beginning of FC 25, any professional could execute the Sprint Boost, regardless of whether they had a lot or little speed. The consequence was that most players focused only on this OP boost, which seemed quite annoying.
With one of the first major patches for FC 25, the problem was initially fixed, as its effectiveness was significantly reduced for all players. But this also brought new problems.

Sprint Boost now works thanks to 2 PlayStyles
The Sprint Boost has been available again under adjusted conditions for some time now.
How does the Sprint Boost work now? The inputs on the controller remain the same. Press L1 on the PlayStation/LB on the Xbox to enter side dribbling. To execute the Sprint Boost, release L1/LB abruptly and sprint with R2/RT in the desired direction in front of you.
This triggers the Sprint Boost, at least for certain players. Because you now need at least one of two PlayStyles for maximum acceleration.
Which PlayStyles do you need? There are now 2 important PlayStyles for the Sprint Boost:
Quick Step (Silver/Gold)
Frenzy (Silver/Gold)
For “Quick Step” and “Frenzy”: The better the PlayStyle, the more effective the Sprint Boost. This means players who have one of these two PlayStyles in Gold will have an even quicker start than the professionals who only have them in Silver.
As Frenzy and Quick Step are usually possessed by very fast players, the revised Sprint Boost has become somewhat more logical and no longer seems completely arbitrary. In our RTTK tracker, you can also find some players who have the required PlayStyles for the Sprint Boost: EA FC 25 RTTK Tracker for all players: Upgrades, Progress, and key dates at a glance

Steam takes a large cut of the revenue from game sales. This should change in the future – at least the developers think so.
In recent years, there have been many good RPGs, and one of the best has likely been Disco Elysium, which currently has a 93% positive rating on Steam. However, the developer behind it, ZA/UM, has since broken apart – many new studios have emerged from it. One of them is Summer Eternal, and they have a clear idea of what is going wrong in gaming right now: One-third of the revenue from sales goes to “digital lords,” such as Steam.
Start video
DISCO ELYSIUM – Launch Trailer
What is the problem with Steam? In an interview with VG247, Dora Klindzic and Aleksandar Gavrilovic from Summer Eternal discussed the current state of affairs in the gaming industry.
The last few years have been particularly bad, as many companies have seen numerous layoffs, affecting mainly developers who often have a poorly paid job under harsh conditions. Klindzic puts it somewhat more dramatically:
I believe the industry is at an end. But fortunately for everyone, video games are not.
Gavrilovic picks up on this thought:
Now, after tens of thousands of layoffs, the right time has come for developers to rise, fight for their rights, and take action against systemic greed.
However, it will still take some time before it comes to that. Gavrilovic even expects that “there will be a second crisis that highlights the biggest structural problem in game development – the fact that one-third of all PC revenue from developers, from indie studios to AAA, goes to digital loans.”
This primarily refers to Steam from Valve. Because when a developer sells something on the Steam platform, 30% of the sale price goes to Steam.
Gavrilovic hopes that there will be alternatives in the future, especially in the hands of the developers, but says he “does not have the imagination to envision a community-operated replacement for Steam. This ‘winter castle’ will not fall easily, but we should at least start talking openly about alternatives.”
Is Steam really that bad? The 30% that Steam takes from every sale has been a topic of heated discussion for years. Back then, the Epic Games Store made a significant announcement that it wanted to take a significantly smaller share compared to Steam – the criticism has been around for a while.
Also, the 30% “on everything” is not entirely accurate, as Pirate Software explains in a stream:

For example, if you buy a game key from another platform or from a merchant and redeem it on Steam, Steam receives nothing from that – and still provides the service.
However, there are also many developers who are satisfied with the 30%. Because Steam generates a tremendous amount of reach for this 30%, meaning games are generally sold many times more than if they were not sold on Steam. The additional revenue from Steam sales would more than compensate for the 30%. Moreover, Steam offers a comfortable platform not only for the players but also for the developers with additional features.
What is clear, however, is that Steam has a quasi-monopoly in the gaming community. Those who want to play on PC generally use Steam from Valve – most competing providers like the Epic Games Store or GOG are relatively niche by comparison. Some developers even say: Only Steam is worth it, Epic Games Store brings nothing.

A candidate from 7 vs. Wild suddenly feels very unwell at night. After the group notices no improvement, a Code Red is sent.
Attention: If you are not up to date with 7 vs. Wild, the article may contain spoilers for you. We have chosen Fritz Meinecke in the title image as the face of the series to avoid spoilers.
Who is it about? The new episode begins right with the emergency. The Luxembourg candidate LetsHugo is feeling unwell. He is coughing and spitting up mucus, even though everything was fine a few hours ago. Although he is shivering, he claims he is not cold: “I am not cold, I have this other shivering,” he says in the episode.
Survival expert Joe Vogel asks him important questions:
“When did it start?”
“Try to describe what it is […]”
“Do you have mucus only in your throat?”
“Does it taste weird?”
The candidate complains of severe heartburn, spits out mucus, and is shaking continuously. However, the situation suddenly worsens.
The Luxembourg contestant starts to cry, and his coughing intensifies. He now also complains of stomach pain. “Please, please press,” he pleads with the other participants. The other participants act immediately and send the Code Red.
In 7 vs. Wild, the contestants regularly send messages, called codes, to the organizers. In the morning and evening, the contestants send a Code Green, confirming that everything is fine. A Code Yellow requests a pickup where no emergency exists. A Code Red should only be sent when there is an immediate danger situation. It triggers the rescue chain immediately.
You can learn more about LetsHugo and his career in our video:
Start video
He dropped out of school because streaming was more important to him – The success of LetsHugo
Rescue in the Middle of the Night
How does the rescue work? It is shortly after midnight in the operation center when the emergency call from LetsHugo’s emergency transmitter comes in. Fritz Meinecke tries to reach the group via satellite phone, but the reception is disturbed.
At the same time, a rescue team is already on the way to the contestants. Through the videos of the “Behind the Scenes” format, it is known that no confirmation is waited for in a Code Red.
The reception via the satellite phone could not be established, but the candidates manage to send a text message. In the SMS, they inform that LetsHugo needs to be rescued and that the situation is life-threatening.
The founders of the show, Fritz Meinecke, Johannes Hovekamp, and Maximilian Kovacs, are visibly worried as the rescue rushes to the contestant.
What does the rescue team on-site say? When the rescue team arrives on-site, LetsHugo complains of severe cramps in his stomach. A doctor examines the participant and then takes him with the rescue team to the operation center. From there, the contestant is taken directly to the hospital, with Fritz Meinecke by his side. However, there is no comment on his condition.
In the series, you can still see LetsHugo lying in a hospital bed.
In a displayed message, it is announced that the situation will be presented in detail with an update on the health status in an episode of the “Behind the Scenes” format on YouTube.
Should we be worried about LetsHugo? Although the situation was recent, the rescue apparently went well. The contestant reached the hospital quickly. Since he has since returned cheerfully after the time of 7 vs. Wild, he seems to have coped well with the situation.
Bungie has remained silent for over a year. There was no new information or teasers about the shooter, but now the Game Director, Joe Ziegler, has officially spoken out and revealed what you should know about the extraction shooter.
Who is speaking here? Joe Ziegler is the Game Director of Marathon and has been working on the project since mid-2023. He succeeded the former head of Marathon, Christopher Barrett. Since the brief teaser in the PlayStation Showcase 2023, there has been no new information regarding the extraction shooter. Only scattered leaks from insiders, but official voices from Bungie have been absent – until now.
Joe Ziegler unexpectedly announced a dev update on YouTube. The developer describes the current state of the shooter, addresses some topics, and even provides some sneak peeks of the heroes from the universe. Here’s a brief summary of what you need to know.
Start video
Marathon Announce Trailer PS5 & PC
Two characters have been introduced
What was said in the video? Joe Ziegler introduced himself and explained on YouTube what the dev update is about and what you can expect:
The shooter takes place in the universe of Marathon, one of Bungie’s oldest IPs
It is a hardcore extraction shooter
There will be multiple characters with different talents
Codenames “Thief” and “Stealth” were introduced
Players will be able to collect a lot of loot to improve their character, also called runner
If you are defeated in a round, you lose all your loot
Runner: ThiefRunner: Stealth
What is particularly interesting is the way Bungie approaches development. Joe Ziegler emphasizes that many tests have been conducted with players and content creators to refine the game based on feedback. So far, these tests have taken place on a smaller scale, but Bungie aims to expand them in 2025 to gather more feedback from players. It is quite possible that an open beta will start in 2025.
Additionally, the Game Director revealed that you can expect more information about the extraction shooter in mid-2025. What type of information is still unknown.
What do fans say? They see this update from the developers more as a reminder – as if Bungie is trying to raise awareness for the game again. Especially the “hero system” is being discussed, as apparently hardly anyone wants it. The following can be heard on YouTube:
“Please don’t make the characters heroes. I am exhausted from hero shooters.” – ian_g
“I hope the runners will be aesthetically similar to the androids from the first trailer, I really like their designs.” – Anto_inKai
“It would be good if there were runner classes like ‘Thief’ that had some unique abilities and model designs, but you should still be able to customize YOUR character as ‘Thief’, instead of having 10 copies of the same specific Thief running around in the world.” – zoloir5384
“I am not particularly fond of the hero shooter feel that the runners are projecting. I was really looking forward to building and developing my own character instead of using a pre-made one.” – CybenX_yt
The balance in World of Warcraft is changing drastically again. Especially warriors and warlocks are receiving buffs – but hunters are getting nerfs.
The release of Patch 11.0.5 in World of Warcraft was just about a week ago. It quickly became clear that the major revisions of various specializations had caused the balance to be suboptimal. Coinciding with the maintenance work on Wednesday, the developers want to correct these errors and implement some adjustments that will have significant effects.
Currently, WoW is celebrating its anniversary:

What changes are coming to the classes? In the official WoW forum, Blizzard has already presented the planned changes. Here we provide a brief overview of the winners and losers of the balance changes and describe the most important adjustments at a glance:
Blood Death Knights deal more damage, while the hero talents of San’layn are improved.
Balance Druids deal more damage in single-target fights.
Hunters (Beast Mastery and Marksmanship) are too strong in single-target fights. Here, they receive nerfs, while area damage is slightly increased elsewhere.
Mistweaver Monks receive a significant buff, dealing 6% increased healing, but must accept a talent weakening as a trade-off.
Holy Paladins will consume more mana when healing.
Discipline Priests receive stronger direct healing, allowing them to heal even when no enemy targets are present.
Shadow Priests enjoy an increase in damage against groups.
Shamans receive their expected nerfs. Both Enhancement and Elemental are being weakened.
Warlocks are improved in all specializations, with bonuses of up to 25% on individual spells.
When are the changes going live? All the adjustments will occur – as usual – with the maintenance on Wednesday, which is on 30.10.2024. Once the server maintenance is complete, you should notice the adjusted values for your characters.
If you are interested in the complete and extensive patch notes, you can view them in detail on the second page of the article. Also starting tomorrow, there will be significantly more event tokens for WoW’s anniversary, allowing you to unlock rewards faster.

The developers of Throne and Liberty are taking major action against RMT (real money trading) for the first time, penalizing players who have obtained Luzent from unofficial sources.
What do the measures look like in detail? On X, the responsible parties from Throne and Liberty explain that they are monitoring activities related to RMT (real-money trade) and have now begun enforcing measures against players who have violated the MMORPG’s terms of service.
Every player convicted receives a deduction of the Luzent value from their account balance that they allegedly purchased through unofficial sources.
The post by Significant_Heart_81 on Reddit shows what this can mean. Affected is an account with -8,200 Luzent. Until this negative value on an account is balanced out (in the shown case, it would cost about 120 euros), the corresponding player is sanctioned and their access to the auction house is restricted.
Furthermore, the developers clarify that serious or repeated cases of RMT can lead to stricter measures, including permanent bans. It is unclear whether individual accounts have already been banned.
Guilds are extremely important in Throne and Liberty, but don’t let yourselves be persuaded into RMT:
Start video
Throne and Liberty: Deshalb ist eine große und aktive Gilde so wichtig
Negative for the gaming experience of all players
In the end, Amazon Games and NCSoft clarify on X that they follow a zero-tolerance policy regarding RMT. The reason for this:
Participation in RMT activities negatively impacts the economy and the gaming experience for all players, as it promotes bot activities, favors fraudulent transactions, and endangers the hard work of players who adhere to the rules. We are committed to maintaining a fair and equal gaming environment, and we welcome your feedback and support as we work to continuously improve the gaming experience in Throne and Liberty.
Insane_Unicorn is excited on Reddit: “NCSoft announces bans for real money trading, the top guilds are finished.”
Jammychop celebrates on Reddit: “All of this happening to those who obtained Luzent through bots is really fantastic. Never in my MMO years have I seen an action of this magnitude against those spreading this kind of cancer.”
Syn4TW sees on X the developers at fault: “I’m glad to see you are taking action, but what did you expect when you allow a free market and let people offer weapons worth almost $2,000 for Luzent?”
strat3g sees a hidden agenda at Amazon Games (via Reddit): “They are clever and greedy… They could simply ban people for this, but that would diminish their profits. Now, players with negative balances are forced to pay if they want to keep playing. I think there will be a noticeable decrease in population since many people have engaged in RMT.”
The previously mentioned Significant_Heart_81 admits that he himself has used RMT and purchased Luzent through a third-party website for $350. Therefore, he claims he was rightly punished (via Reddit):
“I think this is actually a good thing. I have done RMT in several other games, and this is the only one that has ever caught me/action taken against me. So good for them.”
Significant_Heart_81 also explains that he actually received about 30,000 Luzent through RMT, but only about 12,000 Luzent were deducted from his current balance (about 4,500). Nonetheless, it is a clever punishment, as he can only get out of this situation by purchasing Luzent through the official way to balance his account.

Update from October 18, 2024 – 09:26 AM: The Halloween skins have now also arrived in our in-game shop. Additionally, the officials from Throne and Liberty announced on X.com that more information about the Halloween event will be released next week. A specific date or content has not yet been disclosed.
When is the Halloween event? The Halloween event in Throne and Liberty is set to be the first event that will be released simultaneously worldwide in all versions of the MMORPG. Thus, Amazon Games may want to avoid any potential spoilers from the already released Korean version. So far, the event has not been officially presented yet, but we have still been spoiled.
For in Korea, the new Halloween skins for Throne and Liberty already appeared on October 10, 2024. Here, however, there is no trace of the skins. Contrary to expectations, we also have no other indications of the Halloween event. When the costumes will arrive in our in-game shops and when the Halloween event starts is still unclear. MeinMMO has all the current information for you.
Once Amazon Games reveals the official start date, we will update this announcement

When does the Halloween event start for us? Two weeks ago, Daniel Lafuente (Globalization Design Manager at Amazon Games) stated in an interview on YouTube.com that the Halloween event will start simultaneously with Korea, and it will be this month. However, he did not disclose a specific date.
One of the great things about having a strong relationship with NCSoft is that we work closely with them so that we can have certain content that launches parallel to the Korean service. The first of these will be the Halloween event, which launches later this month, meaning it will be the same event taking place in Korea and the AGS version.
Daniel Lafuente (Globalization Design Manager at Amazon Games) via YouTube.com
On the official page of Throne and Liberty (via playthroneandliberty.com), it was also assured that the content for the spooky adventure would have the same timeframe worldwide. This is to prevent any spoilers. Furthermore, it is stated that they will reveal more about the upcoming Halloween event on the official Throne and Liberty channels as the event approaches. However, no further information has been released there yet.
However, some western players seem to be nervous, as the Halloween skins have already been implemented in the Korean version of Throne and Liberty.
Is the Halloween event already taking place in Korea? Players like YouTuber Wakayashi have access to the Korean version of the game and are showcasing the new Halloween skins via YouTube.com. Apart from that, it seems no event has started in Korea either.
Thus, we have not been spoiled regarding the event; however, the skins have been. They were showcased three weeks ago during an official Korean livestream on YouTube.com by Throne and Liberty. Here you can take a look at the skins yourself:
Throne and Liberty Halloween Skins
When will the Halloween event come to us? Since the server reset always takes place on Wednesday at 6 AM, there was high hope that the skins might reach us today. But no sign, currently no Halloween skins are available in our shop. The next reset is on October 23, 2024, at 6 AM. So we might get a surprise next week.
Definitely keep an eye on the social media channels of Throne and Liberty, as the first official information about the event should be shared there.

The Bronze Dragon Celebration tokens cause stress in World of Warcraft. Because now you have to play content that you don’t even want – that will change.
In World of Warcraft, the 20th anniversary event of the MMORPG is currently taking place. However, the event is quite long, lasting over more than 2 months. Therefore, the event is also designed in such a way that many rewards can only be unlocked over time. The desired Bronze Dragon Celebration tokens are particularly criticized, as you have to complete a lot of activities for them – many of which you might not actually want to do anymore. At least that is the view of many in the community.
Blizzard has reacted to this and announced major changes.
Start video
WoW celebrates its 20th anniversary – Here’s what you can earn
What is the problem? World of Warcraft has taken the approach with The War Within that all players only have to do content that they really want to play. Therefore, for example, only the first two reward boxes from public events yield direct loot. If you don’t feel like the theater event, you don’t have to participate in it to get the box.
However, with the anniversary event, it’s a step back. Because almost all activities are associated with a Bronze Dragon Celebration token. So if you want the fancy Tier-2 sets in modern graphics, you have to play a lot of content that you might not even feel like doing.
This is how the problem is discussed: In the WoW subreddit, the player Neyubin writes in the thread “The anniversary tokens in the game are just far enough out of reach that I don’t care”, that the event falls a bit short of expectations. The biggest criticism is that the various actual mini-events in Tanaris (so far) don’t give any tokens at all. Instead, you have to play content that often has little to do with the event – like various weekly tasks on Khaz Algar.
Unreliable Potato agrees, stating:
It’s not bad that it takes a long time, but it’s not fun, offers no challenge or interest. It’s just work.
What ideas did the community have? Within the player base, there are many ideas to improve the event relatively easily. One of the approaches would be to limit the acquisition of the Bronze Dragon Celebration tokens weekly but to expand the sources.
For example: Per week you can get 35 tokens, but from all activities endlessly. So if you want, you can run Timewalk dungeons all the time and collect all the tokens for the week there.
This is how Jinxzy phrases it:
The worst part is that this is a solved problem.
They could have easily made it so that almost every activity grants the tokens and is repeatable. And then they would have a weekly cap for the tokens. But no, they have to try to force people into EVERY type of content in the game until they are sick of it, for several months.
Blizzard drastically increases drop rates for Bronze Dragon Celebration tokens
With the weekly maintenance on Wednesday, Blizzard implements exactly this feedback and drastically increases how many Bronze Dragon Celebration tokens you can obtain from various activities, as stated in the official WoW forum:
Weekly Dornogal quests give 10 tokens
Bonus weekend quests (Timewalking, World Quests, Arena, Battlegrounds, Dungeons, Depths) give 10 tokens.
Area activities (collecting wax, theater performance, covenants in Azj-Kahet, etc.) give 8 tokens.
Special mission world quests give 8 tokens (2x per week).
11.0 world bosses give 8 tokens.
Queen Ansurek gives 15 tokens.
PvP weekly quests for conquest points give 15 tokens.
Honor, War Mode, and Brawl weekly quests give 8 tokens.
The intent behind this is that everyone should only play the type of content that they enjoy, and still be able to earn enough tokens to unlock everything. This should be achieved with these changes. So if one puts in the effort, starting Wednesday, you can easily collect 100 Bronze Dragon Celebration tokens per week and rapidly unlock many things. If you don’t feel like farming tokens right now, you can perfectly use the time to level a few characters. Currently, a bonus of up to 85% XP is possible.

With Vessel of Hatred, Diablo 4 has once again tinkered with crafting and items. With one change, you can now counteract a few unfortunate attempts that could make a strong item practically useless. The idea is good, but players are still annoyed: Harden is still the biggest problem in the game.
To get the most out of it, high-tier players want to strengthen and continually improve the right values. However, this is tied to luck.
If that doesn’t work and the wrong values are strengthened, the item is considered “bricked” or “destroyed” by the players: It offers no improvement for the current build.

This scroll is a consumable item. You can only use it once per item and it is consumed in the process. So you double your chances for the right rolls for your items.
Although the idea was initially well received, the scroll now causes additional frustration. Because if you get unlucky twice, players lose the motivation.
A user shares on Reddit his opinion about the scroll. He writes: Harden is still the biggest problem in the game. While trying to harden a strong item with a large affix, he “bricked” it.
To save the item, he then used a scroll – only to be unlucky again in hardening. The user writes: “I was looking forward to playing later. Now I don’t even have the motivation to log in.”
Thousands of fans agree with this opinion, and hundreds comment. Players discuss why there is even such a limitation on hardening and why it can’t be completely lifted. RNG has no place in crafting anyway.
Baldur’s Gate 3 lets you mix and match classes as you please. One player apparently didn’t want companions in the game and has come up with a build that allows you to go solo perfectly.
Where does the build come from? The solo build was published by the TikTok channel squarefiregaming. The channel calls the build The Multiclass of Madness!!!. In total, the build requires six levels and four different classes.
Why exactly squarefiregaming needs a build for a solo run is neither explained in the video nor in the description. Apparently, they don’t want to have companions on their adventures around Baldur’s Gate. If you feel the same way, you can simply leave them standing in camp with this build.

Hidden and from the shadows – But don’t get detected
What kind of build is this? The build primarily focuses on ensuring that your enemies do not detect you: Two of the four classes are designed so that you will not be discovered. One is there to give you more hit points and enable ranged attacks.
You can deal real damage with the rogue: the boosted sneak attack from the combo is your best attack. This way, you are also tuned to stay as hidden as possible and hide again quickly and easily – the monk and warlock help with this.
How do you build this? The ultimate solo build is a complex multiclass build. Below you can read which classes you should take at which level:

Fighting style: Archery

this gives you the feature that enemies are afraid of you when you land a critical hit
Level 3: Warlock
Hex for increased damage
Devil’s Sight to see in the dark
One with the Shadows
Level 4: Rogue
for sneak attack, which should be used every round
take Sleight of Hand
take Stealth
Level 4 to 6: Monk
Way of the Shadow
Shadow Arts: Hide
Shadow Arts: Darkness
Shadow Arts: Darkvision
take Deflect Missiles at level 3
Now you are perfectly leveled to face your enemies alone, ambushing them one by one while staying as hidden as possible. If you want to make the most of the build, equip yourself with light or medium armor. Heavy armor gives you disadvantage on the crucial stealth for the build.

Tips for a Perfect Start in EA FC 25 – Ultimate Team
Patri Guijarro
For just 18,000 coins, you get a midfielder who has pretty much everything that is important for the CM position. Guijarro offers 4 stars for skill moves and weak foot, is fast, has solid shooting stats, and outstanding dribbling and passing stats. Furthermore, she has very good defensive qualities and can even keep up physically.
So it is an ideal card for the playmaker role. She can create danger upfront and even help secure defensively at the back.
Lionel Messi
It’s hard to believe that Messi appears on this list, but the Argentine legend currently costs only about 19,000 coins in FC 25 Ultimate Team. And you should definitely invest that to bring Messi into your team. Because if you are looking for an offensive whirlwind who can dribble past defenders and make the final pass, then Messi is just the right player for you.
When you say Messi, someone will quickly say Ronaldo. And that’s exactly what we are doing now. Because Cristiano Ronaldo may have received a decent downgrade in FC 25, but that doesn’t mean the superstar is bad. On the contrary: his gold card, which currently costs about 12,000 coins, is still quite good.
Especially if you are looking for a striker who positions himself well and conscientiously scores goals. Although the card has some weaknesses such as clumsy dribbling, low speed, and poor link-up with other cards. But our author Thomas Dummer tested Ronaldo and extensively reveals to you why he also deserves a chance from you.
Good arguments for Ronaldo are: He has a golden playstyle for power shots, a playstyle for outside foot shots, a strong finishing ability, is particularly strong in headers from crosses and set pieces, and can perform strong tricks with 5-star special moves.
Jack Butland
If you are looking for a stable keeper for your team who can keep your goal clean and shine with saves, then Jack Butland could be the bargain you have been waiting for. For the Englishman, his enormous height of 1.96 meters and his two best playstyles for goalkeepers, “Close” and “Fingertips” are in his favor.
So give him a try. For 11,000 coins, you certainly can’t go wrong.
Phil Foden is particularly a strong and affordable card for your offense at the beginning. The Englishman can play virtually any offensive position. But especially in the RF position, Foden is effective, mainly due to his player role as a striker professional++.
If you deploy him there, you get a fast, dribbling strong player who cuts inside and can search for the shot with his strong shooting. Current cost: about 20,000 coins.
Micky van de Ven
With Micky Van De Ven, you get an extremely strong meta defender who brings everything important. He is very fast, physically strong, 1.93 meters tall, and has very good defensive stats. Van De Ven should be able to stop opposing attackers without any problems. However, you should avoid making runs forward with the Dutchman, as shooting and heading are not his strengths.
How do you like the bargains on this list? Do you have any other strong cards under 20,000 coins that we haven’t mentioned here? And if you are still looking for players and want to know which SBC cards could be worthwhile for your team right now, then check this out: EA FC 25 SBC: 5 popular Squad Building Challenges for Ultimate Team

In a video message to the fans, Game Director Jonathan Rogers announced the postponement of the early access launch of Path of Exile 2. MeinMMO summarizes the details for you.
What is the reason for the delay? Game Director Jonathan Rogers explains on YouTube:
In Path of Exile 2, all microtransactions from the predecessor Path of Exile that you have paid for should be available to you. For this, the account systems of PoE and PoE 2 needed to be connected, not just on PC, but also for consoles.
To accomplish this, various new systems needed to be developed and it had to be ensured that all the old account data is compatible. However, various “types of demons” were encountered in the database that needed to be dealt with first.
There were several accounts with the same name, the same email address, or the same Steam ID. All of this should not even exist.
Such discrepancies and more must be absolutely resolved to ensure that no one loses purchased content or encounters problems with their account.
Furthermore, the team wants to ensure that the new systems run smoothly when the expected influx of players arrives at the early access launch.
Jonathan Rogers explains that they could have held to the November 15, 2024 date if necessary, but that would have only come at the cost of bugs.
Path of Exile 2 will also be released for consoles, featuring couch co-op:

“Now I have to postpone my wedding”
How is the community reacting to the announcement? While Jonathan Rogers apologizes several times in the video for the delay and takes full responsibility for this decision, many players react with understanding or humor to the new date.
steveskeet 1 writes on YouTube: “I am getting married in December and now have to postpone my wedding. How do I explain this to her, Jonathan Rogers?”
daviddingwall4268 appreciates the openness (via YouTube): “Transparent, open, taking responsibility and apologizing. The four horsemen of the Gigachads.”
megaalphavulcan8035 recalls (via YouTube): “Every time GGG has delayed something, the release has been spectacular, so this is more promising than anything else.”
swoledabeast tips his hat on Reddit: “The man took full responsibility for the situation and provided a very convincing explanation. This might be the greatest transparency I have ever witnessed in my life from a video game company.”
Birger_Jarl writes on Reddit: “It takes time to develop perfection. I have been waiting since 2019, so I can wait another 3 weeks.”
What do I need to know about Path of Exile 2? The hack and slash adventure from Grinding Gear Games is the sequel to the 2013 Path of Exile and was first presented in November 2015. It was initially said that a beta for everyone would take place in June 2024. However, this plan has been discarded.
The monetization of the free-to-play game is supposed to be just as fair as in the first part, with an in-game shop for cosmetic offers and conveniences like more inventory space. The developers promise a story campaign for part 2 that should keep you engaged for about 40 to 50 hours.
Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, is known for naming characters and attacks after real objects and people. This is also true for the Kamehameha, one of the first attacks Son Goku learns from his master Muten Roshi.
Where does the name of the attack come from? Kamehameha is a longer term made up of several words. The words have meanings in Japanese that correspond to the attack:
Kame means turtle and refers to the Lord of Turtles, Muten Roshi, who invented the attack.
Hame comes from Hametsu and means destruction. It describes quite accurately what the attack does.
Ha can be translated as wave, indicating the energy form of the attack.
But the attack is not just a string of words; it is also the name of a real person. In Dragon Ball: Super Exciting Guide, it was explained where the name really comes from. Akira Toriyama thought about a name for the “Ha” attack and asked his wife, Nachi Mikami, for a suitable name.
She came up with the idea of naming the attack after the first king of Hawaii. Kamehameha the First actually has an unusually long name, but his title was easy for Toriyama’s wife to remember.
The last anime Toriyama worked on is Dragon Ball Daima. It is currently streaming on several services:

Toriyama has a penchant for special names in Dragon Ball
Are other names also inspired by real people? Toriyama is known for drawing inspiration for the names of his characters from real objects:
Bulma’s family is named after underwear. They have names that translate to slip, tights, swim trunks, or bra.
Many of the Saiyans are named after vegetables. For example, Son Goku’s real name is Kakarot, which stems from carrot.
Son Goku’s family is also named after food. Son Gohan comes from rice, Pan from bread. Only Son Goten does not correspond to any food.
The Ginyu Force is named after dairy products like butter, cream, and cheese.
Even in Dragon Ball Daima, one of his last projects, Toriyama was inspired by spells for the names. The ruling demons are indeed derived from spells like “Abra Kadabra” or “Open Sesame”.
The Alpha 2 of Ashes of Creation has officially launched and more players than ever are flocking to the MMORPG’s servers. And the best part: testers can freely report on their experiences.
What do I need to know about Alpha 2? While Ashes of Creation was quite a patchwork during the first alpha testing phase, since October 25, 2024, it is finally possible to test the MMORPG with all its basic functions and systems such as quests, nodes, world bosses, open-world PvP, crafting, mounts, and caravans.
This only applies if you have purchased certain Kickstarter or pre-order packages for Ashes of Creation or obtained access through other means. Further waves of players are planned for the following dates:
November 8, 2024: All purchasers of a First-Wave Bundle may enter Alpha 2
December 20, 2024: All purchasers of a Second-Wave Bundle may enter Alpha 2
May 1, 2025: All purchasers of a Third-Wave Bundle may enter Alpha 2

Alpha testers are divided
How was the launch of Alpha 2? Quite mixed, actually. Initially, the developers had to slightly postpone the launch time of Alpha 2 due to some unexpected bugs (via X). Then targeted DDoS attacks on the game and web services of Ashes of Creation followed after the launch. Consequently, the servers had to be taken offline for a while (via Reddit).
Despite these launch difficulties, various testers reported spending 20 or more hours in Verra over the weekend, allowing them to explore the current version of the major MMORPG hope extensively.
How does the community rate Alpha 2? The varying first impressions of the testers are evident in the threads from SnooTigers4611 and Hopeful_Impression_1, both of whom describe themselves as casual players.
Hopeful_Impression_1 explains in his extensive post on Reddit that despite various alpha quirks (crashes, graphical errors, bugs) and long wait times, he is already having a lot of fun with Ashes of Creation. It is “grindy in the best possible way” and focuses wonderfully on social interactions with a lot of content.
After Tibia, Knight Online, and Perfect World, AoC has everything the next MMORPG needs to keep him engaged for more than ten years – in his current assessment.
At the start of Alpha 2, there was a developer’s Let’s Play:

In the also extensive thread on Reddit by SnooTigers4611, there is little praise: The music is fantastic, the terrain of the world is well designed, the battles are fun enough, and the visual animations and effects are quite nice.
The list of criticism or points that he believes need urgent improvement is significantly longer:
The pathfinding of mobs and readability in battles can be improved. Dodging does not work correctly. For example, enemy melee attacks are said to hit even from ten meters away.
The map, despite its nice design, is “miserable” and not fun to use.
The chat system is “completely useless” in its current state.
There is supposed to be no player guidance through quests, and his group apparently is stuck at level 7/8 because there is supposed to be no indication of where they should go next.
In Ashes of Creation, there is currently so little story and lore that the world feels disappointingly generic.
With quest mobs, players compete with each other, making it hard to make progress in kill quests.
The open-world PvP is currently very frustrating: A player reportedly activated PvP and had his mount killed. This forced him to run through the game world on foot for ten minutes. When he tried to defend himself, he was penalized by the corruption debuff. He could apparently only get rid of the effect through the death of his character, although the tooltip says otherwise.
Is there any more feedback? Players are currently discussing their experiences from Alpha 2 in various threads:
Elegang-Ad-6797 writes on Reddit: “There is still a long way to go before the game meets the standards set by the team, but I trust they will make it. […] The fun I had in the game made me forget that I even had to wait in line.”
VOX-OPS explains on Reddit: “I spent almost 20 hours of the last 48 hours on this game. I haven’t played a game this much in 6 years; it’s crazy that I enjoy this game in its current state more than full-fledged games.”
deanusMachinus adds regarding mob tagging (via Reddit): “Hopefully, the tagging of mobs will be updated. The nameplate doesn’t gray out, so you don’t know who hit first, which is frustrating.”
What else do I need to know about Ashes of Creation? Ashes of Creation is a sandbox MMORPG set in a fantasy environment, played in a vast open world. You fight against world bosses and compete against each other in PvP. Additionally, there will be a system where you level areas, improve towns, and change parts of the game world – the so-called “nodes.” Development of the MMORPG began back in 2015.

Not only the cinema is feeling the impact of streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Disney Plus. It is also causing changes in our homes.
Which room is disappearing? According to trends indicated by older surveys from the National Association of Home Builders in the USA, traditional dining rooms or even clearly separated dining areas are becoming less popular. Once, almost every apartment had a space where people would eat together.
Nowadays, limited living space is preferred to be used differently, and streaming through services like Netflix, Disney+, or Amazon Prime supports this development. The Atlantic also reports on this, featuring Stephen Smith, the director of the Center for Building in North America:
It’s not that [they] don’t want dining rooms. It’s that they really want something else, and that takes space.

The Sofa as the Centerpiece
What is increasingly taking up space in apartments and houses? Generally, according to surveys like those from the National Association of Home Builders, the desire for combined living/dining/kitchen areas is increasing. Instead of nested configurations of hallways and rooms, more and more people prefer large spaces that serve multiple purposes. Functional divisions use shelves or low walls.
More extensive sofa areas or even niche-divided entertainment zones are now often taking the place of former dining rooms. They serve as the social center of the apartment, where meals are sometimes even eaten. Streaming ensures optimal entertainment programming at any time of day and for any meal.
According to the Federal Statistical Office, the number of Netflix subscribers, for example, increased more than 5,000 times between 2001 and 2023. Last year, there were about 260 million.
What applies to houses affects apartments in multi-family buildings even more: According to data from the United States Census Bureau, the number of people living alone in the USA tripled between 1940 and 2020. And as housing becomes more expensive, dining rooms are increasingly simply being replaced by multifunctional spaces, as Stephen Smith explains to The Atlantic. He also points to US building codes that make a dining room impossible for many types of multi-family homes.
Note on Methodology: All the data compiled here represent logical correlations. The developments are not necessarily causative, but together they create a clear picture of changing habits and expectations regarding living.
Over the weekend, the final of the “PRM Cup 2024” of the German Prime League in League of Legends was played. The team of leading German Twitch streamers for LoL, NNO, faced off against the Unicorns of Love. A decision against the streamer team is now being sharply criticized.
What a match it was? The “PRM Cup 2024” is the last tournament in German LoL of the year. After that, the teams reorganize.
32 teams are participating in the event. The tournament began on September 30th – the final took place on October 25th.
In the final, NNO faced off against the Unicorns of Love – Sexy Edition.
Agurin is one of the owners of NNO:

Team NNO is on the winning path, but the match is annulled after a pause
What was the crucial moment? The teams played the first two matches evenly at 1-1.
In match 3, NNO was ahead after 17 minutes with a substantial gold lead, and it looked like they could turn the match in their favor after a won teamfight.
But then a pause was ordered because apparently a game-changing bug had occurred to the disadvantage of the Unicorns of Love.
The game paused for an hour, and ultimately, it was decided that the match would not count and would be annulled. A “remake” was ordered.
This was the impact of the decision: NNO’s lead was gone, the new draft was significantly more advantageous for Unicorns of Love, and they could win game 3.
The players of NNO appeared annoyed after the pause and the decision and seemed to play unfocused.
As a result, NNO managed a comeback in game 4, but game 5 was again won by the Unicorns of Love, who secured the cup.
Prime League explains controversial decision in a statement
Why was this decision made? The Prime League explained in a statement (via x):
The bug that led to the annulment of match 3 was that Sion’s ultimate did not trigger an audible effect. Normally, a global sound is played to alert all players: Sion has activated his ultimate, is immune to crowd control, and is moving faster.
Normally, the Prime League states, a Chronobreak should have been ordered here, meaning rewinding the match to the point when the bug occurred. However, there was no one from Riot available who could perform such a Chronobreak; therefore, the entire match had to be replayed.
NNO filed an appeal against the decision, arguing that the bug had occurred earlier and must have been known to the Unicorns. However, no evidence was found that the Unicorns had noticed the Sion bug beforehand. Therefore, the appeal was rejected.
They took a lot of time for the decision, which can also be seen in the long pause in the game.
Twitch streamers were furious during the match
How did the streamers react during the match? Team NNO includes 5 of the leading German Twitch streamers. They were live on Twitch during the pause in the match and were furious.
They were upset about the decision to take away their clear advantage over such a triviality. They called it a scandalous ruling and an undignified end for their team, as the match was the last game for NNO Prime.

Streamer calms down after the match: Excitement changes nothing
How did they react after the match? The largest German Twitch streamer for LoL, Frederick “NoWay” Hinteregger, has calmed down significantly by now. He is now trying to calm the heated passions and says he was also emotional, but he wants to ask the fans not to verbally attack either the Prime League or the Unicorns of Love now.
It wouldn’t change anything about the situation. The wave of hate is now unnecessary.
Overall, the mood among the comments is heated. Especially fans of NNO say that the Prime League has embarrassed itself here.
That a remake was ordered because the warranted Chronobreak was not technically possible is received very poorly.

Streamers were live berating their opponents, Unicorns of Love: They should have noticed the bug with Sion much earlier and should have saved their “protest” for the case of losing a teamfight, only to express it then. That is just unsportsmanlike.
The Prime League is already having a hard time at the moment. Significant upheaval is apparently on the horizon for 2025, which will result in a significant decrease in players’ salaries and a drop in the competitive level. Teams are already adjusting to the changed situation: In LoL, HandOfBlood’s team is now replacing a key player with a Twitch streamer (33)
