Developers of an Anime RPG Talked to Players, Nearly Completely Remove a Game Mode After Feedback

Nathalie Schnee Nathalie Schnee Reading time 3 minutes

The developers of Zenless Zone Zero discussed player feedback regarding the TV mode in an interview, which is now set to be widely removed as a result.

What was the feedback? In an interview on YouTube, developer “Y” spoke about the planned changes for Zenless Zone Zero. The developers created surveys and even reached out by phone to ask players for their opinions on the TV mode. It became clear what players disliked about the mode:

  • The animations of the TV mode take too long
  • The mode generally takes up too much time
  • It interrupts the normal flow of battle
  • The TV mode appears too often in the beginning of the game

Zenless Zone Zero has much action to offer as well:

What will change?

Will there be no more TV mode? The developers have removed the TV mode from the main story in the new update 1.2. In the future, the main story and other important missions are also expected to do without the TV mode. However, the mode will not completely disappear. It can still be found in other assignments.

Developer Y explained in the interview:

But that doesn’t mean we will completely forgo the TV mode in the future. We will continue to incorporate positive feedback from the past.

[…] Although there is considerable negative feedback in the community, we have also seen some players who really like the TV mode. We certainly won’t overhaul everything all at once. First and foremost, we will comprehensively address some issues with the design and implementation of the mode and make improvements.

Zenless Zone Zero developer Y via YouTube.com

What improvements can we expect? With the 1.2 update, a new feature called “Fairy Auto-Exploration Mode” was added. Once the player has completed an assignment for the first time, they can send the fairy to collect the missing rewards for them. This is intended to relieve players of the stress of having to fight through the TV mode to painstakingly search for all rewards themselves.

TV mode sparks discussions

Is the mode really that unpopular? There are ongoing discussions online about the TV mode. It stands out and makes the game unique. Comments on social networks indicate that players in Europe and the USA tend to appreciate the TV mode rather than condemn it. The negative feedback appears to come primarily from players in China:

  • immowang attempts to clarify (via YouTube): “As a Chinese player, I can say that the TV mode received a lot of negative feedback mainly in China.”
  • A user writes (via Reddit): “I understand that some people don’t like it, but this mode makes Zenless Zone Zero totally unique compared to the other games from Hoyo in my opinion. I feel like it gets too much unnecessary hate, that has to stop.”
  • niyaak28 requests (via YouTube): “Please do not lose your identity. The TV mode should be improved, not removed.”
  • clownbescary213, however, speaks out against the mode (via Reddit): “In my opinion, the biggest problem with the TV mode is that the flow is repeatedly interrupted by annoying and unnecessary stuff, which interrupts the exploration.”

How does MeinMMO author Nathalie Schnee evaluate the changes? Personally, I am very happy that the mode is being removed from the main story. It simply wasted my time and nerves. Now I can fully focus on the story without having to click through a thousand screens.

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 3 minutes

On October 8, Season 6 of Diablo 4 starts, and at the same time the first expansion “Vessel of Hatred” is released. We summarize here on MeinMMO which contents are available for free and which you need to pay for.

With Season 6 and Vessel of Hatred, Diablo 4 gets a ton of new features. Some of these you can only use if you purchase an edition of the expansion, others are available to all players. The update will also completely change core mechanics in Diablo 4 that will apply to all players.

Below we list the contents that you will receive for free in October and the contents for which you need to acquire Vessel of Hatred. Since the release is just around the corner in two weeks, there may be some features added here and there – such as new dungeons or items. We will update the article accordingly.

New contents that you get for free

What contents do I get for free? If you already own an edition of Diablo 4 on PC or your console, you will gain access to various new contents with Season 6 and Vessel of Hatred. There will also be some adjustments to the base game. Diablo chief Rod Fergusson said: What Season 4 was for loot, Season 6 is for progress.

Which seasonal features will come into the game with Season 6 is still unclear. Blizzard has not yet revealed the season theme. If you played the PTR and paid close attention, you might have already seen it.

These contents are available to all players of Diablo 4:

There are four standard and four torment difficulty levels in Diablo 4.

Contents that you can only get with a purchase of “Vessel of Hatred”

For which contents do I have to pay? In addition to the contents that you get “for free” – that is, if you already own Diablo 4 – there is also content that you can only access if you purchase the expansion:

To unlock the “Skip” feature for the campaign of Vessel of Hatred, you must first complete the campaign. Some players reacted annoyed, others said: It makes sense.

This doesn’t have to mean anything, as Blizzard has been paying attention for several months to implement player feedback as satisfactorily as possible. In a livestream, the developers want to share more about the upcoming update on October 2.

What do fans say about the update? Under the update post on X, many fans have reacted. Most are struggling with delays in the menu and wish for improvements in this regard. Even the top comment from user Ryan Haber calls for this change. (via X)

The first update is therefore relatively small for now. Once the game officially releases on September 27, larger adjustments are certainly to follow. Even without an update, MeinMMO author Thomas Dummer had a lot of fun during his first hours with the new part of the football simulation: After 30 games in FC 25, I feel like a master coach, because my players move like world stars.

Monster Hunter Wilds showcases the most important monster in the game – And it shouldn’t exist anymore

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

In a new trailer, Capcom not only revealed the release date of Monster Hunter Wilds but also introduced the most important monster in the game. 

Which monster would that be? The flagship monster of Monster Hunter Wilds is Arkveld. The Hunter’s Commission also refers to it as “The White Wraith,” which can be translated as “The White Spirit” – and for good reason.

You can take a first look at the monster in this trailer:

Start video
Monster Hunter Wilds: New Trailer Reveals Release Date

What’s in a name? On the one hand, there is of course the color of the monster, which is in a pale gray-white. Additionally, the White Wraith is a little-explored species of Flying Wyvern that has long been considered extinct.

Our task as hunters will likely be to fill in the research gaps: Where did the White Wraith come from so suddenly? What is its role in the ecosystem? One of the side characters in the trailer, a boy, seems to have a personal vendetta against the monster.

New powerful monsters and a release date

Of course, we will also hunt some examples of the Arkveld – we are still playing Monster Hunter after all. In the event of a battle, we should be wary of Arkveld’s chain-like extensions, which the monster can use as weapons.

The trailer also shows Arkveld fighting other monsters, such as the aquatic Uth Duna and the Flying Wyvern Rey Dau. On monsterhunter.com, the developers reveal that both stand at the top of the food chain in their natural habitat.

  • The Uth Duna lives in the Scarlet Forest and is usually spotted during heavy rain. The monster can create a protective veil from the moisture in its environment.
  • The Rey Dau is the apex predator of the Windward Plains and can not only fly but also generate lightning. It often appears accompanied by storms.

With the Quematrice, the developers also introduced a new Brute Wyvern in the trailer. It resembles an oversized, muscular rooster and can inflict fire damage.

When will Monster Hunter Wilds be released? The action RPG is set to be released on February 28, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and for PC on Steam.

The new trailer for Diablo 4 may have already revealed the final boss, but fans are only complaining about the music

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

Diablo 4 has a new trailer for Vessel of Hatred. The trailer has all sorts of details to discover, and the fight against the final boss might have already been hinted at. However, fans are only interested in the music.

What kind of trailer is this? On October 8th, Diablo 4 will launch a new expansion called Vessel of Hatred. To coincide with this, the developers have released a new trailer meant to get players excited for the expansion.

The trailer features gameplay and story sequences as well as some boss fights. One of them might even be the fight against the final boss.

Here you can see the new trailer for Vessel of Hatred:

Start video
Diablo IV reveals the expansion Vessel of Hatred in new gameplay trailer

Final boss or not?

Which boss fight is it? The boss fight that likely represents the fight against the final boss of the expansion is the last gameplay scene in the trailer. In this scene, the character confronts a demonic tentacle wolf.

This tentacle wolf could be Mephisto, the greatest enemy of the new expansion. Mephisto, the “Lord of Hatred,” is carried in a soulstone by Neyrelle during this expansion.

She is trying to free the world from the Prime Evil for good. However, her spirit is increasingly trapped by malevolence and corrupted in the soulstone.

It is foreseeable that the plan will not succeed and that there will eventually be a fight against Mephisto. While it is not clear whether the shown boss fight is really a form of the villain, it is conceivable. It does not have to be his final form; it’s possible that the Lord of Hatred can take on many forms.

How are players reacting to the trailer? Players are only interested in one thing about the trailer, and that is the music. The new trailer for the expansion is accompanied by the song “Blood // Water” by Grandson. The rap-rock song gives the trailer a high-action atmosphere, which especially due to the scenes cut to the beat strongly reminds of Call of Duty.

Players are noticing this, and they do not like it at all. In the comments on YouTube, they express:

  • @neonsamurai writes, for example: “Why the music? Why? WHYYYY?!”
  • Also @starpark7631 really dislikes the music: “A terrible choice of music… ruined the atmosphere of the entire video”
  • @maruofficial4744 wishes for a new version of the trailer: “Please re-upload with a different soundtrack”
  • @AntExe-ey5my describes the soundtrack with a taste analogy: “Diablo and the music in this trailer go together like orange juice and toothpaste.”

Even though the music likely didn’t convince players about the new season, there is no doubt that Diablo 4 aims to attract many players again with the new expansion. This also aligns well with the developers’ plan: The head of Diablo 4 explains that Blizzard is doing everything it can to keep players “entertained” for a long time.

Rockstar wanted to make GTA 5 safer, now hackers are crippling their servers

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

Actually, Rockstar Games intended to make the servers more secure with anti-cheat software. However, the online services of GTA Online and Red Dead Redemption 2 are now suffering from outages due to DDoS attacks that are apparently being carried out in retaliation.

What kind of anti-cheat software is this? With the BattlEye anti-cheat software, Rockstar Games aimed to make it harder for cheaters in GTA Online to gain an advantage in the game. The software was introduced with update 1.69 on September 17, 2024.

GTA Online can no longer be started without the installation of the software, making it a must for players. The problem with BattlEye is that modders of the game are restricted by this software. For example, a modding community offers a mod that allows players to cheat.

Additionally, the anti-cheat system has excluded players who play on Linux. Due to these issues, the BattlEye software is controversial.

DDoS Attack Brings Servers Down

What kind of attack is this? Over the weekend, the online services of Rockstar Games suffered a DDoS attack. Botnets are flooding the authentication servers, rendering them inoperable, and players on both PC and console are affected by the consequences. There are connection problems and difficulties logging in.

Why are the servers being attacked? The group behind the attacks is allegedly protesting against the introduction of the BattlEye anti-cheat system. The consequences for players are said to be too radical, and hackers see the DDoS attack as a form of retaliation.

What happens now? The X user morsmutual_ suspects that Rockstar Games should expect more attacks. Unless the developers ramp up their defense. Some servers seem to be online again, but according to this user on X, the attackers are planning further attacks.

25-year-old pro in LoL flips out on Twitch so much that he goes to a mental health specialist

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The 25-year-old Gabriël “Bwipo” Rau is a professional in League of Legends and is about to participate in the Worlds. But he seems to be in a poor mental state. Following an appearance on Twitch, well-known experts are concerned about him. Bwipo pulled the emergency brake and went to a specialist.

This was Bwipo’s stream: The Belgian toplaner Bwipo became a champion in the U.S. in 2024 after a long dry spell. He is about to participate in the LoL Worlds and is currently streaming several matches as preparation.

However, in one stream, he seemed to completely lose control. On camera, he ranted about European professional players who could do nothing but have huge egos. They would “steal salary checks.”

His behavior was strongly criticized in the scene. Some believed that Bwipo seemed to be beside himself and might have taken too much of the ADHD drug Adderall.

Life as a LoL professional is taxing on mental health, especially after losses:

Bwipo consults with a mental health specialist

This is what Bwipo says now: After the criticism of his behavior and stream, Bwipo has spoken out again. He said that the LoL expert LS reached out to him and inquired about his well-being.

Nick “LS” De Cesare (31) is a respected coach and analyst among LoL professionals, considered a thought leader in the game.

Bwipo then contacted his mental health expert, and during their conversation, the expert apparently diagnosed him with a condition or syndrome.

Bwipo does not specify what exactly was diagnosed, only mentioning that something is not right with him, that something is going on inside him, and that he received a diagnosis.

He says he is already much calmer now and will explain in the coming days what exactly was going on with him.

He has always been controversial – for him, it is also okay if he receives negative feedback for it. Bwipo says he will work on his gameplay. He would be ashamed if he performed poorly in a professional match.

LoL professionals are under enormous, constant pressure, often struggle with their egos because they are expected to be great players to play and function flawlessly in LoL. They must not hesitate or doubt but also need to learn how to cope with the inevitable losses that come.

A man is invited to a job interview at a company. However, they have a very strange request for the interview. The applicant declines the interview, as a better option arises.

A man had applied for a job at a company. After a brief discussion over the phone, he was invited for a personal interview with the owner. But “then it got strange,” explained the applicant.

What was the request? The man, who has a degree in computer science, explained (via genbeta.com):

They called me back within ten minutes to confirm that the owner would be available for the interview and to inform me that I had to bring a half-chilled Starbucks coffee (without sugar) to the interview.

However, according to the applicant, that was not all. Furthermore, he says, “they also asked me about my nationality, the nationality of my parents, and my age.”

How did the company react to the rejection? The applicant posted two private messages about the rejection.

On the PS5, you can now play one of the biggest hits of 2024: Palworld is so cheeky that Nintendo is suing it

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

Fans have long wished for it: Palworld is coming to the PS5. The game was announced during the State of Play and is available directly on September 25 in the PlayStation Store. Despite Nintendo’s lawsuit.

During the State of Play, Sony announced many new and also already released games in a new form. The surprise hit Palworld is among the new ports to the PlayStation 5.

However, the game from developer Pocket Pair did not receive a preliminary release date on the PS5 but was launched directly in the PlayStation Store.

You can therefore buy it right away: to Palworld in the PlayStation Store. The game costs 28.99 euros. It already has over 700 ratings and an average rating of 4.93 stars.

The excitement for the “Pokémon with guns” is therefore unbroken, and this is despite the developers currently having to deal with Nintendo’s lawsuit.

To get you in the mood for the release on the PlayStation 5, you can watch our video about the latest update:

Start video
In Palworld, you can explore a new island with the Sakurajima update

Pocket Pair continues despite Nintendo’s lawsuit

Why is Nintendo suing Pocket Pair? The Pals in Palworld resemble some Pokémon too closely, and the concept of catching monsters also strongly resembles the Nintendo franchise. This has not only been noticed by players but also Nintendo itself, which is why they filed a lawsuit.

The Japanese manufacturer is suing for patent infringement and is simultaneously seeking injunction and damages.

However, not everyone stands behind the lawsuit: Some Pokémon fans find it justified that Pocket Pair takes the concept of Pokémon and improves it. After all, Nintendo has only offered its fans mediocre Pokémon games for years.

With Palworld, an idea and gameplay have come that many would have wished for from Pokémon. Furthermore, Palworld has a satirical and socially critical orientation. It plays with the idea of political incorrectness: Pals are kept like slaves and livestock, can be eaten and exploited.

Perhaps the game was released so quickly on the PS5 because the developers fear that they will soon have to discontinue Palworld.

WoW player makes fatal mistake, loses 17 years of savings in one go

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 2 minutes

If you’re not careful, you can unexpectedly burn a lot of gold in the auction house of World of Warcraft. A long-time veteran of Azeroth had to learn this the hard way.

What is this fatal mistake? A player named The_Tiddy_Fiend recently wanted to turn a pet from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game into gold in WoW – the Ethereal Soul Trader, which is summoned through the soul trader’s signal. The targeted price that other sellers of the pet were aiming for: 1.7 million gold coins.

What The_Tiddy_Fiend realized too late: Since the auction house sets the sale price according to the lowest bid, the system didn’t list the pet for 1.7 million gold, but for only 174,000 gold. Before The_Tiddy_Fiend could react, someone swooped in.

Here’s a bit of feel-good nostalgia for the auction house frustration:

Learning Through Pain

What does the mistake mean? On Reddit, The_Tiddy_Fiend shares his experience so that other WoW players do not make this mistake. According to him, he has potentially lost all his gold savings from the past 17 years of World of Warcraft.

He hopes that the lucky auction house sniper enjoys his small profit. He personally feels terrible right now and has no desire to log into the game at all.

How does the community assess the situation? Some players empathize with The_Tiddy_Fiend in their comments, while others say that the blame lies not with the auction house but with the affected individual himself.

  • 6198573 writes on Reddit: “This is how the AH has been functioning for a few years since the redesign. I also don’t understand why your offer was sniped but not the other offer for 174k. And yes, if you’re selling something worth millions, maybe triple-check your price before listing it…”
  • oceanlabxo is sure that the pet would never have sold for 1.7 million gold (via Reddit): “Look at it from the positive side. Pets are a slow market, and gold can be easily transferred to other servers. The pet is often sold for 1 million less than what you wanted. So you either lost 500k or gained 175k, depending on how you look at it.”
  • Swixx94 admits that there are now alternative sources (via Reddit): “That stinks, but I also think that no one will buy it for 1.7 million gold when Blizzard could announce a Twitch Drop at any moment that requires you to watch for 2 hours to get the pet.”
  • Fvzzyyy explains on Reddit: “This is a trick people have been using since the new auction house was introduced, and you have to be very careful. They relist their stuff at a very low price but then quickly cancel the auction to ensure someone else sells at the same price.”

Has something like this ever happened to you? Or have you, on the contrary, managed to snag a real bargain from the auction house? Share it in the comments. Many guilds also had to endure significant losses recently: If you’re missing items from the guild bank in WoW, Blizzard has some bad news.

If Nintendo listens to some fans, then the Switch 2 loses its greatest strengths

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 4 minutes

Many speculate about the Switch 2. However, MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann believes: If Nintendo listens to the calls of some fans, then the Switch loses one of its greatest strengths and the reason why people bought the Switch OLED years ago.

The Nintendo Switch is one of my regular companions in everyday life. This is one reason why I follow leaks and rumors with a watchful eye. Particularly certain wishes from fans do not really make me happy.

While some fans are calling for more power and a Switch 2 with the performance of an Xbox Series S, I want something completely different. One of the greatest strengths of the Switch is quickly forgotten.

More Power, 4K, preferably a Gaming PC or a Mini Series S

What do fans want? Those who take a look on reddit or read along in other forums will find that many players have differing opinions, but they can also agree on certain points regarding what they wish for from a Switch 2 or Switch Pro:

  • Significantly more performance, ideally 4K. Many fans are calling for this. Some fans are simply tired of playing Pokémon and the like in low resolution and 30 FPS.
  • Modern next-gen features like ray tracing, DLSS, and stable 120 FPS are also wished for by many fans.
  • Improved Joy-Cons, for example with Hall-effect switches, are also being requested by many fans.

However, for me, all these wishes overshadow a central strength of the Nintendo Switch, which is why I bought it in the first place: excellent portability and accessibility.

Start video
In Germany, there are over 400 USB sticks protruding from walls – What is the ‘Dead Drops’ project?

Steam Deck, Rog Ally, and Co – the Nintendo Switch beats them all in one aspect

I have played on numerous gaming handhelds over the past weeks and months. All devices share several common problems:

  • They are all large, heavy, and bulky, weighing more than half a kilo. The heavier they are, the quicker my hands and arms get tired.
  • With the Asus ROG Ally X being an exception, all devices have terrible battery life. Generally, after 90 to 120 minutes, it’s over.
  • No modern handheld is truly comfortable for me in the long run, which is also due to the general size of handhelds. After all, powerful hardware and the corresponding cooling must be integrated somewhere.

Even the Steam Deck, which I currently play the most, becomes too heavy for me after three or four hours. Then I switch to my PC and continue playing with a controller that weighs much less and usually does not need a charging cable.

What is the strength of the Switch? The Switch OLED, in my opinion, is almost perfect for on-the-go:

  • Very good battery life of 4.5 to 9 hours, depending on the game.
  • The Switch OLED weighs “only” 422 grams, while other handhelds weigh between 600 and 800 grams, almost double that.
  • The Nintendo Switch is also very comfortable for my large hands in the long run with slightly larger rubber grips from third parties for the Joy-Cons.

What bothers me about the wishes for the Switch 2? My biggest issue with the extra performance that many want: More performance requires more energy and produces more heat.

Nintendo would need to install stronger ventilation and a thicker battery. And I fear this would make the Switch 2 as bulky as the Steam Deck or other gaming handhelds.

And a heavy, chunky Switch 2 would lose, in my opinion, exactly the strength that defines the Switch for me: namely, that it is so light and comfortable that I can and want to really play on the go.

I really do not need another hybrid PC or another Steam Deck for Switch games.

The target audience for the Switch is not professional players

The crux with exclusive games: Of course, Nintendo aggressively focuses on exclusive titles that can only be played on Nintendo consoles. But anyone who wants high-end should not expect that from a game console that has consciously focused on families and children for years.

We do not need another device for professional players, but rather a game console that continues to target casuals and ordinary consumers, such as families and children. Anyone who wants to play AAAA titles from Ubisoft or God of War either has a powerful gaming PC, a PS5, or a Steam Deck at home. Or all of those devices.

I do not want or need another hybrid PC

Where should the goal of the Switch 2 be? I want a light, portable game console that I can pack in my backpack, that provides hours of battery life, and does not become uncomfortable for me even after several hours. And that is exactly what the Switch offers and what I would also wish for from the next generation of Nintendo.

  • I do not need a high-end device with 4K graphics, ray tracing, or an oversized display.
  • I’m fine as long as the frame rates do not drop in every city in the next Pokémon game. I would also love Hall-effect switches in the Joy-Cons 2.0.
  • But I do not want a third or fourth bloated hybrid PC lying on my desk.
  • I want an accessible console that I can still hand to children and that is not overwhelmed by any social features.
  • I want a console that is light and small, which I can quickly shove into my travel luggage. The reason I bought the Switch in the first place.
  • Additionally: Who among you would buy the Nintendo Switch 2 if it suddenly cost 800 euros like the PS5 Pro?

And I say this as someone who has underestimated the Nintendo Switch for years and has now become an enthusiastic fan of the console. You can read why the Switch was my purchase of the year in 2022 on MeinMMO: I laughed at it – Now the Nintendo Switch is my purchase of the year 2022

The standard version of the game costs 69.99 Euros on Steam, while on Xbox and PlayStation 5 you have to expect nearly 80 Euros.

What do I need to know about Monster Hunter Wilds? The new part of the iconic Monster Hunter series is only the second offshoot since Monster Hunter Worlds from 2018 that is released for the most powerful platforms.

You can expect the typical series experience of hunting dangerous creatures to earn materials you need to continually upgrade your hunter – allowing you to face even more formidable beasts.

The hunt will lead you into a wild and previously unexplored area that is dynamically changing and where native monsters are also fighting for scarce resources. Monster Hunter Wilds is already extremely sought after on Steam – only one game has more anticipation among PC players.

A new horror game on Steam lets us play as a gamer being haunted by a monster at home

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

The premise of BrokenLore: Don’t Watch sounds very promising – let’s hope that the finished game on Steam will be just as good.

What kind of game is it? BrokenLore: Don’t Watch is a psychological horror game by the Japanese developer and publisher Serafini Productions. It is one of several games with the name BrokenLore, none of which have been released yet.

You can already add BrokenLore: Don’t Watch to your wishlist on Steam, but the game doesn’t have a release date yet. In a trailer, we stomp through Shinji’s apartment, which feels creepy enough even without monsters – but there is one.

You can watch the trailer here:

Start video
BrokenLore: Don’t Watch – The official trailer for the new horror game on Steam

Alone in an apartment in Tokyo

What do we know about the game? We play as Shinji, a young hikikomori who is trapped in his small apartment in Tokyo. Financial difficulties and a lack of understanding from his family have driven him into isolation; his only connection to the outside world is a laptop.

Who or what are hikikomori?

Hikikomori is a term for individuals who “voluntarily” isolate themselves from the outside world. The term originates from Japan, where the phenomenon is widespread. You can learn more about it at lmu.de.

Poor grades in school, high expectations, or unemployment can be reasons why these individuals choose isolation. It is a serious problem with sometimes severe psychological consequences for those affected.

Most of the time, Shinji spends playing video games, but his mental state continues to deteriorate until even his home is no longer safe. A malevolent being is haunting him there, just waiting to strike.

BrokenLore: Don’t Watch is not the first game by this developer dealing with such a serious theme. For instance, BrokenLore: Follow aims to address bullying. However, so far, only a free demo on Steam is available to play. So if you want to get a first impression of the developers’ work, you could start there.

Whoever chooses the wrong guild in Throne and Liberty will never see the best content in the MMORPG on Steam and PS5

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Throne and Liberty on Steam and PS5, guilds are much more important than they initially appear. However, those who choose the wrong guild will ultimately never see the best content.

Why are guilds so important? In the new MMORPG Throne and Liberty, which launches on October 1, 2024, on Steam and PS5, guilds are even more important than in other MMORPGs.

While guilds in other games mainly serve as a merger of like-minded individuals and are theoretically optional, the coolest content in Throne and Liberty is hidden behind guilds.

There will be a first glimpse of the sieges at the launch event:

Start video
Throne and Liberty: Trailer presents the launch event ‘Siege the Day’

Only the best guild ascends the throne

What content is hidden behind guilds? In Throne and Liberty, there are a variety of activities that are easier as a guild. Some can only be done as a guild. One such activity involves combat and the so-called Boonstones and Riftstones. Those who possess them receive rewards and bonuses.

These stones can be brought under the control of guilds by dueling another guild for them. However, these massive PvP battles are not fought by all guilds.

Only the guild with the highest rank can challenge the current owner to gain control of the stone for their own guild. Smaller guilds will therefore never get a turn, as the ranking of guilds is primarily based on the combined activities of all members.

Is there anything else for which a guild is needed? Yes, not just a guild, but a whole alliance. The battle for the throne in Throne and Liberty is probably the main highlight of the game. In an epic battle, up to 280 defenders of the throne, all from guilds of the same alliance, fight against an attacking alliance.

The great PvP, with up to 560 players, takes place every two weeks and is one of the most epic experiences in the entire MMORPG genre. To participate, your guild must team up with three other guilds to form an alliance.

The battle is not just about glory and honor, but also about Lucent, the premium currency that goes to the rulers of the castle through tax revenues. Therefore, it can be very worthwhile for free players to join an appropriate guild.

Where can I find such a guild? The best place to find a guild for Throne and Liberty is the official Discord server of the developers. There you can search for a guild in the “recruitment” forum. You can filter guilds that meet your criteria using the tags at the top of the forum.

Small guilds clearly have the disadvantage in Throne and Liberty. If you start the game with friends, it is probably best to join a large guild to truly experience everything the game has to offer. To ensure you are victorious in the large PvP battles, you can find the best weapons and classes in our tier list: Throne and Liberty: Tier List for the best classes and weapons in raids, dungeons, and PvP

Twitch streamer was pranked by a viewer when his channel was small and insignificant – 230,000 followers later he gets his revenge

Sarah Sarah Reading time 2 minutes

In a recent stream, the Twitch streamer Metashi12 recounts an incident from his early days when he was tricked by a viewer and what consequences he has drawn now.

Who is the streamer? Metashi12 has been active on Twitch since at least 2016 and has built a loyal, steadily growing fan base over the years. In the last three months, an average of more than 3,500 viewers tuned into his streams (via Twitchtracker).

He gained particular fame through his streams of the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft, which he has impressively showcased for 6,500 hours on his channel.

Although WoW is the main content of the streamer, the game has often been declared dead:

Start video
3 times World of Warcraft was declared dead

Even though Metashi12 is now a successful streamer on Twitch, he also had to start small. In a recent stream he talks about the challenges of his beginnings and reports how he was tricked by a viewer in the early phase of his career.

“That was quite a hefty amount”

What did the beginnings look like? Metashi12 speaks about the time when his streams were only followed by about ten viewers on average. According to Sullygnome, this would have been around 2017, so seven to eight years ago. At that time, he had around 5,000 followers.

He explains that there were no gift subs or similar sources of income on Twitch back then, as are common today. Direct donations were the main source of income at that time. But Metashi12 wanted more and looked for creative ways to offer a subscription model similar to that of Twitch partners.

He tells how he eventually discovered a third-party platform where viewers could subscribe. According to his statement, he called these subscriptions “Dream-Subs” and charged 50 euros per month for them. In return, the viewers could choose a game that he then had to play for three hours on stream. “That was quite a hefty amount,” Metashi12 recounts. In fact, there was one viewer who took advantage of this offer.

What compensation did the streamer provide? About this viewer, Metashi12 says: “He made me play really weird stuff. A Playstation 1 game that I had to play with an emulator. It was called Big Rigs. And then he made me play Need for Speed on a Nintendo DS emulator.”

Although he describes the games as very entertaining in the stream, the situation took an unexpected turn: The viewer subsequently withdrew the money. This means that Metashi12 streamed the games as promised but ended up not getting any money for it.

Viewer returns to his streams after all these years

What happened now? About three months ago, that same viewer returned to Metashi12’s stream, now that the streamer is significantly more successful. The viewer wrote in the chat and asked if Metashi12 still remembered him. Metashi confirmed this and immediately took action: The viewer was permanently banned from his channel.

What does it mean to receive a permanent ban? A ban on Twitch means that a user no longer has access to the channel. They cannot watch the stream, write in the chat, or interact with the channel in any other way.

While in this case a viewer tricked the streamer out of his money, there are also examples where it goes the other way around. The English streamer “ItsSlikeR” has taken his viewers and fellow content creators for large sums of money with emotional stories.

408 attempts for grave robbers, but is that just one mount of 1,000 that a player has after 20 years of WoW

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 2 minutes

Currently, there are 1,210 mounts in World of Warcraft. A passionate collector from Azeroth has now mastered the milestone of 1,000 riding and flying mounts. MeinMMO editor Karsten Scholz comes to …

How many mounts do you have, Karsten? Well, my playtime in WoW may span several years, but I am not exactly known as an ambitious collector. Across the entire account, I only have 168, of which I have only regularly used a handful for years (notably the wonderful rogue class mount from Legion).

Okay, what about the true mount collector? That would be the user lasko_leaf_blower, who proudly presented on Reddit that he recently reached the milestone of 1,000 mounts on his WoW account. By the way, the website that beautifully displays this can be found at dataforazeroth.com.

The War Within also brought many new mounts, but the focus in the new WoW expansion is rather on the story surrounding the World Soul saga for many Warcraft fans:

Start video
Alleria: Light and Shadows – WoW Cinematic to The War Within

It has been a long, long road and no one said it would be easy

How did the player achieve this milestone? On Reddit, lasko_leaf_blower reflects on his passion for collecting virtual means of transportation. His first mount was the Striped Nightsaber, which his night elf could barely afford at level 40 twenty years ago (at least that was the case for me, but on the right faction side “cough”).

The number 1,000 came from the Demon Hunter quest “A devilishly good find” which required obtaining the Vengeful Demon Screamer. However, the most time was spent on the Tomb Stalker, as he had to send King Dazar to the floor in mythic King’s Rest 408 times.

Some of his favorites include:

  • the Swift Zulian Tiger from Zul’Gurub
  • the Sailing Spellscroll from the Timewalking achievement “The Tour de Tower”
  • the Swift Spectral Tiger from the WoW Trading Card Game
  • the Spotted Dragon from the WoW Trading Card Game
  • the Island Thunder Scale from the Island Expeditions

How is the community reacting to the success? They are celebrating the milestone under the Reddit post.

  • ScaredInitial writes (via Reddit): “Congratulations! That’s amazing! I was a mount farmer until WoD, then I stopped caring about collections. I recently came back and started farming again (mainly to get over 500 mounts, 1k mounts are just insane).”
  • TryPokingIt wonders on Reddit: “Congratulations! It’s really a shame there aren’t any rewards for this number. You deserve it! There’s a pet reward for 1,800 pets, which is an unusual number, but nothing for 1,000 mounts?”
  • StardustJess has learned something from the success (via Reddit): “That’s really cool! I had no idea there were that many mounts – LOL.”
  • nagoom apparently had a lot of luck (via Reddit): “I’m at 986. I started mount farming only in season 1 of Shadowlands (started playing at the end of BfA). I’m basically done with collecting mounts, I’m just picking what I like instead of getting one more every time.”

Where does your mount counter currently stand? And how long have you been playing WoW to get to that number? Share it in the comments! Also impressive was this achievement from the community in July 2024: WoW character level 70 in under 30 minutes – This is how crazy the speed level record is

Player builds city from Baldur’s Gate 3 in modern simulation on Steam – “Impressive work”

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Baldur’s Gate 3, players can expect the big city of Baldur’s Gate in Chapter 3. One player has now set out to recreate the city in a simulation.

What kind of simulation is this? The player Impossible_Active271 enjoys playing Baldur’s Gate 3 just as much as Cities: Skylines. In the immensely popular city-building simulation, creative minds can create and manage their dream cities.

While famous streamers like Trymacs tend to struggle with city-building simulations, others can create entire metropolises in the simulation. The player Impossible_Active271 has now dedicated himself to Baldur’s Gate, the namesake city of what is probably the best game of 2023.

Here you can see how you can cast two spells in one go:

Baldur’s Gate 3: Cast two spells in one go

From roads to highways, from taverns to bars

How did he recreate Baldur’s Gate? Cities: Skylines does not have an option to build medieval buildings, so the player simply brings the city into the modern age.

Roads become highways, taverns become bars, towers become skyscrapers, and even the statue in the middle of the city finds its own version in Cities: Skylines.

The player has also thought of a harbor. Just like in the Middle Ages, a lot of trade takes place in the modern version of Baldur’s Gate. However, the old docks have been slightly upgraded and now feature not only warehouses but also silos for the goods coming into the city.

Here you can see the recreation:

Blackarm777 imagines on Reddit how the characters from the game would cope nowadays: “Now I can only think about how Gortash and Orin would get stuck in traffic while carpooling to work.”
