In the USA, a rock has been discovered that can provide infinite amounts of energy and has the advantage of being very inexpensive.

Benedikt Schlotmann 11. September 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Cheap and environmentally friendly energy is always a major topic. Researchers have now discovered a rock that could solve many problems. The research is still in its infancy, but it is promising.

Hydrogen is considered by many to be a key element for clean energy. Even our Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action regards hydrogen as the “key element for the energy transition.”

American researchers are currently trying to develop a way to extract hydrogen from a specific rock: Theoretically, this rock contains infinite energy that they would like to tap into. Research is still in the early stages, but the USA is already investing millions of dollars in science.

But there is still a problem: How do you extract the hydrogen and energy from the rock? The initial ideas are promising and, above all, cost-effective. This is reported by our colleagues at Jeuxvideo.com.

Clean, cheap energy, if you can get the energy from the rock

What kind of rock is this? The so-called “white rock” is rich in natural hydrogen, which is also referred to as white hydrogen. It is produced by the reaction of water with iron-rich rock: The iron corrodes and releases hydrogen.

Since this process occurs within the Earth’s crust, it has only been very limited in observation. However, in 2012, the Canadian company Hydroma confirmed the existence of this hydrogen for the first time, which they want to utilize now.

This is what the researchers are currently doing: A geological study by American researchers has found that the Earth’s crust could contain billions of tons of geological hydrogen trapped in water.

At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), they want to develop a method to extract white hydrogen from rock. The researchers are still at the beginning of their experiments, but these are promising. And the proposed solution is also cost-effective, as it would require the use of a sophisticated flexible carbon material, which would be limited to a cost of 1 dollar.

Viewer asks shroud why he prefers to showcase the new shooter on Steam rather than his own game on Twitch – Bad Mistake

Schuhmann 11. September 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek (30) is actually a nice guy. But lately, something seems to be off with him. He has become addicted to the MOBA shooter Deadlock on Steam and is apparently neglecting his own game Spectre Divide in the eyes of his fans. Deadlock is driving him crazy, says the shooter expert.

What is wrong with shroud? Shroud is currently in a dilemma:

He has become addicted to the new MOBA shooter Deadlock on Steam and has already logged 103 hours on Twitch in 30 days. For shroud, it’s clear: Deadlock is a great game and will dominate the market.

At the same time, however, his own new game, the shooter Spectre Divide, was released on September 3 on Steam, which he greatly contributed to and has already invested 72 hours into.

For both shooters, shroud is the biggest streamer on Twitch.

“Hey, shroud isn’t even playing his own game”

This is how he is doing right now: A few days ago, shroud logged off angrily after 5 hours in Spectre Divide because he lost a game where he was leading 7-2 initially. To relax, he started playing Deadlock on Steam.

An apparently new viewer just came into his Twitch stream and surprisingly noted: “Hey, shroud isn’t even playing his own damn game.”

This caused shroud to have an outburst that was not at all like him.

Shroud started to laugh out loud during the stream, then apologized and continued more calmly: “I just played it for 5 hours,” then he insulted the user profanely.

However, the streamer apparently got shocked by himself, stood up, and shook it off.

“The game is driving me crazy”

What does he say about Deadlock? Deadlock seems to be consuming shroud from the inside. In a recent stream, he said that the game has changed the way he sees himself and his teammates. It “is driving him crazy”.

For his friends, it’s clear: Shooter god shroud has become “MOBA MIKE”.

Shroud is indeed a versatile player who is often solely referred to as Aimgott and former CS:GO pro, but one of his passions also lies in MMORPGs, especially WoW: Shroud is so addicted to WoW Classic that he plays it while skipping Twitch streams.

DrDisrespect accuses former Twitch employee, calls him a rat – This is how he reacts

Johanna 11. September 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In his latest livestream on YouTube, the streamer Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm threatened to sue former Twitch employee Cody Conners. He has now responded on X with a lot of mockery.

What is the backstory? In 2020, Twitch streamer DrDisrespect was banned on Twitch. The reason only came to light in 2024 through former Twitch employee Cody Connors: DrDisrespect allegedly exchanged inappropriate messages with a minor using the Twitch whisper feature.

A report in Rolling Stone followed with new information and other far-reaching consequences. After a kind of “vacation” that lasted only 74 days, he returned and lashed out against Twitch and their former employee Cody Conners.

Before it was known why DrDisrespect was banned from Twitch, many were wondering about the truth:

What allegations does DrDisrespect make? In his latest livestream on YouTube, DrDisrespect claimed that Conners did not receive the information firsthand and provocatively said: “Cody, why do that? What was the point? […] For what? […] You know nothing!” He also threatened legal action against the former Twitch employee.

How did Cody Conners respond? Cody Conners was not impressed. He made two posts that mocked the streamer’s threats. First, he posted a screenshot on X showing him asking ChatGPT: “What kind of lawyer do I need when I’m definitely not being sued?”

In the second post on X, Cody Conners asked: “Siri, when do I have to go to court if I don’t have to?”

These two posts are indirectly a confirmation that DrDisrespect has not followed through on his threats of legal action.

That DrDisrespect is not afraid to take the matter to court is evidenced by the lawsuit between him and Twitch. This was fought out in 2021 as the streamer claimed to have suffered financial and reputational consequences from the ban. Thus, there could still be a lawsuit from DrDisrespect.

For example, he streamed while at E3 in 2019, including from the toilet, and was promptly punished by Twitch for it.

Steam: A high-quality racing MMO with open world and many cars is currently 98% cheaper on Steam – Costs only 1 Euro

Christoph Waldboth 11. September 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

If you’re looking for a racing game with an open world, you can currently save a lot of money on Steam. The mentioned game has good reviews and costs just one euro.

Which game is it? The Crew 2 was released in 2018 and is the direct successor to the first part of the same name. It was developed by Ivory Tower and published by Ubisoft.

The Crew 2 is, like its predecessor, a racing game. But unlike many competing titles, you are not limited to closed tracks, but can drive in an open world. There are races and challenges waiting for you, and you can explore the USA, as The Crew 2 takes place there, quite freely.

Unlike the predecessor, in this installment, alongside the obligatory cars, you also have access to planes, motorcycles, helicopters, and boats. The term racing game is therefore quite stretched.

If you’ve been unsure whether a trip to the virtual USA of The Crew 2 is worth it, you can currently make the trip for a ridiculously low amount of money.

Start video

The game is almost being given away

What is the offer? Ubisoft has drastically reduced the price of The Crew 2 on Steam. The game usually costs 49.99 euros; currently, it is a whopping 98% off. This results in a price of just 1 euro.

That is ridiculously low and might convince skeptics to give the game a chance. We are talking about a price that is far below that of your daily coffee, not to mention lunch snacks.

Is the purchase worth it? Money isn’t everything; quality has to be right. The Crew 2 has received mixed ratings from the press since its release in 2018. On Metacritic, the game holds a score of 64 from critics. Players rate it 5.7 on the platform.

The picture looks different on Steam. Here, The Crew 2 has a “very positive” rating. 82% of players found the game good, out of 61,310 total reviews (as of September 11, 2024).

However, recent reviews are only “mixed”. With the current offer, many new players will certainly try The Crew 2. It remains to be seen how the opinions will change in the coming days.

WoW: Leveling Brann Bronzebeard is now harder – Players are angry

Cortyn 11. September 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The companion in the depths of World of Warcraft has been changed. This is now causing some frustration, as the grind has become longer.

In World of Warcraft: The War Within, the depths (“Delves”) are a new feature that you can dive into intensively starting today, as the higher difficulty levels are now accessible and allow for the acquisition of really powerful loot. The constant companion by your side is Brann Bronzebeard, who also wants to be levelled up happily. The problem: He levels up very slowly now and only in very specific depths. Many are really not fond of this.

Start video

WoW schenkt euch zwei 34-Platz Taschen – Hier findet ihr sie

Autoplay

What has changed about Brann? Just a few days ago, Blizzard reacted to the fact that some players had exploited a bug. They had levelled their Brann Bronzebeard extremely high, some even to level 60. As a result, he was extremely powerful and could handle the depths almost single-handedly without real help from the respective character.

Blizzard reacted quickly: Brann was first restricted so that he could not gain experience past level 15 until the start of the season. Subsequently, Brann was reset to level 15 on all accounts.

Now the season has started, and Brann can again gain experience points, but with a significant restriction: Brann can only gain experience points in “bountiful” depths. These can only be visited and completed once per day and character – and provide hefty loot only if you use restored chest keys.

Excessive grinding to level up Brann quickly is therefore quite difficult, if not impossible.

This is how the community reacts: They seem to be quite divided on this change. While some can understand the change so that Brann is not completely overpowered within a few hours, there are also many sarcastic and clearly disapproving voices. From the comments in the official WoW forum, for instance:

“This should have been known months in advance. Why are we only getting this information now?” – Rynnox
“With all due respect… why?
The only real difference between bountiful and normal depths is the chest at the end.
Just let him gain XP from every depth and that’s a clear win.” – Voidarcane
“Sniff… It brings tears to my eyes to see that solo players wanted a progress system only to then run into the same time-gating wall that mythic and PvP players experience and then shout ‘WTF’. You’ve done it.” – Primalmatter

“An outstandingly terrible decision, lmao. This is just insane.” – DanielMoore0515
“This is a terrible design decision. It only encourages having a large army of alternate characters and running the bountiful depths on all of them every day.” – mistuh_fier

However, some also note that Brann and the depths are supposed to be a progress system that stretches over an entire season. If Brann were to reach the maximum level in the first few days, the progress would be completely finished right away.

Many suspect that Blizzard will make some changes to Brann in the coming weeks, such as increasing the XP bonus for the first visited depth each week – but that’s only speculation so far. If you are still unsure which class is currently really good, check out our tier list for WoW: The War Within.

The great Arnold Schwarzenegger was too small for one of Marvel’s iconic characters and was rejected

Christoph Waldboth 11. September 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Arnold Schwarzenegger lost a leading role in a Marvel movie simply because he was too short for it. Ironically, a big rival stepped in to play the character in a series and several films.

Arnold Schwarzenegger really can’t complain about having only played small and insignificant roles. Throughout his career, he portrayed well-known characters like the Terminator or Conan the Barbarian. He also starred in Predator, True Lies, and Total Recall, all of which became cult films. By the way, his most lucrative film is not one you would expect.

However, not all roles that Schwarzenegger wanted, he got. An iconic character from the Marvel universe was denied to the bodybuilder and actor.

One of the greatest classics with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead role is Terminator 2 by James Cameron:

Seven centimeters made the difference

Which character is it about? We are talking about Hulk, Marvel’s green rage monster. Most of you will have the face of Mark Ruffalo in mind, who played the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in recent years.

Or you might think of Eric Bana or Edward Norton, who played the title role in Hulk in 2003 and The Incredible Hulk in 2008, respectively.

However, there are even older adaptations of the comic source. In 1977, a film was released that was also titled The Incredible Hulk. Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally supposed to play the lead role and was the first choice. He had the right physique and seemed perfect – but a small detail prevented the production from giving him the job.

Because the casting officials insisted on an actor who is at least 1.95 meters tall. With his 1.88 meters, Schwarzenegger didn’t quite meet the requirement. Although it was only 7 centimeters that he was lacking, it was enough to lose the role.

Who played Hulk instead? Ironically, Schwarzenegger’s great rival Lou Ferrigno got the role of Hulk. Ferrigno, like Arnie, is also working as an actor and bodybuilder and gained early fame in the film industry through his appearance in the documentary-drama Pumping Iron with Schwarzenegger in the lead role.

Ferrigno played Hulk in the film and then in a TV series that ran between 1978 and 1982. He later appeared in other Hulk films, and in modern adaptations of the comic character, he also makes appearances in supporting roles or cameos. Nevertheless, Schwarzenegger can look back on a long and impressive career – on MeinMMO you will find 7 facts about him.

Did you know that there are over 700 fouls in Quidditch? 7 facts about the sport from Harry Potter

Linda Baumgartl 11. September 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

With the recent release of “Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions” there is hardly a better time to talk about the best wizard sport in the world. We have a few exciting facts for you that will make you a Quidditch expert.

What is Quidditch? Quidditch is a magical sport from Harry Potter played on flying brooms.

Each team consists of seven players: three chasers, two beaters, one keeper, and one seeker.
It is played with four balls: the quaffle, two bludgers, and the golden snitch.
The game ends when the golden snitch is caught by the seeker.

[toc]

Here you get an impression of the new Quidditch game:

Start video

Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions – The official gameplay trailer just before launch

Autoplay

1. Quidditch comes from “Queerditch Marsh”

The name “Quidditch” is derived from the origin of the wizard sport, the marsh “Queerditch Marsh”. There lived a witch named Gertie Keddle in the 11th century.

Gertie observed a strange game played on brooms where players threw balls and stones at each other. Even though she was mostly annoyed by the noise of this commotion, she noted all the details in her diary.

From this developed in Great Britain then “Kwidditch”, which later became the Quidditch we know.

2. Germany had its own “Quidditch”

Although Quidditch is the only broom sport that gained worldwide fame, there are still some similar sports. Many of them are probably even predecessors of Quidditch, which enabled the sport’s enormous popularity.

These predecessors were usually only known in individual countries or regions. For example, Germany also had its own “Quidditch” variant:

Stichstock (Germany): Players had to try to pierce a fully pumped bladder of a dragon with sharpened broomsticks. The bladder was defended by one player – presumably the inspiration for the position of the keeper.
Aingingein (Ireland): Players had to fly through burning barrels and at the end hit a ball into the goal.
Creaothceann (Scotland): A particularly brutal game in which players had a cauldron strapped to their heads, which they had to catch falling boulders with. It is said to have inspired the position of the beaters.
Shuntbumps (England): Players tried to knock each other off their brooms with lances.
Swivenhodge (England): Similar to tennis, a ball was thrown back and forth over a hedge. This could have inspired the chasers.

3. The birthplace of Quidditch

In real life, the birthplace of Quidditch was Manchester. In a small hotel, author J.K. Rowling had the idea for the wizard sport. In a commented edition of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”, which was auctioned for a charitable cause, she wrote about the background of Quidditch:

I had been thinking about things that bring a society together, connect them and express their special character, and I knew I needed a sport.
J.K. Rowling (via tbsnews)

4. The snitch used to be a bird

For a long time, Quidditch was played with just three balls, the quaffle and the two bludgers. Only in 1269 did the predecessor of the golden snitch come into play.

However, it was not yet a ball, but a small round bird called “snidget.” Snidgets are known for their high speed, making catching one a real challenge for the seekers.

However, the birds were often crushed while being caught. And with Quidditch’s growing popularity, snidgets slowly became extinct. Therefore, a wizard named Bowman Wright invented the modern golden snitch in the 15th century – a small metal ball that perfectly mimics the behavior of the snidgets.

In the new Elder Scrolls game, my king was dead after one day and his one-year-old daughter rules

Sophia Weiss 11. September 2024 Reading time 5 minutes

Elder Scrolls: Castles is the latest spin-off of the Elder Scrolls series by Bethesda. MeinMMO editor Sophia has grabbed the crown for you and checked it out. Spoiler: Your king was murdered after one day, and his one-year-old daughter is now ruling.

Update from 11.09.2024: Elder Scrolls: Castles was officially released worldwide on September 10. Our preview report here refers to the Early Access version from March 2024.
We now also have the launch trailer for you.

With Elder Scrolls: Castles, Bethesda has already released the second mobile spin-off for the Elder Scrolls series. The game is based on the principle of Fallout Shelter garnished with a pinch of Elder Scrolls: Blades.

I have been playing for over a week now and have checked out the game. First off: You will have fun if you like Elder Scrolls.

Start video

The Elder Scrolls: Castles – The launch trailer for the new mobile game

Autoplay

Murdered Kings, Underage Successors, and Bad Decisions

Castles starts for me with the murder of the king. No, not the one from the headline, but his father Odar. He seems to have gotten a bit carried away, and his wife was fed up with his infidelity. A lightning-fast Argonian eliminates him, and from now on I get to play his son Jofarr.

Who I promptly let marry his father’s mistress. This naturally annoys Queen Mother, but oh well. The ex-mistress and the king have a sweet little daughter – the line of succession is secure.

And this is important because this king doesn’t last long either: Underestimating the mildew in the fields once and having one too many confrontations with the wizard? Whoosh, the satisfaction of the people drops to the basement. For one (un)faithful subject, it was one bad decision too many, and the second king is soon murdered.

Good thing there’s still the one-year-old daughter. Hopefully, she will make the right decisions. Ultimately, this is also the focus of Castles: making decisions and gathering resources.

I had the king buy Volume 3. Presumably, his murderer missed Volume 2 …

Basically, it’s an evolution of Fallout Shelter and Elder Scrolls Blades. The former was released by Bethesda in 2015, a few months before the release of Fallout 4. Blades, on the other hand, went live in 2019.

I have played both games and must say: Castles skillfully advances the known features of Fallout Shelter and mixes it with the best from Blades with both well-known and unknown lore from the Elder Scrolls series.

By Talos – You Can Only Get It Wrong!

The main task in Castles is to satisfy your subjects. To do this, you build resource farms and workshops where your subjects toil daily. A little later in the game, you can also send up to three castle residents on quests and earn rewards.

New Elder Scrolls looks like a management simulation for Skyrim, coming in September

The 16 MMORPGs with the most players according to official numbers from the developers

Collecting, Crafting, and Having Children

The most important mechanics are, alongside resource gathering, the decisions you make for your ruler. This could mean burning fields with the aforementioned mildew or harvesting quickly before it gets worse. A little tip: This can lead to murdered kings.

You are also mediators and couple therapists: High Elves come by and complain about Talos worship. If you have sent two characters to bed together who actually already have partners, you must settle the marital quarrel.

Pairing your subjects is also a matter that requires the attention of your highness:

The children of your couples take on the characteristics of their parents. So, if you let castle residents with efficiency-boosting traits have children, you’ll soon have an army of highly specialized workers. Or you can do it like me and live in drama.

Into Battle

The quests, on the other hand, remind me personally of a better version of Blades: Instead of running through 3D dungeons that don’t look good on smartphones, your three fighters automatically walk onto a 2D battlefield.

There you can let them decide whom to attack, or you can send them against specific enemies. Also, each character has a special ability depending on the equipped weapon that you can unleash on the enemies.

Upon successful completion, you receive resources and experience points as rewards. If you manage up to three dungeon-dependent challenges, there’s a bonus.

On Microtransactions and Elder Scrolls Lore

All in all, Castles is a solid mobile game. It temporarily satisfies the hunger for more Elder Scrolls games. A new expansion for Elder Scrolls Online is already in sight. The Elder Scrolls 6, on the other hand, is still a while away.

As with most online and mobile titles, you also have to expect microtransactions here. For example, almost every level-up advertises the emperor’s package. This is very annoying at the beginning because you reach higher levels very quickly. Since about level 30, however, everything has slowed down a bit.

The buttons for more potions scattered here and there don’t really bother me personally. But: I generally try to avoid microtransactions and have actively made that decision in Castles as well. So far, I haven’t had any problems because of it.

However, Bethesda does not reinvent the wheel with the game. You play it because you either enjoy relaxed building games or want to know what happens when an Argonian and a Khajiit have a baby.

I’m having fun with the game, even though I usually avoid mobile games – only Pokémon GO has a permanent place on my phone. In fact, Castles is full of references to the main games and their lore, which makes me incredibly happy: There are High Elves with Talos phobia, The Plump Argonian Maid, and Tamriel during the peak of the Empire.

So, Castles will stay on my phone for a while and keep me company. At least until I install Skyrim for the umpteenth time. Or until I try Elder Scrolls Online again.

PS5 Pro or Gaming PC: What should you buy for 800 euros?

Benedikt Schlotmann 11. September 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The PS5 Pro has been officially presented, but the price has caused much discussion. Is it worth buying the PS5 Pro at a cost of 800 euros?

The PS5 Pro has been officially announced and has mentioned the price and release of the PS5 Pro. However, especially the high price of 800 euros makes many players angry. Because many say, “with that money, you could just buy a gaming PC!”

On one hand, we will look at how much hardware you really get for 800 to 900 euros. On the other hand, we will explain to you who might benefit the most from which purchase and how much “gaming PC” is really worth for you in the end.

PS5 Pro or Gaming PC for 800 Euros – What you get

How much does the PS5 cost? Sony has announced the official price and release date for the PS5 Pro:

The PS5 Pro will cost 799 euros in Germany.
For a drive, you will pay an additional 119.99 euros, and for a stand, about 30 euros. A second DualSense controller will cost around 60 euros.
For the complete package, you will therefore pay around 950 euros. A subscription for PS Plus is not included if you want to play online.

What gaming PC can you get for 800 to 900 euros? To find out, we compared the prices of pre-built PCs in several shops. We are always assuming about 900 euros:

At CSL, you can already get a fast mid-range PC with an i5-14400F and an RTX 4060 Ti. This is sufficient for Full HD and also for WQHD with some compromises in frame rates.
At Dubaro, you get a Ryzen 5 5600X and an RX 6750 XT. With this, you can play with high frame rates in WQHD and even use 4K with some compromises.
At Megaport, you get a Ryzen 5 5600 and an RTX 4060. The RTX 4060 is Nvidia’s entry-level GPU for Full HD.

Depending on the offer, you can either get a very good entry-level gaming PC (RTX 4060) or already a mid-range gaming PC (RX 6750 XT). Generally, you need to upgrade your graphics card every 3 to 5 years if you want to play top titles.

If you are willing to pay an additional 200 euros for your gaming PC, you can already get a machine in the lower high-end range. For instance, a graphics card like the RTX 4070 or an RX 7900 GRE / XT. With that, you should be set for the next few years before you need to upgrade again.

PS5 Pro, Gaming PC, or the old PS5?

Basically, it depends on what you really need and what you should ultimately buy:

Reasons to choose the PS5:

If you only want to play current titles and are satisfied with 30 FPS or sometimes 60 FPS, then the normal PS5 or PS5 Slim is completely sufficient. Because its performance is still enough for all titles that are released for the PS5.
If you want to “only” play, do not want to worry about settings, and do not plan to upgrade in the next four or five years, then the normal PS5 is still the best choice.
If you need a drive in the PS5 because you buy movies and series through your console, then the extra cost for the PS5 Pro might be too expensive for you. After all, you will have to purchase a drive additionally.
If you are looking for a straightforward and accessible gaming experience, then the PS5 is still a very good console.

Reasons to choose the PS5 Pro:

If you are already equipped with a 4K or 8K setup and want to get the most out of your setup and your PS5, then you might consider upgrading to the PS5 Pro.
If money is no object for you and the PS5 is your main platform, then the PS5 Pro is also the best way for you.
If stable 60 FPS are an absolute must for you and you do not want to game with less.

Reasons to choose a gaming PC:

A gaming PC is the better choice if you want to be more flexible and do not just want to game but also want to browse the internet or do office tasks.
The gaming PC is also a good option if you plan to upgrade your CPU or graphics card later. Usually, you can have upgrades done by a shop.
For 900 euros, you get more value in the PC area than with the PS5 Pro, but you will need to invest your own time in the installation of games and software.
If you pay an additional 200 euros, you can already get a high-end gaming PC with RTX 4070 or RX 7900 GRE /XT and be prepared for 4K gaming.

Diablo 4: Broken build deals so much damage that not even the numbers are displayed

Benedict Grothaus 11. September 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The expert Rob is known for building strong and sometimes totally absurd builds in Diablo 4, especially for Barbarians. He has now discovered a new build that literally causes infinite damage. The game can’t display so much anymore. Rob is sure: This will never make it to the game.

What kind of build is this?

Blizzard is currently testing the changes of Season 6 on the PTR. Anyone can participate on PC, look for bugs, and give feedback.
New features include rune words that are new to the game and changes to classes. There are new Paragon nodes and modified skills.
Rob2628, a Diablo and especially Barbarian expert, is actively testing here and has created a thorns build for Barbarians that accumulates more and more damage. To infinity.

Start video

Autoplay

This is what makes the build so strong: At the moment, there seems to be a faulty interaction between two passive skills of the Barbarian on the PTR: Tough as Nails and Barbed Carapace. Tough as Nails is already in the game, while Barbed Carapace will come as a new skill with Season 6:

Tough as Nails increases your thorns damage, and when you hit enemies, they bleed for part of the damage.
Barbed Carapace boosts your thorns proportionally for every 25 rage spent, and you deal thorns damage to enemies you move through.

This combination already enables strong thorns builds. If you have accumulated more than 30 ranks of Tough as Nails through completion and other options, the damage continues to stack – to infinity. Why this is the case is not entirely clear.

How you build the rest of the build is relatively unimportant as long as you have as much thorns damage as possible and build on health points and attack speed. Everything else is irrelevant since thorns cannot critically hit anyway.

Rob uses a “Spin to Win” build in his video and shows how he only gets the infinity symbol displayed after a 40-digit number. By the way, such a number is called a sextillion. You can find the build here on d4builds. According to Rob, the build comes from a Chinese player who showed him the build.

“Wizards are still stronger”

The expert is sure that this build will never leave the PTR. Aside from the obviously faulty interaction between the two passive effects, Barbed Carapace alone is much too strong, says Rob:

Even the basic thorns build is being changed because this passive has more than one broken interaction. In AoE scenarios, for example, they tick multiple times.

von Nicole Wakulczyk

Previously, Rob found a build with which he can kill bosses without using his hands. However, Rob says that wizards are still stronger on the PTR – even with all this crazy Barbarian action.

Season 6 will be released on October 8, 2024, together with Vessel of Hatred and will bring numerous changes to classes and content, including a level squish: You will level up only to level 60, after which there is Paragon for all characters in the realm. However, one change is not well received: Diablo 4 removes a small detail that became legendary through Diablo 2, disappointing fans: ‘Over 20 years of nostalgia’

The One Piece manga clarifies the fate of a believed-to-be-dead character

Jasmin Beverungen 11. September 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The new chapter of the manga for One Piece is actually set to be released in a few days. However, leaks are already revealing what will happen in the next chapter. As a result, we know what happened to one of the characters who has faced a terrible fate.

Warning, Spoilers: Here we have spoilers for manga chapter 1126 of One Piece.

Which character is involved? In the leaks on Reddit, we learn what happened to Monkey D. Luffy’s grandfather, Marine Vice Admiral Garp. Unfortunately, Garp has recently been hit hard. During the rescue operation at Hachinosu, the base of the Blackbeard Pirates, Garp was defeated by Kuzan.

Garp’s goal was to rescue his protégé, Corby. The unit managed to achieve that, but in exchange, Garp had to stay behind. He was lying bloodied on the ground, impaled by an ice spear. Things looked grim for him, and it was unclear whether he survived the attack. His fate will now be clarified in the new chapter.

The anime for One Piece is currently in the Egghead Island Arc:

Garp’s fate will be revealed in the next chapter of One Piece

What happened to him? In the upcoming chapter, there will be a scene where Blackbeard returns to Hachinosu. He is angry that Pizarro, a member of his crew, let Corby escape. At the same time, he praises Kuzan for capturing Garp.

The word “capturing” means that Garp is still alive despite his severe injuries. However, he is now in the custody of Blackbeard, one of the strongest pirates ever.

What could happen next? Some fans on Reddit speculate that there could be a rescue operation similar to the one in the Marineford arc. During a potential execution, Luffy might try to save one of his family members again. Unfortunately, he failed to do so with Ace.

The execution could bring not only Luffy but also Sabo and Garp’s biological son, Monkey D. Dragon, into play. The Marines would also likely have an interest in rescuing Garp. This could lead to a massive battle, which would probably not bode well for Blackbeard.

In the new chapter, the Straw Hat crew will also be torn apart again. MeinMMO has ranked the strength of Luffy’s crew members: One Piece: The members of the Straw Hat crew ranked – How Luffy, Franky, and the others stack up

After the rumors about MontanaBlack’s relationship with a 19-year-old, the ex-boyfriend speaks out with a statement

jacquelinek 11. September 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

For months, rumors have been circulating about an alleged relationship between MontanaBlack and the Twitch streamer Snipsska. Now her ex-boyfriend is also commenting on the allegations and the situation.

What is it about? For many months, there has been persistent rumor that MontanaBlack is in a relationship with 19-year-old Twitch streamer Snipsska. Both have already reacted to the rumors, with MontanaBlack calling them “the biggest lie of all time”.

The rumors primarily started because of Snipsska’s ex-boyfriend, who claimed that the well-known streamer had taken his underage girlfriend from him. After the streamer also denied the rumors, she made further accusations against her ex-boyfriend on August 16 on X.

He denies the accusation that he has put obstacles in her way and explains that he organized her equipment for her PC and connected her with other influencers.

He also denies the accusation of having stood unannounced at her front door. According to his statements, he had spoken to Snipsska about this situation, and it was merely a surprise where he wanted to pick her up after school.

However, in his video, he still maintains his belief that MontanaBlack and Snipsska are in a relationship and claims that they had already maintained closer contact while she was still underage.

The topic of MontanaBlack and Snipsska is causing a stir, especially since the US streamer Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm is under fire for messages with a 17-year-old. These allegations led to his Twitch ban, and now YouTube is said to have blocked his earnings as well.

The highest-paid actor from Harry Potter appears for only 30 minutes in all 8 films – Yet he earned the most

Christoph Waldboth 11. September 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

An actor from the movies surrounding the wizard Harry Potter has earned quite a lot in relation to his screen time. Even more than the lead actor Daniel Radcliffe.

Which actor is it? Already in the first installment of the Harry Potter film series, Tom Felton played his character Draco Malfoy with full dedication. The nasty nature of the character was reflected in his smirking smile and condescending behavior.

Draco was already a bully back then, as he is in the book. He became Harry’s rival at Hogwarts, whether in wizard duels or in Quidditch, the broomstick sport, which can also be played virtually today. Over the course of the story, Draco developed into a fundamentally tragic figure.

Tom Felton, who played Draco in all eight films, really can’t complain about a low salary. Because relative to his actual screen time, he is the highest earner in terms of salary.

Tom Felton was part of the first film – watch the trailer here:

Start video

Autoplay

A lot of money for little screen time

How much did Felton earn? In relation to his screen time, Felton earned more than any other actor. Specifically, around 500,000 US dollars per minute of film.

In total, Malfoy appears for only 31 minutes and 45 seconds – in all eight films, which add up to more than 19 hours in total.

This is surprising at first, after all, Felton as Malfoy is memorable and one of the most famous characters from the Harry Potter world. In the little time that the character is on screen, however, the actor has made quite a lot of money.

Even lead actor Daniel Radcliffe cannot match his colleague. Understandably, Radcliffe is seen much more often, which lowers his per-minute rate – to still a remarkable 160,000 US dollars. He was on screen for 539 minutes.

Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, who play Hermione and Ron, earned 195,000 and 170,000 US dollars per minute, respectively, but are also seen less than Radcliffe. Compared to conventional salaries, this all sounds incredibly absurd – just like Johnny Depp’s fee, who received a staggering 16 million US dollars for a spin-off of the Potter saga.

It is well known that lead actor Daniel Radcliffe had some respect for the nasty Snape – he is grateful for their time together today.

WoW: The War Within starts Season 1 – From now on, the depths are really hard

Cortyn 11. September 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The depths in World of Warcraft open “correctly”. Starting today, you can face the new challenges.

In World of Warcraft, today, on September 11, 2024, the first season of The War Within begins. Even though “Mythic+” and the mythic raid won’t start until next week, many contents are already active – including the significantly tougher depths (“Delves”). We will tell you what changes for you starting today and what loot you can grab.

Start video

WoW: The War Within – Forces Within

Autoplay

What changes with the depths? From now on, you can unlock depths that exceed level 3. You can unlock depths up to level 11, making the challenge – and the reward – significantly better each time. This is a great opportunity, especially for solo players, to get good to very good equipment.

What’s new from level 4 of the depths: When you enter a depth of level 4 or higher, you have – similar to back then in Torghast – a quota of “lives”. You can therefore only die a few times during your visit to the depth before it is considered failed. You can also continue a depth, even if you have failed too often – however, you will not unlock the next higher difficulty upon completion and the quality of your loot at the end will be reduced.

You need the keys for this: The “Restored Chest Key” can be used in the “generous” depths to open a bonus chest. You can only receive a limited number of keys per week – so you should try to master a depth as difficult as possible to obtain the best rewards.

Only by using a chest key will you receive truly good loot from the depths. Otherwise, your reward has a maximum item level of 554 – regardless of the difficulty of the depth.

What rewards are there? Depending on how tough the depths you face are, better rewards await. This applies both to the final chest of a depth and to the weekly reward box in Dornogal. You can see what item level your reward can have in the table below:

Depth Level	Generous Reward	Weekly Box
1	561	584
2	564	584
3	571	587
4	577	597
5	584	603
6	590	606
7	597	610
8	603	616
9	603	616
10	603	616
11	603	616

How can you further level Brann? Brann Bronzebeard is your companion in the depths of the first season of The War Within. However, many have already noticed that he no longer gains experience points starting at level 15. His further progress was previously blocked, but now he can collect XP again. However, this is only possible in the “generous” depths. So you should prioritize visiting these if you want to provide Brann with new levels – regardless of whether you actually open the final generous box or not.

Will you check out the tougher depths starting today? Will you go as a group or prefer solo? Or is this type of endgame not for you, and would you rather dive into dungeons and the raid? It’s also a good time to start with WoW – because currently, more people could be playing WoW than ever before.

WoW The War Within: The Earthen as a Playable Race – How You Can Unlock Them

Karsten Scholz 11. September 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

Since the ID switch on September 4, 2024, it is possible to unlock the Earthen, the new playable race from WoW: The War Within along with the associated traditional armor. MeinMMO will tell you what you need to do.

What do I need to know about the Earthen? The Earthen are a titanforged race made of living stone, infused with the essence of Azeroth’s World Soul! These ancient inhabitants have just been freed from the edicts to which they were bound. With boundless curiosity, the Earthen now venture out to explore the world as allies of the Alliance and Horde.

Since the ID switch on September 4, 2024, you can unlock the Earthen as a playable allied race from WoW: The War Within, for both factions of the MMORPG. Below, you’ll learn how to do this in detail and how to obtain the associated traditional armor of the dwarf-like race.

Update from May 19, 2025: We have made a slight adjustment to improve readability.

[toc]

Start video

WoW: The War Within – Forces Within

Autoplay

How to Unlock the Earthen

You must fulfill the following requirements for the Earthen:

Complete the launch campaign of WoW: The War Within.
Fulfill all quests that have an icon for “Allied Race: Earthen” in the quest text (directly above the quest reward).

The meta achievement “Allied Races: The Earthen” offers you a clear path with its four sub-achievements:

“Campaign of The War Within”: Complete the entire launch campaign of the expansion, including the four chapters at level 80.
“Grief Heights”: Start the quest “Before My Departure” by Korgran on the Isle of Thorn (at coordinates 57.4/43) and follow the chain up to and including “The Burden of Duty”.
“Broken Tools”: Take the quest “Thrown Away and Broken” from Machinist Kittrin (48.2/33.4) in the Sounding Depths and complete it until the follow-up quest “Newly Forged Destiny”.
“Merrix and Steelspike”: This begins in the capital Thornogal, with the quest “How Scandalous!” by Aldra (62.6/21.8), until you finally reach “Nasty Business”.

If you complete the meta achievement with its four objectives, you may create an Earthen and welcome the mount of the Earthen, the Slate Stone Ramloth, into your collection.

How to Unlock the Traditional Armor of the Earthen

If you reach level 50 with a character from the allied race of the Earthen, you will receive the achievement “Legacy of the Earthen” and the traditional armor of the Earthen. Only Earthen characters can transmog this armor.

Tip: You don’t have to level up manually. Since The War Within, boosts and race changes for the traditional armors of allied races also work. You can apply a level 70 boost to your freshly created Earthen, or convert an existing character into an Earthen to instantly secure the achievement and traditional armor.

Classes and Racial Abilities of the Earthen

With your freshly earned Earthen you can embark on the following class careers:

Hunter
Mage
Monk
Paladin
Priest
Rogue
Shaman
Warlock
Warrior

The following racial abilities belong specifically to the Earthen:

Quiet Contemplation: Draws strength from your inner energy. Gradually restores health and mana. You must remain seated while meditating.
Azerite Woge: The Earthen draw from their inner power by casting an empowered spell that, when triggered, summons the power of Azerite in a cone-shaped area in front of them to damage enemies and support allies.
Hyper Productive: Increased finesse. Finesse increases the chance to obtain additional materials while gathering.
Consume Minerals: You are always full but cannot consume food. Eating a gem from Khaz Algar alters the bonus granted by being full (Amber: Stamina, Emerald: Haste, Onyx: Mastery, Ruby: Critical Strike Rating, Sapphire: Versatility).
Creature of the Titans: Increases the base armor value from equipped items by 10%.
Amazing Wonders: When you gain experience for discovering a location, you additionally receive 200% exploration experience.

The MMORPG Tarisland asks 10,000 players to press a button on Steam, but only wants to reward 500 for it

Cedric Holmeier 11. September 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

In the MMORPG Tarisland, the new expansion will continue in October. Accordingly, the game also wants to successfully launch on Steam and needs the help of the players.

What do the developers want? The developers of Tarisland plan to launch Season 1 of Tarisland in October. For this, the MMORPG will not only be expanded content-wise but also land on Steam. Tarisland will not be expanded with large add-ons as is usual in MMORPGs, but will receive smaller season updates throughout the year with new raids, dungeons, and other content.

Currently, Tarisland already has a product page on Steam but has not been released yet. Instead, Tarisland could only be played using its own launcher. The developers are now calling on players in a new campaign to add their game to their wishlist on Steam. There will also be a reward for players if enough people add the MMORPG to their list.

Here you can watch the trailer for the new expansion of Tarisland:

The wishlist is important for the MMORPG

What does the campaign look like? To get more people to add the MMORPG to their wishlist, the developers have come up with a new campaign. Players are to defeat the raid boss Aslow, which also exists in the game, outside of the game.

For each person who adds Tarisland to their wishlist on Steam, the boss will receive one damage point. With 10,000 health, 10,000 users are needed to add the game to their list to defeat the boss. However, there is no official counter or a way to see the exact number of wishlist entries.

Behind the wishlist on Steam is an algorithm that decides how many other users a game is shown to based on the number of users who have it on their wishlist, reports akuparagames.com.

However, the distribution of the codes is not related to the users who have actually added the game to their wishlist. Moreover, there are only 500 codes for the potential 10,000 users participating in the campaign.

While many players are currently taking a break from the MMORPG and waiting for the launch of the new expansion and season in October, others are cheating as much as possible.

The end of Space Marine 2 could massively influence the future of Warhammer 40,000

Benedict Grothaus 11. September 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

Space Marine 2 takes place in the dark world of Warhammer 40,000, a dystopian future where war is constant. The cooperative shooter is particularly popular for its action-packed gameplay, but it also offers a story. And that could become significant for the entire universe.

Spoiler Warning: We are discussing the ending of the story campaign of Space Marine 2 here. If you haven’t completed the game yet or don’t want to be spoiled, you should not continue reading. Here you can find, in preparation, what you need to know about the story of Space Marine 2 regarding Warhammer.

Start video

Der Launch-Trailer zu Space Marine 2, dem neuen Koop-Shooter in Warhammer 40k

Autoplay

What is Space Marine 2 about?

You play as the Ultramarine Titus in Space Marine 2, who fights against the alien threat of the Tyranids, nasty bug aliens with a hive mind.
In the world of Warhammer 40k, this happens constantly. The Tyranid fleet that you face here is the largest and most dangerous in the entire universe.
At the end of the story, there is a big plot twist with a nasty preview of what could come in the future – with an important detail.

This is the end: While you fight against the Tyranids, Chaos Marines of the Thousand Sons appear to take advantage of the moment and spread some chaos. Literally. They use the war to hand over at least this part of the galaxy to the Warp.

To achieve this, they use Project Aurora, which is the central theme of the entire game. The project is a kind of weapon that harnesses technologies from Chaos, Xenos (more specifically: Necrons), and the Imperium to seemingly completely drive the Warp out of an area.

In Space Marine 2, this doesn’t quite work at first, because a wizard of the Thousand Sons infiltrates the project and manipulates the weapon to open a gate to the Warp instead of banishing it.

Titus and his team ultimately manage to defeat the evil Marines and use the artifact to actually drive out the chaos. Throughout the whole ordeal, you also visit a tomb world of the Necrons, whose awakening is hinted at towards the end.

WoW Patch 12.0.5: Release date, Patch notes, Highlights – what you need to know about the next update from Midnight

The Necrons’ plan threatens all of humanity

Awakening Necrons, Chaos, and the largest Tyranid fleet in the universe are already problematic enough. However, what could really become terrible for humanity is the artifact that Titus and the Ultramarines find.

What kind of device it is exactly is never explained. However, the Necrons have a technology that can indeed drive the Warp away while creating a “Pariah Nexus” – depending on the source, the actual device might be named that way already.

What sounds good at first is a big problem for humans (and also Eldar, by the way). A Pariah Nexus separates an entire area from the Warp and prevents its intrusion – but also the intrusion into the Warp.

There is even its own series about Pariah Nexus, which describes the Necrons in a bit more detail:

Start video

Warhammer 40,000: The trailer for the series Pariah Nexus

According to large parts of the lore, human souls are essentially part of the Warp and return there after the death of the human. Humans and Eldar are inherently psychic beings and are therefore, it is assumed, connected to the Warp.

If this connection is missing now, at least the souls are trapped after death – possibly, all of this could have even worse effects on living beings. The Necrons’ plan is apparently to make the entire universe one big Nexus.

The end of Space Marine 2 thus hints at a gigantic development in Warhammer 40k in general – if it is considered canon. This is not always so certain with Warhammer. Maybe the Necrons are just an idea for upcoming content, of which at least a few are already known: Roadmap shows new PvE missions, weapons, and what else is coming after release

More than 12 million players! WoW likely with a new all-time high, but not thanks to The War Within

For more than 14 years, the record of more than twelve million subscribers to World of Warcraft stood over Blizzard and the entire MMORPG genre. Now there are signs that WoW is being played by even more people for the first time.

Where do these signs come from? Kihra, the person behind websites like warcraftlogs.com, fflogs.com, and esologs.com, has suggested on X that there are currently more players than ever playing World of Warcraft. She bases her assumption on the following data:

Currently, the number of Chinese players in WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Classic alone corresponds to the highest player numbers of Retail WoW measured since the founding of warcraftlogs.com.
On September 9, 2024, there were about Ulduar-logs for 11 million different characters.
These numbers, of course, also need to include WoW: The War Within, the Season of Discoveries, WoW Classic Hardcore, and WoW Cataclysm Classic.

Concrete numbers for The War Within will be available in the coming days when the first Season starts in all regions. Nevertheless, Kihra is confident that the previous player record of more than twelve million players from the last months of 2010 has likely been surpassed.

Does Wrath of the Lich King set a player record again? Here is the Classic trailer:

The Return of China Pays Off

Why are the Chinese playing WotLK Classic? After Blizzard and the Chinese publisher NetEase could not agree on a contract extension, WoW, Overwatch, and more were unplayable in China for 18 months.

The comeback for modern World of Warcraft only occurred on August 1, 2024. The servers for Wrath of the Lich King Classic went online a bit earlier, allowing Chinese players to catch up on the Northrend adventure during a heavily supported (and shortened) phase and land in Cataclysm Classic in a timely manner. And this version is currently very well received among the Chinese players.

How have player numbers evolved over the years? As is well known, Blizzard officials last revealed official subscriber numbers in 2015. At that time, the count was 5.5 million WoW subscriptions worldwide. The peak occurred, as previously mentioned, at the end of 2010, with just over 12 million subscribers.
