In World of Warcraft, the last barriers of transmogrification will soon fall. You can finally hide your pants – after years of begging.
Transmogrification is an important matter for many players in World of Warcraft. Dressing up your character in nice clothing is simply enjoyable. The success of WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria underscores this, as you can currently earn several dozen transmogrification sets there.
For a while now, it has been possible to make almost all equipment items invisible through transmogrification. For example, if someone didn’t like the look of big shoulders or found that gloves covered the beautiful jewelry of blood elves, they could simply hide these elements.
This creates many different options to present your character. If someone wants to, they can fight wearing only a shirt and skirt and hide the rest.
But one item could not be hidden until now – pants.

WoW: The War Within – All the major features of the new expansion
What was the problem with pants? Pants have been restricted in customization until now. While you could always transform leg items into the design of other items, hiding them was not possible until now. There has not been a clear explanation as to why pants specifically could not be hidden.
This is a bit strange anyway, as all characters wear their race-specific underwear under their pants – characters in World of Warcraft are never truly “naked”.
What will change now? With the new expansion “The War Within”, all items in the leg category can finally be hidden. So if you don’t feel like wearing a skirt or plate pants, that’s finally possible.
What does this bring? By hiding the pants, some clothing items will shine through properly. Especially the newly reintroduced robes from Ahn’Qiraj benefit from this. These come with wide slits on the sides for the legs and normally show a lot of skin – which couldn’t be done if one always had to wear pants under the dress. In the future, these transmogs will “function” significantly better.

On May 19, 2024, MSI 2024 in League of Legends came to an end. In the tournament, teams could qualify for Worlds 2024. The tournament was also filled with a strategy that was used in almost every game. However, Riot wants to change that in the future.
What is Lane-Swapping?
LoL has a fixed structure of lanes at its core
One in Top, one in Mid, one in Jungle, and two on Botlane
This is how every game in LoL actually starts
Lane-Swapping refers to the strategy of swapping lanes in the middle of a match
Typically, the Toplaner swaps with the two players on the Botlane
Professionals make lane swaps to gain a gold or objective advantage or to balance out unfavorable matchups. For instance, if an ADC stands no chance during the laning phase, they can swap with the top lane to farm comfortably there.
At the same time, an ADC can also grab the Toplane tower after the first Botlane tower to increase their gold lead. Another aspect, of course, is objectives. You can swap lanes to establish dominance for Herald or Dragon.
League of Legends opens the 2024 season with an emotional trailer
There are too many Lane-Swaps happening
Why does Riot want to weaken the strategy?RiotPhroxzon announced on x.com that they want to weaken lane swaps because they feel this strategy is better than they would like it to be. While they do not want to make lane swaps completely useless, as it is indeed exciting for the viewers, seeing this strategy in every match is too much.
Bgndrsn: People seem to forget that this meta existed among professionals ages ago and they got rid of it because it was incredibly boring to watch.
MazrimReddit: The last time this was the case, nothing happened in the first 20 minutes of a game.
ColbyCovingtonisgoat: Do you want to see 2 2v1 lanes where the Toplaners just play to get XP behind their tower?
In most matches, the strategy is primarily for the ADC to gain a gold advantage and snowball as quickly as possible. The Toplane usually has to bite the sour apple and has the harder lane, even though there are counterexamples with champions like Yorick.
How will lane swaps be weakened? In the mentioned post by RiotPhroxzon, he already points to the possibility that the gold for the first tower and generally the defense of towers will be strengthened. Spideraxe reports on x.com that on the test server, the damage reduction of towers is increased from 50% to 75% in the first 5 minutes. This will make it take longer to destroy a tower in the early game.
The next patch is expected to be released on May 30, 2024. We will learn what other changes come in the next few weeks. What do you think about lane swaps? Do you find it boring or a valid and exciting strategy? Let us know in the comments. The next champion seems to have been leaked: New champion “Aurora” in League of Legends has been leaked

Star Trek not only takes place among the stars, but sometimes it even stands at the center of an episode’s plot. A special event, which Picard and Co. have already dealt with, can soon be observed in the sky: a nova.We explain to you where to look and what you will see there.
A nova (almost) like in Star Trek: “On screen, Mr. Crusher,” commands Captain Picard. The glowing inferno fills the view: a binary star system. In the TNG episode The Power of the Nanites, the crew of the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-D explores a binary brother pair, a neutron star, and a red giant.
Soon, the companion of the swollen colossus will become the center of a massive explosion, a nova. Is it all just science fiction? No, we will soon experience a nearly identical event ourselves – but it is unique in all of our lifetimes. Because the light from T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) will soon be one of the brightest in our night sky for several days.
Start video
Star Trek: Picard Season 3 Trailer (German)
A cosmic fireworks every 80 years
What is T Coronae Borealis? Behind the cryptically sounding astronomical designation lies a cataclysmically variable binary star. A white dwarf and a red giant rotate around a common center. The distance to Earth is approximately 2,700 light-years.
A white dwarf is what remains of a star like our sun at the end of its existence. It is tiny in cosmic comparison to other stars but is still extremely hot and much more compact.
A red giant represents the final phase in the life of a sun-like star before it becomes a white dwarf. It has expanded and continuously sheds its outer layers over time.
Every 80 years, the red giant and the white dwarf in T Coronae Borealis together create a cosmic spectacle. Something similar could happen in Star Trek through the interaction of a neutron star/red giant duo.
A neutron star is the final stage of a very massive star and a remnant of a supernova. The heaviest stars in the universe collapse into black holes.
What explodes in T Coronae Borealis? The fuel for the globally visible explosion is primarily hydrogen, in vast amounts. It has been siphoned off the red giant brother by the white dwarf due to its higher gravitational influence. The material settles as a disc or ring-like structure over the surface of the diminutive star. The more mass gathers, the deeper it sinks, until the mixture ignites on the surface of the white dwarf.
Unlike a supernova, the original star is not changed; thus, the white dwarf does not collapse into a neutron star or a black hole, but remains as it is. It continues its cosmic meal and grazes matter from the shell of its larger brother again for about 80 years. Therefore, the next nova that will illuminate the cosmos is guaranteed.
T Coronae Borealis is one of only ten known recurring novae.
How to observe the nova in T Coronae Borealis
How can the nova be observed? Once astronomers report that they have sighted the nova, you need nothing more than your bare eyes and a bit of luck. The event will likely be visible in the night sky for several days simply under clear skies.
To find the nova, you need to look for the constellation Corona Borealis; just below, a distinctly bright star will catch your eye. To reliably find the shifting region in the sky month after month, we refer you to the Union of Star Friends and their overview maps for the wandering stars.
When will the nova occur in T Coronae Borealis? Research expects the explosion to happen sometime between now and the end of September 2024. Just save this article; we will keep you updated.
Time on a cosmic scale: When situating cosmic events in time, we automatically simplify. What we see in the sky now is ancient and long past. In the case of T Coronae Borealis, the light – whether from a nova or from stellar everyday life – is about 2,700 years old. Therefore, always bear in mind: Looking at the stars lets us mentally wander into the past of the cosmos.
How do we know when the nova will occur? Historical records clearly show a rhythm of 80 years. And even though only about 78 years have passed since the last nova in 1946, observations indicate a slightly shortened cycle this time.
Because the brightness of the star increased roughly ten years before a nova and then decreased back to normal levels before eventually resulting in the hydrogen explosion.
Worthwhile visualization: You can also find a visually great processing of the topic at the Swiss Radio. They present an interactive special website with many animations that visually bring you closer to what is described here beyond text.
And those who want to get to know the humorous side of Star Trek with Picard, Wesley, and Data beyond rather down-to-earth stories under the stars might take a look at the following opinion article from us. There, Linda Baumgartl explains why she particularly enjoys the animated story Star Trek: Lower Decks.

All Spawns & Shinys for the Ultradimensions Event
These are the new Pokémon: During the Ultradimensions event, you will encounter Agoyon, Muramura, and Koppolosio for the first time. All of these are Ultra Beasts from Generation 7 of the games. You can only obtain the Poison and Dragon Pokémon Agoyon if you evolve its pre-evolution Venicro accordingly.

The head of Helldivers 2 is stepping down as CEO and is hiring a replacement to focus more on his passion: developing games.
Who is it about? Johan Pilestedt is the Creative Director of Helldivers 2 and was also the CEO of the development studio Arrowhead Games until May 22, 2024.
Pilestedt is extremely popular with the Helldivers 2 community because he communicates very openly on social media, especially on x.com. He frequently shares interesting information about the development of the shooter, answers players’ questions, and explains the decisions the team makes.
What’s the deal with the new CEO? Pilestedt announced on x.com that he is stepping down as CEO of Arrowhead Games. He has appointed Shams Jorjani as the new CEO, who Pilestedt said has a great love for video games and is much more organized than Pilestedt himself.
In the same breath, Pilestedt announced that he would now be the CCO (Chief Creative Officer), which means he can spend more time with the team. The new role will also allow him to focus 100% on the games and the community.
In a further post, Pilestedt summarized: “This allows me to focus on my passion of creating the best games for you! […]”

What are Pilestedt’s new responsibilities? As Pilestedt revealed to gamesindustry.biz, his work life has recently shifted increasingly towards the business side, and he hasn’t been able to focus as much on the creative side as he would have liked.
While Shams Jorjani, as the new CEO, will mainly take care of the organization and leadership, Pilestedt has the primary task of advancing the studio’s creative side. Jorjani is expected to enable Pilestedt to create more games like Helldivers 2.
In this context, Pilestedt wants to ensure, as he revealed on x.com, that more developers from the studio actually play Helldivers 2 and get a feel for the game. This is important so that they can make the right decisions for the game. Decisions such as adjusting enemy spawns: Too many enemies caused frustrated players in Helldivers 2 – New update should help

Yesterday it was announced that a number of English-speaking gaming sites, as well as the German Eurogamer, will be taken over by IGN, which is backed by the media company Ziff Davis. Some positions were eliminated on the same evening. This is not something one likes to accept everywhere. The strategy site Rock Paper Shotgun sends a nice greeting to the new owners today, on May 22.
This was the message:
It had been known for a while that the “Gamer Network” was for sale. The parent company ReedPop wanted to sell its gaming sites around Eurogamer.
Last night it was reported that Ziff Davis has acquired the sites of Gamer’s Network for an “undisclosed amount”, including GamesIndustry.biz, Eurogamer and its 6 local editions, as well as Rock Paper Shotgun, VG 247, and Dicebreakers.
The site Rock Paper Shotgun specializes in PC games, especially in role-playing and strategy games like Crusader Kings 3:

News about layoffs came on the evening of the purchase
This was the not-so-good news: Relatively quickly, news emerged that long-time editors of the sites were laid off. Positions at Eurogamer and Digital Foundry were apparently safe. But it cost jobs at GamesIndustry.biz and the strategy site Rock Paper Shotgun. Employees reported: Apparently many, perhaps all employees who were not based in the UK were fired (via aftermath).
Aftermath reported critically: The acquisition had been discussed for a long time, but the news that people had to leave was new. Some employees had been explicitly assured beforehand that their positions were secure.
The last editor of a gaming magazine has to go – did not expect this
The layoff hurts particularly: Alice Bell had to go, an editor from the strategy magazine Rock Paper Shotgun.
The magazine, which specializes in PC games focusing on strategy and role-playing, was founded in 2007, but the founders gradually left the company. The last ones left in 2019. Gamer’s Network acquired the site in May 2017.
Alice Bell had been at Rock Paper Shotgun for 6 years, since June 2018, and held the position of “Deputy Editor”. She believes that her living in Ireland was her downfall. She did not expect to be laid off because she was the only editor still working at Rock Paper Shotgun. Without her, there would be no editorial leadership. Therefore, her own dismissal particularly surprised her.
She bid farewell on Twitter on the day of the acquisition, May 21, with: “Guess who has two thumbs and became redundant after my company got new owners” and sent two thumbs up.
How is the magazine reacting? Rock Paper Shotgun published an article today titled “The Best Alices in PC Games” (via rockpapershotun). The article is the standout feature article of the site.
Somewhat subversively, without mentioning the editor, it is said: At Rock Paper Shotgun, people like Alices. When one meets an Alice, one must respectfully greet her and call her “Alice”. Such an Alice should not be taken lightly and should not be left unattended. One must be wary of an Alice.
Then it lists several Alices from video games, of course “American McGee’s Alice”, plus three others, and ends with: Those are all the Alices that come to mind.
They include a poll asking if people still support Rock Paper Shotgun, with some nasty options like “I used to support it, but I can’t justify it right now” and “No, but I might, now that it’s cheaper than before.”
They also ask the readers if they know another Alice they might want to celebrate.
The comment with the most likes says: “This feels a bit redundant” – a clear reference to the dismissal of the editor.

Trymacs has caused a stir with controversial statements about competitive games like Valorant, League of Legends, and Counter-Strike. He blames these games for him no longer enjoying gaming.
Why does Trymacs say gaming is no longer fun? In one of his recent streams on Twitch, Trymacs talks about video games and clearly states that gaming, especially as a casual player, is no longer fun.

One can no longer relax on the couch
Which games ruin the fun for Trymacs? In his stream, he particularly talks about competitive games like Valorant, League of Legends, Counter-Strike, or Fortnite. For these types of games, he believes that one can no longer relax on the couch to casually play a few rounds in multiplayer.
It seems to him as if one is no longer allowed to actually play the game, but must train in order to keep up.
He cites professional gamers, for example, in the field of Fortnite, questioning whether one can still have fun as a pro in a casual round.
Reactions from the community: The community reacts quite mixed to Trymacs’ statements. Under a clip on TikTok about this topic, there are some voices that agree with him, but some criticize that Trymacs mainly mentions competitive games in his list.
Some users comment under the clip:
niquuu agrees with Trymacs: Unfortunately true
Krekon Ori comments: Congratulations. He lists 80% pure shooters.
ARBUZz notes: True, but if he boosts his Valorant MMR to Immortal, he can’t complain about only playing against tryhards.
Riot Games has opened a Hall of Fame in League of Legends . The first player to enter the Hall of Fame of LoL is the 4-time world champion and “undying demon king” Faker. The South Korean will initially receive a Mercedes worth €195,000. In his honor, there will also be an in-game event.
What is this Hall of Fame?
The Hall of Fame was announced in January 2024: In LoL, it will be called “Hall of Legends.” The institution is intended to correspond to the “Hall of Fame” of US sports. The best players of all time will be honored there regularly. Being inducted into the Hall of Fame is considered a special honor.
Riot Games stated that there are several professional players worth being inducted into a unique Hall of Fame. An independent jury made up of 50 experts and industry veterans has been assembled to select the first Hall of Famer.
Each year, players will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

A spokeswoman for Mercedes from Germany, the sales chairperson Britta Seeger, also says that Mercedes is happy to be part of e-sports. It is an honor to be the official “automobile” partner of the Hall of Legends.
This is his prize: Riot Games has a collaboration underway, and thus Faker also receives a special gift, a custom-made Mercedes-AMG SL 63, worth about €195,000.

The Batman trilogy by Christopher Nolan is highly regarded by many fans. This also applies to the lead actor Christian Bale. However, another actor was initially considered for the bat costume.
Who is the best Batman? A question that has long occupied fans. After all, several actors have embodied the iconic role. For example, Michael Keaton in Tim Burton’s films, Ben Affleck in the DC Extended Universe, or earlier, Adam West in the 60s series.
For many fans, Bale is THE Batman par excellence. But Christian Bale was not the first actor that Nolan wanted for the role.

Another Hollywood star was the first choice
Who was supposed to play Batman? When such a major role is cast in Hollywood, it is rare for only one actor to be considered. Even in the case of Batman, various stars auditioned.
Christopher Nolan initially had a clear favorite. We are talking about Jake Gyllenhaal. Most people probably know the actor from films like Donnie Darko, Prisoners or Nightcrawler. Recently, he appeared in the remake of Road House.
He was the first one Nolan wanted for Batman. The screenwriter of Batman Begins, David S. Goyer, remembers the time when a suitable actor was being sought:
We discussed all sorts of things. There were a number of people who had auditioned, and I had advocated for Gyllenhaal.
Jake Gyllenhaal also did a screen test to see if he fit the role. According to screenwriter Goyer, he would have been a very different Batman, but not necessarily worse than Bale.
Why exactly the creative minds behind the film series ultimately chose Bale remains unclear. After all, they succeeded in establishing a new, modern Batman in cinemas.
What happened next with Jake Gyllenhaal? So the coveted role of the dark avenger did not go to the actor. Over the years, he has played various, often quite complex characters.
In 2019, however, he made a visit to the superhero genre. Ironically, at the competition of DC, Marvel, he played in Spider-Man: Far from Home. In it, Gyllenhaal is seen as the villain Mysterio.
In a survey on MeinMMO, you were able to vote for the strongest character from all animes. We will tell you who made it to the winner’s podium.
Whether it’s martial arts, magical abilities, or tactical skills – many of the anime heroes know how to help themselves in their own way. But it would be exciting to see how the characters would fare in a massive Battle Royale. MeinMMO therefore asked you which anime character is the strongest.
Here are the results: A total of 349 people participated in the survey. You were able to cast your vote for the protagonist you would see as the winner in a fight. Therefore, you could only vote once.
Here we list the characters that made it into the top 11:
The protagonist of Steins;Gate unfortunately did not make it:

Steins;Gate – Trailer for the Best Anime with Time Travel
All other characters unfortunately did not reach even 1 %, although they did receive some votes. In the comments, you were able to mention other characters that could potentially claim 1st place.
Walez actually chose Saitama, but Rimuru Tempest from My Reincarnation as a Slime in Another World, Sung Jinwoo from Solo Leveling, and Gojo as well as Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen also deserved to win.
Craine also thinks that Rimuru Tempest would have a chance. Thus, Rimuru would at least qualify for the top 11. Otherwise, Wang Ling from The Daily Life of the Immortal King and Anos Voldigoad from The Misfit of Demon King Academy would be potential candidates.
Don77 thought of another character who, like Saitama, defeats opponents with one punch. Arale from Dr. Slump was able to split the entire world with a single punch. How would it have looked against other opponents?
We will introduce you to the top three places in more detail. In doing so, two characters especially delivered a tough duel.
3rd place: Luffy (One Piece)
Luffy has a significant distance to the top two places.
Result: 7 % with 23 votes
In third place is our beloved rubber man, Monkey D. Luffy. He dreams of becoming the King of the Pirates. Through his Devil Fruit, he now unleashes unusual powers that exceed the normal strength of opponents.
Luffy is therefore rightly in this ranking. So far, there has hardly been an opponent who could compete with him. Although Luffy had to flee from some opponents like Magellan, at that time he didn’t have the strength that his Devil Fruit currently provides.
2nd place: Saitama (One Punch Man)
Saitama unfortunately misses out on the winner’s podium.
Result: 36 % with 125 votes
Saitama is the strongest hero in the world. No wonder you chose him for 2nd place. The protagonist of One Punch Man trained so hard that he can defeat any opponent with one punch. This even leads to him finding fights boring.
One Punch Man is considered a humorous anime. Nevertheless, the protagonist of the anime would easily outshine many other heroes. Although Saitama can defeat any opponent with one punch, you believe that there is an even stronger contender for him.
1st place: Son-Goku (Dragon Ball)
Son-Goku has made it to the winner of the survey!
Result: 42 % with 147 votes
Son-Goku has made it to the winner’s podium! We have been experiencing the adventures of the Saiyan for several decades, watching him unlock increasingly stronger Saiyan levels. And it seems that his progress has no end.
Within Dragon Ball, Son-Goku is not necessarily the strongest. Thanks to his new Beast Mode, Son-Gohan is considered the new hope for Earth. However, Son-Goku still has a lot to offer and can compete with his son. Retirement is far from being considered!
A Pokémon trainer found his old Gameboy while visiting his parents and turned it on. And in doing so, he rediscovered one of the rarest Pokémon ever.
A visit to the family home can uncover some old treasures. This experience was also made by a Pokémon trainer who found and turned on his old Gameboy during a visit to his parents’ house.
In addition to the fact that the batteries of the Gameboy still worked after 14 years, he was in for an even bigger surprise.
The save file of his old Pokémon game was still functional, despite the considerable time that had passed since the release of Pokémon Red. In this save file, he found an old buddy again – a Mew. And this is no ordinary Mew.

One of the few legitimate specimens
What makes the Mew special? While most Mew in the 1st generation were likely created through tricks, cheating, or cloning, this is a legitimate Mew. This means that the Mew was transferred directly from Nintendo to the Gameboy game.
To obtain such a legitimate Mew, players had to attend specific events that took place in limited numbers around the turn of the millennium. This includes the Pokémon 2000 Stadium Tour that took place in the USA. And it is here that the trainer received his Mew.
Considering the fact that the save files of the old Pokémon games from the 1st generation are lost once the internal batteries of the games fail, there are probably only a few of these legitimate Mew left today.
What does the community say about it? Besides suggestions that the trainer should create a backup of the save file with the Mew, there are also envious voices from the community. Other commentators were reminded of their old times by the trainer’s save file.
Some of the comments say:
I am 34 years old and have a Steam Deck. But I am very jealous right now, writes a commentator on Reddit
Get yourself a backup device and save it, writes another commentator on Reddit
There are hardware backup solutions you can use, recommends another commentator on Reddit
Oh man, I still remember going to the game store and getting my free Mew. You had to insert your cartridge into something and then got a Mew transferred over, recalls another commentator on Reddit
Hopefully, the trainer succeeds in creating a backup of his save file so he can keep his Mew for many more years.
What do you think about the story? Have you made such a find yourself? Do you perhaps even own a legitimate Mew? Feel free to write in the comments. If you prefer to be out and about in Pokémon GO, take a look at the events in May 2024 in Pokémon GO.

On X, a mod is currently exciting fans of One Piece and Elden Ring. The battle of Roronoa Zoro against the giant pirate emperor Kaido makes fans dream of an anime soulslike.
What kind of mod is this? The mod is apparently called the “Work “3 Yonkos” mod by the Spanish modder “Arestame_Arkeid”. The mod turns the “Elden Ring” bosses Godfrey, Radahn, and Malenia into the powerful pirates Whitebeard, Kaido, and Shanks.
The mod originated in August 2022, at that time our colleagues from GamePro reported on it. However, it is currently gaining new attention through X, formerly Twitter.
Presumably, a second mod was used to transform the Tarnished into Zoro.
The mod is making waves amidst the hype for the official DLC “Shadow of the Erdtree”.

As if this battle wasn’t epic enough, Zoro swings not one but two massive blades, reminiscent of the Yoru of the legendary swordsman Mihawk. Kaido, on the other hand, fights with a club and a bottle of sake.
The clip is a recording by YouTuber Herozen. You can watch the whole video here:

Although the video was released in February 2023, it still receives comments today. Many fans express their wish for an official game based on One Piece in this style both under the post on X and under the original YouTube video.
Licensed games based on animes are often more fighting games, gacha games – or a mix of both. Exploring the world of the favorite anime at one’s own discretion, replaying the story, and experiencing action-packed battles is something most fans can only dream of.

cadenz7719: “I would love to see a ‘One Piece’ soulslike, with DLC updates when a new arc ends.” (via YouTube)
Declyn: “I would pay $200 for a ‘One Piece’ game in souls style.” (via X)
Other users point out that it would likely be quite expensive and complicated to produce such a game. So it’s not very likely that fans’ dreams will come true anytime soon. One Piece followers can at least find some solace with Odyssey since early 2023 – and a detailed review of the role-playing game is available on GameStar (PLUS article).
If the pirate emperors are not enough, one can also transform any opponent into one of the toughest bosses in the game: Malenia, Miquella’s blade, is so powerful that one player made it his mission to take her down over and over again. Community legend faces his toughest challenge yet

Are you in the mood for ninja battle action? Then you should check out this Naruto game – for 4 euros you can’t really go wrong.
Video games about anime can generally be categorized into two types. One half is a cheap “cash grab” that wants to make a lot of money with a big name, while the other half is a solid implementation with weaknesses that at least keeps fans of the original entertained for a while.
The fact that games based on anime are considered “basically really good” is rare – but that’s exactly what makes Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 special. The number of players is currently increasing again.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 – Opening Trailer
What kind of game is this? Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is a classic fighting game that you can play either alone or together. In typical fighting game manner, you fight and have a few well-known special moves up your sleeve.
Overall, there are over 100 characters with different abilities and playstyles to choose from – so boredom is not an option, and it takes many, many hours before you truly master a few characters.
Why is the number of players increasing? After reaching about 1,200 to 2,400 concurrent players at peak in recent months, the number has now jumped and multiplied. Just yesterday (May 21, 2024) there were over 5,900 ninja fighters at peak (via steamcharts.com).
It’s probably due to the attractive offer. Because Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is currently discounted by 80 percent on Steam until May 27. You can get the game for 4 euros on Steam.
Although the game is already eight years old, it still looks really solid today thanks to its anime-style “cel shading” graphics. Fans of the anime source material will especially appreciate the closeness to the original in the animations.
Here’s how the reviews look: Looking at the reviews on Steam, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 has an excellent rating. Of all the reviews (over 65,000), 90 percent are positive, giving the game a overall rating of “Very Positive” on Steam.
The extraction shooter “Escape from Tarkov” has gained a lot of sympathy over the years. The shooter from Russia was considered a hard, cool indie variant to western mainstream shooters like Battlefield or Call of Duty. This is changing in 2024: After a mistake, it seems they just can’t manage to create a better atmosphere.
This is the terrible situation: Escape from Tarkov has lost a lot of goodwill with its behavior regarding a special edition:
But all players wanted this new mode. Players felt that they were being forced to pay a lot of money
On top of that, Tarkov had previously sold a $150 version that promised access to all further DLCs — but the developers have now retracted that promise and changed what the $150 version actually includes

The zigzag course at Tarkov is making the situation worse
This was the reaction: People were really angry at the developers Battlestate Games and voiced their discontent very loudly.
This is currently the new problem: The developers announced that they would give buyers of the $150 version, which had become worse due to the new developments, a “compensation.”
But this is proving to be a minefield, with the developers stepping on every single landmine:
Originally, they offered players to upgrade to the new $250 version for “only” $100 – which did not go well at all and had to be withdrawn
Now they have offered them to upgrade for an additional $50.
However, those who already paid $100 for upgrading do not receive their $50 back in cash for overpayment, but rather as a voucher that can be used for other products from Battlestate Games.
This is currently just causing shaking heads (via reddit).
Somehow things are going wrong and backwards at Battle State Games right now.
In FC 24, there are players who seem to be faster than all other players. This is due to a combination of playstyles and acceleration. We show you which players are the super sprinters in Ultimate Team.
What kind of combo is this? The combo consists of 3 playstyles and a specific type of acceleration.
Players who are faster than all others have the following characteristics:
Playstyles
First Touch
Frenzy
Quick Step
Acceleration Type
Sustained (controlled/mostly)
The interplay of all aspects contributes to your player being able to zip past opponents at lightning speed. This combo is particularly effective when your player has already picked up speed.
However, the playstyles in combination with the “Sustained” acceleration type are very rare. Only a few players can showcase them in Ultimate Team as of now.

6 Players who are faster than all other players
Below we present players who feel faster in the game due to their playstyles and acceleration types. The good thing is: At least 2 players are in the lower price category in Ultimate Team. We present the cards and their prices in the list. (As of May 22, 2024)
Only players that you can still purchase at this moment were considered:
Future Stars Højlund (89) – Manchester United: 37,000 coins
Some of these players still need to be equipped with a chemistry style for the “sustained” acceleration type. The chemistry styles to achieve sustained are:
Why are players with this combo so fast? The secret lies in the interaction of the individual components:
First Touch: Allows you to control the ball quickly and transition into a sprint faster.
Quick Step: Lets your player accelerate faster in the first meter and reach their maximum speed more quickly.
Frenzy: Gives you a boost while sprinting with the ball.
These 3 playstyles are ideal for all wingers. What makes the decisive difference, however, is the acceleration type “Sustained”. This allows you to run even faster at top speed.

With a trick, one can bypass the payment system of a well-known laundry company. Two students reported the “error,” but the company did not respond. The two students have now published the hack to draw the company’s attention.No one should long-term benefit from the fraud and deprive the company of its money in this way.
No space for a washing machine or only for a few months in a city, so buying a washing machine does not make sense: There are many reasons why one uses a laundromat instead of having their own machine.
Operators of such laundromats then charge a fee so that users can wash their laundry. Two students have now discovered how to trick the software in a laundromat. They have gone public with it because the operating company did not respond.
The affected company ignored all hints from the two students
What exactly did the two do? As reported by the portal TechSpot, they are two university students from California. Like many others, they use the laundry on campus to wash their clothes. There, you pay money when you want to wash your laundry.
However, instead of paying with cash, the two students decided to use CSC Go: This is an app that connects with “CSC ServiceWorks” machines in regions such as the USA, Canada, and Europe.
When one of the students did not have enough money for the laundry, he ran a script. This activated the machine, and he was able to wash his clothes easily and for free. The two then tested this “error” again and always came to the same result: they can wash their clothes for free in this way. However, that is not the official intention of the system.
This is what the two students did: However, the two did not want to exploit the system and therefore contacted the operating company. But it did not respond to the students’ hints. After more than 5 months, the error still exists.
For this reason, the two students decided to make the error public with the intention that an employee from CSC ServiceWorks would notice the issue. Otherwise, thousands of people worldwide can wash their clothes without spending a single cent.
In Pokémon GO, you will now be rewarded with medals for your routes, but trainers are wishing for something much better. What that is, we have summarized for you here on MeinMMO.
In addition to exploring new paths, the focus has previously been mainly on the pursuit of the precious Zygarde cells and towards the end, the gift exchange with Mateo. But now, medals are also supposed to entice you to use the routes feature more actively. However, the reward is not very well received by the trainers.
We will show you below how trainers are reacting to the new feature and what they are demanding instead.

Trainers wish for better rewards for routes
What kind of medals are these? Anyone who has checked the game in recent days may have already been surprised with their first medal as Navigator-Expert. This was newly introduced for completing routes, and you receive it when you complete 10, 50, 200, or even 600 routes. Thus, the Reddit user oAuraa was able to secure a gold medal right away, as he shows in his post.

How are trainers reacting to the medals? The new feature is causing quite a discussion in the community. While some trainers are happy about the new challenge, others find the goal of completing 600 routes for a corresponding platinum medal to be too high.
As Lightning1999 explains on Reddit: I swear they pick the requirements for each medal arbitrarily. 600 for platinum is such an impossible number. Furthermore, the joy about the new reward is generally limited, as trainers are looking for something better to make the routes attractive for them.
What are trainers demanding? Instead of medals, most players are wishing for better rewards for completing routes. In particular, they would like an improvement regarding the Zygarde cells.
These are needed to be able to transform Zygarde into its other forms. However, these have been very difficult to find in the past. And also special event Pokémon that spawn exclusively on the routes would be an incentive for some to use routes more often. This way, you can read the following in the comments on Reddit:
Mackin-N-Cheese: If Niantic really wants to create interest in routes, they should host an event where the daily Zygarde cell limit is increased from three to ten or more. And that guaranteed for each route traveled. I think that would encourage many trainers who feel that the Zygarde grind is hopeless to give it a try.
d12fsu: I wish they would guarantee a cell for the first 3 completed routes. I have had days where I completed 20 routes and only got one cell. I am no longer looking for routes. It’s not worth the effort.
Flack41940: Or they could make it so that event Pokémon spawn on routes, just like they did with the white-striped Barschuft during the Sinnoh Tour. Routes currently have no point while actually walking them, only at the end. The cell will always spawn at the end, Matteo waits at the end, and you get your completion reward at the end. […] All regionals that can appear are already available to the player, as they are the ones that are already regionally exclusive!
Whether there will be further improvements to the routes in the future remains to be seen. However, if there is any new information regarding this, you will find out about it here on MeinMMO.
How do you like the new medals for routes in Pokémon GO? Do you use the routes feature regularly? And are you also hoping for better rewards? Feel free to let us know in the comments on MeinMMO and exchange views with other trainers about it. By the way: In summer, there are 7 dates in Pokémon GO that you should remember.

XDefiant is facing issues upon release. Many players are unable to play. The head of the shooter responds humorously, stating that his team is already working on a solution.
What kind of game is this? XDefiant is an arena shooter from Ubisoft, which was released on May 21, 2024, as a free-to-play title on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
In XDefiant, you have different factions from Ubisoft titles to choose from, which you can select as playable classes.
Factions include, among others, the Freedom Fighters from Far Cry 6 and the Cleaners from The Division.
Various PvP modes like Domination and Payload are playable.
XDefiant features simple and intuitive weapon handling with low recoil. Additionally, the movement in the shooter is relatively fast.
You can choose from various gadgets like grenades and weapons when assembling your loadout, which you can further modify with different attachments.
In the Call of Duty community, XDefiant has received particularly great attention because it operates without SBMM in casual modes. This system is very unpopular among active players, which is why it was positively received that XDefiant is supposed to have SBMM only in ranked modes.

Servers are struggling
Why is XDefiant unplayable at release? Many players report on social media that they were unable to play upon release on May 22. Apparently, the servers were struggling with issues (via Reddit). While players managed to get into the game, they received the error message that no match could be found.
Mark Rubin, Executive Producer at Ubisoft and the head of XDefiant, has already confirmed that there are server issues and that the team is working on a solution. On x.com, he writes casually: “The matchmaking servers are going boom. We are working on it.”
Many shooter fans are eagerly watching XDefiant and the state of the game’s release. In the first open beta, Ubisoft’s F2P title was able to convince many players. The movement was fast and fluid, the gunplay was successful, and the opportunity to play without SBMM was a blessing for many.
However, in recent tests, XDefiant has been less convincing. The netcode and the social system repeatedly caused problems. The movement was also criticized, feeling different, odd, and less fluid than in the first open beta.
How XDefiant fares upon its full release will be determined as the servers run stable over a longer time and players can get a proper impression. In the open beta, XDefiant impressed MeinMMO editor Dariusz. This positive impression needs to be regained by the shooter: XDefiant shows Call of Duty how good a shooter can be even without a €70 price tag
