13 year old classic dominates the top 5 best time travel animes

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Time travel plays a role not only in real series but also in the anime genre. A character travels to a different era, usually with a specific goal. Currently, Steins;Gate, which is from 2011, is at the top of the best time travel animes.

What is the basis of the ranking? Steins;Gate has landed in 1st place on the anime site MyAnimeList with a rating of 9.07. In the overall ranking of the best animes, the anime even reaches 3rd place, only Frieren and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are better.

The database includes all animes, and there are many users who can give ratings for the series and films. For Steins;Gate, for example, 2.6 million votes were cast, for the positions below, it’s at least 240,000. Since the votes are calculated with the rating, the ranking can be considered representative.

It is noticeable that Steins;Gate appears twice in the top 5 best time travel animes. The anime otherwise faces the following competition:

  • 2nd Place: Gintama the Movie 2 – 8.90
  • 3rd Place: Link Click – 8.68
  • 4th Place: The Tatami Galaxy – 8.56
  • 5th Place: Steins;Gate 0 – 8.53

Other well-known time travel animes like Erased, Inu Yasha, or Tokyo Revengers can only be found in the lower ranks. However, since the ranking updates twice a day, it could be that they slip to other places over time.

Steins;Gate is a time travel classic that fans of the genre should definitely watch:

In Steins;Gate, messages are sent using the microwave

Why is Steins;Gate so good? For many fans, Steins;Gate is considered a masterpiece. In the comments on MyAnimeList, the reviews particularly highlight the following aspects:

  • The well-thought-out story
  • The recognizable characters and their development
  • The emotions that the anime evokes

However, there is also some criticism: The timeline theme is said to be as complex as in Inception, where dreams are embedded within dreams. Furthermore, the story is described as predictable and nothing new in the realm of time travel.

What is Steins;Gate about? The scientist Rintarou Okabe has managed to convert a microwave into a time machine. He uses the machine to send messages to the past. What he doesn’t realize is that he is changing his own timeline!

This leads to several deaths that the scientist now tries to undo. As if that weren’t enough of a problem, the SERN organization becomes aware of his time travel activities. For Rintarou, a literal race against time begins.

Steins;Gate 0 takes place in the same universe. However, it is an alternative timeline. Since we don’t want to go into detail about which timeline this is due to spoilers, we recommend that you watch the anime yourself.

Where can I watch Steins;Gate? Unfortunately, we have bad news: Steins;Gate is currently not available on any German streaming service. If you want to watch the anime, your only option is to buy the DVD or Blu-ray of the series.

Of the animes represented in the top 5, only 2 series are available on Crunchyroll: Link Click and Steins;Gate 0. The latter is also available for streaming on Amazon Prime.

If you can’t get into time travel, perhaps the following isekai animes would be something for you: A new anime from 2021, considered the best isekai of all time after just 2 seasons

Thanks to the latest rule change, DrDisrespect is allowed to be seen on Twitch again – But he is not allowed to perform

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch ban of Herschel “DrDisrespect” Beahm is notorious to this day. Thanks to a new rule change, streamers are now allowed to show the Doc again – but he still can’t return.

What are these new rules? Twitch announced on the evening of April 4, 2024, our time, on X, formerly Twitter, that they are adjusting one of their strictest rules: the one regarding “ban evasion.” From now on, streamers are allowed to show and react to videos and streams of their banned colleagues.

von MeinMMO

However, it is required that one actually reacts to and comments on the shown content. Joint Twitch streams with banned streamers are still prohibited.

This rule change is interesting because Twitch has so far shown little leniency regarding ban evasion:

  • These rules are intended to prevent streamers from evading their bans by going live on another channel or appearing in the stream of a friend content creator.
  • Anyone who brings a banned colleague into their stream can be banned themselves, thus risking a vital source of income.
  • Streamers were even instructed to keep banned users “to the best of their knowledge and belief” out of their streams, mute them, or restrict interaction if they happen to encounter them – for example, at a third-party gaming tournament.

In a comment, Twitch explained that they are adapting to the constantly evolving content on the platform (via X.com).

DrDisrespect was a celebrity on Twitch – His ban remains a big mystery to this day

How does DrDisrespect factor in? The infamous streamer is the reason Twitch tightened the rules regarding ban evasion in 2020. His permanent ban is also the most famous and mysterious in Twitch’s history.

To this day, neither he nor the streaming platform has publicly explained why one of the then biggest streamers on Twitch was suddenly banned in June 2020. However, there is plenty of speculation about the reason for the ban, which has been fueled by hints, such as those from Twitch CEO Dan Clancy recently.

While Amouranth is calmly serving her 10th temporary ban and even the controversial YouTuber IShowSpeed has returned to Twitch, the Doc has been out of the picture for almost 4 years.

Now he is allowed to flicker back across the screens of Twitch viewers.

von MeinMMO

What is DrDisrespect doing? He has been streaming on YouTube since his ban and doing so quite successfully. However, he has a major disadvantage there: YouTube lured successful streamers away from Twitch for big money, but they got the Doc for free. While others secured lucrative exclusive contracts, he was left empty-handed.

When the new competitor platform Kick distributed million-dollar deals in the summer of 2023, the Doc also wanted a piece of the pie and brazenly demanded 50 million dollars.

Helldivers 2: Troopers kill – How to find the robots

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Helldivers 2 there is once again a daily order that you can complete for medals. One of them is to eliminate troopers. How you find these robots is explained in our overview.

Update, February 6, 2026: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.

Troopers, raiders or marauders. Three terms, yet all describe the same target – the foot soldiers of the automatons. The troopers are smaller units of the robots that are equipped either with regular laser weapons, glowing blades, or rocket launchers.

Helldivers 2 offers new orders daily where you can earn medals. One task could be to eliminate troopers. We provide tips on how to do this most effectively.

Effectively kill troopers in Helldivers 2

How to find the troopers: Troopers can only be found in the red sectors of the galactic map in Helldivers 2. You are most likely to encounter them at their bases. They guard their factories or man turrets there.

They are also dropped off by landing ships and can be encountered as patrols. A higher difficulty is not necessary for these enemies to spawn, as they are not considered “Armored Units”.

How to kill the troopers: The troopers are easy to eliminate. They possess no armor and can be sent to the technical afterlife with targeted headshots. Keep in mind that some of the troopers are agile or can attack you from long distances.

The melee fighters are quick and try to slice you open. Therefore, pay attention to your surroundings and use shotguns to tear them apart in close combat.

The rocket launcher troopers are also deadly sniper shooters. If you are not careful and do not have a shield equipped, you could even be killed by one of their shots. Therefore, eliminate the rocket warriors first before focusing on the other units.

This is what the troopers look like

With the weapons, you can’t go wrong with the Breaker, the Liberator, or the Sickle. All the listed guns do their job excellently and shred your robot enemies in seconds.

If you need to reload, you can also use grenades like the G-16 impact. This model requires no fuse time and allows your enemies to explode on impact.

How do I find the troopers most easily? To find the troopers most effectively, you should tackle missions on lower difficulty levels. It is completely sufficient to select “Trivial” or “Easy” level. This way, you won’t face “Heavily Armored Enemies” and can fully concentrate on the troopers without being torn apart.

Steam: 2 brothers worked for over 20 years on a game that made them millionaires – one bought his dream car

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

When brothers Tarn and Zach Adams brought their long-standing Free2Play game Dwarf Fortress to Steam as a premium version in December 2022, it made them millionaires almost overnight. Zach Adams fulfilled a seemingly long-held wish and bought a Honda Civic.

What kind of game is this?

By now, the game is said to have sold over 800,000 copies and is on the wish lists of more than a million players, the brothers revealed to PC Gamer.

This number could significantly increase in the foreseeable future, as on April 17, the highly anticipated adventure mode of Dwarf Fortress is set to enter beta – which has been missing in the premium version so far.

Dwarf Fortress on Steam Announcement Teaser

“I’ve always wanted to have one”

What are the developers doing with their wealth? The Adams brothers seem to have remained extremely grounded so far. In an interview with PC Gamer, Zach Adams stated that he purchased a new house with his wife – he had planned this back in 2022, as their old home had become a bit too small.

In addition, he treated himself to a new car, which is almost a given for new millionaires. However, instead of a Lamborghini or a sky-blue Porsche, Adams made a different choice: “I decided to buy a Honda Civic,” Zach told PCG, “because I always wanted one.”

The Civic has been marketed by Honda since 1972 in now eleven model generations, most of which belong to the modest compact class. However, with the current hybrid model Type R, Honda is almost scraping into the mid-range, as reported recently by the ADAC. It is not known what model the developer owns.

His brother seems to be in a similar situation. Tarn Adams values feeling “comfortable and stable.” When asked if he had plans to reward himself if Dwarf Fortress reaches 1 million units sold, he replied: “I mean, I haven’t really thought about it [reaching a million sales]. Because you wonder: When will that even happen?”

Maybe by the end of April.

Dwarf Fortress promises its players maximum freedom. The simulation is so deep and complex that unexpected problems can arise – such as in the legendary story of the taverns full of dead cats from 2015. However, one idea went too far for the developers, forcing them to step in personally.

            Dragon’s Dogma 2: Gameplay Duration – Here’s how long a playthrough takes

            As Dragon’s Dogma 2 has not yet been officially released, we can only speculate on how long the game may take. According to gameleap.com, they spoke with the director of the RPG about the game’s duration.

            No specific numbers were mentioned, but the length is said to be similar to that of the first installment, which is around 37 hours, and only if you fully dedicate yourself to the main quest. If you take on side quests and explore the world, these hours will increase.

            Those were all the important details you should know about Dragon’s Dogma 2. Will you get the game or would you rather wait for the first impressions of the release? Let us know in the comments!

Shooter legend shroud explains on Twitch why you have no fun with Rainbow Six: Siege

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 3 minutes

The Twitch streamer shroud is an expert in shooters. In the stream, he explained what the biggest problem of Rainbow Six: Siege is.

Who is shroud? Michael “shroud” Grzesiek is a former CS:GO professional and currently a well-known streamer on Twitch.

  • For many fans, shroud is considered a shooter god and has legendary status
  • shroud is primarily known for his gifted aim, which he regularly demonstrates in his streams.
  • On Twitch, shroud has 10.9 million followers and averaged 14,000 viewers over the past 6 months
  • In March 2023, shroud announced that he is working on his own game

What does shroud say about Rainbow Six Siege? While shroud was live streaming on Twitch, a viewer in the chat mentioned that the streamer Summ1t was considering playing Rainbow Six: Siege again, but didn’t want to learn the new maps. Shroud then explained what the biggest problem of Ubisoft’s tactical shooter is.

According to him, it is really bad to learn Rainbow Six: Siege, and you will often lose and die during the process.

Learning R6 [Ed.: Rainbow Six: Siege] is damn terrible! But if you can learn it, it feels really good. To be more clear: When you learn R6, you only lose! […] You will just keep dying over and over, and that sucks! But if you withstand that, it’s good.

Rainbow Six: Siege is known to be not beginner-friendly

Is shroud right? Yes, Rainbow Six: Siege is known for not being very beginner-friendly – even though Ubisoft has been making a real effort to introduce more tools for new players and make it easier for them to get started.

Nevertheless, this mainly applies to players who do not have hundreds or even thousands of hours in this tactical shooter. A player who has been playing at the highest ranks for years is more frustrated with game errors, the current meta, or cheaters.

Nonetheless, the map ban system showed that even experienced players have a problem with learning. New or revised maps like Emerald Plains or Nighthaven Labs were often banned before the players really learned the maps.

Start video
Rainbow Six: Siege kicks off Year 9 with an epic cinematic trailer

Why is Rainbow Six so difficult to learn? There are currently 25 different maps, all with different layouts and sometimes complicated designs. Additionally, you have to learn which walls and floors are destructible, where the spawns are located, and which windows or doors the defenders like to use for counterattacks.

The now over 70 different operators also have various abilities that need to be understood and learned, and they can also bring gadgets like grenades or barbed wire. Moreover, there is a considerable selection of weapons.

Once you have acquired the basic understanding of maps, operators, abilities, weapons, and gadgets, you still need to understand which operator and gadget is useful when and where.

  • Which operator do I play on the map at which spot?
  • Where should which gadget be placed?
  • Which walls do I need to reinforce?
  • Which walls should I better not reinforce?
  • When do I destroy a wall to rotate through the hole, and when do I just make small holes that you cannot walk/jump through?

You can be kicked or shot in Helldivers 2 if you wear the wrong cloak

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

Some players may kick you from the squad in Helldivers 2 if you wear a cloak to honor fallen soldiers.

Why do traitors shoot you? In Helldivers 2, the President of the Over-Earth gifted you a cloak that can be worn to honor the fallen soldiers on the planet Malevelon Creek. Accordingly, since then, there has been the “Malevelon Creek” memorial day.

However, there are now players announcing that they will shoot anyone wearing the new cloak. This announcement also went viral on Reddit:

There are already players reporting on Reddit that they were kicked from a lobby because of the new cloak.

Helldivers 2 – Warbond: Democratic Detonation Trailer

Helldivers on Malevelon Creek fought on the wrong planet

Why is wearing the cloak a problem for some players? The fight on Malevelon Creek made no sense. Some players are convinced that the Helldivers would have been better off on other planets.

As one user explained on Reddit, the armed forces should have either liberated the planet Ubanea or defended the planet Draupnir to maintain the supply lines to planet Tibit.

What about the supply lines? In Helldivers 2, all planets are connected by supply lines. If a new planet is to be liberated by the players, it must be connected to an already liberated planet through the supply lines.

Another player also asked during the ongoing galactic war on Reddit why so many Helldivers were on Malevelon Creek. He also emphasized that players should instead be fighting on Ubanea. At that time, nearly 60,000 players were on Malevelon Creek – without any strategic advantage.

The players who are now betraying the Over-Earth and shooting their comrades believe that the “Malevelon Creek” soldiers have harmed the Over-Earth’s fight, wasted forces, and are traitors themselves.

Why were so many players on Malevelon Creek? On one hand, the supply lines in Helldivers 2 are not easily recognizable. Players depend on external sites or maps if they want to know which supply lines lead to a particular planet.

Moreover, Malevelon Creek has a sort of meme status in the Helldivers 2 community, and there are even players on Reddit who report never having left the planet. Malevelon Creek is a recurring battlefield between the Helldivers and the Automatons and is referred to by some players as “Space-Vietnam”.

Baldur’s Gate 3: Larian surprises a library with a gift, players rave: ‘This is what makes your game so good’

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 3 minutes

A player wanted to acquire Baldur’s Gate 3 for his library but failed in the purchasing process. He contacted the customer service of Larian – and received a surprising response. With his story, he is currently exciting the community.

Larian has created a massive hit with Baldur’s Gate 3, winning big at the Game Awards 2023: The game won in five categories. Game Director Swen Vincke took the stage in his plate armor and was celebrated for it.

Baldur’s Gate conquered Steam on its final release day: The team expected 100,000 concurrent players, but over 700,000 showed up. Even eight months after the release, the developer studio continues to positively surprise the community.

On Reddit, the user “TeenyGremlin” reports how he approached Larian’s customer service with an inquiry. He didn’t expect a response to his “niche question,” but then Larian got back to him and totally blew him away.

Middle finger to the AAA industry: Baldur’s Gate 3 was no coincidence

Larian donates a copy to the library

What was his inquiry to customer service? The user “TeenyGremlin” writes on April 5th on Reddit that Larian’s customer service just blew him away. He works in a public library in the USA. The “tax-funded” institution is not allowed to pay taxes on purchased items, but he wanted to acquire a physical copy of Baldur’s Gate 3 for his library.

So he reached out to Larian’s customer service in January to ask for an alternative billing method or a tax-exempt account in their shop. He submitted the paperwork but didn’t expect Larian, as a Belgian company, to be able to help.

He was “95% sure that the answer would be no” but had to try because he loved the game so much. The silence that lasted three months did not surprise him. “I assumed the answer would either be no or that the strange niche question got lost in someone’s inbox. It wasn’t a big deal, and I knew I had done my best,” he writes.

How did the developers surprise the player? According to the user, Larian is actually sending a physical copy of Baldur’s Gate 3 to the library.

After three months, he received a response to his inquiry:

Today I finally received a response from Larian that they would donate a copy for my library. I am absolutely overwhelmed. Someone took the time to respond to a nearly unanswerable question, months after I had already been sure they had forgotten.

I don’t know if someone has been trying to find an answer to this question for three months, or if it was forgotten and someone just noticed and decided to pick it up again, but I am overwhelmed.

I have never experienced a company that has worked so hard to provide an answer and/or an alternative solution. I know it’s a small thing, but it was so cool.

He writes: “They must know how difficult it is to work in a library where so many sensitive books are lying around.” This is a reference to a scene in Act 3 of the game, a short video about it can be seen on Reddit.

Other users praise the development team for their dedication. Here are a few comments summarized:

  • KnutWhitebear writes: “I always feel happy when I hear such wholesome stories, and I’m glad your library has dedicated staff like you.”
  • Sethroque notes: “Considering the success of the game, your ticket must have been buried under a lot of other inquiries. But with quality work like this, the wait is worth it, very cool.”
  • Darkassassin18E states: “In general, I have really liked how Larian has handled everything related to them so far, and this response from them just emphasizes it even more.”
  • SadakoTetsuwan jokes: “There’s a good chance someone has been trying to find an answer to this question for three months before someone said at lunch, ‘Why don’t we just donate a copy?’ and one person is now halfway to a degree in international tax law […].”
  • shaunwthompson comments: “This is so wholesome and I love it.”
  • frank-1 writes: “Unironically, this is exactly what makes their games so good behind the scenes. Those are good people over there.”

The illustrator of The Pharmacist’s Diaries must be punished – This is what she has done wrong

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

The Pharmacist’s Diaries is currently the talk of the town. The 1st season of the anime has just aired on Crunchyroll, which is why many fans are now switching to the manga to continue following the story. However, the artist of the manga has just been prosecuted because she missed something important.

What happened to the artist? The drawings for The Pharmacist’s Diaries are the responsibility of Nekokurage, who is actually named Erika Ikeda. The tax authority of the Fukuoka region announced on April 1st that the artist was charged on February 29th for violating the Income Tax Law.

  • Ikeda allegedly failed to declare an income of approximately 1.58 million euros.
  • Of the 1.58 million euros, around 290,000 euros were taxable. The undeclared income was earned between 2019 and 2021.
  • As reported by The Japan News, the evaded money was reportedly used for purchasing real estate, among other things.

The anime adaptation of The Pharmacist’s Diaries is currently experiencing great success:

The artist of The Pharmacist’s Diaries has committed tax evasion

Why didn’t she declare her income? According to NHK, Ikeda simply failed to make the tax declaration. She was aware that she should have submitted a tax return. However, she was so busy with the manga that she didn’t have time to speak with her tax advisor.

She posted her apology on X or Twitter:

What kind of penalty did she receive? After receiving the tax office’s instructions, she settled the taxes and penalties. She also hired a tax advisor to help her file her taxes on time. She has not disclosed any further consequences to the public.

She added that this is a purely personal matter. The tax evasion has nothing to do with the original author of “The Pharmacist’s Diaries.” And as it turns out, the tax evasion will not have any consequences for the light novel, the manga, and the currently very popular anime.

The Pharmacist’s Diaries originally began as a light novel, written by Natsu Hyuga and illustrated by Megumi Matsuda. Nekokurage is responsible for the drawings of the subsequent manga, for which Itsuki Nanao serves as the author.

The anime is not only well-rated, but it is also well-received by some writers on the MeinMMO editorial team. Especially the protagonist Maomao makes the anime worth watching. She is a real competitor for Sherlock Holmes, as she solves the most complicated cases in a charming way.

„On so many levels rough“ – HandOfBlood rants against the new football league on Twitch

Thomas Dummer Thomas Dummer Reading time 3 minutes

HandOfBlood has expressed criticism of the Baller League in a livestream on Twitch. He particularly criticizes a seemingly surprising ban on the final of the new football league. He does not hold back and strikes back.

What is HandOfBlood upset about? On Twitch, HandOfBlood voiced his anger about the new streamer league Baller League. The focus of his criticism is a decision that states that there should be no live broadcasts from streamers on the crucial final match day.

What does the streamer have to do with the league? HandOfBlood is the owner and president of Eintracht Spandau, one of the 12 teams in the new league. His team has even earned a spot in the finals among the last 4 teams.

In his role as President Knabe, who caught attention in almost every game, he contributed to the rapidly growing popularity of the Baller League. He accompanied almost every match day with his own stream.

However, HandOfBlood will most likely have to forgo this service for his community on the final match day. This alone provokes him to express some discontent about the actions of the new football league.

You can see the corresponding stream excerpt here:

@einspandau I prefer not to speak. If I speak I’m in big trouble #EINS #ballerleague ♬ Original sound – Eintracht Spandau

“Dumbfounded” HandOfBlood finds behavior “super cheeky”

What does HandOfBlood specifically criticize? The timing of the announcement of the streaming ban seems to be a major problem for the streamer. He emphasizes that he learned on Thursday (referring to Thursday, March 28, editor’s note) that streaming would not be allowed.

He suspects that this decision was made so that all viewers would have to watch the official Baller-League stream (here you go to the Twitch account) for the finale on April 8.

HandOfBlood sees “gruesome behavior on so many levels” in the way the Baller League is handling the streamers. Because besides the fact that the timing of the announcement (only 1 1/2 weeks before the finale) is extremely unfortunate, there is another issue that the streamer finds annoying.

Apparently, such a ban was not even mentioned. A contractual agreement or at least an arrangement at the start of the Baller League would have been “OK” according to Hänno. “But to say that just 1 1/2 weeks before the finale is just crazy,” says the angry streamer.

Note: We have requested a statement from those in charge of the Baller League and will update this section as soon as we receive it.

A few weeks ago, Hänno addressed another issue with the Baller League in his own way: HandOfBlood allegedly leaked the number of the boss of the cool new football league on Twitch – what is behind it?

HandOfBlood draws first consequences, recommends competitors

How does HandOfBlood react to the ban? Although the streamer tries not to blow this problem out of proportion at the end (“It’s not driving me crazy right now”), he still can’t help but throw a jab at the Baller League. He cannot understand why someone would do such a thing.

Therefore, he recommends watching the finale on ProSieben or Joyn, referring to his own references and emphasizing the good cooperation with colleagues there. While he is not officially speaking out against the Twitch channel of the Baller League, a recommendation certainly looks different.

It remains to be seen what impact the conflict between HandOfBlood and the Baller League will have on viewers. A response or statement from the Baller League is still pending.

HandOfBlood made a proper statement at the beginning of the year: HandOfBlood says he is no longer the way he was 3 years ago, wants to come to terms with his past

According to Hyung-Tae Kim, they are currently considering whether to release a major DLC after the launch of the game.

Players can be assured that additional costumes and a New Game + mode will be added after release.

All additional content is supposed to be free. Thus, Stellar Blade will not contain microtransactions, and players will not have to spend any more real money to unlock certain additions after purchasing the game.

We want to make it clear that there are no additional costs for “Stellar Blade” other than the purchase price that players are not aware of.

But there is one exception, as the director admitted: If there are costumes released in collaboration with another game, real money may be required for unlocking them.

So far, no official collaboration between Stellar Blade and another game has been announced. However, this statement suggests that we can expect collaborations with other titles in the future.

Former WoW lead shows his new MMORPG after just 4 months of development

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The new “Ghostcrawler MMORPG” is already in development. There are already screenshots and concepts – but that’s probably not what you expected.

Many know Greg Street as “Ghostcrawler.” For a long time, he was an important member of the developer team for World of Warcraft. After that, he moved to Riot and worked for several years on their “LoL MMORPG” before leaving the studio a while ago to start a new one. For several months now, Fantastic Pixel Castle has been working on its first major project called “Ghost,” which is intended to be an MMORPG.

The game is still in a very early, conceptual phase – but that hasn’t stopped the developers from giving many insights into the game.

What has been shown? In the first four months, the developers spent their time developing a very early prototype version of the game, in which only the simplest, fundamental elements function. This includes movement, simple combat, a health and level system, and some initial abilities. Additionally, players can die – and respawn.

Ghost Screenshot 1
Ghost Screenshot 2
Ghost Screenshot 3

Will the game look like this later? No. All graphics shown in the screenshots are placeholders and come from the standard database of Unreal Engine 5. The actual assets still need to be developed. This is just a playable prototype to test initial concept ideas.

What is so unusual about this? For large games, especially MMORPGs, it is common to share images with the public relatively late in the development process. Typically, the game is already far along, details like the art style or character design are finalized, and a trailer is generally well-edited to appear convincing.

However, for Ghost, it seems they are tossing all of these norms aside.

Ghost Concept Art 3
Initial concept drawings at least vaguely hint at the direction the project intends to take.

How far along is the development really? Still “in its infancy,” and even that might be a generous exaggeration. So far, discussions are ongoing about the most fundamental mechanics of the game and the conceptualization of the game world and story. Many developers in the team are still missing – as they are still looking for people to ultimately work on turning the ideas into reality.

Why are the developers doing this? They reveal this directly in their own blog post: They want to involve the community and potential players as early as possible in the development, even if the release of the game is many years in the future.

That strong engagement of fans in development can have many advantages and ultimately lead to success has recently been demonstrated by Baldur’s Gate 3. Here, players could already play an early access version years in advance and give plenty of feedback, which ultimately led to one of the best RPG experiences of all time.

While it’s obviously nice to see a game in such an early state, it also means that it will likely be many years before a playable version lands in the hands of fans. One should definitely have patience – because in the coming years, “Ghost” is unlikely to be released.

What the “blue zones” and “red zones” in Ghost are about has already been revealed.

How to get the Twitch Drops for Pokémon GO?

You need several things to receive the code. In summary:

  • You need a Pokémon Trainer Club account
  • You need a Twitch account
  • Then you need to link the accounts, which can be done on the official Pokémon site (rewards.pokemon.com).

Once you have done that, you need to watch the corresponding stream for 30 minutes. In the “Drops & Rewards” menu on Twitch, you can track how much you have watched and how much is still left.

  • After completion, you will receive a drop, which will be stored in the “Inventory” of your Pokémon account. You can also check this again on the “Rewards” page.
  • There you can now display the code.
  • You then enter that in the Pokémon GO web store to redeem it in the game.

So several steps are necessary the first time, especially if you don’t have the corresponding accounts, but you want the reward.

Alongside the Pokémon European Championship, there is currently a lot happening in Pokémon GO. For example, you can look forward to the Community Day Classic this weekend, and the current event “Appropriate Surprises” is still ongoing.

New MMORPG on Steam wants to prove that it is not the next The Day Before – Shows gameplay that everyone is waiting for

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

The Quinfall has announced its second closed beta test. In this, players can convince themselves of what the MMORPG has to offer. The development team has also released two new gameplay videos that showcase the main features in moving images.

Why are the videos so important? The two videos contain the main features that the development team has touted about the MMORPG. They run completely without a narrator, only accompanied by soothing background music.

The team from Vawraek is countering rumors through the videos that it is to become the next The Day Before. Players have doubted in advance whether the MMORPG will actually appear as the developers have advertised. However, the videos look so good that many of the doubts should be dispelled.

You can watch the first of the two videos here:

The Quinfall shows gameplay of the tutorial, housing, and crafting

The Quinfall shows housing, crafting, and more

What is shown? The first video deals with the tutorial of the game. We see what possibilities arise with the character editor. We can customize details such as facial features and physique, even the hair can be adjusted via the editor.

The video then shows the accepting of quests and small battles. The world map is briefly visible as well.

Players can have their own house in The Quinfall. The interior of such a house is also briefly shown. Then the video focuses on crafting. It works exactly as you would expect: There is a list of items that we can craft. Once we have gathered all the required materials, the desired object can be synthesized after the waiting period.

The Quinfall: The Building in the Trailer

In the second video, the team focuses on the construction of the guild building. With a guild, players can claim a piece of land and build the house of their dreams on it. First, the necessary materials must be collected for building.

Then the building proceeds as we know it from many survival games like Enshrouded: Players can place floors and walls block by block to furnish the building with furniture afterward.

All these features are likely to be available for testing in the upcoming closed beta. Since there is no embargo, they can share their experiences directly with others. Thus, we will find out if the videos shown correspond to the real gameplay. The first impression of the shown material is extremely positive.

Call of Duty is reportedly getting a completely new mode where you’ll have to prove your movement skills

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is supposed to have a parkour mode where you overcome obstacles and climb higher.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, Season 3 is now live. There are new maps, weapons, and modes. However, just in time for the start of the season, a leak emerged about a new mode that is currently missing from the game.

Here you can see the trailer for Season 3:

Start video
CoD MW3: Season 3 Multiplayer Trailer

Leak reveals new parkour mode

What kind of leaked mode is this? The leaker and data miner “BobNetworkUK” shared a clip of the supposedly upcoming game mode “Get High” on X.com (formerly Twitter). The gameplay shown reminds of “Only Up!” – the game that drove numerous Twitch streamers to despair in summer 2023.

In Get High, you apparently need to navigate a kind of obstacle course in a colorful, neon-colored world that could also be from Tron Legacy. The goal is to reach a height of about 283 meters without falling.

The clip also shows rotating and moving objects. Some levels move up and down, others back and forth. There’s also a platform that rotates sideways like a barrel while the player runs along it. Additionally, the player in the video shoots at targets that trigger specific actions, such as lowering a platform.

Will the mode stay permanently? No, probably not. We can’t say for sure since it’s still just a leak, but the data miner mentions in their post on X.com that it is likely a “Limited-time mode,” so a time-limited mode.

When will the mode come? The leaker did not give an exact date, but it is expected to be playable during the 4/20 event in Modern Warfare 3. Accordingly, a release around April 20 is to be anticipated.

Has there ever been a mode like this? No, there hasn’t been a parkour mode in Call of Duty where you have to reach a specific height and keep climbing higher.

However, there was a mode called “Free Run” in Black Ops 3 that went in a similar direction. Back then, you had to overcome an obstacle course and try to reach the finish as quickly as possible.

In Free Run, there were also sections where you had to jump over obstacles or shoot at a kind of target. Wallruns also played a big role. The crucial difference, however, was that you only had to reach a target and not a specific height.

Unlocking the Illusionist in Dragon’s Dogma 2 – How to Get the Class

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Dragons Dogma 2 you can unlock the Illusionist, but not right away. We will show you everything about the Trickster and how you can activate this class.

How do I unlock the Illusionist? To unlock the Illusionist, you must first follow the main quest until you find the checkpoint “Rest Town”. From there, you need to cross a barricade and proceed further into the rocky area heading south.

If you continue along the road, you will eventually reach the location “Enoa’Battahl Forest”. Now take the next small country road heading east until you discover a shrine. This shrine is called “Reverent Shrine” and houses an old lady in ghost form. Speaking to the woman known as “Luz” will teach you the new class.

Now you just need to go to a class guild, spend 200 discipline points, and you can then equip the class.

For better visualization, we have marked the shrine on the map:

Dragons-Dogma-2-Map-Location-Trickster-Laufbahn
The marked location in red is the shrine (via fextralife.com)

What can the Illusionist do? The Illusionist is not a direct fighter but rather a support role in the party. His incense does little damage but can deceive enemies, leading them to their doom.

Imaginary platforms and walls can also be created by the Trickster to let enemies jump to their deaths thanks to a ghost projection.

If you also want to explore unknown territory, you can create a “ghost” that can scout the surroundings and spot dangers within a large radius. The Trickster is a creative class that can provide variety.

WoW: Player is so nice that he gets banned

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In World of Warcraft, you can be banned for many reasons – but apparently also for being too nice.

If you mess around in World of Warcraft, you are usually reported quite quickly by other players and soon face a punishment. Everything from minor warnings to long account suspensions is on the table. However, there are also players who are unjustly banned, sometimes for the most absurd reasons.

Start video
WoW: Patch 10.2.5 – Release trailer for the Seed of Renewal

In the WoW subreddit, a fairly popular player reports that he was unjustly banned. The reason? He was just too nice and offered things for free that others charge several hundred thousand gold pieces for.

Why was he banned? According to his own statements, Critzler was banned due to mass reporting. The exact reason is not entirely clear, but upon closer inspection, it seems obvious. Critzler helps people defeat the current final boss Fyrakk on heroic difficulty to achieve a special accomplishment.

This is a service that other guilds often promote in the service channel and charge between 80,000 and 200,000 gold pieces per participant, depending on additional services.

However, since Critzler hosts these raids without asking for gold, he is reducing the income of other guilds that want to profit from it.

The assumption is therefore obvious: Corresponding guilds have reported him en masse to achieve an automated ban. That this works has been proven repeatedly in recent months, such as in the case of the elemental gem cartel. Anyone who wanted to undercut the market was simply systematically reported by jewelcrafters.

This is especially frustrating because Critzler received automated responses when he contacted customer service. The wait times for processing were so long that the 10-day ban expired before he received a proper response. Thus, it is doubly frustrating for Critzler as he missed the entire Hearthstone event and some exclusive rewards.

Is that really the case? Of course, it’s conceivable that there was another reason for the mass reports against him in this case. After all, there have been more cases in the past where people tried to exploit community calls to get unbanned quickly.

von Alexander Mehrwald

However, since Critzler’s ban has already expired and he seems to want to draw attention to the general problem of mass reporting, his story sounds at least plausible. In the comments, several people also mention him positively, who he has already helped in achieving the accomplishment for the current final boss.

In recent months, there have been recurring frustrating experiences reported by the community. Automated responses to tickets that do not address the case at all lead to anger and dissatisfaction.

Not only bans take a long time in WoW – farming a toy that takes over 6 years also takes time.

Diablo 4: The new hell flood wants to hunt you down and take you out – players love it

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 3 minutes

The test server in Diablo 4 has been live for a few days now, and players are testing the features for Season 4. One feature that has particularly caught their attention is the “new” Hell Tide with its monster density and the spitting worms.

On April 2nd, the PTR went live (Public Test Realm), and since then players have been able to try out the features that will be introduced in Season 4 of Diablo 4. The update has brought numerous changes and content to the game, and some experts say: This could be the best season.

Especially the changes to the loot system seem to please many players. Another feature currently receiving positive feedback is the Hell Tides. With Season 4, many changes are expected, and the community appears very satisfied.

The leaderboards were introduced in Season 3 of Diablo 4 and will remain in place afterwards. The video provides more information about the leaderboards:

Good monster density, spitting worms, and interesting loot

What do players love about it? On Reddit, the user “OLSZu” asked the Diablo 4 community on April 3rd what users think of the new Hell Tide on the PTR. He personally loves the “new Hell Tide” and thinks the “threat meter” is fantastic.

Here, the monsters no longer wait somewhere to be slaughtered by the players; instead, “hell wants to hunt and kill you,” he writes.

The top comment on the post comes from “Big-Instruction1745.” He writes: “I played for just a few minutes, and then this giant worm appeared and threw villains at me.”

Out of nowhere, a giant worm shoots up from the ground and spits out monsters. And you’re right in the middle of it.

One user says: “10/10 Hell Tide changes.” And someone comments, “The [monster] density is incredibly high. Feels great.” The user “TacoFoxx21” notes: “I’m getting my ass kicked, and I love it.”

Someone comments that the new Hell Tide is awesome and a lot more fun. It is now also interesting for loot, as monsters drop item level 925 loot from level 95. It has now become an endgame activity that is truly worthwhile and not just for collecting materials.

“kestononline” writes under the post: “It is definitely a NO-AFK zone now lol. I really like that pretty much everything you interact with, like plants, minerals, etc., can be an ambush from a bunch of monsters. Finding a safe spot to teleport to is a bit tricky now.”

No time to open chests

Are there other opinions? There are indeed users who criticize something about the “new” Hell Tide. “DukeVerde” thinks the new boss is way too tough for his level. People aren’t complaining yet because they have good gear from the PTR. He believes that when it comes to release, many will criticize this.

And “Disciple_of_Erebos” finds the new Hell Tide very good, but he thinks, “if you are near a chest, no monsters should be able to spawn.” He has often experienced being unable to open chests because his threat level was so high and monsters kept spawning. It bothers him to have collected a lot of embers only to lose them at the end of the Hell Tide because there is “no 3 seconds to open the chest.”

The Hell Tide will also be available starting Season 4 on World Tiers 1 and 2. Along with the higher monster density, there will also be specific Hell Tide tasks for the Whispering Tree. Overall, there’s quite a lot happening when you walk through the areas.
