Monster Hunter World has now sold over 25 million copies, but when will it continue?

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Monster Hunter World was released in 2018 and was a great success for a franchise that was previously quite small in the West. The game is still played by many people today, and we won’t have to wait too long for the next installment in the series.

Capcom posted today on March 12, 2024, the news that Monster Hunter World has sold over 25 million copies. This makes it the most successful Capcom game of all time. The calculation includes the base version of the game as well as the Iceborne Master Edition. The entire series reached over 97 million sales by the end of 2023.

Monster Hunter World is ahead of Capcom successes like Resident Evil 5 or Street Fighter 2. The special thing about these large sales is that the game will turn eight years old in August and recently experienced a small hype again.

Now, of course, the question arises as to how the series will continue. At the Game Awards, we got a glimpse of Monster Hunter Wilds.

A new Monster Hunter title is expected in 2025

While the trailer doesn’t show much, it does offer a glimpse of a larger world. Whether it will be an open world or whether we will continue to hunt monsters in larger areas is still unknown. However, one thing is clear from the trailer: Capcom is working on a true sequel to Monster Hunter World, with all its production values.

When exactly the game will be released is still unknown. However, 2025 has been confirmed as the year. New information for the game is expected to follow in the summer of this year.

In the meantime, versions of Monster Hunter Stories 1 and 2 for current consoles will be released. These are spin-offs of the main games that can be most closely compared to Pokémon. So, for those who can’t wait and have never played these games, it’s worth taking a look at the new versions.

Netflix: A new sci-fi series from Germany tells the story of a missing astronaut, reminiscent of Interstellar

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

German productions are mostly comedies. Whether in cinema or streaming, they tend to focus on lighter material. Dark proved that Germany can also handle more complex science fiction. A new series on Netflix aims to engage with sci-fi as well.

What is Das Signal about?

  • The astronaut Paula returns from her mission in space
  • Her husband Sven and their daughter Charlie are already waiting for her return
  • But their plane from Chile to Germany suddenly disappears and no one knows what happened.

The series tells the story of this family in three timelines. The focus is on Paula’s time on the space station, the time before the mission, and the consequences of the disappearance. A major mystery serves as the red thread of the story, which runs through the four episodes.

For those who want to catch up on a few sci-fi classics, they can check out this list:

The Signal – Trailer for the German science fiction series with Florian David Fitz

A Mix of Sci-Fi, Drama, and Mystery

Florian David Fitz plays the father Sven, who has to cope with the situation after his wife Paula’s disappearance. His daughter Charlie struggles with the loss. Fitz manages to portray the concerned and caring father convincingly in the series. His love for his daughter is always believable, and there is chemistry in the flashbacks with his wife Paula.

Paula, played by Peri Baumeister, despite being surrounded by her astronaut colleagues, conveys a sense of loneliness, which preserves the isolation of space. The mystery and the discovery she makes are thrilling and leave viewers eagerly anticipating the next episode.

However, the series is not only about science fiction. As mentioned earlier, a significant part of the series deals with processing loss, the anger it can cause, and the connections that are formed between the characters.

At times, the series recalls sci-fi masterpieces like Interstellar or Arrival, but it never reaches their epic scale or the stunning visuals and ideas. Overall, the series lacks visual creativity. While the mood and emotions come across, more experimental courage would have benefited the series.

Das Signal succeeds in bringing together mystery, science fiction, and drama. The actors are convincing, and the short duration of the series ensures that nothing feels too long. However, the series would have benefitted from developing its own ideas and experimenting more visually.

For German film and series culture, such a production after Dark is encouraging. For those open to anime, they should also check out this sci-fi series: An anime on Netflix reminds me of Blade Runner and captivated me every second

Update, 21:45: The servers are back online and you can log in to Destiny 2 again. As soon as the patch notes are published, we will link them in our article. Have fun!

This is what you need to know today: Destiny 2 will be undergoing maintenance today. This means the servers will go offline, and you will not be able to play for a while. This is a longer downtime that will be over in a few hours.

MeinMMO will keep you updated. We will let you know how long the downtime will last. Additionally, we will update this article as soon as there is new information.

Maintenance on March 12 – All Times for Server Down

These times are important today: Bungie informs its players via x.com (formerly Twitter) about the exact downtime. The servers are planned to be down for 3 hours and 15 minutes today.

This is the maintenance schedule:

  • The background maintenance starts on all platforms at 2:00 PM.
  • At around 2:45 PM, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
  • At 6:00 PM, the shooter should be back online and you can log in again.
  • The maintenance will continue in the background until 8:00 PM.
Consider this during downtimes: As long as background maintenance is ongoing, there may be connection issues within the game. Additionally, there may be login queues because Bungie gradually opens access to the servers to avoid problems from high server load. Therefore, you might have to wait longer until you are back in the game.

Also, please keep in mind that third-party applications and the official companion app may also not be reachable for a while, so you may not be able to use them.

Changes with the new update in Season 23

The following issues are known: Even in the Season of Wishes, there are many problems that players are complaining about. Bungie has a few on their radar (via bungie.net), but it is not known which of them will be fixed. The following bugs could be addressed:

  • Major changes regarding the sandbox for PvP are to be rolled out
  • The fireteam finder is missing some options like adding Bungie friends
  • Some legendary emotes are sorted with exotic emotes
  • Veist rifles can only be partially rotated when inspected
  • The shotgun “Striving of the Mind-Turner” no longer glows when fired
  • Some rocket launchers are no longer displayed when inspected
  • Old artifacts are still displayed in players’ inventories
So you don’t get bored

Last Epoch will weaken OP builds because players want it that way

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 3 minutes

In Last Epoch, it is possible to build quite strong builds due to bugs – this may change soon. The developers have sought feedback from the community and are now planning bug fixes for builds that accidentally perform too strongly.

Due to a bug, you could build a strong build in Last Epoch, which actually wasn’t possible at all. For another crazy build, you didn’t even need weapons, yet you were still stronger than with most builds that require weapons. However, it is necessary to equip special gloves for this.

The developers of Last Epoch have asked the community for feedback and conducted a survey focused on bug fixes and balance changes. Their conclusion is: The bugs that allow for overpowered builds will be fixed.

The item factions help you acquire necessary items for your builds. We explain in the guide, which faction you should join. You can find out more about the factions in the video:

Start video
Last Epoch: Faction of the Merchant Guild or Circle of Fate – These are the advantages

The community does not want overpowered builds due to bugs

What did the survey reveal? According to the developers, opinions diverged significantly on some points. Two areas that the community clearly desires are the following:

  • The fixing of bugs that cause skills or items to be excessively powerful.
  • A prior notice when a bug fix or balance change will nerf an overpowered build.

What are the developers planning? On March 11, the developers announced in the forum that they intend to tackle overpowered builds in Last Epoch with upcoming bug fixes. This week they plan to incorporate two major fixes into the patch – in addition to the change to the “Dive Bomb” ability of the Falconer.

The two bug fixes primarily concern the abilities of the Sorceress and the Runemaster. In their post, the developers emphasize that these are bug fixes:

In line with the initial feedback, we want to emphasize that these changes are being made as bug fixes and not as balance changes. Their purpose is not to balance builds with these passive skills or abilities, but to fix bugs that inadvertently affect their power.

The developers of Last Epoch

Builds that do not owe their strength to game bugs will not be nerfed. Already on March 8, the developers wrote in the Last Epoch forum that they would “not make adjustments to skills and items that perform above average but are not bugs.”

How does the community respond? Under the forum post from March 8, several users are calling for various nerfs for certain classes, such as the Sorceress and the Falconer. Another user points out that all builds should be “playable and enjoyable”.

And someone writes that they should nerf the strong builds so that players have to “play”. This could refer to overpowered builds where players do not have to do much themselves because skills or companions do the work for them.

Many from the community reacted positively to the post from March 11, praising the developers and the planned changes. Several users write there “Great W!”, which means: big win (success).

A user writes in his comment: “Great W for Eleventh Hour Games here. The community has spoken.” Another user expresses in a comment his concern that they might “nerf builds into the ground.” Several users respond to him that it is not a nerf, but a bug fix.

To what extent the planned bug fixes will affect the strongest builds in Last Epoch remains to be seen. When the fix will be deployed this week is still unclear. Currently, mages and especially Runemasters seem to lead the top builds.

But Acolytes, in the form of Sorceresses and Necromancers, also feature prominently in many lists. You can find the best builds for each class here: Last Epoch Tier List: Best Builds & Classes in Endgame

Helldivers 2 adjusts the balancing again, makes one of the nastiest enemies weaker – Patch Notes

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 3 minutes

In Helldivers 2, there are two enemy factions that you must deal with while spreading democracy: the Bugs and the Robots. The latter pose a particularly tough challenge in combat, but the Bugs also have some unpleasant characters among their ranks. One of the nastiest Bugs has now received a nerf.

Which opponent is being referred to? The Troopers are among the strongest Bugs you can encounter in Helldivers 2. Although they do not spawn in hundreds, you can inflict no damage to them with normal weapons when shooting them in the face due to their massive armor.

Troopers are large, somewhat resemble armored cockroaches, and attack you with a brutal charge assault. They run at you frontally like wild bulls and try to trample you down.

However, Troopers do not have a ranged attack. Unlike the huge Acid Titans, they cannot spit deadly acid.

Helldivers 2: Patch Notes for Patch 1.000.102

How are the Troopers being nerfed now? The Trooper now takes less damage when shot in the head. A single shot with the recoil-less rifle or the one-time anti-tank weapon can eliminate it already.

Additionally, the spawn rate of Troopers and Acid Titans has been reduced on difficulty levels 7, 8, and 9. However, this does not mean that you will encounter fewer enemies overall. The developers emphasize that they have only adjusted the distribution and not decreased the total number. You could now encounter more Acid Spitters or other Bugs than before the patch.

Before the patch, it was common to shoot anti-tank projectiles at a Trooper’s legs if you wanted to eliminate it. For instance, 2 rockets from the one-time anti-tank weapon would break the armor on the legs, allowing you to inflict damage with normal weapons at the break points afterward. This is still possible, but the head is now also meant to be a worthwhile target.

Besides the changes to the Troopers, the patch only fixed 3 minor bugs, but we want to provide you with the complete patch notes:

Patch Notes for Patch 1.000.102

Balancing:

The amount of heavily armored targets that spawn at higher difficulty levels, especially with Terminids, was a major topic of discussion both online and internally. The intent is for groups to have to bring some kind of anti-tank capabilities, but not to the extent seen before.

  • Reduced spawn rate of Troopers and Acid Titans on difficulty level 7 and above.
  • Reduced the risk of spawn spikes from Troopers and Acid Titans.
  • Note: The distribution of enemy types has been changed, not the difficulty reduced. Instead, expect that other enemy types will appear in larger numbers.
  • Using heavy anti-tank weapons on the legs instead of the obvious weak point seems to contradict expectations. Nothing has changed on the legs of the Trooper, but the health of the Trooper’s head has been lowered. A well-placed shot from a recoil-less rifle or a one-time anti-tank weapon can kill a Trooper instantly.

Fixes:

  • Missing text on several HUD/UI elements has been fixed.
  • Several inconsistencies between subtitles and voices in the news videos have been fixed.
  • Various crashes mid-game and during mission deployments have been fixed.

The team felt that the modifier had not been well explained by them in advance and thus caused mainly frustration among players. This change had been unintentionally forgotten in the last patch notes, which is why Arrowhead has provided it this time.

However, the focus of patch 1.000.100 was on a completely different topic. The developers nerfed the railgun, the breaker, and the shield generator backpack, attracting community discontent: Helldivers 2: Patch Notes – New update nerfs the best weapons and introduces deadly weather events

The trailer of a new game on Steam has already received over 17 million views – What is behind the hype about Kingmakers?

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 3 minutes

The first trailer for the upcoming Steam game Kingmakers has already achieved over 17 million views on X. But what is behind the hype? The developers shared more about their ambitious game in an interview.

What game is it about? Kingmakers is a new game from the developer Redemption Road. A few weeks ago, the first trailer for this strange genre mix was released. At first, the initial images gave the impression that this was a classic RTS game with a historical setting.

However, the impression changes immediately when a truck with a heavily armed futuristic soldier drives into the scene.

Kingmakers begins in the 15th century in Great Britain. The historical backdrop is the Hundred Years’ War. One should probably not expect much historical accuracy beyond that.

After all, players travel from the future to the past to lend a hand to the armies there – or to fight against them. Players choose sides with the English, Welsh, or Scots and support the respective army with modern firearms.

Players have apparently dreamed of such a concept for a long time. The interest online is overwhelming. Alone on X, the trailer has already achieved over 17 million views (as of March 12, 2024).

Start video
In Kingmakers you must change the course of history

Battles with up to 4,000 characters

What do the developers plan with the game? The relatively small team of 20 to 25 people has big plans for Kingmakers. This impression was also formed during a conversation the developers had with Digital Foundry on YouTube.

The team wants to create a real next-gen game using the Unreal Engine. This will allow them to portray massive battles with up to 4,000 NPCs at the same time. In the midst of it, players fight alone or with up to three other comrades against the historical armies.

Thanks to modern weapons such as pistols, rifles, or shotguns, players seem to have an advantage over sword and lance fighters at first glance. Nevertheless, according to the developers, the game should not be too easy. When an entire army rushes at you, it can indeed be intimidating.

The second aspect of gameplay, namely castle building, is carried out just like commanding one’s troops from an isometric perspective. However, anxious players cannot just hide in their own castles forever or control the battles from above.

As a soldier from the future, you must take up arms yourself and march into battle: “You will travel back in time and change history,” the developers say.

The concept as well as the impressive presentation with its giant battles could be reasons for the hype. Apparently, many players desire this initially absurd mix of historical settings and modern shooter gameplay.

Asmongold thinks: “This game will change our lives”

What does Asmongold think about the game? The Twitch streamer has also taken a look at Kingmakers and could hardly hide his enthusiasm in a YouTube video. The game looks like a successful genre mix and offers both action and strategy.

According to him, Warcraft 3 managed this very well, even though the two games differ significantly in terms of gameplay. And even though there is no official release date for Kingmakers yet, Asmongold is already dreaming of the various races and historical figures.

For example, he wishes for Hannibal and his elephants to be included in the game. Whether the great general fits into the British scenario remains to be seen. A lot seems possible in Kingmakers.

Asmongold will definitely play Scotland. He is also impressed by the technical ambitions of the developer. The game is set to be released not only on Steam but also on consoles and the Steam Deck.

In all cases, it should run at smooth 60 FPS. The levels are partly handcrafted and partly procedurally generated. However, the animations, hit feedback, and sheer number of NPCs leave Asmongold skeptical about whether everything will run smoothly in the end.

All in all, he concludes: “This game will change our lives.” The game is expected to be released in 2024. By then, we will know more. A German indie hit starts in early access, receiving directly 96% positive reviews on Steam and reaching a milestone.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Releasing the character editor two weeks before the release was a brilliant idea

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 3 minutes

The character editor of Dragon’s Dogma 2 is already available for free, although the actual game won’t be released until March 22. MyMMO author Christoph Waldboth believes that Capcom is doing everything right – and is only fueling the hype around the RPG further.

When Dragon’s Dogma 2 is released on March 22, 2024, there is one thing I want most: to start playing. Yes, I’m one of those players who usually doesn’t spend too much time creating their character.

Depending on the scope of an editor, I never spend more than ten minutes in it. Not because I don’t enjoy creating my character, but because I generally can’t wait to dive straight into the game.

It works in my favor that Capcom has decided to make the extensive editor available before release for Dragon’s Dogma 2. And it’s free, mind you. This is a clever marketing move that works.

Start video
Dragon’s Dogma 2 showcases action-packed battles with a new class in the new trailer

I can finally take my time

I have already launched the editor and created two characters. On one hand, my Awakened, which is my player character, and on the other hand, my main Pawn. That’s what the AI companions in the game are called.

And since I don’t have the quiet voice in the background urging me to jump into the game quickly, I’m taking my time. Taking my time for me means: about an hour per character. That is, as mentioned at the beginning, quite long by my standards.

Why do I take so long? The numerous options to customize my character keep me engaged. They allow me to try out different combinations and choose details like the character’s walk. How high does the character hold their elbow? How far does the eyebrow protrude?

These are small details that will hardly be noticeable in the ongoing game. Nevertheless, I get lost in the system of sliders and boxes. When the game is released, I can pick up my characters and jump right in. The anticipation for it has already risen because I know with whom I will start the adventure.

Other players may feel the same way I do. Those who know for sure that they will play Dragon’s Dogma 2. Everyone else now has the opportunity to create a character without spending any money. And what characters they are!

Already during its first presentation, the editor made an impression with its enormous scope. The numerous customization options allow us players to create very detailed characters.

I can recreate myself – or for example, a character from pop culture. How well this works is currently shown by countless players on Reddit.

Whether it’s Timothée Chalamet, who is currently seen in Dune 2, or Geralt of Rivia: the community has been experimenting in the editor all weekend long. The results are truly impressive.

And since I can recruit other players’ Pawns in Dragon’s Dogma 2, just like in the first part, it might happen that I wander around with an absurd mix of characters from pop culture.

Having the Witcher in your party? No problem.

Why is it therefore brilliant to release the editor now? Firstly, the gaming press is reporting on it. Secondly, players have the opportunity to already weigh in. The community is already interacting with each other before the release. For instance, on Reddit.

This brings a lot of attention to the game from users’ side – even before it has officially been released. The anticipation for the release is rising as people hype each other up.

It could very well be that some players get carried away by the excitement and only then make a purchasing decision. And that without much advertising effort. Capcom simply allows the players to take the lead and has enough confidence to say: We believe that our editor will convince you. Among the inspirations for Dragon’s Dogma 2 was Rockstar’s GTA 5.

Diablo 4: Players score with exploits on the leaderboard – Blizzard responds, says: They are all out

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 2 minutes

In Diablo 4, the leaderboards were introduced and players quickly exploited a glitch to boost their points in the Gauntlet. Blizzard has now found a solution to combat this.

The leaderboards are the rankings in Diablo 4 where players can compete against each other. They were introduced on March 5 with patch 1.3.3, and within less than a week, players discovered an exploit to unfairly accumulate points.

What kind of exploit was it? We won’t describe it in detail, but there is a way to gain an unfair advantage. This allowed players to quickly attract all enemies in the dungeon and also receive significant buffs – as Diablo expert Rob 2628 found out.

On Reddit, the community discussed the unfair strategy on March 10 in a post. Blizzard is not known for its mercy when it comes to exploiting glitches: Today, March 12, community manager Adam Fletcher responded to the post with a comment. Apparently, the team has already planned a fix.

What does the developer say? Diablo 4’s community manager, Adam Fletcher, writes in his comment under the post that the team has found a solution for the exploit. He notes that “anyone who uses this method to generate a score will not appear on the leaderboards in any way.”

It remains to be seen when the hotfix will be implemented and how the leaderboards will be affected and corrected. The leaderboards will be reset tonight, and the new challenge will start with a “fresh” dungeon at 7:15 PM.

What does the community say about this? Adam Fletcher’s comment has received 9 upvotes so far. One user responds: “This is great news. Thanks for the update.” Another user uses the comment to call for an improvement, writing that it is a “no-go” for top players to set their profiles to private as if they are using secret gear in the Gauntlet.

He suggests that it should be a requirement to set the profile to public to participate in the Gauntlet, as “there is absolutely no reason to hide your profile unless you really have something to hide that abuses game mechanics.”

Battlefield 2042: Season 7 brings new maps and weapons – Everything you need to know

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

Battlefield 2042 wants to take you to a new map with Season 7, but also an old familiar map has a special appearance. Additionally, you can look forward to new weapons and vehicles. Here you will find everything you need to know.

Season 7 of Battlefield 2024 is about to begin, and once again the futuristic shooter will provide you with new content.

After Season 6 took you underground to facilities in Scotland with the map “Secret”, Season 7 is all about a desert landscape.

Battlefield 2042: Season 7 – Here are the new maps

What kind of new map will this be? With Season 7, Battlefield 2042 will receive a new map called Haven. The focus of Haven is the city “El Alicanto”, located in the midst of the searing hot Atacama Desert.

The gameplay focus of the map is on urban warfare, so you will really be in the center of a city with battles between houses and shops. For example, a gas station and the city center play an important role on the map.

According to community manager Tom Straatman, the design of the map is inspired by some maps that Battlefield veterans should still remember, including Arica Harbor (Bad Company 2), Strike at Karkand (Battlefield 2), and Amiens (Battlefield 1).

You can get a first impression of the new map in the gameplay trailer for Season 7:

Which old map is getting a special appearance? Anyone who plays Battlefield 2042 extensively will be familiar with the map “Hourglass”. However, the desert map no longer looks the same as it did at its original first release, as it has since been overhauled by the developers.

Before the overhaul, there was an area on the map with a large stadium where players could engage in intense battles away from vehicles. However, the stadium was removed from the map during the overhaul.

With Season 7, the stadium from “Hourglass” returns, but it will not be added as part of the old map, rather as a completely new, standalone map. The focus of the map will still be on soldier combat, and there will be no vehicles. The stadium will be a map solely for infantry.

Battlefield 2042: Season 7 – These new weapons and vehicles are awaiting you

What new weapons will Season 7 bring? The new season will give you access to a total of three new weapons, a new gadget, and a new vehicle.

  • AK5C (Assault Rifle)
  • SCZ-3 (Submachine Gun)
  • DFR Strife
  • Predator SRAW (Rocket Launcher)
  • XFAD-4 Draugr (Vehicle)

The AK5C is a new assault rifle designed for close to medium-range combat. With the SCZ-3, you will have a new submachine gun that can be equipped with a drum magazine and excels at short distances.

As a third addition, the DFR-Strife will be included in your arsenal. The weapon features a belt feed, similar to what you find with LMGs, providing a high ammunition capacity before you need to reload. This is combined with the mobility of an assault rifle.

Additionally, there will be a new gadget that has a long history of success in various Battlefield games, the Predator SRAW. This is a wire-guided anti-vehicle rocket launcher.

For those of you who like to reach great heights, there will also be a new aircraft. The XFAD-4 Draugr is a bomber, equipped with EMP bombs and radar-guided missiles.

„I usually am not like this“ – German Twitch streamer explains which game makes him completely lose it

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer MckyTV actually describes himself as “nice and friendly.” But there is a game that drives him so crazy that he apologizes to his fans in advance.

Which streamer is it about? MckyTV is a streamer known for various shooters like Fortnite and PUBG: Battlegrounds. However, in recent weeks, he has mainly been seen playing Riot’s tactical shooter Valorant, and there is a reason for that: Mcky participated in his colleague EliasN97’s Valorant tournament on March 10 and 11, 2024.

Even before the tournament began, Mcky addressed his fans with an apology: they might see some unpleasant scenes in the evening, but he couldn’t help it. It’s just the game that makes him go off.

Content creators on Twitch come up with all sorts of things to entertain their viewers:

Valorant and gamer pride are not a good combination

Which game makes Mcky angry? The game that makes the streamer’s heart race every time is none other than Valorant. That’s why he apologized to his viewers before the tournament began in case clips circulate later where he goes off.

“That’s not normally me,” explains Mcky: “I’m usually nice and friendly.” However, something just happens to him in Valorant, according to the streamer. He can’t turn it off.

Why Valorant in particular? Mcky says that he has a low tolerance when it comes to “gamer pride.” He can react differently, and Valorant brings that side of him out.

Besides, the French are somehow to blame: if he just hears them in the voice chat, his blood pressure goes up by 30%, and his aim worsens by the same factor, explains the streamer (via TikTok). You can see the relevant stream excerpt here:

How did it go for Mcky? After Mcky and his team barely qualified for the semifinals on the first day of the tournament, they had to face the team of the “eternal sidekick” Chefstrobel the next day.

There, Team Kuba, which included Mcky, lost clearly and was eliminated without a win in the best-of-3. A compilation of the highlights from the second day of the tournament, including some of Mcky’s outbursts, can also be found on YouTube.

Is there a game for you that just makes you angry, yet you can’t get away from? Let us know in the comments.

Even though Mcky is usually “nice and friendly,” there is one more thing besides Valorant that can make him mad: when viewers accuse him of not working properly. But at least he can rely on his fans.

In LoL, a manager is attacked because a 30-year-old does not want to stay retired

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In the US league of League of Legends, the LCS, there is again trouble with Doublelift. The 30-year-old has actually retired as a LoL pro twice already and is now a full-time Twitch streamer. But now the manager of Team Liquid, Dodo, is in trouble because he allegedly sabotaged the comeback of the legendary bot laner.

This is the situation:

Start video
LoL Get Jinxed

Doublelift planned return – but only if they also get a wonder kid

What kind of drama was unfolding? Although Doublelift had retired for good, he apparently was secretly planning his comeback for “Team Liquid,” but only under very specific conditions.

Doublelift wanted to play for Team Liquid, but only if they assembled a kind of “super team” with the talented jojopyun (19) in the mid lane.

But Doublelift believes that the manager of Team Liquid, Dodo, leaked the plan because he has a personal problem with Doublelift from their time together at Team Liquid. In 2020, Doublelift announced that he could no longer play well, because he had a motivation problem.

According to Doublelift, Dodo allegedly said: Doublelift would only play for Team Liquid if he were no longer on the team. Dodo reportedly threatened to resign if Doublelift was signed.

This led to jojopysun not moving to Team Liquid, but to Cloud9, and Doublelift’s return plans fell apart.

According to Doublelift, Dodo’s behavior was “sneaky,” but Dodo sent him a letter of apology saying he acted out of the moment.

All of this was recounted by Doublelift during an LCS co-stream on March 8.

What impact does this have on the manager: As Dodo reported on March 10, he woke up the day after Doublelift’s stream to “supportive messages from fans” who sent him death threats and told him to kill himself.

He thanks everyone.

How does the manager describe the situation? According to Dodo, he had been in talks with the desired mid laner jojopyun since September 2023, but he wanted to play with the Cloud9 bot laner Berserker, which is why he also moved to Cloud9.

As Doublelift did not want to join Team Liquid without jojopysun, this fell through. He is disappointed that Doublelift chose to share “misinformation.”

What is the current state of the LCS? Cloud9 is in 3rd place with 8-6, Team Liquid is in 4th place with 7-7. The two leading teams, both with 10-4, are FlyQuest and the 100 Thieves.

In the USA, the playoffs are now starting.

Big Hearthstone Anniversary caused long waiting times in WoW because players did not read the fine print

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 3 minutes

In WoW the party for the 10th anniversary of Hearthstone started yesterday, on March 11, 2024. With it: cool rewards, but also some problems and confused players. We will tell you how to secure the Fiery Pegasus and the other goodies.

What is the anniversary party in WoW about? Hearthstone is celebrating its 10th birthday. And since the digital card game and World of Warcraft both come from Blizzard, the developers use this milestone for a cross-promo event where you can secure some nice in-game rewards.

Unlocking the Fiery Pegasus mount for your stable in World of Warcraft is particularly easy. Simply log into Hearthstone from March 11 to May 14, 2024, and you’re done! Only if you have never played the card game, you need to at least complete the short tutorial to earn the mount. Hearthstone is free.

Log into Hearthstone and secure the Fiery Pegasus.

What other rewards are there? In the capitals Valdrakken (on top of the pillar in the Emerald Enclave), Stormwind (at the harbor) and Orgrimmar (in front of the entrance, in Durotar), special Hearthstone tournaments are taking place from March 11 to March 18, 2024, which you can join.

The next big milestone for WoW – the expansion The War Within:

Start video
World of Warcraft: The War Within – Cinematic Trailer

Once per hour, Wurbelflitz appears at these locations, summoning portals. From those, servants flow out that you should strike back. This way, with a bit of luck, you can earn cards for your deck and the following rewards:

  • Mount: Compass Rose
  • Pet: Sarge
  • Collector’s bag with 36 slots
  • Tavern Cloak
  • Hearthstone: Hearthstone
  • Transmog: Reno’s Lucky Hat
  • Transmog: Belt of the Tavern-Goer

More rewards can be achieved through achievements:

  • Toys: Hearthstone Play Table (you receive it when you own ten different cards – Achievement: Hearthstone Beginner)
  • Achievement: Hearthstone Card Collection (you receive it when you own all 21 cards)

What else do I need to know? When you log into WoW, you should find an invitation for the party in your mailbox. The document will lead you to Ceremony Master Ferala in Valdrakken, who will supply you with the quest “Play Hearthstone” and a starter pack of cards.

This is what the “mount” Compass Rose looks like.

This quest initially caused long waiting times, because only two players can compete against each other at a table. What many heroes of Azeroth overlooked: You can also just stand near a table and activate the item “Wild Hearthstone Card” in your inventory to start a match and thus complete the quest.

Tip: A shady vendor in Valdrakken (coordinates 61/59) sells you a pack of five wild Hearthstone cards for 20 silver.

What other problems were there? The regularly spawning troops of Wurbelflitz caused trouble in several ways. On the one hand, there were sometimes severe server problems, including the rollbacks of some realms, which reset characters to an earlier state.

On the other hand, the portals in Stormwind appeared in significantly higher numbers for a time, allowing some Alliance players to reach the aforementioned rewards more quickly. According to WoWhead, the bug has since been fixed.

Helldivers 2: Players complain about superior opponents: “How are we supposed to win when the opponents just cheat?”

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Helldivers 2 the community is really angry. In the last patch, more things seem to have happened than were stated in the patch notes.

Why are the players angry? The players have felt a change in Helldivers 2 over the last few days. Things that used to work no longer do. More specifically, it’s about the enemies’ stealth mechanics. According to the community on Reddit, they are said to have been changed and no longer really function. Now the players are venting their frustration.

Helldivers 2 showcases the new war bond “On the Edge of a Knife” in a trailer

Start video

Stealth just doesn’t seem to work anymore

What exactly is the problem with stealth? Stealth currently has several problems. For example, if you call in an airstrike using a target marker on an enemy, the entire horde immediately knows where you are located.

Even if you throw the airstrike over a small hill, the whole squad is hunting you down. The airstrike then hits no one because everyone is long gone.

The second problem seems to particularly concern true stealth players. Now, if you take out an enemy at a great distance, a horde of enemies seems to spawn behind you. This makes stealth unusable. 

What does the community say about this? On Reddit, users are reporting their experiences. Inevitable_Spell5775 writes: “I love it when you throw a stratagem from miles away and as soon as it lands, everything just rushes at you.”

Im_pattymac confirms this, he writes: “100%, throw a stratagem over a hill and then run away… the enemies already know exactly where you are and rush towards you.”

Even the original poster, who sparked the debate, writes: “How are we supposed to act strategically and rely on our tactics, positioning, and air support to win when the enemies can just cheat?”

What do the players say about the second problem? On Reddit, users are also expressing their opinions. TheComebackKid74 usually sneaks through the levels and writes: “That’s the same reason why, even if you take cover and sneak… when you shoot at someone in the distance, a phantom horde can literally spawn right behind you.”

Also, Sarge1387 seems to have had a similar experience: “For sure. Setting up flank positions? The patrol will spawn directly behind each of your teammates.” 

Spinach-spin confirms the suspicion of the original poster, who thinks it got worse after the update:

“Strangely, it wasn’t that bad at all before the balance patch, the patrols were random and didn’t spawn directly behind you (or due to increased aggression, etc., it’s now more noticeable). I really hope that something has gone wrong and that this wasn’t intended, because the game is just not fun right now.”

Just recently, players complained about robots that can fire their rockets accurately at you even through the densest fog and take you out with one shot.

A player in Palworld is very lucky to find the Pals and can hardly believe it: “Guys, is this rare?”

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

Finding a Lucky Pal in Palworld is already rare, but encountering two at once has happened to very few. A player now shows his find and not only receives congratulations for it.

What did the player find? The Reddit user Atomidanlcul shared a picture in his post showing his truly rare find. In the picture, there are several Pals: a group of Swees and Sweepas as well as two Dumuds. The special thing is: two of the Swees are Lucky, meaning they are particularly rare and stronger than a regular Pal.

Showing his rare find on Reddit not only draws compliments, with a presumably sarcastic, “Guys, is this rare?” in the title of the image.

You can see in our video how to get a fast land mount.

The community believes the user cheated

Why do other users believe that cheating occurred? Players find it suspicious that all Pals in the picture appear twice. In the Palworld settings, there is an option to increase the spawn rate of Pals.

The player is now suspected of reaching the rare “Lucky Pal” find only by increasing the spawn rate. Comments are piling up under the post on Reddit.

Kougeru-Sama claims: “No. Obviously, you doubled the spawn rates, so every time there is a Lucky, there are two. I tried double rates for a while and every time I saw a Lucky Pal, there were two of them.”

However, there are also several users under the post who counter this, including the creator of the post, who claims that setting the spawn rate to 2x would not produce any Lucky Pals. Whether he actually did this, however, he does not admit.

Does he also receive congratulations? Yes, many players who themselves have hundreds of hours in the game have rarely or never experienced anything like it.

Known_Statistician59 describes his rarest encounter: “Wow, that’s a cool snapshot! In over 300 hours, I only had the luck of two Lucky Pals spawning at the same time once. They weren’t the same Pal, but they were next to each other. The first was a Lamball. After I caught it, I thought: ‘Hmm, is the sound still playing? Strange.’ A huge Eikthyr deer right behind me lol.”

Also, Aurora-Alley thinks: “Yes, two in one place is extremely rare, congratulations! I’ve never seen that.”

Memelordo_OwO expresses a suspicion: “Funny enough, either my luck has skyrocketed or they’ve made some changes to the shiny spawns. Previously, I only occasionally came across one. However, recently I found 3 shinies within 5 minutes, 2 (Cattiva and Lamball) right next to the Wumpo Botan on the starter island at the same time. The other on the same island on my way to the base.”

The player is not the only one who has reported a lot of luck in Palworld: Recently, a player accidentally made a throw that is about as rare as finding two Lucky Pals.

Baldur’s Gate 3: You can turn a simple torch into a powerful weapon to defeat the toughest opponents

Fabienne Kissel Fabienne Kissel Reading time 3 minutes

In Baldur’s Gate 3 you can unleash your creativity to get even more out of your builds. MeinMMO author Fabienne Kissel introduces a powerful torch build today that can deal a lot of damage.

With a multiclass build, you can transform a simple torch into the ultimate killer weapon to annoy your enemies. This unique build combines the classes Druid, Paladin, and Fighter to fully utilize the potential of this unusual weapon.

The build comes from the YouTuber cRPG Bro, who has already been celebrated by the community for other fun builds. For example, for his legendary salami build, with which you can beat your opponents with salamis.

Start video
Baldur’s Gate 3: Reset Character and Choose New Class

Unique Torch Build – YouTuber cRPG Bro shows the way to maximum damage

What kind of build is this? Normally, a torch deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage and 1d4 fire damage (when lit), but with this build, you can stack and inflict mighty elemental damage with a torch.

cRPG Bro emphasizes that the damage output of the torch is comparable to that of a longsword. Along with the Smite from the Paladin, you can achieve over 90 damage per Smite – which is quite a lot. This allows you to one-shot many enemies. This build is said to be suitable even for the hardest difficulty, the Honour mode.

Baldur's Gate 3: Torch Build
This is how it can look later on. Source: cRPG Bro via YouTube
BG3: Torch Build Smite Damage
A look at the damage from Smite. Source: cRPG Bro via YouTube

How to build the build:

To maximize damage with the torch, synergy with Charisma and starting as a Paladin is crucial. Charisma is chosen as the spellcasting ability to scale attacks and damage rolls with the torch. Starting as a Paladin allows for quicker access to Smite and proficiency in heavy armor. Additionally, it also utilizes the Illithid powers.

Attribute distribution: Your main attribute in this build will be Charisma to increase your damage. You can distribute the points as CRPG Bro suggests:

  • Strength: 8
  • Dexterity: 16
  • Constitution: 14
  • Intelligence: 8
  • Wisdom: 10
  • Charisma: 17

How you can level up:

  • Level 1: Paladin (Oath of Vengeance)
  • Level 2: Paladin, Fighting Style: Duelling or Defense
  • Level 3: Druid – here the Shillelagh cantrip is important to increase the damage of the torch.
  • Level 4: Back to Druid. Choose the subclass: Circle of Spores, to have access to Symbiotic Entity to deal additional necrotic damage (1-6 damage) with your torches.
  • Level 5: Paladin
  • Level 6: Paladin, Feat: Savage Attacker
  • Level 7: Paladin
  • Level 8: Fighter, Fighting Style: Two-Weapon Fighting or Defense
  • Level 9: Fighter
  • Level 10: Choose Fighter subclass: Champion
  • Level 11: Fighter, Trait: Ability Improvement for more Charisma
  • Level 12: Paladin for Aura of Protection and Level 3 spell slot

cRPG Bro also mentions in his video on YouTube that you can be flexible in leveling and in choosing your fighting style, depending on what you prefer.

Here you can take a closer look at this build to get the most out of the torches:

Who is it worth it for? Overall, he shows in this fun build what one can get out of a simple torch. He buffs the torch with Magical Weapon, Elemental Weapon, Divine Favor, and certain pieces of armor that he shows in the video, up to almost infinity, to achieve maximum damage.

However, he probably has to rest quite often because he frequently needs to expend his spell slots to increase the damage of the torch to this extent. It can therefore also become quite tedious to always have to prepare and buff to deal damage.

However, if you are in the mood for a fun build, this might be the right choice for you. For those who want to focus on classic multiclass builds, we can recommend these here: Baldur’s Gate 3: The best multiclass builds and what makes them so good

Twitch: German streamer is really annoyed by what people search for her

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

Fibi Fibii Pfeiffer (18) is one of the biggest female streamers on German Twitch. However, this fame also brings the wrong kind of attention.

Which streamer are we talking about? Fibii rose to become one of the most-watched female streamers on German Twitch in 2022 at just 16 years old. By now, she has established her place in the scene. However, this fame also has its downsides: The streamer shared on March 8, 2024, on X the questionable search queries that circulate about her.

What kind of search queries are those? The attached screenshot shows terms that are apparently frequently searched in connection with Fibii. Some of the search terms take on a sexualized direction: users search for videos where the 18-year-old is “leaked” or “accidentally” shows something. Other queries include the words “toenails” and “doggy”.

As one user shows in the comments, there are similar queries on Google as well. Anyone who enters the name of the streamer there is suggested to add terms like “skirt” or even “bikini” (via X).

What does Fibii say about the topic? In her post, Fibii writes that it “really messes with her” to see these search queries. And although the streamer just celebrated her 18th birthday this January, she has had to deal with being sexualized against her will for much longer.

She reported as early as 16 years old about requests where users asked her to create an account on the paid platform OnlyFans (via YouTube). Her colleague Jasmin “Gnu” criticized in a video in 2023 the sexualization of content creators on Reddit – including the then 17-year-old Fibii.

Other users also view the queries critically.

The new gadget for the medium class is the “Data Transformer,” which transforms objects into other objects, for example, enemy mines into flower pots. Additionally, the class receives the “Dematerializer.” This is a specialization that allows you to pass through surfaces such as walls and ceilings without completely destroying them.

The heavy class receives the new KS-23 shotgun. On top of that, the heavy class gets the “Anti-Gravity Cube” as a new gadget, which negates gravity and allows players and objects to float.

What is the Viper? The Viper is a DPS melee character that deals damage over time. It shares its equipment with the Ninja class. Besides quick strikes with dual swords, it also delivers slower attacks with the combined two-handed weapon.

The primary attribute for the Viper is Dexterity. This will make the class’s attacks even stronger. As a DPS class, stats like Critical Hit, Determination, Direct Hit, and Speed should also be focused on.

How do I get the Viper? You need to reach level 80 with one of your jobs to unlock the questline for the Viper. The quest will be found somewhere in Ul’dah. There is no associated class with it.

The Pictomancer is a colorful magician

What is the Pictomancer? Unlike the Viper, the Pictomancer specializes in ranged combat. It is a DPS mage that fights with vibrant colors. Additionally, it has some supportive spells to help the group. However, unlike other mages, it cannot resurrect dead group members.

The Pictomancer shares its equipment with other DPS mages. It wields a brush to cast its spells. Like all other mages, its strength is based on the Intelligence attribute.

How do I unlock the Pictomancer? To unlock the Pictomancer, you need to complete a questline in Gridania. Of course, like with the Viper, you also need to have a class at level 80.

Here you see the Pictomancer in action:

The Beastmaster as a limited job: This is how it works

What is the Beastmaster? The Beastmaster is a limited job like the Blue Mage. This means that it can almost exclusively be used for solo content and is not equated with other jobs. Compared to the other classes, it is much stronger, which is why it is excluded from PvP and most other content. Additionally, it has a lower maximum level than all other jobs.

However, the limited jobs have their own questlines. The task of the Beastmaster may involve taming multiple monsters and using them in combat.

How do I unlock the Beastmaster? So far, the least is known about the Beastmaster compared to all jobs. Therefore, we do not yet know where the Beastmaster will be unlocked. Once we get this information, we will let you know here.

We only know that, unlike the Viper and the Pictomancer, it will be introduced later in the game. The other two jobs will be available directly with the release of Dawntrail.

Soon you will also be able to play Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox: Starting from March 21, you can also enjoy perhaps the best MMORPG on the market on Xbox

As a child, he lost his Nintendo DS – 16 years later, a player finds his console again during construction work

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

A player lost his Nintendo DS many years ago. During construction work at his parents’ house, the device reappeared. This awakens memories for the owner, who wonders how the device ended up there.

The Nintendo DS is probably one of the most popular handhelds of recent years. The DS was released in 2004 and replaced the Game Boy Advance.

A player now recounts how he lost his DS 16 years ago and assumed it had been stolen. But now the device has reappeared during construction work.

Nintendo DS reappears 16 years later during construction work

Where did he find the device again? The owner explains that he found his Nintendo DS at the bottom of his sandbox. He does not reveal why he hadn’t looked there earlier, neither in his post nor in a reply.

A few months ago, he returned to his parents’ house to help with construction work. In this context, he had to empty the sandbox in front of the house and was surprised to find the Nintendo DS at the bottom. He said he had no idea how it got there.

How did the device end up there? He suspects that either his younger brother was responsible for the “disappearance” or that the DS had vanished after falling from the swing.

Does the DS still work? No, the Nintendo DS no longer functions. And there are several reasons for that:

  • The owner explains that the device is completely rusted.
  • Moreover, half of the circuit board inside the console is missing.
  • The battery inside is swollen and the shell of the DS is cracked.

The device can no longer be played with. However, he admits he would do a lot to get his old toy running again.

Players celebrate a map for Last Epoch that accurately shows where there is loot: “The devs should bring this into the game”

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

You have several options to obtain better items after the campaign in Last Epoch. Most players will likely spend the main part of the endgame in the Monoliths. One player has created a map showing where each item type drops.

Which farm is it about?

  • The Monoliths are part of the endgame of Last Epoch. The campaign ends with a long side quest series that introduces you to the Monoliths.
  • The feature is endless, so you can farm here as long as you want. Monoliths become stronger through “Corruption” and Empowerment.
  • Each of the Monoliths represents its own timeline, and upon completion, you can unlock a different blessing that strengthens your character – but also other items.

This is the overview: Monoliths are divided into “Maps” that provide a specific reward upon successful completion. This can range from gold to glyphs and runes, as well as items and guaranteed unique items.

The user Aessari on Reddit has created a map that shows which type of items you can find at which Monolith:

  • Fall of the Outcasts: Bows
  • The Stolen Lance: Staves and Rods
  • The Black Sun: Helmets and Shields
  • Blood, Frost, and Death: Chest Armors
  • Ending the Storm: Gloves
  • Fall of the Empire: Belts
  • Reign of Dragons: Swords and Axes
  • Spirits of Fire: Boots
  • The Age of Winter: Rings and Necklaces
  • The Last Ruin: Relics

Just like with the items, many blessings of Last Epoch can be found in the individual timelines. Blessings make your character stronger passively or grant extra chances to find certain items. Therefore, it may be worth farming a specific timeline.

If you want to get strong items more easily, join one of the two factions of Last Epoch:

How to get the right items in the endgame

Many users thank for the overview and believe that this is exactly what the game is still missing. The developers should just take a look and implement it, so that pressing Alt would be enough to see the possible loot.

If you don’t want to rely solely on Monoliths, you can alternatively farm your items in the endless arena or in dungeons. However, there you always have a chance for all kinds of items, not just specific ones.

However, dungeons are still useful, as they come with special gimmicks. In the Temporal Sanctum, for example, you can convert unique items with legendary potential into Legendaries.

Your most important tool, however, is crafting. Through crafting, you can add new properties to items, swap unwanted values, or even add stronger affixes. However, the system requires a bit of understanding: Last Epoch players admit: ‘I’m level 91, and I’ve misunderstood crafting so far’
