In Helldivers 2, players discuss whether the strongest weapons – the Railgun and the Breaker – need a nerf or if all other weapons require a buff.
In Helldivers 2, you have various weapons and tactical gear at your disposal. Some of them are explosive but less powerful, while others dominate the tier list of the best weapons. In brief: Some excel in firepower, while others stand out due to their special effects.
This has led to a portion of the community discussing the balancing of the cooperative shooter just a few weeks after release. While some call for nerfs for strong weapons, others want buffs for weaker ones.

Weapon Balancing in Helldivers 2 – The Community is Divided
What do players say about the balancing? Reddit user “soloman-romero” addressed the Helldivers 2 community with clear words, demanding: “Stop asking for nerfs.” Instead, he would prefer buffs for the underpowered weapons, rather than weakening the strong ones (via Reddit).
The user picks up on demands from the player base of the cooperative shooter, who are already wishing for certain weapons and gear to be weakened just weeks after release. For instance, the Railgun, the Breaker shotgun, and the shield generator backpack are significantly stronger than their alternatives, making them indispensable for the best loadout.
The call to stop asking for nerfs received over 5,100 upvotes in just one day. Many players also agreed in the comments. One user stated that at the highest difficulty level, he wishes for “even bigger guns with even more firepower” (via Reddit).
Additional comments on the topic:
ProfiAd2203 via Reddit: “Don’t nerf the Railgun, buff the other anti-tank options.”
itsmehonest via Reddit: “Since it’s a PvE game, can we all agree that only buffs are needed, not nerfs, right?”
jeffQC1 via Reddit: “I’m not suggesting nerfing the SG-225 Breaker; all other weapons should be buffed […]. Basically, all weapons need to be able to compete with it.”
When it comes to nerfs, the shield generator backpack and the Railgun are primarily mentioned. Players on social media are already proposing ways to partially weaken them:
ChineseCosmo via Reddit: “Currently, the shield generator backpack is too good not to use, which isn’t really healthy for the state of the game. An even bigger problem is that it’s somewhat mindless. You just put it on and forget it.”
farmermarinarina via Reddit: “I feel like the Railgun is too OP at the moment. It makes other anti-tank options somewhat redundant. It doesn’t require a backpack or another person to be effective, like the recoil-free rifle or the spear. It can destroy large parts of armor with just two shots. It can be reloaded while moving and is very fast.”
In Pokémon GO kicks off the worldwide Sinnoh Tour 2024 this weekend. We will show you all the known information.

We will have to wait and see, but it is conceivable. Even at past events like tours or GO Fests, there have often been surprises that were announced at a later date. Since “and others” is frequently mentioned here as well, it can be assumed that additional information about the events will likely come in.
Even before the beta launch of the new expansion of World of Warcraft, Blizzard is listening to the players. A hero talent tree is being significantly changed.
With the upcoming expansion “The War Within”, a new major chapter begins in the story of World of Warcraft. However, there will also be some changes to the classes, as all classes will gain access to new additional talent trees. Some of these “hero talents” have already been introduced by Blizzard in advance. However, feedback from the community for one of these trees was so negative that they thanked for the feedback and promised: Improvements will be made.

WoW: The War Within – All the major features of the new expansion
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the Oracle talent tree.
One of our goals is to share these hero talents as early as possible so that we have enough time to evaluate and make changes if necessary. After reading your feedback, discussing the talent tree, and playing the concept internally, we have decided to take another look at the Oracle tree, especially regarding replacing Soul of Power.
What was the problem with the Oracle tree? There was a lot of criticism from fans, and especially among priests, there seemed to be a relative consensus that the Oracle talent tree would not really play well. The most common criticisms were:
Replacing Soul of Power with a new effect feels wrong. Soul of Power is simply too strong to be exchanged. This makes the talent tree feel like a poor choice right away.
The new spell had 3 different effects that occur in a time-based rotation. This complicates cooldown management even further and discourages even more people from playing priests at all.
What will Blizzard change? What exactly the developers want to change is still not entirely clear. They only pointed out that they will revise the talent tree again, “especially regarding the replacement of Soul of Power.” That at least suggests that Soul of Power will probably not be replaced in the future.
Whether the random element of the spell, in which the granted buff changes every few seconds, will also be removed remains to be seen.

If you’re having trouble with your Pal always being sick in Palworld, it might be due to the food. A TikToker has now explained how to keep your Pals in top health.
Why shouldn’t you feed the Pals berries? In a TikTok video, the creator LaokiTV explains why you should not feed your Pals berries. When you feed the Pals raw berries, they do not receive GEI back. GEI is the value of your Pals’ health. If it is at 100 %, your creatures are doing well. However, if it drops to 0, your creatures will not work anymore.
The raw berries do not give any GEI back, which is why you should remove them from your Pals’ diet. But the right food is not the only reason why your Pals get sick.
In this video about Palworld, you can see how to get a super fast ground mount.
Start video
Palworld: Here you will find a super fast ground mount
Three things ensure efficient Pals
How do you ensure that the Pals work well? For the Pals to work well, they must be at 100 % GEI. This also prevents the Pals from getting sick, so you don’t have to spend your work or money on medicine.
The first thing that provides GEI, as mentioned above, is the food. You should at least use cooked berries. The cooked berries provide 1 GEI. This means your Pals heal themselves when they consume them.
There are many different dishes in Palworld; the better the dish, the more your Pals heal, and they also stay full longer, which avoids tedious trips to the feeding trough.
What else can be done to improve the condition of the Pals? To improve your Pals’ condition even further, you can build two different things. First, the luxurious fountain, where your Pals can sit to heal themselves.
The more you set up, the more Pals can heal themselves at the same time. The luxurious fountain is better than the normal fountain, which still works if you haven’t unlocked the better one yet.
Additionally, you can build your Pals a better bed. Right at the start of the game, you unlock the straw bed for your companions. Later in the game, there is also a better bed for your Pals that allows them to regenerate more GEI overnight.
You can watch TikToker LaokiTV’s tips about GEI here.
What is the problem with the server? In the comments under LaokiTV’s TikTok video, users are gathering to report about sick Pals. They say that no matter what they do, every day after logging in, the Pals are sick again. This is especially the case after a server restart.
UMAR writes under the video: “So, on rented servers, there are still problems, right? I gave them grilled berries, but the next day, sick, hungry, and no GEI.”
Players on servers should also try the tricks. However, if you, like the users in the TikTok comments, have no success with them, you will just have to wait for an update.
This week, two new online games entered the battle for new players and the eyes of viewers on Twitch. The survival game Nightingale launched on February 20. The hack’n slash Last Epoch released on February 21. The amazing thing: one of the top players on Twitch, Michael “shroud” Grzesiek (29), is leading in both games.
How did Nightingale perform? The EA survival game has settled at number 12 among average players for the last 3 days, between Helldivers 2 and Minecraft. That’s a solid, but not a dominant start on Twitch at launch.
At its peak, Nightingale was able to attract 264,811 viewers, which is enough for 7th place.

This Is Nightingale – Extended Gameplay Overview
Who are the key streamers? Shooter specialist shroud easily won Nightingale. He showcased the game for 11 hours and peaked at almost 31,000 viewers.
In Germany, Gronkh clearly leads ahead of Shlorox and Dhalucard, both of whom have invested significantly more hours in Nightingale than the veteran.
Diablo Experts Dominate Last Epoch
How did Last Epoch perform? For Last Epoch, the average numbers are harder to measure because the game has been on Twitch for ages, but only had its full release on February 21.
However, Last Epoch was able to narrowly outshine Nightingale in peak viewers, reaching 266,419 viewers, which is almost 2,000 more.

What does shroud say about Last Epoch? The elite gamer says that Last Epoch reminds him strongly of Path of Exile: he likes everything about the game, except the quests. He could easily do without them.
Exactly on the questing he could also do without in Path of Exile; he simply does not like that.
Last Epoch and Nightingale Are the Most Successful New Games on Twitch After Palworld
How did the games perform compared to other releases in 2024? In terms of peak numbers on Twitch, Last Epoch and Nightingale are now number 2 and 3 among new games released in 2024.
The top spot with 434,200 concurrent viewers is held by Palworld. In 4th place follows the German Enshrouded.
Helldivers 2 is so popular that the servers are completely overloaded with the numerous players. However, with the new patch, a new feature has been integrated to help ensure that AFK players no longer clog up the game.
Helldivers 2 is an extremely successful co-op shooter on Steam and PS5. However, the massive influx led to full servers, leaving many players unable to join the game without long wait times.
Once players finally made it into the game, many apparently did not want to give up their spot.
As a result, many stayed AFK in Helldivers 2 for hours or even entire days, just to avoid getting stuck in a queue again.
Here you can see a trailer for Helldivers 2:

Helldivers 2 Announce Trailer PS5 PC
New patch frees the servers from AFK players
However, a new update is now set to counter this strategy and kick absent players out of Helldivers 2 after a certain period of inactivity to create more room for those who are actually playing.
What kind of update is this? On February 22, 2024, patch 1.000.11 was released for Helldivers 2, which brought various fixes. The patch notes were fully published on Steam.
Among the problem resolutions, there is also a feature that kicks players from the game to the title screen if they have been inactive for more than 15 minutes.
This addresses player feedback as such a feature had been requested multiple times within the community.
What else did the patch bring? Additionally, there are further bug fixes and crash resolutions. For example, crashes should be prevented when players enter another’s ship or when exiting the aiming perspective.
Also, a problem where certain online missions were not selectable on the “Galactic War” map will be resolved by the update.
Furthermore, issues that occurred in conjunction with GameGuard and the Windows Firewall have also been addressed.
A popular building game on Steam plans to release fully by the end of the year. Until then, the developers are working on transitioning to Unreal Engine 5.
Which game is it about? Satisfactory is a building game on Steam that started Early Access in 2019. To this day, the game has managed to impress its players quite well and has received a strong 97% positive reviews.
You explore an alien planet and build your own factory, with plenty of conveyor belts and state-of-the-art technology.
The goal is to automate your factory as much as possible.
It is played from a first-person perspective, solo or in online co-op.
You explore an open world with various vehicles, jetpacks, or jumping platforms that make exploration easier.
A video about Update 8 gives you a good impression of the world and gameplay of Satisfactory:

Satisfactory will bis zum Release noch Einiges ändern
How does Satisfactory plan to impress? Currently, the developers of the building game are working on the full release, scheduled for the end of 2024. Among other things, a transition to Unreal Engine 5 has already taken place.
PCGamesN had the opportunity to take a closer look at the current development state of the game and reported on their impressions. All the information we currently have comes from this report.
What’s particularly interesting is the switch to the better engine. Originally, the developers began the overhaul in Unreal Engine 5.2, which took place with Update 8. However, they are now said to have transitioned to 5.3, as it offers more potential for the future.
While this has left players with older systems behind, according to community manager Snutt Treptow, the team decided that ultimately more people would benefit from the progress.
With the new technology, the game has not only been visually enhanced but is also said to run much smoother and more pleasantly. Additionally, the developers are currently experimenting with more demanding lighting effects.
Some features are also expected to be redesigned or find their way into the game by release. For example, Update 8 already focuses on an interesting feature that allows players to continue operating their builds for a certain period even during a power outage.
For this, they will have the opportunity to connect their factories with various power supplies, thus ensuring a continuous power supply. In a game focused on automation, this seems like a really good feature to achieve this goal.
On this Thursday, Destiny 2 will experience another server down. For players, this means a short break from gaming. MeinMMO tells you when you can log back in.
Update, 7:35 PM: According to Bungie, the downtime is now complete. You can log in now. We will keep you updated if any more complications occur. Apparently, there won’t be another update.
What you need to know today: Destiny 2 will undergo maintenance at short notice. This means the servers must go offline, which means you won’t be able to play for a while.
However, MeinMMO will keep you informed. We will tell you how long the downtime will last. We will also update this article as soon as there is new information.
These times are important today: Bungie informs its players via x.com (formerly Twitter) about the exact outage times. It is planned that the servers will be unavailable for 3 hours and 15 minutes today.
This is the schedule for the maintenance:
At 2:00 PM, background maintenance starts on all platforms.
At around 2:45 PM, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
At 6:00 PM, the shooter is expected to be back online and you can log in again.
The maintenance will continue in the background until 8:00 PM.
What to consider during downtimes: As long as the background maintenance runs, there may be connection issues in the game. Additionally, login queues may form occasionally because Bungie only gradually opens access to the servers to avoid issues due to high server load. Therefore, you might have to wait longer until you are back in the game.
The following issues are known: Even in the Season of Wish, there are many issues players are complaining about. Bungie has noted some (via bungie.net), but it is not known which of them will be fixed. The following bugs could be addressed:
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 “Pursuit of the Thought Twister” no longer glows when fired
Some rocket launchers do not appear anymore when inspected
Old artifacts are still displayed in players’ inventories
What is in the patch notes? A complete overview of all fixed issues and improvements will only be available this evening after the update goes live.
We will update our article and provide you with the link to the patch notes. It is possible that the patch notes may change later or be corrected by Bungie.
In Baldur’s Gate 3 you have access to a variety of weapons, where you can easily lose track. A player is now showing on TikTok why a crossbow is just right for clerics.
Which weapon is this about? In his video on TikTok, the player named Toyhouze talks about the crossbow “Gandrel’s Aspiration,” which is known in German as “Gandrel’s Streben.” This heavy crossbow gives you, among other things, an advantage against monsters.
Toyhouze points out in his video the action “Holy Ammunition,” with which the crossbow is equipped. With it, you can perform an action with a 100% success rate that allows you to repel undead.
In his video, Toyhouze explains why this is perfect for your cleric:

Why should you use the crossbow? If you use the bonus action “Holy Ammunition” before your attack as a cleric and apply it to your arrows, you can significantly increase your attack. Toyhouze demonstrates in his video how you can achieve a damage of 4d6 with this simple bonus action.
Where and how do you get this crossbow? You can obtain the heavy crossbow already in Act 1. To do this, you need to defeat the monster hunter Gandrel, whom you can find south of Aunt Ethel’s tea house.
This one tells you that he is searching for a vampire named Astarion. You then have the choice to turn Astarion in and ally with Gandrel, or to challenge the monster hunter in combat. Once you have defeated Gandrel, you can take the crossbow from him.
On Amazon Prime, the science fiction thriller Tides is featuring Iain Glen (Game of Thrones) and Nora Arnezeder. MyMMO author Schuhmann says: This is a clever and realistic film that takes us into a post-apocalyptic future that manages without zombies, yet shows humans at their worst.
This is the situation of the film:
In “Tides,” humanity has devastated the Earth but has survived. The Earth has become largely uninhabitable due to flooding – apparently, the polar ice caps have melted. The elite of humanity has escaped into space and established a colony on Kepler-209.
However, humanity cannot survive there: The radiation from Kepler makes women infertile, and humanity is on the brink of extinction. A team has already been sent back to Earth to check if resettlement is possible, but we hear nothing more from them.
We follow a trio of researchers whose space capsule makes a crash landing on the flooded and devastated Earth.
Start video
English trailer for TIDES with Nora Arnezeder and Iain Glen
Tides starts like a horror film but raises exciting questions
This is what makes the film special: The 104-minute thriller breaks into two halves:
In the first half, we see the inhospitable Earth and how difficult it is to survive there. There is little dialogue, everything feels surreal and foreign. Tides resembles a horror film here.
In the second half, the film shifts more towards science fiction. It paints an exciting colonialist scenario, posing questions about which boundaries must be crossed and are permissible to save humanity.
Iain Glen, known from Game of Thrones, shines in Tides as a charismatic yet dubious character who wishes to be a hero and the savior of humanity but possesses many traits of a villain.
The conflict between the seemingly modern and civilized settlers from outer space and the “feral” survivors of Earth (referred to as “Muds”) creates a space that raises questions reminiscent of the colonial era.
Why isn’t the film more widely known? Tides comes from a Swiss director and was filmed in Germany on the island of Neuwerk and in Basel.
While it has won numerous awards in Germany and Switzerland, it was commercially unsuccessful with about $377,000 worldwide at the box office.
You can watch Tides on Amazon Prime. It is available in German.
A study by the US Annenberg Inclusion Initiative shows that the number of women in lead roles in Hollywood films has significantly decreased compared to the previous year. This has returned to the level seen in 2010.
What was examined in the study? In a study by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, the gender, ethnicity, and age of the main characters and co-stars in the 1,700 highest-grossing films from 2007 to 2023 were analyzed.
What were the results? The result was that only 30 of the 100 highest-grossing films in 2023 featured a girl or woman as the lead or co-lead. This is a figure that was also recorded in 2010.
This represents a significant regression compared to the previous year, as stated in the report on the study. There were still 44 films then, which was even the highest figure since 2007.
“Catastrophic regression for girls and women in film.”
What does the founder of the initiative say about it? Stacy L. Smith had clear words for the study’s results and said: “This is a catastrophic regression for girls and women in film.”
She further explained that there had actually been progress in the industry over the past 14 years, and the results contradict what one would expect from a year in which Barbie made a big debut:
“This turnaround is both shocking and a direct contradiction to all the talk that 2023 is supposed to be the ‘Year of the Woman.'”
The numbers not only showed how often women are seen in lead roles but also represent the state of career opportunities for them. The data suggests that options for women in Hollywood have drastically shrunk.
“Even when we look at the films that have been postponed to 2024 due to the strike, we can only explain the drop in female lead/co-lead roles in 2023 as a failure of the industry.”
The global Sinnoh Tour in Pokémon GO is approaching. Here you will find useful tips on how to prepare for it.
What is the Sinnoh Tour? The Sinnoh Tour runs next weekend, on February 24 and 25. It is the grand final event of the currently running season “Timeless Travels”.
Throughout the Sinnoh Tour, the focus will mainly be on Pokémon from the fourth generation, specifically from the games “Diamond” and “Pearl”. However, monsters from the Hisui region from the game “Legends: Arceus” will also be represented. This aligns with the appearance of the two primordial forms of Dialga and Palkia.
Now there are only a few days left until the Sinnoh Tour starts. We will show you how to prepare for it now.
[toc]
Tips on how to prepare for the Sinnoh Tour in the game
1. Complete Step 1 of “Path to Sinnoh”
The “Path to Sinnoh” event is currently running in Pokémon GO with matching special research. You should definitely complete the first step, as it will determine whether you want to play the Pearl version or the Diamond version of the Tour.
Depending on your choice, during the Sinnoh Tour you will encounter a guaranteed primordial Palkia with Spatial Rend (Pearl) or a guaranteed primordial Dialga with Roar of Time (Diamond).
Primordial Dialga and Primordial Palkia appear in raids during the Sinnoh Tour, and who knows when they will return after that. If you want to challenge them, you will need raid passes. And yes, even though the “Path to Sinnoh” is currently running with changing legendary raid monsters, you might want to save up some passes.
Additionally, you should prepare raid teams to challenge the strong primordial forms.
You need counters of the types Dragon and Fairy for Primordial Palkia. Monsters like Mega Rayquaza, Mega Garchomp, Mega Gardevoir, but also Dragonite, Cupidos, or Salamence are worth using here.
You need counters of the types Fighting and Ground for Primordial Dialga. For example, using monsters like Primal Groudon, Excadrill, Garchomp, or Terrakion and Lucario, you can score points here.
3. Consider if you want to trade Pokémon
During the Sinnoh Tour, you can perform up to six special trades each day. This means you can trade Shinies, legendary Pokémon, or monsters you don’t have yet with other trainers.
Accordingly, you should consider which Pokémon you can trade yourself and which ones you might still need. Additionally, the trade during the event only costs half the stardust.
Start video

4. Prepare incense, incubators, and space for eggs
During the Sinnoh Tour, there is a bonus of half hatch distance for all eggs activated during the event. This means you should try to have your incubators empty at the start of the event so you can use them immediately.
In the eggs, you will find the following monsters during the Sinnoh Tour:
So the 10 km eggs are particularly exciting since they bring regional Pokémon that also have a shiny chance.
The incense is also helpful during the event, as there is a chance to encounter Unown. The Unown letters H, I, N, O, and S will be roaming, and they can also appear as shinies.
5. Prepare for Party Play and possibly routes
If you haven’t used Party Play and routes yet, you should look into them over the weekend. Because at the event, it is guaranteed to get one monster and possible to get another through these features.
In the Los Angeles version, trainers could encounter a white-striped Snorlax when using routes. These have not been available in Pokémon GO before. Specific announcements for the global version are not made yet, but it is conceivable that they will also appear here. Therefore: Plan to have a route nearby.
6. Make space in your collection
Overall, there is a possibility to catch many exciting Pokémon during the Sinnoh Tour. This includes new shiny Pokémon that you can find throughout the event.
To catch as many as possible and use the time effectively, you should make room in your collection so you don’t constantly have to send away monsters in between.
Tips on how to prepare for the Sinnoh Tour outside the game
The big event is based on being out and about to catch a lot, hatch eggs, challenge raids, and more. Accordingly, you should also prepare.
7. Plan when you want to head out
Basically, you can just head out, but the day is long, and there are rotating habitats that are available twice a day.
The “Bustling Promenade” habitat runs from 10:00 to 11:00 and 14:00 to 15:00.
“Historic Grove” runs from 11:00 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 16:00.
“Toxic Excavations” runs from 12:00 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 17:00.
“Geothermal Lagoon” runs from 13:00 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 18:00.
Important: Primordial Palkia and Primordial Dialga are available during the “Historic Grove” and “Geothermal Lagoon” habitats.
8. Familiarize yourself with Campfire, coordinate for raids
To make raids successful, you should coordinate with friends on when and where you want to challenge them. During the event, there is also no limit on remote raids – you can use as many remote raid passes as you want, not just 5 per day.
Do you use autocatchers to catch as many Pokémon as possible? Then you should charge them in time before heading out over the weekend so you don’t find yourself missing battery charge. The same goes for power banks and anything else that can be useful.
10. Check back here
We at MeinMMO will accompany the Sinnoh Tour over the weekend with more guides, stories, and a live ticker to keep you updated. So if you are looking for information, check back here.

The MMORPG Palia will be available from March on Steam. Then you can play the self-proclaimed “Cozy-MMO” on Valve’s platform, and connect with players from other platforms via crossplay.
What kind of game is this? Palia is an MMORPG that consciously takes a different approach than other genre representatives. Here, no raids and bosses are tackled, but rather a relaxed experience is prioritized. The game comes from the studio Singularity 6, which consists of former developers from Blizzard and Riot.
Your new game Palia somewhat resembles Animal Crossing, only as an MMORPG. It brings various tasks that are usually secondary in classic MMORPGs to the forefront. For instance, taking care of your house, which you share with other NPCs and especially players. Specifically, there are the following tasks:
Logging
Mining
Fishing
Cooking
Hunting wildlife
Making your own furniture
Gardening – growing food in your garden
Catching insects – a mini-game
The cozy gameplay is framed by a rather utilitarian story. It revolves around us humans coming into the world of Palia. This world was once inhabited by a legendary people – of which there is now no trace. Instead, we are now building a new home, fostering friendships with neighbors, and taking it easy.

Palia | Steam Release Date Announce Trailer
Palia is launching soon on Steam
Where can you play Palia? Palia is currently still in beta. The game has been playable on PC via the Epic Games Store and the developer Singularity 6’s own launcher since last October. Additionally, it has also been available on the Switch since December. In all cases, Palia is free to play – and that is supposed to remain the case.
If you were hoping for a Steam release, you can look forward to March 25th. That is when Palia will launch on Steam. In a press release (via massivelyop.com), the developers announced that crossplay with other platforms or launchers will be possible. So you can play with your friends who are on the Switch or any other PC launcher.
Thanks to the cross-platform availability of the game, Palia enthusiasts can enjoy their favorite activities together, such as hunting, fishing, designing their homes, and completing quests in the most convenient ways, from PC to couch.
The press release does not comment on the status of the game, so it can be assumed that the game will be listed as Early Access on Steam and is still under development accordingly.
Players who join the game with the Steam version within the first month will receive an in-game “Frogbert plush toy.” Yes, you read that right.
The strange frog will grow larger according to how many players add Palia to their Steam wish list. Every 100,000 players it grows, up to a limit of 500,000. An unusual incentive to play the game, but somehow fitting to Palia’s unconventional concept.
The Palworld community has discovered on Reddit that Pals have different weaknesses and resistances to various elements. It was also found that attacks of a certain element can grant an attack bonus depending on their application.
In a thread on Reddit, the Palworld community found that Pals have different weaknesses against other elements. It was also noted that there is even resistance present, and depending on which attacks you use, you can even receive an attack bonus.
What elements are there? In Palworld, there are a total of nine elements, each Pal has at least one. These elements are Neutral, Water, Grass, Fire, Electric, Ice, Earth, Shadow, and Dragon. In most cases, a Pal belongs to a specific element, but there are also some that belong to multiple elements, like Chillet, which belongs to both the Ice and Dragon elements.
In contrast to passive skills, every Pal always has a fixed element, which means that Chillet cannot belong to the Fire element. However, there are some Pals that can exist in different forms with various elements: Kelpsea is assigned to the Water element, while Kelsea Ignis belongs to the Fire element.

What resistances do the elements have? Generally speaking, it can be said that Pals are resistant to damage from elements they are strong against. So if you attack a Pal and your damage numbers are not red, then the attacked Pal is resistant to your element.
In the following table, we show you all the resistance relationships of the various elements:
What weaknesses do the elements have? Unlike the resistance relationships, each element has a weakness against another element without exception. This means that attacks from this element deal or inflict more damage.
In the following table, you will find all the weaknesses of the individual elements:
Element
Weakness against
Neutral
Shadow
Water
Electric
Grass
Fire
Fire
Water
Electric
Earth
Ice
Fire
Earth
Grass
Shadow
Dragon
Dragon
Ice
What if a Pal belongs to more than one element? Pals with dual elements follow the same rules for both of their elements. However, this can also be advantageous and compensate for a weakness. For example, a Penking (Ice and Water) takes normal damage from a Fire attack, which is displayed using white numbers.
What happens if you use an attack from the same element as your Pal? If you use an attack from the same element, you receive an attack bonus. An attack bonus from the same element grants a small damage bonus if your Pal has the same type as the attack.
A Fire Pal deals more damage with a Fire attack than a Pal of another type executing the same attack. The community has calculated that this bonus is about 20%.
In Palworld, you can not only catch Pals that support you with their elements in battle but also humans. You can read about the advantages this brings here:
MeinMMO editor Leya thinks too much about the romance with the tentacle man in Baldur’s Gate 3.
Although I have since turned my attention to other games, Baldur’s Gate 3 is still running in the background. After over 300 hours, I am still discovering new things and trying out various things.
A major draw is the freedom of choice in the game and the consequences that one must bear. This also applies to the romances one can have with the NPCs and companions. For example, if I decide to be constantly evil, certain characters quickly want nothing to do with me.
There is one thing here that does not satisfy me.
The allure lies in the uncertainty
Throughout the story, you encounter a Mindflayer, who can become your ally or your enemy. If you explore its story more closely, you will quickly find that there is more to this Mindflayer than meets the eye.
I have a friendly relationship with most of my companions. They are all really well and emotionally written, so you want to hug all of them when they share sad or even beautiful moments with you.
And even though the heroes’ journeys of the individual characters are well developed, their stories feel somewhat familiar.
The aforementioned Mindflayer stands out for me.
He is one of the most exciting and complex characters in all of Baldur’s Gate. Just in my first playthrough, I had a lot of fun discovering his character.
Without going into too much detail: The Mindflayer is clearly manipulative and tries to pull you over to its side for its own purposes. It seems that any means are fair to it. But it is clever enough not to pressure you, so you do not turn away from it.
There are attempts at intimacy from the Mindflayer that can ultimately lead to sex – if one wishes so.
Of course, I did not have to think long to immediately let my guard down and give in to the tentacles. I did this with full awareness that sex is also part of the Mindflayer’s manipulation tactics.
I was very curious about when this decision would trigger a conflict. After all, all my companions are convinced that this Mindflayer wants to play an evil game with us. Moreover, Mindflayers are clearly the villains of the story!
Where will this dalliance lead?
To nothing.
In the end, my excursion leads nowhere. There is an achievement called “Mind Blown” when you sleep with the Mindflayer. My companions know that I slept with the Mindflayer, whom they all distrust. Not a single comment from them regarding my action.
Update 23.02, 12:00 PM: Our user MxInuxchan has clarified in the comments that the Mindflayer erases my companions’ memories and they will not remember who I slept with afterwards. This is correct, but also an easy way out of the conflict. Still, for me:
For the story or the relationship between the Mindflayer and me, it makes no difference.
In the end, it feels like this scene was only included as a joke. However, the great strength of Baldur’s Gate 3 is that decisions and actions have consequences.
I didn’t necessarily have to fly into the sunset with the Mindflayer in a Nautiloid – even though that would have been pretty cool.
It would have been exciting if some companions had turned away from me due to a more intense relationship with a Mindflayer.
As the character is written, I see no great love. But I would have liked to see the game revolve around self-interest and integrating, between my character and him, developed a bit further – simply because it is something different.
Who knows, maybe in the end we would have even ruled Baldur’s Gate together, assuming we had each other fully under control and were misusing each other for our own purposes.
“Curse and Sewn” is an achievement from Seasonal Journeys in Diablo 3. You need to kill 350 enemies at a cursed chest. In this guide, we will show you how to do that.
What is it about? The Seasonal Journey involves successfully completing three achievements. The first one that most of you will reach after quickly leveling up to 70 is to complete a Greater Nephalem Rift of level 75 solo. But then there are still two left.
The achievement “Curse and Sewn” is relatively easy, where you need to kill 350 enemies at a cursed chest. The challenge is finding a chest that spawns that many enemies. And we will show you where to find it.
Curse and Sewn / Who would have thought? – Guide
What is the task? Essentially, you need to
set at least Torment X
have reached level 70
kill 350 monsters or more at the same cursed chest
In hardcore mode, the achievement is called “Who would have thought?”
What you need to know: Keep in mind that not every cursed chest spawns as many enemies as this achievement requires. At some spots on the map, you may not be able to kill monsters fast enough to achieve this. One chest that is often recommended for “Curse and Sewn” is located in Act 5. Whether it is the only chest that is easily suitable for success is unclear. Nonetheless, this one helps immensely.
Here is the chest in Act 5 – Grab the achievement!
Solo or as a group: It is best to play with 2 or more players to complete the achievement without problems. Everyone should skill AOE abilities.
But don’t worry – even as a solo player, you can successfully complete “Curse and Sewn.” If you have farmed a few hundred Paragon levels and appropriate gear, you should demolish everything that spawns from the chests on Torment X. As a group, it’s just easier.
Finding the right chest – The cursed moor: Open your map and head to the overview for Act 5. In the southwest, you will find the port point “Paths of the Sunken.” Teleport there. (In a group, each member first plays their own game and teleports there.)
Around the waypoint, you will usually find an event. So, walk around the waypoint “Paths of the Sunken” – about 3 screen sizes around the port point (this means the size of an area that you see on your screen at once). So 3 down, 3 to the right, 3 up, 3 to the left. This should help you quickly find an event.
On the map, you will find at most one event. For all events that are not called “The Cursed Moor,” you can cancel the search, start a new game, teleport back to Act 5 “Paths of the Sunken,” and search for an event again.
If you find the event “The Cursed Moor,” the sought chest will appear there. That is your goal for this search. So, invite your group members to the game where the event “The Cursed Moor” is taking place.
While walking around the port point, I came across the sought event “The Cursed Moor”
This is what the event looks like: The cursed moor is characterized by a large hill with a path leading up it. You will quickly recognize it while wandering on the map.
How to save time: There are various events that can start in the Path of the Sunken. As dh-deluxe.de reports, you can immediately cancel the search if you find the following events:
Lord of the Fools (This is a castle in the swamp area)
The Reward of Betrayal (A pillar)
Stalker (An NPC with a blue exclamation mark)
The Burning Man (A fire event)
The Lord of the Hill (Enemies on a hill)
Before entering the waypoint, you can cancel the search if you find the bounty “Lord of the Hill,” “the burning man,” or “Lord of the Fools” in Act 5. These would block the chest anyway, so you should search in a new game straight away.
In short:
Start a game on Torment X
If you are searching with multiple people, each member starts this game individually
Open the map for Act V and check if there are any of the mentioned bounties at the waypoint “Paths of the Sunken.” If not, teleport there
Now check the map around the waypoint for the event “The Cursed Moor”
You will find it on a hill with a winding path leading up
If you find another event there, end the game and start a new one to begin again at point 1
If you find the sought event, you may invite your friends to your match before activating the chest
This is how the event runs: Set up your build so that you can quickly deal a lot of area damage. Also take a look at our Tier list for Season 28 of Diablo 3.
In a group, you can spread a bit at the top of the hill so that the mobs die even faster.
Then activate the chest and shoot like mad. If you do everything right, you should comfortably manage to kill the desired 350 monsters within the provided time.
With my group, we managed that on the first try easily. We eliminated 382 enemies within the time limit.
Why do this? For completing the entire seasonal journey of Diablo 3, you receive a portrait frame and a cool companion.

Do you want to farm Frozen Scream in Diablo 3? We will show you here in the guide how to do it easily.
What kind of item is this? Frozen Scream was introduced with Season 26 in Diablo 3. The concept was so well received that the seasonal theme will remain in the game forever. Now the item is important to unlock level 14 at the Altar of Rites.
We will show you here in the guide where you can loot the item.
Frozen Scream Drop – Where to find it?
Here you farm: The Frozen Scream can drop from Rift bosses in Greater Nephalem Rifts. There is no other source and no other locations for the screams. Only the Greater Rifts. No bounties, no normal rifts.
To obtain the pieces, there are no major prerequisites. You only need to have reached level 70 and take down the boss in Greater Nephalem Rifts.
What is the drop chance? It is relatively low. Although there are no official numbers, it is estimated to be around 5%. It is generally recommended to play Greater Rifts that you can complete quickly. The GR level currently has no effect on the drop rate of the Frozen Screams.
What is it good for? As the item tooltip already explains to you, the Frozen Scream can be used to transmute it in the Kanai’s Cube. Then a portal opens that you can enter as a group or solo. There, you will experience the event “Echoing Nightmare,” which spawns waves of monsters. Depending on the level you reach there, you will receive corresponding loot.
However, Frozen Scream can also be used differently. Through the Altar of Rites, you can unlock certain powers and potion powers. All levels have different requirements to activate the seals.
At level 14, you should use a Frozen Scream to unlock the seal. So make sure to keep one of these items if you want to progress in the Altar.

Gates McFadden spoke in a podcast about her suspicion as to why she was not invited back after the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation and how much sexism she had to deal with during the project.
Who is Gates McFadden? Many will know the American actress as Dr. Beverly Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
However, as she recounted in the podcast Inside of You on June 19, 2023, she had some issues with a writer of the series because she felt certain aspects in Star Trek were sexist and she criticized them as such.

Star Trek: The Next Generation – Trailer for Season 5
“They didn’t want you to speak up”
When asked whether it was true that the actors were fired because of head writer Maurice Hurley on Star Trek, Gates McFadden spoke about her near exit from the famous sci-fi series.
She indicated that she did not really know what the reason was for not being “recalled” after the first season of Star Trek. However, she suspected that disagreements with Hurley were the reason for it.
She further shared that she initially rejected the project twice before she eventually joined as Dr. Beverly Crusher.
Discussing working in Hollywood at that time, she explained: “It was a different time. They wanted women to look pretty and be a certain way, but they didn’t want you to speak up as if you were equals.”
You can watch the YouTube video yourself where the actress talks about Star Trek:

She is sure that she upset Maurice Hurley because she repeatedly criticized one thing: Her character had a son, the brilliant Wesley Crusher, who had saved the spaceship multiple times.
Dr. Beverly Crusher must have influenced her clever son, not just his deceased husband. Yet, male characters always spoke with Wesley whenever something exciting happened, while her character simply stood by and said: “Oh, Wesley! Why didn’t you do that?”
In her opinion, that does not fit a smart woman like Dr. Beverly Crusher. “I thought: Wait a minute, she is a scientist. I don’t buy that. […] And so I had a problem with that.”
Moreover, she stated that the script for the episode Angel One was pretty dumb and sexist. It revolves around a planet inhabited only by beautiful women. They managed perfectly well without men until Will Riker walks onto the planet and suddenly “everyone loses their mind”.
After the actress criticized the episode and its plot and was initially unsure if she wanted to be part of the series, she suspects this led to her not being invited back after the first season.
However, as she shared in another interview, Hurley was no longer involved in the project at a later time, and the producers asked if she would like to return.
Due to receiving numerous fan letters and main actor Patrick Stewart personally reaching out to her, Gates McFadden aka Dr. Beverly Crusher returned for the third season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
How well does Nightingale run on the Steam Deck? MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann tried it out and shares his experiences. And they are not all positive.
Nightingale has launched on Steam. For this reason, I installed the game directly on my Steam Deck. I wanted to see how well the new survival game works on the gaming handheld.
Note: The game has not yet received certification from Valve for the Steam Deck. The manufacturer also emphasized in a statement before the release that the game is not yet optimized for the Steam Deck.
The network error accompanied me constantly on the Steam.
Good performance, too small texts, and constant disconnections
How well does Nightingale run on the Steam Deck? The game runs steadily at low settings (performance) with 30 FPS on the Steam Deck. It does get very warm, but the noise remains manageable. Some settings can also be increased, making the game look a bit nicer while still staying stable at 30 FPS. The system requirements for Nightingale are reasonable and pose no significant challenges for gaming handhelds.
As soon as I increase the FPS limit to 60, the Steam Deck gets hot and noticeably loud. Switching from the standard Proton version to “Proton Experimental” brought a bit more stability.
What problems exist? The game is far from optimized, and that is noticeable in many areas of the game:
The menus are partially cut off at the edge and not completely visible, for example in the building menu.
Some menus and tasks cannot be controlled with the controller; you will then need a mouse or your finger to close and confirm menus. This applies, for example, to story sections, the production menu, or when you need to choose cards for portals.
The texts are sometimes extremely tiny and hardly readable. This is especially true for the inventory or for the item list at the bottom right. Other texts, like the tutorials, are very readable. Unfortunately, texts cannot generally be scaled or enlarged. The only tool you can use is the digital screen magnifier from the Steam Deck, but that is cumbersome and inaccurate.
In character creation, certain settings cannot be made with the controller.
The biggest problem for me was, in any case, a stable connection to the servers. Sometimes I needed 3 or 4 attempts to connect to the server and game. After my character was finished and I wanted to enter the game, I initially lost the connection. After 3 more attempts, it worked. When switching worlds, I was promptly kicked from the server as well.
The always-online requirement has only annoyed me on the Steam Deck so far, and whether this will really improve is another question.
The texts in Nightingale are sometimes extremely small. Pay attention to the text at the bottom right or on the inventory slots.
By the way, I did not have problems on the gaming PC. However, here the game annoyed me with a “driver update” requirement: Nightingale cannot be started with older graphics card software. Whoever thought that up.
The productions can only be confirmed with a mouse or finger.The portal menu cannot be controlled properly with the controller.
Wait to play Nightingale if the Steam Deck is your platform
Is Nightingale worth it for the Steam Deck? No, not at this point (yet). The developer also emphasized at the release that the game is not yet optimized for the handheld console. And the lack of optimization is noticeable in all corners of the game.
If you absolutely want to play Nightingale on the Steam Deck, you should wait until the developer has optimized the game. Until then, the game simply feels better on PC. I was quite disappointed at times and was especially annoyed by the server problems. I truly appreciate games like Enshrouded or Palworld, which work significantly more stable and better on the Steam Deck.
Nightingale on the Steam Deck: When it runs, it runs well – if the servers allow it.
What could improve? On one hand, the developer could still work on controller support and correct problematic settings in the long run. This would make it smoother and more pleasant to control on the Steam Deck.
Additionally, FSR 3.0 is expected to come to Nightingale soon. This promises a significant performance increase with less heat development. Then stable 60 FPS should also be possible at higher settings. At least I am cautiously optimistic.
What is unlikely to change? The permanent online binding of Nightingale has annoyed me the most; this problem is unlikely to fully disappear. If you want to play Nightingale without the internet on a train or during a boring car ride in the passenger seat, forget it.
Update: The developers have now announced that they will be equip Nightingale with an offline mode. This could solve the biggest problem for me on the Steam Deck.
More games for the Steam Deck: If you are looking for very good alternatives for your Steam Deck, check out this list. Here you will find a dozen really good games that look particularly great on the Steam Deck OLED:
In Pokémon GO, the great Sinnoh Tour is looming and brings you a number of new Shinys. We will show you which monsters you can look forward to and where you can find them here on MeinMMO.
What event is it about? On February 24 and 25, the great Sinnoh Tour takes place in Pokémon GO. In addition to a lot of spawns, raids, and bonuses, you can also expect a number of new Shinys. A total of 12 will celebrate their global debut for this event and are available without purchasing a ticket.
We have summarized which new shiny monsters you can look forward to and where you can find them during the event in the following overview.
Update from February 24: On routes, White-line Barschuft can be found during the event, even as a Shiny with some luck.

All new Shinys for the Sinnoh Tour & their locations
Which Pokémon is it about? In Pokémon GO, you can find not only the normal forms of individual monsters, but some of them are also available as Shinys. They differ in color from their standard form and are relatively rare. For this reason, they are particularly sought after by most trainers.
During the Sinnoh Tour, you can catch all monsters from this region in their shiny form for the first time, which is why the following 12 are celebrating their global debut on this occasion:
We have summarized how the shiny Pokémon look and where you can find them below.
Pachirisu
What kind of Pokémon is this? Pachirisu is a regional Pokémon of the Electric type that you can usually find only in Alaska and Canada, as well as previously in the Northeast of Russia. It has no pre-evolutions or further evolutions.
Where can you find it during the event? Pachirisu hides in the 10 km eggs during the Sinnoh Tour. To get it, you will have to hatch diligently. The Shiny has a white body with pink accents from the head to the tail.
By the way: If you can’t wait until the weekend or simply want to secure more chances, you can already catch Pachirisu and two other regional monsters as Shinys with a bit of luck.
What kind of Pokémon is this? While Palimpalim, the evolution of the baby Pokémon Klingplim, has been available as a Shiny in the game for a while, now it’s finally the Psychic Pokémon’s turn.
Where can you find it during the event? Klingplim hides with some other baby Pokémon in the 2 km eggs. So you will need some luck to secure a specimen. You recognize it by its yellow body and the yellow-white striped ribbons on its head.
Skunkapuh and Skuntank
What kind of Pokémon are these? Skunkapuh is a Poison- and Dark-type Pokémon that can evolve into Skuntank. Skuntank is relatively strong and is therefore one of the best Poison attackers in Pokémon GO.
Where can you find them during the event? Skunkapuh spawns during the event in the habitat Toxic Excavation Sites. Thus, it can be found in the wild. It also hatches from 5 km eggs. The shiny form has a pink body. To secure Shiny Skuntank, you need to evolve your shiny Skunkapuh accordingly.
Plaudagei
What kind of Pokémon is this? Another regional Pokémon making its worldwide Shiny debut is Plaudagei. It actually comes from the southern hemisphere and belongs to the Normal and Flying types. It has no pre-evolutions or further evolutions.
Where can you find it during the event? Like Pachirisu, Plaudagei is available to all players in the 10 km eggs. You recognize it by its blue body and red wings.
Venuflibis
What kind of Pokémon is this? The third regional Pokémon celebrating its worldwide Shiny release during the Sinnoh Tour is Venuflibis. The Grass-type Pokémon has no pre-evolutions or further evolutions and is usually found in the southeastern USA.
Where can you find it during the event? Venuflibis will also be found in the 10 km eggs. In its shiny form, it has a slightly lighter body than its normal form. So be sure to look closely.
Primal forms of Dialga & Palkia
What kind of Pokémon are these? The Sinnoh Tour is all about time and space, which is why the legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia must not be missing. This time, their primal forms are also included for the first time. Like their normal forms, they have no pre-evolutions or further evolutions.
Where can you find them during the event? You will find the primal forms of Dialga and Palkia during the habitats Historic Grove and Geothermal Lagoon in Level 5 raids. You can recognize the shiny Dialga (primal form) by its turquoise body, while shiny Palkia (primal form) is pink. Additionally, the two monsters offer further bonuses for you.
Hisui-Voltobal and Hisui-Lektrobal
What kind of Pokémon are these? Hisui-Voltobal is the Hisui form of the Electric Pokémon Voltobal from the first generation. It belongs to the Electric and Plant types and can evolve into Hisui-Lektrobal.
Where can you find them during the event? You can encounter Hisui-Voltobal during the weekend in the habitat Historic Grove or hatch it from 5 km eggs. In its shiny form, it has a charcoal and beige body. To secure Hisui-Lektrobal as shiny, you will need to evolve it accordingly.
Hisui-Baldorfish and Myriador
What kind of Pokémon are these? Another Hisui form is Hisui-Baldorfish. Unlike Baldorfish from the second generation of games, this Dark and Poison Pokémon can evolve into Myriador.
Where can you find them during the event? Hisui-Baldorfish is part of the habitat Geothermal Lagoon and therefore spawns in the wild. Alternatively, you can also find it in the 5 km eggs. You recognize the shiny by its white and purple body. As with Hisui-Voltobal, you need to evolve it in order to obtain a shiny Myriador.
Our most important articles about the Sinnoh Tour 2024:
In addition to the Pokémon that you can catch for the first time in their shiny form during the Sinnoh Tour, there are also a few other shiny monsters that you shouldn’t overlook:
Costumed Pikachu: For the Sinnoh Tour, Pikachu has once again dressed up and can be found in the wild wearing Lucius’ cap, Lucia’s hat, Lumius’ cap, and Lumia’s kerchief. With a bit of luck, you can also snag a shiny specimen here.
Icognito: The Psychic Pokémon from the second generation of games will also be present during the event weekend. You can find it in its forms H, I, N, O, and S when you activate incense. With some luck, you can also snag a shiny version of this one.
What about Rotom and Barschuft (White-line)? Both Pokémon celebrated their Shiny debut during the Sinnoh Tour in Los Angeles. They also play a role in the global Sinnoh Tour. While you can secure Rotom through research, Barschuft spawns on routes. Currently, however, only Barschuft (White-line) can be found as a Shiny with some luck.
How do you like the new Shinys? Which one do you definitely want to secure? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
