What is my overall first impression of Nightingale? Overall, I can say that I really enjoyed the first hours in Nightingale. It is particularly important to me in new survival games that they offer innovative aspects, and Nightingale has several of them.

I find it particularly impressive that you can travel to new areas through portals that are different each time, depending on the maps you use for traveling. Additionally, the magic aspect is not neglected, which offers many new possibilities, especially in the mid and end-game, such as tracking Apex creatures or jumping over higher obstacles.

Overall, the game has positively surprised me so far, and I am excited about what the studio has planned for the future.

If you can’t wait until the release of Nightingale and are already looking for a new survival game today, this list can help you find the right game for you:

Diablo 3 Bounty Rewards: What rewards do the bounties bring?

Patrick Freese 12. February 2024 Reading time 5 minutes

In Diablo 3, you can complete bounties and earn Great Horadric Chests as a reward. The contents vary by act and difficulty. We will show you what rewards the bounties bring.

What are bounties? If you open the map in the Adventure Mode of Diablo 3 (on PC with the “M” key), you will see an overview with 5 bounties in the bottom right corner of each act. They are always similar: “Kill mob XY and 50 other enemies,” “Purify the cursed chest at this location,” “Kill all enemies on level 2 of this cave,” and so on.

For completing the individual bounties, you can expect some gold and experience points (EP). If you complete 5 bounties from one act, you will receive a Great Horadric Chest. We will show you what is inside and how the chests differ from act to act.

Bounty Rewards Act 1 to 5 – What’s Inside?

This is the loot: In each Great Horadric Chest, you will find crafting materials, a few items, gold, and recipes (until you have all possible recipes). Additionally, there is a chance for legendary items, which you can only obtain from these chests. The chance for these items increases at higher difficulty levels. Which legendary items drop depends on which act you received the chest from.

Below, we show you the loot at Torment 16 difficulty. At lower difficulties, the chances of getting items and the number of materials decrease.

Act I

This is in the bounty pouch:

1,640,000 Gold
90 Reusable Parts (white)
94 Arcane Dust (blue)
34 Flawed Crystal (yellow)
135 Blood Shards
22 Khanduran Runes
6 Breath of Death
Max. 2 items that are at least rare (Yellow)
2 Legendary Items
Max. 4 gems

Which legendary items can be inside? From the bounty of Act I, the Ring of Royal Grandeur is particularly worthwhile. It is part of many builds, as it reduces the required number of set items by 1. The other four items are rarely used in builds.

Act II

This is in the bounty pouch:

1,640,000 Gold
90 Reusable Parts (white)
94 Arcane Dust (blue)
34 Flawed Crystal (yellow)
135 Blood Shards
22 Nightshade from Caldeum
6 Breath of Death
Max. 2 items that are at least rare (Yellow)
2 Legendary Items
Max. 4 gems

Which legendary items can be inside? The gloves and shoes are used in some builds and can be worthwhile.

Act III

This is in the bounty pouch:

1,640,000 Gold
90 Reusable Parts (white)
94 Arcane Dust (blue)
34 Flawed Crystal (yellow)
135 Blood Shards
22 Wall Tapestry from Arreat
6 Breath of Death
Max. 2 items that are at least rare (Yellow)
2 Legendary Items
Max. 4 gems

Which legendary items can be inside?

Act IV

This is in the bounty pouch:

1,640,000 Gold
90 Reusable Parts (white)
94 Arcane Dust (blue)
34 Flawed Crystal (yellow)
135 Blood Shards
22 Corrupted Angel Flesh
6 Breath of Death
Max. 2 items that are at least rare (Yellow)
2 Legendary Items
Max. 4 gems

Which legendary items can be inside? Act IV has no “own” legendary items that can drop from the Great Horadric Chest. Instead, there is a chance to receive two legendary items from all other acts.

22 Holy Water from Westmark
6 Breath of Death
Max. 2 items that are at least rare (Yellow)
2 Legendary Items
Max. 4 gems

Which legendary items can be inside?

Why do bounties exist?

Here’s what they’re good for: At the beginning of a new season, players complete the bounties to unlock, for example, recipes for the blacksmith. Additionally, the bounties are needed to complete the seasonal journey.

Even during the further course of the game, the special act materials are needed. If you want to extract legendary properties or reforge legendary items with Kanai’s Cube, you will need the materials.

There are even communities like “Bounties and Rifts” where you can form groups to farm bounties together. Players split up among the different acts and all contribute to quickly collecting the 5 Great Horadric Chests from a game. Speed builds are preferred in this process.

User is too lazy to buy a screw, prefers to attach his SSD with tape on the motherboard

Martin Vollert 12. February 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

When installing his M.2 SSD, a user was missing a screw for mounting. Instead of buying a suitable screw, he preferred to use a piece of tape.

Installing an M.2 SSD in a gaming PC is usually not a big deal. You may need to remove the graphics card first if it blocks the SSD slot. Ideally, the M.2 SSD just needs to be inserted and secured with a screw.

If the designated screws are missing or not found, one should make the effort to procure suitable replacements. A user recently demonstrated on Reddit how not to secure an M.2 SSD without the right screw.

Start video

Manufacturer shows sleek case, gamers are thrilled: “Great design! Goes directly onto my wishlist”

Autoplay

No screw is not a solution in the long run

What did the user do with the SSD? The Reddit user MagicZhang received a picture from a friend showing his SSD. The photo shows how the M.2 SSD is mounted on the motherboard with a piece of tape. The friend asked him if his mounting method was okay.

An M.2 SSD is significantly smaller than conventional models in the SATA form factor. At the same time, it is faster in data processing than its larger predecessors that are connected via SATA interfaces. Almost every current motherboard has M.2 slots.

In the comments under the Reddit post, it quickly becomes clear what the community thinks of this solution. Many users have no understanding for this mounting method and accuse the SSD owner of a certain laziness. They fear follow-up problems due to the omission of a screw.

Are screws really so expensive today or has laziness reached a point where people feel it’s okay to solve problems half-heartedly with solutions that could later actually cause bigger problems?
kailedude on Reddit

What problems could arise? In the simplest case, the tape could simply come loose from the motherboard, and the M.2 SSD would only be held by the slot on the motherboard. If the storage medium is still fully seated in the M.2 slot, it could continue to function unnoticed.

As M.2 SSDs can reach temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees during operation under high load due to their design (via easeus.de), the tape can dry out and deform. Sooner or later, the SSD will no longer be held securely and may at least partially lose contact with the slot.

As a result, system crashes threaten if the storage medium is used as a Windows drive. In the worst case, important data will be lost if no backup is available. If the M.2 SSD unfortunately falls out of the slot, it could damage this or nearby hardware.

Player wonders why her laptop overheats while gaming, problem is solved with a simple gesture

von Claudio Niggenkemper

How to prevent follow-up problems? The simplest solution is to purchase suitable screws for the M.2 slot on the motherboard. Normally, these screws come with the motherboard or are already attached to the motherboard accordingly.

Screws that are larger than the existing thread should definitely not be used. If you want to remove the oversized screw later, it could damage the motherboard. Using the wrong screw also poses a risk of a crack in the SSD board.

Some manufacturers now offer motherboards that use a plastic clip instead of a screw for mounting. Depending on the motherboard manufacturer, this clip may need to be manually positioned correctly by the user when installing the SSD or it may self-lock during the process.

If you are unsure about either method, ask someone who is knowledgeable about it or check if the motherboard manufacturer has corresponding video tutorials available. As an example, you can find here two videos from MSI for mounting with a screw or a plastic clip.

With an M.2 SSD, it is tempting to mount it incorrectly when the suitable screws are not available. We have explained why you should not do this. For SATA-format SSDs, the conditions for installation in a gaming PC are different. But there are also users who are too lazy to do it the right way: Builders are shocked: User is too lazy to unpack his new SSD, just hangs it in his gaming PC

Ubisoft is making a big wave, but Skull & Bones is drowning on Twitch against the new Steam hit

Schuhmann 12. February 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Skull & Bones, the pirate MMO from Ubisoft, made its debut on Twitch during the open beta on February 8. Ubisoft has high expectations for the “AAAA” game. With 2.35 million hours, it had a strong start, but it faded against Helldivers 2, the new Steam hit. It launched on February 8 and quickly reached much higher viewer numbers.

How successful was Skull & Bones on Twitch? Skull and Bones launched on February 8 on Twitch and peaked just a few hours after the beta started:

At its peak, 88,000 simultaneous viewers watched the game.
So far, a total of 2.5 million hours have been reached.

Who showed the game? 586 channels streamed the game: The leading hours were spent by relatively unknown streamers like BrukeBlack and MissMikkaa, who invested numerous hours in Skull & Bones.

Among the big names, shroud and LIRIK appeared in the top 6, having played for only a few hours.

The biggest German streamer was Trymacs, who also only set sail for 3 hours.

Helldivers 2 dominates Twitch among new players

Who won Twitch this week? Helldivers 2 is the big winner on Twitch this week. The third-person shooter launched simultaneously with Skull & Bones, but achieved significantly higher numbers:

At its peak, Helldivers 2 had 154,231 viewers.
Overall, the title achieved 4.4 million hours watched.

Shooter God is having a great time in the new title:

In Germany, D1rtyD3vil is leading, ahead of Ranzratte and a certain Maurice Weber.

There is still some room for improvement in Germany.

Ubisoft caused confusion with Skull & Bones by justifying the high price of the title by claiming that Skull & Bones is a AAAA game. The term doesn’t actually exist:

After 21,136 hours with a single game, he comments on Steam: ‘I think the first 20,000 hours were okay’

Christoph Waldboth 12. February 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

A player has spent over 20,000 hours in a single game. More specifically, in Civilization 5. His impressions of the game were captured in a Steam review.

What game are we talking about? Civilization 5, written as V in Roman numerals, is a strategy game developed by Firaxis released in 2010. Remember the year of release, it will be important later.

The Civilization series counts six main entries to date, as well as a handful of expansions and standalone games that incorporate elements of the main titles. For example, Civilization: Beyond Earth, which takes place in a foreign galaxy.

Civilization, affectionately dubbed “Civ,” belongs to the genre of global strategy. In it, players guide their civilization through various epochs to victory, which can be achieved in different ways. Regardless of whether one defeats other nations through military, culture, science, or diplomacy, everything always takes place in turns.

This causes players to quickly lose track of time. Hours pass, and before you know it, another night has gone by. Just recently, a player shared the story of her mother who spent a lot of time in Civ 3. It must have been similar for a player who spent not a hundred, not a thousand, but a full 21,136 hours in Civ V.

Start video

Civilization V Announcement Trailer

After 20,000 hours, it was time for a conclusion

What does this mean for the player? Primarily, that the player, who goes by simon on Steam, truly loves the game. The 21,136 hours do not come about by chance. For comparison: Since the game’s release on September 21, 2010, more than 108,000 hours have passed. Over 20,000 of those were spent by the player civilizing his digital nations. In years, simon was engaged for almost two and a half years.

What is the player’s conclusion? While many players are quick to write a Steam review after just a few hours in a game, simon apparently wanted to know for sure. Only after the aforementioned 21,136 hours did he type up his review on Steam. And it was, contrary to what one might expect, short and concise.

He writes: “I guess the first 20,000 hours were okay…”

That the game must have pleased him outside of this extremely modest assessment is shown by the impressive playtime alone.

While Civilization is a series that works wonderfully on the “just one more turn” principle and can definitely keep you in front of the screen longer than initially intended, the playtime still reflects an above-average passion for the game. Another player, on the other hand, dedicated 20,000 hours to an MMORPG.

von Schuhmann

What do other players think about it? Some other Steam users are a bit skeptical about simon’s impressive number. Under the review, some comment that the user Kaszanka-Szatanka finds it “fake” or the user Cyril asks: “Don’t you have anything else to do?”

AfricanBear is mainly interested in one thing: “Did you get all the achievements?”

A response remained unanswered by simon. It seems he has also neglected the current sixth installment of the Civ series in favor of part 5. Instead of switching to part 6 upon its release in 2016, simon remained loyal to his good, old Civilization V. Otherwise, the enormous playtime cannot be explained. MeinMMO author Schuhmann has a current hot tip for fans of the strategy series.

WoW player sets world record in continuous gaming – beats old record by over 23 hours

Cortyn 12. February 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The longest session of World of Warcraft of all time – this record has now been set by a Hungarian player. Could you break it?

“Just a quick round of World of Warcraft,” that can easily spiral out of control. What starts as half an hour of mining ores suddenly turns into a long evening filled with raids, dungeons, and quests. But to set the world record, it takes a bit more.

The Hungarian Barnabás Vujity-Zsolnay has now managed to set the world record in the category “Longest video game marathon playing an MMORPG,” and the time is definitely impressive. He played continuously for almost 2 1/2 days – leaving the old record far behind.

How long did he play? In total, Barnabás clocked in a playtime of 59 hours and 20 minutes – he played for two days and nights straight and then added another half day. With this, he has left the old record far behind – as it was “only” 35 hours and 49 minutes. Barnabás is now the new world record holder (via guinnessworldrecords.com).

Note: Guinness and the recorded records are often considered controversial. There are frequent allegations that records can simply be bought by defining a record attempt so specifically that it runs almost without competition and one automatically succeeds. The ZDF Magazin Royale addressed these accusations satirically.

This is what the player says about the record: Interestingly, he did not achieve the world record without difficulty. After about 30 hours, he became genuinely bored after having filled the time before with dungeons and arena battles. It became truly strenuous after 45 hours, as he describes, when the first hallucinations set in due to sleep deprivation:

I noticed how the first hallucinations formed. It was funny, but also a bit exhausting to keep concentrating on the stream.

In the end, he succeeded in the attempt entirely without relying on caffeine – he only drank water and managed to consume a proud amount of nearly 15 liters.

Barnabás is a long-time WoW fan. He has been playing for over 10 years and started as a teenager. In the past, he has played up to 10 hours a day, often even 16 hours on weekends. Regarding this, he says:

I do not regret having spent that much time on the game, but I do not recommend it to anyone either. I love the game and will reclaim the record if it ever gets broken. It belongs to me for life – I want everyone to know that.

The entire world record attempt was broadcast live on the website esport1.hu, and the proceeds from the stream will be donated to charitable causes.

Were there also breaks? Yes, there were. For every full hour that Barnabás spent in World of Warcraft, he earned 5 minutes of break – for eating, going to the bathroom, or resting for a moment. These are the usual conditions for such “marathon records,” it says on the Guinness website.

Nevertheless, a session of World of Warcraft lasting 59 hours is quite remarkable.

A company develops a mouse for the mouth, with which you can make phone calls and even play games

Benedikt Schlotmann 12. February 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The company Augmental has introduced a “mouse for the mouth”. With this mouse, nearly all inputs on the computer can be controlled with the mouth. The company promises advantages for paralyzed individuals from this product.

The company Augmental has introduced a mouth mouse. The MouthPad^ looks like a dental brace that sits on the palate. The MouthPad^ is transparent around the teeth, and in the center, there is a golden touchpad that represents the contact point for the tongue. Inside, there is also a force sensor that captures left and right clicks or can be allocated in other ways.

The device can perceive movements of the tongue so that users can scroll, type, make phone calls, and even play games with a flick or click of the tongue.

Company presents a mouse that you can control with your thoughts

Crimson Desert: The best settings for the most FPS

Mouse for people with disabilities, but also for mechanics and surgeons

Who is the mouse aimed at? The company developed the MouthPad^ as an aid for people with disabilities, specifically for those with a hand disability or paralysis. It can connect via Bluetooth to any tablet, phone, or computer.

The founders stated that the device was developed mainly because they have friends and acquaintances who have difficulties handling modern devices.

At the same time, as Corbin Halliwill, a software developer at Augmental, explained, other groups of people are also interested in the product. For example, mechanics or surgeons, as well as astronauts who would like to try the device on the International Space Station (ISS) (via cbs.news.com)

When will the device be released? The device is said to be released later this year (2024), and you can already sign up on a “Waitlist” directly with the manufacturer if you are interested in the product.

Are there already individuals who can try the device? Yes, the company itself states that some users have already tested the device, such as a freshman in mechanical engineering who uses the MouthPad^ as the primary input device for her computer and phone. Halliwill explains:

She types math problems with the MouthPad. It is amazing to talk with her, to talk with her family… and to see how much it moves her.

Fortnite: Players regret spending so much money on skins they never wear

Christos Tsogos 12. February 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Fortnite has existed for 6 years now, and those who have been there since the beginning have a huge collection of skins in their locker. Many players are now wondering after all these years why they carelessly bought so many skins, even though they only play a fraction of them.

What are fans discussing? A post about skins appeared on Reddit. User Mister-Squidward asked the Reddit community if he was stupid for having bought 236 skins, but only using 15-20 from his collection.

The thread exploded in just 2 days with 4000 upvotes, and even prompted many players in the comments to share their opinions about the contributor’s locker. Many are in the same situation, but some fans can even explain Mister-Squidward’s unrestrained desire to buy.

Start video

FOMO and Exclusivity of Skins

How have fans expressed themselves? In the comments, many voices can be heard from those who have a large collection of skins, but only play a few of them. Fans write the following:

“Honestly, if I could go back, I would rarely buy skins and instead complete all the Battle Passes […]” – says bellydrumgigaimpact
“You and I both. I have around 300 (skins), what I like to do is randomly select a skin so it changes every game” – advises Disastrous_Duck_3252
“I own more, and more than half of the time I only use Rick.” – admits KingOfMasters1000028
“I, who has 620 and only uses 1 (Color Crush)” – confesses scuffedoncringe

Despite this, the urge to buy in Fortnite can also be explained in the form of FOMO, as Reddit user fmxrcuryy admits. The Fortnite shop rotates every day at a specific time. Some skins appear often over several weeks, while others are exclusive and can only be purchased on certain days before being pushed into the vault for several years.

von Alexander Mehrwald

This creates a purchasing urge for many players, as they want to secure that one skin that they might otherwise miss out on. One could never forgive oneself for not having that one skin available when they want to use it.

Your MeinMMO author Christos Tsogos has also splurged and owns over 300 skins, but only uses one of them. Half of them are shop skins. So if you were to ask me now if I would spend that much money in Fortnite again, I would rather invest or save my money. Despite this, I now have a respectable collection and hopefully, I can still admire it after 5 years.

How many skins do you own, and do you regret spending so much money in Fortnite? Let us know in the comments!

“Best spot in a decade” – Commercial clip delights with musical performance by Scrubs stars and Jason Momoa

Marie Friske 12. February 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The medical series Scrubs ended after 9 seasons in 2010. However, a Super Bowl commercial recently gave us a singing and dancing performance by the two actors of J.D. and Turk alongside Aquaman star Jason Momoa.

The medical series and sitcom Scrubs depicts the everyday life at the hospital of John “J.D.” Dorian, who works at Sacred Heart Hospital with his best friend Dr. Christopher Duncan Turk.

Scrubs aired from 2001 to 2010 and comprises 9 seasons. Now, 14 years after the show ended, we once again see the two Scrubs actors Zach Braff and Donald Faison aka J.D. and Turk together in a short humorous commercial from T-Mobile – alongside Jason Momoa.

Here you can watch the commercial with the Scrubs stars and Jason Momoa:

In the clip, Zach Braff and Donald Faison welcome their new neighbor Jason Momoa, which ends in a small musical interlude where the three stars sing and dance through the front yard.

What do users think? Users on YouTube celebrate the commercial in the comments. References to the movie Flashdance (1983) are noted positively, such as the appearance of actress Jennifer Beals.

The sight of J.D. and Turk also makes some users miss the series Scrubs. For example, a YouTube user said: “This commercial makes me wish for a return of Scrubs.”

In March 2023, the series creator Bill Lawrence spoke about the possibility of a reunion movie for Scrubs and sparked hope. You can read more about it here with our colleagues from Filmstarts.

LoL developer says the ‘Loser’s Queue’ doesn’t exist – players say: ‘I refuse to believe that’

Niko Hernes 12. February 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

A larger myth in the lower ranks of League of Legends is the Loser´s Queue. Many players are convinced that they are intentionally paired with worse teammates so that they lose. A Riot developer is now clearing up this myth.

What is the Loser´s Queue?

According to some players, the matchmaking is supposed to be manipulated
It is said that players are intentionally paired with worse teammates so that they lose
This is supposed to happen especially when one is on a losing streak
Players on a winning streak are said to win more often, so they play more, while players on a losing streak are supposedly encouraged to play more because they want to reach their true rank

There has never been any official evidence, aside from personal accounts. A physics student even analyzed the opposite. To counter this myth, League of Legends gameplay designer RiotPhroxzon has made statements.

The Loser´s Queue does not exist

Matt Leung-Harrison, known as RiotPhroxzon, posted an explanation of the Losers Queue on x.com. At the beginning, he directly clarifies: The Loser´s Queue does not exist. We do not intentionally put bad players in your team so that you lose more.

He also questions the fundamental idea of why players should be made to lose instead of being allocated good players so they can win. The only factor for ranking is oneself. If one should win a lot and then loses, it is because they are playing against better players.

He describes that many matches where players claim they played perfectly still contain many mistakes that are game-defining.

I promise you, if a good player reviews your games, there are hundreds of things you could have done differently that could have changed the course of the game.
Matt Leung-Harrison on x.com

According to him, the reason for many lost matches lies in the mentality of the players. A good non-giving-up-attitude would help many players. Additionally, he gives three tips at the end of the post that can help you improve.

1. Most players play too conservatively with a lead
2. Review every death
3. Play towards your win condition while recognizing and disrupting those of others.

Among the comments on the post, many people are gathering to mock the myth of the Loser´s Queue, but there are also some who firmly believe in the myth.

@iamghostdesigns: I refuse to believe that
@KlausTito: That’s a lie, and you know it
@Lena_miaou: I think I’m more annoyed by the attitude of giving up and by the people who troll after a death.

Many of the justifications are not really plausible and rather appear to be angry responses. A significant point in the statement, however, is about surrendering, which has become a major issue for many players: Players in LoL are frustrated because teammates give up too quickly in ranked: “It’s completely out of control”

He built the most important map for CS:GO, sold it to Steam giant Valve and regrets it today

Schuhmann 12. February 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

The Swedish developer Michael Hüll regrets today that he sold his map “Mirage” for the shooter CS:GO to the Steam giant Valve 11 years ago. He says he wouldn’t do it anymore today. It’s not about money at all, but about pride and honor. He disagrees with some changes made to Mirage.

What kind of map is this?

The map “Mirage” was released for CS:GO on June 6, 2013. It is a map where you have to defuse a bomb. It takes place in Morocco.
The map was originally designed for Counter-Strike 1.6 as “de_cpl_strike”.
As 3DJuegos knows, Mirage has since become the most popular map in CS:GO, even surpassing Dust 2 in popularity. Mirage has been played in every major, the most important eSports events in CS:GO.

“If I had known how big CS:GO would become, I would never have sold it”

This is what the creator of the map says: Michael Hüll stated on Twitter on February 8 that he sold the map to Valve 11 years ago. If he had known how big CS:GO and Counter-Strike 2 would become, he would have never sold it.

They made a good deal, but also made some changes that he does not agree with. He refers to some changes to “A” and to the center of the map that would have altered how the map is played today.

von Johanna

It’s not about money for him, but about honor and pride

Is he annoyed that he would have received more for it today? At first glance, one might think money is the main reason:

When he sold the map in 2013, CS:GO had around 34,000 players on Steam.
Today there are 1.2 million.
Therefore, one can assume that he would have received much more money for his creation today.

But he says: It’s not the money that drives him, as he works on his own, but really the changes to the map that he does not like.

The recognition he has received over the years for the map is more important to him than money. For him, pride and honor are what matter most.

Even under this Twitter thread, some congratulate him for having created the “best map in CS:GO,” which clearly pleases him.

Currently works as a Senior Level Designer at a subsidiary of Bethesda

So what is he doing today? Michael Hüll works as a video game developer, specifically as a Senior Level Designer for MachineGames in Uppsala, who are developing the new Indiana Jones game for Bethesda.

That Valve is indeed making enough money with CS:GO to pay map designers is beyond question:

Pokémon GO changes how you use promo codes on Android – Here’s how it works

Max Handwerk 12. February 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Promo codes in Pokémon GO are popular for getting new items or other bonuses. The input process on Android is now changing.

What are promo codes? Occasionally, codes are shared that grant players bonuses in Pokémon GO. Usually, these bonuses are useful items, but sometimes they can also include things like avatar items or even Pokémon encounters.

A list of active promo codes for February 2024 can be found here.

How were promo codes entered on Android before? It was very simple: You just had to scroll down in the shop of the game within the app until you reached the “Promos” field. There you would enter the code.

Now, however, developer Niantic is changing how this works. Instead of the previous simple way, Android users now also have to take the detour that iOS users are already familiar with.

Start video

Pokémon GO shows the new season “Timeless Travels” in the trailer

Autoplay

Changes to promo codes on Android starting February 13

This is changing: From February 13, Android users will also have to go through the web store to enter promo codes, the Pokémon GO team announced via the blog (via pokemongolive.com).

iOS users already know this: Niantic’s former “redemption page” was recently moved to the Pokémon GO web store. You can find the link to redeem codes here (via pokemongolive.com).

How does this work? Instead of entering the code in the game, starting February 13, you need to:

Visit the web store
Log in there with your Pokémon GO account
Players with Trainer Club accounts must link another sign-in service to redeem offers
Then enter the code in the field
Now switch back to the game. You should see a pop-up indicating that a code has been successfully redeemed.

Sometimes the pop-up message does not appear immediately, or the activation may take a little while. However, you can check in your account’s log if the code activation was successful.

von Max Handwerk

Why is Pokémon GO doing this? In the announcement, it states: “Our goal was to create a central contact point for everyone. We hope the transition will be easy for all trainers.”

However, the change has initially received criticism from trainers. Some players on the Pokémon GO subreddit, “TheSilphRoad”, regret the change, as it is a detour that Android users did not have to take before (via reddit).

As it stands, the decision is less popular than other adjustments that have been made recently. For example, Niantic implemented an update that allows you to feed your buddy faster and is also testing further quality-of-life improvements. You can learn more about the updates in Pokémon GO here.

WoW players celebrate the item ‘Cozy Sleeping Bag’ – It forces you not to play

Cortyn 12. February 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

A break from World of Warcraft – that’s exactly what a new item forces. Exactly these forced breaks are quite celebrated by some players.

In World of Warcraft Classic, the “Season of Discoveries” is currently running and the second phase has begun. This not only comes with new rules, such as the ban on GDKP, but also with fresh secrets and exclusive items. One of these items makes the players quite excited – because it forces them to take a break every now and then. This seems to be a real blessing for the hardcore community of Classic.

What is this item? We’re talking about the item “Cozy Sleeping Bag”. This is a new item in the Season of Discoveries. The sleeping bag has a high cooldown of almost 3 hours, but the effect is worth it:

When you activate the sleeping bag, you roll it out on the ground. For every minute you spend motionless in the sleeping bag, you get a 1% XP buff – this is stackable up to a maximum of 3% if you spend a full 3 minutes in the sleeping bag. The buff lasts for 2 hours afterward.

The sleeping bag is not consumed, so you can use it again afterward. Other players in your group can also simply lie down next to you to benefit from the XP bonus.

So the sleeping bag “forces” you to take a 3-minute break every few hours to benefit from an XP buff.

How to get the Cozy Sleeping Bag in WoW SoD

You receive the sleeping bag as a reward at the end of a questline, for which you basically have to travel around the entire world (of Warcraft). We will soon reveal how to secure the sleeping bag.

Alliance characters:

Step 1: Travel to Westfall to the coordinates 37 / 50. In the collapsed, burnt wooden beams, you will find a charred corpse. Click on it to start the quest “…and this note you found.”
Step 2: Travel to the Barrens to the coordinates 46 / 74. Here too, you will find a charred corpse. Complete the quest and accept the new quest “Stepping Stones”.

Horde characters:

Step 1: Travel to the Barrens to the coordinates 46 / 74. Here you will find a charred corpse that starts the quest “…and this note you found.” when clicked.
Step 2: Travel to Westfall to the coordinates 37 / 50. In the collapsed, burnt wooden beams, you will find another charred corpse. Complete the quest and then accept “Stepping Stones”.

After this, both factions continue identically:

Step 3: Travel to the Stonecrag Mountains to the coordinates 51 / 52. Here begins a small path that you follow to an abandoned camp (41 / 52). On a small crate, you will find “Pocket Trash” – click it to complete “Stepping Stones” and accept the new mission “Get out of here”.
Step 4: From the camp, go directly north. In the distance, you can see a small “dirt pile” that you need to make some skillful jumps to reach. Click the pile, complete the quest and accept the new task “Wet Affair”.
Step 5: Travel to Loch Modan to the coordinates 49 / 13 and click on a small eagle statue. The statue is located on the large heads of the dam that protrude towards the Wetlands. Hand in your quest and accept “Eagle Claw”.
Step 6: Travel to the Hillsbrad Foothills, at the border to the Arathi Highlands. At the coordinates 87 / 50, you will find a tipped-over cart that you can climb onto the Thoradin Wall. In a small room on the wall, you can see a courier bag hanging on the wall, along with a note. Complete your quest and accept the follow-up quest “This Must Be the Place”.

You can complete the quest immediately by clicking the bag under the bag. As a reward, you finally get the sleeping bag!

As a bonus, you even receive 8 units of “Trail mix”. When you consume this item, you will receive 4 bars of the “Rested” state – with this, you gain double experience from killing monsters.

Turtle WoW makes it official: The date for the server shutdown is now set

Amazon’s MMORPG has only 1 percent of its players left, responds to the case with … a new subscription

Blizzard wins lawsuit against Turtle WoW, forcing the largest private server for Classic Plus to settlement

Although the Season of Discoveries is new, many players make ancient jokes.

This is what the community says: The players are quite excited about this item (via reddit). Because even if the XP buff is quite small and 3% is just a drop in the bucket, the sleeping bag provides a sense of unity and ensures that everyone can take a little break – because this is something that is easily forgotten in World of Warcraft:

“Not only does the questline give you more than a level’s worth of Rested XP and about half a level-up, but it also gives you a reason to just step away from the PC or talk to people every 2 hours while waiting for the XP bonus to kick in.” – LiteratureFabulous36
“Honestly, the fact that it encourages and rewards you for just taking a little break probably makes this item the best thing I’ve seen in a long time.” – Detharious
“You can even log out anywhere while lying in it; it counts as a rest zone.” – Any-Yellow-5424
“Setting down the sleeping bag at the start of a dungeon is a great way to give yourself and everyone else in the group a 3-minute break to grab a drink or step away briefly before storming through the dungeon.” – PoignantPoint22

Have you already gotten the sleeping bag, and do you use it regularly? Or do you think it’s not worth the effort?

Helldivers 2: New co-op shooter on Steam has 150,000 players, struggles with issues, delights with humor

Niko Hernes 12. February 2024 Reading time 2 minutes

Helldivers 2 is a new cooperative shooter on Steam, which was released last week. The game is celebrating great success, but this seems unexpected for the team, as the game has also faced some release issues. However, the developers are taking care of it.

Helldivers 2 is a great success at release. The game officially launched on February 8 and has reached an all-time peak of 155,926 players, according to SteamDB. During peak times, the game consistently maintains around 100,000 players simultaneously.

However, this success seems a bit sudden for the Arrowhead development team as the game has been struggling with some issues since release. A patch was released on the day of the release. But there are still other problems that the team is currently working on.

Gameplay of Helldivers 2 can be seen in this video:

We are doing our best to get it right

The head of Arrowhead, Johan Pilestedt, posted on x.com today, February 12, 2024, a new statement regarding the current issues. In the statement, he mentions that during server maintenance, they were able to implement 3 fixes that addressed rewards, login issues, and server capacity.

However, login problems can still occur because the capacities for the current login requests are not enough. If you have trouble logging in, you should try restarting the game and logging in again. With the initial fixes, this method should work faster.

The high player traffic also causes issues with rewards. These are not always activated correctly because the server cannot track them. Although a fix has been implemented for this, the problem cannot be resolved without a new server maintenance.

At the end of the statement, Pilestedt apologizes again to the players and assures that the team is doing everything to address the problems. To get this right, the team also needs to get some sleep, which is why they ask everyone to wait a few hours.

ARK: Survival Ascended pulls back new update and deletes progress

Christos Tsogos 12. February 2024 Reading time < 1 minutes

In Ark: Survival Ascended, a new update has been released, but it caused a serious bug. Developers had to retract the update and perform a rollback.

What went wrong? A few days ago, a new update was uploaded on the servers of Ark: Survival Ascended. With this update, players could now use cosmetic items in the form of mods in their game saves. The developers promoted skins like Mickey and Minnie Mouse from Disney in a new trailer.

However, the update had an unwanted side effect, as players lost items from their inventories for no reason. The developers were alerted and had to revert the update.

Rollback and Compensation

What do the developers say about the dilemma? The developers spoke about the incident on x.com (formerly Twitter) about the incident. They felt compelled to reset the official network to the previous state, specifically to the point where the update had not yet been released.

Players affected by this bug should now have their lost items back. However, if you were not affected and earned new items during that time, you will lose them due to the rollback.

To compensate players, the developers are tripling the Evolution Event Rates. Meanwhile, the team is investigating the cause of the bug.

Overwatch 2: Starting tomorrow you will play a different shooter – „The game is being revived“

Cortyn 12. February 2024 Reading time 4 minutes

For Overwatch 2, a lot is changing with the start of the new season. Blizzard’s shooter will feel different – as all heroes will be changed.

Since the developers of Overwatch 2 announced that the PvE mode will never be properly released, the community has been angry. Some have not forgiven Blizzard for reducing the team size from 6 to 5, while others feel cheated for various reasons. However, Blizzard is doing its best to revamp the shooter and further refine the PvP aspect. This Tuesday, on February 13, 2024, there will be plenty of changes.

The adjustments are so extensive that some in the community are talking about an “Overwatch 3”.

The most important things in brief:

All heroes receive more health points.
All heroes heal passively when they take no damage.
The projectiles of nearly all weapons will be significantly larger.
The matchmaking and ranking of all players will be reset.

Start video

Overwatch 2: Season 9 fundamentally changes the game

Autoplay

All heroes in Overwatch 2 will become stronger

Blizzard wants to reduce the impact of burst damage, meaning high damage in an extremely short time. This is especially aimed at reducing the “one-hit potential,” so that enemies won’t be killed with a single combo in a fraction of a second. For this reason, all heroes will across the board receive more health points.

This means for the individual characters:

Heroes with 150-175 HP: +25 HP
Heroes with 200-300 HP: +50 HP
Heroes with 300+ HP (Tanks): +75-100 HP

Ultimately, these changes mean that almost all characters will need at least one additional hit to be eliminated. This leaves more time for healers to intervene or to make use of the new self-healing mechanics.

Everyone will be a healer – at least for themselves

The major controversial change, however, is that all characters will receive self-healing. Once a character has not taken damage for 5 seconds, they will start to heal with 20 HP per second until their health points are fully restored. Damage taken stops this healing immediately.

Support characters have an improved version of this healing, as their self-healing begins after just 2.5 seconds without taking damage.

But that’s not all. In addition, damage characters will receive a new passive trait. When a damage dealer hits an enemy, that enemy receives a new debuff, causing them to receive 20% less healing. This allows DPS characters to focus better on enemies and weaken the healing of the opposing team.

All weapons will hit more often – as the bullets will be larger

It is also new that almost all projectiles in Overwatch 2 will become larger. An increased hitbox for the projectiles means that bullets will hit their target more often and less precision will be required, making it slightly easier to deal damage. How much various projectiles will increase depends on the type of weapon and projectile.

The changes to projectile sizes are as follows:

Hitscan projectiles from weapons with very high fire rates or wide spreads (like Reaper or Tracer): +0.05 meters
Hitscan projectiles from precision weapons (like Cassidy or Soldier: 76): +0.08 meters
Projectiles with flight time and a fast fire rate (like Roadhog or Ramattra): +0.05 meters
Projectiles with flight time that travel faster than 50 meters per second (like Zenyatta): +0.10 meters
Projectiles with flight time that travel slower than 50 meters per second (like Pharah or Junkrat): +0.15 meters
No change for particularly large projectiles (like Orisa’s spear or Reinhardt’s fire strike).

Fresh start for everyone – matchmaking will be “reset”

The last major change is that the personal ranking of all players will be completely reset. No matter what rank you had before – with the start of Season 9, everyone starts from scratch and must prove their skills in placement matches.

This is the perfect opportunity to finally break out of the “Elo hell” and not remain stuck in the bronze ranks – or to cement a place there forever.

Additionally, there will now be more transparency. A progress bar will show you after each match how close or far you are from the next rank – and how much the win or loss affected it.

What else is changing?

Apart from these major adjustments, there are also a lot of individual balance changes to the heroes. Many DPS characters will deal more damage in the future to somewhat compensate for the increased health points of the heroes.

In general, these changes aim to make healing have a little less influence on the fight. Support heroes should find it more difficult to keep the entire group alive.

von Cortyn

Moreover, the start of a new season also means that there is a fresh battle pass – this time, apparently, cosmic secrets and corruption from dark tentacled aliens are on the agenda. C’thulhu fans should get their money’s worth, and especially the mythical Moira skin looks really nice.

In addition, there has already been a teaser for a collaboration with the anime “Cowboy Bebop” – but there are no further details yet.

What do you think of these changes to Overwatch 2? Is that enough to give the game a fresh coat of paint? Or is it a futile effort?

Recently, Reaper was changed – he was able to say some really nasty things and thus needed a “voice-line nerf”.

Palworld: Playing without catching Pals? A player tried it out

Sophia Weiss 12. February 2024 Reading time 3 minutes

The majority of the gameplay elements of Palworld are based on catching Pals and making them work for you in your base. A player has not yet caught a Pal and has still defeated the first boss. And this huge handicap has been imposed on himself for a very special reason.

What kind of run is the player doing? reddit user gonnaputmydickinit is being celebrated on reddit for reaching level 15 in Palworld and defeating the first boss without catching a single Pal. Completing such a “only-human” run is quite challenging, as catching and using Pals are core mechanics of the game.

How does the player support his claim? The gamer posted a screenshot of his Steam achievements on reddit. It shows that he has achieved the achievement Hillside Sovereign, translated as Conqueror of the Highlands.

Directly below, but grayed out, is the normally first achievement: Beginning of the Legend, meaning Beginning of a Legend. The player has defeated the first boss combination of Zoe and Grizzbolt without catching a single Pal.

Palworld, without catching a single Pal – can it work?

How does the gamer manage that? In the comments, the redditor explains his approach:

He caught a green trader to buy makeshift guns from him.
He farms treasure chests in difficult areas of the world for gold to buy bullets.
He primarily grinds berries and cooks them to feed his character.

Meanwhile, the player is at level 15 and, according to his own statements, completes level 13 dungeons almost without problems.

Are there difficulties for a only-human run? gonnaputmydickinit also addresses this. According to his own statements, he does not have access to many resources.

For example, he cannot obtain iron bars, as this requires a fire Pal. Consequently, he cannot craft many equipment parts and cannot progress beyond a primitive workbench. Weapons also cannot be repaired, and he has to purchase them anew every time.

A super nerfed run – because he is waiting for his wife

Why is the player going through with this? In a comment in the thread, the reddit user explains why he chose such a difficult run in Palworld. He shares that his wife also wants to play Palworld, but only later. She is still waiting for a few patches.

You can find our news on the current patch notes here: New update 0.1.4.1 finally fixes the catching bug and more

However, he himself probably wanted to start right away and opted for an absolutely nerfed run in which he does not experience many of the core mechanics. This way, he can already get started without having too much of an advantage over his wife when they eventually play together.
