The Bustling World aims to be a new city-building simulator on Steam. The world is set in ancient China. But the game doesn’t just want to be city-building. The Bustling World is much more ambitious and wants to offer many elements from other genres. The trailer showcases the game’s goals.
The Bustling World sounds ambitious, perhaps too ambitious. At first glance, it resembles Civilization. But the game wants to be so much more. It is also described as an open world RPG with farming, crafting, building, and combat. Politics and diplomacy are also supposed to be a theme.
The game takes place in ancient China and presents itself with a nice 3D look mixed with a hand-drawn style. Many players are already excited about the game. As the developers announced on Steam, the game was added to the wish list by 150,000 players within 20 days.
In the trailer, you can get a first impression of the ambitious ideas:

I’m looking forward to it, the game looks ambitious
To make the game world even more lively, a major focus is placed on AI. The inhabitants of your world are supposed to have their own stories, families, and personalities that are reflected in the game. How you interact with the NPCs is supposed to influence their behavior, your professions, and actions. This AI is meant to make each playthrough feel different.
Not only is there a focus on large city-building, but also on smaller aspects. You can design your own house and indulge in ancient Chinese architecture. To earn money, you can take on various jobs, whether as a shop owner or farmer. From there, you build your wealth and power and become increasingly important to the world.
The Bustling World will offer some small activities alongside the major mechanics. Things like card games or combat and cooking tournaments are featured on the game’s Kickstarter page. There will also be illegal activities. Casinos, banks, bandits, and gangs are mechanics in the game. Combat will also be important.
Under the YouTube trailer, users are excited and looking forward to the game:
@mailman5043: I’m looking forward to it, the game looks ambitious
@philnguyen4366: Time to satisfy my urge to become the ruler of ancient China
@cmy4418: I love the look of the game and can’t wait to be a wandering rogue like in Water Margin. I hope there will be a more complex combat system
With arguably the most extraordinary character editor, Chimeraland once drew many players into the game on Steam, but now the servers are shutting down.
What kind of game was Chimeraland? Chimeraland aimed to be a Free2Play MMORPG where you play as a crazy beast creature as your character. The character editor allowed for a lot of freedom, resulting in the creation of very beautiful as well as very ugly creatures.
Besides the character editor, the game sounded like a standard MMORPG, with classic features such as a main quest that tells the story, an open game world without loading screens, and a classless system where armor and weapons define the play style.
Here you can watch the trailer that was released for pre-registration.

The servers are shutting down for no reason, although there were many
Why are the servers shutting down? Officially, there is no explanation for the server shutdown. A look at Steam reveals, however, that the game was not well received. Few updates, outdated graphics, and an unfinished game annoyed most players in the Steam reviews.
How many players were playing the MMORPG recently? According to SteamDB, only about 100 people were simultaneously on the servers. While there is also a standalone client as well as mobile versions on iOS and Android, the trend of having few players is likely evident there as well. Since the game launched in 2021, player numbers have only declined.
Was there any message to the players? The social media platforms of the MMORPG have been deserted for months. There was no message to the players. The official site has now announced that the game will be shut down on March 31. As of now, no new accounts can be created for the game.
The latest transmog rewards in World of Warcraft are wild. Because from now on, you can be a “Magical Girl” – and it looks truly adorable.
The trading post has now been around for a year – and it seems Blizzard wants to celebrate this a bit. Because in February 2024, you can not only snag a ton of rather wacky transmog items, but also earn 500 extra trader currencies.
Oh – and by the way, there’s also a set that lets you easily pass as “Sailor Moon”.
What is available this month in the trading post? February is all about love – after all, Valentine’s Day is coming soon, along with the “Love is in the Air” event. The trading post seems to take this motto particularly seriously – because almost all rewards are either bright pink or feature a heart motif in some form, and even the battle pets are incredibly cute.
The highlight is definitely the transmog set “Robe of the Love Witch.” You get it by fully completing the travel journal in February – so completing enough of the tasks in the travel journal. Then you can simply loot the set from the chest found at the trading post in Orgrimmar or Stormwind.
With the Love Witch, your “Sailor Moon” wishes come true.
The Robe of the Love Witch may not quite fit into World of Warcraft at first glance – the look resembles classic “Magical Girl” designs from the anime realm, like in Sailor Moon. This means lots of frills, short skirts with long stockings, and bright colors. Exactly what the Robe of the Love Witch offers.
Other colors of the set are already known from data mining, but it is still unclear how to obtain them.
What else is there? Aside from a hefty load of love, there are also other rewards that you shouldn’t miss. For instance, there is a toy for just 10 trader currencies, which allows you to transform your character into a wooden mannequin.
Mount collectors can secure the X-53 travel rocket – also for an unbeatable price of 100 trader currencies. This mount can carry a passenger and was previously available through the “Refer a Friend” system.
The rocket was previously only available through “Refer a Friend” – many years ago.
Because Blizzard apparently knows that this month is extremely attractive and offers many great rewards, there are a total of 500 additional trader currencies to earn in February 2024. This means you can accumulate 1,500 trader currencies (500 from your subscription, 1,000 that you can earn).
The perfect time to go on a shopping spree – or save the currencies for the future.
How long can you earn the rewards? As usual, the trading post’s offer is active for the entire month – until February 29th. After that, the offer changes, and new items become available. However, if your trader currencies are not enough for a specific item, you can “freeze” it and carry it over to the next month.
What do you think of the trading post rewards, and will you now also be wandering through Azeroth as a “Magical Girl”?
A player has shown a video of how he connected a Radeon RX 6700 XT to a Steam Deck. This works very well, but the Steam Deck is no longer truly portable.
What did the player do? The YouTuber “DiY Papi” upgraded a standard Steam Deck with an RX 6700 XT.
The YouTuber connected the graphics card via the m.2 socket of the Steam Deck. However, he had to remove the M.2 SSD for this. He powers the graphics card with an external power supply of 700 watts, which he mounted under a monitor.
Does the procedure have drawbacks? Yes, the bandwidth of the graphics card is limited to the m.2 connection in the Steam Deck. While this is not as relevant for an RX 6700 XT, it would quickly limit the performance for a much faster GPU, such as an RTX 4090.
Moreover, the Steam Deck is no longer as portable with this setup, and the M.2 SSD also had to be sacrificed. By the way, you can watch the entire video on YouTube:

The downside: The “ROG XG Mobile” models are all very expensive, and only a few ASUS devices, like the gaming convertibles of the Flow series, support the connection.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Are there alternatives? Theoretically, you don’t necessarily need ASUS’s exclusive connection: If you have a Thunderbolt port, you can theoretically connect an external graphics card enclosure with Thunderbolt support to it. You can also insert and use a graphics card here. However, this is likely to be just as impractical for portable use as the YouTuber’s approach.
In this way, you can “upgrade” a convertible or a laptop with a faster graphics card.
Alternatives to the Steam Deck: If you are looking for an alternative to the Steam Deck, take a look at the following list. Here, we present the best options if you want a different handheld instead of a Steam Deck. And some also support Windows as an operating system.
The Godslayer Crown belongs to the Uniques that can be worn by any class in Diablo 4. How you can best farm it and what makes it so powerful can be found on MeinMMO.
You can also get the Godslayer Crown from Uber-Duriel – a strong Unique that can be equipped by all classes and can be very useful for many builds.
In the fight against Duriel, a resistance to poison is especially useful. If you often forget your potions, we have a trick for you:
Start video
Diablo 4: Do you forget to use your elixirs? This trick helps you.
Targeted Farming at Uber-Duriel
How can I farm the Godslayer Crown? With a lot of luck, you can get the Unique from world bosses, legion events, or during the Hell Flood. However, to be able to farm the Unique in a targeted way, you essentially need to run multiple bosses to collect materials with which you can summon Uber-Duriel at World Tier 4 in Diablo 4.
You need the following materials per run at Duriel:
2x Slimey Egg from the boss “Varshan” in the dungeon “Malicious Den” at World Tier 4
For Grigoire, you need “Living Steel,” which you can find in chests during the Hell Flood. For Varshan, you need 4 body parts at World Tier 4 (1 each of Gurgling Head, Blackened Femur, Shaking Hand, Malicious Heart).
A Strong Choice for Builds with Crowd Control Effects
What makes the Godslayer Crown so strong? Especially for builds that work with crowd control effects, the headgear is very suitable, as the duration of control loss effects is increased.
Additionally, nearby enemies are drawn in when your CC effects apply to elite enemies or when you deal damage to bosses. On the drawn-in enemies, you then also deal increased damage for 3 seconds (multiplicative).
Here you can see the Godslayer Crown, which we received as a Necro at level 87 from Duriel.
In short: The Godslayer Crown increases your damage, the crowd control duration, your maximum health, and reduces the cooldowns of your abilities.
For example, the Pulverize Druid benefits from the high damage potential, but so do the Ball Lightning Sorceress and other sorcerer builds, which rely heavily on freezing as a crowd control effect.
If you are still looking for a suitable build for the endgame, you can find the two mentioned, as well as other strong builds, in our Tier List for Season 3 of Diablo 4. There, you will also find a description of what the build is capable of and what makes it so good.

With the Arctis Nova 7 Wireless, SteelSeries offers a gaming headset for PC, PlayStation, and the Switch. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann explains whether the headset is worth your while and why you should keep an eye on it.
With the “Nova” series, the Danish manufacturer SteelSeries has updated its popular Arctis models. There are mainly minor detail improvements. I have taken a look at the current SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless and will explain in the review whether the headset might be worth it for you.
I bought the device privately in November 2022 and mainly used it on the PS5 and repeatedly on the PC. Overall, I have used the headset for about 14 months on the PS5.
I have a penchant for hardware and tech and currently own over 20 gaming mice, as well as several keyboards and controllers. For MeinMMO, I have been testing hardware for our readers since 2019. In addition to the PC and major consoles, I also play on the Steam Deck.
Our device is a self-purchased unit that I bought from a retailer.

SteelSeries Arctis 7 vs 7P vs 7X
Are there differences? SteelSeries offers three different models of the Nova 7. The technology used is identical, but compatibility varies. You can also recognize the various models by the color of the headset:

In my test, the standard 7 model was used without additions. However, all three models have the same speakers, and the ergonomics are also identical.
Design and Construction
What is included in the package? The gaming headset comes with a variety of accessories: In addition to the headset, there is a USB-C transmitter, a USB-C to USB-A charging cable, a USB-C to USB-A extension cable, and a manual. Additional ear cushions or similar are not included.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless package contents.
Construction of the headset: The headset comes in plain black, the 7P comes in blue, and the 7X in green. The ear cushions completely encompass the ears and are made of fabric. SteelSeries opts out of genuine leather cushion appearance and memory foam. The microphone cannot be detached but can be stored in the headset’s housing.
Through the controls, the volume can be adjusted, you can turn the headset on and off, and additionally activate Bluetooth for the wireless connection or put the headset into pairing mode. Through the jack connection on one earcup, you can also use the Arctis Nova 7 Wireless with a cable.

Processing
The gaming headset relies on a plastic body, and hinges and other moving parts also use plastic. After almost a year, I can’t complain about the processing; so far, everything works perfectly.
The headband is reinforced with a metal plate, and the fabric strap (the headband) can be adjusted for a better fit. The ear cushions are made of fabric and can theoretically be removed and washed. I haven’t tried that during my testing period yet.
Software
The headset can be controlled on the PC with the “SteelSeries GG” software. This can only be installed on PC; it’s not possible on the PS5. The software is still quite cluttered; upon startup, you are bombarded with advertisements for in-house products, their own blog, and bonuses for games.
In-house advertising, various menus without practical use: The software of the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 is far too overloaded.
Some features, such as the sound feature “Sonar,” are locked behind an account. If you want to use that, you need to create an account and log in. Once you click through all the stuff, you will find your installed devices under the “Engine” menu item.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Headset: All settings in a clear window.
Here you can set numerous details in a clear interface: Equalizer, microphone volume, and microphone monitoring. This is where the “SteelSeries GG” software comes into play. But I also wonder why one needs all that extra baggage. Razer’s controversial “Synapse” software is almost harmless in comparison.
Comfort, Weight, and Battery Life
What does my head look like? My head circumference is about 58 cm, so I have a rather small head.
Comfort: When it comes to comfort, the headset from SteelSeries, in my opinion, shows its great strength: The ear cups are not only height-adjustable but also rotatable. Additionally, the gaming headset comes with an elastic headband that can also be removed. The official “Pulse 3D” from Sony is, however, ergonomically a disaster.
With many options, the headset fits excellently on my head and provides me with a pleasant wearing comfort even after several hours. My partner and a colleague have also worn the headset or the nearly identical predecessor and find it very comfortable as well.
The ear cushions are made of fabric, which I find much more pleasant than memory foam. Fabric cushions are much more comfortable to wear in summer because you don’t sweat as much as you do under artificial leather.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless front view.
Weight: At 325 grams, the Arctis Nova 7 Wireless is not necessarily lightweight, but overall comfortable to wear. For comparison: The Razer Kaira Pro for the PS5 weighs almost the same at 330 grams.
Battery life: The manufacturer states the battery life as 38 hours for wireless connection and 26 hours for dual wireless connection.
Sound
The headset offers powerful, slightly emphasized bass, which is especially practical in gaming. For example, sounds like footsteps can be clearly perceived. The mids are also clear and present in sound,
The weak point of the headset lies in the high range. Particularly high instruments and female voices sound little detailed and almost a bit thin. However, the equalizer can still bring out a lot from the sound.
Also positive: The headset blocks well, so external people do not have to hear my sound. Here, open headsets are at a disadvantage.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless side view
Microphone
The microphone has the typical strengths and weaknesses that come with a wireless headset: I am clear and easily understandable, but my voice sounds artificial and strained. However, this is also due to the wireless connection: something has to be saved in the transmission of my voice over the wireless connection.
In other words: For communication in multiplayer, the headset is very suitable; for extensive audio recordings, such as podcasts, you should get a better headset or a good tabletop microphone. My recommendation is, for example, the JBL Quantum Stream for around 100 euros, which is a real value-for-money tip for me.

Conclusion: Excellent headset with minor weaknesses
Who is the headset suitable for? With the Arctis Nova 7 Wireless from SteelSeries, you get an excellent headset for PC, the Switch, and the PS5. At a street price of around 160 euros, you can’t go wrong: The headset offers high wearing comfort, good battery life, and the dual wireless connection is also practical. The sound is almost always really good, only the highs could use more detail.
The Kaira Pro from Razer offers similarly good features but has a shorter battery life, and especially weaker ergonomics (no headband and limited adjustable ear cups). The Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless can also be used on the PS5, but does not offer dual wireless, which I personally missed.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
What alternatives are there?
The Kaira Pro from Razer is a very good alternative. The device also relies on fabric cushions, but the ergonomics are not as good as the SteelSeries model.
The Logitech G PRO X 2 LIGHTSPEED Wireless is also an excellent option that can also be used on the PS5. Good battery life and comfortable wearing comfort, but no dual wireless.
A compromise, if you really don’t want to spend more than 100 euros, would be the official “Pulse 3D Audio” headset for the PS5 from Sony. However, I found the wearing comfort personally below average, while the sound was good.
Further gaming headsets in all price categories from 50 to 300 euros can be found in the buying guide on MeinMMO:
Barbarians are currently absolute high-flyers in the endgame of Diablo 4 in Season 3 with almost all builds. 3 are particularly strong. We list them for you and explain what makes them so good.
What are these builds? The Barbarian has the most S-Tier builds of all classes in Season 3. Especially the Skill “Rip apart” seems to be on the rise this season, which could still change. The 3 top builds in this list are all either particularly easy to play, require little special gear, or are simply innovations that provide variety:
The HotA Barbarian, short for Hammer of the Ancients, relies entirely on the aptly named skill. Through buffs and shouts, you make the blow so powerful that you simply wipe out all enemies around you. The ultimate Bonk feeling, that can deal billions in damage.
The Upheaval Barbarian slams his hammer into the ground and pulls it back out. With his talent, debris is catapulted forward, hitting your enemies and dealing damage. A perfect build to annihilate your enemies with heavy AoE damage.
The relatively new build in the tier list utilizes the unique class mechanic of the Barbarian to wield various weapons simultaneously. You constantly switch your weapons, resulting in dynamic gameplay unlike any other build. Thanks to the skill Iron Maelstrom, this build has also earned the nickname: “Kratos Barbarian.” The Walking Arsenal is an all-rounder, suitable for leveling and farming alike.
Since Season 3 is still quite fresh, balancing can shift quickly. In Season 2, the absolutely best build was only discovered at the very end. So stay tuned, as we update our builds and guides for the respective classes and keep them current for you.
After the rocky start of Season 3, the developers quickly followed up with patches for Diablo 4. Now Patch 1.3.1 is already in the works and is set to be released this Thursday, February 1. You can find the full patch notes here.
The highlights in brief:
The Scoundrel is getting more buffs. Many of his skills are being significantly buffed, even though he can already take down the strongest bosses solo.
Some of the most annoying monster affixes like Vampiric are getting nerfed.
Over 50 bugs will be fixed, including errors that prevented the season campaign from being completed properly.
Patch 1.3.1 will be released on February 1.
What changes with the patch? The game will overall become easier. The buff to the Scoundrel will enhance most of the damage abilities of the pet. The damage of Stacking, Impaling, Circling, and Ambushing will be increased by a whopping 30%, while other abilities will see a boost of 10-20%.
The monster affix Vampiric now heals roughly half as much at all world levels
The Suppressor field no longer lasts permanently but for only 6 seconds
Nightmare dungeon seals now indicate the monster level
In addition to the highlights mentioned above, there are numerous bug fixes. This includes some fixes for accessibility and seasonal campaign quests. A significant portion of the key changes was already implemented in Patch 1.3.0a.
We even managed to talk with the developers about what will happen after Season 3 and in the future of Diablo 4:

Patch 1.3.1 – Complete Patch Notes and New Event
Alongside the patch, the new event Lunar Awakening has been announced. In this event, you will receive up to 50% more experience and 30% more movement speed through limited-time buffs. In addition, there are cosmetic rewards and buffs in Nightmare dungeons for increased glyph XP.
Buffs are provided through shrines. Existing shrines will be slightly adjusted for the event. For example, the Artillery Shrine will now grant the ability to fire holy bombs while casting abilities.
Blizzard has already addressed some of the biggest points of criticism with Patch 1.3.0a. These include:
Vaults that now provide more loot
The Scoundrel, who is now significantly more useful and easier to level
The changes have already had an effect. Although Season 3 was heavily criticized at release, opinions have shifted positively by the weekend. Now there is praise for the changes, especially for the vaults that some players now demand to be the new standard:
Fletcher himself addresses detailed feedback from various users. There were critiques about pet builds in general and the new season pet in particular, but also praise for the ongoing hell floods and more storage space.

The rarest mounts soon in the trading post of World of Warcraft – that was the concern. But Blizzard clarifies that this will not happen. For now.
A few days ago, a murmur went through the mount fans of World of Warcraft. For their favorite treasures had drastically lost value. But Blizzard quickly responded and clarified: No, everything is fine.
Usually, this is a sign that an item will eventually come to the trading post.
In the case of the “Warlords of Draenor” mount, the value was set at 7,899 trader currencies, which was so absurdly high that some assumed it was a mistake – and that was apparently the case.
What does Blizzard say? In response to the rumors that “Ahead of its Time” rewards could soon land in the trading post, Blizzard spoke out in the official forum. Community Manager Kaivax stated:
We would like to dispel a certain rumor. At this time, we do not plan for mounts or other prestige rewards from performance-based achievements, such as the “Top of the Line” or “Ahead of its Time”, to be available in the trading post.
What do you think about this matter? Do you think it’s good that your prestige mounts remain protected? Or are you part of the newer generation that would like to get access to these mounts?
What does the community think? In the WoW community, opinions on this matter are divided. Some believe that such prestige rewards from the past should remain exclusive – and that forever. Those who were not there should not be able to obtain them retroactively.
Others argue that this can lead to frustration when there are rewards in games that one can never obtain. Phenomenon from the Community Council writes about this:
I hope that one day we will see the return of these FOMO items. For all players. Nothing is more frustrating than seeing something fantastic in the game and finding out how to obtain it, only to realize at the end: “Oh… that’s something that existed 12 years ago and is now forever hidden behind the door of exclusivity.”
What do you think about this matter? Do you think it’s good that your prestige mounts remain protected? Or are you part of the newer generation that would like to get access to these mounts?
You can now sell your skins in the tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege, just like has been possible in Counter-Strike for years.
What feature is being discussed? Ubisoft’s tactical shooter Rainbow Six: Siege launched the Beta for the “Rainbow Six: Siege” marketplace on January 30, 2024. From now on, you can trade cosmetic content there.
On the marketplace, it is possible to sell weapon designs, uniforms, headgear, or charms, for example. This also applies to attachment designs, operator portraits, map backgrounds, and drone designs.
Rainbow Six: Siege follows the example of Valve’s mega-hit Counter-Strike with the introduction of the marketplace. There, trading skins has been a daily routine of the shooter for years.
Start video
Rainbow Six: Siege Launch Trailer
How does the marketplace work? You can access the “Rainbow Six: Siege” marketplace via the official website Ubisoft.com. There, you can select the “Sell” section and specify the items you want to sell. However, it is not possible to trade with all skins, but only with those that are shown to you in the marketplace.
If you want to sell a specific skin, you set the sale price yourself and then wait for interested buyers. You can have 5 different buy orders and 5 different sell orders at the same time.
In the marketplace, R6 Credits are used as payment, Ubisoft’s in-game currency for the shooter, which you must purchase with real money. However, Ubisoft takes a 10% transaction fee from each trade.
Shortly after the launch of the marketplace beta, some players have already spotted money and offered particularly sought-after skins for sale. Particularly high credit amounts are currently being demanded for charms and weapon skins, which can only be obtained by attending the Six Invitational, the world championship of the shooter.
The weapon skin “Six Invitational VIP ’19” has already been sold 3 times for 100,000 R6 Credits. That’s about 833 euros, assuming the standard price of the cheapest package of 600 R6 Credits for 4.99 €.
Another particularly sought-after skin is “Glacier.” It was one of the first eSports skins of the game. It came into the shooter in 2016 and was only available for a limited time. Until recently, there was no way to obtain the skin – even though it is very popular among many players. Therefore, it was to be expected that it would be traded on the marketplace.
Ubisoft will definitely be pleased if they earn 10% from the trade of a skin that had to be purchased with real money back in 2016.
The survival action RPG Enshrouded is currently a surprising success on Steam. The game comes from the developer studio Keen Games based in Frankfurt. As it has now been revealed, a controversial Easter egg is hidden in the game: The former home of influencer Rainer “Drachenlord” Winkler, the “Drachenlaire,” is meticulously recreated in the game. Some find that funny; others dismiss it as bullying.
What kind of game is it?
The survival game Enshrouded was released on January 24, 2024, in early access for PC. Versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are set to follow. The studio “Keen Games” is known for games like Portal Knights and Sacred 3.
On Steam, the game peaked at an impressive 160,405 simultaneous players. With 85% positive reviews, it is also well-rated.

This has now been noticed by some users: In one part of the game world of Enshrouded, the former house of influencer Rainer Winkler is clearly and meticulously recreated.
This was also not built there by a player; rather, it is an integral part of the world of Enshrouded, created by the developers themselves.
Why is this problematic? The influencer Rainer Winkler is considered a prime example of a form of online controversy that has now lost all sense and measure and has turned into a case of bullying and a witch hunt.
A group of people on the internet, dubbed “Drachenhaider,” find it amusing or cultish to observe the influencer, visit him, and comment on his actions ironically, sarcastically, or offensively.
The “Drachen Game” involved going to Winkler’s then house (“the Drachenlaire”), whose address had long been known, harassing him, and finding amusement when Winkler would lose his temper and scream.
In doing so, the “haters” feel morally justified because Winkler is said to be a bad person who has committed many wrongdoings. They mock some of his statements, his speech impediments, or his dialect extensively.
Journalists specializing in the internet, such as Sascha Lobo (via Spiegel), have dealt intensively with Rainer Winkler. Lobo wrote in 2021 that Winkler has been tormented, threatened, and harassed by a mob for years.
When Winkler defended himself and became violent, a court found him guilty. Lobo described the treatment of him as a catastrophic failure of the judiciary, media, and society.
An employee of MeinMMO, together with a friend, took these screenshots of the house in Enshrouded and its location on an in-game map for us:
What is the reaction to the house in Enshrouded? The “hater” community finds the house in Enshrouded incredibly funny and shares videos where they comment on the depiction of the house, describe individual rooms, and speculate on what sound effects might be overlaying the images. They detail what words Winkler might use to rudely kick someone off the property in this or that room.
They take pleasure in the fact that even in the Frankfurt studio Keen Games, there are obvious “haters.”
However, there are also isolated voices that view this critically. In a negative review of “Enshrouded” on Steam, it is stated that this Easter egg would fuel the unbearable bullying against Drachenlord. While Winkler must also be held accountable for some of his actions, that should happen through the rule of law, not by a mob of bullies. “No one deserves to be bullied. Absolutely no one.”
The review was found helpful by 17 people and funny by 55 people, highlighting the issue of the entire complicated situation.
MeinMMO has asked the developers of Enshrouded for a statement. We will provide it as soon as we receive it.
Developers will remove the house of the Drachenlord
Update 1.2.2024, 8:30 AM: We have received the following statement from the developers:
We have been made aware that there is a building in the game that resembles a real building connected to real events. It was not intended to have this building in the game. We are currently working on removing this building from the game. Our team will require a few hours until the update is available for everyone. We will take appropriate measures to ensure that this does not happen again. We apologize for this incident and expressly distance ourselves from it.
Update 1.2.2024: In an earlier version of the article, we linked the Steam review we quote in the article and shared a screenshot. The author of the Steam review has asked us to remove both. He claims to have been doxxed and received threatening emails. He asked us to remove screenshots and the link from the article. He has deleted his Steam review.

Team SoloMid, once one of the most famous “League of Legends” teams in the world, has experienced a dramatic decline. From an estimated value of over 500 million dollars in 2022, the organization has now shrunk to only eight employees, raising questions about its future and the reasons for its downfall.
This is TSM: Team SoloMid (short: TSM) was once one of the most renowned professional “League of Legends” teams worldwide and has a remarkable history.
This history ranges from participating in the first seven World Championships of the game to being rated as the most valuable esports organization in the world in 2022 by Forbes. However, today the organization is facing a drastic decline and consists of only eight employees.

Employees dismissed without notice on their fifth anniversary
What was the recent development at TSM? Recently, there was an unexpected dismissal at TSM when long-time employee Dunc had to leave the esports organization exactly on his fifth anniversary as an employee.
Dunc then expressed on X his disbelief that he would not receive any compensation from TSM, given that he had worked for the company as a freelancer for the past five years.
Here you see Dunc’s post on X.com:

There have also been increasing layoffs at TSM in the past, and the organization was even investigated and penalized by Riot Games in 2022 for poor treatment of its employees.
Last year, TSM also closed almost all of its esports departments, including Valorant and League of Legends, and additionally sold its slot in the LCS. Nonetheless, TSM continues to participate in some games like Rocket League and Apex Legends, albeit with a smaller audience.
How did it all go downhill for TSM? The current situation of TSM is a result of a 210 million dollar deal with the FTX exchange that TSM entered into in 2021, but was not executed due to the arrest and conviction of the website’s founder. This led to significant financial problems for the organization.
In 2022, there was also a scandal involving LoL coach Peter Zhang, who allegedly redirected about $250,000 in salary payments from two former TSM players to himself and others, and subsequently had to leave TSM.
Furthermore, the poor sporting performance of the organization between 2018 and 2022, during which they could only qualify for the World Championship once, as well as the general crisis of Western esports last year, contributed to the difficulties.
What’s next for TSM? The future of Team SoloMid remains uncertain as the brand has significantly lost value due to a series of unpredictable decisions.
Although the founders’ goal in the past was to make the LCS a stronger league again, it currently even seems unlikely that they can secure a spot in major competitions in games like Rocket League. In LoL, they have already sold their spot and are no longer competing in Valorant championships.
Last week, Riot announced it would be laying off 530 employees. As a result, smaller projects will be discontinued. This includes Riot Forge. For MeinMMO author Nikolas Hernes, this is a significant loss, as the smaller games have shown the potential that lies within the world of League of Legends.
Riot Forge was a label led by Riot Games that published games from indie developers who were allowed to play around with the LoL license. In total, it brought out 5 different titles, each catering to a different genre. All with the subtitle A League of Legends Story.
The scenarios and the champions depicted also differed from one another. With Ruined King, there was a JRPG-inspired role-playing game. Song of Nunu gave us a narrative 3D adventure, while Convergence and Mageseeker explored the typical indie genres of Metroidvania and Action-RPG.

A Lore That Simply Isn’t Utilized
The League of Legends lore is vast. There are different realms, factions, and within the locations, there are smaller stories as well. But all of this is told relatively dryly.
While champion descriptions and interactions in League of Legends are quite cool, the stories are not told fresh and excitingly. Reading a simple text is just not as thrilling as discovering a story for yourself.
The games from Riot Forge offered much more. In Ruined King, I could explore the pirate city of Bilgewater with its inhabitants. Through dialogues and small side quests, I could form a picture of the criminal place. The interactions between the various party members gave the champions I knew much more character and, above all, lore.
The card game from Riot Legends of Runeterra is also significantly affected by the layoffs. The game had the opportunity to add small characters to the lore through many new cards, without having to design comprehensive champions. You can see soldiers from the various factions or simply the little son of the champion Malphite.
In Ruined King, it was about the pirate city of Bilgewater and the story of the fallen King Viego
The Dream of Other Genres
Through Riot Forge, many ideas have grown for me and my friends that one can fill with the Riot universe. A classic strategy game with different factions. A character action game like Devil May Cry or Hi-Fi Rush. Or simply a shooter. These wishes are becoming distant due to the closure of the label.
When I look at how many different games are released in the Warhammer universe, I’m envious that Riot isn’t trying the same. Sure, not all the best games come out of it, but a certain willingness to experiment can also expand the player base and attract people who don’t usually play MOBAs.
Arcane has managed to reach many people and raise awareness of the LoL world among viewers. Characters like Jinx or Vi are simply much more present, and that is thanks to the series. A last glimmer of hope to explore the world of Runeterra better is the MMORPG. But this was not mentioned in the last statement, and the latest news has not been very positive:
The greater focus on the 4 core games could, of course, lead to significant improvements, but creativity and the potential of Runeterra suffer enormously due to the closure. We can only hope that Arcane Season 2 will satisfactorily expand the Runeterra world and that we will still get other projects in the LoL universe.

In Enshrouded there are a handful of ways to get from A to B. The bed is actually not one of them. But a player has now found a way to make it possible in the Steam game.
What did the player discover? The Reddit user RoboticUnicorn has caused a stir with a post on Reddit. The player found a new glitch where a bed allows you to fly through the world. This is actually not intended in the Steam game.
The best part is that the trick to fly is also quite simple and can be easily repeated. Now, everyone can reach all locations on the map without any problems.
Here you can watch the Early Access trailer for the new survival hit on Steam.

Enshrouded: The Early Access trailer for the new survival hit on Steam
Two buttons and a bed, and off you go
How does the trick work? The player initially suspected that the trick had to do with the grappling hook, as he had it equipped when he first triggered the glitch. However, after multiple tests, he discovered that all you need is a bed.
To fly through the air, you just need to jump over your bed and press the E key to lie down at the highest point of the jump. Your character should then assume the sleeping position and take off at the same time. If everything worked out, your character will now fly through the area at a constant speed.

To end the flight, you can simply take out your glider and glide to the ground. However, be mindful of your stamina, as when it runs out, you will fall like a stone.
Why should you fly with the bed? Flying with the bed is actually the fastest way to travel in Enshrouded. Players can otherwise move with a variety of means. Whether by glider or by grappling hook. Additionally, there are many fast travel points at ancient towers, in your base, and at all flame altars placed by you.
While Enshrouded does not offer any PvP at all like Palworld, there are still players who want to harm you. Thieves are now traveling on servers without password protection and emptying the chests. The inventory can simply be kept. In our article, we have told you more about it.

The survival game “The Day Before“ was once the most anticipated game on Steam and was seen as a “The Division with zombies”. The result was a game that disappointed more and more as its release approached. In the end, The Day Before did come to Steam after delays, but it was so disappointing that it closed after four days, dragging the studio down with it.
What kind of insider report is this? The magazine GameStar and the team from GameTwo teamed up, spoke with about 20 involved people at the developer and the publisher, and then shared their findings:
The team interrupted their work for the great trailers
Why did The Day Before look so good? What one wonders when observing “The Day Before”: Why did the game look so damn good in the first trailer?
Because only then could the hype arise in 2021, which gave The Day Before the height from which it ultimately crashed down.
GameStar states: The team placed a special focus on the trailers. They quote a developer:
“To produce the trailers, the work of all departments was interrupted. It was common to create a feature for a trailer and then forget about it for several months.”

Everything you need to know about the new MMO The Day Before – In 2 Minutes
The Day Before was much smaller, beefed up for trailers to be an MMO
Why was The Day Before so ambitious? Actually, The Day Before was planned as a much simpler project, reminiscent of Fortnite in graphics, with simple cities and a reduced design idea.
Originally, they oriented themselves to their own game “The Wild Eight” and wanted to further develop this rather simple game.
However, after about a year, they abandoned this modest but realistic idea for a survival game and wanted to bring “the revolution of the survival genre” instead.
For trailers, they beefed up the game with skyscrapers and super-detailed “The Division” levels. Suddenly, the studio from the coldest province in Russia wanted to take on the big fish:
A small snowy landscape for a handful of players became a massive MMO in a metropolis.
Employees thought they were really creating a masterpiece
Was The Day Before a scam? No, at least not planned or intended. According to the GameStar report, the studio and its bosses genuinely wanted to implement this extremely ambitious vision but totally miscalculated and overextended themselves.
What they promised future players in the trailers was by no means achievable with the team. There was a complete lack of knowledge and competence:
For many employees, working on The Day Before was their first job ever
The bosses apparently had no clue what they were doing, ruled with an iron fist, imposed fines, and created terrible working conditions, as reported by people
Many young people threw themselves into the project because there were hardly any opportunities to work in the gaming industry in Russia – hence, they had an extreme number of highly motivated developers, but little experience or competence in the team
Many employees were so young and inexperienced that they did not even realize how hopeless their situation was in tackling such an extremely ambitious project.
GameStar quotes a developer:
“I believed I was working on a project that would be a great success.”
The closer the release gets, the worse the working conditions become
How did it turn out? During development, the mood towards the project in the public eye steadily worsened. Release dates fell through, and suddenly there were issues regarding the name.
The bosses became increasingly erratic in their decisions: They played the new Spider-Man and then ordered their level designers to rework the nearly complete city so that it looked more like Peter Parker’s hometown.
According to GameStar, the team worked themselves to death with countless hours, but when the day of truth came and The Day Before released on Steam, it totally flopped.
Ultimately, with the approaching release date, everything was done in such a hurry that to keep the release, they had to slim down the game and minimize quality assurance. MMO was no longer on the agenda.
The publisher is having a vote on whether to continue the game themselves, but almost all employees are against it.
Dangerous mix of expectation and reality
The impression remains: The accusations that “The Day Before” is a scam are half correct. Everything that critics have said is true:
“The employees are overextending themselves completely”
“They will never make it”
“How is such a studio supposed to make such a game?”
All these questions were, according to the report, absolutely justified and appropriate.
But apparently, there was no malicious intent behind it, just a mix of “Hooray, we can do it!”, extravagant self-overestimation, and the willingness to exploit themselves.
Ultimately, The Day Before had a dangerous mix. They were ambitious and competent enough to release great trailers that excited many people about the game. But the company was not disciplined, experienced, and capable enough to keep the promises made to players by the trailers.
Mossanda is a Pal from Palworld with very special combat abilities. It is worth having this Pal on your team. We explain where to find Mossanda, how to breed it, and with which other Pals it can be paired.
Which Pal are we talking about? Mossanda is a Grass-type Pal. It comes with a variety of practical abilities, like its grenade launcher. Capturing the Pal, however, requires a certain strategy.
How is Mossanda fought? Since it is a Grass-type Pal, you should ideally bring Fire-type Pals. Mossanda is sensitive to that. This increases your chances, as the Pal is robust and defends itself well.
If you capture Mossanda, the Pal belongs to you. However, you can also obtain it without a fight. For example, by finding a large green egg from which the Pal can hatch. These eggs are scattered across the map. A Reddit user recently discovered a particularly curious egg.
Or you can breed your own Mossanda. We will explain how that works in the next section.

How to breed and pair Mossanda
How do you breed the Pal? There are several combinations with which you can breed your own Mossanda. Here are your options:
With which Pals can Mossanda be paired? Of course, Mossanda can also be paired with other Pals. This will give you new Pals. Some possible combinations are:
Penking and Mossanda: Wumpo Botan
Rushoar and Mossanda: Petallia
Celaray and Mossanda: Vanwyrm
Mossanda and Cinnamoth: Wumpo
Direhowl and Mossanda: Tombat
Mossanda and Woolipop: Dinossom
Mossanda and Rayhound: Grizzbolt

A big game like Palworld also harbors quite a few bugs. Some players rightfully wonder: Is this really a mistake, or is it supposed to be this way? Like in the case of a Reddit user who has been dealing with a steadily growing Pal.
What is the situation? Palworld has not been on the market for long. The release on January 19 was just two weeks ago. Furthermore, the game is currently in Early Access. Given that the game is still new and not fully developed, it is not surprising that new bugs continue to be discovered.
A similar question was raised by another player. In the case of the Reddit user kaityl3, there was also something that turned out to be a bit too big.

A bug that is causing many laughs on Reddit
What bug are we talking about? In his Reddit post, the user kaityl3 writes: “Every time I return to my base, my lucky Vixy gets bigger.”
And indeed, the accompanying image shows an almost gigantic Pal lying headfirst towards the ground in the player’s base. The Vixy is far larger than normal and would overshadow the nearby trees if it stood on two legs.

The Pal is already absurdly large and isn’t stopping to grow.
The user also writes that the bug disappears for a short time when he removes the Pal from the base and puts it in the Palbox. When he puts it back in the base, the Vixy starts to grow again.
It would now be so large that the player could see it from afar (via imgur.com). Theoretically, he can interact with the Pal normally. Theoretically. Practically speaking, there are some difficulties. Because when the player tries to pick up the Pal, the camera glitches inside the body. The rapid growth does not seem to be intended by the game.
What does the community think about the bug? Under the Reddit post, many amused users have left comments. Some of them jokingly wonder if this is really a bug or more of a unique feature.
“You say bug, I say feature,” notes user aluchan91. The bug is so absurd that it mainly causes laughter.
“If it hasn’t shrunk after 5 hours, please consult your doctor,” writes Nob354.
“Keep us posted, soon it will block the sun,” says WoodmanMedia.
“What the hell are you feeding it?” asks Neunix rightfully.
It seems hardly anyone is bothered by the bug. On the contrary, user Smoothsharkskin voices the sentiments of many players when he says, “This is the kind of bug that should never be fixed.”
With Ravendawn (PC), a new open-world sandbox MMORPG has launched in January 2024, which is now running significantly more successfully than one could have anticipated. The developers are pleased with the strong start and the influx of players and look confidently to the future.
What is Ravendawn?
Ravendawn is an open-world sandbox MMORPG from Tavernlight Games. It is Free2Play and was released on January 16 for PC.
The game is somewhat under the radar, not available on any major gaming platform like Steam.
However, it seems to be successfully developing through good word-of-mouth.

How can we see that the MMORPG is successful? As the site mmorpg.com reports, the game’s Discord server currently has 70,000 users and both game servers are full of players.
“We are a special game”
This is what the developers say: They are quite confident. They say: It’s been less than 2 weeks since release and we are still in the early stages of Ravendawn and what the MMORPG has to offer.

People should not panic and enjoy the journey, even if it is not yet top efficient. Everyone on the team is a power gamer and completely understands that one wants to play MMORPGs with top efficiency.
But players need to understand: This is a marathon, not a sprint:
“The world of Ravendawn will not disappear; unlike most MMORPG launches, we are consistently growing in players. Ravendawn is a special game and we will be here for years/decades.”
What’s behind it: Well, let’s see if everything develops as well as the developers are saying now.
There seems to be a lot of enthusiasm for the sandbox MMORPG, as can be seen on reddit, where people say they love the game.
However, there are also initial concerns on reddit (via reddit) about whether the game will still be good in the endgame, especially if one could not obtain their own house. There is a fear that, like in other sandbox MMORPGs, the endgame could be dominated by a small group of powerful players who keep others down. But even the player expressing these concerns states he currently loves Ravendawn.
At the start of Season 3 in Diablo 4, the Steward had to endure a lot of criticism from the community. Now, the third season is in full swing, and the construct is praised for its power: It even takes down powerful bosses on its own. And Blizzard will make your Companion even stronger in the next patch.
What is the Steward? The Steward, aka the construct, is the highlight of the third season in Diablo 4. Season 1 brought buffs in the form of Boshafte Hearts, while your character in Season 2 was impressive through Vampiric Powers.
You enhance the construct with rune stones that make it more powerful: You can equip your Steward with up to 2 so-called guiding stones that determine your companion’s behavior. Additionally, you can use up to 6 tuning stones. You have 12 guiding stones and 27 tuning stones to choose from.
The Steward is getting even stronger with Patch 1.3.1
How is Blizzard buffing the construct? The new Patch 1.3.1 for Diablo 4 goes live on February 1, 2024. Most of the patch focuses on the Steward, specifically buffs for your companion spider:
Circling: Damage increased by 30%.
Thrashing: Damage increased by 30%.
Ambushing: Damage increased by 20%.
Impaling: Damage increased by 30%.
Focused Fire: Damage increased by 20%.
Lightning Strike: Damage increased by 20%.
Fireflies: Damage increased by 10%.
Hurricane: Damage increased by 10%.
Reconstruction: Healing increased from 22% to 32% of maximum life at level 1. At level 10, healing is increased from 40% to 50% of maximum life.
Cold Support: Damage increased from 50% to 60% of the supported skill’s damage.
Bleeding Support: Damage increased from 50% to 60% of the supported skill’s damage.
Electric Support: Damage increased from 50% to 60% of the supported skill’s damage.
Poisons Support: Damage increased from 50% to 60% of the supported skill’s damage.
Dusk Support: Damage increased from 50% to 60% of the supported skill’s damage.
Burning Support: Damage increased from 50% to 60% of the supported skill’s damage.
As you can see, the Steward is getting a lot of buffs. Combined with the recently discovered usefulness of the companion, it makes it an absolute powerhouse. With the patch, the Steward might become your new best friend in Diablo 4.
After an emergency patch for the season, guiding and tuning stones now drop twice as often as before. This, combined with faster possible build testing, led to a significant uptick in the popularity of the pet: It is now even wiping out bosses like Uber Duriel effortlessly.
Have you had fun with the little companion yet? Or do you still find the Steward useless even with the guides, high level, and the buffs? Let us know in the comments.
