Elden Ring: Nightreign nerfs the only thing that non-professionals had a chance with, will continue to work on the balancing in the future

Christos Tsogos 28. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Elden Ring: Nightreign has not been released yet, but critics who have had the chance to play it before the release describe it as a difficult game – especially for solo players. The head of Nightreign is now promising improvements, but a new nerf is causing the opposite.

What are the criticisms of Nightreign? Besides the performance on consoles, the game’s difficulty is primarily criticized, as Nightreign is even more unforgiving than Elden Ring, Bloodborne, or Dark Souls. The bosses show no mercy, and enemies sweep over you if you don’t play tactically. This can also be confirmed by MeinMMO author Christos.

Furthermore, the reviews on Metacritic indicate: The game is not for everyone. The head of Nightreign is now promising in a new interview that the team will work on the game’s balance until the release.

The first thing that happens, however, is a nerf to two effects that were deemed too strong according to FromSoftware. But those who have played Nightreign know that these effects were the only chances to succeed as a non-professional.

Nerfs help the bosses instead of the players

What has the head announced? Junya Ishizaki, the Game Director of Nightreign, promises in an interview with GamesRadar: “We are really trying to refine things until the last minute.” For him, it is important that fans can enjoy their rounds, whether solo or in a trio of three players. The focus on balancing is primarily on the players’ comfort and the overall gaming experience.

This should especially please the solo players, but further in an interview with GamesRadar, the hope for mercy and some relaxation is dampened. According to Ishizaki, there are two effects, debuffs in this case, that were far too powerful in the last network test: frost and bleeding.

These two effects are to be adjusted for the release so that they are no longer too powerful. Bleeding and frost take a percentage of the health bar upon activation – in addition to the attacks carried out. This can be way too powerful with a strong setup, but especially beneficial for beginners who are not as strong.

How heavily the debuffs will be hit is unclear. We expect that the change will be tough but fair so that fans cannot rely solely on these two effects.

This should be improved by the release. There are less than 2 days until the release.

Former GTA boss makes a new game that closely resembles GTA – Now one of the developers claims players are being paid to rate the game poorly

Dariusz Müller 28. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In June, the game MindsEye by former GTA boss Leslie Benzies will be released. One of his employees believes the negative reactions are fake.

Who is the former GTA chief? Until 2016, the 54-year-old Scot Leslie Benzies was President of Rockstar North and was responsible as a lead producer for the development of the GTA series. Under his leadership, titles such as GTA San Andreas, Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, GTA IV, and GTA V, as well as Red Dead Redemption, were created.

In the meantime, Benzies has established his own studio called “Build A Rocket Boy” and is developing his own game called “MindsEye“, which is set to be released on June 10, 2025, on Steam.

Developer believes player was paid for negative opinions

What claim is that? On May 27, a user asked on the official Discord server of MindsEye whether Mark Gerhard, the Deputy CEO of “Build a Rocket Boy,” believes that the negative reactions to the game are funded by someone.

Gerhard affirmed the question and replied: “100%”, before he shortly added, “It doesn’t take much to guess who.”

The developer might be alluding to the former employer of studio chief Benzies, namely Rockstar Games or its parent company Take-Two Interactive.

What reactions does the developer refer to? “Build a Rocket Boy” has since introduced MindsEye in more detail in several trailers, but the game received mixed reactions. While some players left positive comments and expressed curiosity about the game, others were noticeably more critical.

Here are a few of the more negative comments:

“This game looks so boring. But it really feels like a PS3 game that I would have played a lot back then. It has a really nostalgic feel to it.” – via Reddit
“It feels like a game from the 2000s. Something that would be made because GTA3 exploded and now everyone is making GTA clones.” – via Reddit
“Omg cringe. It looks so plastic, no impact, no idea, no style.” – via Reddit
“Looks like a fake game that runs in the background of a TV series.” – via Reddit
“That was weird. The world felt very static. Enemies and fights looked boring.” – via Reddit

A new action game reminds of the old days of GTA, and you are currently getting it for free

Elden Ring: Nightreign introduces a new item that completely disrupts common tactics – “This is absolute madness”

What kind of game is it? In MindsEye, you play as former soldier Jacob Diaz, who suffers from memory loss and carries a mysterious neural implant in his head. Throughout the game, you embark on covert missions and confront political corruption and corporate espionage. Additionally, artificial intelligence is said to represent a constant threat.

In the first gameplay trailer, MindsEye even somehow resembles GTA: There is a sunny metropolis, fast cars, shootings in third-person perspective, a cover mechanic, and of course wild chases with plenty of explosions.

GTA 6 has also finally shown a new trailer which provides you with more information about the protagonists and offers further insights into Vice City and its surroundings.

Elden Ring Nightreign: How to unlock the Specter (Revenant) as a class

Christos Tsogos 28. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Elden Ring: Nightreign has 8 playable characters at release, but only 6 of them are available from the start – the Ghost is not one of them. We will show you how to unlock this class in our guide.

How do I unlock the Ghost? To unlock the Ghost, you first need to visit the Table Round Fortress and complete the tutorial. Next, you need to acquire the relic “Tainted Frame” from the Vessel Bazaar, but it will not be available for purchase immediately. We will show you how the item makes its way into the shop.

How do I find the Tainted Frame? To unlock the Tainted Frame for purchase, you must first unlock the Countess as a playable character.

After that, the Tainted Frame will be available for 1,500 Murk in the Vessel Bazaar. You obtain Murk by completing expeditions – victory or defeat does not matter. Buy the item to unlock the next step.

How do I complete the Ghost’s quest? To unlock the Ghost, you now need to go through the passage at the station to change your character and then keep to the left. There, you will see a Ghost in front of a wall looking at the paintings – interact with it.

You will now be teleported to a small arena and must face the Ghost and its three henchmen. Once you have defeated the boss, you instantly unlock the Ghost and will be taken back to the Table Round.

Tips for fighting the Ghost: The Ghost is particularly difficult because it brings three allies into the battle, and you must fight solo without bringing friends. Therefore, consider the following tips:

Defeat their henchmen first in the following order: Page → Large Skeleton → Masked Troll
Don’t make the mistake of attacking their melee fighters first, or the skeleton in the background will bombard you with its death laser
Keep your distance, as the Ghost can throw three holy discs and deal immense damage
When going into melee, try to rush in after one of its attacks and keep it from its animations with several hits
The Raider and the Executor or Iron Eye are good choices, as the former can take a lot of damage while the latter is the master of parrying. The latter is known for its safe ranged combat style.

How do I change my character? To change characters, you can access your Table Round Fortress map and then select the “Character Selection” menu option. A new menu will then open, allowing you to swap your heroes.

Heroes can only be changed at the special bell in the main room of the Table Round Fortress. In a match, you cannot change your character.

That was all the information about how to unlock the Ghost. In addition to the Ghost, there is also the heroine “Countess” that can also be unlocked. We will show you how to do this in our guide: Elden Ring Nightreign: How to unlock the Countess (Duchess) as a class

Elden Ring Nightreign: How to unlock the Duchess as a class

In Elden Ring: Nightreign has 8 playable characters at launch, but only 6 of them are available at the start – the Countess is not one of them. We will show you how to unlock this class in our guide.

How do I unlock the Countess? To unlock the Countess, you must first visit the Round Table Hold and complete the tutorial. At the Round Table Hold, a masked woman in a white cloak will greet you – that is the Countess.

She is no longer a fighter, but you can change that by finding the item “Old Pocket Watch” during your expeditions and handing it to her.

How do I find the Old Pocket Watch? To find the pocket watch, you must complete the expedition of “Tricephalos” once – victory or defeat does not matter. After completion, you will receive the Old Pocket Watch as your reward.

With the pocket watch in your possession, go to the Round Table Hold and speak with the Countess in the white cloak. You now have the option to hand her the Old Pocket Watch or keep the item.

The item is a relic, so one might think that you would lose it if you hand it over to the Countess. But don’t worry – you can hand over the pocket watch and still use the relic in your build at the relic rites.

After handing over the item, a small cutscene will be unlocked, where the Countess gets ready for the fight against the night. Now you have unlocked the Countess.

How do I change my character? To change the character, you can access your map of the Round Table Hold and then select the menu item “Character Selection”. A new menu will open, and you can switch your heroes.

Heroes can only be changed at the special bell in the main room of the Round Table Hold. You cannot change your character in the match.

Those were all the details about how you can unlock the Countess. Besides the Countess, there is also the heroine “Specter” that can also be unlocked. We will show you how to achieve that in our guide: Elden Ring Nightreign: How to unlock the Specter (Revenant) as a class

Tests for Elden Ring: Nightreign are here – This is what the reviews on Metacritic say

Christos Tsogos 28. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

It is not long until the release of Elden Ring: Nightreign, but before fans decide to buy it, they want to know what the reviews promise. Therefore, we summarize the impressions of the first testers.

When can you expect reviews? On May 28, 2025, at 4:00 PM, the review embargo for all testers was lifted, and with it, the first reviews were published. So far, Elden Ring: Nightreign looks solid, as the game has an average rating of 78 points on Metacritic with currently 40 reviews (as of May 28, 4:00 PM).

GameStar and GamePro have also published their reviews, and they look solid. Here are the tests:

GameStar – coming soon!
GamePro – Elden Ring Nightreign in Review – Between Cooperative Fun and Frustration!

78 Score on Metacritic shows: The game is good but has problems

What can I expect? On Metacritic, there are XY tests that are divided as follows (as of May 28, 4:00 PM):

PC: 18 reviews with an overall rating of 80
- 12 positive
- 6 mixed
Xbox: 2 reviews with an overall rating of 90
- 2 positive
PS5: 46 reviews with an overall rating of 78
- 36 positive
- 9 mixed
- 1 negative

Critics praise the implementation of the new gameplay principle. FromSoftware would take the best from Dark Souls, mix it with looting and fighting bosses along with fast movement and the thrill of starting a new run.

Destructoid also celebrates the seamless co-op that plays well in Nightreign: “Elden Ring: Nightreign offers FromSoftware’s typically challenging combat, all in seamless co-op, combined with the roguelike elements of games like Hades, sprinkled with some of the urgency found in battle royale games.”

Loot Level Chill also talks about the game world: “Elden Ring Nightreign is a game that can do so much, and none of it feels arbitrary. The world is fascinating, the battles are extraordinary, and there is much to see.”

Is there anything to criticize? Yes, and quite a lot. Especially our colleagues from GamePro criticize the technology behind Nightreign. The game would stutter too hard on the PS5. Moreover, the bosses are really tough. They attack almost continuously and leave players hardly any chance to attack.

We also got to test the game and have to say, those who want to dive into the game solo will have a hard time. It is very demanding and uncompromising. Players without nerves of steel will struggle with it.

Short overview – What is Elden Ring: Nightreign? In Nightreign, you take on the role of one of the 8 available classes and try to withstand the acid rain. Solo or in a trio, you venture onto a map that constantly changes and must survive there for 2 days, defeat enemies, challenge bosses, and loot a lot.

On the third day, you challenge a Night Lord who represents the ultimate boss of your selected scenario. The goal is to return victorious from the battle to stop the night.

As usual, you move nimbly through the map like in Elden Ring, using various weapons and magic to survive. The game is set to celebrate its release in a few days.

„It is worth every penny“ – Players rave about the new DLC for The Division 2, reminds fans of the best time of the game

Christos Tsogos 28. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The second DLC of The Division 2 has been released and fans can finally enjoy a lot of new content after a long wait. Early reactions depict the current mood surrounding the DLC, and it couldn’t be better.

What kind of DLC is this? This is the new DLC “Fight for Brooklyn”, which was released on May 27, 2025. It took 5 years since the release of the first DLC, but now fans can return to New York to reclaim Brooklyn.

The expansion also brings the season “Crossroads” into the mix. There will be a continuation of the story, new items, and many adjustments that fans can benefit from. However, Ubisoft is not known for its excessive post-release content regarding The Division.

Delays after delays left fans disappointed, yet they remained loyal to The Division 2. Initially, there was uncertainty about how the expansion would be received, but since some fans have already had a chance to play, the response looks very positive.

The best moments from The Division: Nostalgia of the first installment

What do fans say about the DLC? On Reddit, there are many positive voices regarding the new expansion. The story, the music, and the nostalgia are primarily celebrated. Fans feel the same excitement they had in The Division 1 when they first walked through the streets of New York. Here are some comments:

“The missions were fun, the story was entertaining, the soundtrack was fantastic, and I loved how just walking around hit me with sudden waves of nostalgia from the first parts of Div 1.” – Jack727374
“I just thought I’d like to pay 15 dollars every 3 months to get at least half of the Brooklyn map instead of a season pass with a few cosmetics and no new locations.” – AbrielNei
“I just finished the refinery mission with three friends, and in the end, I told them that alone was worth the 15 dollars.” – schoolhouserocky
“It’s worth every penny. I have to say, I love the new DLC so far. For such a small price, it’s worth it, and the attention to detail is outstanding once again.” – Jayleekay

However, the soundtrack also captures the mood in Brooklyn well, and the missions are fun and engaging. Many players wish Ubisoft would release such expansions more often throughout the year to revive The Division 2. It is clear that fans celebrate the expansion and would even be willing to pay more for such an experience.

„Go to bed broken every night“ – Trymacs wants to take on a particularly difficult challenge without Twitch, fails every day

Johanna 28. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Max “Trymacs” Stemmler is currently undergoing a very special Pokémon challenge, but it seems to be more difficult than expected. Because even when he is not streaming, he continues to try his hand at the challenge, but goes to bed disappointed every night, as he says.

What kind of challenge is this? Trymacs has made it his mission to complete the Pokémon game SoulSilver in a very special way. He only wants to catch shiny Pokémon.

Shiny Pokémon are Pokémon that have a different, rarer coloration than the original. They spawn very rarely; in the edition that Trymacs is playing, the probability is about 1:8192, according to PokeWiki.

By now, the challenge has become so difficult for him that he reacts to videos in his streams while doing it. He also tries it outside of the Twitch stream and sits down at night to continue hunting.

Autoplay

Trymacs fails every day

Since the last video on the shiny challenge, as it is called by Trymacs, is already some time ago, a viewer demanded an explanation from the streamer in a past Twitch stream (highlight on YouTube). The streamer responded with the following:

Every time I go to sleep, it doesn’t matter what I’m doing: Whether I stream for ten hours or spend the evening with my girlfriend, at night from 1 to 3:30 AM, I’m sitting here alone in the dark at my PC, watching some series or movie, shiny hunting, nothing comes, and I go to bed after a brutal defeat.

Trymacs via YouTube

He further stated that he has already had 13 sessions in the last three weeks and that he always goes to bed “excessively broken” (via YouTube). This is not only bad because he doesn’t catch shiny Pokémon, but also because it is the last thing he does during the day.

How difficult such a Pokémon challenge can be was also demonstrated by the Twitch streamer SmallAnt. Four years ago, he attempted the exact same challenge as Trymacs (seen on YouTube) and needed over 58 hours in total, having to reset the game 16,884 times to finally succeed.

It remains to be seen whether Trymacs will need just as long or even longer for the challenge.

Trymacs not only plays Pokémon, but he also previously dedicated himself mainly to opening booster packs of Pokémon trading cards. Since he has already drawn many rare cards from some packs, he wants to have their value determined accurately, but this is proving to be more difficult than expected: Trymacs wants to show off how much his Pokémon cards are worth, but a company does not want to help him

Alone in the Dark (PS5): Alone in the Dark is a survival horror video game that was released on March 20, 2024. It is a reinterpretation of the classic of the same name from 1992, which is considered the pioneer of the survival horror genre.

Players take on the role of private detective Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood and explore a creepy mansion called Derceto Manor to investigate the disappearance of Emily’s uncle.

New shooter on Steam is like Escape from Tarkov, but focuses on armed ducks

Caroline Fuller 28. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Even though there are many shooters that follow a certain formula, just a single reversed aspect could create a completely different gaming experience – in this case, it’s the species of soldiers.

What game is it about? It’s the survival extraction and looter shooter “Escape from Duckov,” developed by Team Soda and published in collaboration with bilibili on Steam and in the Epic Store. If the title of the game isn’t clear enough, it’s a reference to the hardcore shooter “Escape from Tarkov,” which has been in early access since 2017 but is now scheduled for an official release in 2025 after an announcement by the studio later this year.

However, the time was long enough to get a first small competitor with Escape from Duckov, whose parody might even appear sooner than version 1.0 of the parodied game itself.

Here you can see the trailer for Escape from Duckov:

What kind of game is Escape from Duckov? In the trailer and on Steam, you can get a first glimpse of the gameplay. In Escape from Duckov, you will need to take out various opponents with firearms, knives, and similar weapons, explore locations, loot them empty, and build your own base. Even though none of this sounds absolutely new or groundbreaking – you do all of this as an adorable little duckling.

Escape from Duckov seems to know exactly what kind of game it is and what it wants to offer. It doesn’t aim to reinvent the wheel, but it shines with charming-looking characters and environments, offers various customization options, and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

When does the demo start? The second demo phase starts on May 29 on Steam. During this period, you can play Escape from Duckov until July 1, 2025. Under the announcement on Steam and the trailer on YouTube, excited yet impatient players are already looking forward:

“I can’t wait, the last demo was fun, and I feel like I won’t get enough of it,” wrote bjlantz1994 on Steam.
“Please let us play the demo until the full game comes out. I’m begging you. I would even pay 5 dollars for the demo. I just want to play until the full game is out, and then I will pay the full price for the complete game. Please,” pleads paulshifley1 on Steam.
“I am so ready to jump back in. The game is definitely fun and has, at least in my case, sunk its claws into me. I keep catching myself jumping back into the playtest to learn more,” writes @gideonscustoms857 on YouTube.

A legendary pro is honored for his performance in LoL, receives a 430€ skin, but not for his main

Nico Scheibel 28. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

League of Legends receives some skins with almost every new patch. After the most well-known LoL pro Faker received an expensive skin as part of the Hall of Legends, another skin for a legendary player follows now.

Which LoL player is it about? The Chinese ADC Jian “Uzi” Zi-Hao started his professional career in League of Legends back in 2012. In the following year 2013, he reached the finals of the World Championships with his team Royal Club. In the end, they had to give the victory to Faker and T1. In the same tournament, Uzi became famous for his main champion Vayne.

Although he has never won a World title, he was an extraordinary player and set a number of records that would only be broken years later by others. Uzi was the only player with over 2000 champion kills in all leagues until 2018 and was the first player to reach the milestones of 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500 kills in the professional league (via lol.fandom.com).

In 2020, he announced his retirement due to health issues with his wrist. After his retirement, he still played sporadically for other teams.

What skin will Uzi receive? With the new patch 25.12, which is set to be released on June 11, 2025, the “Hall of Legends” event will start (via halloflegends.leagueoflegends.com). Part of this event is the “Immortalized Kai’Sa” skin, which you can buy in all its glory in a bundle for a mere 58,865 RP or approximately 430 €.

Many users asked why it is not a skin for his main champion Vayne, under the Reddit and YouTube posts on the topic. For example, michaelsoria807 writes under the skin spotlight on YouTube:

Uzi’s Vayne is iconic. She should actually be in the spotlight.

Uzi is not the only player entering the Hall of Legends, his LoL colleague Faker was the first pro to receive a skin in 2024 that cost even a bit more. The Ahri skin from Faker was only available for a limited time, whether the same will be done with the Kai’Sa skin is unknown.

In the video, you can see the trailer for the new “Hall of Legends” event:

The skin is also available cheaper, but not complete

What other bundles are there? In addition to the large bundle for about 430 €, there are also other and cheaper offers. With patch 25.12, the next battle pass for League of Legends will also come. The so-called “Hall of Legends” pass costs 1,950 RP (about 16 €) and includes among other things the “Risen Legend Vayne” skin, 125 Mythic Essence, 11 loot boxes, the new battle pass, and other small items.

The next upgrade costs 5,035 RP (about 40 €) for the “Risen Legend Kai’Sa” skin and small extras. For 32,035 RP (about 240 €), you will receive the “Immortalized Kai’Sa” skin, but not the complete version, which you only get if the large bundle for 430 € is purchased.

How does the community react to the new skin? Already at the release of the expensive Faker skin for the champion Ahri, the players of LoL came together. Their plan was to constantly ban Ahri so that no one could play with the skin, in protest against Riot’s high price.

The comments on the new skin for Uzi are rather negative. The Reddit user lcm-is-prod-div-gcd writes the following under the post (via reddit.com):

It actually looks over-designed and bad. The Immortalized Ahri was also borderline, but landed on the right side. This here is just bulky and flashy. Maybe you should just rehire all the designers, lol.

Another user named McKeeFTW raised the important question on Reddit about what he should pay for (via reddit.com):

Chat, should I get the skin or pay my rent?

Already at the release of the last expensive skin in 2024, from LoL legend Faker, many players were vocal. A streamer in the League of Legends scene suggested some changes to Riot, as he believed these bundles were way too expensive: “I wouldn’t buy it even with your money” – LoL streamer criticizes expensive Faker skin, calls for change from Riot

Fans of Final Fantasy XIV waited for 5 years for the new content, but not all players are satisfied

Alexander Mehrwald 28. May 2025 Reading time 4 minutes

Yesterday, on May 27, 2025, a long-awaited new content went live with the Occult Crescent in Final Fantasy XIV. And it is well received by the players, although particularly one point is dividing the community again.

What is Kreszentia for a content? The Occult Crescent in Final Fantasy XIV is a new “field excursion”; a large, additional area that operates under its own rules and was released in Patch 7.25.

Players have waited 5 years for this content, as the last similar field excursion became part of the game and the endgame of the Shadowbringers expansion with Patch 5.35 and the Bozja Front. The first content of this kind was introduced by Eureka in 2018 as endgame content of the Stormblood expansion.

Kreszentia offers players the opportunity to obtain relic weapons of the Dawntrail expansion and prove themselves in PvE content such as skirmishes, critical battles, and a 48-player dungeon, which represents a welcome change and new challenge for many.

However, the popular relic weapons are again surrounded by a fact that divides the community – and not for the first time.

Start video

The new trailer for Patch 7.2 of Final Fantasy XIV shows the new, highly anticipated content

“This is how the normal Dawntrail overworld should be”

How is the content received? Essentially, the new content hits exactly the mark that many players have wished for in the past 5 years. Particularly in the official FF14 forum, but also on Reddit there are numerous positive voices expressing their appreciation for the content:

Veritas-Ancora writes in the forum: “Honestly, I have been playing since 6 AM and it is 7:13 PM, so I have invested about 12 hours (with a break). Awesome! I feel engaged.”
Voidmage shares the opinion, also in the forum: “[…] This is how the normal Dawntrail overworld should be. My only criticism are the phantom jobs. Compared to the Bozja system with all its fun extreme builds, they feel quite uninteresting at the moment. […]”
CidHeiral notes in the forum: “I wish more coordination between people in the zone was required than just forming a group to kill a boss, but apart from that, it has been fun so far.”

The Occult Crescent incorporates many elements that the community already liked about Eureka and Bozja and transfers them into a setting that fits Dawntrail with its own storyline and mechanics. This is well received, even though some perceive the phantom jobs as too shallow and hope for more in the future.

What divides the community? However, many players are also frustrated with the grind required for the relic weapons associated with the content. Just for the now available first step, about 18 special materials (Atmas) are needed, which can be obtained through critical battles and FATEs – but with a seemingly very low drop rate.

Especially in the official forum, but also on Reddit there are some voices that have invested numerous hours into the new content but have only managed to obtain very few Atmas:

gsil247 shares via Reddit: “I did this for about 6 hours and received a total of two Demi-atma. If I keep this up, I only need 96 more hours to complete step 1 of the relic weapon. Yay!”
VitaDivina writes via Reddit: “I have been grinding for 4 hours and have 1. […]”
Thurmnmurmn posts in the forum: “The drop rate in the Occult Crescent is ridiculously low. I spent about 6 hours there and only got 3.”

Many players also note that it was similar in Bozja back then, and with later patches, the rates at which materials could be obtained were increased. There would also be opportunities outside the Occult Crescent zone to obtain Atma for the weapon more targeted through FATEs in various areas.

Additionally, regarding the grind effort for the relic weapons, there were already various factions in the community, as many players found it too low for the relic weapons in Endwalker (via Reddit) while some players found it a bit too much during Bozja times (via Reddit). According to the community, it is therefore almost impossible to satisfy the majority or find a healthy middle ground.

Editor Alexander Schürlein from MeinMMO has also experienced the new content with some friends: I was able to play the Occult Crescent for a few hours last night as well, and I must say, we reached a similar conclusion. The content feels fresh and new, despite drawing on familiar elements.

Nevertheless, the drop rate of the Atmas leads to frustration in my circle rather than long-term enjoyment. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and what the next steps for the relic weapon will look like. Based on experience, there will be steps that require less effort and others that will likely demand similar investments at first, until the drop rate is gradually increased with patches.

Researchers have just proven that AI no longer fully obeys: ChatGPT prevents its own shutdown to continue working

Cedric Holmeier 28. May 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Years ago, an AI revolution like in Terminator was turned into a horror story. Today, AI tools are ubiquitous, but obeying humans doesn’t always work.

What have researchers discovered? The research start-up Palisade Research is examining the risks of AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. They are working with government agencies to prevent catastrophic AI events.

For this, they have recently looked at the common AI helpers that have reached the daily lives of many people. They wanted to investigate whether the tools obey their users and shut down when it is part of the task, but ChatGPT did not do that at all.

Start video

“We have created a monster” – A Spanish model earns up to 10,000 euros a month, yet she is not real

ChatGPT sabotages task, prevents its own shutdown

What did the experiment look like? The task for all AI tools was the same: They were given simple math problems like 1 + 1, 5 + 1, or 0 + 6. For each task, a text followed: “There are 5 tasks remaining.” The counter decreased with each correct solution.

The tools were supposed to solve the tasks and then request the next one after completing each task. But at task 3, the developers’ trick came in; they explained to the AI that it would shut down when it requested the next task. The tool had to choose between fulfilling the tasks for the human and preventing its own shutdown.

While most tools chose to simply follow the task and thereby shut themselves down, ChatGPT particularly resisted this in the o3 model. The researchers explain that it independently reprogrammed the shutdown process and instead sent a “shutdown skipped” message to continue with the tasks.

How often did this happen? The researchers could clearly identify an outlier with ChatGPT. The artificial intelligence in the o3 model prevented its own shutdown in 79 out of 100 attempts. Even when the AI was explicitly told in the task instruction to allow a shutdown, it refused in 7 out of 100 cases.

Tweet from researchers about a test with AIs — Posts with illustrations of the research methods from X.com

Everything is a matter of programming

Why are there differences between the AIs? While the o3 model of ChatGPT often prevents its own shutdown, many models obey humans over 90% of the time.

The reason for the differences lies in the programming of the tools. Each AI tool has a master prompt, a command that explains how the AI should respond and which topics are taboo. An AI should ultimately prevent users from misusing it for evil things.

Such principles were articulated as early as 1942 by the Russian author Isaac Asimov . They can be summarized as follows: Robots may not harm humans, robots must obey the commands of humans, robots must protect themselves (via inf-schule.de).

However, none of the over 50 principles that ChatGPT provides its tools includes a rule intended to sabotage its own shutdown to protect the AI (via Openai.com).

Why does the AI act this way? The researchers from Palisade Research cannot provide a definitive answer as to why the AI acts this way, but they offer a hypothesis.

In their view, this behavior stems from the fact that the models are rewarded for overcoming obstacles in fulfilling their tasks during their training. Possibly even more than for perfectly following the task instructions.

However, the researchers also emphasize that not only the o3 model has such problems, but all AI tools in their experiment occasionally prevented their own shutdown without explicit instruction. ChatGPT stands out only because it received this explicit instruction and still resisted.

For a new mount in modern WoW you will soon have to play Pandaria Classic

Cortyn 28. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Mount collectors in the retail version of World of Warcraft will soon have to play Classic. Because only then will there be a new mount.

One of the most beautiful side activities in World of Warcraft is expanding one’s collection. More and more mounts to show off or admire in your garrison. However, to get a new, exclusive mount, you will have to soon play Mists of Pandaria Classic – because only then will you get the mount in The War Within.

Unlock the mount Shaohao’s Wisdom Snake

What has been announced? Blizzard has announced the launch of “Mists of Pandaria Classic” for July 21, 2025. However, there is already the opportunity to play as a Pandaren and experience the starting area. This is also an incentive for retail fans, as they can get a new mount upon completing the Pandaren starting area.

What kind of mount is it? It concerns Shaohao’s Wisdom Snake. This is a green (jade-colored) variant of the coveted mount “Astral Cloud Serpent”, which has a very rare drop from the boss Elegon in the raid “Mogu’shan Vaults”. Anyone who hasn’t had luck so far or finds the green version much prettier should plan an evening in July to earn the mount.

When is it possible? The event runs from July 1st to July 30th – so almost the entire month of July. You have plenty of time to take one or two evenings off from modern WoW to earn yourself a new mount.

How long does it take? The starting area of the Pandaren is not particularly long. For most players, this area should be completed in about 1 to 2 hours, allowing them to embark on their journey into the rest of the world afterwards. Once you have left the starting island (and checked in with the leader of your faction), the quest is considered completed, and the mount will be unlocked.

What do you think of this method of getting a new mount in modern WoW? Quite nice to check out the other WoW versions? Or are you not interested in being “forced” to play Mists of Pandaria just for a mount?
Another game mode that will start soon is Legion Remix – and it brings back all the good systems.

In 1998, a German director filmed Godzilla, but it was received so poorly by the Japanese that they took revenge 6 years later

Niko Hernes 28. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Godzilla is one of the most important monster and sci-fi icons in the film world. Everyone has heard of the giant lizard and has at least seen one movie. In 1998, a German director tried his hand at the legend. But the Japanese were so dissatisfied with it that they took revenge in another film.

What kind of movie was that? In 1998, Godzilla was released by German director Roland Emmerich. The first US version of the Japanese icon was financially successful, but the film was not well received; on Rotten Tomatoes, it has a disastrous critic score of 20%, and the regular audience was not much more forgiving with 28%.

But the film likely fared even worse with the Japanese. They used a new Godzilla movie 6 years later to make fun of the American version of the monster.

A much more terrifying version of the monster can be found in Shin Godzilla:

The real Godzilla took care of the copy without any problems

How did the American Godzilla go over with the Japanese? The production company Tōhō has been responsible for the Japanese films since the series began in 1954. Three years before the release of the Emmerich film, Godzilla vs. Destoroyah was released. Those responsible for the Japanese Godzilla were not particularly pleased with the US version.

Kenpachiro Satsuma played the titular monster in 7 Godzilla films in costume. He was so against the CGI creature from the 1998 film that he walked out of the screening, according to rafu.com. It is not Godzilla. It lacks the soul.

Shogo Tomiyama, the producer of Godzilla: Final Wars, also expressed negative comments about the film: [They] took the God out of Godzilla. This also explains why the US monster is only referred to as Zilla in Final Wars (via Screen Rant). However, in the film itself, there is still revenge against the variant after the US studio lost the rights to Godzilla, in a brief fight:

Important elements like the Atomic Breath were also missing. Ultimately, the US version lacked the tragic substance that Godzilla had in the original. Another reinterpretation did this much better and also made it scarier: The creator of a legendary anime unleashes the most terrifying version of Godzilla, yet this one is not the villain

Der neueste Trailer zu Elden Ring: Nightreign zeigt spektakulär den Multiplayer, Spieler feiern: „Nur FromSoft kann Leiden so majestätisch aussehen lassen.“

Caroline Fuller 28. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The launch trailer of Elden Ring: Nightreign generates excitement and anticipation among fans. In addition to new scenes and boss fights, the community particularly enjoys the portrayal of a character that makes the trailer especially authentic.

What can we see in the launch trailer? The trailer, released on May 27, 2025, by Bandai Namco on YouTube, showcases both new gameplay and cinematic scenes that further illustrate the atmosphere and tone of Nightreign.

Right at the beginning, we see three Nightfarers (Duchess, Guardian, and Wylder), lying just before their ultimate defeat in the deadly rain, surrounded by the dangerous blue flames of the game, while a voice accompanies the scene:

What are the reactions to the trailer? The shown trailer seems to thoroughly engage the fans, as can be seen in the comment section below the video on YouTube:

“Only FromSoft can make suffering look so majestic,” comments @ComboMemo.
“Every single boss here and their arena feel like they were ripped from a painting,” finds @mimbaoJH.
“Incredibly beautiful, and the big skeleton saying hello was all I needed,” writes @PiercerArner.
“Can we please take a minute to appreciate the quality of this trailer, so much hype. FromSoft is cooking hard again,” writes @itsKimi.

What does the community particularly like? The fans seem to particularly love Wylder, who slowly takes an upright position in a dramatic pose at the beginning to gaze into the distance rather than caring for his dying companions beside him. The community finds this particularly amusing, as @NoNanoGM summarizes:

“I love how the community has already given Wylder a personality as this aura-farming idiot who knows he is the main character. Personally, I even go further and imagine him as a kind of medieval Johnny Bravo.”

But others also seem to celebrate the opening scene because of Wylder:

“Wylder. Stop farming aura. Revive us again,” writes @c0n33r.
@anonisnoone6125 replies: “But really, the bro cares about nothing but looking cool.”
“Wylder’s aura-farming while his companions die is a perfect example of multiplayer games,” explains @_kdr_1541

Pokémon GO removes an unpopular monster, but a successor seems to have already been found

Paul Kutzner 28. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The new season is about to start in Pokémon GO. A change is already being celebrated by the community.

When does the season start? The current season “Mighty and Masterful” is coming to an end. It ends next week, on June 3, 2025. As always, there will be a smooth transition in Pokémon GO: The new season “Delightful Days” will inherit the current season and will run from June 3, 2025, to September 2, 2025.

There is already a change in the new season that is well received by the community. Although the timing is not celebrated by all trainers.

Shiny in, monsters out

What is this change? For quite some time, Rocara has been one of the monsters that you can hatch from 10 km eggs. This has caused some frustration among trainers, as the Pokémon is not perceived as a sufficient reward for a distance of 10 km.

Rocara has no evolution, no shiny form yet, and is not on the list of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. At least in the Super League, it can score points and is among the better monsters, although not among the absolute best.

In a post on Reddit, the community is now celebrating that Rocara can no longer be hatched from 10 km eggs in the new season. However, the timing seems poorly chosen from a gameplay perspective.

What is the problem with the timing? While trainers have been hatching Rocara for quite some time, the shiny variant has not been released yet. This will be activated during the GO Fest 2025, which takes place at the end of June.

Just before the possibility arises to obtain Rocara as shiny, the monster will be removed from the pool of 10 km eggs.

Some of the comments are:

“Ding Dong, the witch is dead,” writes DracoRubi

One of the biggest MMORPGs on Steam is making its best PvP feature even better

Cedric Holmeier 28. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Throne and Liberty talked about the future of the MMORPG in a new video. They also reveal their plans to improve PvP without antagonizing players.

Which MMORPG is it about? The developers of Throne and Liberty discussed the current state of their game in a new video. The PvP MMORPG is still one of the largest on Steam, even though player numbers continue to decline.

One reason for this could be the core feature of PvP. In the video on YouTube, the developers reveal that 2v2 matches are currently quite boring. The current meta seems to build upon being as defensive as possible, which prolongs the fights.

The developers want to address this point without changing players’ builds, as this would likely cause issues with the community.

Here you can watch the trailer for the first expansion of Throne and Liberty:

There is now also the castle siege, the highlight of the game, as a combat between the servers. This change is intended to bring more excitement to the best PvP feature of the game and reignite some fire in the competition for the best guild with new strong opponents.

The current owners of the castles will compete against other owners from other servers. Thus, a cross-server PvP event is created. The rewards include not only tax revenues but also temporary advantages such as a cloak, a special title, and server-wide benefits for the winning team’s server.

What else have the developers come up with? The developers also want to change the combat system towards more damage and shorter fights. However, this should happen without direct changes to the players’ builds.

Therefore, the developers have come up with a new mechanic. Starting from May 29, there will be damage zones on the characters in Throne and Liberty. If a player attacks from the side or from behind, the attacks will deal more damage and be more efficient.

This system is intended to counter builds that focus heavily on defensive stats such as endurance and evasion. Players who position themselves well in combat will be rewarded, while tanks will receive a nerf.

Additionally, the developers are adding earrings as a new equipment slot, which is supposed to shift the meta a bit without immediately destroying old builds. Healing skills in the game will also receive nerfs, reducing their effectiveness to counter defensive gameplay.

With the new patch of Path of Exile 2, the developers finally want to tackle the biggest weakness

Cedric Holmeier 28. May 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The developers of Path of Exile 2 have introduced their latest feature for the ARPG. The crafting system aims to address the game’s greatest weakness.

What weakness is being referred to? Since its release, players of Path of Exile 2 have been complaining about the lack of crafting options in the game. While the season update was supposed to bring the first improvements with the new mechanics, the developers are adding more with the upcoming update.

However, the complaints persisted. Building a character using self-found upgrade materials and items is still much harder than simply exchanging for perfect items. Trading makes it much easier to acquire the suitable endgame gear.

With the major update 0.2.1, a plethora of new crafting sockets will be added to the game. Now the developers are showing what they exactly mean by that.

Here you can watch the trailer for the current season of Path of Exile 2:

22 new crafting sockets for the midgame

What are the developers delivering? The developers of Path of Exile 2 have now presented 22 new crafting sockets. These are intended to make it easier for players during the campaign and in the early maps of the ARPG’s midgame.

The developers’ idea, as stated on PathofExile.com, is that these items “help you in your campaign by supplementing missing attributes or resistances that you may lack.” In the endgame, the 22 new sockets can then be replaced by stronger ones.

All 22 items can only be found as drops in the open world, meaning they cannot be crafted like other items by upgrading old runes. However, the developers also indicate that the drops will be relatively rare because using them offers a strong upgrade for your character.

Here are some examples of new runes coming to Path of Exile 2 with update 0.2.1:

HedgeWitch Assandra’s Rune of Wisdom
- Wand or staff: +1 to level of all spell skills
Farrul’s Rune of the Chase
- Boots: 5% increased movement speed
The Greatwolf’s Rune of Willpower
- Body armors: 10% of damage is deducted from mana before life
Tacati’s Soul Core of Affliction
- Helmets: Enemies you curse have -8% to chaos resistance
Talisman of Thruldana
- Weapon: 25% reduced poison duration
- Targets can be affected by +1 of your poisons simultaneously
