Player masters the toughest preparation for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Karsten Scholz 29. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In preparation for the release of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, numerous RPG fans are currently playing the first part. One player has mastered the toughest 4 achievement combination on Steam in his run.

What achievements are those? The player NeedleworkerDense736 has mastered Kingdom Come Deliverance on Steam with the following four achievements (via Reddit):

Merciful: Kill no one within the main quest storyline (except for a wight) – mastered so far by 0.7 percent of all Steam owners of Kingdom Come Deliverance.
Just a Scratch: Complete the game in hardcore mode with all negative specializations – 0.9 percent.
Virgin: Live in celibacy and complete the game as a virgin – 1.0 percent.
Hardcore Henry: Complete the game in hardcore mode – 1.2 percent.

The percentages show it: Only a few owners of the RPG have secured even one of these four achievements on Steam. Collecting all four milestones is even more remarkable. By the way, NeedleworkerDense736 has a total playtime of over 105 hours. Whether every minute went into this run is unclear.

The successor to Kingdom Come will be dark – here you can see the story trailer:

Like a Virgin

What does hardcore mean? When you activate the hardcore difficulty level for Kingdom Come Deliverance at the beginning, numerous details of the game change. Here are the highlights:

Important quest progress no longer grants a save point.
The battles are deadlier, healing potions take effect more slowly.
Goods from traders and repairs are more expensive.
No more fast travel; Henry’s position is not displayed on the map. Points of Interest only appear on the map when you approach them.
No more displays for health (except in the inventory), stamina, enemy health, and horse stamina.
You must choose at least two from a list of negative perks.

A comparable hardcore mode for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is supposed to come in spring 2025.

How does the community rate the run?

EltonBongJovi jokes on Reddit: “This Henry knows nothing but hardness in the truest sense of the word.”
Organic_Interview_30 sees it realistically (via Reddit): “I’m currently trying to get the Virgin achievement, but I never manage to be merciful. I just love killing people too much.” Surely a “in the game” is missing there. Most definitely…
Alanah_V lives by Madonna’s philosophy (via Reddit): “I want to achieve the Virgin achievement in real life.”
Crispy1961 recalls on Reddit: “I did this run a few years ago and was pleasantly surprised and even impressed that it wasn’t boring. I only took 21 hours, and the game always offered an alternative to killing. I even enjoyed the sections with the troop battles. I used a mace and was very careful not to deal a lethal blow. This run is highly recommended […].”

von Niko Hernes

What do I need to know about Kingdom Come? The first RPG from Warhorse Studios was released on February 13, 2018, and despite some technical issues, it became a surprise success. On Steam, the RPG holds an 83% positive review rate.

Like part 1, the sequel, which will be released on February 4, 2025, for PC and consoles, will focus on Henry, the son of a blacksmith. Both games offer open-world adventures from a first-person perspective, focusing heavily on the story, an authentic simulation of the game world, and the RPG experience.

The KCD series follows an old-school approach, providing relatively little hand-holding while granting many freedoms. You can find out more here: All about the release, price, editions, system requirements, preload, roadmap, and scope of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

Players are looking for a new feature in Season 7 of Diablo 4 – Fans give tips on how to find the altars

Nicole Wakulczyk 29. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Since Season 7 in Diablo 4, there are the witch powers that can enhance your builds. However, to obtain some of these powers, you need to find special altars – which can be frustrating for some players. However, there are also players who seem to have discovered a solution to this problem.

On January 21, 2025, Season 7 began and introduced the new powers of witchcraft, which are the central feature of the season. To learn witchcraft, you gather seasonal reputation by completing tasks for the Whispering Tree.

While you can acquire most powers directly at the circle by the tree, there are also “forgotten powers” that you unlock at special altars. However, these altars are well hidden and can be frustrating for some players.

Start video

Gameplay trailer for Season 7 in Diablo 4, the Season of Witch Power

Autoplay

What are these altars? To acquire the forgotten witch powers, you need forgotten altars. According to Blizzard, they spawn “in random dungeons in Sanctuary” and are said to be hard to find. By using the seasonal elixir “Potion of Whispers,” which you receive as rewards for your circle reputation, you double your chance of stumbling upon an altar. It can be used together with other elixirs and lasts for a whole hour.

Among the “forgotten witch powers” is the unique power “Piranhado.” You can find all powers in Season 7 in our overview.

Why are players despairing? On Reddit, players are joking whether the altars even exist or are a myth, as they have never seen them despite numerous dungeon runs. Various threads are discussing how and where to find them most easily.

The altars are said to spawn especially in one dungeon

This is what players suggest: One player shares a helpful tip on Reddit: Instead of Nightmare dungeons or the Pit, one should rather farm normal dungeons to find the forgotten altars. The dungeon “Decline of the Hoarfrost” in the Shattered Peaks, northeast of Kyovashad, is particularly recommended. According to the player, this works best at Torment level 4 and with an activated “Potion of Whispers” to increase the chance.

In another Reddit post, “Decline of the Hoarfrost” is also recommended as the best option for farming the forgotten altars. The user reports that they found two altars there within 20 minutes. They emphasize that the layout of the dungeon is perfect for speed runs since it is basically a large circle. The altars appeared particularly frequently in the second area of the dungeon. Their tip: To save time, you can simply ignore the tasks and the boss, reset the dungeon, and start again immediately.

Other users in the threads advise that your chances increase if you team up and everyone activates a “Potion of Whispers.” In addition, a dungeon can be explored much faster as a group, ensuring you don’t miss anything.

GTA Online created a scenario 8 years ago in which a confused billionaire wants to destroy the world

Dariusz Müller 29. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In GTA V and GTA Online we encountered various characters in recent years. Some of them are parodies of real personalities, others are entirely fictional. However, in 2017, Rockstar Games introduced a very… special… character into the game.

In December 2017, GTA Online introduced the Doomsday Heist, which is a heist where we players must prevent the end of the world. Our good acquaintance Lester Crest introduced us to Avon Hertz, whom we first meet in a former underground government base.

Avon is presented to us as a tech billionaire who founded his first company at just 22 years old. He is also the developer of the supercomputer Clifford. We are to work together with both from now on.

In a video sequence, Avon explains to us that a danger threatens the United States. Throughout the story, we encounter a former Russian agent named Bogdan, who reveals to us: He is not trying to destroy American democracy but to stop Avon and Clifford. Their goal is to provoke a nuclear war.

Start video

GTA Online – Trailer for the new update Agent of Sabotage

Autoplay

An egocentric billionaire with evil plans

Avon turns out to be the antagonist of the story and pursues a malicious goal: He wants to create a society that meets his ideals. The simple, working citizen must be kept away from the rich and successful. The perfect world is run by private companies. And to create this world, the current society must be eradicated through a nuclear catastrophe.

Avon presents himself as unemotional and very egocentric. He sees himself at the center of world events and feels hurt because the American government did not want to work with him. Moreover, he is very self-absorbed and does not tire of talking about his high intellect.

However, he is also very insecure, stutters when he reaches the limits of his arguments, and uses his success and intellect as an excuse when someone confronts him with logical counterarguments.

The insecurity of the tech billionaire also shows in other areas. For instance, it seemed important to him to tell us that his hair is indeed real while he discusses the alleged threat.

Desperate fans of GTA 6 believe that the next trailer is coming soon because Rockstar Games has an important event

The new graphics card from NVIDIA is so sought after that customers are camping three days before the store opening

Moreover, Avon has a questionable relationship with the artificial intelligence Clifford, who is supposed to call him “Daddy.” He sees himself as the father of the supercomputer, yet never speaks of a human family or loved ones.

In the finale of the Doomsday Heist, Clifford turns against all humans and wants to destroy the entire world with nuclear missiles – Avon is also supposed to die. We ultimately stop Clifford, but in a final attempt, Avon risks his life to escape with the original code of Clifford and save the AI – even though it turned against him and all of humanity.

Let’s summarize again:

Avon is an egocentric tech billionaire who appears very insecure regarding his appearance and intellect.
He struggles to interact with other people and lacks any empathy.
Avon tried to prove his worth to the American government.
He apparently has no family who loves and supports him and sees only a failed society in which he probably has no place.
The only form of emotional closeness he experiences is through a computer.

Perhaps Rockstar Games was once again inspired by a famous person when they created Avon Hertz in 2017. I feel as though the story and personality of the insecure tech billionaire remind me of someone. If only I knew who…

Buyers fear that their new graphics card for €2,000 could set their gaming PC on fire – This is what Nvidia says

Yana 29. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Nvidia’s RTX 5090 is about to launch, but buyers are worried about burning cables. This issue has occurred frequently with the RTX 4000 series, where Nvidia claimed that improperly connected cables were mainly responsible. Now, Nvidia addresses this issue and talks about their solution.

What is the problem? With Nvidia’s RTX 50 series, the worry about an old problem resurfaces. With the introduction of the RTX 40 series, Nvidia adopted a new power connector, the 12VHPWR connector.

There have been numerous reports from the community (via Reddit) stating that their power cables have burned during operation. It was suspected that the new connector was to blame. A burning cable can, in the worst case, lead to a fire. However, according to Nvidia, it was mostly a poorly connected cable that was the issue.

How does Nvidia respond? Nvidia confirmed in the Q&A session at the Editor’s Day 2025 in South Korea that the issue with melting cables should not occur with the RTX 50 series, even though this card has a power consumption that is 125 watts higher.

According to the English magazine Videocards, Nvidia commented on the cable issues of the last generation:

It is expected that such issues will not occur with the RTX 50 series. In response to the previous issue, some changes have been made to the connectors, and after about two years, we believe that these problems have been resolved.

What change is being made? A switch from the 12VHPWR connector to a 12V-2×6 connector is meant to address the problem. The power connections are longer in this case, while the sensor connections are shorter. This ensures that the connection is completely seated before it is powered. This is intended to prevent the connectors from being improperly seated, which could lead to burning. The community has already discussed the change to the GPU cable of the RTX 5090.

Nvidia regularly releases Collector’s Editions alongside the regular series, such as the NVIDIA TITAN Xp in Star Wars design.

How to avoid damaging your cables

Ensure proper connection: Make sure that the cable is fully and correctly plugged into the graphics card’s connector. An incomplete connection can lead to a poor connection and overheating.

Avoid bending excessively: Nvidia and other third-party manufacturers warn against bending power cables and connectors too much. Such bends can cause thermal hotspots that, in the worst case, can lead to melting or burning of the cables.

Route cables properly: Ensure that the cables are not under tension and have enough play to promote airflow and avoid overheating.

Use appropriate cables: Manufacturers point out that the original cables provided should be used. Whenever possible, use high-quality cables that are suitable for the corresponding power consumption. (For example, from Cablemod). The proper length of the cables also plays a role.

Visual aid with cable connectors: Use color-coded cable connectors that make it easier to see if the cable is correctly seated. These connectors have a noticeable color that can assist in installation.

However, there are many other reasons how damage or dangerous fire hazards can occur in your PC. A user on Reddit reported that his sister played so much Fortnite that her Nvidia graphics card caught fire.

Pokémon GO brings 2 Pokémon to the next Community Day – What do they offer?

Max Handwerk 29. January 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The Community Day in February 2025 at Pokémon GO focuses on two Pokémon. They are Schnuthelm and Laukaps – what can they do?

When does the Community Day take place? The Community Day with Schnuthelm and Laukaps will take place on Sunday, February 9, 2025. It starts at 2:00 PM and ends at 5:00 PM.

Which Pokémon? The two Pokémon of the day are Schnuthelm and Laukaps. Both are special Pokémon: If you evolve Schnuthelm into Hydragil or Laukaps into Cavalanzas, you need to use 200 candies. However, you can bypass this if you trade the Pokémon with friends. Because traded Schnuthelm or Laukaps cost no candies to evolve.

The Community Day is perfect for catching both of them. But what can they do? We’ll take a look at that below. But first, let’s briefly summarize the bonuses of the Community Day.

Bonuses of the Community Day: This time there are the following bonuses that you can use during the event.

Increased shiny chance for Schnuthelm and Laukaps
The move Calc Blade for Cavalanzas, when you evolve it
The move Energy Ball for Hydragil after the evolution
- Important: The special move is available for evolutions from the start of the event until February 16 at 10:00 AM. You have almost a week.
3x Catch XP
2x Catch Candies
50% Stardust cost for trading
One additional special trade
Lure modules and incense last for 3 hours during the event
Snapshot surprises
Double chance for XL candies if you are over level 31
Timed research running until February 16, 2025, at 10:00 PM.
- The research will reward you with one of the Pokémon with a special background. Additionally, the shiny chance is increased here.

There will also be matching field researches, showcases, and a paid research available in the shop.

What can Laukaps and Cavalanzas do in Pokémon GO?

Laukaps is this strong: You can safely ignore Laukaps in battles – whether in raids or PvP matches.

Cavalanzas is this strong: Unfortunately, Cavalanzas is also not a particularly good attacker in the PvP of Pokémon GO, even though it is a knight bug with two spears. However, it does have the fast attack Counter, which can be useful as a bug Pokémon to surprise the opponent in the battle league. In raids, it is also negligible.

What do Shiny Laukaps and Shiny Cavalanzas look like? The shiny variants of both Pokémon are quite striking and definitely worth catching:

What can Schnuthelm and Hydragil do in Pokémon GO?

Schnuthelm is this strong: Unfortunately, it is not an option for the battle league; it is too weak. This also applies to raids. Better choose other options from the list of best attackers in Pokémon GO.

Hydragil is this strong: The cool ninja prefers to sneak out of the battle league or raids – because its stats are not good for either.

This is what Shiny Schnuthelm and Shiny Hydragil look like: Like Schnuthelm and Hydragil, they also have striking shiny variants:

Is the Community Day in February 2025 worth it?

If you are only looking for strong fighters, this day is probably not for you. But the shinies are both striking and thus interesting targets for collectors. Additionally, it is a good opportunity to get the evolutions of both monsters, even if you don’t want to trade with anyone. On top of that, as always, there are some bonuses that make the day more interesting. The XP bonus can help with leveling. If the day overall isn’t for you: There are still other events in February 2025 at Pokémon GO.

All games that you can upgrade for free from PS4 to PS5 version

Benedikt Schlotmann 29. January 2025 Reading time 5 minutes

Some games that you can buy for the PS4 offer you a free upgrade to the PS5 version. Which PS4 games receive an upgrade to a PS5 version? MeinMMO presents all the games that you can currently upgrade for free.

What exactly does it bring?

The upgrade to the PS5 allows you to benefit from the performance of the PS5. Loading times are shorter and the games look better. The PS5 loading times are so short that a common feature no longer works.
Some games offer additional content on the PS5 compared to the PS4, such as in-game items or additional DLCs.

After the upgrade, you just need to make sure that you start the correct game version on the PS5. Otherwise, you will continue to play the old PS4 version.

What should you consider when upgrading from PS4 to PS5? In general, you do not necessarily have to upgrade to the better version if you do not want to download a large game.

With an upgrade, you usually still keep the PS4 version. This means you can still play the game on your PS4.

If you played the PS4 version before and are now switching to the PS5 version, you often have to start the games from the beginning, as save files are not always compatible with the PS5.

You can also upgrade PS4 games on disc to a digital PS5 version, but you will still need your PS4 disc. You cannot play these games on a PS5 Digital Edition.

Is the update to the PlayStation 5 version free? Sony leaves it to the developers to decide whether they offer the upgrade for their games for free or for a fee. Some developers only offer the upgrade to the PS5 in a more expensive edition.

PS5: Which console is better, with or without a disc drive?

Update: Our article was first published in August 2022. We updated our list on January 29, 2025, for 2025 and added several games. In total, 31 games have been added.

Last updates: 29.01.25, 15.02.24, 29.08.24

Upgrade PS4 games to PS5 – List of all games that you can upgrade for free

The 5 hardest achievements in World of Warcraft

Cortyn 29. January 2025 Reading time 6 minutes

Which achievements in World of Warcraft have only a few accomplished? We show you 5 of the hardest achievements that hardly anyone manages to obtain.

Achievements, or also known as achievements, are as abundant in World of Warcraft as sand on the beach. Especially on a new account, you will be rewarded with some achievement every few minutes that captures what you have just achieved in the game. However, some of these achievements are quite difficult to obtain. They either require a lot of skill, a great deal of time, or they come with other special challenges.

We have put together a mix of different categories here.

Note: In this article, we only cover achievements that you can still complete now. Locked achievements or feats from previous expansions that can no longer be obtained are not included in this list.

100 Revered Factions

How many accounts have the achievement? Nearly 9% of all accounts have unlocked this achievement.

What kind of achievement is this? The name of the achievement says it all. You must raise at least 100 reputation factions (or honor factions) to revered status. Where the factions come from in terms of expansions does not matter. You are rewarded with a nice mount.

The biggest obstacle for newcomers is likely the monotony. Because if you want to max out old reputation factions, you often have to spend many hours dealing with trivial tasks that can often only be completed once a day. The constant repetition of daily quests can be quite exhausting and may often feel like a waste of time – especially when you could be working on current content instead.

The vast majority only dedicate themselves to this achievement during content droughts between two expansions or major patches. Fortunately, Blizzard has implemented a few new methods over the years to catch up on old factions relatively quickly. For example, you can often buy reputation tokens cheaply from timewalking vendors that offer the equivalent of several quests – at a very low price.

This task becomes easier over time. During the Battle for Azeroth expansion, the achievement could only be completed with a lot of effort – now there are clearly over 100 factions to choose from. Still, it’s quite an impressive accomplishment that most players take months or even years to achieve.

The head of Helldivers 2 is tired of democracy and bug aliens after 11 years

Cedric Holmeier 29. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

In Helldivers 2, the never-ending battle against alien forces rages on. What will soon last a year for players has been weighing on the Chief for much longer.

Who is it about? Johan Pilestedt is the Creative Director of Helldivers 2 and the CCO (Chief Commercial Officer) of Arrowhead Game Studios. Until May 22, 2024, Pilestedt was the CEO of the studio, but he demoted himself after issues arose between the publisher Sony and the community.

Pilestedt is still regarded as the Chief by the community, particularly due to his good communication with players. However, it seems he has had enough now.

In the meantime, there is a new enemy faction in Helldivers 2:

Bye-Bye Helldivers

How is the Chief doing? Johan Pilestedt seems to have had enough of the Helldivers brand. As he explains on X.com, he has been working on the Helldivers brand since 2013. Initially with the first part and since early 2016 on Helldivers 2.

In these 11 years, he has sacrificed many aspects of his private life, including family, friends, and even his wife, for whom he often had little time. He emphasizes that he now wants to take the time to make up for what he has lost. Therefore, the Helldivers Chief will take a sabbatical, which he dedicates to those who have supported him over the years.

What is a sabbatical? A sabbatical, or sabbatical year, is a work-time model in which the employee takes an extended break from work to focus on personal matters. What exactly the employee does during this year is entirely up to them.

What will change after his return? Johan Pilestedt wants to start working on a new game for Arrowhead Game Studios upon his return. This also means a new brand, as it seems Johan Pilestedt has had enough of the bug aliens after 11 years for the time being.

What’s next for Helldivers 2? The development of Helldivers 2 is unlikely to be affected by Johan Pilestedt’s leave. He himself believes that his colleagues at Arrowhead Game Studios will continue to produce good work and deliver updates without him.

Among the previous expansions of the service game are also repeatedly quirky weapons. One of them is even particularly bad, yet it is celebrated by the community: Helldivers 2 releases the worst weapon of all time, but players celebrate it anyway

I have spent 280 hours in a strategy game on Steam: It’s like Game of Thrones in ancient China and is currently only €15 on sale

Ody 29. January 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

Are you looking for a strategy game where you can win epic battles and manipulate your opponents like in Game of Thrones? Then MeinMMO author Ody has a recommendation for you – and it currently costs only 15 € on Steam.

What game are we talking about? We are referring to Total War: Three Kingdoms. The strategy game from Creative Assembly was released in 2019 and combines real-time with turn-based strategy.

Who is writing this? The first video game of MeinMMO author Ody was Age of Empires. Soon after, he received a disc of Rome: Total War as a gift from a friend. Since then, he has played every new installment of the Total War series.

You can see a trailer for the game here:

Total War: Three Kingdoms – The first trailer for the strategy game on Steam

Autoplay

There’s still soup in ancient China

What is the game about? The setting is quickly explained: We find ourselves in ancient China around the year 190 AD. The Chinese Empire of the Han is shaken by a peasant uprising, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and a tyrant takes control of the imperial court.

From the chaos in the country, warlords rise who pursue their own goals: Some exploit the situation for personal gain, others want to save the empire. Still, others have larger ambitions and want to become the new emperor themselves.

In Total War: Three Kingdoms, you are one of these warlords. On the campaign map that encompasses ancient China, you build your cities and economy, ensure the satisfaction of your population, recruit armies, and conquer the lands of your neighbors. The power plays for the imperial throne create some serious GoT fever.

Strong focus on characters and intrigue

What makes the game so special? Total War: Three Kingdoms heavily emphasizes characters. They are not only versatile and fulfill different roles, but also maintain relationships with each other that affect their satisfaction.

If two of your generals or court officials do not get along, it may not be a good idea to let them work together. However, friendships between two characters grant you bonuses. These relationships also change over time, and characters can even leave their old lords in search of new ones.

In expanding your empire, you can rely on pure violence, as is customary in the Total War series. However, it can sometimes be much more exciting to outsmart competitors. Diplomacy and espionage are significantly more extensive in Three Kingdoms compared to Warhammer or Pharaoh:

Characters can be infiltrated as spies into other factions and take on positions that will be helpful to you later
Those who want to be particularly cunning can use Cao Cao to access a variety of plots and instigate proxy wars

Another unique aspect is the two game modes: In the “History” mode, your heroes are powerful lone warriors and can duel other heroes. The “Records” mode offers a classic Total War experience with generals accompanied to battle by a bodyguard. Some more fantastical elements are also removed here.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Everything about release, playtime, tests and what you still need to know

Players on Steam believe: There hasn’t been a new dungeon RPG as good as this in 10 years – Reviews at 98% positive

von Ody

One of the best Total War games at the lowest price

How much does the game cost? Until February 3, you have the opportunity to secure Total War: Three Kingdoms on Steam at the previous lowest price of only 14.99 €. The DLCs mainly add new starting dates, units, and characters. “The Furious Wild” also makes the Nanman, who live in the southern rainforest, playable and brings their own culture as well as war elephants.

After just over 280 hours, I can still recommend the game, even though it doesn’t always run perfectly technically. Personally, I only had minor visual glitches like missing weapon models, but other players have reported crashes as well.

Moreover, the game could have benefited from additional cultures such as Korea, and all the Chinese names can be confusing at the start. However, this hurdle disappears over time, and you get one of the best Total War experiences of recent years – if not of all time.

There is ongoing debate in the community about what makes a good Total War game and what does not. However, while Three Kingdoms is a very popular game apart from its somewhat notorious exit, another title never quite achieved great success – despite deserving it. More on that here: I logged 300 hours in a game on Steam that hardly anyone played, though it belongs to one of the most popular game series

How important is it when buying a graphics card whether I choose AMD or Nvidia?

Benedikt Schlotmann 29. January 2025 Reading time 6 minutes

If you want to get more out of your gaming PC, you might consider buying a new graphics card. But does it even matter whether I ultimately choose AMD or Nvidia? MyMMO presents the similarities and differences between AMD and Nvidia and explains what you should consider before your next graphics card purchase.

If you want to buy a graphics card right now, you inevitably have to turn to AMD or Nvidia. Intel has now also introduced graphics cards for under 200 euros, but here, especially the drivers have been causing problems for some time.

But does it really matter whether I end up choosing a graphics card from Nvidia, AMD, or Intel? MyMMO explains where the similarities and differences lie and what ultimately matters when making a purchase.

AMD vs Nvidia: Where is there more performance?
AMD vs Nvidia 2025: Power consumption and efficiency
AMD or Nvidia 2025: Who offers more features?
AMD vs Nvidia: Price
AMD or Nvidia: Which graphics card should I buy?

[toc]

Note: We first published our guide to FYNG Tech 2022. On January 29, 2025, we released a mini-update for our article and added the test results of the RTX 5090.

Updates: 01/29/2025, 01/21/2025, 02/20/2024, 10/17/2022

Nvidia or AMD Graphics Card: Where is there more performance?

AMD and Nvidia have both introduced new graphics cards at CES 2025:

Nvidia its RTX 5000 series, including RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070.
AMD has at least briefly presented its new RX 9070 to the public.

The GeForce RTX 5090 has replaced the GeForce RTX 4090 as the fastest graphics card in independent tests. Depending on the benchmark, the RTX 5090 is between 20% and 40% ahead of the older RTX 4090. Following that, at a slightly lower level, is AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XTX. AMD’s fastest graphics card is likely to remain the Radeon RX 7900 XTX.

In 4K and raytracing performance, Nvidia is also ahead. Once DLSS comes into play, Nvidia is also slightly better. AMD has now released FSR 3.0 and has convinced several testers in the meantime. The next version, FSR 4.0, is also already in the planning stage.

Who is better? When it comes to overall strong performance, it hardly matters which graphics card you choose:

With an AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, the currently best graphics card under 400 euros, you can play current top games on the PC in high detail at Full HD or WQHD just like with a GeForce RTX 4060.
However, if you want to buy the best overall package in terms of rendering performance and best raytracing, there is currently no way around the RTX 4090 or the slightly cheaper RTX 3090 Ti.
If you want to buy the currently fastest graphics card, then you have to buy the RTX 5090. Here, the entry hurdle is currently very high with a purchase price of around 2400 euros. However, if you already own an RTX 4090, the purchase is hardly worthwhile.

AMD vs Nvidia 2025: Power consumption and efficiency

Until a few years ago, AMD graphics cards were considered power guzzlers, while Nvidia graphics cards were significantly more efficient. But this has already changed with the last generation RX 5000.

The chips from TSMC in 7-nanometer manufacturing, which AMD uses in its current graphics cards and also in the PS5 and Xbox Series X, offer significantly better performance and energy characteristics than Samsung’s 8-nanometer chip that Nvidia uses in its graphics cards. The somewhat better efficiency is also reflected in the following examples:

AMD’s RX 6800 XT has a TDP of 300 watts, Nvidia’s RTX 3080 has a TDP of 320 watts.
The Radeon RX 6900 XT has a TDP of 300 watts, the GeForce RTX 3090 has a TDP of 350 watts.

With the RX 7000 series, AMD has taken a small step back compared to the RTX 4000 series. When it comes to efficiency, Nvidia is again more or less strongly ahead of AMD depending on the graphics card (via computerbase.de).

Who is better? Overall, AMD and Nvidia are now close together in terms of performance and efficiency after years. AMD’s 6900 XT is more efficient than the RTX 3090, but Nvidia’s GPUs are somewhat better in the mid-range.

In the budget range, AMD generally offers the more efficient cards, while Nvidia often significantly outperforms AMD in the high-end (RX 7900 XTX vs RTX 4090/RTX 5090). Nvidia slightly surpasses AMD in terms of performance per watt, but AMD wins in terms of performance per euro. These numbers will not change even with the upcoming release of the RTX 5000 series. Especially in the budget range, there are hardly any viable alternatives to AMD.

CES 2024: AMD presents new graphics card, set to launch in just a few weeks and fulfills a wish for many gamers

AMD or Nvidia 2025: Who offers more features?

In principle, AMD and Nvidia graphics cards offer a very similar range of features. With all graphics cards, you can play games, and both manufacturers support DirectX 12 and other graphics interfaces like OpenGL or Vulkan. Nevertheless, there are a few notable differences.

An important point is Nvidia’s DLSS. With DLSS, the image is calculated at a lower resolution and then upscaled to the set resolution using AI algorithms. This way, you get significantly higher FPS in games, with little to no noticeable loss in quality. AMD now offers FSR 3.0 as a very good alternative. FSR 3.0 works also with Nvidia and Intel graphics cards, but the distribution is not as strong as with DLSS.

With the RTX 4000 series, Nvidia introduced DLSS 3.0, and now DLSS 4.0 is coming with the RTX 5000 series. Annoyingly, some features of DLSS 3.0 are exclusively available for the 4000 series, and the “Multi Frame Generation” feature is even exclusive to the RTX 5000.

Add to that, Nvidia’s GPUs support some special codecs that AMD cannot process. In terms of NVENC, Nvidia still leads with its RTX 4000, but AMD has caught up with the RX 7000 series.

The third point is raytracing. Since the RX 6000 series, AMD also offers raytracing support, but the performance from Nvidia is still clearly better. This difference has not changed significantly with the RTX 4000 and RX 7000.

The fourth point to note is that Nvidia is still leading in the AI field. AMD now also offers AI calculations via the graphics card, but the AI field is clearly the strength of Team Green.

Who is better? Simply put, Nvidia is ahead. Because G-Sync, Reflex, and DLSS are all at least slightly better than the alternatives from AMD. Moreover, Nvidia offers some features exclusively for the RTX 4000 series. For example, you can only use DLSS 3.0 with an RTX 4000.

However, AMD has been gaining ground for months. With FSR 3.0, they offer a very good alternative to DLSS, and with Anti-Lag+, they want to provide competition for Nvidia Reflex. But there have been some issues with Anti-Lag+ with several games:

Steam: AMD had to remove graphics card feature because thousands of players were banned – Here’s how it is supposed to continue

The most successful MMORPG from Germany since Tibia is not only becoming more beautiful but also conquering new platforms

AMD vs Nvidia: Price

When it comes to price, AMD continues to lead. This does not change with the upcoming release of the RTX 5090. Because for many graphics cards, you pay significantly less at AMD for the same performance as at Nvidia. Depending on the performance class, the difference can be between 100 and 500 euros (as of February 2024):

For AMD’s RX 7900 XTX, you currently pay just under 1,000 euros. For Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4090, you pay with at least 1,789 euros over 700 euros more.
For the RX 7800 XT, you pay around 500 euros, while for the RTX 4070, you easily pay 650 euros if you find a good deal.

For the RTX 4000 and RX 7000, therefore, the same picture emerges as with the last generation: AMD’s graphics cards are always below Nvidia’s graphics card prices.

Who is better? For comparable or similar performance, you generally pay less with AMD. This has not really changed with the release of the RTX 4090 so far. And it hasn’t changed with the release of the new RX 7000 cards either. While AMD currently offers no graphics card over 1,000 euros (the RX 7900 XTX is priced at around 950 euros), Nvidia has two graphics cards (RTX 4080 and RTX 4090) above that price point.

AMD or Nvidia: Which graphics card should I buy?

If you are switching from an old, popular graphics card like the GTX 1060 or RX 580 to a Radeon RX 7000, GeForce RTX 4000, or even an RTX 5000, then you will immediately feel the difference. At this point, it doesn’t really matter whether you buy AMD or Nvidia: You will notice the significant performance jump with any new card.

With both an AMD and an Nvidia GPU from the upper price segment, you can easily play games in 4K resolution.

Currently, Nvidia has the larger feature catalog and offers better raytracing, DLSS, and Nvidia Reflex, but you also pay significantly more for the hardware. With AMD, you pay at least 100 euros less for the same performance. Some features like DLSS 3.0 are also offered exclusively by Nvidia with the RTX 4000 series. The same applies to the release of DLSS 4.0 and RTX 5000.

However, it should be noted that AMD has been technologically catching up strongly for months and now trails Nvidia by only a small margin in many features and is sometimes almost on par.

Which graphics card should I buy? If raytracing and DLSS are not a big deal for you, then AMD is the better choice. Because here you pay less money for the same performance. However, if you want the best possible image quality and all features, then you should opt for Nvidia.

New MMORPG Aims to Improve After Crash Landing on Steam

Cedric Holmeier 29. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG The Quinfall launched disastrously on Steam last weekend. The developers want to make everything better after the crash landing.

What kind of MMORPG is it? The Quinfall is a traditional medieval MMORPG from the studio Vawraek Technology Inc., founded in 2021. The MMORPG resembles genre giants like Black Desert Online or Metin2 and relies on an open world with many monsters to grind.

On January 24, 2025, the MMORPG will launch on Steam and immediately faced a crash landing. Many gamers felt disappointed.

This is what the cities and villages of The Quinfall are supposed to look like:

Autoplay

Poor start for The Quinfall

How did the launch go? Instead of providing a “completely new MMORPG experience” as described on their own Steam page and surprising players with a “hyper-realistic world with advanced graphics and state-of-the-art systems”, most gamers only saw the start screen.

Many adventurers waited for hours for an available spot on the servers, until they ultimately gave up. Those lucky enough to make it onto the servers were still likely disappointed. Complaints about an empty open world, average graphics, and game crashes in various places are piling up in the Steam reviews.

The problems are also reflected in the average rating on Steam. Of about 2,200 reviews, only 31% are positive. More than two-thirds of players were disappointed with the MMORPG. However, the developers do not want to take this lying down and are now coming forward with a plan.

What does the developers’ plan look like? The responsible parties have now released a statement along with a plan for improving their MMORPG on Steam. To reduce waiting times for gamers, the developers have also launched new servers. This is intended to distribute the influx. Each region will receive its own new server.

In their statement, the responsible parties also explain that they have been victims of a large-scale DDoS attack. This is also the reason why there were so many server problems at launch. The team is working with a reputed cybersecurity firm, which is not named, trying to fend off the attacks.

What is a DDoS attack? A DDoS attack (Distributed Denial of Service) is a targeted overload of a server, where a large number of simultaneous requests are sent. This causes the server to reach its capacity limits and cannot process legitimate requests anymore.

The developers also apologize for the outages and list four points in which they want to improve the MMORPG:

First, the server problems are to be solved so all players can play The Quinfall; new servers will be launched and the capacity of existing servers increased.
In the second step, the problem of DDoS attacks will be solved in cooperation with the cybersecurity firm.
Furthermore, the development team wants to communicate more often and transparently with players and provide regular updates on progress.
Once all problems are resolved, players should receive gifts as compensation.

Despite the crash landing, The Quinfall’s ratings are steadily recovering. In our article about the MMORPG from January 25, the game only had a 22% positive rating. So nearly 10 points have been recovered. While the game is still not polished in many areas, one thing seems to be working quite well: the real-money shop: As bad as The Quinfall is at launch, the biggest audacity of the MMORPG lies elsewhere

What is DeepSeek? Everything you need to know about the rival of ChatGPT

Benedikt Schlotmann 29. January 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The AI DeepSeek is causing a stir among AI companies. Because the AI is not only faster but also significantly more efficient. But what exactly is DeepSeek and which company is behind it?

[toc]

The company DeepSeek has made quite a splash with its namesake AI: The AI is efficient, inexpensive, and requires significantly less computing power than other AI models like ChatGPT.

MeinMMO presents all the important information about DeepSeek and explains who is behind it.

DeepSeek: Which company is behind it?

Update: The article was first published on January 28, 2025. On January 29, we supplemented the article with new content (DeepSeek vs ChatGPT) and a table of contents.

Last updates: 29.01.25, 28.01.25

DeepSeek: Which company is behind it?

Who is behind DeepSeek? DeepSeek is the name of the Chinese start-up that developed the LLMs DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1. The abbreviation LLM stands for large language model and is a type of AI program that can recognize and generate text among other tasks.

The company was founded in May 2023 by Liang Wenfeng, an influential figure in the hedge fund and AI industry.

What is DeepSeek? The current LLM models of the company are DeepSeek-V3 and DeepSeek-R1.

Both demonstrate impressive benchmarks compared to their competitors but consume significantly less resources due to the manner in which the LLMs were created. DeepSeek-V3 is a general-purpose model, while DeepSeek-R1 focuses on reasoning tasks.

Using DeepSeek in German

Can DeepSeek understand German? Yes, you can ask DeepSeek questions (prompts) in German and the chatbot usually answers in German as well. There are sometimes English sentences mixed in among the German responses. The tool “DeepSeek Coder” for code generation is currently only available in English and Chinese.

DeepSeek: Prices and costs are significantly lower than ChatGPT

How much does DeepSeek cost? The DeepSeek chatbot is initially free. You can use the chatbot entirely without cost after a simple registration.

However, if you want to use DeepSeek professionally or connect an app with the DeepSeek API, costs will be incurred. These costs are significantly lower compared to ChatGPT:

Currently, it costs only $0.55 per million input tokens and $2.19 per million output tokens. This is very inexpensive compared to OpenAI’s API, which currently costs $15 or $60.

DeepSeek: Data protection and content concerns

What could be a problem? Some experts have already voiced their concerns regarding data protection when using DeepSeek. Because some fear that the collected data could fall into the hands of the Chinese state, as DeepSeek is a Chinese company. A similar discussion is currently being held around the platform TikTok.

Are there blocked contents? Chinese platforms and software are generally known to block certain content regarding political events, such as the Tiananmen massacre. Some users report on Reddit.com that there are no answers to certain questions or that the AI is supposed to crash.

DeepSeek vs ChatGPT: What do the chatbots offer in comparison?

DeepSeek and ChatGPT are both powerful AI tools, but they cover different needs (via geeksforgeeks.com):

DeepSeek is a more specialized tool known for its fast, cost-effective, and technical capabilities. If you’re looking for a technical, mathematical solution, then DeepSeek is the winner.
ChatGPT is an all-rounder, known for its user-friendliness, versatility, and creativity. Here, you are presented with a broader range of options if you want to try things out.
DeepSeek is a good choice when it comes to solving problems quickly and efficiently.
ChatGPT, on the other hand, is versatile and is better suited for developing general content or engaging in conversations.

When it comes to the accuracy of answers, it always depends on the topic which chatbot provides better answers: In mathematical and coding problems, DeepSeek is somewhat more accurate, while for general questions, the answers from ChatGPT are better. It is also important to note: ChatGPT can process images and text, while DeepSeek can only process text.

Are DeepSeek and ChatGPT free? Yes, you can try both tools at no cost and play around with them. However, both chatbots also offer a paid option with more possibilities.

Pokémon TCG Pocket: Trading Explained – All the Rules and Currencies You Need to Consider

Jasmin Beverungen 29. January 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

The trading in Pokémon TCG Pocket is finally available. MeinMMO tells you what you need to know about the currencies and rules.

Update from January 29, 2025, at 11:50 AM: The number of trading tokens has been increased.

Why should you trade? With trading, collectors can complete their collection of cards by giving away cards they have duplicates of. For example, you can get cards that you need for your deck and for which you have not yet gathered the required number of Pack Points.

When can you trade? The trading feature has been available since January 29, 2025.

All rules for trading in Pokémon TCG Pocket at a glance

What are the rules? The trading feature is now available in Pokémon TCG Pocket. The following rules apply to the cards you want to trade:

The trade can only happen between friends. If you have a list with only a few friends, your trading options are severely limited.
Trades can only occur between cards of the same rarity. This means that, for example, 1-star cards can only be traded for 1-star cards.
If your card has flair, it can only be traded for another card with flair. The original cost of the flair does not matter.
The cards retain the language they had before the trade after trading.
At the release of the trading feature, only cards from Unbeatable Genes and Mysterious Island will be tradable. Thus, promo cards should be excluded.
Only cards with a rarity of 1-4 ♢ and 1 ☆ can be traded. All 2 ☆ stars and the currently highest 🜲 rarity level are excluded from trading.
You need trading tokens and trading endurance to trade.

These currencies are needed for trading

What do you need to trade? In order to perform a trade, you need trading endurance and trading tokens. The required number of trading tokens increases with the rarity level of the cards you want to trade.

You need the following number of trading tokens for the following rarities:

♢ – 0 trading tokens
♢♢ – 0 trading tokens
♢♢♢ – 120 trading tokens
♢♢♢♢ – 500 trading tokens
☆ – 400 trading tokens

To obtain trading tokens, you must participate in events or exchange Pokémon cards that you have duplicates of for tokens. You can do this through the menu My Cards. Click on the card you have duplicates of, go to Receive Items and select the tokens. Note that you can only exchange duplicate cards starting from a rarity of ♢♢♢ for trading tokens.

You receive the following number of trading tokens per exchanged card:

♢♢♢ – 25 trading tokens
♢♢♢♢ – 125 trading tokens
☆ – 100 trading tokens

The trading endurance, as you may know from Wonder Trade endurance, has a maximum of 5 and fills up over time. You need one endurance per trade.

Additionally, with the release of the trading feature, a new type of hourglass was introduced: the trading hourglass. These are also used, similar to Wonder Trade, to restore trading endurance.

Trading feature restricts many collectors

What is the problem? With the strict rules, it is impossible for many players to obtain all cards and complete their collection. The cards with the highest rarity that cannot be traded have the lowest chance of being drawn from a pack. Consequently, not all collectors may have the coveted cards yet.

Furthermore, promo cards cannot be traded. These are special cards distributed through events or the premium pass. They have no rarity level and cannot be drawn from boosters.

Those who do not want to invest money in Pokémon TCG Pocket, started playing later, or missed an event cannot collect all cards.

von Paul Kutzner

This becomes especially problematic when you already have duplicate cards but cannot trade them for gaps in your own collection.

The Pokémon Company has made it clear that the feature is intended to be expanded over time. Perhaps rarer cards will be allowed for trade after a few weeks. However, this remains to be seen.

The required trading tokens are also perceived as too expensive. The cards that can be traded must now be exchanged for tokens and only provide a fraction of the required costs.

Papaplatte gets eliminated from game in Pro7 show because he thinks the Brandenburg Gate is 165 m high

Johanna 29. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller was part of the Pro7 show “Das Duell um die Geld” and was tested on his general knowledge. When asked about the height of the Brandenburg Gate, the 28-year-old did not perform very well, even though he was so sure of himself.

Which show is it about? It is about the ProSieben show “Das Duell um die Geld”, a show by and featuring Joko and Klaas, which is named after their show “Das Duell um die Welt”. In a large circle, various public figures sit at a table and “gamble” on estimation questions.

This year’s edition features Sophie Passmann, Steven Gätjen and the Twitch streamer Papaplatte, among others. The whole thing is moderated by Oliver Kalkofe.

We introduce you to Papaplatte in our video:

“I can’t justify that”

Why does Papaplatte get eliminated? At the beginning of the round, the question is asked how high the highest wave ever surfed was. Papaplatte writes down 167 m. To help the contestants estimate how close they are to the solution, two clues are given. The first clue is that the Brandenburg Gate is only two meters shorter than the wave.

Joko and Klaas voluntarily drop out of this round, but Papaplatte is more confident than ever that he has chosen the right answer. Without thinking much, he goes all in and bets all of his 500 euros. Only he and Steven Gätjen remain in the round.

The correct answer is revealed: it is 28.57 m, and the Brandenburg Gate is 26 m tall.

Then the estimates of Steven Gätjen and the Twitch streamer are shown. Steven Gätjen is very close with 27.53 m.

Before Papaplatte reveals his answer, he says: “No, there is no justification for that. I can’t justify it.” He shows his answer, and amid applause, he joins the also eliminated Sophie Passmann at the bar to watch.

The new episode of Destiny 2 brings you back to the spaceship where you had so much fun 10 years ago like never again afterwards

Christos Tsogos 29. January 2025 Reading time 4 minutes

Destiny 2 has announced its new episode: Heresy in the livestream. You can expect a sentimental journey of nostalgia, cool weapons, and the conclusion of the episodes.

What are the key updates from the stream? On January 28, 2025, Bungie held the first stream for the episode: Heresy. This will continue and then conclude the last chapter of the Echoes. In addition to the theme, content was also presented. Here are the most important details:

Return to the Dreadnaught in the form of a seasonal activity
Oryx returns (whether as an enemy or NPC is unclear)
New armor sets for Trials of Osiris, seasonal, and more
A new weapon set for the season
Weapon blueprints for weapons from the “Vault of Glass” raid are expected to appear
Two new exotic weapons
- The SMG “Barrow-Dyad”
- The fusion rifle “Lodestar”
A new Arc aspect for Warlock and Titan, as well as a Void aspect for the Hunter
Fans will be able to wield the power of the Taken for the season to win battles
Collaboration with Star Wars and Destiny 2

Especially the return of the Dreadnaught and of Oryx could interest a large part of the community.

Destiny 1: The Taken King was one of the most popular DLCs in the entire Destiny history and veterans spent hours on patrol there to complete quests and enjoy the atmosphere. However, on February 4, the new episode will officially be released.

The Dreadnaught and an old enemy returns

What can you expect on the Dreadnaught? The Dreadnaught has changed after all these years in orbit around Saturn. Since the ship is organic, it is slowly falling apart like a ruin. However, you need to return there for the story, as one of the Taken has managed to grab the last Echo of the Traveler and is plotting something evil.

Bungie is not bringing back the patrol zone to let you complete quests. Instead, you will gain access to the Dreadnaught through the new seasonal activity “The Nether”. This will allow you to travel through new and old areas of the ship to sabotage the Taken.

Oryx is also expected to return in some form – how exactly is still unclear. It is possible that the Echo was able to bring back his soul. What role Oryx plays in the story is also questionable, but we assume that the Hive God will be an NPC. His revival goes against the sword logic of the Hive, so Oryx likely won’t be pleased about it.

Bungie has also changed how you can experience the story. You will not need to travel back to the H.E.L.M.’s holo-projector to experience the story dialogues. The developers have worked to provide an immersive storytelling experience.

Fans will likely receive messages from Sloane, Eris, or the Vagabond via holograms that the Ghost can project during a mission.

Cool weapons and exotics

What weapons will there be? As for weapons, fans have plenty to grind for. A new set suitable for the seasonal theme is expected with new perks. Unfortunately, these cannot be crafted. There will also be two exotics.

The following are known:

Adamantite (Legendary)
- Strange auto rifle with support frame to heal allies
Psychopomp (Legendary)
- An Arc grenade launcher that can leave electrical puddles
Barrow-Dyad (Exotic)
- Strange SMG that regenerates ammo on its own and produces decay
Lodestar (Exotic)
- Arc fusion rifle with primary ammo and a secondary fire mode that can deal a lot of damage and scare enemies. Fires like a pulse rifle.

Additionally, there are expected to be weapons to craft, especially the guns from the “Vault of Glass” raid. If you are still missing a god roll, you can farm quite a bit here.

All new weapons stand out, and not just because of their appearance. Bungie has designed the weapons to be powerful and offer strong build options for fans to experiment with. It remains to be seen what ideas the community will come up with.

Expect that Bungie will release more weapons from the new set with each act release of the episode. A machine gun was also spotted that does not seem to be releasing with Heresy.

The end of the episodes

Lastly, this is the final episode. Afterwards, the project “Frontiers” will be launched, which is supposed to turn everything upside down. In Frontiers, Destiny 2 will experiment with new themes, the freedom to choose how you want to experience the story, the start of a new narrative away from light and dark, and possibly new destinations to explore.

So far, Bungie has revealed few details about Frontiers, but as we progress through the year 2025, Bungie will break its silence and share more, so stay tuned.

Ubisoft finds new ways to disappoint the loyal fans of The Division 2 – They are fed up

Dariusz Müller 29. January 2025 Reading time 2 minutes

Ubisoft has once again disappointed the loyal fans of The Division 2 with a new announcement. They are now expressing their frustration.

How has Ubisoft disappointed the fans? Ubisoft announced on January 28, 2025, that the release of the next major expansion has been delayed again.

The team decided to take additional time to further refine the DLC to provide the best possible gaming experience.
Ubisoft did not announce a release date for the expansion. However, the developers indicated that the DLC will not be released during Year 6, which started in July 2024.

The expansion was already announced in April 2023 during the Division Day and was originally supposed to be released during the 5th year. In addition to a narrative continuation of the story, the DLC is also expected to offer new zones, main operations, and endgame structures.

The renewed delay frustrates the loyal fans of the loot shooter, who have now been waiting almost 2 years for the new expansion since its announcement in 2023.

Players Doubt Whether the DLC Really Exists

What are the players saying? They are disappointed and angry. The Reddit user “Barrtek” expresses outrage at the renewed delays (via Reddit) and “theoutsider95” thinks that Ubisoft should move on to The Division 3 at this point.

Some fans are also upset that Ubisoft has invested resources in games like the ending XDefiant and the financially disappointing Star Wars: Outlaws instead of working on new Division games. One user rants:

“I hate that they basically scrapped completely finished games from the Division series to instead promote other random crap that hasn’t worked. Heartland, the mobile game, I played the beta for both and they felt finished, where did they go? They were scrapped for XDefiant and God knows what else.” – (via Reddit)

Another user fears that the DLC could negatively impact the development of The Division 3: “They should never have wasted time on the DLC […]. I’m worried that this harms TD3 and the future of the franchise at this point.”

Some comments also question the existence of the DLC. And if it does exist, players believe that the release will certainly be delayed again and pushed back to at least 2026 or Year 8.

Sales figures for Star Wars Outlaws were not high enough
XDefiant did not become the successful service game that was hoped for, to be played over many years

Lastly, the closure of the studio in Leamington and the layoffs of 185 employees were also announced (via Eurogamer)

The future of Ubisoft currently seems very uncertain. Experts believe that a sale of the company could be on the horizon if the downward trend cannot be stopped. Alternatively, Ubisoft could divest IPs to prevent a sale. Industry insider Jason Schreier believes anyway: Ubisoft has only one chance in 2025 – and next month could determine the future of the company

Path of Exile 2 is driving away its new players due to a missing feature

Cedric Holmeier 29. January 2025 Reading time 3 minutes

In Path of Exile 2, new players have had enough. They are annoyed by the developers’ attitude towards trading.

What feature is being discussed? The new players, who were drawn to Path of Exile 2 as a successor to the popular ARPG brand, are disappointed with the developers. The reason for this is the absence of a trading and auction house system in Path of Exile 2.

While new players were initially overwhelmed by the conservative “That’s how it’s always been” faction, it now seems that the moment has come when the mood is boiling over.

Players have had enough

What is the situation in the community? The mood among new players is poor. The majority of gamers are already in the endgame and can only improve their character through trading on the external website of Path of Exile 2. Many gamers find this extremely irritating because this method takes a long time and involves many risks.

Moreover, players feel that the grind for currency items is not worth it. They would prefer to manage upgrades for their character independently, for example, through a crafting system (via Reddit).

Especially among new gamers, it seems that a tipping point has now been reached, as posts with many upvotes regarding the trading topic appear almost daily in the Reddit forum of the ARPG. The tone is always similar:

The current trading system via an external website is cumbersome.
There are many scammers trying to steal items from new players.
Bots dominate the system and constantly scan the market to snatch items at the best prices.
There is no alternative to trading after a certain point in the game.
A crafting system to improve one’s character is missing.
An auction house could solve many problems at once.

This opinion also appears repeatedly in the MeinMMO comments:

Kiky writes there: “An auction house in such a complex game is a must. No ifs or buts. I have stopped for now and will let GGG [editor’s note: the developers of PoE2] improve the game in peace. LE as an indie studio managed to do it, and the two big players are as stubborn as little children.”
Kozrek knows the trading issue: “I have tried to trade items multiple times. To get a specific unique helmet, I had to message over 30–40 people before finally getting a response. Every time, the item had just been listed a maximum of 5 minutes ago and the seller was online. It’s a joke to message people for hours; in that time, one could have leveled up significantly…”
For Pinklady, it’s enough: “No auction house = No PoE 2. Plain and simple.”
