Monster Hunter Wilds frees PC gamers a year after release from their torment: “Time to update my negative review”

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 3 minutes

Monster Hunter Wilds has received a new patch that apparently improves performance on PC significantly. The community is clearly pleased to finally be able to play the title smoothly about a year after its release.

What kind of patch is this? Many players have had performance issues with the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds. Capcom recently announced a patch that is supposed to address this issue – it was released on January 28, 2026. Previously, a curious bug circulated that improved performance the more DLCs one owned.

The new update, which takes up about 2 GB of storage space (with optional high-resolution textures it’s 31 GB), comes with a number of performance improvements. Among other things, the CPU/CPU processes of the Steam version have been improved, new graphic options added, and a CPU tab integrated that affects the computational load.

The patch also fixes individual errors and bugs. You can read the exact patch notes on the Steam page for the game.

For the community, the update is an important step, as many players can finally truly enjoy Monster Hunter Wilds – one year after release.

“They did it!”

What is the mood in the community? The patch has already been extensively tested, and the first reactions from players are predominantly positive.

The improved performance has, according to X user Tsuki a significant impact on gameplay enjoyment:

Once I got it running, this game runs smoothly. It’s impressive how much more fun this game can be when it actually runs with decent graphics. My graphics are set to “High” and for the first time ever, it was a constant 60 to 70 frames per second during the entire hunt!

YOU DID IT!

This euphoric assessment is echoed by other players on x.com:

  • “Performance has overall improved significantly. Before the patch, I could only play with high graphics quality (+ high-resolution textures) and Frame Gen, and even then there were severe stutters during larger fights or interactions and smaller stutters during normal gameplay,” says Cain.
  • “I play Wilds on a laptop that has trouble with newer releases. This update really works wonders. I still have to use Frame Gen, but even with that I never had a constant 60 FPS before, honestly just about 40 FPS. The game still looks good and runs better than before,” adds Rick.
  • “I can confirm that it runs much smoother, so I no longer need frame generation on a mid-range laptop GPU,” reports Aliferous.

The fact that the gaming experience is now significantly more enjoyable prompts user ResponsibleRub469 on Reddit to come to a clear conclusion: “It’s finally time to update my negative review!” Reviews on Steam were recently sitting at just 55% positive (Mixed) compared to an overall rating of 75% (Mostly Positive) since release.

The fact that PC players had to wait almost a year for the game to finally run properly also brings about ridicule. On January 28, 2026, Junjou Laina writes on x.com: “I want to congratulate Capcom for finally releasing Monster Hunter Wilds for PC!”

Is there also criticism? Alongside much praise, there are also critical voices mixing into the discussion. X user L33Dz finds the congratulations exaggerated and criticizes the still blurry presentation. And some users still seem to be experiencing frame rate drops.

Overall, however, the mood regarding PC performance has become significantly more positive. Have you already tried the patch and noticed an improvement in performance? Please share your experiences with us in the comments. Before Capcom intervened, the community felt compelled to: Since Capcom can’t get the performance of Monster Hunter Wilds under control, a player threatens to solve the problem themselves

Female Capcom employees scrutinized Leon in the new Resident Evil so closely that even his wrinkles looked perfect

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

In the new Resident Evil Requiem, players will once again encounter a familiar face. Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil 2 has aged a bit over time, which is why the team had to take care of a new design for the beloved character. The developers were particularly strict in this regard.

What was important to the team regarding Leon’s appearance? In an interview with Automaton, the Director of Resident Evil Requiem, Koshi Nakanishi, and Producer Masato Kumazawa discuss how Leon’s new look came to be. 

The team wanted to transform Leon into what is known as an “Ikeoji,” a cool and attractive older man, as Nakanishi explains: “Throughout the entire development process, Leon was meticulously refined, and I believe we succeeded in developing a design that makes everyone’s hearts race.”

And to ensure this reaction, the team reportedly worked very hard, according to the two leaders.

Here you can see the trailer for Resident Evil Requiem, which will be released in February 2026:

How did Leon become the “Ikeoji” he was meant to be? Leon has a lot of fans at Capcom, which is why his appearance was checked and reviewed multiple times. Especially the female developers were very strict in their criticism. According to Nakanishi, they pointed out the smallest details until everything was truly perfect, even commenting on the wrinkles on Leon’s neck.

When the Director told this story, a female fan informed him that the female developers at Capcom had really done a great job.

What else is particularly important about Leon’s portrayal besides his appearance? The two developers do not only talk about Leon’s visual attractiveness. His character has also matured over time.

“Leon is not just good-looking but also has a cool personality,” emphasizes Nakanishi in the interview with Automaton, “He is someone who selflessly sacrifices his life to save others, but he is not arrogant and has a passionate inner self.”

And to further highlight Leon’s age in the game, the Director adds: “I hope you are looking forward to the dry humor and subtle sarcasm that only an older man can provide.”

Cyberpunk 2077 forgoes stylish cutscenes, and the reason is the great strength of the game

Caroline Fuller Caroline Fuller Reading time 2 minutes

A lead developer and Creative Director of Cyberpunk 2077 revealed with a statement the abandonment of cinematic scenes in the sequel, tentatively called “Project Orion.” However, it is not because the developers do not find it appealing. They simply want to continue relying on their greatest strength.

What did the Creative Director explain? Creative Director Igor Sarzynski presented with a post on Bluesky a few older screenshots that the lead took during his playtime in Phantom Liberty. In the DLC, he was himself the Narrative Director and consequently responsible for the vision and processing of the story.

Igor Sarzynski’s post on Bluesky

Sarzynski reminisces and admits that “it would be really nice to incorporate cutscenes into the game, as everything simply looks so stunning.” However, what initially sounds like a potential confirmation of a cutscene update in Cyberpunk 2077 or establishment in the sequel is already contradicted by the next sentence. Because “ultimately, I simply value our uninterrupted immersion more.”

Start video

Cyberpunk focuses on immersion instead of heavy cinematic scenes

What does this mean for the future of Cyberpunk? It is not the first time that the Cyberpunk team has denied any plans for third-person cutscenes. Already in 2025, the official X account of Cyberpunk 2077 underscored this with a short but clear “Sorry, we have no such plans.”

Also, Quest Director Pawl Sasko commented in 2023 on the decision of a first-person experience: “The first-person perspective is the main feature of Cyberpunk, as well as its perception through the player. It also clearly distinguishes it from The Witcher.” (Source: TheGamer)

Of course, changes in decisions can occur during the development of Project Orion. So far, there has been no official confirmation or denial. However, based on the Creative Director’s post, it is evident that the team continues to value immersion very highly. Holding onto their strengths is certainly not a wrong approach, and the community agrees.

What does the community say about the post? Under the post on Bluesky, there are few disappointed players regarding this, but rather more fans who love the immersion in Cyberpunk 2077. 

“The storytelling from the first-person perspective in Cyberpunk is incredible,” writes @belmontttttt on Bluesky, “You have pushed many boundaries in this area.”

But even to other users who find the lack of a third-person perspective unfortunate, the Creative Director has a response. This simple “decision” concerning narrative, scene design, and direction would increase the scope by 75%, which according to Sarzynski (on Bluesky) is not feasible.

The creators of Stranger Things send a wedding couple through 7 days of horror in a new series

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

Stranger Things has just concluded, but the next project from the showrunners of the long-running Netflix-series is already in the pipeline. It will be even darker than the nostalgic 80s homage.

In December 2025, the finale of Stranger Things flickered across home screens, marking the end of a series that started in 2016 and ended after nearly 10 years following five seasons. The two showrunners, Matt and Ross Duffer, finally have time for other projects, and it seems they are already utilizing it.

As Netflix has now announced, a new horror series is set to premiere in March, with the two brothers serving as executive producers. This means they are stepping away from the showrunner role, and Haley Z. Boston will take over, who is also responsible for the story.

The connection to Stranger Things is still palpable, as the genres seem to be somewhat similar – even if the story revolves around a very adult theme rather than children.

Unfortunately, there is still no trailer for the new series; instead, you can watch the one from the finale of Stranger Things:

Start video

Atmospheric Horror for the Wedding

What kind of series is this? The title already promises something sinister: Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen. It tells the story of the couple Rachel and Nicky, who are followed over several days during their wedding preparations – up until their wedding ceremony. Each episode is supposed to cover one day, with things getting progressively worse.

Netflix has not revealed exactly what will happen, but the streaming service is already drawing comparisons on the official website to horror classics such as Carrie and Rosemary’s Baby. According to showrunner Haley Z. Boston, it will focus on the fear of marrying the wrong person. The series intends to explore the idea of soulmates – in a rather dark manner.

Netflix clearly states that it’s a horror genre. However, those expecting shock effects might be disappointed. Instead, the production aims to impress with a disturbing atmosphere that “gets under your skin.” Viewers can expect more of an atmospheric horror that is very character-driven.

I love exploring characters. I think that sometimes that is missing in the horror genre. My natural approach is to start from the characters, dialogues, and the humor, and then mix that with disturbing horror… I think to myself: “I want to be disturbed. I want to be scared.”

Haley Z. Boston (Source: Netflix)

Boston already has experience in the horror genre, having written scripts for the series Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix.

When does the series premiere? Horror fans can rejoice as Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen will premiere on March 26, 2026. All eight episodes will be released simultaneously. How much of an influence the Duffer brothers and their series Stranger Things will be noticeable is something we can determine by the release date at the latest. There will also be a spin-off in 2026: With the spin-off of Stranger Things, Netflix is taking a risk, as one character could potentially disrupt the story

Ultros | PS5, PS4

Ultros is a 2D action-adventure with Metroidvania structure and a strong focus on exploration. The game takes place in a surreal, alien world that is trapped in a time loop.

Fights are fast-paced and demanding, with timing and learning about enemies being crucial. A gardening system plays a special role, allowing you to permanently alter the game world. Visually, Ultros stands out with its very distinctive, psychedelic art style.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown | PS4

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is an action-packed flight game that combines arcade gameplay with realistic aircraft mechanics. You take on the role of a fighter pilot in a fictional military conflict world.

The focus is on fast aerial combat, spectacular missions, and cinematic presentation. You fly modern combat jets that can be extensively upgraded. The story is told through cutscenes and places great emphasis on drama and atmosphere.

Warframe: Farming Neural Sensors – How to best collect the rare resource

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 4 minutes

Neural Sensors are needed in Warframe for all sorts of things. But how do you farm them best? MeinMMO will show you.

What are Neural Sensors and what do you need them for? Neural Sensors are a resource in Warframe that you need in mid and endgame for various purposes, such as crafting some Warframes, weapons, or Archwing parts.

We will show you how and where to farm Neural Sensors most effectively throughout the article.

[toc]

All ways to obtain Neural Sensors in Warframe

How do you get Neural Sensors? There are basically 4 ways to acquire Neural Sensors:

  1. You can actively farm them.
  2. You can buy them in the shop.
  3. You can craft them via the blueprint.
  4. You can passively farm them.

Before we get to the actual farming methods, we will give you a few useful tips for farming.

Start video
Warframe zeigt neuen Trailer mit Werner Herzog in der Hauptrolle

Farming Neural Sensors – The best way to the rare resource

This is how you farm Neural Sensors best: There are various missions that you can replay to effectively farm Neural Sensors. In this guide, we focus on 2 missions on the planet Jupiter.

Bonus tips for better farming

  1. Activate a Resource Booster for the best possible output so that you get double the amount of a resource you pick up, and also a Resource Drop Chance Booster that doubles the drop chance.
  2. Equip the mod “Resourceful Retriever” on one of your pets (only beasts). This mod gives you an 18% chance to pick up double the amount of resources.
  3. If you want to focus not on speed but on the maximum number of Neural Sensors per run, you can use Warframes like Nekros and Khora. Here you have a chance to receive additional drops per enemy. Khora is especially worthwhile in survival missions.
  4. If you are far enough in the game to activate “The Steel Path”, you can increase the difficulty of the nodes on the star map and thus get higher chances for resources and mods. The Steel Path is essentially the “New Game+” of Warframe.
Important to note: It is not guaranteed that you will get the best possible number of drops in the individual missions – there are only drop chances and no guaranteed drops. If you are unlucky, you may only get 1-2 Neural Sensors per run.

Mission 1: Thermisto (Jupiter)

One of the best methods to farm Neural Sensors is the assassination mission “Thermisto” on the planet Jupiter. Here you can get up to 5-8 Neural Sensors per run, with the mini-boss “Alad V” at the end of the mission having an increased drop chance.

The mission is particularly worthwhile for fast farming runs, as a run with Warframes like Titania, Gauss, Volt, or Xaku only takes a few minutes.

However, there are two ways to play the mission:

  1. You can rush to the boss fight without detours or fights and defeat Alad V as quickly as possible. In doing so, you hope for the mini-boss’s increased drop chance. Ideally, a run takes less than 2 minutes, but you usually only get one Neural Sensor.
    • If you have followed our farming tips above, with a bit of luck you can get up to 4 (!) Neural Sensors per run.
  2. You take a bit more time, open containers on the way to the boss, and take down a few mobs to ideally get 5-8 Neural Sensors.
Warframe Jupiter Screenshot
Warframe Themisto Screenshot

Mission 2: Cameria (Jupiter)

An alternative is the survival mission “Cameria,” which you also play on the planet Jupiter. In survival missions, you need to defend against endless waves of enemies and try to survive as long as possible – and in the meantime farm a lot of Neural Sensors.

Here, of course, it also depends on your drop luck, but you can collect 15-20 Neural Sensors in 10 minutes if you follow our farming tips. Pay particular attention to tip 3 and ideally play as Khora, as you can get the most loot with a good build here.

Passively Farming Neural Sensors – Here’s how

This is how you farm the resource passively: You can passively farm resources such as Neural Sensors. For this, you need resource drones known as Extractors. These are drones that you build and can assign to a planet on the star map once you have completed all missions on that planet.

If you want to farm Neural Sensors, it’s best to deploy an Extractor on Jupiter. This will collect the rare resource for you without any intervention.

How many Extractors you can deploy at the same time depends on your mastery rank. However, only one drone per planet is allowed.

Buying and crafting Neural Sensors

You can buy Neural Sensors at the market. It’s best to search for them using the search function by entering the name. Alternatively, you can find them under “Equipment” and then under “Components.” There, you can buy either a Neural Sensor or a blueprint for crafting the resource.

  • 1 Neural Sensor costs 10x Platinum
  • 1x Blueprint for Neural Sensor costs 100x Platinum

The smallest Platinum package in the shop costs €4.49 and gives you 75 Platinum.

Once you have purchased the blueprint, you need four components to produce Neural Sensors: 15,000 Credits, 15,000 Alloy Plates, 50,000 Nano Spores, and 25,000 Salvage.

Another important resource that you will need repeatedly is Plastids. You also use these when building various Warframes. Of course, we have a corresponding guide on MeinMMO: Warframe: Plastids farming 2026 – How to collect the resource quickly and easily

ARC Raiders: Find the Rotary Encoder – How to solve the quest ‘With a view’

Alexander Mehrwald Alexander Mehrwald Reading time 3 minutes

In the quest “With a View” in ARC Raiders, you need to find a rotaryencoder. But it is not so easy to find. How you complete the task, you can find out here.

Update, March 23, 2026: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.

What do you have to do for the quest? When you start the quest “With a View”, you first need to obtain a rotaryencoder, deploy it at a specific location, and then secure an ionizer.

But that’s not so easy, as both items belong to the rarer loot that is part of the notorious Exodus loot. How to complete the quest as quickly and safely as possible, we will explain in our guide.

Tip: Don’t play with a free loadout when approaching this quest. This way you can stash the items in your safety pocket once you finally get them. You don’t have to complete the quest in a single match and can ensure that you keep the item even if you fail in the match.

Pro tip for good friends: You can also give the rotaryencoder to friends or receive it from a friend to simplify the quest. You only need it for one step of the quest and can give it away or recycle it afterward. So it’s best to work together if multiple of you need to complete the quest; it’s safer and faster that way.

Finding the rotaryencoder – the best locations

Head to Stella Montis, where the rotaryencoder can potentially appear anywhere as blue loot. However, there are places where your chances are higher.

Travel to the north of the map, to the assembly workshops, the medical area, or the security office. If you want to be as safe as possible, the assembly workshops are a good choice. Depending on how long it takes you to get there, it might happen that the good loot has already been claimed by other raiders.

Unfortunately, it may take several attempts.

As a reminder: Once you have found the rotaryencoder, pack it into your safety pocket as quickly as possible so it doesn’t get lost if you should meet your demise. The areas where Exodus loot can be found are highly sought after, and there is a good chance you will encounter other raiders here.

Using the rotaryencoder – here’s how

Another reason why we recommend the assembly workshops as a location is that once you finally find the rotaryencoder, you can deploy it there right away. For this, look for a room with windows and terminals facing outside.

Still, it’s better to pack the rotaryencoder into your safety pocket. If you die on the way there, the item is unfortunately lost. Then look in these rooms for yellow-marked levers. Go there and activate the lever with the rotaryencoder.

Then look for a computer nearby and interact with it. You won’t need the rotaryencoder anymore after this, but it’s advisable to pack it back into your safety pocket just in case.

After that, you need to obtain another item: an ionizer.

Finding the ionizer and completing the quest

Fortunately, the map we showed you for the possible locations of the rotaryencoder also applies to the ionizer. So you can visit the same places again. But here, too, once you have the item, pack it in your safety pocket; otherwise, you will regret it.

Once you have secured the ionizer, finish the match and bring the item to Shani. This completes the quest.

The successor of an MMORPG with a really good combat system is being discontinued and will not come to the West

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Blade & Soul 2 will never come to the West, as the developers have now announced not only the service but also the entire end of the MMORPG.

What kind of game is this? Blade & Soul 2 is, as the name promises, the successor of NCSoft’s MMORPG Blade & Soul, which gained fame in Germany in 2025 with Blade & Soul NEO. The original Blade & Soul has always been popular for its brilliant combat system in martial arts style, which is also among the best in the genre.

The second part of Blade & Soul started in Korea in 2021 and was also exported to other Asian countries in the following years. The MMORPG relies on a dynamic combat system without classes, where the character’s weapons determine the abilities.

The action combat system with martial arts as skills was, like in its predecessor, one of the most important features of the title. Compared to its predecessor, Blade & Soul 2 is essentially a theme park, but it feels significantly more open and thus also tries to attract sandbox players.

Thus, the MMORPG offered quest lines, leveling, dungeons, and dailies simultaneously but also many opportunities to express oneself freely in the open world.

Here you can see an old trailer:

Start video
The action MMORPG Blade & Soul 2 brings a major update – Shows epic battles in the trailer

End before the release in the West

When will the MMORPG be shut down? The developers at NCSoft already announced in December 2025 that they would not release any further content for the MMORPG. The self-operated version is also set to be discontinued on June 30, 2026.

At the same time, the developers announced that they would talk to the local publishers to clarify how the versions in other countries can continue to exist. However, as the gaming magazine 17173 now explains, the other versions of Blade & Soul 2 will also be shut down.

Thus, the Chinese version of the game will be shut down on April 22, and the other versions are also expected to follow.

Why was the MMORPG not successful? Although Blade & Soul as a brand is not unknown here in the West, part 2 could not establish itself among players in Asia. Despite strong pre-registration numbers, NCSoft’s stock prices fell by 20% because the game did not meet players’ expectations (source: frontofficesports.com).

There were complaints about excessive Pay2Win even though players were previously promised not to focus so heavily on Pay2Win. The game also had gacha elements that did not sit well with gamers (source: mmofallout.com).

Another criticism was the game’s identity. There were apparently too many elements from Lineage that actually had no place in Blade & Soul, as seen in the graphics and also in the autoplay feature.

With Blade & Soul 2, the developers did not succeed in achieving the success they had hoped for.

However, Blade & Soul NEO also ended up on the ranking of shame at MeinMMO expert Karsten Scholz lately: 13 new MMORPGs were released in 2025 – the ranking of shame reveals which game disappointed the most (update for December)

Absolutely hunt a monster in Pokémon GO during the current event, as it can later become the best attacker

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

Currently, an event is taking place in Pokémon GO where you can catch a monster for the first time. You should take advantage of this opportunity.

What kind of event is this? Currently, in Pokémon GO the “Descending into the Depths” event is happening. There, you can obtain Lumispross for the first time, along with some strong attackers.

While collectors are already on the hunt for the new monster, you should also chase it if you are more interested in the combat aspect of the game. This could mean a useful investment in your future team.

Start video
Pokémon GO shows its new season in the trailer

Catch now, benefit later

Why is this monster worth it? The evolution of Lumispross, Lumiflora, shares the types Rock and Poison, just like its pre-evolution. In addition, Lumiflora has the possibility of undergoing a Mega Evolution.

Currently, there is no Mega Evolution available in the game. However, it will surely make its way to Pokémon GO in due time. That’s why it pays off to catch good Lumispross during the current event and keep them until the day Lumiflora’s Mega Evolution is unlocked.

According to current calculations, this Mega Evolution is expected to sneak its way to the top of the Rock attackers and will even take a place ahead of Mega Diancie, Crypto Rameidon, and other strong attackers of the type.

How strong the attacker could be is shown by a trainer on Reddit:

What should I look for when catching? The most important thing is that your Lumispross has as high IV values as possible if you want to use it later as a Mega attacker for raids. Ideally, it should have all 3 values at 15. Otherwise, hold on to the specimen with the highest IV values.

How to obtain Lumispross? You can find the monster until Sunday, February 1, 2026, at 8:00 PM on routes, in field research, as well as in both the free and paid limited research for the event.

Many players are annoyed with Windows 11 and want to switch, while Valve has had the perfect solution for years

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Valve has created the most popular gaming platform with Steam. However, many players say that Valve could also provide the perfect alternative to Windows with SteamOS. For this, SteamOS would just need to be freely installable. With the Steam Deck, other handhelds, and the Steam Machine, many devices are already using Valve’s operating system.

What is the criticism of Microsoft/Windows? Many players rely on the Windows operating system on PC when they want to play various titles. However, dissatisfaction among players is growing:

  • There are regular complaints about faulty updates that ruin performance and impair functionalities.
  • Players complain about numerous new AI features that Windows is currently flooded with. Microsoft is not called “Microslop” in the community for no reason.
  • The aggressive tracking of user data and ads in the operating system has also long been criticized. Many people just want to play and not be bothered.

Therefore, there has been a long discussion in the community about how to deal with the situation. The rejection of Windows is high, but according to players, there are often no real alternatives. This is exemplified by a Reddit discussion: Many reject Windows, but they still do not want to switch. In this context, the best alternative for gamers comes directly from Valve.

Why is RAM so expensive? The current situation explained in 2 minutes

According to players, Valve already offers the perfect alternative to Windows with SteamOS

What alternative is it about? In a Reddit post, some players demand that Valve finally release its operating system SteamOS. For players, SteamOS is considered the ultimate alternative for gaming. The system from Valve is optimized for gaming and very accessible, free from annoying bloat and AI features that are increasingly found in more devices today. For instance, a user writes on Reddit:

SteamOS is much better than the alternatives for handheld gaming and has already been adopted by other companies. Valve is working with AMD to make SteamOS more compatible with desktop and other hardware. Windows 11 is full of bloatware and makes games unplayable through updates, making a switch attractive.

SteamOS is Valve’s Linux-based operating system and is currently pre-installed on all “Steam Deck” models. The new Steam Machine, which is set to be released in 2026, will also use the SteamOS operating system.

What is the problem? So far, Valve has only released SteamOS for the Steam Deck and some other handhelds. There is currently no official installation source for regular computers, and it remains unclear whether Valve will ever make its SteamOS freely available.

Do all games even work? SteamOS currently, like all Linux operating systems, still has a problem with games that rely on aggressive anti-cheat systems: anti-cheat software at the kernel level often does not work under Linux, and features like “Secure Boot” are also not supported.

Those who install SteamOS must therefore be prepared to forego popular games like Call of Duty, Battlefield 6, or Fortnite, as they simply do not work on SteamOS or generally on Linux. The limitations usually affect large multiplayer games, while those who only enjoy single-player and perhaps some couch co-op should have little trouble with SteamOS.

WoW: Mega-Buffs for Quests – Everything gets easier, there is more Housing XP

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The endeavors in World of Warcraft started off a bit rocky. Blizzard is helping out and making sure you get even more XP.

Endeavors are one of the major social features of housing in World of Warcraft. Every month, visitors from various races and cultures come to your neighborhood for whom you can complete tasks. As a reward, you receive plenty of housing XP (for your house level), progress for the endeavor, and of course, a lot of decorations that you unlock.

However, some neighborhoods had little chance and had to endure nearly endless grinding. This has now been fixed.

Start video

What was the problem with the endeavors? Endeavors had some issues at launch that were apparently not immediately obvious during development, but became directly noticeable in the live system. Some of the key aspects are:

Neighborhoods with few active players have a hard time completing the first endeavor. The system doesn’t have data on how active a neighborhood is yet and would only scale appropriately from the second endeavor onwards.

The repeatable tasks give less and less progress with each repetition. This was meant to incentivize taking on different tasks, but led to even particularly dedicated neighborhood fans being unable to contribute after a while.

The combination of these two circumstances meant that it was already apparent for some neighborhoods after just a few days: The endeavor would not reach a successful conclusion, no matter how hard one tried. As the diminishing returns from the repeatable quests worsen the grind with each completion, the progress becomes ever smaller.

WoW Female Humans Housing Icon title title 1280x720
The endeavors caused some small issues – now they are fixed.

Individual players can carry entire endeavors

What has Blizzard changed now? Blizzard has acknowledged the issues and announced some major changes that are now live. These include:

  • The diminishing returns on repeatable tasks are less severe. Instead of being reduced to up to 20% of the original value, the cap is now at 50%. This way, all tasks still provide good progress even when completed multiple times.
  • The first endeavor generally requires fewer points to complete. You should see a greater impact from your contributions.
  • The generic tasks (such as dungeons, depths, raid bosses) give more endeavor experience, so even “normal gameplay” has a noticeable effect on the endeavor.

But for everyone who is having issues with their housing level, there is also a significant improvement:

The maximum amount of housing XP you can earn from endeavors has been increased from 1,000 to 2,250. Together with the completion of the endeavor (250), you now get a maximum of 2,500 housing XP per endeavor, which is nearly a whole level for your house.

Note that the interface has not yet correctly displayed a large part of these changes; this will be addressed in a larger patch. However, you should be able to read the progress on the endeavor progress bar.

WoW Housing Endeavor Progress Bar
Most endeavors should now finish very quickly.

What does this mean? In short, this means that individual players can now have a much greater impact on an endeavor. It only takes a handful of active characters – or even just a single, extremely engaged character – to maximize an endeavor within days.

This should now make it possible to achieve significant progress even in a fairly inactive public neighborhood or in a neighborhood with people who hardly participate in the endeavor.

Additionally, Blizzard has announced that there will be further adjustments to the endeavors in the future, based on community feedback. If you have any further concerns about the endeavors, be sure to share your opinions in the forums or on WoW’s subreddit, or also discuss this feature here in the comments.

However, endeavors are not the only thing in World of Warcraft that urgently needed improvement. One of the “flagships” of Midnight, the Devourer Demon Hunter, needs urgent help – as it is simply a pitiful shadow of what it could be.

On the verge of quitting, this Twitch streamer gave himself one year – and exploded to 10x viewership

Johanna Johanna Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Kevin “GTime” Lohse is a true veteran in the German content creator landscape. Through a shift in his content and Craft Attack 13, he experienced a renewed surge in viewers.

Who is it about? The streamer GTime has been on the Twitch platform since 2014. Thus, he is one of the veterans in the German Twitch landscape. GTime is a trained chef and also worked in this profession before his Twitch career.

He mainly fills his Twitch channel with gaming content and participated in Craft Attack 13 and other Twitch projects.

Exactly one year ago, in January 2025, GTime had an average of 435 viewers per stream according to SullyGnome.com. Comparing that to his current average viewer numbers, which stand at 5,339, results in an almost twelvefold increase (source: SullyGnome).

From Gaming to Fitness and Cooking

How did GTime manage to increase his viewer numbers? In the podcast Henke’s Corner (on YouTube), GTime shared a bit more about his content on Twitch. He produced only gaming content in the past but eventually had no significant success with it anymore.

In August 2024, he set a goal to try Twitch full-time for about a year and then eventually switch back to his previous profession. He also had plans for something with a food truck or an online shop with preserved food.

At the same time, GTime revamped his content: instead of only offering gaming, he combined his desire to lose weight with Twitch. He cooked in his streams and played sports games in front of his viewers.

This, along with his participation in Craft Attack 13, gave the Twitch streamer a boost in terms of viewers. At this point, it seems GTime has reconsidered his plan to stop with Twitch.

By now, GTime has surpassed 1 million followers on Twitch. Previously, GTime had promised his viewers a DJ set, as he had also performed DJ activities before his Twitch career.

The Orks in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 are really loud and brutal – exactly the way they are supposed to be.

Ody Ody Reading time 2 minutes

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 has released a new gameplay trailer for the Orks. It showcases their powerful Warlords, loud weaponry, and crazy war machines that can even face off against those of the Space Marines.

What kind of trailer is this? You can exclusively view it on the official YouTube channel of IGN. In about 4 minutes, the developers introduce the Ork units and the Warlords they follow into battle. All of this is complemented by gameplay scenes.

Loud Guns and Powerful War Machines

What does the trailer show? The Orks from Warhammer 40,000 are not the brightest stars in the universe, but they are loud and extremely brutal – the previous CGI trailer for the Orks from Dawn of War 4 already showed that. The new trailer demonstrates how this is reflected in their gameplay.

Orks follow exactly one tactic in battle, which is “up close and loud,” while roaring “WAAAGH!!!”:

  • Ork-Boyz charge en masse at their opponents. They are not heavily armored – they overwhelm enemies with sheer numbers.
  • Stormboyz storm into battle with a rocket strapped to their back, overcoming obstacles that stand between them and a good fight.
  • Other Orks ride into battle on Squighogs – muscular four-legged creatures with huge mouths that swallow everything that fits.

The Orks are also working on big guns that unleash a loud hail of bullets on their opponents, as well as powerful war machines. The largest and most powerful among them is the Gorkanaut: a walking fortress that crushes Space Marines under its feet and even takes on the Imperial Knights – gigantic, mech-like machines of the Empire.

Two Playable Ork Clans: A Familiar Face and a “Boomer”

In Dawn of War 4, there will be two playable Ork clans: Gorgutz, known to fans from parts 1 and 3, leads the Bad Moons. He was seen in the CGI trailer for the Orks and is the one who pressed the cartoonishly large red button. Gorgutz sits in a battle suit equipped with a massive claw that crushes opponents.

New, however, are the Snakebites, the “Boomers” among the Ork clans in the lore of Warhammer 40,000: They traditionally prefer more conventional combat methods over technology. Their Waaaghboss (as the Orks call their leaders) embodies this. He rides on a Squigosaur – an even larger, more vicious variant of the Squighog. From its back, he wields a massive sword.

WildStar’s spiritual successor is free on Steam – offering loot, leveling, and hard bosses

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

With Wayfinder, the developers aimed to create a worthy successor to the popular MMORPG WildStar, even though the title ultimately became more of a co-op game than an MMORPG. Now you can try it for free.

What kind of game is this? Wayfinder is an ARPG that you can play together with 2 other friends or even solo. As an ARPG with MMORPG elements, it focuses primarily on exciting battles, tough bosses, and progression systems that turn your character into a true hero.

In doing so, you will traverse different areas in an open world, defeat bosses, collect loot, and improve your character. For endless content, randomly generated dungeons provide variety, looking different each time and presenting different challenges.

Instead of classes, you have access to 8 different characters and weapons, each with unique stats and attributes that allow you to customize your character.

Here you can learn more about the development:

With Wayfinder, they aimed to create a spiritual successor to the MMORPG, but after a promising launch, the game lost more and more players, before the developers decided to turn the MMORPG-lite into a co-op game with MMORPG elements.

So, when it comes to stats, housing, and customizing your own character, you can tell that this was originally intended to be an MMORPG. As a player, you can furnish your own house with over 300 items.

You can completely dye your armor in dozens of different colors, and there are various equipment sets that you can earn. Crossplay for you and your friends is also possible.

Why is Wayfinder the spiritual successor of WildStar? Not only does the graphic style of Wayfinder resemble WildStar. Even during development, fans described the then MMORPG as a good alternative to WildStar. The developers of WildStar felt the same way and spoke positively about the title on X.com.

In response to a post, the former creative producer of WildStar, Chad Moore, said back then: “This is the 2nd chance for the best MMO ever.” Thus, the ARPG offers just the mix of fantasy and sci-fi, as well as steampunk and martial arts elements that made the setting of WildStar so enjoyable.

What does the game cost? Initially, Wayfinder was supposed to be a free MMORPG, but the developers decided to stick with a Buy2Play model during the transition to a co-op game. Regularly, Wayfinder costs €24.50 on Steam.

Currently, however, the game is playable for free until January 29 at 7:00 PM, giving all interested parties the opportunity to check out the game for free. If you like what you see, Wayfinder is available with a 70% discount for €7.35 until February 2.

With Wayfinder, the developers have captured the spirit of WildStar and have tried their best to implement it. The fact that the game did not turn into a real MMORPG does not detract from the current version, as the inherited features benefit every ARPG. Another ARPG is taking more inspiration from Path of Exile 2 in its development: New ARPG mixes Path of Exile 2 with one of the most successful games on Steam, with only 2 developers.

The 8 strongest Baratheons in the Power Ranking – Who held the greater power in Westeros?

Linda Baumgartl Linda Baumgartl Reading time 8 minutes

The House Baratheon is one of the most important noble houses in Game of Thrones. But which Baratheon was actually the most powerful in the history of Westeros? MeinMMO has selected the 8 strongest members for you.  

What is House Baratheon? House Baratheon is one of the great houses of Westeros. Since Aegon’s Conquest, they have ruled over the Stormlands south of King’s Landing. Their seat is Storm’s End, and their motto is “Ours is the Fury”.

The sigil of the house shows a black stag on a golden field. After the coronation of Robert Baratheon, he divided the land among himself and his two brothers, creating three bloodlines:

  • House Baratheon of King’s Landing: Rulers of the Crownlands, founded by Robert Baratheon
  • House Baratheon of Dragonstone: Rulers of Dragonstone, founded by Stannis Baratheon
  • House Baratheon of Storm’s End: Rulers of Storm’s End and the Stormlands, founded by Renly Baratheon

What criteria were used for the ranking? Strength and power can naturally look very different. In the ranking, we primarily assess based on: political power, strength in battle, popularity, and influence on history. We also only looked at characters who were explicitly born as Baratheon. That means:

  • no bastards (like Gendry)
  • no married-in Baratheons
  • no alleged Baratheons (like Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella).

Spoiler warning: Events from Game of Thrones are spoiled. Spoilers for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are hidden separately, so you don’t have to worry here.

Rank 8: Stormbreaker

Almost nothing is known about “Stormbreaker”, a legendary knight from House Baratheon. We don’t even know his first name. It is said that he always brought glory to his house. His deeds must have been very impressive. At least, his name is mentioned in the same breath as Lyonel Baratheon, whom we will encounter later on this list.

What makes the character truly special is his backstory. In fact, there is an officially supported text-based online role-playing game by George R.R. Martin, which has existed since the publication of the first books. The website (Westeros.org) was founded by two fans, Elio Miguel García Jr. and Linda Maria Antonsson. The two had such enormous knowledge about the world of Westeros that they worked as official “fact-checkers” for Martin, and later also became co-authors for the book “Westeros – The World of Ice and Fire”. In this book, Stormbreaker is mentioned. They pay tribute to a longtime friend and collaborator who embodied the character Ser Sarmion “Stormbreaker” Baratheon in the online role-playing game.

Rank 7: Raymond Baratheon

Not much is known about Ser Raymond Baratheon either. He was the younger son in his branch of the family, and thus had no prospect of inheriting land or titles. Therefore, he became a member of the Kingsguard of King Aenys I. Targaryen, long before the time of “Game of Thrones” and “House of the Dragon”.

In his role as a knight, he did very well and gained glory primarily by saving his king’s life. At that time, there was great tension between House Targaryen and the Faith of the Seven, which did not tolerate the incestuous relationships of the ruling family. Two members of the “Poor Fellows”, a religious military order, broke into the king’s chamber to permanently remove him from the way. Fortunately, Ser Raymond was present and was able to prevent the assassination with swift action.

Sentenced to be a Hero is a hit – but the Protagonist is ruining it for fans

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Sentenced to be a Hero is well-received by the Anime community. However, they could do without one main character, as the image from the new episode proves.

Which character is that? Teoritta is a goddess of swords. In the world of Sentenced to be a Hero, goddesses are not abstract beings, but partners of the heroes, granting them immense powers. She is the partner of protagonist Xylo.

As a sword goddess, Teoritta can summon powerful weapons that Xylo uses in his fight against the demons. Her pact with the hero is particularly controversial because Xylo is a convicted hero whose crime was killing his previous goddess.

The blonde goddess is described as energetic and a bit eccentric. She enjoys being praised and expects a certain level of homage. However, her manner is what annoys many viewers.

The goddess Teoritta would not be missed

What does the community think of the goddess? The creators of the anime have released a new image for the upcoming episode. These images attract a lot of attention every week, especially since the anime turned out to be a surprise. Fans on Reddit notice that the goddess is not visible at all. One user even jokes that the goddess was killed and that Xylo, the protagonist, must have found a new goddess. 

This would happen every few episodes. However, users clarify that this is just a joke and that Teoritta will still play a significant role in the future.

In fact, there are many users who would wish for exactly that. For them, Teoritta is as annoying as Paimon from Genshin Impact, and they would prefer to see her dead. The hate for her goes so far that one user writes that the show would only be watchable for him if she were gone.

Also, the gimmick of her constantly getting a pat on the head when she is praised is embarrassing for many.

However, there are some opposing voices and fans who can find something appealing about Teoritta. Some even wonder if there will be a relationship between her and Xylo in the future, as they have an interesting dynamic.

Which side are you on? Are you a fan of Teoritta or would you not even notice if the goddess suddenly disappeared? Let us know in the comments.
