Helldivers 2: Update 01.000.300 changes 24 weapons and stratagems – All patch notes

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 8 minutes

Helldivers 2 received a new update on April 29. In total, 24 weapons and stratagems have been either nerfed or buffed. MeinMMO shows you what is changing.

The developers of Helldivers 2 regularly provide the co-op shooter with new updates. There are new war bonds that bring new weapons and armors in the form of a battle pass, and there are regular patches that fix bugs and revise weapons as well as equipment.

Arrowhead likes to make broad balancing adjustments in the patches. Even the first major balance patch of Helldivers 2 sparked major discussions in the community. Now with patch 01.000.300, there is once again a comprehensive revision of many weapons.

How big is the update? On Steam, the patch is nearly 822 MB in size.

Patch 01.000.300 – Numerous buffs and nerfs for weapons and equipment

What changes with the patch regarding weapons? Arrowhead has made a lot of changes to the various weapons and equipment, including buffs and nerfs. However, especially the current meta weapons have been nerfed – including the Quasar Cannon and the Sickle.

Here you can see a selection of the most interesting changes to weapons and stratagems:

  • LAS-16-Sickle – Nerf
    • Reduction of magazines (3 instead of 6)
  • LAS-99-Quasar Cannon – Nerf
    • Charge time increased by 5 seconds
  • R-36-Eruptor – Nerf
    • Reduction of magazines (6 instead of 12)
    • Explosion damage decreases somewhat faster
  • Dominator – Nerf
    • Damage reduced (275 instead of 300)
  • Laser Cannon – Buff
    • Somewhat increased damage
    • Slightly reduced damage against “large volume bodies”
  • ARC-12 Blitzer – Buff
    • Increased rate of fire per minute (46 instead of 30)
  • Railgun – Buff
    • Armor penetration increased (both in safe and unsafe mode)
  • Tesla Tower – Buff
    • Now has 33% more health
  • Senator – Buff
    • Increased damage (175 instead of 150)
    • There is now a speedloader that significantly speeds up reloading when the drum is completely empty

Additionally, the issues with the new air detonation rocket launcher have been fixed. It should now lead to fewer team kills, as the explosion is no longer triggered by nearby trees, rocks, or Helldivers.

Which nerfs stand out in particular? The Quasar Cannon has been hit particularly hard. It was currently a fixed part of the best loadouts and a really strong weapon against both bugs and robots.

The increased charge time of 5 seconds is therefore a very significant nerf, especially since the Quasar Cannon is now less flexible to use.

Additionally, the Sickle, which is one of the best all-rounders, has been nerfed. The laser assault rifle that came with the war bond “Cutting Edge” now has 3 fewer rounds. The rounds are consumed similarly to magazines, but only if you shoot for too long with the weapon and it overheats. If you pay attention to the temperature of the weapon while shooting, the nerf should be barely noticeable.

Patch 01.000.300 – Changes to bugs and robots

How have the enemies been changed? Some changes have also been made to the enemies of the Helldiver. Both the robots and the bugs have been partially reworked. Especially the gunships of the automatons should now pose an even more annoying threat.

Here is a selection of the most interesting changes:

  • Acid Spitter – Nerf
    • are now somewhat slower
  • Hulk (Flamethrower) – Nerf
    • direct flamethrower damage reduced by 20%
  • Devastator (Standard) – Buff
    • Rate of fire slightly increased
  • Gunships – Buff
    • Sideways movement slightly increased
  • Gunship Spawners – Buff
    • much lower cap for the number of gunships they can have active at the same time
  • Patrol Spawn – Buff
    • Patrols now spawn more often when there are fewer than 4 Helldivers in the mission.
    • For 4-player missions, there is no change.
    • The biggest difference is expected to be for solo players on high difficulty levels
  • Ricochet of shots – Buff
    • Shots that ricochet off heavily armored enemies now hit the Helldiver who fired them.

You should now avoid carelessly shooting at armored enemies like Hulks or Stalkers with your assault rifle or shotgun.

Here you can find the complete patch notes for patch 01.000.300:

Patch fixes problem with new rocket launcher

What’s the problem with the new rocket launcher? Players had the chance to decide which new equipment they receive by executing a general order. Depending on which planet the players liberated first, the Helldivers were supposed to receive either anti-tank mines or an air detonation rocket launcher.

Ultimately, players received the air detonation rocket launcher, but shortly after the rocket launcher was unlocked, dissatisfaction spread on Reddit.

The air detonation rocket launcher fires rockets that explode in the air and then scatter explosive projectiles in all directions. However, this new support weapon had the critical problem that the projectiles were triggered by nearby objects such as trees or rocks, as well as Helldivers and their equipment, leading to numerous team kills.

After the patch, the air detonation rocket launcher should no longer detonate when fired near equipment and other Helldivers. In general, the action radius of the rockets has been reduced.

The ship modules did not receive a nerf in Helldivers 2. Therefore, feel free to check on MeinMMO which ones you should upgrade first: Helldivers 2: Best ship modules

Twitch: MontanaBlack says people from DB are trying to make quick money off him – Wants to go to court

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

When Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris (36) streams on Twitch, tens of thousands of fans tune in. Recently, the streamer has been spending more time outdoors, but some people feel disturbed by being presented to such a large audience.

What trouble does MontanaBlack have with the DB? The Twitch streamer has increasingly focused on IRL content since 2022, exchanging his well-known streaming room for the “real world”. This can lead to people in the background of the stream appearing who do not want to be shown.

MontanaBlack previously had legal issues due to an IRL stream. In that case, however, an out-of-court settlement was reached. In March 2024, the streamer encountered trouble with employees of the Deutsche Bahn. The train attendants informed him during an IRL stream that he could not take his bicycle on the S-Bahn during restricted times.

Shortly thereafter, a complaint was filed by the DB employees, as they were clearly visible in the stream. However, MontanaBlack does not accept this and accuses the employees of trying to make quick money off him.

MontanaBlack does not want to set a precedent

What does the streamer say? In his IRL stream from April 28, MontanaBlack provided an update on the complaint against him. The streamer finds the demand “disproportionate” and wants to take it to court. The incident in the wildlife park was different, as a small child was also visible there.

MontanaBlack clarifies that people certainly have the right to complain if they appear in his stream against their will. However, he does not want people to make “quick money” at his expense. The DB employees’ demand concerns “a lot of money”. The streamer does not specify an exact amount, but it is more than 1,000 euros.

The 36-year-old believes there must be a proportionality, no matter how much he earns.

MontanaBlack does not expect great chances in court: he will not win the case. After all, it concerns personality rights. However, the streamer hopes for “a reasonable legal system.”

No judge could support that people demand six months’ salary just because they are seen for a few seconds in the stream, MontanaBlack says. He fears that he will set a precedent if he agrees out of court to pay an amount like 10,000 euros. “Then anyone can make easy money,” the streamer remarks.

Why does MontanaBlack believe he is in the right? The 36-year-old clearly distinguishes between people who are accidentally seen in the background of his streams and those who are filmed intentionally. He states that he would never “put a camera in someone’s face and ask stupid questions.”

However, people who appear as mere “props” in his streams do not have the right to sue him. If someone feels disturbed, the streamer is also okay with paying a fine.

However, if “the state” were to condemn him to pay 10,000 to 20,000 euros just because someone is seen for 5 seconds in the stream, he explains, he would no longer be able to make IRL streams in the future.

You were right about the bugs in Helldivers 2 and now you have to live with the consequences

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

In Helldivers 2, it was discussed over a month ago whether it really makes sense to use the termiticide to weaken the bugs. Now it shows that you were right with your concerns.

What were you right about? Over a month ago, there was the general order against the bugs that was supposed to drive them away from 4 planets forever. The scientists of the directed democracy developed a termiticide that was supposed to eliminate the bugs on the planets and “vaccinate” the planets against a renewed infestation of the bugs.

Ever since the order came up, Helldivers players have been skeptical about whether it really makes sense to listen to the all-knowing supreme command. Many Helldivers feared that the bugs could mutate due to the “vaccination” of the planet, leading to the flying bugs that had been sporadically spotted back then.

In the end, the Helldivers carried out the general order despite the concerns, and the vaccination seemed to work – until now.

Beware Helldiver: If you pay attention to the tips from the following video, you’ll become really unpopular.

The bugs in Helldivers 2 have outsmarted the poison

How did the bugs manage that? The bugs seem to have outsmarted the poison that was distributed on the four planets overnight and made use of it.

The population of bugs on the planets has exploded overnight, and the bugs are simultaneously attacking all four planets. The planet Meridia has already become the super-colony of the bugs, and the others are also at risk of falling.

This is a big problem for the Helldivers. As long as the poison is still active on the planets, more and more bugs will appear. The supreme command has, of course, reacted immediately and ordered a new general order commanding the Helldivers to shut down the termitin control systems.

The brave soldiers have 5 days left to do this, otherwise the bugs will probably become too powerful and have taken control of the entire planet.

What do the players say about it? The players are not surprised by the event, as they are somewhat to blame for it through their fan theories from back then. The gamemaster Joel is surely reading along when fans publicly discuss their theories – perhaps he has even taken inspiration from it.

At least that is what players suspect in response to the new situation. On Reddit, the user Select_Ad3588 writes: “Wow, not a single person in the whole world saw this coming!”

Also, unicornofdemocracy on Reddit is not surprised and gives Joel the next prompt: “I can’t wait to see the videos of people discovering new types of bugs through the TCS… but the spread of the bugs via the TCS looks disgustingly amazing.”

Gibs_01 on Reddit has an idea that excites some in the comments: “Do you all think that Meridia will be the first planet to introduce a boss monster” 

A boss monster in Helldivers 2 is something many players would likely want to see. However, there are as yet no further clues, except that Meridia has become a super-colony.

Fans celebrate Stellar Blade on PS5 for its great battles – Developers explain what makes them so good

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

Stellar Blade, which is exclusive to the PS5, is often praised by fans for its good combat. The developers now reveal in an interview why the combat has turned out so well.

What is so good about the combat? Players on Reddit particularly praise the depth of the combat system compared to other Soulslike games.

The bosses in Stellar Blade have good animations that players can really react to, instead of constantly counting what ability would happen next.

Players find the combat to be just the right difficulty level, neither too easy nor too hard. This may be largely due to one thing that the developers implemented while programming the game.

Here you can watch the trailer for Stellar Blade:

Stellar Blade, the action-adventure on the PS5 launches demo

The developers held a speedrun competition

What did the developers do? To help all developers understand how the combat and the underlying combat system should work, they did what most players often demand: they played their own game.

But it didn’t stop there. Early in Stellar Blade, players encounter the boss Abaddon. This creepy monster was the target of an internal speedrun competition among the developers.

The devs took turns competing against each other in the boss fight. The goal was to defeat the boss first.

What is the purpose of the competition? Because all developers tried to defeat the boss first, they also gained a feel for the game. Instead of in a normal testing environment, the competition allowed the developers to see how regular players would feel when fighting the boss.

Through the competition, everyone developed a vision of how the combats in Stellar Blade should work and how the combat system should be. In an interview on YouTube, developer Hyung Min Lee says: “[…] From that moment on, we all understood how to design the combat system of Stellar Blade.”

The combat in Stellar Blade is one of the features that fans continuously highlight. However, Stellar Blade is not only well received by fans, the creator of NieR: Automata also finds Stellar Blade better than his own RPG, and that makes him envious.

I use a free app on Android and save about 30 euros every month

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

Prices have been increasing for months. MyMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann has tried several apps to save money. And it has really paid off. By the end of the month, there were always a few euros left over because he actually kept an app on his phone.

What did I try? Due to inflation and sharply rising prices, I wanted to save money and keep my savings together. For this reason, I started keeping a household book. This way, I was able to see very quickly where my biggest expenses were each month. I tested several apps from the Google App Store:

  • Money Manager: A clear design, but a lot of ads, which are additionally in Chinese. This made the app immediately unappealing (to the Google Play Store)
  • My Expenses: A nice app with good basic features. Unfortunately, many features are locked behind a paywall as premium, which must be unlocked either via subscription or one-time payment (to the Google Play Store).
  • Cashew: The app shines not only through the lack of ads but also because it is completely open-source, flawlessly in German and works in the browser thanks to the web app. Moreover, the app is from Canada (to the Google Play Store).

Why did I keep Cashew? In the end, I stuck with the Cashew app. I have now consistently recorded my expenses for over 6 months. After each purchase, I took my receipts and entered the costs into the app.

By now, I am so convinced of the app that I am actually considering investing the one-time 20 euros. While the pro features are hardly worth it, it’s really worth it to me for the app now.

Cashew App Overview November
This is what my data looked like in November 2023.

With a budgeting app, I save about 30 euros per month

Here’s how I proceeded: At the beginning of the month, I set a clear budget: I want to keep my monthly expenses for groceries and more under 300 euros.

How much did I save? In the first month, I was significantly surprised by my expenses and was well above my budget. This was shocking to me, so I went through my purchases again. Over the next few months, I was about 30 or 40 euros below my target. I actually spent less on average.

As soon as I realized that I was quickly approaching my desired budget, I skipped certain purchases or tried to save costs in other ways:

  • Then the bag of gummy bears or the bar of chocolate was left in the supermarket.
  • Or I bought fewer items that would only end up sitting in the pantry for the next few months.
  • I questioned more often while shopping about what I really needed: What do I need to buy today, and what can I easily do without?

Do you have a tip? Yes, I do. What I strongly recommend for anyone wanting to keep a household book is to enter your expenses directly and consistently. In my first attempt, I sometimes entered expenses days later, which undermines the purpose of a project where I want to break down expenses.

Palworld introduces 4 new Pals in the trailer, but players discover more details

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 2 minutes

In a new trailer, Palworld introduces four new monsters that you will soon be able to catch in the game. However, players believe they discover even more new content in the trailer.

Which Pals are being introduced? A trailer has now revealed a larger update for Palworld. A specific date for when this update will arrive is not yet known, but you can mark summer 2024 as an approximate timeframe.

The trailer focuses on four new Pals that will make their way into the game with the update. However, Pocketpair has not yet disclosed their names in this context. So for now, you will have to be satisfied with the few scenes that the trailer offers:

Start video
Palworld introduces four new Pals in the trailer

Four new Pals are coming with the update

  • A humanoid frog that seems to be a real martial artist with a black belt.
  • A large bird that can shoot sharp stones from the ground.
  • A dog-like humanoid creature that can be seen in a temple and may possess psychic powers.
  • A dinosaur with a mushroom hat and an innocent look.

According to the developers, only a few new Pals are supposed to come into the game with the update. However, we will likely only find out how many there will actually be in the near future.

How does the community react? Many players are excited about the new Pals and express their anticipation in the comments (via YouTube). In particular, the round, fighting frog seems to have captured the hearts of most players.

“This frog. I want this frog,” is one of the top comments. User PalKomi also writes in their comment: “I desperately want this frog-Pal, it looks so lovable […]”. In fact, the frog is mentioned particularly frequently in the comments.

Players discover more details in the trailer

Even though the trailer focuses on the new Pals, players were able to discover a few more details that might come to the game with the update.

“Also new weapons. Very nice,” notes user awanderer4033 in their comment. In fact, the trailer seems to introduce two new weapons that you can use to fight against the Pals:

  • A modern assault rifle that allows you to shoot lasers.
  • A huge flamethrower that seems to leave opposing Pals no chance.

You can also discover new areas in the trailer. However, whether and when these will be added to the game, or how large they will be, has not yet been confirmed. However, it is likely that these areas are not just designed for the trailer:

  • An Asian-inspired area full of cherry blossom trees, shrines, and the iconic torii gates.
  • A swamp area full of giant mushrooms, which will probably be home to the mushroom dino.

Crunchyroll offers some of its anime series for free, but most newer animes require a subscription. In May, the streaming service temporarily lifts this restriction and grants access to 12 anime series that usually require payment. Among them are two highlights that no fan should miss.

Which highlights are meant? Last autumn, the anime for Frieren was released. It is considered the best anime of all time. Until now, viewers had to subscribe to watch all 28 episodes, but starting tomorrow, May 1, 2024, the animes will be available for free for a limited time.

In the following quarter, that is, the upcoming season, Solo Leveling followed. The anime, which is actually based on a South Korean manhwa, was celebrated by many fans. Our MeinMMO author Niko Hernes may not fully understand the hype, but on Crunchyroll, the anime approaches a nearly perfect rating of 4.9/5 stars.

You should definitely not miss Frieren if you haven’t seen the anime yet. The following trailer shows why:

12 Animes for free in May, including many hidden gems

Which other animes are free? Besides Frieren and Solo Leveling, there are more animes where you can save on the subscription cost of at least 6.99 Euros. Crunchyroll has listed all the series available for free starting tomorrow:

  • Bungo Stray Dogs
  • Chainsaw Man
  • Dr. Stone
  • Frieren – After the Journey’s End
  • Heaven Official’s Blessing
  • Hell’s Paradise
  • Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid
  • Rent-a-Girlfriend
  • Solo Leveling
  • Tokyo Ghoul
  • Tokyo Revengers
  • Vinland Saga

The animes come from different genres, so there should be something for every fan. After the promotion, the series will likely return to the paid program, which costs at least 6.99 Euros per month.

How long will the series be free? All mentioned animes will be available for free on Crunchyroll until May 31, 2024. If you want to watch all the anime series, you need to hurry.

Both Frieren and Solo Leveling currently have 40 episodes. There are also animes with multiple seasons. Dr. Stone has 59 episodes across three seasons and a special. So if you want to watch all 12 series, you should create a strict schedule. Only then can you fit all the animes in time.

MeinMMO author Jasmin Beverungen would have recommended another anime, but unfortunately it is not included in the free month: New anime impresses with a young pharmacist and I look forward to each new episode

Pokémon GO: 2 new regional Ultra Beasts are waiting for you – Here’s how to get them

Paul Kutzner Paul Kutzner Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, 2 new Ultra Beasts have been announced. We explain to you what they are and how you can get them.

What are Ultra Beasts? Ultra Beasts are mysterious Pokémon that come from another dimension and are comparable to legendary and mythical Pokémon. They were introduced in Generation 7. Through so-called Ultra Wormholes, they can travel through different dimensions.

There are already some Ultra Beasts that have made their way into the world of Pokémon GO. Now, 2 new Ultra Beasts have been confirmed for May. These are Kopplosio and Muramura, which will be available in Pokémon GO for the first time after being teased a while ago.

Start video
Pokémon GO: It’s time to #RediscoverGO!

2 Hemispheres, 2 Ultra Beasts

What kind of Ultra Beasts are they? Both Pokémon have been around since Generation 7. While Kopplosio has the types Fire and Ghost, Muramura is a Pokémon with the types Rock and Steel. Neither Pokémon has an evolution.

Where can I obtain the Ultra Beasts? Each of the two Ultra Beasts will be available in a different hemisphere. While Kopplosio will be found in the western hemisphere, you will encounter Muramura in the eastern hemisphere.

Germany is located in the eastern hemisphere, so Muramura will be available here.

How can I obtain the Ultra Beasts? The Ultra Beasts will be available in their respective hemispheres from May 23, 2024, at 10:00 AM to June 1, 2024, at 10:00 AM. During this period, you can challenge and catch the respective Ultra Beast in 5*-raids.

Additionally, there will be a raid hour on May 29, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, during which the Ultra Beasts will be present in their hemispheres. If you haven’t managed to get one by then, this event could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Manor Lords on Steam no longer matters to me from today, Warhammer will keep me busy for hundreds of hours

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Manor Lords is currently the game of the hour on Steam. However, something important is being overlooked in the hype: Total War: Warhammer 3 is getting a new DLC and a free update. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus has awaited this more eagerly than the new city-building hit.

Total War: Warhammer 3 is not only one of my favorite games, but it is also one of the largest strategy games on Steam. This is due to the free “Immortal Empires” update, which made the world incredibly vast:

Instead of simply playing the third Warhammer installment, Immortal Empires combines Total War: Warhammer 1, 2, and 3 into a single, massive map with over 280 factions battling each other.

All of this takes place in the fantastic world of Warhammer, a gritty, brutal fantasy world that is definitely aimed at adults. All in all: It’s exactly my game, and I have already sunk over 500 hours into it.

However, on April 26, 2024, Manor Lords has been released. A new building game that is captivating everyone on Steam, even though it is still unfinished. It peaked at over 170,000 players (via steamcharts).

Although I liked Manor Lords, the hype did not sweep me away. On the one hand, I simply miss content, and on the other hand, my highly anticipated DLC for Warhammer is finally coming today, on April 30 at 4:00 PM German time.

Start video
Total War: Warhammer 3 – The trailer for the new DLC Thrones of Decay

New units for all with delusions of grandeur – Like me!

On April 30, “Thrones of Decay” will be released along with three paid DLCs. These are individual “Lord Packs,” bringing new legendary commanders to existing factions:

  • Elspeth von Draken (Empire), a sorceress on a dragon, whose special mechanic combines the gunpowder supremacy of the Empire with magic.
  • Malakai Makaisson (Dwarfs), who combines the advantages of Slayers with engineers, commands his own airship, and is supposed to undertake special adventures.
  • Tamurkhan (Nurgle), a “heavy hitter” who can recruit special chiefs and even consumes his enemies as a lord of maggots in death.

Although the Empire has always been one of the most boring factions for me – Chaos Dwarfs for life! – Elspeth immediately caught my attention. She receives a special unit: the land battleship from Marienburg, a damn battleship on wheels!

Total War Warhammer 3 LAndkreuzer
A fully functional battleship on land – A dream comes true!

As a connoisseur of the heavy artillery of the Chaos Dwarfs, such a piece is, of course, reason enough for me to give the lady a chance and see if she can support the firepower with her other units.

Paid DLC for me, free update for everyone

In addition to the DLCs, which cost €8.99 each, a free update will come, and this one is substantial. Update 5.0 brings:

  • a free legendary lord, Epidemius (Nurgle)
  • a new hero, the Gold Wizard
  • a new campaign feature: the Nemesis Crown has strong advantages but negatively affects relations with all other factions, similar to the Sword of Khaine

In addition, you can expect some balance adjustments. You can find the patch notes on the official website.

Total War is back to “very positive” after the dispute with the community

The creators of Total War, Creative Assembly, recently had quite a significant dispute with the community. The main reasons at the time were high prices for content that used to be cheaper and general dissatisfaction with the DLCs:

More on the topic
Big game about Warhammer on Steam was considered a milestone – But a dispute between developers and fans is currently escalating
von Benedict Grothaus

The sequel of the series, Pharaoh, also played a role in this. Players were generally disappointed with the content. At some point, the creators hit the brakes, distributed gifts, and promised improvements.

This was necessary: At times, Total War: Warhammer 3 stood at just 19 percent approval on Steam. This has since improved significantly. Currently, the game stands at 85 percent and is thus “very positive” (via Steam).

I am quite sure that “Thrones of Decay” will not disappoint me. The contents already sound so good that I know I will definitely invest another 100 hours in the coming weeks. That’s already planned, and allies are being recruited – just the energy drinks are still missing.

Warhammer is anyway one of my favorite worlds because it is simply fantasy for adults. The background has been explained here: Because 3 guys sold wooden figures 50 years ago, today we have the best fantasy world ever

Tarisland is excited about 1 million pre-registrations, giving away Amazon gift cards

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 3 minutes

The MMORPG Tarisland clearly has a tough time with western players. The Chinese operators Tencent and Level Infinite are now trying to entice you to register with various rewards – including an iPhone, an Android smartphone, and gift cards worth 100 US dollars.

Update from April 30, 2024: Via X, the team behind Tarisland is pleased to announce that they have gathered over a million pre-registrations for the MMORPG. This unlocks the milestone title Sharpsight for the community.

To celebrate this milestone, the developers are now giving away 20 Amazon gift cards worth 10 US dollars to anyone interested who retweets the initial tweet while tagging a friend and using the hashtag #TarisWorldPreregistration.

How does Tencent want to encourage me to register for Tarisland? The team behind the MMORPG is enticing players with milestones and a raffle for pre-registrations. The following milestones can be achieved by the community:

  • Already achieved: Game package with useful in-game items
  • From 1 million pre-registrations: Limited title Sharpsight
  • From 1.5 million pre-registrations: Here, a shadowy figure can be seen, possibly a special skin
  • From 3 million pre-registrations: Mysterious companion
  • From 5 million pre-registrations: Mysterious mount

What about the raffle? Anyone interested can complete various tasks related to the pre-registration through the official website to increase their chances in a one-time raffle for a nice prize. You can enter the raffle until June 21, 2024.

A total of twelve participation attempts for the raffle are possible – here’s how you can increase your chances:

  • Pre-register with your Level Infinite Pass account for Tarisland
  • Participate in the so-called H5 events
  • Recruit up to five friends
  • Follow the official social media channels and visit the official Discord channel

More than just a WoW clone? Tarisland in the trailer:

Start video

These rewards can be won in the raffle:

  • The Alternative Void: Exclusive pre-registration title (chance of 9.9 percent)
  • Pre-registration package with in-game items (chance of 65 percent)
  • Large pre-registration package with in-game items (chance of 25 percent)
  • 50 gift cards worth 100 US dollars (chance of 0.002 percent)
  • An iPhone (chance of 0.0003 percent)
  • An Android smartphone (chance of 0.0003 percent)

By clicking on “One-time raffle,” you can actually check right away if you’ve won anything. The author of these lines has secured the title once and the pre-registration package four times.

Meaning: First come, first served. If all physical prizes are gone, you will no longer have a chance to win that particular prize.

Why is Tencent holding such a raffle? On one hand, this could be because Tarisland has not yet generated hype in the western market. The Chinese mega-corporation does not enjoy a very good reputation here. Additionally, Tarisland is set to release on mobile devices alongside PC and initially appears to be a blatant WoW clone.

Moreover, the shitstorm around the payment model that arose during one of the last testing phases was undoubtedly not very helpful either. The developers apparently have a different understanding of Pay2Win than large parts of the western community.

On the other hand, it has recently become clear that World of Warcraft will be returning to China. Without WoW, Tarisland would have faced a significant gap in its important home market, where it could have comfortably settled without competition.

Now, the MMORPG faces the massive task of somehow enticing players away from the WoW servers to the Tarisland servers in the long term – something that many other titles have failed to do over the years. Do you think the raffle can change this?

Pokémon GO: Spotlight Hour today with Clefairy and Candy Bonus

Franzi Korittke Franzi Korittke Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO there will be a Spotlight Hour with Clefairy today, April 30, 2024. We at MeinMMO will show you all the important information regarding the start, the bonuses, and the shiny.

What event is it about? In Pokémon GO, there is a Spotlight Hour every Tuesday, where a predetermined Pokémon spawns everywhere in the wild for 60 minutes. The short event is enhanced by an additional bonus.

After you could already encounter Pii on Sunday during the Hatching Day, you can look forward to its evolution Clefairy during today’s Spotlight Hour. The Fairy Pokémon originates from the first generation of games and can evolve into Clefable. We have summarized what additional bonus it brings you and whether the event is worth it below.

Start video
Pokémon GO: This is what the new season ‘World full of Wonders’ looks like in the trailer

Spotlight Hour on April 30 – Start, Bonuses and Shiny

When does the Spotlight Hour start? Like every Tuesday, the Spotlight Hour will also take place today, April 30, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

What bonuses can you expect? During the one-hour event, you will encounter Clefairy seemingly at every corner in the wild. If the number of spawns is not enough for you, you can additionally set a incense to attract more specimens.

The Fairy Pokémon is accompanied by a candy bonus. You will receive double the amount of candies for catching Pokémon. It doesn’t matter whether you catch Clefairy or another monster.

Is there Shiny Clefairy? Yes, Clefairy has already been available as shiny in the game for quite some time. With a bit of luck, you may encounter a shiny specimen during the Spotlight Hour. You can recognize it by its slightly brighter body and green ears.

However, please note that the chance is usually not increased for this event. The Spotlight Hour with Trubbish on April 23 showed that there can be exceptions.

Is the Spotlight Hour with Clefairy worth it? Clefairy itself is not particularly strong, and its evolution Clefable also has rather average stats in attack, defense, and stamina. Nevertheless, Clefable is among the best Fairy attackers in Pokémon GO. It only ranks 9th in our associated ranking.

And it is generally an option for the Great League of PvP battles. However, there are certainly other candidates in both areas that would be a better choice. Therefore, the event is primarily worthwhile for shiny hunters. If you want to benefit from the candy bonus, you can alternatively activate the mystery box with Meltan.

How do you like today’s Spotlight Hour with Clefairy? Are you participating? Let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.

On May 4, the Rivals Week starts with regional Pokémon, shinies, and strong bonuses.

In WoW: The War Within, each of you needs 3 million gold if you want to have everything

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In World of Warcraft: The War Within, you need a lot of gold. Otherwise, you can only use one of the features to a limited extent.

Gold is an important thing in World of Warcraft. You need it for almost everything in the game. From occasional purchases in the auction house to repair costs incurred when visiting dungeons and raids, or even as payment for craftsmen who create particularly fancy equipment.

For many players, gold is a rare commodity and has to be farmed hard. It may come as a surprise that you need a lot of it in The War Within if you want to fully utilize a new feature:

You need a whopping 3,126,000 gold to fully utilize the Warband Bank.

Start video
WoW: The War Within – All the major features of the new expansion

What kind of bank is this? The Warband Bank is a new, account-wide bank that can be accessed by your entire account. It can be used for crafting as well as for transferring items from one character to another. Gone are the days when you had to send items back and forth through in-game mail.

How much do the bank slots cost? The prices for unlocking the Warband Bank start quite moderately but then rise quickly. While the first slot costs only 1,000 gold coins – something that anyone can farm in just a few minutes – the last slot costs several million gold coins. The costs for the bank slots are as follows:

Bank slot numberCost per slotTotal cost
11,000 gold1,000 gold
225,000 gold26,000 gold
3100,000 gold126,000 gold
4500,000 gold626,000 gold
52,500,000 gold3,126,000 gold

Note that this information is from the alpha of The War Within. Prices may change before the release of the expansion.

von Cortyn

How much space does the bank offer? The Warband Bank offers 98 slots per slot, so unlocking all five slots gives you a solid 490 additional inventory slots that you can use for non-bound and account-bound items, such as crafting materials and equipment.

Do you really have to unlock everything? No. It’s not necessary to fully purchase all bank slots for the Warband. For many players, two or three slots should be completely sufficient to transfer most items between characters or to share crafting materials.

Only those who really want to store a lot of items will probably need all bank slots.

Many players have not noticed another change in WoW.

13 Best Mods from Nexusmods for Dragon’s Dogma 2

Here we present to you 13 mods for Dragon’s Dogma 2 that can enhance your gaming experience.

Item Tweaks – No Cost, No Weight, More Gold When Selling

Don’t want to deal with constant inventory management and weight issues? Want to be able to afford everything and not be a broke loser? Then take a look at the Item Tweaks mod. It lets you lower gold prices to 1, eliminate weight as a limiting factor, and quintuple your sales revenue.

Crazy’s Shop – The Store for the Perfect Start

If you want to start the adventure of Dragon’s Dogma 2 optimally, you should get this modification. Thanks to it, you can find a store in the first town Vernworth that provides you with the best consumables and Rift crystals without limitation. Even the golden beetles are available there, which increase your carrying capacity.

DD2 Save Manager

We already told you how you can remove the limitation of one save slot per account through a workaround. However, that is quite cumbersome. The DD2 Save Manager is more convenient, allowing you to manage an unlimited number of save games.

Better Beetles

By default, the golden glowbugs only increase your carrying capacity by 0.15 kg each. With this mod, you can increase the value to 1.05 kg, 12.15 kg, or even 105 kg. Weight problems are a thing of the past!

NPC’s Hairstyles for Awakened and Pawns

Some of the NPC residents of Dragon’s Dogma 2 have wonderful hairstyles that are not available to you in character creation. The NPC’s Hairstyles mod replaces some of the standard models from the character creator with hairstyles from Ulrika, Wilhelmina, and Disa.

Early Art of Metamorphosis

Among the paid DLCs of Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the Art of Metamorphosis, which allows you to change the appearance of your hero post facto. The Early N’ Cheap Art of Metamorphosis mod provides you with purchasable versions of the Art of Metamorphosis very early in the game – namely in the settlement of Melve and in the town of Vernworth.

Never Miss Seeker Tokens Again

If you’re on the lookout for the 240 Seeker tokens hidden throughout the world of Dragon’s Dogma, then get the Seeker’s Token Markers mod. This marks the locations of the inconspicuous items on your map.

Start video
Dragon’s Dogma 2 showcases action-packed battles with a new class in the new trailer

Finally Quiet from Applications

Are you also annoyed by all the random pawns trying to recruit you? With the Stop Selling Yourself modification, you can stop these annoying dialogues. However, if a pawn smiles at you right away, they can still be added to your group.

Infinite Stamina Outside of Combat

As soon as you leave a rest area, the stamina bar really holds you back. Even short sprints can tire out your hero. Are you tired of that? Do you want to sprint through the world without interruption?

Then get Infinite Stamina out of Combat. This mod ensures that you do not consume stamina even outside of towns or villages. A few exceptions: In battles, the resource remains important.

All Weapons for All Classes

Do you wish for more flexibility for your hero party and want to use weapons and armor regardless of your currently active class? This freedom is provided by the No Job Requirements mod. However, there is one downside: The skills remain limited to their classes. You cannot suddenly use Archmage spells as a warrior.

More Overview through Colorful Icons

The maps of Dragon’s Dogma 2 are actually quite beautiful, but the icons are colorless and hard to spot. Here, the Colorful Map Icons mod helps, which highlights all displays on the map with their own colors, greatly improving the overview.

Important Upgrade for Your Map

If you do not want to search for Golden Beetles, Seeker Tokens, and treasure chests painstakingly in the game world, then get the Arisen’s Almanac mod. With the tool, you unlock additional displays and symbols for your map.

Even More Beautiful Thanks to HD Mod

Dragon’s Dogma 2 already looks good in the vanilla variant, but it can get even nicer. The HD Texture Overhauls mod provides you with 2K and 4K textures for environmental graphics, characters, armor, monsters, and weapons.

These were my recommendations for 13 useful mods for Dragon’s Dogma 2. Surely there are other recommendable mods; this is just a subjective list of modifications that I personally like. The choice of mods depends on preferences that can certainly vary.

Which mods do you like to use in Dragon’s Dogma 2? Or are you rather skeptical about mods? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

The first EU server of Albion Online is live – with measures for the best possible starting experience

Karsten Scholz Karsten Scholz Reading time 3 minutes

The award-winning MMORPG Albion Online, which you can play among others on Steam, is known to come from Germany and has almost seven years under its belt. Nevertheless, believe it or not, the first server from Europe is only now being launched.

Update from April 30, 2024: Albion Europe, the first European server for Albion Online, is now open to all players. To ensure that the player experience is as frustration-free as possible at the beginning, the developers have implemented some measures.

These include an initially reduced size of the world, some items added to the marketplace, and restrictions on the black market. Details on these measures can be found in the official forum.

Update from April 25, 2024: The early access phase of the new European server for Albion Online has started. There will be no reset of your progress from now on. Those who have a founder’s pack for Albion Europe can start early – the cheapest option costs about 20 euros. The Free2Play release is scheduled for April 29, 2024.

The launch of the server is accompanied by a Twitch Drop campaign that runs until May 8, 2024, through which you can secure the Brown Alpaca. You can find more information about all this on the official website of the MMORPG from Germany.

What is so special about an EU server for Albion Online? The MMORPG comes from the German developer studio Sandbox Interactive, which is based in Berlin. The major release took place in July 2017 for PC, macOS, and Linux. Until now, there were only two servers: Albion West (located in the USA) and Albion East (which hosts the Asian adventurers).

On the official website of Albion Online, the developers have now announced that new servers for Europe and the MENA regions (Middle East and North Africa) will follow in April 2024. European players who have previously been on the West server will benefit from the following advantages on the new EU realm:

  • Significantly improved connection speeds as well as a better ping.
  • Event times optimized for Europe, such as faction wars or territory battles.
  • The opportunity to start anew on a freshly started server along with other players and build a community there.

As soon as the server Albion Europe goes live, the previous servers will be renamed: Albion West will become Albion America, and Albion East will be called Albion Asia.

Be sure to try Albion Online in April

What is the current state of Albion Online? Just in March 2023, the developers of Albion Online provided the server for Asia. A few weeks later, Sandbox Interactive could announce new player records. At times, more than 300,000 players were on the two worlds. With the additional realms, the numbers are expected to rise further.

The author of these lines had some reservations during a developer presentation many years ago (it must have been during Gamescom 2015): A sandbox MMORPG with a mobile version, free-to-play model, and colorful, rather simply held graphics? It didn’t look really appealing at first glance.

Since then, however, Albion Online has evolved into a fully-fledged online role-playing game, which the developers are expanding and improving with great enthusiasm. The reward for this creative achievement: the award with the German Video Game Award for Best Mobile Game in 2022.

And Albion Online is also fun on the PC. On Steam, the MMORPG currently earns a “Mostly Positive” rating – with 79 percent positive reviews. When the Europe-optimized server technology and better-suited event times arrive shortly, April will be the perfect time for all genre fans to check it out via Steam, Mobile, and more.

Stellar Blade: Solve easy puzzles and enter codes – Here’s how to do it

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Stellar Blade on PS5 there is the quest “Simple Puzzle” but it is not easy to solve. We will show you how to quickly complete the quest to secure your rewards.

How do I start the quest? To start the quest “Simple Puzzle”, you need to go to Xion and interact with the bulletin board there. The bulletin board will be marked on your map, so you don’t have to search the surroundings for an unknown location. Once you have interacted with the board, the quest will begin.

Start video
The action-adventure Stellar Blade shows the story trailer for PS5

This is how you find the solution for “Simple Puzzle”

How do I solve the simple puzzle? The quest is a puzzle that you need to solve in the form of a math problem. For the first step, head to the anteroom of the audience chamber and interact with the input panel there. The exact location will be marked on your map.

To solve the puzzle, you must understand the quest description, which lists many numbers. These are math problems, and the last one still needs to be solved:

  • 4@7@8 = 285684
  • 9@3@5 = 271542
  • 6@2@7 = 121426
  • 5@6@7 = ?

To get to the last result, you need to multiply the left digit by the middle one, and then multiply the middle one by the right digit. Finally, you add the results of the two multiplication tasks to get a third result. Now align all the results side by side to get the six-digit number you need for the code. For your understanding, again:

  • 5 x 6 = 30
  • 6 x 7 = 42
  • 30 + 42 = 72
    • The code is: 304272

The most important people in Fallout can be really nasty bastards – This is the Steel Brotherhood

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

The Steel Brotherhood plays an important role in the new series of Fallout on Amazon. However, who they are is never really explained. MeinMMO reveals what the mission of the Brotherhood of Steel actually is and where they come from.

Spoiler Warning: We cover topics from the Fallout series here. Although it mainly focuses on backgrounds, we cannot entirely avoid a quote or two.

In the Fallout series on Amazon, the main focus is on the vault dweller Lucy MacLean, played by Ella Purnell. However, during her journey through the wasteland, she encounters Maximus, a squire from the Brotherhood of Steel.

Maximus himself plays one of the leading roles in the series. You will learn how difficult it is for him as a squire in this strange brotherhood, what challenges he faces, and how tough decisions present him with hurdles.

What is only mentioned in passing, however, is the function of the Brotherhood itself. As a viewer, you only know three of the squires and two quite nasty members: Elder Quintus and Knight Titus, both quite obnoxious.

This only partially paints an accurate picture of the Brotherhood of Steel, which actually pursues a noble goal.

The official trailer for the Fallout series on Amazon in German

Collect pre-war tech to collect pre-war tech so that no one else can

What is the actual mission of the Brotherhood of Steel? Lucy asks Maximus at one point in the series something like: “Your brotherhood collects pre-war technology to look for pre-war technology so that it can prevent others from using pre-war technology?”.

This is somewhat exaggerated, but it does capture the essence of what the Brotherhood of Steel does. In the Fallout story, a great nuclear war between the USA and China has essentially led to the apocalypse.

The Brotherhood of Steel has made it their mission to collect blueprints and all sorts of technologies originating from before the war to preserve them safely. The goal: No one should have enough power to destroy the world a second time.

The trigger for this was experiments on humans sanctioned by the governments. Something the original Brotherhood of Steel could not come to terms with at all.

How did the Brotherhood actually come to be? The predecessors of the Brotherhood were supposed to oversee an experiment with the “Forced Evolutionary Virus”, short FEV, in 2076. With this virus, super soldiers were to be created. Veterans know them as super mutants from the games.

Since this violated all morals, Captain Roger Maxson and his crew decided to rebel. From them emerged the first Brotherhood of Steel, three days before the bombs fell.

After the nuclear strikes, Maxson, his troops, and their families built their new faction in old government bunkers. Other units were mobilized via satellite, and around the same time, the Brotherhood of Steel was founded throughout the wasteland.

The Brotherhood of Steel was one of the biggest expansions of Fallout 76:

“America has failed. Let us forge a Steel Brotherhood”

Why are these guys so brutal? The Brotherhood’s highest principle is – or more accurately: was – that dangerous knowledge must not fall into the wrong hands. Accordingly, it had to be secured by all means, even through the use of violence.

The Fallout series takes place over 200 years after the founding of the Brotherhood and after all Fallout installments, namely in the year 2296. Over time, various factions within the Brotherhood have developed, broadly categorized into:

  • those who continue to gather and secure knowledge
  • and members who primarily want to protect lives

And, as is often the case, at least in the first of these groups, there have always been black sheep who strive for more and not always for the good.

What is the state of the Brotherhood in the Fallout series? It’s hard to say exactly. The chapter of the Brotherhood in the series is apparently strongly connected to the Commonwealth.

Since the series takes place in Los Angeles, it is likely that the Brotherhood still orients itself strongly toward its origins there. Maxson also founded his Brotherhood in Lost Hills, California.

This aligns with the Elder’s desire for power. Quintus primarily wants knowledge for himself and to use it to gather and preserve more knowledge. Charity seems to be less important to him.

Helldivers 2 Acid Spitters elimination – This is how to find and crush them

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

In Helldivers 2 there are enemies called “Acid Spitters”. You can learn how they look and how to eliminate them on MeinMMO.

How can you recognize Acid Spitters?

  • Acid Spitters are large Terminites with a dark green body. This body is filled with corrosive acid, which is why they are very thick and look swollen.
  • In the swollen part of the body is the corrosive acid; it is essentially the acid reservoir of the beetle.
  • On the sides of the acid reservoir, where it is very extended due to the amount of acid inside, a bright yellow-green hue shines through.
  • Acid Spitters first appeared in the world of Helldivers 2 after toxic chemicals leaked from the E-710 farms.

Here you see a picture of the Acid Spitter:

Helldivers 2 Acid Spitter
This is what the Acid Spitters look like in Helldivers 2.

What can the Acid Spitter do? As the name suggests, the Acid Spitter can spit dangerous acid. It can accurately spit the corrosive substance at you from several meters away, causing noticeable damage.

However, since the body of the Acid Spitter is large, extended, and pumped full of acid, it moves only very slowly and sluggishly.

Eliminating Acid Spitters – How to Be Effective Pest Controllers

How should you fight against the Acid Spitter? Since the acid attack of the giant beetle can cause significant damage, you should keep moving when it prepares its attack. The attack occurs in a very straight line, so you can reliably dodge it by running in circles around the Acid Spitter. In case of doubt, you need to dodge with a roll.

At the lower difficulty levels, Acid Spitters do not have an armored exterior, so you can reliably defeat them with a shower of bullets to the face or a single shot from the disposable anti-tank weapon. The rocket launcher is also well suited for breaking the armor of a beetle. At higher difficulty levels, the front of the Acid Spitter is protected, and you will have to shoot the weak point at the back of the Terminite.

Beware: The Acid Spitter can explode if you kill it by shooting at its rear, the acid reservoir, and may damage you or your teammates with the acid that is spread as a result.

You should avoid using a flamethrower in the fight against the Acid Spitter. Behind the flames, it can be difficult to see if the Acid Spitter is preparing its attack. Also, you are not very mobile with the flamethrower, and the damage against the Acid Spitter is limited. It is quite possible that you will take an acid spit attack while you are happily setting the area on fire.

The Striker, another large Terminite, can also become the target of a daily task. Here you can learn how to best confront the armored adversary: Helldivers 2: Killing the Striker – How to Defeat the Creatures Solo

After 16 years, the creator of Navy CIS explains why he left the popular series

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

The series Navy CIS has been running since 2003. However, its creator left production after four seasons. Depending on whom you ask, you will receive different reasons for this.

Which series is it about? Navy CIS, commonly referred to as NCIS, is an American crime series that has been airing since 2003. So far, there are a total of 21 seasons.

The series tells of a group of investigators from the US Navy who solve various crimes. For many years, Mark Harmon played Jeroy Jethro Gibbs, who led his team.

Although the series is still running today, one of the two creators of the series was only involved for four seasons. After just five years, Donald P. Bellisario left the project. The reason for this remains unclear to this day.

Looking for more crime series? On MeinMMO we have some recommendations for you.

Two versions of the same story

Why did the production separate from its creator? Although NCIS has become a fixture in the American television landscape over the years, the production was anything but easy at the beginning.

And here could already lie the reason for the split from series creator Bellisario. The writer apparently had a rather idiosyncratic way of working. As executive producer Charley Floyd revealed, Bellisario discarded entire scripts just before filming.

The actors sometimes did not know what they would be playing next or what would happen to their character. The dialogues were also difficult to understand for some, which further hampered the work.

Particularly, lead actor Mark Harmon was disturbed by the circumstances. This led to differences between the two. According to producer Floyd, Harmon did not say that Bellisario had to leave the series, but he did apply pressure and called working with him “difficult”.

Subsequently, the production asked the series creator to step back. And eventually, that happened as well.

You can currently watch another crime series for free.

von Marie Friske

What does Bellisario say himself? If you ask the person concerned, the story sounds a little different. While the production likely thought it was best for the series to part ways with Bellisario, he cites a different reason for his departure.

It was simply time to do something else and move on. I had done enough for the show, so I left. It was my decision.

Donald P. Bellisario via jeuxvideo.com

So it sounds as if the conflict with the lead actor was not, at least for Bellisario, a reason for parting with the series. It also seems to have been voluntary. Despite everything, Bellisario retained his credit as Executive Producer in the credits.

By the way, NCIS has not suffered from this at all. In addition to the 21 seasons, there are further spin-offs which are set in Los Angeles, Hawaii, or Sydney, among other places.

The fascination for the series seems to continue to exist, even without the former creative mind behind it. The creator of Game of Thrones was also not entirely satisfied with how the related series ended.

„Manor Lords is THE building game of the future“ – German strategy expert explains what makes the Steam hit special

Sarah Sarah Reading time 3 minutes

Maurice Weber, a well-known German strategy expert on Twitch, is convinced that Manor Lords is the building game of the future. Why he believes this and what makes the game so special, we tell you on MeinMMO.

Who is the strategy expert? Maurice Weber is an editor at GameStar and a daily Twitch streamer since mid-2022. On Twitch, he wins the hearts of viewers with his relaxed, cheeky manner. In doing so, he has developed a distinctive preference for challenging strategy games.

What is Manor Lords?

  • Manor Lords is a strategy game.
  • It was developed by Slavic Magic and published by Hooded Horse.
  • Release was on April 26, 2024, on Steam.
  • It is currently still in Early Access.
  • The game has already received 89% positive reviews and was at times the most wished game on Steam.

What makes Manor Lords special? In the latest YouTube video from Maurice Weber, he describes Manor Lords as the “building game of the future” because it feels like the next evolutionary step for city-building and strategy games. He admits that the game, although it has already experienced a lot of hype, is still in Early Access and thus some content is missing.

However, he emphasizes that if the planned features are implemented as well as what is already in place, Manor Lords could become the best building game of all time.

“It is wonderful how detailed this game is at every corner.”

What positive things does Maurice say about the game? Maurice Weber says that you can build in this game in a completely organic way, without rigid square grids.

This allows for placing lovingly medieval villages in vast landscapes, which he particularly enjoys. He highlights that the buildings are constructed piece by piece, beam by beam, and that the construction process is beautifully designed. Maurice emphasizes: “It is wonderful how detailed this game is at every corner.”

Maurice is also pleased about the ability to wander through the village like in a third-person role-playing game. In doing so, one discovers the many details that have been incorporated into the game.

The streamer mentions that Manor Lords is a rather leisurely building game, which pleases him even more, as each milestone in the game becomes significant.

He also loves the freedom in expanding the buildings. He tells that you can upgrade almost every residential building in Manor Lords, for example with goat stables, vegetable gardens, or chicken coops. Later, you can even add artisan quarters, such as a brewery, a shoemaker, or a blacksmith.

Maurice mentions that the battles in Manor Lords are impressively animated and offer a versatile combat system, with different stances, troop morale, exhaustion, and friendly fire.

Unfortunately, there are still too few battles, which he notes critically. The community has also complained about this, but the developer has announced that the focus will continue to be on city building.

The game has a major weakness, thinks Maurice

What negative reports does he have? Maurice Weber not only highlights the positive aspects of Manor Lords in his video but also points out some weaknesses and bugs. For example, he shows clips where villagers walk through walls.

He also mentions that there are tools in the production chain that currently have no use. In the demo, they still had a function, but in Early Access, this aspect does not seem to be fully developed yet.

Despite these problems, Maurice emphasizes that the game is being actively developed. He himself played a review version before the official Early Access and reported some bugs that have since been fixed.

Alongside the minor bugs, Maurice points out a deeper weakness of the game: the waning tension. He explains that even at the highest difficulty level, only the beginning is challenging, and the tension greatly decreases later on. This could be a problem that needs more time to be resolved.

Also, Erik “Gronkh” Range, a well-known Twitch streamer, was able to play Manor Lords in advance and had a streak of bad luck that might even be useful for the developer.

“I’m already completely in love”

What conclusion does Maurice draw? In the conclusion of his video, Maurice Weber emphasizes that it is not a problem that Manor Lords does not have everything in Early Access yet. In his view, the game is already wonderful and provides a solid foundation for future content.

He looks forward to the developments that are yet to come, mentioning planned features such as AI opponent cities on the map, cavalry troops, as well as walls and castles. All these additions could provide more tension and long-term motivation.

Maurice stresses that the game is far from the end of its journey and that there is still plenty of room for growth. Despite the current weaknesses, Maurice Weber is already completely enthusiastic about Manor Lords and can hardly wait to follow the game’s journey further.

Steam: Lost Legions comes from Germany and lets you experience one of the greatest defeats of the Roman Empire

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 3 minutes

An indie studio from Berlin is currently working on a new survival game on Steam that will let you fight for survival in the Teutoburg Forest. A concept that might work well, but the graphics leave players skeptical.

Which game are we talking about here? Lost Legions is a new survival game on Steam from the indie studio Tarock Interactive, based in Berlin. There is no release date for the game yet, as the developments are still in the pre-alpha phase.

On the official Steam page, it states that Lost Legions is a historical exploration and survival game set in a handcrafted world that you can explore with up to 4 players. It will be played on player-hosted servers.

A first trailer already gives you a glimpse of the setting and the world of Lost Legions, where some might feel at home:

Start video
In Lost Legions you will become a Roman soldier in Germany

What is behind the concept? In Lost Legions, you take on the role of a Roman soldier fighting for survival in the Teutoburg Forest after the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. You are thus located in the year 9 AD in a forest in ancient Germania.

You have the choice between four playable characters, each with their own background. All NPCs in Lost Legions are also supposed to have their own detailed backstories and personalities.

As a legionnaire, you are not surprisingly not well-received in the Teutoburg Forest and lose everything you have due to a German ambush. After that, you must first learn to survive on what the forest offers you. As typical for a survival game, you will need to gather, chop down trees, and hunt to craft your initial weapons, gear, and tools.

Some of the core features of Lost Legions:

  • Multiple biomes with different animals, resources, and challenges.
  • Fights are based on your equipment and should therefore be carefully prepared.
  • You use different weapons with unique attacks, evasion maneuvers, and blocks.
  • You build Roman war camps or conquer enemy villages to redesign them according to your vision.
  • You receive new recipes from equipment left behind after the battle.
  • You can rescue NPCs and recruit them as new legionnaires. You can then send them to gather resources or discover interesting places.

In Lost Legions, you can expect an engaging story about betrayal and the struggle for survival. Topics such as colonialism and imperialism are to be addressed.

“Concept 10/10, Animations 3/10”

What criticism is there? Even though the concept and setting sound quite promising and could certainly work well, there is currently some criticism regarding Lost Legions. Especially under the trailer (via Tarock Interactive and IGN), one reads many comments criticizing the graphics and performance.

Here, the animations are particularly noted, and less the graphics of the environments or characters themselves. The character’s movements are said to look unfinished and not fluid. One user mentions that simply running with the character drops the framerate.

In general, many users simply note that the graphics look unfinished. “Is this pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha material?” asks user Alice.59. Since Lost Legions is indeed in the pre-alpha phase, it is not so unlikely that the graphics can still change and improve significantly.

User seanduncan9722 rates the concept with a 10 out of 10 but the animations only with a 3 out of 10, noting that they urgently need to be revised. In their response, the developers write: “[…] We are in the pre-alpha phase, so there is still a long way to go until release. Fortunately, animations are easier to improve than the concept.”

The developers seem to take the reactions seriously and may work on better animations in the future. Whether and how they succeed in doing so will remain to be seen.

The release of Lost Legions is still a long way off, but you can already look forward to the following games this year: 8 new survival games you can look forward to in 2024
