Pokémon MMO Temtem is not being developed further – CEO explains why they prefer to make a new game

Fabienne Kissel Fabienne Kissel Reading time 2 minutes

The MMO in the style of Pokémon, Temtem, will no longer be developed. Instead, the Spanish development studio CremaGames is focusing on a new game. The CEO now speaks about the reasons.

Instead of major updates for Temtem, CEO Enrique Paños from Crema announced that the development team is working on a new game – a co-op roguelike titled Temtem: Swarm.

This decision has divided opinions in the community, with some players curious about the new direction while others are disappointed. The CEO has now addressed the community.

Here you can take a look at the new game from CremaGames:

Why the MMO is focusing on a new game

What was said? In a detailed message from the CEO shared by Kikill0 (one of the developers) on Discord and later reposted on Reddit, it is emphasized that the community’s expectation of infinite content is unrealistic.

He states:

The community expects to add infinite content, which is time-consuming and costly, just because it bears the MMO label, but MMO does not mean infinite. It is compared to other MMOs, even though Crema has clarified since 2018 that it would not be like these MMOs. However, when compared to other MMOs, the small detail that these MMOs have a subscription model or are free with pay-to-win practices is forgotten. In that way, they are sustainable.

Kikill0 via Reddit

He also emphasized that Temtem already offers at least 50 hours of adventure and an additional 50 hours of side quests and various features that are not part of the adventure.

Moreover, he also apologized to the PvP community for the errors that occurred in the patches and stressed that measures are planned.

This realization likely led the development team to decide to focus on a new game rather than continue investing resources in the development of Temtem.

In conclusion, Kikill0 stated that Temtem will continue to be updated and improved, but not at the pace or scope desired by the players. He emphasized that Temtem has kept its promises and has even delivered more than expected.

He expressed understanding that the end result may not please all players, but pointed out that it is not possible to create infinite content or change the fundamentals of the game. The CEO thanked everyone and added that the new game Temtem: Swarm was developed with a lot of love.

What do you think about this? Are you excited for the roguelike or would you prefer more content for Temtem?

What happened to the AI that attracted thousands of viewers as a Twitch streamer and was then banned?

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

A Twitch streamer caused quite a stir at the end of 2022. Behind the girl is an artificial intelligence. What has become of the streamer who attracted thousands of viewers in just a few weeks?

The Twitch streamer Neuro-Sama made headlines in December 2022 among gamers. Behind the pretty virtual facade of a girl officially stands an artificial intelligence and not a real person, as is the case with so-called Vtubers.

But where does Neuro-Sama currently stand and how is the streamer doing in 2024?

Neuro-sama becomes an active personality in 2022, then faced her first ban

Who or what is Neuro-sama? Neuro-Sama is an AI, who appears as a Vtuber on Twitch. She has existed since 2019, but at that time she had no personality and had only one task: to win the rhythm game osu!

N.E.U.R.O. stands for “Non-Emotive Understanding and Reasoning Operation” and Sama stands for Samantha.

It became really exciting only on December 19, 2022. On that day, the AI was launched with its own personality that could interact with its viewers. By the way, this was initiated by a user named Vedal987. He describes himself as a “student with a special interest in AI”, and nothing official is known about him. This marked the start of the major breakthrough of the AI streamer on Twitch.

Why did this AI excite so many viewers? Vedal developed and adapted the personality himself. The AI uses so-called “large language models”: the artificial intelligence is trained with texts and thus has a broad knowledge base to draw from. At the same time, it can scour millions of responses on the internet to find out how to properly answer or react to a specific question. This makes her responses feel very natural and human-like.

The Twitch ban in early 2023: Just a few weeks later, in early January 2023, the AI streamer received a ban. Allegedly, it was due to controversial statements regarding the Holocaust and execution methods. Time and again, trolls try to manipulate the AI with information or questions to make it say strange things.

After the ban, AI streamer returns, ranked among the most viewed female streamers by the end of 2023

What happened next? The creator “Vedal” announced that the AI streamer would return. But in a changed and adapted form so that there would not be any more issues or even another ban.

About two weeks later, on January 25, 2023, Neuro-Sama returned to Twitch and immediately gained 100,000 followers.

Over the past months, “Neuro-Sama” significantly increased her number of viewers and followers. On September 1, 2023, the streamer reached 400,000 followers. Her videos regularly reach more than 500,000 viewers on Twitch. However, there are also videos that receive only a few thousand clicks.

Another milestone was reached by Neuro-Sama in December 2023: She was among the 10 most viewed female Twitch streamers. She ranked 5th with over 361,000 viewed hours, even surpassing the well-known Twitch streamer Emiru (339,000 hours).

The success was partly due to a “Birthday Subathon” that took place for a week in December and was reported to be very successful.

neurosama twitch 2023
By the end of 2023, Neuro-Sama was among the 10 most viewed female Twitch streamers. Here at position 5.

In 2024, the AI streamer has not streamed for a minute, yet reaches 500,000 followers

What is the current situation? Currently (as of February 2024), the streamer is on a break from Twitch. The creator stated on Twitter that he is currently raising a (robot) dog and therefore has no time. He at least posted a picture of the robot on Twitter.

However, it is quite likely that the AI will stream again in 2024. After all, the streamer surpassed 500,000 followers in January 2024, and the creator is also very successful with merchandise products related to Neuro-Sama.

The last major action taken by Neuro-Sama was shortly before Christmas: Here, the streamer and her developer accidentally gave away millions of plush toys. You can read all about how the situation unfolded directly on our site MeinMMO:

Bungie bans one of the best and most renowned players from Destiny 2

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

That players get banned in Destiny 2 is common, but this time it has hit one of the most illustrious among them. According to his own statements, he was banned unjustly, for a very peculiar reason.

Who is it about? The “Destiny 2” pro Cruz is known to many players. He is among the best and most illustrious players of the game and has completed 4 World Firsts, among other achievements. World Firsts refer to the first completions of new, difficult content. Cruz was also invited to events by “Destiny 2” developer Bungie.

However, the pro has now been hit hard, as his account was banned in Destiny 2, along with his achievements.

Here you can see the most epic moments of the saga of Light and Darkness.

Start video
Destiny 2: The Most Epic Moments of the Light and Darkness Saga

Pro allegedly banned for cheating in another game

Why was he banned? Initially, Cruz thought he had been banned because of a build he advised his followers against in a tweet. However, according to Bungie, he was banned for a program that attempted to access the game’s memory. The program was recognized as a “cheat program” by the Destiny 2 anti-cheat system, leading to the player’s ban. 

Did Cruz cheat in Destiny 2? According to his own statements, Cruz may have had cheating software running for the strategy game Total War: Shogun 2. With it, he wanted to cheat some money – similar to entering motherlode in Sims. 

Although he claims to have closed the program, it likely continued running in the background and was detected by Destiny 2’s anti-cheat system, or so he suspects. 

What does Cruz say about it? Cruz has been permanently banned and cannot submit another unban request. On X (formerly Twitter), he expressed his emotions.

You simply can’t make this up, man. Given that I’ve described the program in detail and what it is intended for (no changes to files or inputs related to gaming), this is UNBELIEVABLE! Well played, guys, the [ban] was real, but this is something I can’t respect. No discussion … just a simple statement that they are claiming the truth.

von Dariusz Müller

How is the community reacting? The community is very upset about the ban on X (formerly Twitter). Cruz, who has been playing the game for 10 years, seems credible to users. Some also feel that they should focus on dealing with real cheaters instead of banning someone for this.

AboveTP writes: “I’m so sorry, buddy … hopefully this will be resolved one way or another.”

Alex_cammarato writes: “They can’t recognize people who are flying hacking and using infinite ammunition for Xenophage, but they ban people who have mods for Total War running in the background. This game is so twisted.”

VibeOCE writes: “The fact that it’s easier to buy hacks from a website and not get banned these days is crazy to me.

A 4-time champion who has a program that helps you with the economy in a real-time strategy game must get banned. They really outdid themselves.”

Do you find the ban justified or are you on the side of Bungie, whose anti-cheat system detected the program? Feel free to let us know in the comments. Recently, a player wanted to prove that Blizzard has no customer service at all and set a trap for it.

The chef behind Elden Ring has ensured that even the toughest among you will despair at the new bosses of the DLC

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

Hidetaka Miyazaki, the mastermind behind the creation of the Souls genre, revealed news about the upcoming DLC for Elden Ring “Shadow of the Erdtree” in an exclusive interview with IGN. We present you the key details.

What kind of interview was it? On February 21, shortly after FromSoftware released the new gameplay trailer for the upcoming DLC “Shadow of the Erdtree”, IGN unveiled an extensive interview (via ign.com) with the great mind behind Elden Ring, Hidetaka Miyazaki.

The interview revolved around important information regarding the DLC – such as the size of the map, the difficulty of the bosses, and what players can expect at release. The most interesting aspect here are mainly the bosses that fans of the game will have to grapple with.

If you have been concerned about their difficulty, we can reassure you – the bosses will be challenging.

Optional bosses are trimmed similarly to Malenia

What does Hidetaka Miyazaki say about the bosses? In the interview with IGN authors Mitchell Saltzman and Hidetaka Miyazaki, the question was raised about how the team behind the DLC has adjusted the difficulty and thus the bosses in the game. Two years post-release, many players would have a high level and possess the best equipment. Hidetaka answered this question as follows:

Our overall approach to difficulty in Elden Ring has, of course, not changed. We want to create a challenging experience that tests the players and gives them a sense of satisfaction and achievement when they overcome these challenges. However, we want to emphasize that there is still a certain approach and a broad variety of strategies involved in these encounters. […] The same philosophy is adopted in Shadow of the Erdtree. And again for our hardcore players: You will find optional bosses that have been adjusted in a similar way to Malenia, which you surely remember from the base game and which are not essential.

The relevant bosses in the DLC are constructed just like those from the base game – challenging, but doable. If they are too hard, you can return later and try your luck again. The optional bosses are meant for the tough warriors among you.

However, Miyazaki clarifies that you should not expect a new Malenia. This boss is and remains one of the hardest bosses of the franchise, but the optional bosses are still meant to be difficult and, above all, just as memorable as Malenia herself.

So, we have to wait and see how the team behind the upcoming DLC has created the bosses and what weapons they will take into battle against the Tainted. Either way, fans will have a long battle with the bosses, as one is accustomed to in Souls games from FromSoftware.

Are there any more important updates from the interview? The interview also revealed hints about the map. Its size is said to be equal to, if not larger than, the starting area “Limgrave”.

The map is supposed to offer more content in terms of quantity, providing many smaller and larger dungeons. These will also have bosses and items that you can loot, just like in the base game.

Moreover, Hidetaka confirms that the team currently has no plans for a second DLC. Shadow of the Erdtree could thus be the first and last DLC for Elden Ring. Whether a sequel to Elden Ring will be released, Hidetaka has also left open.

What do you think about the bosses? Has the trailer already sparked your excitement for the upcoming DLC, or are you waiting for feedback from the community? Let us know in the comments!

Diablo 4: Which class is best for playing solo?

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

Diablo 4 cannot be played offline. So, when you’re out and about in Sanctuary, you frequently encounter other players. Playing in groups is fun, but playing alone also has its charm. Therefore, we want to know from you which class is the best for solo play.

In Diablo 4, there are currently five different classes that play fundamentally differently:

  • Barbarians focused on melee combat and weapons
  • Druids who wield nature magic and can transform
  • Hunters who fight with bows, poison, and daggers
  • Necromancers with their undead companions
  • Wizards who use the elements for destructive magic

To help you find the right class for you, we have created a separate article as guidance: Which class suits me? An overview of all 5 classes with builds & gameplay. You can read in our article about the best classes and builds in the current endgame which advanced builds lead our tier list in the current third season.

Playing Diablo 4 alone? Vote: Which class is best suited?

Blizzard sees the shared open world as an essential feature of Diablo 4 that they do not want to give up. You always have people around you whom you can take along for dungeon runs or boss fights. Sometimes, however, you may not feel like it and just want to hack through the game alone.

We now want to know from you which class is the best for such a “solo run”? Cast your vote here:

Of course, we are also interested in why you favor this class. Feel free to write us in the comments what makes this particular class the best for you. Please also let us know if you have a specific build you favor or if there are items without which you would never want to go alone.

If you say that you always play with others, we also find that interesting. We recently reported on such a player: Players are happy about generous strangers in Diablo 4: “I get more from randoms than from my clan”

Twitch streamer without a driver’s license transfers car for 290,000 € to his girlfriend – she is now selling it

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyl bought a luxury car in 2021, a McLaren 720S Spider Coupe. Since he did not have a driver’s license, he registered the car in his then-girlfriend Adept’s name. Two years and one ugly breakup later, he apparently regrets it: Adept has now sold the car.

This was the story back then:

  • xQc flexed in front of his viewers in December 2021 with a new car. At that time, xQc was on a high, had extremely high earnings on Twitch.
  • At that time, he decided to “treat himself”. When he saw the car, it clicked for him. He planned to get his driver’s license eventually.
  • At the time, his heated on-off relationship with the streamer Adept, which often had its ups and downs, was just on “On”. Nevertheless, there was much discussion when it came out that he had registered the car in her name. For xQc, however, it was just a formality.

Ugly breakup between Adept and xQc

When did things get difficult? Eventually, there was an ugly, publicly fought breakup between xQc and Adept.

Adept stated that she and xQc were married under the laws of the state of Texas because they had lived in a common-law relationship. She sued xQc in a divorce proceeding.

xQc denied this and portrayed it as if Adept was only trying to profit financially from him after the breakup. According to xQc, they were never married. He said the relationship failed when he was feeling down and he had the impression that Adept was now after his money.

Adept had already threatened during the breakup to sell the sports car, which legally belonged to her. She also made allegations against xQc of sexual harassment.

However, this backfired, and ultimately the court also dismissed the divorce case. xQc triumphed.

Adept has apparently sold the car

This was the situation in February 2024: In February 2024, rumors increased that Adept was having financial troubles and planned to sell items belonging to xQc.

However, xQc’s lawyers supposedly obtained a court order on February 20 that protects xQc’s “possessions” (via dexerto).

This is the latest development: Someone actually contacted xQc on Twitter and told him, supported by photos, that he had bought the McLaren from Adept.

However, xQc believes that he is in the right here and that Adept unlawfully sold the car, against the court order he obtained, which prohibits her from selling the car.

The streamer repeatedly says his famous phrase “It is what it is” and apparently believes that Adept has gotten herself into legal trouble here and that he will get the car back through legal means.

As xQc explains, he was offered to buy the car back, but he will not do so. The legal proceedings are ongoing, and he feels justified in that.

This is how it’s being discussed: The discussion about xQc and his wealth is very charged, as many fans of xQc now demonize Adept and portray her as a gold digger who is only after money. It is said that she also demanded a settlement of $2 million from xQc.

Adept, in turn, accuses xQc of having treated her poorly in the relationship and has repeatedly hinted that she feels cheated by xQc.

Overall, this is a very complicated and unfortunate situation.

Marvel snaps away the new supervillain who was supposed to replace Thanos

Marie Friske Marie Friske Reading time 2 minutes

Jonathan Majors, the actor of supervillain Kang was found guilty in court. After Marvel already fired him, the company is now reportedly taking further steps to limit the character’s influence on the comic universe even more.

Just like Thanos erased the heroes with a snap in Avengers 3: Infinity War, Marvel is reportedly also trying to erase Kang from their universe as much as possible.

Why does Marvel want to get rid of Kang? The actor Jonathan Majors was found guilty of violent assaults against his ex-girlfriend in court.

Just a few hours after the verdict, Marvel announced the end of the actor’s MCU career: Jonathan Majors was fired.

You can watch a trailer for the last Avengers movie featuring the villain Thanos here:

Avengers 5 may receive a new title

According to sources from The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel now wants to clean up the whole situation with Jonathan Majors.

They are already rewriting the films that were supposed to feature the villain Kang, either to completely remove the character from the scripts or at least reduce his influence.

Additionally, the 5th and latest Avengers film was set to be released under the title Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. However, according to reports, they will also choose a new name here to remove the character from it as well.

However, the title change was reportedly not made solely because of the court verdict. Even before it was announced, they had already begun to minimize the character’s presence after Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania, which was the first major film with Kang, performed poorly.

Insider report reveals the player numbers of Skull and Bones – Even the developers understand the low interest

Christoph Waldboth Christoph Waldboth Reading time 2 minutes

Ubisoft’s pirate game Skull and Bones is currently falling short of expectations. An insider report now reveals how many people are playing the game. The reasons for the low numbers even come from the developers themselves.

How is Skull and Bones performing? The release of the game was on February 16, 2024. Since then, both critics and players have been able to form an impression.

On Metacritic, things don’t look particularly bright at the moment. The meta score is at 61 points, and the user score is 3.6.

What are the player numbers? An insider report (via inside-gaming.com) brings some light into the darkness. According to the source, Skull and Bones currently has around 850,000 players in total. This also includes those who haven’t purchased the game but are trying the demo version.

The free demo is quite extensive with eight hours of gameplay. According to the report, many players are relatively engaged and play between three and four hours a day.

The only question is whether this will change when the demo expires and players have to pay the full price of 70 euros.

A major issue may be the price

What could be the reasons for the low player numbers? The elephant in the room is probably the high price of the game. Ubisoft charges “only” 59.99 € for Skull and Bones on PC, but on PS5 and Xbox, the game costs a hefty 79.99 €.

All this for a game that might work better with a free-to-play model. Ubisoft has already commented on the price, calling Skull and Bones a AAAA game.

However, the price is also controversial within the developer studio. One employee expressed it as follows:

I think we all know this is at best a $30-$40 game, but it’s not within our control to determine these things.

Anonymous employee via insider-gaming.com

Earlier reports already indicated that the game has cost a lot to produce, estimated at $200 million, during a ten-year development period. Thousands of employees worked in 11 different studios on Skull and Bones. This led to repeated delays in the schedule and creative direction changes. At least Ubisoft solved an annoying problem right before the release.

Currently, there are probably still some players busy with the demo. It remains to be seen how many of them will be convinced and then ready to pay the full price.

On Reddit, players aren’t holding back with their opinions:

  • “70 dollars for this crap. If you want to play Skull and Bones, better play Assassin’s Creed Black Flag or Sea of Thieves,” writes smolgote.
  • “I mean, they forgot to release half the game. There’s no treasure hunting, no dueling (melee and gun combat), no boarding enemy ships, no explorable land…” says thenewredhoodie.
  • “Just wait, the game will be great in 2-3 years,” writes JamesLikesIt ironically.

The coming days and weeks will show how Skull and Bones continues to be received by players. The German streamer Maurice Weber has already made his judgment.

Nightingale: Players want exactly one thing – and the developers deliver

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The complaints about Nightingale have helped. The developers are giving fans what they want: a mode that does not require an internet connection.

A few days ago, the early access for Nightingale started. And although many are already having fun, it is still overshadowed by one circumstance: The controversial “Always Online” requirement demands players to be constantly connected to the internet. This not only affects the ratings on Steam but also significantly reduces the gaming enjoyment.

However, the developers have now clarified: In the future, this will no longer be necessary, and they are working on a new mode.

Start video
This Is Nightingale – Extended Gameplay Overview

What is the problem? Nightingale currently requires all players to be permanently connected to the internet and the game servers. Even when they want to explore completely alone and without other players. Even when playing solo, one must be online at all times.

This is additionally complicated by the fact that there are still frequent server overloads and thus disconnects. Even when one is out on their own, the connection can break, and they get kicked from the game.

Nightingale Discord Quote Offline Mode
The two announcements from the Nightingale Discord.

What was said? In the game’s Discord, Inflexion announced that they are now “prioritizing” the development of an offline mode and are working on it. More specifically, it says:

We have seen a lot of discussion in recent days around our decision to make Nightingale in early access a “online-only” game. We understand that this can be frustrating for several reasons.

Our vision for the game from the beginning was to create an interconnected series of realms, with the idea of cooperative exploration – a universe that is larger than a single realm or server. This meant that we had to make an early decision in development: to support coop on Day 1 or to develop an offline mode.

Cooperative gameplay, connected with a group of members across multiple realms, was the technically challenging problem, and so we tackled that first. Looking back now, we underestimated what some of you are looking for in your [game] experience.

We are prioritizing and developing an offline mode that we want to release as soon as possible. […]

This, by the way, does not mean that work on other content will stop. In response to this concern, they further stated:

Regarding our recent announcement: The development of the offline mode does not mean that we will stop or deprioritize the development of regular features, updates, quality-of-life improvements, or bug fixes.

We also understand the concerns about how offline players can potentially impact online players. We will address these concerns in a future update when we finalize the exact details of the mode.

When will it come? There is no release timeframe yet. However, one should keep an eye out for news in the “coming weeks” where other content currently being worked on by the developers will also be discussed.

Some fans, however, also note that the “Always Online” requirement may not be so bad once the game is running smoothly and disconnects become a rarity.

For everyone who is bothered by this or simply does not have a consistently reliable internet connection, the announcement of a pure offline mode is, however, a good thing that cannot come soon enough.

Have you already checked out Nightingale? Or are you also waiting for a mode without online requirements?

Diablo 4: Blizzard hints that the best feature from Season 2 will return soon

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard will soon deliver new information about upcoming features in Diablo 4. Players are particularly likely to perk up about one of them.

What’s going on in Diablo 4? Blizzard has announced the next “Campfire Chat” for February 29 at 8:00 PM. Members of the development team will discuss new content for the “Season of the Construct,” which runs from January 2024.

According to the announcement, this includes:

  • Tests and challenges
  • A weekly rotating dungeon

Additionally, the developers want to talk about leaderboards and balance updates, as well as a point that might appeal to fans of Season 2: “bloodthirsty powers that are honing their return.” In the English version, it’s referred to as “bloodthirsty powers.”

This raises hopes that the popular “Vampiric Powers” will return to Diablo 4.

Start video
Diablo 4: The gameplay trailer for Season 3

What are Vampiric Powers in Diablo 4?

The Vampiric Powers were the major mechanic of the second season of Diablo 4.

To obtain them, you had to unlock them by using “Powerful Blood” from boss fights, completing certain missions, or leveling up on the hunter’s glory board.

As a reward, there were various “Vampiric Powers” that could grant you significant bonuses. These included abilities like metamorphosis, which allowed you to build one of the best builds in Season 2.

However, with the end of Season 2, the Vampiric Powers also left, and those who had gotten used to them now had to adapt for Season 3.

Now we can only hope that the farewell was not permanent. Whether, when, and in what form the Vampiric Powers will actually return remains to be seen, but it should be clarified during the developer talk on February 29. As always, we will keep you updated.

Nvidia disables GeForce Experience for graphics cards – What you need to know about the new Nvidia app

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

Nvidia is saying goodbye to GeForce Experience as software for its graphics cards. With the Nvidia App, a successor has been found. We are telling you what you need to know about the switch.

The most important points at a glance: With the new Nvidia App, there are plenty of changes if you currently have an Nvidia graphics card in your computer. The key changes include:

  • Redesigned interface (UI): All information should now be available on a unified platform.
  • No registration is required anymore. This means you can use the software without logging in.
  • New in-game overlay and simplified settings through the control center.
  • Support for Shadowplay with 120 FPS, RTX HDR, and RTX Dynamic Vibrance.

When will the changes take effect? You can now download the beta of the Nvidia App. This will remove “GeForce Experience” from your computer. Currently, the software is still in beta but will eventually replace the old software “GeForce Experience”.

Download Beta: You can download the beta of the new Nvidia App directly from Nvidia.

New Control Center and Interface

The NVIDIA App integrates the game settings from GeForce Experience and the 3D settings of the NVIDIA Control Panels into a unified interface. This is intended to save time and especially many clicks in the future so that you no longer have to navigate through various menus.

Additionally, you can customize settings for each application individually or use a global profile for all games and applications.

Improved Update and Software Information

A frequently expressed wish from users, according to Nvidia, was for players to quickly find out what is included in the latest driver updates. This is exactly what the new information is supposed to ensure. All current information should now be visible with just a few clicks. Updating the software should also be easier and faster now.

Redesigned In-Game Overlay

The in-game overlay has been thoroughly revamped and now offers faster access to important features. With the key combination Alt+Z, you can now quickly access functions. Additionally, screenshots and recorded videos should now be available faster. Nvidia has thoroughly redesigned the menu, and all features are now in a customizable area on the left side of the screen.

For this reason, Nvidia has revamped the Shadowplay tool and now offers recordings at up to 120 FPS. Shadowplay is integrated software that allows you to record gameplay videos in high resolution, take screenshots, and live stream them, as well as share them.

Improved Performance Panel

Using the key combination Alt + R, the performance monitoring menu is now called up, and you can customize the displayed information through the new overlay. In the future, you will be able to display almost all conceivable data regarding your graphics card and your remaining hardware. This includes, among other things:

  • GPU Utilization
  • GPU Temperature
  • GPU Clock
  • GPU Voltage
  • GPU Fan Speed
  • VRAM Clock

Players of Helldivers 2 do not want the best weapons to be nerfed: “Stop asking for nerfs”

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

In Helldivers 2, players discuss whether the strongest weapons – the Railgun and the Breaker – need a nerf or if all other weapons require a buff.

In Helldivers 2, you have various weapons and tactical gear at your disposal. Some of them are explosive but less powerful, while others dominate the tier list of the best weapons. In brief: Some excel in firepower, while others stand out due to their special effects.

This has led to a portion of the community discussing the balancing of the cooperative shooter just a few weeks after release. While some call for nerfs for strong weapons, others want buffs for weaker ones.

Helldivers 2 Announce Trailer PS5 PC

Weapon Balancing in Helldivers 2 – The Community is Divided

What do players say about the balancing? Reddit user “soloman-romero” addressed the Helldivers 2 community with clear words, demanding: “Stop asking for nerfs.” Instead, he would prefer buffs for the underpowered weapons, rather than weakening the strong ones (via Reddit).

The user picks up on demands from the player base of the cooperative shooter, who are already wishing for certain weapons and gear to be weakened just weeks after release. For instance, the Railgun, the Breaker shotgun, and the shield generator backpack are significantly stronger than their alternatives, making them indispensable for the best loadout.

The call to stop asking for nerfs received over 5,100 upvotes in just one day. Many players also agreed in the comments. One user stated that at the highest difficulty level, he wishes for “even bigger guns with even more firepower” (via Reddit).

Additional comments on the topic:

  • ProfiAd2203 via Reddit: “Don’t nerf the Railgun, buff the other anti-tank options.”
  • itsmehonest via Reddit: “Since it’s a PvE game, can we all agree that only buffs are needed, not nerfs, right?”
  • jeffQC1 via Reddit: “I’m not suggesting nerfing the SG-225 Breaker; all other weapons should be buffed […]. Basically, all weapons need to be able to compete with it.”

When it comes to nerfs, the shield generator backpack and the Railgun are primarily mentioned. Players on social media are already proposing ways to partially weaken them:

  • ChineseCosmo via Reddit: “Currently, the shield generator backpack is too good not to use, which isn’t really healthy for the state of the game. An even bigger problem is that it’s somewhat mindless. You just put it on and forget it.”
  • farmermarinarina via Reddit: “I feel like the Railgun is too OP at the moment. It makes other anti-tank options somewhat redundant. It doesn’t require a backpack or another person to be effective, like the recoil-free rifle or the spear. It can destroy large parts of armor with just two shots. It can be reloaded while moving and is very fast.”

Whether Arrowhead wants to implement buffs or nerfs to the weapons and tactical gear of Helldivers 2 anytime soon remains to be seen. Currently, the developers are very busy getting the servers up and running: Players want more servers in Helldivers 2, but the head says: ‘It’s not a matter of money’

The beta of WoW The War Within is not live yet, but Blizzard already says: Sorry, we are changing that

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Even before the beta launch of the new expansion of World of Warcraft, Blizzard is listening to the players. A hero talent tree is being significantly changed.

With the upcoming expansion “The War Within”, a new major chapter begins in the story of World of Warcraft. However, there will also be some changes to the classes, as all classes will gain access to new additional talent trees. Some of these “hero talents” have already been introduced by Blizzard in advance. However, feedback from the community for one of these trees was so negative that they thanked for the feedback and promised: Improvements will be made.

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

What did Blizzard say? A few weeks ago, the developers introduced the “Oracle” tree for Holy and Discipline Priests. The feedback from players, however, was quite dissatisfied, which is why Blizzard wrote in the official WoW forum:

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the Oracle talent tree.

One of our goals is to share these hero talents as early as possible so that we have enough time to evaluate and make changes if necessary. After reading your feedback, discussing the talent tree, and playing the concept internally, we have decided to take another look at the Oracle tree, especially regarding replacing Soul of Power.

What was the problem with the Oracle tree? There was a lot of criticism from fans, and especially among priests, there seemed to be a relative consensus that the Oracle talent tree would not really play well. The most common criticisms were:

Replacing Soul of Power with a new effect feels wrong. Soul of Power is simply too strong to be exchanged. This makes the talent tree feel like a poor choice right away.

The new spell had 3 different effects that occur in a time-based rotation. This complicates cooldown management even further and discourages even more people from playing priests at all.

von Cortyn
WoW: World First! Team Liquid takes the victory, this time really
von Cortyn

What will Blizzard change? What exactly the developers want to change is still not entirely clear. They only pointed out that they will revise the talent tree again, “especially regarding the replacement of Soul of Power.” That at least suggests that Soul of Power will probably not be replaced in the future.

Whether the random element of the spell, in which the granted buff changes every few seconds, will also be removed remains to be seen.

Palworld: You should not feed your Pals with berries if you want them to work as effectively as possible

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

If you’re having trouble with your Pal always being sick in Palworld, it might be due to the food. A TikToker has now explained how to keep your Pals in top health.

Why shouldn’t you feed the Pals berries? In a TikTok video, the creator LaokiTV explains why you should not feed your Pals berries. When you feed the Pals raw berries, they do not receive GEI back. GEI is the value of your Pals’ health. If it is at 100 %, your creatures are doing well. However, if it drops to 0, your creatures will not work anymore. 

The raw berries do not give any GEI back, which is why you should remove them from your Pals’ diet. But the right food is not the only reason why your Pals get sick.

In this video about Palworld, you can see how to get a super fast ground mount.

Start video
Palworld: Here you will find a super fast ground mount

Three things ensure efficient Pals

How do you ensure that the Pals work well? For the Pals to work well, they must be at 100 % GEI. This also prevents the Pals from getting sick, so you don’t have to spend your work or money on medicine.

The first thing that provides GEI, as mentioned above, is the food. You should at least use cooked berries. The cooked berries provide 1 GEI. This means your Pals heal themselves when they consume them. 

There are many different dishes in Palworld; the better the dish, the more your Pals heal, and they also stay full longer, which avoids tedious trips to the feeding trough.

What else can be done to improve the condition of the Pals? To improve your Pals’ condition even further, you can build two different things. First, the luxurious fountain, where your Pals can sit to heal themselves. 

The more you set up, the more Pals can heal themselves at the same time. The luxurious fountain is better than the normal fountain, which still works if you haven’t unlocked the better one yet.

Additionally, you can build your Pals a better bed. Right at the start of the game, you unlock the straw bed for your companions. Later in the game, there is also a better bed for your Pals that allows them to regenerate more GEI overnight.

You can watch TikToker LaokiTV’s tips about GEI here.

https://www.tiktok.com/@laokitv/video/7332944349694545184?_r=1&_t=8k5oDPfVoRM

Those playing on a server have bad luck

What is the problem with the server? In the comments under LaokiTV’s TikTok video, users are gathering to report about sick Pals. They say that no matter what they do, every day after logging in, the Pals are sick again. This is especially the case after a server restart.

Palworld 1.0 is coming in 2026, but the developers advise: It’s best to delete everything you’ve built in the last 2 years
von Ody

UMAR writes under the video: “So, on rented servers, there are still problems, right? I gave them grilled berries, but the next day, sick, hungry, and no GEI.”

Players on servers should also try the tricks. However, if you, like the users in the TikTok comments, have no success with them, you will just have to wait for an update.

How the new games Nightingale and Last Epoch perform at launch on Twitch

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

This week, two new online games entered the battle for new players and the eyes of viewers on Twitch. The survival game Nightingale launched on February 20. The hack’n slash Last Epoch released on February 21. The amazing thing: one of the top players on Twitch, Michael “shroud” Grzesiek (29), is leading in both games.

How did Nightingale perform? The EA survival game has settled at number 12 among average players for the last 3 days, between Helldivers 2 and Minecraft. That’s a solid, but not a dominant start on Twitch at launch.

At its peak, Nightingale was able to attract 264,811 viewers, which is enough for 7th place.

Start video
This Is Nightingale – Extended Gameplay Overview

Who are the key streamers? Shooter specialist shroud easily won Nightingale. He showcased the game for 11 hours and peaked at almost 31,000 viewers.

It can be seen that Twitch has now significantly veered away from gaming and into the direction of ‘Just Chatting’ and reaction streams. Many big streamers no longer dive into new games. Well-known variety streamers like shroud, LIRIK, and CohhCarnage keep the flags flying. They were also leading in the last releases of Skull and Bones and Helldivers.

In Germany, Gronkh clearly leads ahead of Shlorox and Dhalucard, both of whom have invested significantly more hours in Nightingale than the veteran.

Diablo Experts Dominate Last Epoch

How did Last Epoch perform? For Last Epoch, the average numbers are harder to measure because the game has been on Twitch for ages, but only had its full release on February 21.

However, Last Epoch was able to narrowly outshine Nightingale in peak viewers, reaching 266,419 viewers, which is almost 2,000 more.

Start video

Who are the leading streamers? Last Epoch is won by hack’n slash expert Quin69, the pride of New Zealand. He is also leading in related games like Path of Exile.

However, shroud is also closely following, having spent 7 hours in Last Epoch.

In 3rd place is Raxxanterax, who has racked up 40 hours in Last Epoch in the last 3 days. He had already said half a year ago that he was leaving Diablo 4 and playing Last Epoch.

In Germany, Diablo 4 expert jessirocks is in first place, ahead of Maurice Weber.

What does shroud say about Last Epoch? The elite gamer says that Last Epoch reminds him strongly of Path of Exile: he likes everything about the game, except the quests. He could easily do without them.

Exactly on the questing he could also do without in Path of Exile; he simply does not like that.

Last Epoch and Nightingale Are the Most Successful New Games on Twitch After Palworld

How did the games perform compared to other releases in 2024? In terms of peak numbers on Twitch, Last Epoch and Nightingale are now number 2 and 3 among new games released in 2024.

The top spot with 434,200 concurrent viewers is held by Palworld. In 4th place follows the German Enshrouded.

Helldivers 2 has overcrowded servers – New patch aims to eliminate a major cause

Marie Friske Marie Friske Reading time 2 minutes

Helldivers 2 is so popular that the servers are completely overloaded with the numerous players. However, with the new patch, a new feature has been integrated to help ensure that AFK players no longer clog up the game.

Helldivers 2 is an extremely successful co-op shooter on Steam and PS5. However, the massive influx led to full servers, leaving many players unable to join the game without long wait times.

Once players finally made it into the game, many apparently did not want to give up their spot.

As a result, many stayed AFK in Helldivers 2 for hours or even entire days, just to avoid getting stuck in a queue again.

Here you can see a trailer for Helldivers 2:

Helldivers 2 Announce Trailer PS5 PC

New patch frees the servers from AFK players

However, a new update is now set to counter this strategy and kick absent players out of Helldivers 2 after a certain period of inactivity to create more room for those who are actually playing.

What kind of update is this? On February 22, 2024, patch 1.000.11 was released for Helldivers 2, which brought various fixes. The patch notes were fully published on Steam.

Among the problem resolutions, there is also a feature that kicks players from the game to the title screen if they have been inactive for more than 15 minutes.

This addresses player feedback as such a feature had been requested multiple times within the community.

What else did the patch bring? Additionally, there are further bug fixes and crash resolutions. For example, crashes should be prevented when players enter another’s ship or when exiting the aiming perspective.

Also, a problem where certain online missions were not selectable on the “Galactic War” map will be resolved by the update.

Furthermore, issues that occurred in conjunction with GameGuard and the Windows Firewall have also been addressed.

Steam: A construction game aims to convincingly demonstrate itself for the full release, now already with 97% positive ratings

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 2 minutes

A popular building game on Steam plans to release fully by the end of the year. Until then, the developers are working on transitioning to Unreal Engine 5.

Which game is it about? Satisfactory is a building game on Steam that started Early Access in 2019. To this day, the game has managed to impress its players quite well and has received a strong 97% positive reviews.

  • You explore an alien planet and build your own factory, with plenty of conveyor belts and state-of-the-art technology.
  • The goal is to automate your factory as much as possible.
  • It is played from a first-person perspective, solo or in online co-op.
  • You explore an open world with various vehicles, jetpacks, or jumping platforms that make exploration easier.

A video about Update 8 gives you a good impression of the world and gameplay of Satisfactory:

Start video
Satisfactory will bis zum Release noch Einiges ändern

How does Satisfactory plan to impress? Currently, the developers of the building game are working on the full release, scheduled for the end of 2024. Among other things, a transition to Unreal Engine 5 has already taken place.

PCGamesN had the opportunity to take a closer look at the current development state of the game and reported on their impressions. All the information we currently have comes from this report.

What’s particularly interesting is the switch to the better engine. Originally, the developers began the overhaul in Unreal Engine 5.2, which took place with Update 8. However, they are now said to have transitioned to 5.3, as it offers more potential for the future.

While this has left players with older systems behind, according to community manager Snutt Treptow, the team decided that ultimately more people would benefit from the progress.

Better graphics and new features by the release

With the new technology, the game has not only been visually enhanced but is also said to run much smoother and more pleasantly. Additionally, the developers are currently experimenting with more demanding lighting effects.

Some features are also expected to be redesigned or find their way into the game by release. For example, Update 8 already focuses on an interesting feature that allows players to continue operating their builds for a certain period even during a power outage.

For this, they will have the opportunity to connect their factories with various power supplies, thus ensuring a continuous power supply. In a game focused on automation, this seems like a really good feature to achieve this goal.

Destiny 2: Server Down on 22.02 – All Patch Notes and Info

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

On this Thursday, Destiny 2 will experience another server down. For players, this means a short break from gaming. MeinMMO tells you when you can log back in.

Update, 7:35 PM: According to Bungie, the downtime is now complete. You can log in now. We will keep you updated if any more complications occur. Apparently, there won’t be another update.

What you need to know today: Destiny 2 will undergo maintenance at short notice. This means the servers must go offline, which means you won’t be able to play for a while.

However, MeinMMO will keep you informed. We will tell you how long the downtime will last. We will also update this article as soon as there is new information.

Maintenance on 22.02. – All times for server down

These times are important today: Bungie informs its players via x.com (formerly Twitter) about the exact outage times. It is planned that the servers will be unavailable for 3 hours and 15 minutes today.

This is the schedule for the maintenance:

  • At 2:00 PM, background maintenance starts on all platforms.
  • At around 2:45 PM, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
  • At 6:00 PM, the shooter is expected to be back online and you can log in again.
  • The maintenance will continue in the background until 8:00 PM.
What to consider during downtimes: As long as the background maintenance runs, there may be connection issues in the game. Additionally, login queues may form occasionally because Bungie only gradually opens access to the servers to avoid issues due to high server load. Therefore, you might have to wait longer until you are back in the game.

Also, note that third-party applications as well as the official Companion app may also not be properly accessible for a while, so you cannot use them.

What’s changing with the new update in Season 23

The following issues are known: Even in the Season of Wish, there are many issues players are complaining about. Bungie has noted some (via bungie.net), but it is not known which of them will be fixed. The following bugs could be addressed:

  • The fireteam finder is missing some options like adding Bungie friends
  • Some legendary emotes are sorted with exotic emotes
  • Veist rifles can only be partially rotated when inspected
  • The shotgun “Pursuit of the Thought Twister” no longer glows when fired
  • Some rocket launchers do not appear anymore when inspected
  • Old artifacts are still displayed in players’ inventories

We will update our article and provide you with the link to the patch notes. It is possible that the patch notes may change later or be corrected by Bungie.

In Baldur’s Gate 3 you have access to a variety of weapons, where you can easily lose track. A player is now showing on TikTok why a crossbow is just right for clerics.

Which weapon is this about? In his video on TikTok, the player named Toyhouze talks about the crossbow “Gandrel’s Aspiration,” which is known in German as “Gandrel’s Streben.” This heavy crossbow gives you, among other things, an advantage against monsters.

Toyhouze points out in his video the action “Holy Ammunition,” with which the crossbow is equipped. With it, you can perform an action with a 100% success rate that allows you to repel undead.

In his video, Toyhouze explains why this is perfect for your cleric:

Why should you use the crossbow? If you use the bonus action “Holy Ammunition” before your attack as a cleric and apply it to your arrows, you can significantly increase your attack. Toyhouze demonstrates in his video how you can achieve a damage of 4d6 with this simple bonus action.

Where and how do you get this crossbow? You can obtain the heavy crossbow already in Act 1. To do this, you need to defeat the monster hunter Gandrel, whom you can find south of Aunt Ethel’s tea house.

This one tells you that he is searching for a vampire named Astarion. You then have the choice to turn Astarion in and ally with Gandrel, or to challenge the monster hunter in combat. Once you have defeated Gandrel, you can take the crossbow from him.

Moreover, defeating Gandrel is an important step for a successful romance with Astarion. What you should also consider for a relationship with the pale elf, we have summarized for you: Baldur’s Gate 3: Astarion Romance Guide – how to easily win his heart
