WoW Series Mar 23, 2026It's insane! The biggest problem with WoW TBC Classic Anniversary remains unresolved!
Dear players, it's been over a month since Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary launched, and the popularity of this classic server is undeniable.
Data clearly shows that player activity on this server has been steadily rising, attracting not only many returning veterans but also a large influx of new players.
However, while enjoying the game, many players, like myself, have likely discovered a fatal flaw in this version – the overall pace is too fast, and the developers have been slow to make adjustments to keep up.
Instead of enjoying the game, we've been driven to exhaustion by various issues.
Based on my personal experience over the past month, I'd like to discuss some of the most prominent problems in the current version and offer some thoughts and suggestions, hoping to make this classic version more suitable for all players' playstyles.
Acquiring equipment requires too many HonorsFirst and foremost, Honor requirement for PvP gear is incredibly high, making Honor grind extremely tedious.
Currently, Battlegrounds offer a pitifully small amount of Honor. A single Battlegrounds session, lasting nearly half an hour, even with full participation, only yields around 200 Honor. However, a decent PvP set requires over 10,000 Honor, meaning countless Battlegrounds would be needed to complete a full set.
While PvP daily quests like Terraar and Hellfire can yield around 1,000 Honor, these quests lack true PvP combat. Alliance and Horde players tacitly agree to quickly capture towers and complete tasks solely for Honor. Players who genuinely dedicate themselves to Battlegrounds receive negligible rewards.
This system robs Battlegrounds of its original fun and forces players to invest exponentially more time and effort for a single piece of gear, making it a poor investment.
Leveling system is unreasonableSecondly, the leveling system from 58 to 70 is extremely unreasonable and completely out of sync with the short version cycle.
WoW TBC Classic Anniversary is a short-term server, lasting only 8 to 10 months, much shorter than the regular 18-month release, yet the leveling difficulty hasn't decreased at all.
Even players who enjoy questing will find their experience bar progressing frustratingly slowly even after two hours of focused quest completion.
They might be stuck around level 63 after a long time, and reaching level 70 will require a significant amount of time.
More importantly, for ordinary players, the time they can dedicate to the game each day is limited. They also need to squeeze in time for guild raids, leveling their main character's reputation, and exchanging badges for gear, leaving no time to level alts.
Equipment drop rate is too lowFurthermore, the extremely low drop rate for raid gear severely impacts the player's experience during raid progression and character development.
Whether it's a 10-man raid like Karazans or a 25-man raid, the drop rate for high-quality gear is ridiculously low. Many guilds have spent weeks trying to clear raids, yet still haven't gotten the gear they want. Even some common, useful gear, and even $1, is extremely difficult to obtain.
For casual players, opportunities to participate in raids are already limited. Finally managing to assemble a group for a raid, only to return empty-handed, leads to repeated disappointments that easily erode their enthusiasm for the game. The already short expansion, relying solely on luck to acquire gear, makes the progression path exceptionally difficult for many players.
In addition, the developers might consider adopting the approach from WotLK Classic, adding a vendor that allows players to acquire high-quality gear from previous phases using a specific currency.
Ultimately, the root of these problems lies in one thing: WoW TBC Classic Anniversary expansion is too short-lived, yet it retains the settings of a regular expansion without any adaptation, directly raising the barrier to entry for the game.
This version was originally intended to allow players to relive the classic experience and enjoy a short-term gameplay experience. However, the current settings have caused anxiety for most players, who, despite investing time, cannot keep up with the pace of the update, leading to significant frustration.
The developers have made some minor adjustments, such as lowering the exchange price of some Honor gear and optimizing the dungeon unlocking mechanism for alt characters. However, these adjustments only address minor issues and do not solve the core problem of the overly fast-paced update.
What we need are adjustments that are more aligned with the actual needs of a short-term seasonal server, allowing ordinary players to easily keep up and avoid excessively wasting energy and time on leveling, farming Honor gear, and grinding for equipment.
Have any of you encountered these problems while playing? Or do you have any different opinions or suggestions regarding the update adjustments? As long-time WoW players, we raise these issues not to complain, but because we genuinely hope that Burning Crusade Anniversary can be improved.
We hope the developers will listen to the players' voices and make truly effective adjustments in future updates, allowing every player who invests time and effort to fully enjoy WoW TBC Classic Anniversary, making the game world more relaxed and fun.

Diablo 4 Mar 20, 2026Diablo 4 x DOOM Collaboration Event $125 Cosmetics Spark Mass Player Discontent | More Expensive than DLC!
Dear fans, Diablo 4 Season 12 has just launched, bringing a wealth of new content. Besides transforming into The Butcher and experiencing the thrill of wielding this ferocious boss's power to annihilate all enemies, there's also the brand-new unique Bloodied items and Killstreak system to help you create unprecedented build power!
Of course, the developers didn't stop there. The day after the release of Diablo 4 Season of Slaughter, on March 11th, they also launched a new collaboration event with Doom: The Dark Ages. As a dark fantasy shooter, DOOM's intense combat and exaggerated visuals perfectly match the theme of The Butcher's carnage in Diablo 4 Season 12. Therefore, the event has generated considerable buzz since its launch.
However, after experiencing the event, many players didn't give the initial reviews of this Diablo 4 x DOOM collaboration a positive one. The player community described it as another pointless money-grabbing event. So, what's the real story? Let's take a look at the full details of this collaboration and share our thoughts. Then you can decide whether to participate.
DOOM: The Dark Ages Event ReliquaryThis collaboration event launched on March 11, 2026, coinciding with the release of Season 12, and will continue until April 26, 2026.
The highlight of this update is DOOM: The Dark Ages Event Reliquary. Like regular Reliquaries, players need to use a specific token instead of $1 to unlock rewards. The key token is Dark Ages currency, which can only be obtained by defeating Elie and Champion enemies during the event.
There are 10 items waiting to be unlocked in DOOM: The Dark Ages Reliquary. However, these items are usually just cosmetic and don't offer any real benefits to your character. If you're aiming for increased character strength, you can ignore them; if you're an avid collector, don't hesitate to add these cosmetics to your inventory!
Players can use these rewards to transform ordinary shields into Doom's Shield Saw and their melee weapons into Slayer Flails. These new weapon styles might bring some different fun to your monotonous killing spree.
In addition, during the event, players can collect Doom Chests dropped by defeating Lair Bosses, which have a chance to drop unique weapons that resemble Doom's Crucible Blade. Finally, once you unlock all 10 rewards, you can also access the exclusive Forsaken Gates Town portal.
If you log in to the game during the event, you'll also have a chance to obtain free unique emblems, with the following times:
The Dark Before Dawn emblem: March 11 PT / March 12 PKT Grandeur of the Gutted emblem: March 13 PT / March 14 PKT Rip and Tear emblem: March 15 PT / March 16 PKTIf you find out too late, the event may have already ended, but don't despair, as they will most likely reappear in a later Reliquary event. So stay tuned!
Collaboration Bundles Available in the Premium ShopBesides the event gameplay, the collaboration bundles in Premium Shop have become a point of contention because of their high price and low cost-effectiveness.
The core item in this bundle is the Doom Slayer Armor Pack, which includes cosmetics for all 7 classes and costs 5,700 Platinum ($49.99). Meanwhile, each Praetor skin for each class is individually priced at 2,500 Platinum (~$24.99) and cannot be used across classes, making it more expensive to collect all the skins.
There's also The King of the Forge-Wing Bundle, valued at 2,800 Platinum ($24.99). This bundle includes Mecha Dragon Serrat mount skin, which is only available for cat mounts.
Additionally, you can also purchase the unique Cyclopean Cackle Bundle and Souls of the Lost Bundle for 2,500 Platinum (~$24.99).
Attention! If you're interested, please note the timing: The premium shop content will be available on March 12 at 12:00 PM PT / March 13 at 12:00 PM AKT.
Besides these, there's a small surprise to look forward to: Cacodemon and Lost Soul Pets.
You can pet and interact with them. The Cacodemon and Lost Soul Pets are priced at 2500 Platinum each. Each pet comes with a Mount Trophy and an Emblem, offering a fantastic opportunity to enrich your collection.
The collaboration costs significantly more than the base gameWhile the collaboration items visually recreate Doom style, the overall pricing strategy has sparked considerable discussion among players.
The complete collaboration outfit costs $125, a price not only significantly higher than the upcoming Diablo 4's Lord of Hatred expansion at $39.99, but also exceeding the base game's price of $49.99. For a collaboration that only offers cosmetic content, this pricing is clearly excessive, disappointing many players.
Overall, this Diablo 4 and DOOM collaboration leans more towards cosmetic and commercial aspects, with relatively limited innovation and integration in gameplay. The high prices have deterred many players. However, setting aside the collaboration itself, Diablo 4 season 12's gameplay mechanics are excellent, and player interest remains high.
Please note that this event ends on April 26th, so join now to win your exclusive rewards. It's also worth mentioning that the new Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred DLC officially launches on April 28th, so you won't have much free time!

Diablo 4 Nov 19, 2025What Should You Do Before Entering Diablo 4 Season 11? | 4 Essential Tips
As we all know, Diablo 4 Season 11 is expected to launch on December 9th. This news ignited the enthusiasm of countless players, but many features in PTR 2.5.0 disappointed them.
Fortunately, the developers recently revealed that they are making adjustments to the content of Diablo 4 Season 11. Hopefully, the official team can provide players with a satisfactory result.
Here are some tips and tricks to help you smoothly transition from Season 10 to Season 11. Hopefully, they will be helpful.
1. Experience The Content And Enjoy The GameWith its rich and exciting gameplay, Diablo 4 has gained immense popularity since its release, especially after the introduction of Chaos Perks and Chaos Armor in Season 10, which further fueled player enthusiasm.
With such a successful predecessor, the features of Season 11 showcased by the developers in PTR have sparked widespread discussion, with some controversial features making it difficult for many players to accept D4 Season 11.
However, players need to understand that PTR content is not static. The official team adjusts mechanics and settings based on player feedback, and it rarely reflects the experience after official release.
Therefore, instead of judging based on your impressions of PTR, it's better to experience the new season yourself. Only by experiencing it firsthand can you know whether you like the game and its mechanics and background. Don't let negative emotions influence your judgment.
We believe that Diablo 4 Season 11, after its improvements, will provide you with a satisfying gaming experience.
2. Join Discord To Prepare For The New SeasonWhether you enjoy exploring the game solo or teaming up to challenge Diablo 4, we strongly recommend joining Discord. It's a hub for countless Diablo 4 players, and even before Season 11 has started, they are still actively discussing it.
Players can share their builds, $1 needed to create better builds, and how to defeat powerful bosses faster. They share their experiences and game tips, and if you join, you can gain many new ideas and inspiration.
3. Choose The Right Leveling GuideTo progress further in the new season, choosing a suitable build with high growth potential at the start is crucial.
Now, you can compare build guides of interest across various platforms and invest time and effort in developing your final choice after the season begins.
These leveling guides rarely change and can be used into the next season, providing detailed explanations of each stage of the leveling process. Of course, since Chaos Perks and Chaos Armor are not available in Season 11, these guides differ slightly, but the overall development direction is basically the same.
You can fine-tune your build to suit the game mechanics, and with continuous refinement, you'll surely be able to easily defeat powerful enemies in Diablo 4 Season 11.
4. Understand Eternal RealmThe concept of Eternal Realm may be unfamiliar to new players, but it will help veteran players preserve some precious game memories.
After the new season begins, character runes, gold, weapons, and other Diablo 4 seasonal items will be transferred to Eternal Realm and will not be usable in the new season. These items are stored in a warehouse-like space, and once you choose to clear it, you can no longer obtain them.
If you want to properly preserve some season memories, remember to put seasonal items into the Eternal Realm in a timely manner.
These are some of our tips. They may not directly help you win battles, but we hope they can provide some inspiration and help you enjoy Diablo 4 Season 11 more.

FFXIV Nov 08, 2025Final Fantasy XIV Patch 7.4 Update | Main Story Into The Mist, Glamour Freedom And Variant Dungeon
In a recent livestream, the game developers revealed that FFXIV will release patch 7.4 on December 16th and showcased some game details. This update will expand and adjust the game's content, allowing players to discover even more interesting features.
This update is one of the largest recent updates for Final Fantasy XIV, including the long-awaited main storyline and the removal of Glamour system restrictions. Below, we'll introduce the content mentioned in the livestream, giving you a preview of the key points of patch 7.4.
Into The MistThe new main storyline in FF14 patch 7.4 is titled Into the Mist. While the specific quest requirements are currently unknown, based on past settings, we're certain it will consist of multiple interconnected main quests. Completing these quests will reward you with valuable items and $1.
You will begin the main storyline guided by a mysterious member of Lalafell, who will be a key figure in this quest. These quests will unlock new content in FFXIV patch 7.4.
Variant Dungeon: Merchant's TaleThis dungeon is designed for high-level players, requiring a class level of 90 or higher to handle the potential difficulties.
Advanced difficulty Variant Dungeons require a class level of 100. In this dungeon, players can team up in any order to challenge three variant dungeon bosses of increasing difficulty. Defeating each boss will grant you exclusive rewards.
Defeating all bosses in one go will grant additional rewards. If you're interested in these rewards, consider investing some Final Fantasy XIV gil in advance to boost your strength. With your superior skills, you can successfully complete these challenges and achieve your goals faster.
Criterion Dungeons feature three extremely difficult variant dungeon bosses with a fixed appearance order. It's important to note that player respawns are limited in this level, requiring you to equip sufficiently powerful gear and weapons to successfully complete the challenge.
Related: $1
Removing Glamour System RestrictionsOne of the most anticipated changes in Final Fantasy XIV patch 7.4 is the removal of glamour system restrictions.
Previously, Final Fantasy XIV gear usage was restricted by class, job, and level, limiting player customization options. However, in patch 7.4, based on player feedback, these restrictions have been removed.
Now, players can change any type of gear for any class. You'll have true freedom in this regard; you can customize the look to your liking.
The only exception is weapon glamours. Because of conflicts with FFXIV animation skills, weapons cannot be customized across classes.
But compared to previous limitations, this change meets the expectations of most players, allowing them to create more unique character glamours than ever before.
Other Important ContentFinal Fantasy XIV patch 7.4 also includes some equally important content.
New Level 100 DungeonJudging from the leaked images, the new dungeon, Mistwake, has a style very similar to FFIX, leading many players to speculate that it's based on Dark City Treno.
New Frontline Map: Worqor ChirtehIn this level 30 PvP duty, players will experience the impact of weather on dungeons. These environmental effects are expected to provide a more engaging gameplay experience.
Three New Phantom Jobs In Occult CrescentThe three new jobs are Phantom Mystic Knight, Phantom Dancer, and Phantom Gladiator. Additionally, to help players better explore Occult Crescent, the game has added beneficial accessories that can boost stats in specific areas.
New Raid SeriesFF14 patch 7.4 brings the final chapter of Arcadion raid series. This wrestling-themed series began with patch 7.0 and continues in this update.
Arcadion Heavyweight includes Normal and Savage difficulties. Note that these two difficulties will not be released simultaneously; Arcadion Heavyweight Savage difficulty will be released on January 6, 2026.
This comprehensive update has many players eagerly anticipating December 16th. From main quests and challenging levels to creatively designed Glamour customization options, Final Fantasy XIV patch 7.4 offers a wealth of content for every player, catering to story enthusiasts, dungeon challengers, and casual gamers.
Whether you prefer a different playstyle, FFXIV patch 7.4 is packed with surprises. Gather your friends and embark on a new fog-shrouded story. This adventure, blending challenge and creativity, is definitely worth the wait.

Elden Ring Oct 17, 2025Uncover Secrets Of Elden Ring Nightreign And Unlock Hidden Rewards
While Elden Ring Nightreign isn't necessarily connected to the original Elden Ring setting, it's set in the same universe and continues the rich tradition of secrets and crossover Easter eggs.
Unlike Elden Ring, many of its secrets aren't just about uncovering hidden plot points; they also provide substantial bonuses, making the player's adventure easier. Next, I will share with you 9 secrets and rewards.$1
Siegmeyer Of Catarina's ArmorPlayers can unlock a variety of purely cosmetic outfits for Nightfarer. You can unlock and equip different outfits after completing two Expeditions or Nightfarer's Remembrance.
In addition, the skin called Catarina's Armor perfectly reproduces Siegmeyer's classic look, but it is only available for Raider. The unlocking condition is to defeat the final boss - Nightlord, and then it can be obtained in Roundtable Hold for 7500 Murk.
Solaire's ArmorThis Sunlight Knight armor set can be unlocked by defeating Nightlord. Once you obtain this skin, you'll embody the sun-obsessed Solaire's beliefs in Elden Ring Nightreign.
Of course, it's not that easy to defeat Nightlord, so you can use $1 to help you get a powerful starting character, so that you will be able to defeat this boss more efficiently than other players and get exquisite skins.
Cord EndCord End is one of the most confusing secrets in the game, with a vague description that directs the player to a seemingly inaccessible stone door north of Castle. Using it to open the door reveals a room containing three Sacrificial Twigs.
Once equipped, it will disappear when you die, replacing the lost runes and levels. It is a high-risk, high-reward equipment.
In addition, there is a secret hidden in the room where Sacrificial Twigs are obtained: a girl with her hands tied, integrated with the trees. She is likely related to the sacrificial ceremony and Cutting-Gifted Tribe mentioned in Cord End.
However, the game does not give a clear answer to her identity, why she is here, and her ultimate fate, leaving it an unresolved mystery.
Firelink Shrine HubAs the central hub of the game, Roundtable Hold is inspired by Firelink Shrine. Its design is full of tributes to campfires.
The giant weapons stuck on the ground are stacked like firewood, and Grace gathered in the center is like a flame. The atmosphere and function of the whole scene instantly remind people of the familiar Firelink Shrine.
Pest BossThis secret is not only interesting, but also brings actual buffs to players. When players occasionally encounter ground explosions in the game, this is actually a guiding signal. Following the swarm of insects that appear at this time will lead you to an additional moth boss.
After defeating this boss, you can obtain relics that enhance passive abilities, which is a great opportunity to become stronger.
Scarab LocationsScarabs can drop valuable loot, but finding them is usually difficult due to their audible location. A more effective method is to visit Fort Towers and obtain a map of the area. This map will directly indicate Scarabs' locations, much like a treasure chest, greatly simplifying the search process.
Chest RoomsAlmost every ruin has a secret. There are two hidden staircases inside, leading to two secret rooms containing treasure chests.
One of the rooms has two fixed treasure chests, and the other has three. In the room with three treasure chests, there is a high chance of finding Talismans that can permanently enhance the character's abilities. It can improve combat effectiveness, and the exploration rewards are very generous.
Wylder Is Likely A Reference To GutsWylder's design heavily borrows from Guts. Not only does he wield a greatsword and arm cannon, but his stubbornness, tenacity, and focus on combat as his sole purpose are all traits that mirror Guts'.
Heolstor's Possible OriginsThe final boss, Heolstor, possesses a form of Moonlight Greatsword, a weapon closely associated with Carian bloodline from Elden Ring.
This has sparked speculation about his identity: he may be related to the missing third Carian sister, Renna, adding a layer of mystery to his backstory.
In short, secrets system in Elden Ring Nightreign differs significantly from the original game.
It focuses on sentimental visual and environmental tributes, while directly providing hidden items and challenges that enhance character power and enhance the gameplay experience.
This makes the exploration process full of surprises while also providing more immediate and practical rewards.

Diablo 4 Oct 13, 2025Diablo 4 Season 10 Crit-Boosting Locran's Talisman: How To Easily Find?
Diablo 4, a two-year-old game, recently entered Season 10, bringing numerous improvements and additions to players, offering a wealth of new experiences.
For example, Locran's Talisman, previously only found in Infernal Hordes, can now be found as loot from bosses, making it much easier to find.
Because Locran's Talisman grants a significant crit bonus to most characters, it's crucial to strive for it. Therefore, this guide will explain the specific uses of this amulet and how to obtain it.$1
Unique EffectsAs the item description for Locran's Talisman indicates, it focuses on increasing your critical strike ability in the game without requiring many resources. Each point of Primary Resource grants you 0.1%-0.4% critical strike chance when casting skills, up to a maximum of 100 stacks.
If you have over 100 Primary Resource points, each additional Primary Resource grants you 0.2% critical strike damage, up to a maximum of 500 resources. Additionally, it grants 25% resistance to all elements.
How To Obtain It?As mentioned above, starting this season, you can obtain it from boss loot. It can be found in Andariel and Harbinger of Hatred. To obtain the amulet from the chest, you must reach Torment 1 difficulty and find the key.
You can find Andariel in Hanged Man's Hall and Harbinger of Hatred in Harbinger's Den. Defeating them will reveal a chest containing Locran's Talisman and a large amount of other $1. Note that since these are high-level bosses, you need to defeat lower-level bosses before you can farm them. If you have the summoning materials, you can also spawn higher-level bosses directly.$1
The keys to unlocking the treasure chest are 3 Pincushioned Dolls and 3 Abhorrent Hearts. Pincushioned Dolls can be obtained by farming Beast in the Ice and Lord Zir, while Abhorrent Hearts can be obtained by farming in Urivar.
In addition, Pincushioned Dolls and Abhorrent Hearts can also drop from Kurast Undercity and World Bosses. If you have a lot of Tribute of Titans, you can enter Party Finder and defeat bosses to obtain them.
Given its critical hit power, I think classes that rely on critical hit effects, such as Sorcerers, may need it. So if you're looking to build a more powerful character, it's worth exploring it based on the details provided here.

Diablo 4 Oct 11, 2025Diablo 4 Season 10 Ravens Druid Build Guide | Best Gear, Skills And Paragon Setup For Pit 100 Speedruns
Ravens Druid Build is one of the most popular builds in Diablo 4 Season 10. Its core focus is on making Ravens' skills cooldown-free, high-damage, and Cataclysm nearly permanent through skill adjustments and gear matching.
This build allows for speedruns to reach Pit 100 in under 2 minutes and easily earn 300 paragon points, making it an extremely efficient playstyle in Diablo 4 Season 10.
$1
First, adjust Druid's companion skills to core skills. This allows them to be used without a cooldown, making them powerful and reusable, allowing for high-frequency damage output.
Second, unlimited spirit is acquired by wearing MjOlnic Ryng while Cataclysm is active. This combination not only grants unlimited spirit but also makes Cataclysm's effects nearly permanent, allowing for a recurring effect.
Finally, Storm Crows form is unlocked, transforming Ravens' unnatural magic damage into a nature magic storm skill that deals lightning damage, helping to trigger cooldown reduction and damage bonuses. Next, we'll detail the key crafting strategies and features of this powerful Ravens Druid build.
Energy BonusEnergy bonuses primarily affect Overabundance. Overabundance is a Magic Chaos Power in Season 10. When your Spirit exceeds your maximum Spirit, you activate Overabundance for every 100 Spirit points you generate, increasing your damage by 50%-100%. This effect stacks up to three times and lasts for 5 seconds.
In addition, you can use up Spirit with Purge the Infected Chaos Perk. It consumes 5 Spirit points, ensuring a critical hit that deals direct damage to poisoned enemies, allowing Ravens' skills to deal increased damage.
Gear RecommendationsGear plays a crucial role in Diablo 4. These $1 will help you maximize your performance. Banished Lord's Talisman can be equipped on gloves, boots, or pants. Its core function is to consume 275 primary resources, guaranteeing a super-powered core skill, increasing critical damage by 72%, and significantly boosting Raven burst damage.
$1
Fists of Fate is best worn on gloves or pants, increasing hit chance and attack speed, adding a random bonus of 1%-360% to damage, and frequently activating Energy Recharge to ensure skill rotation.
Kilt of Blackwing can be worn on gloves, boots, or pants, with pants being preferred. Equipping it on pants grants 120% Raven damage, 20% more damage than other locations, providing a more significant output boost.
Shroud of False Death is recommended for chest armor, as it provides passive stat bonuses and adds 15% bonus damage to War Cry, further boosting overall output.
For the ring, choose Aspect of Retaliation. Used in conjunction with Debilitating Roar, this ensures your character is always in a fortified state, balancing damage and survivability.
Paragon BoardWhen assigning a paragon board, prioritize Keeper Glyph. This is a must-have item, boosting survivability and basic stats. Then, select Dominate Glyph in Untamed panel to gain an additional 10% overpower multiplier. This grants critical hits and overpower damage, boosting your output.
When Poisoned enemies are nearby, Heightened Malice panel adds 35% bonus damage. Each additional Poisoned enemy increases damage by an additional 5%, significantly boosting your area-of-effect damage.
Defense RecommendationsTo ensure basic survivability, prioritize items such as Soothing Spices to boost both resistance and armor, or Song of the Mountain to increase armor, then stack your armor with Grand Skulls to maximize your armor. You can also use Shroud of False Death to increase your maximum health or use it as an off-hand item to reduce cooldowns and avoid being killed by bosses mid-game.
MercenaryIf you own Vessel of Hatred, you'll unlock four mercenaries in Diablo 4 Season 10. You can choose them as your primary companion or as one-off attack reinforcements.
Subo is recommended as a mercenary, as he provides 25% bonus critical damage and movement speed, further improving your damage efficiency and speed. For more support, you can choose Raheir, but at a cost of some damage. The choice is yours based on your needs.
How can you maximize the success of your Ravens Druid build in Diablo 4 Season 10? Different players have different answers. You can use this Ravens Druid build strategy to help you choose your own development direction.

Diablo 4 Sep 26, 2025Is The Untradeable Chaos Armor In Diablo 4 Season 10 A Good Thing?
Diablo 4 Season 10 is themed on Infernal Chaos. The entire Sanctuary is filled with chaos, and the emergence of a new seasonal item completely subverts the original game landscape: Chaos Armor.
A key focus of Season 10, Chaos Armor is a new variant of existing unique items, granting enhanced, unique powers to the equipped item. They are only available in slots unavailable for existing unique items, thus opening up new build possibilities.
However, the synergy between standard equipment and their Chaos Armor counterparts is so good, but their difficulty in obtaining them this season is a significant headache.
As a key mechanic in determining build leaderboards this season, players can no longer use $1 to trade Chaos Armor with other players in Auction House, as in previous seasons. Because of limitations in Season 10, players must earn Chaos Armor through personal grinding and farming.
Currently, in Diablo 4, players can collect Chaos Armor by completing Chaos Rifts, the reworked Infernal Hordes, and defeating Bartuc boss. Importantly, these Chaos Unique drops are often completely random, meaning that obtaining the specific item you need is largely a matter of random chance, making farming significantly more difficult.
How To Obtain Chaos Armor?There are several ways to obtain Chaos Armor in Diablo 4, including challenging the reworked Infernal Hordes, defeating Bartuc, Lord of Chaos, at the end of Infernal Hordes, and participating in Chaos Rifts that appear around Sanctuary.
Of course, the highest chance of Chaos Armor drops comes from defeating the returning Bartuc boss, especially at Torment 3 and 4 difficulties. However, it's important to note that to challenge Bartuc, Lord of Chaos, you must complete Infernal Hordes and spend 666 Burning Aether. Furthermore, there's another boss waiting for you! So, there's both danger and reward!
If you're not keen on fighting Bartuc, starting in the Infernal Hordes is a great way to get started. In the rewards chests there, you'll have a chance to get a large amount of Diablo 4 gold and, if you're lucky, even Chaos Armor.
An equally random event is closing Chaos Rifts in Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons to obtain Chaos Armor you desire. This is a test of luck and patience.
Additionally, Chaos Armor drops in season 10 are different from previous unique items and can no longer be obtained from Lair Bosses.
Chaos Armor Is Account-BoundIn Diablo 4, players could often complete their ideal build by directly trading specific equipment. However, in Season 10, Chaos Armor, like other Mythic Unique Items in the game, is now account-bound and untradeable. This binding system significantly increases the rarity of Chaos Armor.
While this account-binding system will inevitably make acquiring equipment in Season 10 more challenging, requiring players to invest time and effort to obtain Chaos Armor, the search for the perfect piece of gear will allow players to experience Diablo 4 more immersively. After all, the synergy between Chaos Armor and standard gear is well worth the effort.
We believe this system will provide a positive gaming experience for both players who enjoy exploring and crafting their ideal builds and those who prefer to trade for their desired gear.
That concludes our news regarding the new Chaos Armor. Chaos Armor is a powerful feature that cannot be ignored in Diablo 4 Season 10. Its challenging and luck-based acquisition process, coupled with the account-binding system, will be a challenge for players as they progress through the new season. Are you eager to try it out? We wish you all good luck in your efforts to obtain the perfect gear you desire and unleash your skills in Season 10.

MMO Games Aug 18, 2025What Updates Does Last Epoch Season 3: Beneath Ancient Skies Bring? - Minion AI, Merchants Guild And More
Last Epoch has always kept players engaged with regular updates, and players are eagerly anticipating Season 3: Beneath Ancient Skies, scheduled to launch on August 21st, and the new content it will bring.
According to the information currently available, Season 3 will improve minion AI, customize cosmetics offline, and Merchants Guild, as well as add a Primal Hunt system. These improvements will significantly enhance the player experience.
Minion AISeason 3 will see a major overhaul of minion AI. Previously, minion AI was in Protect Mode, following the player closely and providing support as needed.
While this mode is effective for protecting the player, there are situations where minion AI isn't always desirable, especially for specific combat requirements.
Therefore, to enhance the strategic nature of the game, the game will allow players to deploy minion AI more flexibly.
Specifically, players can switch between Protect Mode and Assassinate Mode. Unlike Protect Mode, minions in Assassinate Mode lock onto enemies from a greater distance and focus more on their targets, reducing frequent target switching.
This change not only improves combat stability but also allows players to more flexibly deploy minions in complex encounters, allowing for a richer and more strategic experience.
Customize Cosmetics OfflineA major feature of this update is the addition of the ability to customize cosmetics offline. This means players can not only customize their cosmetics to their liking but also save these settings without an internet connection.
For PC/Steam players, this feature will require a onetime setup and re-equipment of cosmetics, but will benefit from its added convenience going forward.
Merchant GuildSeason 3 also sees significant changes to Merchant Guild. Specifically, two new tokens have been introduced: Merchant's Tokens and Black Market Tokens. These tokens expand the variety of tokens available within Merchant Guild, making it easier for players to trade items.
Specifically, Merchant's Tokens can help players waive favor costs, making transactions more efficient. Black Market Tokens, on the other hand, offer even more powerful functionality.
Besides waiving favor costs, players can also use them to acquire items that haven't yet reached their corresponding level, and reduce their gear level to 1.
These two new tokens will significantly enrich the player trading experience and provide new options for those pursuing extreme gear.
Primal Hunt SystemIn addition to the aforementioned updates, Last Epoch Season 3 will also introduce a new Primal Hunt system. In this system, players will enter Rifts and battle Rift Beasts.
After defeating these Rift Beasts, players will be able to release a young beast, which will evolve and gain new abilities and physical traits.
As you can see, the core of this system lies in the evolution mechanic. Through repeated hunts, players can gradually cultivate stronger beasts. Evolved beasts become more ferocious and are more likely to ambush players.
Through repeated encounters, players can not only obtain rare items, primordial materials, and $1, but can also exchange these for primordial Uniques, new powerful items, and Runes of Evolution.
These primordial items are incredibly powerful, and Season 9 will add 25 primordial Uniques, though players can only equip one at a time.
In short, Last Epoch Season 3: Beneath Ancient Skies is more than just a functional update; it promises to deliver a deeper gaming experience.
