Recently, the content leaks of Genshin Impact 5.7 have emerged one after another, especially the information about the two new characters Skirk and Dahlia, which has caused heated discussions in the player community. Although the current game is still in Version 5.5, concerns about the new characters are continuing to ferment.
According to the current leaked information, Skirk, as an important NPC in main Fontaine line, has been highly anticipated by players since his appearance. Although Skirk's specific values have not yet been exposed, we can also guess that the mechanism of this five-star character may be overly dependent on Cryo meta. Then her flaws are also easily exposed - when the environment changes, her strength will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, the leak of the four-star Hydro character Dahlia is equally disturbing. This new character, who may come from Mondstadt, will focus on Attack Speed buffer. It is worth noting that this is not the only four-star support with attack speed buff as the core in Genshin Impact in the past two years. Because of this, this repetitive design immediately raised questions about the usefulness of the character, after all, the strategic value of attack speed stats in the current version is still controversial.
Mika's DilemmaPreviously, Mika's launch as a 4-star Cryo character had suffered a major failure. Many players considered this a disaster, as he was undoubtedly one of the worst supports.
This Knights of Favonius front-line surveyor is very young. He is mainly attack speed buff and Physical DMG buffs, and can also bring a certain degree of healing to teammates. But unfortunately, no matter from which aspect, his bonus ability is not ideal, or even equivalent to no effect. In addition, attack speed is usually not an important stat in Genshin Impact, which made Mika quickly abandoned by players and chose other characters as a replacement.
It is worth noting that Dahlia's current leaked information has many similarities with Mika. They are both 4-star supports and can also serve as an Attack Speed buffer. They are even likely to come from Mondstadt! This really makes people worry that Dahlia will repeat Mika's mistakes.
What's more worrying is that the current version already has a more practical character like Yun Jin. If Dahlia cannot provide a breakthrough mechanism, then his existence value will be questioned by many players. After all, for most players, it is better to prioritize the cultivation of the existing team rather than consuming $1 to extract a new character that is not easy to use.
Attack SpeedTo understand the players' concerns, we first need to understand the awkward position of attack speed in the combat system of Genshin Impact. Unlike basic stats such as HP, ATK, and DEF, attack speed is only slightly effective for some characters who rely on Normal Attacks as their main damage output, but it is also very limited.
Even for characters such as Ayato, Ayaka, Itto, and even Yoimiya, higher attack speed allows these characters to attack more frequently and increase their overall damage output to the enemy, but in fact their output limit does not depend on the attack frequency. This feature makes Attack Speed buffer often give people a sense of dispensability.
Judging from the existing information, if Dahlia wants to avoid repeating Mika's mistakes, he still needs to focus on solving his practicality problem first. How can he have his own outstanding advantages compared with other similar characters? We can only hope that the developer will do it.
However, these are our own speculations, after all, these leaks may be wrong. The information we know about Dahlia is not complete enough, and it is not rational to make arbitrary conclusions based on the current information.
What's more, these concerns also reflect the players' anxiety about the lack of innovation in character design. Since the release of Genshin Impact, the developer has launched nearly 100 controllable characters one after another, and it is difficult to avoid the homogenization of character positioning. But if it is not solved, then for players, this will greatly affect the diversity of the game build, thereby reducing the fun of the game.
All in all, the information we currently have about Version 5.7 is not sufficient, and more key information will be revealed later. We hope that the developer can avoid repeated mistakes and keep pushing Genshin Impact forward!

While Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail are constantly refreshing players' views on open world games, HoYoverse's highly anticipated Zenless Zone Zero is about to usher in a major update, including new areas, new characters and new factions. This news makes all proxies feel excited.
New Areas Waifei PeninsulaThis place, famous for mining and refining Porcelume, is located in Throne Quarter, on the outskirts of Lemnian Hollow, and is full of dangers. The story of ZZZ version 2.0 will begin here.
Waifei Peninsula was originally used as a monitoring zone to monitor Lemnian Hollow, the original hollows in the game. And its name Waifei Peninsula comes from Cantonese characters.
The earliest residents who settled here were responsible for guarding this extremely dangerous valley. And over time, an outpost was established in Waifei Peninsula area. Eventually it became Failume Heights.
Failume HeightsThe city sits on a cliff, with a stunning view of the port and the area. The area is rich in Porcelume, a precious material that resists Ether Corruption. It is a vital material in mining. It is also the economic pillar of the area, but there are many secrets hidden behind it.
Perhaps many clues that have not been answered before will be connected here, such as Sarah's true plans, the conspiracy of Exaltists, etc. But I think the most important thing is the biggest mystery that the two proxies have always wanted to know - the truth about the fall of the old capital and the secrets that Phaethon siblings have been keeping. In short, I am sure that players will get a great new adventure here.
Lemnian HollowAs an original Hollows hiding an ancient civilization, although Lemnian Hollow has only been mentioned once before, it has always been the most active hollow, often causing trouble for nearby residents.
Now, players can look forward to exploring here in 2.0. Oh, and there's also a bigger and more complete Aerospace City ruin waiting for you.
New CharacterAs a key figure in Season 2, Yixuan is the current leader of Yunkui Summit. Her striking yellow cape easily leaves a deep impression. She will appear with new members from Defense Force's Obol Squad and the previously revealed idol group Angels of Delusion.
In 2.0, players can become a new disciple of Yunkui Summit and learn Yixuan's craft. Although it is not yet known what this is, with Yixuan as a mentor, it will be exciting to learn anything! Perhaps from now on, players will have to consciously accumulate $1.
New FactionsThere will be many major factions in Season 2. Some of them have appeared and returned again, and some are making their debut. They are Angels of Delusion and Obol Squad from Defense Force.
In addition, a new teaser trail will be released on April 13, through which players can learn more about what they want to know.
Other ImprovementsIn addition to the above new content, Version 2.0 also brings some gameplay improvements to everyone, which can effectively enhance the player's gaming experience.
Map EnhancementsThe map experience of Zenless Zone Zero has been greatly improved, integrating residential and combat areas together, bringing players a smoother and more realistic experience. From now on, there will be no more annoying long scene switching, which will make the game more convenient.
Especially Failume Heights, its scale has been expanded, and many new features have been added. All of this makes it more like a complete city. The larger scope also gives it unlimited expansion space in the future.
What is more concerning is that Failume Heights may have a new daily system to be released, and there may also be a mini-game about Suibian Temple. I hope the official will give more instructions about this mini-game in the future.
Travel System & UI ChangesMeanwhile, Zenless Zone Zero Season 2 also brings a new Travel System & UI.
Travel System: Version 2.0 not only brings a larger map format but also adds very convenient features such as mini-map and navigation tools. In addition, you can now travel directly between Failume Heights and Hollow without going to the video store! This really helps a lot, doesn't it? UI: New UI combines all content and everything together, so that Proxies can now enjoy faster destination selection speed and clearer New Eridu's geography.In addition to the above, the game has also made improvements in plot and combat methods, but the information we know is not enough at present. We will continue to pay attention to official information in the future. I hope to get more new surprises.
By the way, there is another very important news - the developer is exploring ways to release it to different platforms. It is said that Zenless Zone Zero will land on Xbox in the future! This means Xbox owners will also have the opportunity to experience ZZZ's exciting combat, breathtaking visuals, and a whole new chapter in Proxy's adventure.
As 2nd anniversary of Honkai Star Rail approaches, players' attention is subtly switching between 3.2 Amphoreus campaign update and the preview information of 3.3. After seeing the gameplay kit of Hyacine leaked in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.3, I was very curious - can this upcoming 5-star Wind Healer really change the current healing pattern of Luocha, Lingsha, and Huohuo?
The leak details Hyacine' s active abilities, her passive traces, her eidolons, etc. If the leaked information is accurate and has not changed after the release of Version 3.3, players can prepare for all these equipment in advance and pre-acquire them.
Version 3.3 LeaksAs an important NPC in Amphoreus plot line, Hyacine has aroused speculation since her debut due to her unique memosprite mechanism. Now HoYoverse has officially confirmed through official dynamics that this Remembrance Character will be launched as a playable character in May, and the equally popular Cipher will also be launched at the same time.
According to the current leaked information, we can clearly know the fact that players will consume numerous $1 in version 3.3, which may trigger a new round of resource hoarding craze.
Although version 3.2 has occupied the center of the topic with Castorice, Anaxa and Amphoreus campaign updates, with this leak of news, many players have set their sights on the more strategically profound version 3.3. According to the latest capture records of Honey Hunter World database, Hyacine's skill set presents an amazing composite healing characteristic, and its mechanism design around the dual core of Max HP & SPD may bring revolutionary changes to tactical system of Honkai Star Rail.
Hyacine Complete KitAccording to leaked information, Hyacine's Complete Kit contains three disruptive mechanisms:
Dynamic HP conversion system: Normal attacks directly link the percentage of maximum HP to maintain the output threat while stacking survival attributes. Memosprite Ica: This permanent summons inherits 50% of Hyacine's maximum HP. It can not only achieve full automatic endurance through out-of-turn healing, but also has a unique gain stacking mechanism. Petrichoric Clear Skies state: Three-turn Petrichoric Clear Skies state triggered by using Ultimate, at which time Hyacine will heal all team characters. The amount of healing is a certain percentage of her own maximum HP plus a fixed value.When Hyacine is in Petrichoric Clear Skies state, Ica will take action immediately after Hyacine uses a skill. When Ica triggers Talent's healing effect, it will restore additional HP to friendly targets. This powerful healing power can make the team worry-free, which makes Hyacine a good choice for players to build a team.
It is particularly worth noting that Ica is a non-turn-based action - this memosprite that does not appear on the action bar can trigger healing after any friendly unit acts. This kind of detachment from the traditional restriction mechanism completely breaks the tactical framework of the existing healing role. When paired with new Relic set Warrior Goddess of Daythunder, Ica's Gentle Rain effect triggered each round can provide an additional 15% team crit damage. Hyacine's design that deeply binds survival and output gain makes Hyacine's strategic value far beyond traditional healers.
Ideal BuildThe exclusive Relic Daybreak Thunder Valkyrie mentioned in the leaked intelligence is clearly designed to target Hyacine's mechanical pain points:
2-piece: It can increase the player's SPD by 60%, which also directly relieves the pressure of Hyacine build. 4-piece: When the treatment is triggered, it gains Gentle Rain state, providing an additional 6% SPD and 15% team critical damage.This set of Relics perfectly meets Hyacine's need for SPD and also forms a perfect closed loop with her own abilities. This makes it possible for her to become the most powerful healing profession and one of the characters with best sustain in Honkai Star Rail.
In terms of lineup matching, the synergy between Hyacine and Tribbie is particularly prominent - Tribbie can increase its own maximum HP according to the total maximum HP of its allies, so HP limit increase provided by Hyacine can be converted into double benefits, and this mechanism linkage may give birth to new tactics.
However, its strict build requirements may also become a problem - in order to exert the full strength, players need to obtain Relic and Ornament pieces with SPD as the sub-stat to meet her needs for SPD. This may require players to consume a lot of game resources to achieve. This high investment and high return feature may make Hyacine a good helper for krypton gold players. Civilian players may need to wait a little for the subsequent mechanism.
In any case, for players who lack a talented healer, Hyacine will be the best choice, and we look forward to her arrival bringing us more surprises!
World of Warcraft will remove Guild Name Change service from Shop on April 22, 2025. This is not only a simple function migration but also a milestone event in the systematic reform of WoW's paid system. This may also indicate that Patch 11.1.5 will also be released together with Guild Name Change function. Players may not have to wait long to experience the new content of The War Within Expansion this spring!
Guild ServicesRecently, WOW The War Within11.1.5 patch landed in the public beta Public Test Realm, allowing fans to see the upcoming update with their own eyes. This transformation of Guild Name Change continues the previous trend - in July 2024, WOW withdrew Guild Realm Transfer and Guild Faction Transfer services from the in-game store. When the guild name change is removed from both Battle.net and the in-game store, it means that World of Warcraft will no longer provide paid guild services. This change also marks that the guild management function of WOW is gradually returning to the main game.
According to current information, Guild Name Change function is integrated into Guild Master interface of Major Cities. And Guild Name Changes must meet the following conditions:、
Applicants must have Guild Master permissions. The guild bank must hold 200,000 Gold and cannot bind funds. The new name must pass sensitive word filtering and uniqueness verification.In addition, it has also attracted widespread attention. Its 200,000 $1 pricing strategy. Referring to the current market average price of WoW Token, the new pricing reduces the cost compared to cash. This design forms a connection with the Winds of Mysterious Fortune experience buff added in the 11.1.5 patch - the event provides experience bonuses and generous rewards, which can significantly improve the efficiency of players' gold acquisition. WoW The War Within is now obviously guiding players to obtain gold for trading mainly through game behavior.
However, these clues also show that The War Within is building a triangular circulation system of gold coins, game content, and social capital. Compared with other MMO games, it chooses a more direct way to make changes, which can also be said to be an immense challenge.
Patch 11.1.5Furthermore, April 22 is not only the time when WOW brings us Guild Name Change, but it is also very likely to be the launch date of Patch 11.1.5. The following are some key content updates included in this patch.
Horrific VisionsN'Zoth's corruption is about to return, please return to Stormwind and Orgrimmar to accept the challenge. Remember to keep your sanity and be careful not to fail!
Battle ModeHorrific Visions will be able to support single-player or Group Queue battle modes. However, for players who want to form a team but do not have suitable teammates, you can invite the healer Construct of Soridormi as an NPC companion, who can be unaffected by sanity. This update also optimizes him to a certain extent to improve the player's gaming experience.
Horrific Vision MasksAs expected, the Horrific Vision Masks are also returning, including Mask of the Pained, Mask of Dark Imagination, Mask of the Long Night, Mask of the Burned Bridge, and Mask of the Daredevil. In addition, there are three new masks waiting to be discovered this time! You can activate higher difficulties and get more Heroic difficulty items that are more suitable for you.
New CurrencyPatch 11.1.5 brings a new currency to Horrific Vision - Displaced Corrupted Mementos currency. Players can use it at vendors in exchange for previously Displaced Corrupted Mementos. It can also be exchanged for new rewards in this Horrific Visions, including mounts, toys, transmogs, and even weapon enchantments.
Another important point of this update is that the developers decided to move Corrupted Weapon enchants to Helmet slot, so that all classes can use it.
Dastardly DuosPlayers have access to three hubs for Dastardly Duos, located in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and Dornogal. While Vinnie Sweets hosts the show, players can join in to fight animatronic versions of past bosses, earn power-ups, and fight for higher and higher scores. You and your team will need to fight two or more bosses, earning high scores by killing, dealing damage, and more. There are also specific achievements waiting to be unlocked that provide additional gameplay effects!
Nightfall ActivityAfter defeating Queen Ansurek, players will join the new faction Flame’s Radiance to defend Arathi from the Sureki army. It is composed of veterans Thaed Pyremaker and Mylton Wyldbraun.
The faction will launch new quests and activities during Hallowfall and Azj-Kahet to earn Renown and additional rewards. The Flame’s Radiance faction will offer ten Renown levels, and new rewards will be unlocked as you rank up. Including - new armor sets, Flame’s Radiance Tabard, weapons, and more.
All in all, Remove Guild Service the shop reflects WOW The War Within return to the nature of MMO games. And the upcoming Patch 11.1.5 will bring us a lot of fresh surprises. It won’t be long before players can see the exact time of the official release.
Genshin Impact Version 5.5 will bring us a new five-star Electro Catalys user - Varesa. As Thunder Warrior of Natlan’s Collective of Plenty, Varesa can perfectly combine air combat with elemental output through special Fiery Passion state.
In addition, it is not difficult for players to effectively build Varesa, and it is very diverse. Because of her flexible use of Plunging Attack and Electro, she is allowed to use a variety of Artifact and weapon combinations to adapt to different play styles.
Battle ModeAt present, it can be seen that Varesa’s core battle mode revolves around Nightsoul points, accumulating energy through high-altitude dives after charging attacks. When energy bar is full, Fiery Passion state activated can greatly increase the attack damage. In this state, the energy required to release elemental burst is less than the original, and combined with precise air raids, continuous output can be formed.
Therefore, in battle, players can adopt this cycle mode - start with Night-Rainbow, then use Plunging Attack to charge the attack and jump into the air to cause jumping attack, and finally reach Fiery Passion state to further enhance her post-Plunging Attack buff effect. One thing to note is that players need to carefully observe the battlefield situation in actual combat, use high altitude to avoid key skills when appropriate, and keep suppressing ground enemies at the same time.
Weapon 5-Star ChoiceVivid Notions: Provides secondary attributes of high basic attack and critical damage, both of which are perfect for her scaling. Its passive skill provides additional attack power and increases Plunging Attack damage by giving additional critical damage.
Crane’s Echoing Call: It is a team buff weapon that increases the team’s raid damage while optimizing energy circulation. Skyward Atlas: It can provide a stable attack bonus, suitable for players who pursue all-round development.As Varesa’s signature weapon, Vivid Notions is undoubtedly her first choice. It perfectly matches Varesa’s combat style and maximizes Varesa’s abilities. After the update, Genshin Impact will increase the probability of obtaining this weapon for a limited time. Players can actively participate in activities to accumulate $1 to obtain this weapon Vivid Notions.
4-Star ChoiceFlowing Purity: It is a cost-effective choice for forging weapons, and Elemental DMG Bonus is effective.
The Widsith: It is a burst damage increase weapon, and will randomly obtain three random theme songs: Recitative, Aria, and Interlude. Therefore, players need to pay attention to the randomness of the bonus.
Artifact Set 5-Piece Long Night’s OathIt mainly increases air combat damage, and the 2-piece bonus provides a significant 25% increase in Varesa’s Plunging Attack damage. The 4-piece bonus further amplifies this, increasing the overall damage output of her Plunging Attack.
4-Piece Obsidian CodexIt provides a stable attack bonus, suitable for the transition period when the exclusive Artifact Set has not yet been obtained. Its 2-piece bonus can greatly increase the damage caused, while the 4-piece bonus will increase Varesa’s critical hit rate.
In short, players can safely choose an artifact set that provides better secondary attributes and more stable critical hit rates according to their needs.
Skill upgrade priority Normal Attack: The core skill that directly affects the dive damage Elemental Skill: An important starting skill and energy acquisition method Elemental Burst: A qualitative change skill under Fiery Passion Team Building Varesa + Nahida + Fischl + ZhongliNahida can buff his teammates’ Elemental Skills based on their Element. It can also increase Electro DMG, and the shield ensures the output environment. Suitable for single combat.
Varesa + Bennett + Xiangling + KazuhaPlayers can use wind to gather monsters to improve AOE efficiency, and double fire buffs can significantly increase the team’s attack power. At the same time, Bennett’s elemental burst can also be used to provide other members with huge attack gains and healing effects. Suitable for clearing scenes.
Varesa + Yelan + Kokomi + SucroseAchieve crowd control by triggering Electro Charged at high frequency. This combination grouping enemies together, providing teammates with DMG buffs and reducing the enemy’s Elemental Resistance. Suitable for multi-wave battles such as Abyss.
Practical Notes Use the lift-off action to avoid ground skills, which is effective in boss battles such as Vishaps. Prioritize the release of Elemental Burst during Fiery Passion to enjoy energy consumption reduction. Use monster-gathering characters to maximize AOE benefits of dive attacks. Flexible use of normal attacks to connect output during the cooldown of elemental combat skills.All in all, Varesa’s training needs to focus on balancing crit and attack, and its unique combat mode provides players with a new operating experience. We expect players to gradually become familiar with the rhythm of air combat and allow Varesa to show its powerful capabilities.
Call of Duty is a classic shooting game. Every year, the developer will add many new features, and naturally many features will be abandoned. However, people are always nostalgic. Some features being abandoned will directly lead to the departure of old players, and old players are the driving force for the continuous update of the game.
If the classic features of the past can return, it may save the current sluggish market of Call of Duty.
Pick 10 Class System: Classic Loadout System From Black Ops 2This system is an indispensable part of the creation of a profession function in this series of games. Using this system, players can choose ten components according to their own needs, giving full play to the autonomy of players, so that players can choose their own equipment according to their actual situation and preferences, and enhance the free will of players.
Outbreak From Black Ops Cold WarThis particular feature is very different from the traditional zombie mode. The difficulty will increase according to the player comes to different areas. Of course, the player can also choose to retreat, and even get a lot of gifts.
With a vast game area and unique boss battles, this feature has gained numerous loyal fans a long time ago, so many old players are looking forward to the return of this feature.
Grief & Turned From Black Ops 2This is also a zombie game. Both modes are very interesting. Grief retains a lot of classic turn-based zombie gameplay, while Turned has a certain degree of novelty.
In simple terms, there are four players, three of whom play as zombies and one plays as a human. The human needs to kill the zombies, and as the zombies are killed, the weapons used by the human will also change. If you want to become more skilled, you can also practise in $1.
For zombies, they need to kill humans to obtain human identity. Every time they kill a zombie, they will get corresponding points, and the person with the highest points wins.
Emblem Editor From Black Ops 2From a single game mode to players can customize their appearance, Emblem Editor is finally produced. This is an important feature of the series of games. This special tool allows players to design their own emblems, and these emblems will appear on the player’s profile and be displayed at different stages of the game.
This to some extent increases the player’s sense of honor and identity, is conducive to the establishment of a harmonious community atmosphere, and is also conducive to players building their own emblem empire, so that they have a sense of construction and participation in the game.
Paint Shop From Black Ops 3The function of Paint Shop is similar to Emblem Editor mentioned above, but the difference is that this function is aimed at the personalization of weapons. Although it is a very niche function, some players may have higher requirements for the appearance of weapons. This function can meet the needs of these players.
And this supplementary design cannot be replaced by the later added stickers and decals, and has a special artistic quality.
DMZ From Warzone 2.0This function is not as prominent as other functions, but it is also very special. It is an evacuation shooting experience, and this mode provides players with a very high degree of freedom.
If the player successfully evacuates safely, he can store the loot he obtained, but if he fails, all the equipment will disappear. This function has attracted numerous niche players because it is simple to operate and has a certain degree of challenge.
We all know that the recent market conditions of Call of Duty are not good. Whether these expected functions can save it, we cannot predict, but what is certain is that it will attract many old players to return, and at the same time attract a wave of new players to join, which can at least bring a glimmer of hope to the sluggish Call of Duty game market.
Everyone must be familiar with the casual game Stardew Valley. You will play as a company employee in the game, and inherit your grandfather’s farm by chance. From then on, you will stay away from the workplace life and start a leisure journey.
This independent game plays an important role in the field of life simulation and farm games. You can explore this complete world in the game, you can communicate with others, and grow a lot of crops. It is very playable.
Although the world in this game looks peaceful and happy on the surface, there are many unusual secrets hidden around the valley and Pelican Town, and you can explore those hidden secrets.
Recently, a series of a new quality of life changes were made in its 1.6 update. For example, many $1 were added: large boxes, water bowls that can move pets, and other minor adjustments, all of which make your exploration in the game easier.
Flowers Wake Up Too Much Inventory SpaceHowever, the only flaw is that it ignores an improvement in quality of life: the unreasonable, excessive inventory space occupied by flowers.
As you’ve probably learned from experience, different colored flowers take up their own designated inventory slots, which is bad news for us players. Your inventory will fill up quickly, and it will be more difficult to manage your harvest.
Like most games, Stardew Valley has a relatively limited inventory space, so you’ll need to manage that space as you collect crops and other Stardew Valley Items around town.
With the clever addition of large chests, you actually have plenty of space to store Stardew Valley Items most of the time. However, flowers take up a lot of inventory, which can make inventory management a big fuss.
And different varieties and colors have their own inventory slots. That adds up to a staggering amount of inventory.
When it comes to harvest time in Stardew Valley, especially in the spring and summer, the biggest problem you face is picking and storing all the different colors of flowers.
Fairy rose, blue jazz, and summer spangle each have six unique color variations, while poppies have three and tulips have five different hues. In other words, most flowers you harvest will take up to six inventory slots, which is quite a lot.
How To Improve Inventory Management?In fact, Stardew Valley could avoid this annoyance by slightly revising the way flowers are stored and adding some new quality of life features to the game.
Generally speaking, the number of items you can store in one inventory slot is pretty lenient. Stone, wood, and almost all Stardew Valley Items in the game can be stacked up to 999 in one inventory slot.
And being able to carry so many things with you makes it easier to complete tasks, but it also makes the fact that some items can’t be stacked more obvious.
The best way to solve the problem of flowers taking up so much inventory space when harvested is to have the flowers category only take up one slot. And if the small drop-down menu in the inventory can have color options, you can choose the specific color you need.
If Stardew Valley made this slight change, it would greatly reduce your pain of picking and storing flowers and ease your inventory management. Hopefully, it will be as we wish.
As a fan of Pokemon Go, I recently heard some very bad news: Niantic announced that it had sold its gaming division to Scopely, which is part of the Saudi investment fund.
And Scopely acquired Pokemon Go for $3.5 billion. But I don’t have a good impression of the developer, so I am worried about the prospects of Pokemon Go.
In fact, before the outbreak, the thriving player community was all over the world. However, after the outbreak, everyone was forced to stay indoors. Since then, Pokemon Go has been on a downward trend.
As its fans, this situation is something we don’t want to see. And what’s more frustrating is that the game has changed a lot.
Paid TicketsPaid tickets have long been a part of Pokemon Go, and I don’t dislike them. Although this is a free game, the developers also need to make money to keep the game running and developing.
And we always find ways to play every event for free. Of course, there will always be some loyal fans who are willing to spend money to get more rewards and game experience.
However, the new changes in the game annoy me. As everyone knows, $1 are very important in the game, which you can get by battling in gyms or completing quests. But getting 50 coins a day is a big deal because it is not easy to get.
Coins can be used to trade premium tickets for any event of your choice, but now you can’t use coins to trade event passes. Forcing us to trade back with real money greatly undermines the motivation of free game players like us to continue working hard and reduces our enthusiasm for participating in the game.
It is undeniable that the new changes in Pokemon Go reflect predatory and exploitative nature, trying to squeeze as much cash as possible from us players.
AcquiredAnd the worse news is that Pokemon Go was acquired by Scopely. I guess everyone has seen the true face of Scopely. It is profit-oriented, such as ads that can be skipped for a fee and premium items sold directly.
The end of being acquired by it is foreseeable that Pokemon Go will become a game of paid entertainment. I can imagine that if you spend enough money, you’ll get Legendaries easily, and Master Balls will be readily available. But that takes away from the fun of struggling in the game.
Will the future of Pokemon Go get worse? Let’s wait and see.
Genshin Impact has announced the new regions added in the 5.5 update. In addition, this update also brings a lot of interesting new content to players, including new characters, new weapons, new events, and more. After the update, players can accumulate resources and improve their strength by participating in this limited-time event.
Here are the new contents added in version 5.5.
New Sub-regionA trailer was released in Special Program of Genshin Impact, showing the new sub-region unlocked in the 5.5 update.
The new area will be located in the southwest of Natlan. Players must first meet the members of Collective of Plenty before going to Great Volcano of Tollan. Collective of Plenty is the latest and last unannounced tribe in Natlan, so many players are looking forward to it. As can be seen in the trailer, the new area will have many floating islands, and players may need to use Phlogiston to move between them.
Natlan this long-awaited part features Great Volcano of Tollan, one of the most iconic landmarks of Pyro tribe. Official news also revealed that the volcano may have environmental effects, which has sparked heated discussions among players. The most popular speculation is that this environmental effect may be achieved by completing new quests.
New CharactersVersion 5.5 also brings two new characters, Iansan and Varesa. They will appear together with Xianyun, a favorite character of players who like Liyue. Players who like them should prepare enough $1 to obtain them!
IansanIansan is a fitness guru. Her rarity is only four stars, which disappointed some players because she appeared in the game’s trailer a long time ago. But her strength is still very impressive. As an Electro Polearm character, Iansan is very suitable as an Electro Support. Her normal attack is Weighted Spike, elemental skill is Thunderbolt Rush, and elemental burst is called Three Principles of Power.
She can also gain Nightsoul Points by moving other active characters besides her, which means that fast-moving DPS characters can use this to gain greater benefits. It also allows her to be used in a flexible team combination by players, and can complete tasks more efficiently during activities.
VaresaVaresa is a fast and furious masked hero, a five-star character, and her main source of attack damage is her Plunging Attacks-Plunge Opportunities can be obtained through normal attacks By the Horns, which makes Varesa more convenient. At the same time, this skill also allows her to use her charged attack and jump into the air to directly perform a jumping attack.
In addition, Varesa’s elemental skill is Riding Night-Rainbow, and her elemental burst is Guardian Vent. When holding an elemental skill, Varesa dashes forward and is able to break obstacles, jump, and walk across water, making it a splendid choice when exploring Natlan.
New EventsAs always, this update also has new events for players to look forward to. Players can get rewards by participating in these limited-time events, including weapon materials, as well as Genesis Crystals, etc., using these resources to enhance the strength of characters and weapons.
Tournament Of Glory In BloomThis competition in Natlan requires you to collect Sacred Flame Crystals to help a sick Saurian. The tribe must participate to obtain these crystals, and they can be obtained by fighting in two different ways, offensively and defensively.
Quirky Quacking ArenaThis is a cooperative event where you need to collect Adventure Coins in different arenas, use resources in item boxes to get more coins, or prevent other teams from scoring.
Rhythm Ball MeztliA music festival event for Springs tribe in Natlan, which will also be attended by Xilonen. This event requires you to use a racket to hit the ball back and forth to hit different elemental blocks.
Unlimited Fighting ChampionshipThis is a fighting event where players need to pass five stages of difficult challenges. Follow the directions in the event to get various buffs, and then use them to assist players to resist powerful bosses.
Overflowing FavorUse the power of Original Resin to help the silver tree bloom and obtain various blessings from the past, players can get double artifact drops in artifact domains.
New WeaponVersion 5.5 also has a new 5-star catalyst-Vivid Notions, which is the signature weapon of Varesa in the new character. Players can get it during the event.
