Finally! Shattered Spirit Necromancer is absolute GOD TIER in Diablo 4 Season 12
It'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 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!
ARC Raiders Update: New Enemies, Beard Customization, and Blueprint Controversy
ARC Raiders continues to bring players new gameplay experiences and insights with each update. This game, primarily focused on shooting and extraction, has launched a new seasonal event, mainly adjusting resource balance and also buffing enemies.
Each ARC Raiders update brings new challenges and opportunities, but player feedback on these updates can easily spark significant conflicts. Below is a breakdown of ARC Raiders update content, player requests, and subsequent developer updates.
IntroductionThe new event update largely follows this year's update roadmap, meeting player expectations. Shrouded Sky is the name of this update, and players can easily guess from the name that it will present significant environmental challenges.
Following the usual practice of seasonal events, Shrouded Sky creates environmental conditions unlike any before. The changes to the raid gameplay have many players eager to try their hand at the new map.
Hurricane map conditions introduce dust and debris into the air, affecting players' offense and defense. For example, strong winds often leave players overwhelmed in crisis situations.
On the other hand, sudden environmental chaos can also present an excellent opportunity to ambush enemies, maximizing damage while minimizing impact for a surprising and unexpected effect.
Open terrain allows hurricanes to rage more freely, increasing the difficulty of survival. Extreme weather and interference from ARC machines also place higher demands on players.
Update - Enemy and Character AppearanceThe update to ARC machines introduces two new ARC enemy variants. Breaking with established patterns, these new enemy variants alter combat strategies, such as in multi-location battles. To achieve victory, players are forced to change their strategies and step outside their comfort zones.
Besides these significant changes that force players to rethink their winning tactics. Other changes worth noting for players include changes to character appearance. Players can now equip various facial hair options.
Common hairs include stubble and beards, which undoubtedly add a fun element to otherwise monotonous battles and are a small way to showcase one's unique style. This also adds richness and diversity to Raiders' looting in Rust Belt.
Enhancement - ExpeditionIn ARC Raiders updates, players can clearly feel the developers' increasing emphasis on Expedition system, its importance self-evident. Initially, Expedition system was an experimental mechanism for recording progress.
Now, Expedition system is evolving into a more mature reputation system. Completing projects and objectives becomes the player's task; successfully completing a series unlocks personal milestones.
After completing an Expedition, the player's game progress is complete. They can choose to rewind and reset certain points, while also receiving permanent bonuses to better prepare for the next Expedition.
The rewards for completing Expeditions are quite substantial. Players can earn $1, receive character bonuses, increase warehouse capacity, and improve resource utilization. Throughout the year's update roadmap, players will find that Expedition system will be released in multiple cycles.
This also reflects that Expedition system may become a flagship feature of ARC Raiders, serving as one of its iconic elements. The highly distinctive Expedition system continuously satisfies players' curiosity.
Community - Mushroom WarsBesides the official new initiatives that have generated considerable discussion among players, some new hot topics have emerged in the games community, such as Mushroom Wars, which initially raises questions.
Regarding Mushroom Wars, mushrooms specifically refers to the organic resources needed for player exploration, which are generally very rare. However, as exploration progresses, players learn that resource spawn points are limited.
Waiting patiently at spawn points to obtain more resources has become a consensus among most players. Therefore, frequent battles erupt near spawn points, even those often located in remote and less-visited areas of the map.
This frequent warfare transforms resource acquisition into a predatory activity, significantly increasing the danger of the areas and making players vulnerable to death. This player-driven change in game mechanics is part of ARC Raiders' unique appeal.
ControversyLearning from the previous update, many players discovered a bug in the blueprint system. By employing specific techniques to farm chests at specific locations on the blueprints, players could obtain substantial amounts of weapons and loot.
This latest map update, however, patched the drop rate of resources, especially ARC Raiders blueprints. An excessively high blueprint drop rate is detrimental to gameplay.
Since this has negatively impacted player experience, to mitigate player frustration, developer Embark continues by increasing the probability of obtaining high-level crafting materials, thus reducing the negative impact of decreasing blueprint availability.
Every new game update inevitably draws criticism from a large player base, with a core focus on whether it protects their interests. Some players believe it's extremely beneficial for the long-term development of ARC Raiders. Others object, arguing that the acquisition speed of gear doesn't significantly improve.

ExpectationsThe latest update reveals that the next update will be Flashpoint. Flashpoint is expected to launch around the next phase of Escalation content cycle. While the developers haven't provided detailed information, players can generally infer from past updates that the map environment will probably change.
The biggest anticipated update for ARC Raiders is Rift Tide, expected to make a strong late-game appearance. The new environment will move away from Rust Belt, making exploring coastal biomes a new focus. The addition of a large ARC boss enemy will present players with even greater challenges.
The above summarizes the player's reactions to this update. Gathered here because of our love for ARC Raiders, please look forward to the next update!
Style vs Substance: The Brutal Reality of Marathon and ARC Raiders
Bungie's Marathon officially launched on March 5, 2026, and its striking similarity to Embark's ARC Raiders, released on October 30, 2025, has sparked considerable discussion among players. Can Marathon steal more players from ARC Raiders?
Initial data shows that Marathon's peak concurrent player count on Steam was slightly over 86,000. This is far less than its competitor, ARC Raiders, which boasted a remarkable 264,000 concurrent players on Steam upon its launch last October.
Both are PvPvE resource-grabbing games, inherently sharing many similarities. Both possess similar mechanics, such as shields, bandages, weapon attachments, traders, quests, stamina, and unique PvE enemies. Even both games feature energy guns.
So, given their high degree of similarity, what are the differences between these two games?
Game PerspectiveThe first and most obvious difference is the game's perspective. ARC Raiders offers a more forgiving third-person perspective, initially focused on PvE gameplay and still retaining strong PvE elements. Marathon, on the other hand, breaks the genre's boundaries, adopting a high-risk, high-reward first-person perspective, emphasizing player-versus-player combat. Marathon is known for its hardcore, PvP-centric gameplay.
Therefore, ARC Raiders allows you to experience pure PvE fun or fully enjoy the thrill of PvP. Marathon focuses more on PvP. These two games offer two different perspectives, allowing players to choose freely.
Frankly, you can play ARC Raiders casually without any problems. But Marathon is not so easy. I would even say that Marathon is not suitable for casual players.
Game InterfaceMarathon's HUD and user interface are a chaotic mess, like an obnoxious first-year art student's exhibition, filled with colors and symbols. While you eventually learn them, their design is far from intuitive. It looks like a random jumble of small cubes with some nonsensical designs; unless you read the descriptions, you have no idea what they are. Meanwhile, the map, PvE enemies, and sound effects are all a jumbled mess.
ARC Raiders currently offers a more polished and comprehensive experience. ARC Raiders's combat experience is far superior to Marathon's. You can attack monster parts, and they react. While fighting them is still frightening, they don't feel invincible. The monsters in Marathon are more like tanks, with only their heads as weak points.
ARC Raiders' sound design is simply amazing. You can accurately pinpoint the location of nearby machines through sound effects, and if you hear multiple machines, you can identify them solely by sound. Moreover, the gunshots are very pleasant to hear, and the environmental sound effects are perfectly in line with expectations.
ARC Raiders' map events and design are also superior. Flare flares truly offer players more options. Events like night raids, cold waves, and hurricanes genuinely change how players interact with the map, keeping the game constantly fresh.
Everything in ARC feels more meticulously designed: item pickup is clearer, the user interface is simpler and more ergonomic, missions and contracts provide a real sense of progress, you know exactly what to do, you have your own base, you can invest time at your own pace and desire, creating a more engaging intrinsic goal, and you can customize your character, both in appearance and skill tree.
Game ContentFor a game to maintain its longevity, it undoubtedly needs continuous updates and upgrades, bringing more challenging elements.
Many people love ARC Raiders because each extraction feels like completing a huge challenge, but since the first Expedition, players have rarely experienced that exhilarating moment of successfully extracting. Unless you play particularly recklessly, extractions are almost inevitable. However, Marathon does this much better; every successful extraction is a huge and exhilarating challenge.
Marathon is better suited to an extraction shooter because every moment is filled with brutal challenges. ARC Raiders, on the other hand, feels more like a PvE loot-hunting game. To obtain the high-level ARC Raiders Weapon, you must defeat Queen and Matriarch bosses, something many players haven't achieved even after two resets. Marathon makes high-level content more accessible through a clear faction progression system, rather than restricting it to specific enemies like ARC Raiders.
After the second Expedition, ARC Raiders' weaknesses became increasingly apparent. While I enjoy the game's social interactions, once you reach level 75, the items become as monotonous as a shopping list, leaving only those highlights. ARC Raiders should take a good look at Marathon. If there's any room for improvement in ARC, it's increasing the difficulty.
In addition, there's equipment. $1 are lackluster; aside from the golden weapon, the crafting costs for other equipment are pitifully low. I hope the consequences of PvP will be more severe, so players will be more motivated to seriously prepare their gear.
Everyone is comparing these two games because they are essentially both survival shooters. One will succeed, the other will fail - that's the reality. Most survival shooter players won't play both games simultaneously because they don't have that much time and energy.
Therefore, in the long run, Bungie and Embark need to compete for player bases. This is beneficial for players; both games need to continuously upgrade and improve to attract more players.

Diablo 4 Sep 12, 2024Will Secret Cow Level Appear As Players Expect In Diablo 4 DLC?
With the hot development of Diablo 4 Season 5, many players are also looking forward to the upcoming Season 6 and DLC on October 8. However, the recent Diablo 4 2.0 Public Test Realm has satisfied the curiosity of many players.
In the database of this test, players found several new items, which are similar to the key items for unlocking Secret Cow Level and Whimsyshire mechanism in Diablo 3. Although these items may only appear in the previous Easter Eggs or Red Herrings event, most players still think that this is an important clue for them to find that Secret Cow Level will return in the new Diablo 4 DLC.
In fact, since June last year, rumors that Secret Cow Level will return to Diablo 4 have been constantly. Although they have found countless clues related to it, there is no direct counterpart to prove that this mechanism is coming.
However, the players who love Diablo 4 have found some clues about Secret Cow Level and Whimsyshire because of their curiosity and enthusiasm for the new DLC.
Recently, Wowhead shared some new items found in Diablo 4 through D4 secret-finding Discord. It has to be said that in various aspects, they can easily evoke players’ memories of those items in Diablo 3 that can unlock the way to the private secret areas of individuals.
For example, the description of Rusted Bardiche seems to echo Bovine Bardiche. After Bovine Bardiche is transformed through Kanai’s Cube, it can lead to Not The Cow Level in Diablo 3.
In addition to Rusted Bardiche, the description of Rusted Old Bell, Crooked Staff, and Jabbering Gemstone all show a similar sense of echo. They look similar to Wirt’s Bell, Staff of Herding, and Gibbering Gemstone, respectively. To enter Whimsyshire, you need the three $1 mentioned above, which are often referred to as Pony Level.

What Secret Cow Level Elements Appear In Diablo 4 PTR? Rusted BardicheThis weapon, which smells like feces and is obviously rotten and difficult to use, makes you ask yourself whether you really want to choose it? This item has something in common with Diablo 3’s Bovine Bardiche, which can unlock Diablo 3’s Not The Cow Level.
Rusted Old BellThis once-significant weapon engraved with a W is now bloodstained, dilapidated, and its inner power has faded with the passage of time. It reminds me of Wirt’s Bell in Diablo 3, which can help you enter Whimsyshire.
Crooked StaffThe remains of a staff whose magical power has disappeared. It is now dilapidated. Staff of Herding in Diablo 3, which helps you enter Whimsyshire, seems to be a reference to this.
Jabbering GemstoneIt is shaped like a cloud and has the effect of making you want to communicate with others. Although it was once very valuable, it is no longer valuable now. It refers to Gibbering Gemstone in Diablo 3 that helps players enter Whimsyshire.
Speculations & CluesOriginally, Secret Cow Level was just a hoax created by the game fans in the original Diablo. However, when the developers added Easter eggs in Diablo: Hellfire expansion and StarCraft, Secret Cow Level gradually became a tacit joke within the gaming community.
It later appeared in the official game content of Diablo 2 in the form of Moo Moo Farm, and then even appeared again in World of WarCraft during Diablo 20th anniversary event.
Diablo 3 also combined this game format with the rainbow-filled Whimsyshire realm, although Not The Cow Level was also added for the game’s third anniversary.
Although this underground legend or something similar has not been found in Diablo 4, players still found clues while exploring the game. Some players found Forlorn Hovel in Diablo 4 by killing cows. According to their experience, some equipment items from the original keys to Secret Cow Level will drop in the game after killing cows.
There are also a group of players who try to perform purification rituals at mysterious ox statues or look for parts that look like cow heads on the map. Although Diablo 4 has tried hard to deny the existence of Secret Cow Level, it has accelerated the speed at which players can find its traces.
Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred will be launched on October 8th, meeting players as the first series of DLC for Diablo 4. If, as most players expect, the game developers add Secret Cow Level to DLC, then on the one hand, DLC may contain the final answers to various previous speculations about Secret Cow Level, which will naturally lead to the method of truly entering Secret Cow Level in Diablo 4; on the other hand, there may also be related required items in Diablo 4 Season 5 to help players get a smoother gaming experience in Secret Cow Level of DLC.

After each goal being accomplishing, there will be new challenges waiting for you to complete. You can also make the challenges more difficult in certain ways in exchange for more valuable rewards.
The type of rewards offered by a Hellbreach are determined by Burning Aether you have collected from enemy waves. When challenging powerful enemies, players will have a greater chance of getting more Aether or rarer Aether that will drop as you meet objectives throughout the seasonal dungeons. Other items of high rarity tied to Season 5 could also be dropped as additional rewards from Hellbreaches, such as Mother’s Gifts.

But before that, you need to collect Infernal Compasses, which will help unlock this mode, under which you will fight against waves of powerful Infernal Hordes. They usually drop some items of high value and rarity, serving as a good channel to get the dreamed Umbracrux Dagger.
The odds of dropping Umbracrux Dagger vary depending on the difficulty of the Infernal Horde that you have made. Obviously, the difficulties are proportional to relevant odds. Even if the odds are still low, there are other valuable rewards to be gained during this journey and fight. So it’s well worth a try. You can go through Hellbreaches on lower-difficulty World Tiers to make preparation for this tough battle with Hordes.
It should be noted that the chests from Infernal Hordes will build a direct relationship with the class of your character, which means the corresponding rewards are basically being ensured. Therefore, if you challenge Hordes with a Rogue character, you will embrace higher odds of getting Umbracrux Dagger.

Performing a Subterfuge skill also produced an enemy Shade Totem within a limited period, which can be targeted by enemies to deal damage, but any damage they take will be reflected back to surrounding enemies at 30% effectiveness.
Players can activate up to two Shade Totems, which may reduce the amount of damage reflection caused to enemies. Fortunately, this ability could be viewed as a Trap skill, which can be enhanced by any other items which are beneficial to those abilities.
Trap builds are normally be seen as a weaker choice when making a comparison with builds of other character, but for Rogue, it is truly an unbelievably buff.
The Best Way To Use Umbracrux DaggerAs a very rare Unique Item, Umbracrux Dagger is very powerful. But the value of every item with great potential should be perfectly utilized and explored. In the game, there are various classes and builds. It is not correct to simply combine two powerful things together to achieve better results. Every item has the most suitable combination, and Umbracrux Dagger is no exception.
Umbracrux Dagger will deal fatal attack against Infernal Hordes. And the best way to use it is to combine it with your friends, especially with Necromancers who own the ability to include allies of their own to Shade Totems you have summoned. Umbracrux Dagger in Diablo 4 Season 5 also offers players to get Totems persistently when fighting with enemies.

Below, we will tell you how to participate in partner event and what rewards you can get.
When Does Desert Bloom Partners Start?According to current speculation, there will be a banner event for two or three days after the end of Tycoon Racers, and then Desert Bloom Partners will be launched. Therefore, in my personal judgment, Desert Bloom Partners event is more likely to be held on September 11th or 12th. Participants will win a number of Monopoly Go Stickers.
Desert Bloom Partners RewardsAccording to the prediction, the following is a list of rewards and the points required to complete all four builds. Note that these rewards may change when the actual event starts, but it is almost certain that a wild sticker will be included in the final reward package.
5,000 Dice Wild Sticker Board TokenTo complete all four builds, you and your partners will need 320,000 points.
How To Play Desert Bloom Partners?To participate in the event, simply tap the green plus icon on the game board during the event to team up with other players. You cannot see or participate in Desert Bloom Partners event in-game until it officially starts. Next, you will need to collect as many event tokens as possible in-game.
Use these tokens to spin the event wheel to earn points for builds in Desert Bloom Partners. Of course, if you don't have more time to participate in the event, but don't want to miss out on the tempting rewards in the event, you can also choose to get $1 to assist you in completing the task.
How To Add Partners?You will need to add at least one partner by tapping one of the plus icons in the middle of the game board after the event starts. You will then see a list of people who have requested to add you as a partner and a list of suggested partners in your friends list, which you can add directly. If none of them have any of the people you want to be excellent partners with, you can note the names of the people you want to invite in the game, then return to the green plus icon on the game board to send your invitation.
If your partners are not actively contributing, you may need to undertake most of the tasks alone to complete the goal. Each partner, regardless of contribution, cannot be changed once added, so please carefully choose the best partner. Especially for unfamiliar players in many forums and Discord groups, try to find players with a high reputation on Discord as potential partners. It is wise to establish relationships and find potential partners as early as possible in Monopoly Go.

How To Get Points?To earn points by spinning the event wheel, you first need to collect event tokens. Once you have at least 20 tokens, you can first click the event icon on the right side of the screen after the event starts, and then select the multiplier you wish to use based on the number of tokens you have to earn attraction points. Choosing a higher multiplier will consume more tokens, but at the same time the points per spin will also increase. If you want to take less risk, you can choose a lower multiplier, so that the reward per spin will be less.
How To Get More Event Tokens?There are a number of ways to get Event Tokens. Completing Quick Wins, which is updated daily around 9am ET, usually rewards you with Event Tokens. Quick Wins usually offers three straightforward tasks when partner events are active. Completing these daily Quick Wins also helps you complete your weekly Quick Wins bar, which usually has a big reward at the end of the week. If you want to get the big weekly prize, it’s best to try to complete all the tasks.
Currently, Shop Gifts offer gifts every eight hours. Click on Shop icon and swipe the top panel to the right until you reach the end to claim your gifts. There you will find a gift, which may contain Event Tokens. Additionally, if you check today’s Event Schedule, you will find major events and tournaments running concurrently with Desert Bloom Partners. Visit the list of events and tournaments to see how many points you need to earn in an event or tournament to get the event items. Events and tournaments are a great way to get a lot of event items, including Event Tokens.
However, these specific tokens will not appear in Desert Bloom Partners events or tournaments that have started before. So the best strategy is to start playing as soon as the first tournament of the event starts.
By following the above steps, players can prepare for the upcoming Desert Bloom Partners event. As the event date approaches, staying alert and actively participating will allow you to get the most out of Desert Bloom Partners. I wish you a merry game and hope you win a glorious prize at this event!

NBA 2K Sep 05, 2024What Changes Will The Badge System Coming To NBA 2K25 Have?
The addition of new players and players changing teams is usually the focus of NBA 2K series updates, while other aspects of the game seem to have not seen significant progress. In the past, players have criticized the game for not having enough upgrades and the game content is often repetitive. However, NBA 2K25 will introduce some interesting new elements, such as the badge system, which has been slightly different. The badge system in NBA 2K25 will provide special attributes or advantages to players in different areas of the game.
Paying close attention to the diversity of badge types and the progress associated with each type can continuously improve your skills. In order to get a more comprehensive understanding of the changes that NBA 2K25 will bring, we need to take a deeper look at what new elements will be introduced.
The Importance Of Badges In NBA 2K25Badges play a vital role in NBA 2K games. In NBA 2K’s MyCareer mode, players usually focus on obtaining and upgrading badges for their player builds, constantly improving the players they create.
MyPlayer builds provide different options for players at each position, and the choice of badges is more dependent on these builds. For example, Finishing badges help players finish at the basket, which is particularly important for centers or power forwards.
Shooting badges are universal, especially for guards and wings. For point guards or point forwards, getting playmaking badges is crucial to help teammates build strong passing skills. Defensive badges are considered extremely important in all positions and player builds, as every player needs to have strong defensive skills.
Badges ensure that the game can enhance specific attributes to gain advantages based on the player’s chosen play style. Whether it is pro-am teams or outdoor park games, the key to success lies in the player’s versatility. Changes to badges have become a hot topic of discussion in the community. As NBA 2K25 begins to reveal information about the badge system update, we will see some major changes in NBA 2K25.

Some Noteworthy ChangesNBA 2K25 will have fewer badges, but each badge will play a more critical role. There are 40 skill badges to choose from, which are related to multiple factors such as the player’s height and position on the court. Compared to the 77 badges in NBA 2K24, each badge is now particularly important.
Previously, when badges were not fully utilized, players’ abilities in that area could decline. NBA 2K25 will address this issue by adopting only badge progression. Players will have more opportunities to use $1 to strengthen their players and teams, thereby gaining an advantage in various competitive scenarios.
NBA 2K25 plans to further enhance fan satisfaction by introducing a new legend tier. Badges will enhance players’ abilities exactly in the way players want them to. Whether it is three-point shooting, dribbling, playmaking or any other area of interest to players, this new change will provide a higher space for players’ skill ceiling.
While realistic animations have always been an important feature of NBA 2K series, the use of AI technology this year means that the effects of badges in NBA 2K25 will look more realistic and vivid, making it reach new heights this year. With the addition of new badges, NBA 2K25 will undoubtedly provide a richer gaming experience. These updated badges will greatly increase the fun of park mode or MyCareer games and provide new ways to improve players’ skills.
Badge ChangesBecause the total number of badges in NBA 2K25 has been reduced, this makes the new and changed badges in each category more important. Individual badges are now more focused on rebounding, defense, playmaking, and multiple ways to score. For example, defensive badges like Glove and Interceptor can significantly improve a player’s ability to steal as a top defender. And Limitless Range and Deadeye take three-point shooting in NBA 2K to a new level.
In the general offense category, there are two extremely important badges. Brick Wall helps players set screens more effectively, making opposing defenders more physically exhausted when defending. And Slippery Off-Ball makes it easier for players to find open space through screens. These detailed enhancements show a commitment to the continued evolution of the badge system. NBA 2K25 will introduce many changes in multiple game modes.
Players who like to participate in pro-am or park games will be motivated to make better progress through the badge system and find exactly the badge they need with fewer choices. These new ideas for the badge system may give players who were previously dissatisfied with the game a new experience.
With the upcoming release of NBA 2K25, players will begin exploring these new elements and perfecting your badges, besides significant improvements to the engine and gameplay of NBA 2K25.
NBA 2K25 also completely revamps several core game mechanics, and other gameplay improvements make the game more accessible, which fully demonstrates the uniqueness of NBA 2K25 and its difference from previous 2K series games. NBA 2K25 has the potential to become one of the most respected NBA 2K series in the series. Let’s wait and see how these changes will redefine NBA 2K gameplay and player interaction.
