General News

To provide players with more cost-effective gaming products and services, IGGM platform has officially launched a brand-new points system, designed to let you enjoy a superior shopping experience while spending less!

Below, we break down everything you need to know: how to earn points efficiently, use them for discounts or to redeem exciting rewards, and stack VIP benefits to maximize your savings.

Before Using the Points System - Registration Required

Please note that IGGM's new points system is available only to new-registered and logged-in users. If you haven't registered or logged in yet, you will need to do so to access Check-in and Points pages.

How to Earn Points?

Accumulating points at IGGM is simple and straightforward, primarily through two channels: daily check-ins and order rewards.

1. Daily Check-in

Simply click the "Check In Today" button on the IGGM Check-in Center page to complete your check-in; once the button changes to "️Checked In (Come back tomorrow)," your points have been successfully credited! Alternatively, you can also check in by clicking the current date on the calendar.

One-tap check-in (Easter egg)

There's a little Easter egg here! If you forget to check in for the day and land straight on the coupon redemption page, just tap the "little rocket" emoji at the bottom of the list to check in instantly - no need to navigate back to the Check-in Center. You'll still get those incremental rewards for consecutive check-ins.

Please note the visual differences between PC and mobile versions! For PC users, the small rocket only begins to shake and emit flames when you hover your cursor over it; a single click launches the rocket and credits your check-in points. For mobile users, the rocket icon shakes continuously—simply tap it to check in and earn your points instantly!

Other Check-in Entry

In addition, IGGM provides the following access points for quick and convenient daily check-ins:

1. Click "Go Now" on the coupon redemption page to visit the check-in center.

2. Click the coupon section at the bottom of the homepage to access the check-in center.

3. Click the banner at the bottom of any product page on IGGM to access the check-in center.

Incremental Rewards for Consecutive Check-ins

IGGM's check-in system rewards consistency. If you check in without interruption, your daily points will increase over time: 5 points on the first day, 6 points on the second, and 8 points on the third. From the fourth day onwards, as long as you maintain your streak, you will consistently receive the maximum reward of 10 points per day.

Notes: If you check in via the check-in banner on the product page during your shopping journey, you can return to your original page via Back Shopping at the bottom after completing the check-in and triggering the points accumulation. You don't have to worry about your shopping progress being affected!

Reset Upon Interruption

If you miss a day or break your streak for any reason, your progress will reset to zero. Your next check-in will start back at the Day 1 rate of 5 points. Please note that the daily check-in reset is based on the server's time zone; be sure to check in on time to avoid losing progress due to network issues or other interruptions.

2. Points for Orders

Additionally, whenever you make an order on the IGGM platform, the system will award you points based on your subtotal amount.

Point Accrual Rate: $1 = 1 Point

Under standard conditions, every $1 of your actual spending converts directly into 1 point. To simplify calculations for order amounts involving decimals, IGGM rounds to the nearest whole number when determining the points earned. For example, if you pay $17.35, you receive 17 points; if you pay $34.86, you receive 35 points.

To ensure system efficiency for small transactions, the subtotal amount paid for an order must be at least $1 to trigger point accrual; orders under $1 do not generate any points.

Furthermore, points for all orders will be automatically credited to your account by the system only after the order status has officially changed to "Completed"; the number of points corresponds to the amount of the qualifying purchase.

New User Perk: 10x Point Rewards

IGGM has a welcome gift for new users! Your first paid order on IGGM automatically qualifies for a generous 10x points reward (meaning you earn 10 points for every $1 spent).

Please note the calculation method: the subtotal amount is first rounded to the nearest whole number, and then multiplied by 10 to determine the points for your first order. For example, if your first order's subtotal is $17.35, you will receive 170 points ($17.35 → 17 × 10 = 170 points), rather than multiplying by 10 first and then rounding ($17.35 × 10 = 173.5 → 174 points).

However, if your first order's subtotal is less than $1, you will not receive any points, and your first-order privilege as a new user will be used up. Therefore, IGGM recommends buying higher-value items you need during your first order to make the most of the 10x point reward.

Due to the significant value of this offer, points for the first order will be credited after the order is successfully delivered and passes a security review, provided no refund occurs within 24 hours.

You can view the specific points added upon completion in the My Account → My Orders section of IGGM.com. If you have just completed a payment but do not see the points immediately, please do not worry - simply wait a short while.

Point Value and Validity

Understanding the value of your points helps you make the best use of them. In the IGGM point system, 100 points = $1 (meaning each point is worth approximately $0.01).

Please note that points are not valid indefinitely; each point expires 90 days from the date it was earned. IGGM employs a user-friendly rolling expiration policy: points earned on Day 1 will expire at the end of Day 91. The specific calculation time for rolling expiration depends on the time zone of your account's IP address.

You can check for notifications regarding points nearing expiration on the "My Points" page of your account at any time to ensure you don't miss out on benefits.

Multiple Ways to Use Points: Direct Cash Deduction and Coupon Exchange

When buying items on IGGM, you can choose to use your accumulated points to directly offset the cash cost of your order or exchange them for significant discounts at IGGM Coupon Redemption Center. The choice is entirely yours!

Option A: Direct Cash Deduction at Checkout

On the checkout page, you can use the points in your account balance to reduce the cost of your current order. However, to maintain the integrity of the IGGM points system, the proportion of the order total that can be offset by points is directly linked to your order subtotal.

Please refer to the table below for specific deduction ratios based on order subtotal ranges:

Important notes on using points for cash deductions:

1. Points are awarded only for successfully completed orders; orders that are voluntarily cancelled, flagged for suspected fraud, or fully refunded are not eligible for points;
2. Points for your first order are not credited immediately; they will be issued within 24 hours after successful delivery, provided no refund has occurred;
3. If an order involving points undergoes a partial refund, the system will deduct the corresponding points (rounded based on the refund amount) and return any points that were consumed. Returned Consumed Points = Consumed Points × (Refund Amount / Subtotal Amount);
4. Points can be used in conjunction with VIP discounts;
5. Cannot be used in conjunction with discount codes or cash coupons;
6. Cannot be exchanged for cash;
7. Cannot be withdrawn as cash;
8. Cannot be transferred between accounts;
9. IGGM.com reserves the right of final interpretation for all points-related policies.

Option B: Redeem Discount Codes or Cash Coupons

You can also visit the points redemption page to exchange points (in tiers ranging from 100 to 500 points) for discount codes (various rates) or cash coupons (subject to minimum order requirements). For example, the $10 cash coupon can only be used if your order's subtotal amount is $95 or more. If your subtotal is less than $95, the coupon will not automatically appear at checkout.

All discount codes and cash coupons are limited to 30 per week, first come, first served! Different colors clearly indicate the current stock status: green for 21-30 remaining, orange for 11-20, and red for 1-10. When stock reaches zero, it will display "Out of stock." But don't worry, just come back next week!

By the way, if you forget to check in for the day, the little rocket emoji on this coupon page is your quick way to do so! With a simple tap, a shake of the little rocket, and your points are in the bag!

While coupons are great, please keep in mind that all discount codes or cash coupons are valid for only 3 days. Redeem them carefully and ensure the items you wish to buy are in stock to avoid wasting your points.

You can view your coupons and their current expiration status on the My Account → My Coupons page.

Note: You can quickly access the coupon redemption page via the "Coupon Center" at the bottom of the IGGM homepage. We recommend bookmarking this page for convenient future check-ins and redemptions - saving you time and effort.

Notes on Points Redemption Coupons:

1. Only registered IGGM users are eligible to participate in points redemption.
2. Each reward is limited to the first 30 users per week on a first-come, first-served basis.
3. All discount codes and cash coupons require CF verification upon redemption.
4. Redeemed discount codes/cash coupons are valid for 3 days from the time of claim.
5. Only one discount code/cash coupon can be used per order. They cannot be combined with VIP discounts or points deductions.
6. Discount codes/cash coupons are not valid for gift cards and top-up services.
7. Redeemed discount codes, cash coupons and free orders cannot be returned or exchanged once claimed.
8. IGGM.com reserves the right of final interpretation.

Hidden Option C: Direct Exchange for In-Game Currency/Items (Coming Soon)

In addition to coupons, IGGM will soon add options to the redemption page allowing you to exchange points directly for specific in-game items, such as Monopoly GO cards, Diablo 4 materials, or POE 1/2 currency.

Once you meet the points requirements and click to redeem, a pop-up window will prompt you to enter the necessary delivery details for the game. After accurately filling in the information and completing the verification, the system will automatically generate a free order and display it in Coupon Order list; you just need to wait for it to be delivered safely. More point redemption features and options are coming soon - stay tuned!

If you encounter errors during the redemption verification process, please check your network connection and try again using a reliable VPN.

Furthermore, given the nature of virtual items, returns or exchanges are not possible once an order begins processing; however, if delivery fails due to issues on the IGGM platform, the points used will be fully refunded.

VIP Ranks & Benefits

For VIP members, IGGM offers tiered discounts to all users based on accumulated spending. Once your cumulative spending hits a specific threshold, you automatically unlock a permanent VIP discount:

VIP 1: Your Spending (<$1,000), Get a 1% discount.

VIP 2: Your Spending (≥ $1,000 and < $3,000) , Get a 2% discount.

VIP 3: Your Spending (≥ $3,000 and < $6,000), Get a 3% discount.

VIP 4: Your Spending (≥ $6,000 and < $10,000), Get a 4% discount.

VIP 5: Your Spending (≥$10,000), Get a 5% discount.

Discount Stacking Rules:

• VIP Discounts CAN be combined with Points Deductions.
• VIP Discounts CANNOT be stacked with Discount Codes or Cash Coupons.

At checkout, you may apply either:

• Option A: Discount Code or Cash Coupon (Alone)
• Option B: VIP Discount + Points Deduction (Note: Discount Codes and Cash Coupons are not valid for Gift Cards or Top-up services.)

Stacking Discounts and Maximizing Savings

How can you get the most savings when checking out? IGGM has designed a smart checkout system based on our VIP ranks and point-redemption rules.

At IGGM, VIP discounts stack perfectly with direct point deductions. However, please note that redeemed discount codes or cash coupons cannot be combined with VIP discounts or point deductions. Additionally, only one coupons may be used per order.

At checkout, the system automatically compares the final costs of "Option 1 (VIP Benefits + Direct Point Deduction)" and "Option 2 (Single Discount Codes or Cash Coupons)" to select the most cost-effective choice for you, saving you the trouble of manual calculations. Which option offers the best deal will be displayed next to that option (Best Value). Of course, if you have your own preferences regarding coupon and point usage, you are free to select your preferred discount method.

Refunds and Point Returns

IGGM's refund policy allows you to request a refund at any time prior to the completion of delivery. However, we have specific rules regarding the refund and rebate of your points in this situation:

Situation 1: Full Refund

If you cancel your order for personal reasons, orders suspected of fraud or requiring a full refund will not be awarded points; furthermore, points already used in such orders will not be refunded.

However, if a full refund is issued due to reasons attributable to IGGM, the points consumed for the order will be fully refunded to your account.

Situation 2: Partial Refund

If an order involving awarded points undergoes a partial refund due to special circumstances, the system will refund a portion of the consumed points on a pro-rata basis relative to the refund amount. Naturally, the points rebate you would have originally received upon order completion will also be adjusted; the corresponding points will be deducted based on the refund amount, with the figure rounded to the nearest whole number.

Here is the formula for calculating point returns during a refund:

• Returned Consumed Points = Consumed Points × (Refund Amount / Subtotal Amount)
• Deducted Earned Points = Subtotal Amount - Refund Amount (rounded to the nearest whole number)

The all-new IGGM member point system is designed to offer you more viable discount options for your long-term gaming purchases. Every point accumulated is a sincere token of our appreciation for your support.

Log in to your IGGM account now, visit the Check-in Center to start accumulating points, and experience a smarter, more rewarding checkout process like never before!

Frequently Asked Questions about IGGM Points System

Q1: Can I transfer my VIP 5 perks from my old account to a newly created account and start accumulating check-in points there?

A: No. To ensure account security and platform fairness, VIP tiers and points are treated as exclusive assets of an individual account. According to our system security rules, transferring, merging, or gifting perks across different accounts is strictly unsupported.

Q2: My account currently has 277 points. If I buy items worth $34.68 and use up all my points to get a $2.77 deduction, but later receive a partial refund of $15.44 due to certain factors, how many points will I end up with?

A: Your original $34.68 order generates 35 points based on rounding. Due to the partial refund of $15.44, the system will proportionately deduct 15 points (rounded to the nearest whole number). Therefore, the net points earned from this purchase will be: 35 - 15 = 20 points. Additionally, the system will return the points you consumed. Based on the calculation formula: Consumed Points × (Refund Amount / Total Purchase Amount), you will get back 123 points. As a result, your final account balance will be 123 + 20 = 143 points.

Q3: Can I create unlimited new IGGM accounts and place small orders to exploit the 10x points newcomer reward?

A: No. IGGM strictly prohibits the malicious registration of multiple accounts, utilizing technical exploits, or engaging in order manipulation to farm newcomer benefits. Our system is equipped with rigorous anti-fraud and risk control mechanisms: the 10x points multiplier for the first order will only be credited after the order is successfully delivered and passes a 24-hour anti-abuse system review. If the risk control system detects multi-account farming linked by the same IP, same device, same payment method, or malicious account associations, the platform reserves the right to permanently ban the related accounts and clear all accrued benefits.

Q4: I just registered an account and my first order was a small item for $0.9. Because it was under $1, the system didn't give me any points. Then, my second order was for $100. Why didn't my second order get the 10x points? My first order didn't receive any points anyway, shouldn't this second order count as my actual "valid first order"?

A: No. The system strictly identifies the "New User First Order" based on the very first paid order under your account, regardless of the transaction amount. The threshold ruling out points for subtotals under $1 is a foundational platform policy. Therefore, we highly recommend that new users consolidate their shopping carts on their first purchase and bundle higher-value items into the first order to fully maximize the value of the 10x points perk.

Q5: If a website error prevents me from checking in for the day, causing my check-in streak to break, what measures will IGGM take to compensate for my points loss?

A: We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. The daily check-in resets based on a specific time matching the server's time zone. If the streak is broken due to network latency or missing the refresh window, the system will strictly execute the automatic reset policy. We recommend completing your check-in as early as possible each day and ensuring a stable network environment. If the interruption is conclusively caused by a large-scale server outage on the platform, an official site-wide points compensation announcement will be issued once resolved. Please note that support agents do not have the authorization to manually alter individual check-in histories. Thank you for your understanding.

Q6: I spent 300 points to redeem a $5 cash coupon, but the game items I wanted have been out of stock on the platform for the past few days. As a result, the coupon expired within 3 days without being used. The stockout is the platform's issue, so why should my 300 points be deducted for nothing?

A: We apologize, but once a reward is redeemed at the Rewards Center, the corresponding points will be deducted and cannot be refunded. Because each reward is strictly limited to the first 30 users per week on a first-come, first-served basis, and the cash coupons are valid for 3 days, we highly recommend verifying current product stock and your purchase intent before making a redemption to avoid accidental cash coupon expiration.

Q7: Can I still request a refund if my order status is "Completed"? Can the points be refunded?

A: If IGGM has successfully completed the delivery and you have confirmed the order's completion, we unfortunately cannot honor refund requests. The points spent will not be returned. However, if IGGM fails to complete the service due to our own issues (for example, if Tycoon Racers carry service fails to help you achieve Rank #1), we will refund the points you spent according to the refund ratio.

Q8: Why do I keep encountering errors when trying to redeem a coupon?

A: Coupon redemption errors typically occur due to network instability or system security protocols. Your IP address might be flagged as originating from a high-risk region. We recommend adjusting your VPN settings or connecting to a different network, then trying again. If the issue persists, please reach out to our 24/7 Customer Support team for further assistance.

Q9: Can I use a script or plug-in to claim the weekly limited 30 discount codes/cash coupons available each week?

A: To ensure fairness for all players, we have implemented strict security measures. Redeeming any discount codes or cash coupons requires passing verification, rendering any script-based simulated clicks ineffective. IGGM reserves the right to void coupons and impose account restrictions on any account found using irregular methods (such as multi-instance farming, emulators, or third-party software) to forcibly claim coupons.

Q10: If I use points to offset the cost but later receive a refund due to special circumstances, will the validity period of the returned points be extended?

A: No. Returned points retain their original acquisition date and continue to follow the 90-day expiration rule; the IGGM platform will not reset or extend the expiration date due to a refund. Please use the returned points as soon as possible to avoid expiration!

Guys, since the release of Helldivers 2, the level cap for frontline warriors has undergone several changes.

The game initially locked the maximum level at 50, then significantly increased it to 150 in April 2024, providing new room for progression for players who had already reached the level cap.

Now, with another systemic progression update, on August 6th, the official confirmation came that the level cap will double again from 150, aiming for a new height of 300 - meaning that any warrior aspiring to leave their mark in Galactic War will have a much longer-term goal than before!

The Actual Difficulty of the New Cap

For players who haven't yet reached the level cap in Helldivers 2, it's crucial to have a realistic understanding of this new 300 level cap and the time commitment it represents.

Looking back at the journey from level 1 to level 150 in the game, it already requires hundreds of effective combat actions, spread across dozens of Galactic War campaign cycles.

The new level cap doesn't simply increase the experience required from level 150 by an equal amount; rather, it requires a significantly greater investment of experience to climb from level 150 to 300 compared to the previous level 0 to 150.

This change can be understood as Helldivers 2 intentionally creating an exceptionally long-term endurance marathon for players, ensuring long-serving veterans receive continuous and visible feedback on their progress.

It's important to note that since most of the combat gear or armor that affects us in the game are unlocked before level 25, each subsequent level upgrade is essentially a symbol of prestige.

Therefore, regardless of your current level, there's no need to be anxious about the new level 300 cap, as your combat power won't shift with this increase. What truly matters is your tactical judgment and teamwork in Helldivers 2 missions.

The Most Crucial Good News

The most reassuring aspect of this update is that the development team used the exact same method as before (level 50 to 150) - it's not just a simple change to the level cap; the system is quietly keeping track of your experience in the background. Even if you're already at the level cap, the experience gained from every mission isn't discarded; it's all accumulated.

Once Helldivers 2 patch goes live, the servers will switch to the new level conversion table, and the game will directly grab all the experience stored in your account, recalculate it according to the new 300-level table, and jump directly to your correct level.

So, if you're already level 150 and still diligently playing, don't worry, the system is secretly adding 151, 152, 153 levels for you… it's already quite high.

The moment the new level cap is unlocked, these numbers immediately become your new rank and title, no need to grind again, you'll take off from there!

What if your progress is different?

For players at different levels in Helldivers 2, the key takeaway is simple: play as usual. Don't try to change your playstyle to reach the new level cap.

Veterans at Level 150

If you have already reached level 150, then before the new patch is implemented, all you need to do is continue playing as usual.

You don't need to stop playing to wait for the level to skip ahead, and there's no need to stubbornly try to play the highest difficulty level - because no matter what difficulty you play, the system will remember every bit of your experience points.

Once the patch is implemented, the system will automatically recalculate your level, and your level will skyrocket, definitely surpassing level 150 by a significant margin.

Players in the Mid-Level Range (Levels 100-149)

Although these players are still a little short of the level cap, there's no need to panic. All the XP you gain in Helldivers 2 will be used up, as the new level cap simply paves a longer road ahead after level 150.

Complete your Major Orders and participate in Galactic Wars; focus on making your contribution.

New Helldivers Players (Low Level)

If you're currently at a low level in the game, don't think that level 300 is unattainable. Your priority right now is to familiarize yourself with the strategies for various enemies (such as Terminids and Automatons). Just focus on reaching level 25 first, as all the useful weapons and stratagems will be unlocked by then.

Once you get past this hurdle, your level will increase naturally with your combat pace, requiring minimal effort.

New Content Included

Actually, the increase in the level cap in Helldivers 2 wasn't a change made by the development team alone. There are two new features accompanying this change: Galactic War campaigns and Personal Campaign Progression tracks.

In short, the former organizes all the community-wide tasks into more tiered, phased goals. Even if the community's Major Order isn't achieved, your individual efforts won't be wasted; you'll still receive rewards for completing your sub-goals.

The latter is even more thoughtful, essentially giving you your own personalized battle report, recording kill counts, preferred mission types, extraction success rates, and various other data.

Furthermore, the development team will undoubtedly add many new titles, ranks, and various fancy cosmetic rewards along the long road from level 150 to 300 - perhaps even including Helldivers 2 Super Credits as extra easter eggs at specific milestones.

The first batch of Helldivers players to reach level 300 might just become legendary figures in the community.

Let's patiently await the implementation of the new Helldivers 2 patch, and look forward to everyone achieving new breakthroughs!

College Football 27 has finally released the Title Update August 6. This major update focuses on multiple areas, including gameplay mechanics, Dynasty Mode, Road to Glory, Team Builder, and Ultimate Team.

However, most of the changes in this update are not new content, but rather a large number of bug fixes. This also reflects how poorly College Football 27 performed at launch. Now, let's take a look at the most important fixes included in this update.

Gameplay

Blocking System Changes

The development team reduced the frequency of Pancake Blocks and adjusted the balance between aggressive blocking and defensive aggression.

However, the real issue College Football 27 needs to address is whether Weight Matter system actually works. Weight should influence blocking interactions, but it should not completely overpower defensive players.

The current problem is that even when the offensive side has the correct blocking assignments, certain defensive stunts can still easily break through the offensive line. Proper blocking assignments should be able to neutralize the corresponding defensive pressure.

Blocking Logic

Title Update August 6 improved blocking logic for wide receivers and running backs. In particular, when a running back blocks a single defender with a 3-player blocking setup, the system should now create space more effectively for the ball carrier.

The update also improved blocker movement routes after cutting off defenders and reduced situations where defensive tackles collide with each other during stunt plays.

Defensive Catching Improvements

Title Update August 6 improved defensive player behavior during Jump Ball situations and Interception Attempts. Players can now compete for higher catch points, while contested catch situations have improved tackling animations and increased chances of disrupting passes.

Cover 3 Match Defense Fixes

The update mainly improves the reliability of coverage logic, and Cover 3 Match defense is mainly designed to counter Spread Sets, but Cover 3 Match is not commonly used in this game.

Because CFB 27 meta heavily favors Compression Formations, which use condensed formations to attack both sides of the field effectively.

Man Coverage Target Adjustment Fixes

Title Update August 6 fixed an issue where On-Target Defender adjustments were not working correctly during Show Blitz situations. These adjustments will also no longer affect running plays.

Previously, defenders could use On-Target Defender adjustments at the line of scrimmage. If a player controlled a defensive lineman and enabled this option, linebackers could immediately break through the line before the snap. This update limits the adjustment to passing plays only, which solves the problem at its core.

Under Center Play Action Improvements

Under Center Play Action plays were almost impossible to execute in College Football 27 because pass rush speed was too fast. Players had to make every decision within roughly 2.5 seconds.

Because Play Action animations take too long to complete, players were forced to rely on Boot Action plays to create extra time.

However, Boot Action previously had an issue where defensive ends would freeze in place, and this update also fixes that problem.

Aggressive Defense

Aggressive Zone Defense and Aggressive Run Defense settings will make defenders attack downhill more aggressively.

This will make Tight End Pop Pass plays more effective. When linebackers and defensive linemen move forward aggressively, tight ends can run behind them and receive passes over the top.

Formation Adjustment Fixes

The update fixed an exploit that allowed players to place 4 or 5 receivers into Heavy Sets through formation adjustments. However, this fix only addresses the surface-level issue and does not solve the actual problem.

The better solution should not be restricting certain players from appearing in specific positions. Instead, the game mechanics themselves should determine the outcome.

Smaller players should still be allowed to line up in Heavy Sets, but if they face a heavy defensive formation, the result should naturally be unfavorable. Players should be able to appear in any position, while the consequences should be determined by the physics engine.

EVO Progression System

EVO Progression System has officially been introduced into Ultimate Team. Program Pillar EVO can be applied to any core player, allowing their overall rating to increase by completing objectives.

Limited-time EVOs can improve ratings, unlock abilities, change player types, and add new chemistry combinations. The system works similarly to Power-Ups.

This system will likely function similarly to EVO system in EA FC series. In addition to free EVO options, more powerful EVO upgrades may require College Football 27 coins to access.

Dynasty Mode

Recruiting and Transfer Portal

Before Title Update August 6, a major issue caused recruited high school players to randomly disappear after signing. This problem has now been mostly fixed.

However, issues with Transfer Portal still remain. Around 30 to 40 4-star transfer players disappear every year, while hundreds of 3-star transfer players are also missing annually.

The reason behind this issue may include excessive NIL requirements, insufficient roster space, or situations where certain players are never recruited at all.

From a gameplay balance perspective, this actually benefits smaller programs. These teams can find valuable players through Transfer Portal, and some two-star prospects can become strong players with proper development.

AI Recruiting

The issue of elite programs, such as University of Georgia and Ohio State, collecting too many 5-star recruits remains common. These teams may recruit eight or nine 5-star players in a single cycle, while 5-star talent distribution should be more balanced. However, this does not significantly impact overall balance.

Meanwhile, some smaller programs with enough recruiting resources still spend too much effort targeting 2-star players. Teams should prioritize 4-star and 5-star prospects first, and if they fail to land those players, they should move toward 3-star recruits instead of immediately dropping to 2-star targets.

Some teams also use their NIL budgets inefficiently, signing large numbers of 4-star and 3-star players. Because competition for lower-rated players is too intense, some schools even fail to complete a full recruiting class.

Player Development System

The most impactful change in this update is the adjustment to the player development system. The development team reduced the upgrade cost of Awareness-related attributes for all player archetypes, resulting in an overall increase in player ratings.

Awareness is the most direct way to increase a player's OVR. By lowering its upgrade cost, players can quickly raise overall ratings across their roster.

The position archetype benefiting the most is Coverage Specialist Safety. Before the update, upgrading Zone Coverage required 6 skill points, while after the update, improving Zone Coverage only requires 4 skill points.

After this change, the combination of Zone Coverage, Awareness, and Play Recognition upgrades allows Coverage Specialist Safeties to consistently reach extremely high overall ratings.

However, the overall rating increase mainly comes from Awareness inflation rather than actual improvements in football ability. A safety may now have an extremely high overall rating while still being average in important skills such as tackling and hit power.

Title Update August 6 is only the first part of the official update plan. Players can now test the changes included in this patch, and the development team has also revealed plans for future updates. Another update is expected to arrive at the end of August.

Although GTA 6, this year's most anticipated blockbuster, is all but confirmed for a November release, and pre-orders opened back in June, one can still find players voicing various complaints in the game's community and on related discussion threads.

These players seem conflicted about this monumental, game-changing title: on one hand, they are desperate to play it immediately; on the other, they nitpick every new update released by the developers.

This somewhat toxic atmosphere leaves more rational players baffled: even if GTA 6 turns out to be disappointing, is there really a need to complain about it every single day? Besides, the game hasn't even launched yet; doom-mongering is not only pointless but also irritating.

So, why has the latest entry in a series known for consistently high quality, Grand Theft Auto, sparked such a reaction? Is the fault entirely with the players, or is there an issue with the developer's promotional strategy? Let's break it down.

A mismatch between promotion and player expectations

Aside from the 2021 release of the somewhat unusual GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition (a remastered collection of three older titles), it has been 13 years since the launch of GTA 5.

During this time, not only have game production standards evolved, but player expectations regarding game quality and pre-release promotion have also shifted significantly.

The developer behind GTA has long favored an aloof marketing strategy: releasing trailers at intervals while leaving players to speculate on the details.

This approach worked well back in 2013, before the era of ubiquitous social media. With limited channels for information, players were willing to invest time in this sort of Pictionary-style guessing game with the developers.

However, we now live in an information-saturated age dominated by social media. In this context, a marketing strategy characterized by long periods of silence can actually backfire.

The passage of time has transformed the gaming community itself; as GTA 6 approaches its launch, it faces an audience with a younger average age, meaning traditional marketing strategies are bound to lose some of their effectiveness.

The release date for GTA 6 has already been pushed back twice; right up until pre-orders opened, many feared a third delay. Furthermore, the two trailers released so far came out two years ago and one year ago, respectively.

Against this backdrop, a lack of detailed promotional information has fueled constant leaks and speculation within the community, driving expectations for GTA VI to unrealistic heights.

Consequently, it is only natural for complaints to arise whenever newly revealed content fails to meet those inflated expectations.

The loss of the physical media experience

Whether they are long-time fans or newcomers, many players hold a special attachment to collect physical GTA discs. However, the pre-order details for GTA 6 came as a shock: not only has the price of Standard Edition increased, but the physical disc option has been eliminated entirely.

While the official justifications, facilitating pre-loading and preventing leaks, are plausible, this move does more than just tether your game assets to a virtual platform; it completely erodes the unique nostalgia and tangible appeal associated with physical Grand Theft Auto copies.

Pre-order details reveal further concerns

Beyond the absence of physical discs, GTA 6 pre-order information highlights another potential issue: exclusive content included in Ultimate Edition might actually be essential for the complete game experience.

Whether for GTA or any other game offering pre-order bonuses, exclusive content in premium editions should ideally consist of items that do not impact the core gameplay, such as skins or cosmetic items.

The approach taken with Grand Theft Auto 6 feels like it is practically forcing players to opt for Ultimate Edition.

Although rational voices might argue that the absence of this exclusive content won't affect the main storyline, if the developer finds this strategy profitable, even more unscrupulous tactics could be in store for the future.

Outdated PC delay strategy

Despite significant advancements in PC hardware and a rapidly growing PC player base over the last decade, GTA 6, at least for now, is sticking to a console-first, PC-later release strategy (launching exclusively on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S).

This means a massive PC player base is not only forcibly excluded from the initial launch excitement but may also face a scenario: forcing players who own both platforms to choose between missing the launch or sacrificing PC experience.

Even more awkward is the fact that console users themselves may encounter various potential bugs during actual gameplay. Judging by the existing GTA 6 trailers, rendering such high-fidelity visuals will place an immense strain on hardware performance.

Defensive criticism of the players

If the reasons mentioned above suggest that the prevailing culture of complaint within Grand Theft Auto VI community stems from both players and developers, there is also an unavoidable, objective curse at play.

Since its inception, GTA series has garnered such critical acclaim that it occupies an exalted position in the industry. Consequently, players often develop a defensive mindset, fearing they might be disappointed when they finally get their hands on GTA 6.

More specifically, the strategy involves actively seeking out flaws prior to release to indirectly lower expectations for GTA VI, thereby shielding themselves from the pain of a potential letdown.

This is a macro-level, immutable factor: every game strives for improvement, yet success inevitably raises player expectations; thus, this kind of defensive criticism is bound to surface whenever a new title launches.

New trailers on the way!

After all that somewhat disheartening analysis, let's lift your spirits with some exciting news about GTA 6! After all, this blockbuster is certainly worth the anticipation.

GTA VI is scheduled to release an extended look via Netflix on August 27th, and observant fans have noted that the runtime could be around 30 minutes!

This suggests it won't simply be a standard Trailer 3, but will likely include substantial gameplay footage. If you're looking for information to help decide whether to pre-order, you definitely won't want to miss this!

If this new extended look wins you over and makes you want to pre-order the game immediately, why not also pre-order GTA 6 money at IGGM?

That way, no matter what hidden features or content are ultimately added to GTA VI, you'll be able to unlock them right away and enjoy the smoothest possible gaming experience!

As August arrives, the final MLB The Show 26 July Spotlight Program and its card collections have now been fully released. Players can obtain various cards and packs through free methods, while many new cards have also been added to the marketplace.

MLB 26 July Spotlight Drop 4 and July Lightning Collection were released at the same time, allowing players to earn many free cards through this event. Let's take a look at the overall quality of these cards.

July Spotlight Drop 4 Program Rewards

Most of the rewards in this Program are player cards, with the majority rated between 97 and 98 OVR. While they may not be considered the absolute top tier, each card still has practical value in different situations.

Topps Now Players

Jase Bowen

The biggest advantage of Jase Bowen is his versatility. He has excellent defensive coverage and can play every position in both the infield and outfield. His speed and arm strength are impressive, while his remaining attributes are fairly balanced.

Topps Now cards usually emphasize a player's recent performances, and this card's Contact vs R and Power vs R should be significantly stronger than his Live Series version, making him a comfortable option against right-handed starters.

Kody Clemens

Kody Clemens is naturally a left-handed hitter, and Topps Now version enhances his power-hitting ability. This card features 93 Contact and 98 Power against right-handed pitchers, along with 83 Vision, 100 Clutch, and 96 Power.

The biggest selling point of this card is the high Contact and Power against right-handed pitchers. He is the type of hitter who can send the ball over the fence with one solid swing.

Royce Lewis

Royce Lewis also delivered a strong performance in the same series, hitting a walk-off triple. He appears to have regained his form recently and recorded a three-hit performance against Royals. This card is designed as a second baseman, and after returning from injury, he has experimented with multiple defensive positions, including first base.

The attributes on this card are very solid, with excellent Contact, Power, and Clutch ratings. He has a high-quality swing, but his value is somewhat limited due to being a right-handed hitter and facing competition at his positions.

Shawn Ross

At this stage of MLB The Show 26, most cards already offer decent usability. Shawn Ross represents this type of card. Although he is not a top-tier option, he can definitely earn a place in a lineup. He can play catcher, middle infield, and every outfield position, making him similar to a weaker version of Cole Carrigg.

Spotlight Players

Chandler Simpson

During his roughly four-year professional career, Chandler Simpson has only hit one professional home run, making power his biggest weakness. However, his speed, defense, and hitting attributes (108/107) are all at elite levels.

He is essentially a left-handed version of Honus Wagner. Players can use his bunting ability and speed to create scoring opportunities, making him a very effective option in Ranked games.

Troy Melton

Troy Melton is currently one of the best pitchers in the league. With a combination of a Sinker and Cutter, he provides a free and reliable starting pitcher option with a complete pitch selection.

His fastball velocity can reach 98 MPH, and he also has Pick Off Artist Quirk, allowing him to effectively control opposing runners.

Andruw Monasterio

Andruw Monasterio has maxed-out Contact against left-handed pitchers and 110 Contact against right-handed pitchers, along with 80 Vision, 106 Clutch, and 91/104 Power. His overall attributes are quite strong, although his defensive ability is slightly weaker. He is not recommended for shortstop and performs better at second base or first base.

Ty France

Another Twins legend joins the lineup. This year, he has been one of the best hitters for San Diego Padres, and his first-base defense has reached Gold Glove level. His hitting ability against right-handed pitchers reaches 120 Contact and 107 Power, while his performance against left-handed pitchers is also strong with 125 Contact.

Ty France provides excellent defense at first base, but his arm strength is only 40, so placing him at third base is not recommended. His 80 Vision can have a noticeable impact on higher difficulties such as Hall of Fame and Legend, while it is much less of an issue on All-Star difficulty.

Brent Headrick

Brent Headrick is a pitcher who played for New York Yankees and features a four-pitch combination consisting of a 4-Seam Fastball, Slider, Sinker, and Splitter.

He has maxed-out suppression against right-handed hitters. Although he does not have a Cutter, he remains one of the strongest new cards released this time and can immediately enter the bullpen of many players. He is highly recommended.

Gabriel Moreno

This 99 OVR catcher card features maxed-out Clutch and 100 Vision. With Power or Speed boosts, his Power can increase to 79-94, while his Speed can also reach above 50. His Pop Time attribute is excellent as well, making him a very strong defensive catcher.

Lightning and Retro Lightning Cards

David Ortiz

The most attractive card from this event is undoubtedly 99 OVR David Ortiz card. His attributes are outstanding, featuring 120 and 105 Contact, 80 Vision, 110 Clutch, and 110 Power against both right-handed and left-handed pitchers. He is best suited for first base or designated hitter.

CJ Abrams

CJ Abrams' defensive rating has increased from 30 on his Live Series card to 60, which is still not considered elite in MLB 26, but it is a noticeable improvement and makes his overall performance look better.

In terms of hitting, he has excellent numbers against right-handed pitchers with 113 Contact and 115 Power, while also maintaining solid performance against left-handed pitchers with 96 Contact and 95 Power. His 90 Speed, 120 Clutch, and 80 Vision, combined with his smooth swing animation, make him a strong card.

However, whether he can become the starting shortstop on every roster remains uncertain, and his arm strength still needs improvement.

Brice Turang

Brice Turang features impressive hitting attributes with 120 Contact and 116 Contact, along with 90 Vision and maxed-out Clutch. He also has 90 Power against right-handed pitchers.

His defense is elite, allowing him to play second base, shortstop, and almost every infield position except first base and catcher. His 86 Speed is solid, although his arm strength may become a weakness when playing in the outfield.

This concludes the general overview of MLB The Show 26 July Spotlight player updates. The bullpen group is the biggest highlight of this release, as multiple free or easily obtainable relief pitcher cards provide top-tier practical value. Among position players, Ezekiel Duran and Chandler Simpson are the cards worth paying close attention to.

For players planning to complete Retro Lightning Collection, waiting until the later stages of the event when market value decline before obtaining these cards is the better approach.

Alternatively, you can buy MLB The Show 26 stubs from IGGM and then fill in the missing players on the market, allowing you to experience these players ahead of other players.

At this stage of Mistfall Hunter, your primary goal when completing challenges should be to farm more Gyldenblod.

This ensures that when you transition into the more dangerous, gear-intensive endgame, you have the resources ready to consume for character upgrades and can handle challenges with ease.

Undoubtedly, regardless of which map you explore, higher difficulty settings yield richer rewards; farming on Cataclysm difficulty is the ideal choice.

If you are planning to do this but worry about failure or lack a clear farming strategy, don't worry, we have a dedicated guide for you!

Focusing on Solo PvE

Mistfall Hunter is a PvPvE game that supports squads of up to three players. However, if your goal is to focus on farming Mistfall Hunter gold at high difficulty levels, venturing out solo, while avoiding PvP conflicts whenever possible, is the better approach.

This is primarily because the main sources of Gyldenblod are PvE encounters and missions. Grouping up significantly increases the likelihood of being spotted by other human players, making it harder to avoid unnecessary PvP skirmishes.

Shadowstrix is the ideal class

While you can technically play any class, Shadowstrix is the best choice if you want to farm resources on high-difficulty maps while minimizing the risk of detection.

This class boasts exceptional stealth and mobility, allowing you to quickly evade both PvP and PvE threats. Combined with its massive burst damage, it stands out as a formidable option for solo play.

Of course, Shadowstrix isn't without flaws; its lower base health and armor make it vulnerable to being overwhelmed and killed. Additionally, some skills have very long cooldowns, requiring precise timing for their use.

Fortunately, you can mitigate these weaknesses by carefully selecting your gear, skills, and talents to craft a cohesive build, something we will explore in greater detail later.

Using the right Tavern Wine

In Mistfall Hunter, Tavern Wine, also known as Victory Wine, is a consumable item that provides buffs. Drinking it before combat grants a brief but highly beneficial boost to your stats.

These buff items do not drop during combat; instead, they are part of the consumable system managed at your camp. Initially, you have access to free wine; as your camp upgrades, you will unlock Premium Brews that offer superior buffs.

If you have unlocked the premium wine options, choose either War Blood or God's Brew. Both allow you to allocate more points to your attributes.

It is recommended to invest two points into Aegis to reach Level 5 bonus threshold, while also putting one point into Deft and Valor, and two points into Fervor.

With God's Brew, you will even have two extra points available to allocate according to your personal preference.

Talent tree setup

As your Mistfall Hunter levels up, you gain more points to allocate within the talent tree. Note that each class features a unique talent tree.

For Shadowstrix players aiming to improve survivability and farming efficiency on Cataclysm difficulty, the first priority is unlocking Sleight of Hand. This talent allows you to open doors and pick up items while stealthed without breaking concealment.

This means you can loot freely without revealing your position, whether facing PvP or PvE enemies.

We also recommend investing one point in Monster Hunter talent. While it boosts PvE damage, it slightly reduces your PvP advantage, though PvP is not the focus of this farming guide.

If you do intend to engage in PvP, you can move this point elsewhere; however, keeping it is advisable, as the extra damage helps you handle dangerous PvE encounters, such as Winter Trials.

As for the remaining six talent points, if you have mastered Shadowstrix playstyle, feel free to allocate them based on personal preference. Otherwise, invest two points into Crow Storm.

This enhances Crow Storm with a larger AoE radius and a stun effect. It boosts survivability, for instance, if you are being pursued, you can cast Crow Storm to stun enemies and create a barrier.

Next, Unstoppable talent grants you Super Armor while using Spinning Slash with Dual Blades. Additionally, Stance Recovery helps minimize the cooldown of your stealth abilities.

Lightweight allows for animation canceling, meaning you can dodge at any moment, even while an attack animation is in progress, which is highly beneficial when facing large monsters in PvE combat.

If you have spare points, consider investing in Wound Buildup. This skill applies a stacking effect when you hit enemies with dual-blade attacks; once ten stacks accumulate, they detonate to deal physical damage. However, unlike the previously mentioned talents, this is not strictly necessary.

Make smart use of tactical items

If you have accumulated a significant amount of gold through farming, don't hesitate to consume it on reliable tactical items to aid you during dangerous solo Cataclysm farming runs.

For instance, Spellbound Key can instantly open or close interactive doors and chests when thrown at them. Its cooldown is even shorter in solo mode.

Silence Dust can further speed up the opening and closing of doors, a tactic that works wonders when you are kiting enemies to maintain distance.

Legendary-tier Soul of Return allows you to instantly teleport back to camp without having to face remaining threats. Given its extreme rarity, however, it is not essential, merely a nice-to-have bonus.

Specific farming routes

While the points above cover the preparations needed for safe and efficient Cataclysm farming, you also need a solid route once you spawn into the map.

Take Brindergard map as an example. If your spawn point is close to an Elite Quest, make every effort to secure it; beyond a generous Gyldenblod payout, these quests have a high chance of dropping Legendary or even Holy-tier gear.

Don't worry if you miss out on an Elite Quest, though. Simply observe the nearby objectives and plan a route to complete them one by one based on their locations.

If you are confident in your skills, you might also try tackling combat encounters that reward purple chests. In solo mode, you get to keep all the loot for yourself.

That covers everything for this guide! If your gold reserves are low or you lack powerful gear, follow the tips above and get started right away!

Raiders, I'm sure everyone's been busy with the first part of ARC Raiders Phantom Targets project these past few days! The first part of Phantom Targets doesn't seem complicated at first glance, but once you get started, many players find that relying solely on intuition for many details is not only time-consuming but also wastes scarce resources on inefficient repetitive tasks.

Actually, if you can slightly adjust the order and tactics of a few key steps in ARC Raiders - for example, choosing the right enclosed area and distinguishing between primary and secondary objectives - the whole process will be much smoother.

Page 1: Repair Antennas

The objective on the first page of Phantom Targets project is to repair three power lines on top of the elevator on the designated map. You just need to approach and perform the upgrade interaction.

However, this part might lead to a significant misconception: the progress bar animation resets to its initial state after completion, easily causing players to mistakenly believe their actions haven't taken effect. But in reality, ARC Raiders has already recorded the number of attempts, and the mission will automatically progress after repairing the three antennas in sequence.

Upon completing this objective, we will receive basic rewards such as Combat Mk. 3 (Aggressive), Heavy Shield, and Vita Spray.

Page 2: Deal Fixed Damage Using Drive Devices

Objective

On the second page of Phantom Targets project, our objective is to accumulate damage using three devices: Pop Triggers (50 points), Wasp Drivers (500 points), and Leaper Pulse Unit (1000 points).

Although these target values ​​are not high, they are easy to miss if thrown randomly - especially since Leaper Pulse Unit requires us to kill Leaper first to obtain it - once wasted, we have to hunt it again, which seriously slows down the efficiency of Phantom Targets project.

Therefore, the core focus here is not on the throwing itself, but on ensuring that each hit deals full damage, avoiding repetitive work.

Optimal Location

The most cost-effective strategy is to choose the small room on the second floor of Port Authority building on Riven Tides map. It's narrow and has a lockable door, making it easy to lure the enemy inside and isolate them.

At this point, if we throw the three types of propulsion devices at close range, the damage will almost never miss because ARC enemy cannot move and the space is enclosed, maximizing output each time.

Enemy Selection Recommendations

Based on practical testing, using two Leaper Pulse Units against Shredder can reliably deal approximately 320 damage. While the damage per hit isn't high, with simple and controllable operation, it can steadily accumulate to 1000 points.

In contrast, while Bastion has more health, it moves frequently and has a wide attack range. Even if stunned, it's difficult to immobilize, significantly reducing the hit rate.

Bastion's single-hit damage is only 20 to 30 points higher than Shredder's, but the risk and effort are multiplied, making it completely not worthwhile.

This page rewards three ARC Raiders legendary weapons: Dolabra, Jupiter, and Aphelion, along with 50 Raider Tokens.

Page 3: Fire Damage, Energy Weapon Kills, Launcher Ammo Weapon Kills

Fire Damage Accumulation

This Phantom Targets mission can be completed using Firefly Burner, Flame Spray, Fireball Burner, or Blaze Grenade, but it's most prone to inefficiency because of inappropriate target selection.

Shredder was recommended for kills earlier, but in this mission, Shredder moves rapidly after being burned, making it difficult to sustain the fire pool's heat, resulting in very low rewards.

The best enemy choice is Bombardier, as it tends to stand still and launch ranged attacks when enraged, making it easy to hit directly with Fireball Burner or Blaze Grenade and keep it within the fire damage range.

Each throw reliably yields several hundred points of damage, so five to six throws will reach the 1500-point target.

Energy Weapons to Eliminate Targeted ARCs

In this mission, we must eliminate Bastion, Leaper, Vaporizer, or Rocketeer a total of three times (the final hit must be with energy weapons).

The safest target is Rocketeer. We can use the terrain to maneuver at a distance of about 300 meters. Its pursuit speed is relatively slow, giving us ample time to accurately fire with Jupiter until the final blow.

If we choose Bastion as the target, we need to first shoot its legs to paralyze it, then attack its top armor to expose its core.

Launcher Ammo Weapons to Eliminate Flying ARCs

This mission is relatively simple in the first part of Phantom Targets. Using Hullcracker or Rascal will suffice.

We can prioritize targeting Flying ARCs with lower health, such as Wasp and Hornet, aiming to destroy them with a single shot.

The map chosen is still Riven Tides, as it has the highest density of Flying ARCs, allowing us to attract many Wasps.

If you lack any resources to help you complete Phantom Targets missions mentioned above, you can buy ARC Raiders items from IGGM.com to complete Part 1 of Phantom Targets more quickly.

It's worth mentioning that we now have IGGM Check-in (Only for new registered users) system. By checking in regularly, you'll earn points - accumulating enough points allows you to deduct cash from your purchases or redeem coupons, making shopping at IGGM more cost-effective!

Subsequent Unlocks

Once you complete Part 1 of your Phantom Targets project, Part 2 will not be available immediately. You will have to wait until August 18th to unlock the new quest chain in the game.

By choosing the correct locations and targets throughout ARC Raiders Phantom Targets missions, we can efficiently clear all obstacles and prepare for Part 2!

Among the many builds in Path of Exile 2, traditional spell builds typically rely on high skill levels, damage conversion, or pure critical strike chance to increase output. Liminal Coil Curse Stacking Infernalist build, however, takes a completely different approach.

The core of this build utilizes the unique mechanics of the new unique item in patch 0.5.0 - Liminal Coil Twisted Wand - to inflict massive additional damage on enemies after they have received multiple curves. Combined with the high-frequency projection of Coiling Bolts, this instantly amplifies the damage.

Next, I will provide an in-depth analysis of this Curse Stacking Infernalist build's gear selection, skill links, passive build path, and practical strategies, helping you find new enjoyment in endgame deck building.

Core Mechanics: How Liminal Coil Achieves Curse-Based Damage

Liminal Coil is a unique Wand that requires Level 65 and 114 Int. Its core modifiers are as follows:

• Magnitudes of Curses you inflict are zero.
• Curses you inflict ignore Curse limit.
• Spell Hits Gain (23-31)% of Damage as Extra Chaos Damage per Curse on target.
• Spell Hits Gain (23-31)% of Damage as Extra Physical Damage per Curse on target.

The last two modifiers are the soul of the entire build: each curse's bonus is calculated independently. Assuming you maintain 6 curses on an enemy simultaneously, each spell hit will grant approximately 6 × 25% = 150% extra Chaos Damage + 150% extra Physical Damage.

Since the extra damage is an independent multiplicative addition to the original damage, this bonus is amplified by all damage-boosting effects such as Spell Damage, critical hits, and Archon Buff, resulting in exponential damage growth.

To maximize this mechanism, you need to choose Spell skills that can hit enemies frequently, and the Coiling Bolts provided by Liminal Coil perfectly meet this need. It continuously triggers the Extra Damage effect through numerous Projectile Hit, ensuring that every Curse is consistently converted into damage output.

Equipment Selection

In addition to Liminal Coil Twisted Wand, an essential weapon for this build mentioned above, we also need to collect the following equipment as much as possible.

Helmet: Alpha's Howl Armored Cap

Choosing 3-Socket Alpha's Howl is not primarily for its inherent stats, but rather to utilize it for Dominion Anoint.

The purpose of Dominion is to reduce or remove Archon Buff's regeneration interval, allowing Archon Buff to maintain a more stable and continuous uptime. For this Liminal Coil Curse Stacking Infernalist Build, consistently maintaining the Archon Buff is crucial, as it further amplifies the extra damage from the number of Curses, making overall output more stable.

Amulet: Thaumaturgic Generator

The core function of Thaumaturgic Generator is to provide Charge generation, helping the character maintain various Charge states and thus gain additional combat attributes.

It doesn't directly provide skill speed or critical strike chance, but rather benefits through the Charge mechanic and related support effects. For example, Power Charge can be used to increase critical strike chance, and Frenzy Charge can increase skill casting speed, thereby enhancing the output frequency and burst potential of Coiling Bolts.

In addition, Endurance Charge provides defensive attributes such as armor, dodge, and energy shield. While these defensive benefits have limited impact on the overall output of this build, the consistent Charge generation mechanism itself still helps maintain the overall combat rhythm.

Foci: Runeforged Tasalian Focus

Foci affix selection primarily revolves around increasing spell damage output. Prioritize Spell Damage and Cold Damage, followed by +1 spell skill level to further increase base skill damage. If possible, reroll for affixes with critical strike chance to further enhance burst damage.

Due to the high requirements for gear affixes and crafting in this build, a significant amount of currency is typically needed for gear completion. If needed, you can directly buy PoE 2 currency at IGGM.com to experience the complete output flow of this build.

If you want to purchase at a lower price, simply create and log in to an IGGM account, participate in daily check-ins to earn points, which can be redeemed for IGGM Coupon that can discount orders, and even have a chance to directly redeem Divine Orb!

Skill Links

Main Skill: Coiling Bolts

Coiling Bolts is the core output skill of this build. Since the damage mechanism of Liminal Coil depends on the number of Curse on the enemy, high-frequency projectile hits are crucial.

For secondary gems, choose Toll's Embrace, Embitter, and Trickster Shard. Toll's Embrace provides additional chaos damage, making the skill more compatible with Liminal Coil's Extra Chaos Damage mechanic; Embitter enhances cold damage and utilizes Freeze in conjunction with Cast on Element to trigger related effects; Trickster Shard provides execute capability against low-health enemies, improving finishing efficiency.

Curse System: Blasphemy + Cast on Critical

The core of this build is to increase Liminal Coil's extra damage through a large number of Curses. Blasphemy can convert Curses into Aura, continuously inflicting a curse effect on enemies around the character.

Meanwhile, Cast on Critical supplements additional Curses, further increasing the number of Curse stacks on enemies through Despair, Vulnerability, Feeble, etc., maximizing extra Chaos Damage and extra Physical Damage provided by Liminal Coil.

Survival Mechanism: Pacify

Since this build leans towards high damage and low defense, we improve survivability through Pacify. Enemies affected by Curse enter a Pacify state, rendering them unable to deal damage for a short period. Combined with the relatively long duration of Curse, this creates a stable output environment for the character, making it especially suitable for high-density maps.

If you lack currency to further increase the build's potential, you can participate in PoE 1+2 currency giveaway on IGGM Facebook. We will randomly select 3 players from those who like, comment, and share to receive a Mirror of Kalandra – we all know how powerful it is!

Summary and Optimization Directions

The core logic of this Liminal Coil Curse Stacking Infernalist build is extremely novel: using Liminal Coil to directly convert the number of curses into damage multipliers, using Blasphemy and Cast on Critical to automate curse application, and using Infernalist's Archon mechanism and Runic Ward to provide support on both offense and defense.

To further optimize endgame performance, you can replace the boots and gloves with higher energy shields,

replace Toll's Embrace with a cold-elemental support gem, or try replacing some skills with Profane Ritual.

Overall, this build isn't a traditional spellcaster relying solely on stacking gear stats. Instead, it maximizes the benefits of each system through the synergy of multiple mechanisms: Curse, Projectile, Extra Damage, and Archon Buff. While it's relatively expensive to build, once you master the rotation, it delivers a very unique endgame output experience.

Monopoly Go Happy Harvest with Looney Tunes' first Partners event has officially started! This is a highly rewarding event that can either be very easy or extremely challenging depending on your chosen partners.

If you want to claim the dice rewards and tokens from this event, you need to keep an eye on Looney Tunes Partners schedule and the points required to unlock each reward milestone.

Looney Tunes Partners Schedule

Monopoly Go Partners events usually follow a very consistent schedule, with most events lasting five days:

• Start Time: Friday, August 7, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET
• End Time: Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET

Some players prefer to focus on saving resources during the first few days and make their final push on the last day. This is a solid approach, but make sure you do not miss the event deadline.

Looney Tunes Partners Rewards

Looney Tunes Partners Milestone: 

After completing all 4 Builds in Looney Tunes Partners event, you can claim the final grand rewards: 5,000 Dice Rolls, Tweety Bird Board Token, and Five-Star Purple Sticker Pack

If you previously obtained Tweety Bird Dice, you definitely will not want to miss the adorable Tweety Bird Board Token.

Looney Tunes Partners Rules

After Looney Tunes Partners begins, you need to team up with four different players. Each partner has an independent set of Milestones. When you and your partner work together and collect enough points by spinning Partner Wheel, you can unlock each Milestone and receive the corresponding rewards.

Once all Builds and Milestones are completed, you will receive the full grand prize package, including Tweety Bird Board Token, over 5,000 Dice Rolls, and a Five-Star Sticker Pack.

How to Find Partners?

Many players complain that they cannot achieve positive results in Monopoly Go Looney Tunes Partners events. They often run out of all their dice but still fail to complete every Build.

The main reason is usually that one or two players on the team contribute almost nothing. Even one inactive partner can become a burden for everyone else and may cause the entire team to miss the final grand rewards.

You should carefully choose your partners and prioritize players you know, active players, or friends who have proven reliable in previous events. Every partner needs to have both the ability and willingness to contribute their half of the required points.

If you struggle to find enough players, you can buy Monopoly Go Looney Tunes Partners event slot from IGGM to fill the missing position and ensure every player can contribute during the event.

Registered and logged-in users can check in on IGGM to earn points, which can be exchanged for IGGM coupons. You might even have the opportunity to redeem Partners event slots for free using coupons in the future! Each offer has limited availability, so make sure to claim them in time!

Looney Tunes Partners Strategy

How to Collect Tokens?

To unlock all rewards before the event ends, you need around 160,000 tokens in total. To achieve a positive return, the most important thing is knowing when to stop during related events. Chasing high rankings too aggressively often leads to a net loss of dice.

Tournament Goals

For the first four days, reaching Level 17 each day is enough. If your Partner Wheel results are unlucky early on, you can safely push toward Level 20 as a backup target. If your spins go normally, staying at Level 17 on the final day is also completely sufficient.

Reaching the 17th Milestone provides around 700 tokens, which means approximately 3,500 tokens can be earned across 5 days.

Top Banner Event Goals

For the first two Top Banner events, reaching Level 30 is recommended. If luck is on your side, you can try reaching Level 36, but avoid putting too many dice into higher milestones. This approach provides around 3,460 tokens.

Other Sources

These nearly 7,000 tokens are already enough to cover the requirements of almost 2 Builds. The remaining tokens will naturally come from the following daily and random sources:

• Board Pickups
• Tournament Placements
• Tycoon Club Daily Rewards
• 8-Hour Freebies
• Daily Quick Wins

Overall, by following these targets, reaching the total requirement of around 16,000 tokens is not difficult.

Partner Wheel Strategy

When spinning Partner Wheel, it is recommended to consistently use ×1 or ×2 multipliers. With this strategy, completing one partner Build usually requires around 3,500 to 4,000 tokens.

Higher multipliers may look more attractive because of bigger single spins, but they create much higher variance and can waste tokens quickly. Lower multipliers provide more stable point gains and maximize the expected value of every token.

Avoid attempting to complete all four buildings simultaneously, as this is highly inefficient. It's best to complete them one at a time. Each completed building grants you resources like dice and cash, which can help you collect more tokens to complete the next building.

Monopoly Go Looney Tunes Partners can help well-prepared players not only avoid wasting dice but also build up their dice reserves. Make sure to find active partners who are willing to contribute. Even if your early Partner Wheel spins are unlucky, following the right plan will still allow you to successfully claim all rewards.

There are only two weeks left until the launch of WoW TBC Classic Anniversary Phase 3. If you want to jump straight into the new raids on August 27th, rather than consuming extra time completing attunement quests first, you should take action now!

Phase 3 introduces two new raids: Mount Hyjal and Black Temple. Each has its own specific attunement requirements; notably, completing Mount Hyjal attunement is a prerequisite for Black Temple attunement.

Fortunately, Mount Hyjal attunement questline can be fully completed during the current Phase 2! Here is a guide to help you get it done.

What are the requirements for Mount Hyjal attunement?

The attunement process can be broken down into two simple steps: raising your reputation with Keepers of Time (you don't need a very high rank), and then unlocking and completing the quest The Vials of Eternity.

Unlike other attunement quests that require long questlines, The Vials of Eternity simply requires you to defeat the final bosses of the two Phase 2 raids, Lady Vashj and Kael'thas Sunstrider, and loot specific quest items from their corpses.

How to raise Keepers of Time reputation?

There are no unlock requirements for this faction; simply travel to the Caverns of Time in Tanaris to find the relevant NPCs and start earning reputation points.

You can farm reputation for this faction through specific quests and by clearing dungeons. The associated dungeons are Old Hillsbrad Foothills and The Black Morass; reputation points can be earned in both Normal and Heroic modes.

After completing all the quests and dungeon runs mentioned above, you will have earned enough reputation to reach the halfway point toward Honored status. If your goal is solely Mount Hyjal attunement, you can stop here and move on to the next stage of the questline.

However, if you wish to raise your reputation further to unlock access to more items from Quartermaster Alurmi, you can continue farming the dungeons. Running The Black Morass on Normal difficulty is the recommended priority.

How to complete The Vials of Eternity quest?

You can pick up this quest by locating and interacting with NPC Soridormi, found within Caverns of Time, home to Keepers of Time faction.

The quest requires you to defeat Lady Vashj, the final boss of Serpentshrine Cavern raid, and Kael'thas Sunstrider, the final boss of Tempest Keep raid, both introduced in WoW TBC Classic Phase 2.

Afterward, the key quest items, Vashj's Vial Remnant and Kael's Vial Remnant, will appear on the bosses' corpses. Loot them and return to Soridormi to complete The Vials of Eternity quest!

This also marks the completion of Mount Hyjal attunement process. Once Phase 3 goes live, you'll be ready to jump straight into the new raid!

Phase 2 has been live for over three months, so you might have already obtained these items. If not, don't worry, we've got dedicated guides for these boss encounters!

How to defeat Lady Vashj?

The fight consists of three main phases. To handle Static Charge debuff she inflicts in Phase 1 and the waves of adds in Phase 2, your group needs to spread out before the fight begins.

Phase 1 isn't particularly difficult, but it is time-consuming; you and your teammates must ensure your health stays topped up and stock up on plenty of consumables beforehand.

Phase 2 begins when the boss's health drops to 70%. She summons many adds and activates a shield, along with shield generators that keep it powered.

You must prioritize killing Tainted Elemental adds to obtain Tainted Core. These are used to disable the shield generators and drop Lady Vashj's shield, allowing the fight for progress to Phase 3.

During this phase, Toxic Sporebats appear and create poison clouds; players should use all available abilities to focus fire on both the bats and the boss.

How to defeat Kael'thas Sunstrider?

This encounter is more complex; it spans five phases, with mechanics that are intricately linked across them.

In Phase 1, the boss does not appear immediately; instead, he summons his four advisors. After being defeated, these advisors will resurrect in place during Phase 3; therefore, you must kill them in the right locations from the start to avoid unnecessary complications later on.

In Phase 2, Kael'thas summons seven weapons; interestingly, once defeated, you can choose the gear best suited to your needs for the remainder of the fight.

Three minutes after the four advisors resurrect in Phase 3, regardless of whether they have been defeated, Kael'thas himself will appear, ushering in Phase 4.

During Phase 4, in addition to the existing enemies, a phoenix will spawn periodically. You must quickly kill both the phoenix and the egg it leaves behind upon death to prevent multiple phoenixes from being active on the battlefield simultaneously.

In the final phase, the boss unleashes more powerful abilities and repeatedly pulls all players toward him; handle this carefully while focusing your damage output on the target.

Other Mount Hyjal Attunement rewards

In addition to unlocking access to Mount Hyjal raid, completing this attunement allows you to select and complete a specific quest based on your raid role to earn Band of Eternity ring as a reward.

Once TBC Classic Anniversary Phase 3 launches, you can unlock Scale of the Sands faction and continuously upgrade the ring by increasing your reputation with them.

If you haven't completed Mount Hyjal attunement yet, get started right away! Good luck!

If you want to accelerate your Mount Hyjal attunement progress, it's best to buy WoW TBC Classic Anniversary gold on IGGM so you can redeem consumables whenever needed!

As mentioned earlier, completing this attunement quest essentially involves clearing raids or dungeons, so maintaining high health and mana levels with consumables is crucial, especially during boss encounters!
