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 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.

Please note that your check-in time is based on the time zone used when you registered your IGGM account. For example, if you registered your account in PDT (UTC-08:00) time zone, you can only complete the check-in within that time zone on the day in question.

You can view your account registration date on My Profile or Check-in page to ensure you don't miss a check-in!

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.

4. Quickly access the Check-in Center via the My Account → My Orders page.

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.

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. 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.

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!

All discount codes and cash coupons are limited to 30 per week, first come, first served! All redeemable rewards reset every Friday at 4:00 PM (UTC+8)/1:00 AM PDT.

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, all redeemable prize inventory resets every Friday at 4:00 PM (UTC+8). Let's do it earlier next time!

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.

Additionally, please note that all redeemed and used discount codes, cash coupons, and free orders are non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and non-restoreable. Therefore, please carefully check the items you wish to buy before using your coupons to avoid losing them due to subsequent refunds or other changes!

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

Note: You can now quickly access the coupon redemption page not only through REDEEM button in the product page navigation bar, but also through "Coupon Center" at the bottom of 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, cash coupons and special items are subject to 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, exchanged, or restored once claimed or used.
8. Each account is limited to one redemption per special item per day.
9. Points required for special items are subject to change based on market price fluctuations.
10. IGGM.com reserves the right of final interpretation.

Option C: Direct Exchange for In-Game Currency/Items

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

However, please note that each special item is limited to one redemption per account per day. Please choose carefully.

Note: Due to varying demand for special items and market price fluctuations, the number of points required to redeem these items may also change. Please monitor IGGM regularly to take advantage of low-point redemption opportunities.

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!

Q11: Will the points required to redeem specific special items on IGGM change?

A: Yes. Considering that the prices of specific items in the game may fluctuate with game updates and changes in market demand, the points required for redeeming special items offered by IGGM will also be adjusted accordingly. However, rest assured that even with these adjustments, the points cost for redeeming items on IGGM remains far below the market price.

EA FC 27 will arrive in one month, and EA FC 26 has also launched Season 10: Pre-Season, with Pre-Season event serving as a warm-up for the upcoming game.

UT mode store has also introduced Pre-Season Tokens, a new type of token that is separate from Festival of Football Tokens and FUTTIES Tokens. Here is how to obtain Pre-Season Tokens as quickly as possible.

Objectives

The first thing to focus on is Objectives system. Weekly Objectives, Season 10 Double Trouble, and Pre-Season Completionist do not include Pre-Season Tokens, but they do offer Icons, packs, and FC 26 Coins, so they are still worth completing if you have time.

Pre-Season Player Objectives are another important source, with each set rewarding a player and tokens. The players are Callum Wilson, Catarina Macario, Nicolás Otamendi, and Leandro Trossard.

Pre-Season Wilson awards 100 FUTTIES Tokens, while the subsequent player objectives switch to 100 Pre-Season Tokens instead of FUTTIES Tokens.

FUTTIES Token Collector #4 also includes 100 Pre-Season Tokens. These objectives can be completed in any game mode, including Squad Battles on Semi-Pro difficulty or higher, Live Events, Rivals, and Champs, so the best choice depends on personal preference. The tasks themselves are simple enough, making these 100 tokens particularly easy to obtain.

In Live Events Objectives, FUTTIES Daily Knockout Tournament and FUTTIES Daily Knockout Tournament Bonus Completionist both provide Pre-Season Tokens.

The two Objectives provide a combined total of 200 tokens. Both are time-limited, but missing them is not a major issue because the official team is expected to release more similar Live Events later.

Other Objectives currently do not offer tokens, but more Objectives containing Pre-Season Tokens should become available after Friday’s update. Be sure to regularly check all Objectives under Seasonal Campaign and Live Events so that no token opportunities are missed.

Division Rivals

The next source of tokens comes from weekly Division Rivals rewards. This lets you make progress in two areas at once, because completing Objectives in Rivals also contributes toward your weekly rewards.

For example, in Division 3, reaching 24 points grants 500 Pre-Season Tokens along with FC 26 Coins and several packs. Even with 15 points, you can still receive 250 tokens.

The specific rewards are as follows:

• Division 1: 600 tokens
• Division 2: 500 tokens
• Division 3: 500 tokens
• Division 4: 500 tokens
• Division 5: 450 tokens

As you can see, the difference in token rewards between divisions is relatively small, while the competitive intensity can vary considerably. Even Division 5 is only 50 tokens behind the higher divisions. Overall, Division 3 and Division 4 offer a strong balance between the required effort and token rewards.

If you want to improve your Division, besides skill, you also need stronger players. You can buy FC 26 coins at IGGM.com and then build a stronger team.

For registered IGGM users, you can also use the points accumulated through IGGM check-ins to redeem discounts or cash coupons in IGGM Coupons. You can use them in your FC 26 order to get discounts.

Squad Battles

Another gameplay-based way to obtain tokens is through Squad Battles: 

• Rank 1-200: 600 tokens
• Elite 1: 600 tokens
• Elite 2: 600 tokens
• Elite 3: 600 tokens
• Gold 1: 400 tokens
• Gold 2: 300 tokens
• Gold 3: 200 tokens

If you complete all of the matches, you should be able to reach at least Gold 2 or Gold 1, and potentially an Elite rank. This means an additional 400 to 600 tokens each week.

Pre-Season Tokens SBCs

Besides the 2 methods above, there is another way to obtain Pre-Season Tokens. Head to SBCs and find the Swaps tab.

The official team has replaced the rewards in this section from FUTTIES Tokens with Pre-Season Tokens. From 83 OVR Token Swap through 91 OVR Token Swap, you can use your available Fodder to exchange for Pre-Season Tokens.

For example, 91 OVR Token Swap requires five players rated exactly 91 OVR and rewards 75 tokens. It can be refreshed once per week. The other Token Swap requirements work in a similar way, although the number of tokens awarded varies.

90 OVR Token Swap provides 60 tokens, while 89 OVR Token Swap provides 50 tokens. 88 OVR Token Swap provides 40 tokens.

If you complete all of them, you can obtain roughly 200 to 300 tokens per week through Swaps. Thanks to the repeatable 85×10 pack, Fodder is currently almost unlimited, which effectively means another 300 tokens can be obtained each week at no additional cost.

Total Tokens

Through SBC Swaps, you can obtain around 300 tokens per week, while Division Rivals and Squad Battles can provide up to 1,000 tokens per week.

Objectives are a little more complicated, averaging around 500 tokens per week, although more opportunities should be added later. That means you can currently accumulate around 1,800 Pre-Season Tokens per week.

The weekly limit for Pre-Season Tokens has been increased - from 1000 tokens to 3000 tokens. This significantly increases the amount of rewards players can redeem each week.

Since the weekly acquisition limit for Pre-Season Tokens is 3,000, and there is currently no storage limit. The current acquisition amount has not reached the cap yet, so the official team may increase the token rewards from Division Rivals and Squad Battles later. Even if you have not accumulated many tokens yet, there is no need to rush.

As for how to use Pre-Season Tokens, Ferdinand Icon, worth 2000 tokens, offers the best value. Both evolutions only provide 4+ match styles, and currently, players prefer cards with 5+ match styles.

The shop will be updated with more content on Fridays, including additional players and evolutions similar to those added during FUTTIES; you can stay tuned.

Rarity mechanic in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5 has once again become a focal point of discussion in the player community. Some players believe that rarity simply provides an additional reward option, which can be chosen not to use.

However, the issue is not so simple. When rarity can reliably increase loot value, it actually affects farming choices, build design, and even the entire trade league's economic environment.

This guide will analyze how rarity mechanic in Path of Exile 2 actually affects loot value, and how the developers should adjust this issue in Return of the Ancients.

What is Rarity?

Rarity can appear on Waystones, Tablets, and Atlas Passives, as well as on Amulets, Rings, Helmets, and other equipment. It doesn't simply increase the number of POE 2 items you drop; rather, it increases the value of the resulting loot.

For example, if PoE 2 system has already decided to drop a currency, rarity will affect the subsequent outcome, making it easier for that drop to upgrade into a high-value currency.

The same logic applies to equipment. Ordinary equipment might upgrade to Magic, Magic might become Rare, and Rare might even become Unique.

This is the difference between Quantity and Value in Path of Exile 2. The same drop can have completely different economic value because of rarity.

Gear

Rarity itself isn't entirely without value. If rarity appears on Waystones, Tablets, or Atlas Passives, it's actually quite reasonable because these PoE 2 systems are designed to allow players to adjust their farming methods, letting different players change map rewards according to their needs.

What truly dissatisfies many players is that rarity has been placed in Path of Exile 2 gear system. Gear is supposed to serve Characters, Affixes, Modifiers, and Builds. You choose a piece of equipment to gain damage, defense, speed, or other attributes that enhance your build.

But now, if rarity consistently provides additional benefits, you have to consider whether to sacrifice attributes that originally belonged to your build to make room for rarity. This becomes an additional building tax.

The problem with rarity is that it doesn't require you to invest more time to gain benefits, but it provides more value to PoE 2 players who have rarity, given the same farming, the same characters, and the same game content.

Mechanic

Some players believe that if you don't like rarity, you should choose to farm mechanics that don't rely on rarity, such as Ritual or Trial of Chaos.

However, even if the rewards of a particular PoE 2 mechanic aren't directly affected by rarity, you'll still kill other monsters while completing that content, and rarity can still affect the loot from those monsters.

More importantly, if a certain farming method becomes significantly more profitable because of the existence of rarity, players who don't use rarity are effectively forced to reduce their choices.

For example, if you like a particular Mechanic, but the optimal farming method for that Mechanic requires a large amount of rarity, you either need to adjust your build to pursue higher returns or abandon your preferred farming method and choose another playstyle better suited for maximizing profits. This will gradually solidify the originally open PoE 2 farming system.

Besides farming in-game resources, registered IGGM users can also earn rewards through daily check-in. The points earned can be used for cash discounts or redeemed for IGGM Coupons, helping players get currency at a better price.

Build

One player suggested another solution: if you don't want to use rarity, allocate all your gear to Power, compensating for the profit gap with faster Clear Speed ​​and higher Content Difficulty.

This idea itself isn't problematic. If PoE 2 allows for a true trade-off between power and rarity, then choosing between stronger characters and higher Loot Value might actually be a reasonable system.

However, the current problem is that some PoE 2 builds can have both power and rarity simultaneously. This means players don't necessarily need to choose between the two. 

Players who find suitable gear and builds can continue to clear content quickly while enjoying the additional benefits of rarity. This makes the theory of compensating for rarity with a stronger build difficult to truly hold.

And once this disparity in benefits affects build choices, the problem becomes even more complex. If a build can easily incorporate rarity without significantly sacrificing power, then that build has an additional advantage.

Conversely, if another build heavily relies on certain affixes, and incorporating rarity directly leads to a decrease in damage, defense, or other core abilities, then that build becomes more disadvantageous in the current PoE 2 Patch 0.5 environment.

Path of Exile 2 was supposed to allow for diverse builds, but if a particular attribute persists in gear competition, we need to consider whether a build can incorporate rarity without sacrificing too much combat power.

This results in some potentially fun PoE 2 builds being excluded from Return of the Ancients Meta because they can't be properly integrated into rarity, ultimately affecting build variety.

Trade League

As long as you participate in Trade League, rarity issue is difficult to ignore. How much Path of Exile 2 Currency other players acquire affects supply and demand; how quickly they acquire gear and currency also affects the market; and the extra wealth they gain from heavily using rarity also enters the overall economy.

Therefore, you can ignore rarity, but you can't completely prevent it from affecting your game. Every trade and every currency exchange can be influenced by the overall PoE 2 economic environment.

How to adjust?

If Path of Exile 2 developers want players to have different progression options than offense and defense, they should design a new system instead of making rarity a mandatory attribute for all players seeking higher returns.

More importantly, if base drops are inherently inadequate, PoE 2 developers should directly adjust the base drop rate, rather than lowering overall returns and then compensating some players with rarity. Otherwise, rarity will cease to be an optional affix and become a necessity affecting economic efficiency.

The developers have already adjusted currency drops, indicating that base drops can be improved through balancing. As PoE 2 continues to update, loot balance and farming strategies will constantly develop.

If you want to stay up-to-date with the latest PoE 2 update news and build guides, join IGGM PoE 1+2 Facebook Group. We are currently hosting limited-time giveaways where lucky players can win a free Mirror of Kalandra.

In Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5, rarity can hardly continue to be considered a regular optional affix. Its impact extends beyond loot drops; it affects the entire game's freedom of gameplay. In Return of the Ancients, only when rarity returns to its position as an option rather than a necessity can PoE 2 maintain its emphasis on build variety and farming freedom.

From the bright sunshine of Los Santos to the twilight of the Wild West, GTA series has left players with a wealth of memorable scenes through the passage of time. However, when we turn our attention to the neon-lit Vice City, a question naturally arises: how should GTA 6's day-night cycle be structured to match the game's urban atmosphere?

Is the day-night cycle too short?

The day-night cycle in GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 is about 48 minutes long.After playing for a while, players have gradually found this timeframe a bit too rushed.

While driving through the map in the game, the sky has already quietly transitioned from night to day; just stepping into a Nightclub, the dance floor hasn't even warmed up before the morning light appears outside the window.

For a city renowned for its nightlife, a night that lasts too short undoubtedly diminishes the enjoyment of nighttime exploration for players.

Some players cited Red Dead Redemption 2 as an example, saying that the transition between day and night sometimes felt abrupt, like jumping from day to night in an instant, leaving no time to appreciate the changes in light and shadow.

While GTA 5 automatically fast-forwards to the required time period before certain missions to resolve the mismatch between plot and time, players can still be disrupted by the rapid passage of time during free roaming.

What is the ideal day/night cycle?

Regarding the optimal day/night cycle for GTA 6, players have proposed different suggestions.

Some feel that the day length in Cyberpunk 2077 is more suitable for various activities, while others believe that The Witcher 3's extended twilight hours provide a very satisfying visual experience.

To be more precise, a two-hour cycle, with 40 minutes of day and 40 minutes of night, and 20 minutes each of dawn and dusk, would allow players sufficient time to appreciate the changes in light, rather than a rapid transition of a few seconds.

Of course, some players hope that Grand Theft Auto VI's daytime hours will reach 3 hours and nighttime hours 2 hours, or even longer, allowing for a more immersive experience of truly dark environments in the game's swamps or suburbs.

Other players are also hoping for realistic rush hour traffic, creating chaos with a few minutes of high-density traffic, which would naturally extend the daytime hours.

How to balance missions and roaming?

It's important to know that mission design in GTA 6 is closely related to the day-night cycle, while GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 use a relatively short day-night cycle partly to ensure that the lighting at the beginning and end of missions matches the rhythm of the story.

If the day-night cycle is significantly lengthened, missions scheduled for specific time periods might result in awkward situations where the mission requires midnight, but the game is still in daytime.

However, we can find a solution to this problem using existing game mechanics, as the game has an automatic time jump mechanism before missions, indicating that it's not technically difficult to implement.

A more acceptable approach would be to provide players with an active wait function, similar to The Elder Scrolls series or Cyberpunk 2077.

Players could allow protagonists Jason and Lucia to progress time naturally through rest and leisurely strolls, rather than simply pressing a skip button in the menu. This would retain the immersion of GTA 6 while flexibly adjusting to the necessary timeframes for missions.

How to handle the transition between day and night?

A significant number of players aren't concerned about the total playtime, but whether the sunrise and sunset transitions in GTA 6 feel too abrupt.

Even maintaining the original 48-minute day-night cycle, extending the transition from dawn to dusk to 10-15 minutes, allowing the light in the sky and on the ground to change slowly, would significantly alleviate players' anxiety caused by the rapid passage of time.

Furthermore, Florida's weather is highly variable, with both thunderstorms and spectacular sunsets offering unique experiences.

If Grand Theft Auto VI could work on the city's weather - for example, making a downpour last fifteen minutes or longer - it would create a much more atmospheric experience and become a memorable highlight for players than weather events that only last a few seconds.

Other Suggestions

From a large amount of player feedback, it seems that the optimal day-night cycle might not be a fixed number, but a system where players can determine its length.

For example, adding a day-night speed option to GTA 6's settings would allow players to customize the day-night duration in Freedom Mode, while retaining the mandatory time lock feature in Missions. This would satisfy players who prefer fast-paced gameplay as well as those who want to slow down and experience the environment.

Because many players derive enjoyment from Vice City not only from crime and high-speed chases, but also from the everyday moments spent whiling away the time.

Take time to experience a spectacular sunset, or dance the night away in a nightclub - if GTA 6's time system is flexible enough, players will have access to a wider variety of gameplay options.

Until the full day-night cycle mechanism is announced, all we can do now is wait for official confirmation and see if any adjustments will be made to the game.

However, for players eager to step into Vice City, some preparation is essential. If you plan to unlock your favorite vehicles early in the game, you can pre-order GTA 6 money from IGGM.com - imagine your favorite vehicle under a beautiful sunset; it's sure to become a cherished memory.

Furthermore, as a registered user, you can earn points through IGGM Check in - these points are useful and can be redeemed for coupons or used to offset cash on orders, making your money orders more cost-effective!

Whether the final day-night cycle in GTA 6 changes, you'll be looking forward to it, right?

With the official launch of WoW Midnight Season 2, most difficulty levels for Venomous Abyss raid, the core content of Patch 12.1, are now available. It's time to dive in and unlock exclusive loot!

We've put together a comprehensive guide to Venomous Abyss covering boss order, combat mechanics, and loot drops, ensuring you have a great experience right from the start.

Raid basic info & timeline

Venomous Abyss features five difficulty levels: Story, Raid Finder (LFR), Normal, Heroic, and Mythic. Following Season 2 launch on August 18, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic difficulties, along with LFR Wing 1, are available immediately.

The timeline for the remaining difficulties is as follows:

• August 25: Story Mode; LFR Wing 2
• September 1: LFR Wing 3
• September 8: LFR Wing 4

To enter Venomous Abyss, travel to the new zone, Coiled Isle. Locate one of the three entrances to Vaults of Atal'Utek; the raid entrance itself is found on the north side within the vault.

What is the boss order?

Once your team members have reached level 90 and an item level of at least 273, you can group up and take on Venomous Abyss raid.

Your ultimate goal is to defeat the final boss, Ula'tek. Before reaching that point, however, you must defeat seven preceding bosses in a specific order:

1. Defeat the initial boss, Nek'zali the Soulcoiler.
2. Tackle the bosses on the two flanks: Bosses 2 & 3 Entombed Sentinels & Vashnik the Malignant, and Bosses 4 & 5 The Lost Explorers & Sszorak. Don't forget to clear out the trash mobs along the way.
3. Return to the central pit to challenge Boss 6, The Twin Fangs, which unlocks the final encounters: Bosses 7 & 8 The Coiled Altar & Ula'tek.

In short, you cannot skip or bypass bosses you find difficult; you must follow the prescribed progression to complete the raid. So, if you run into difficulties along the way, it is best to buy WoW Midnight gold on IGGM.com immediately.

With a plentiful supply of gold, you can unlock consumables for replenishment or items to upgrade your gear at any time. Even if you don't need them yourself, they make great gifts for teammates during emergencies.

Plus, if you place an order on IGGM after registering and logging in, you can earn points by IGGM check in. These points can be used to offset order costs or be redeemed for discount codes and cash coupons, allowing you to buy more gold for less money!

The first 7 boss fight mechanics

As the first boss you will encounter in WoW Midnight Season 2 Venomous Abyss raid, Nek'zali the Soulcoiler presents a challenge centered around Soulcoil Well located in the middle of the arena.

If a player in your group dies inside Soulcoil Well, or if a Restless Amani gets too close to it, Nek'zali receives a buff that significantly increases the difficulty of the fight.

The second encounter, Entombed Sentinels, actually comprises two simultaneous boss fights that split your group into two teams; you must adapt your combat strategy based on the specific sentinel you are facing.

The fight against Vashnik the Malignant is relatively straightforward, consisting of a single phase with repeating mechanics. You need to watch out for the boss gaining various buffs and abilities from three fountains located around the arena.

The Lost Explorers encounter plays more like a combat-focused mini-quest; you must face three specific mini-bosses, utilizing unique mechanics to defeat them and complete the required objectives.

The mechanics for Sszorak & The Twin Fangs are generally similar to those of Vashnik the Malignant. Success against the former relies on boosting your movement speed beforehand, while the latter requires you to avoid the boss's stacking Eternal Venom debuff.

The seventh encounter, The Coiled Altar, consists of three phases. Zul'jan and Hex Lord Malacrass appear sequentially in the first two phases, while the third phase sees them merge to launch a combined attack.

Overview of the final boss Ula'tek mechanics

Almost all boss encounters in Venomous Abyss raid are divided into multiple phases and feature specific mechanics. However, Ula'tek is undoubtedly the most challenging of them all.

During the boss fight, Ula'tek continuously generates pools of venom via Caustic Waves and spawns Blightscale Spawn; upon contact with the venom, these spawn hatch into Putrid Membrane, dealing damage to you.

Throughout the encounter, the boss casts Spectral Coils to trigger spatial tremors and subsequently summons additional types of special minions.

After the minions are defeated, Ula'tek shatters the arena, rallies forces using Call of the Serpent, and further devastates the battlefield with Circling Prey.

If the boss fight described above has got your adrenaline pumping and you're eager to jump into the game and experience it firsthand, why not join IGGM Facebook Group first? If you're lucky enough to win one of WoW Game Time 60 Days giveaways, you can experience it for free!

Venomous Abyss raid reward system

All bosses inWoW Midnight Venomous Abyss raid drop Mistcrests, with quality determined by the chosen raid difficulty. These items are used to upgrade gear obtained from clearing this raid or other Season 2 content.

Each Venomous Abyss boss drops specific gear, with bosses encountered later in the raid dropping more powerful items. On Mythic difficulty, gear dropped by The Coiled Altar and Ula'tek reaches item level 344.

In addition to specific gear, bosses 2 through 6 drop tokens that can be exchanged for the new Season 2 Tier Set armor. The final boss, Ula'tek, drops Slumbering Coil Curio, an item usable by all classes, which can be exchanged for a specific armor piece at Kirana.

Beyond gear and gear-related tokens, completing Venomous Abyss offers a chance to obtain new WoW Midnight transmogs, Primeval Skyfriend mount, and housing decorations.

Connection to Great Vault

Defeating 2, 4, or 6 bosses in Venomous Abyss raid (on difficulties other than Story Mode) adds corresponding loot options to Great Vault.

Great Vault is a special weekly reward system offering up to nine gear choices; you can select one item after completing the required objectives. Defeating Venomous Abyss bosses now contributes to your Great Vault progress.

Despite the wealth of new content in WoW Midnight Season 2, we recommend prioritizing Venomous Abyss raid. The rewards it offers will help you rapidly progress through other new challenges!

In Path of Exile, Chromatic Orb is one of the most frequently used basic currencies. Its purpose is very clear: to reset the socket colors on equipment. It is essential for adjusting skill gem combinations, therefore Chromatic Orb is needed almost throughout the entire game, from campaigns to endgame.

Basic Mechanics of Chromatic Orb

After using a Chromatic Orb on equipment, the socket colors of the equipment will be randomly reset, but the number of sockets and the connection status of the sockets will not change. However, the socket colors are not completely evenly randomized. The inherent attributes of the gear affect color weights:

• Higher strength increases the likelihood of red sockets.
• Higher dexterity increases the likelihood of green sockets.
• Higher intelligence increases the likelihood of blue sockets.

Therefore, it's relatively easy to roll a large number of red sockets on a pure strength base gear, while pursuing multiple blue sockets on high strength gear requires consuming more Chromatic Orbs.

This is the fundamental logic of socket crafting in PoE: the gear's base attributes determine color weights, and players then use currency to modify the random results.

Chromatic Orb Mechanism Changes in 3.29

PoE 3.29 Chromatic Orbs have a new key rule: Now, when using a Chromatic Orb or Tainted Chromatic Orb, one socket on the gear will be forcibly turned non-white, while the remaining sockets will undergo normal color randomization. Furthermore, the higher the gear's quality, the higher the probability of non-white sockets appearing.

This change alters the coloring logic in patch 3.29: the basic value of white sockets is increased, while Chromatic Orbs become a crucial tool for actively adding and adjusting non-white sockets. For practical crafting, gear quality also becomes more important.

Why is coloring still necessary after 3.29?

Besides changing Chromatic Orb mechanism, patch 3.29 also updated the entire socket system. Under the new system, gems can be inserted into sockets of different colors, so we don't necessarily need to color every socket exactly to the gem. This reduces players' reliance on traditional color restrictions, but it doesn't mean socket colors are meaningless.

Because matching gem and socket colors can provide additional benefits, specific color combinations remain valuable for players pursuing ultimate gear performance.

Therefore, the coloring strategy after 3.29 can be understood as: white sockets are the basic choice, while non-white sockets are essential for further gear optimization. This also explains why the need for Chromatic Orbs hasn't disappeared due to the change in white sockets.

How to Obtain Chromatic Orb?

First and foremost, we're currently hosting a PoE 1+2 free currency giveaway on IGGM Facebook. Participating gives you a chance to directly obtain Chromatic Orb!

Random Drops

The most direct source of Chromatic Orb is drops from normal game content. Monsters, chests, and various map content all have a chance to generate currency. For most players, regular campaign play and map runs will accumulate a certain amount.

Selling RGB Linked Items

If an item has Red + Green + Blue sockets linked together, selling it to a Vendor will grant you one Chromatic Orb.

Therefore, when you see RGB Linked items in loot, even if they have no intrinsic value to you, it's worth picking them up. This is a way to consistently obtain Chromatic Orb at a very low practical cost.

For players who need to perform a lot of socket crafting, the consumption of Chromatic Orb can be considerable. If you don't want to spend a lot of time accumulating through daily map runs, you can also buy PoE currency at IGGM.com.

Also, don't forget to register and log in to your IGGM account to participate in daily check-ins and earn points. These points can be redeemed for IGGM Coupon, allowing you to acquire PoE resources at a lower price.

Two Methods for Using Chromatic Orbs

Direct Use

When to use Chromatic Orbs directly? The simplest way to determine this is to see if your target color matches the attribute bias of the equipment's base.

For example, for a high-strength armor, you would need:

R-R-R-G-G-B

Red sockets are easy to obtain, so using Chromatic Orbs directly is usually reasonable. However, for the same high-strength armor, you would need:

B-B-B-G-G-R

A large number of blue sockets is a clear off-color. In this case, even continuously consuming Chromatic Orbs will make it difficult to obtain the desired color, especially with the significantly increased probability of white sockets in patch 3.29. In this situation, you should consider the more stable crafting method of Crafting Bench.

Crafting Bench

If the target color is difficult to obtain randomly, Crafting Bench is a crucial alternative. It consumes Chromatic Orbs to directly require equipment to have at least a certain number of non-white sockets:

• At least two non-white sockets - Chromatic Orb x5
• At least three non-white sockets - Chromatic Orb x20
• At least four non-white sockets - Chromatic Orb x75

Overall, while Chromatic Orbs are a basic currency, they still play a vital role in equipment crafting. The changes in Path of Exile 3.29 made white sockets more flexible, but also made non-white sockets an important target for further equipment optimization. Whether for daily build adjustments or endgame crafting, mastering the coloring mechanic will make your equipment crafting more efficient.

While the official release of CoD Modern Warfare 4 on October 23rd is still some time away, we already know that DMZ mode will be included. As a gameplay mode that sparked much discussion during the MW2 era, DMZ is not only making a comeback, but will also redefine its position within the CoD series in a completely new form.

From Beta to Core Game Mode

If you've played CoD MW2, you might remember DMZ mode. It was released as a beta with Warzone 2.0 for free, a PvPvE extraction shooter where players had to infiltrate enemy territory, scavenge for supplies, complete missions, and extract alive. However, that version received mixed reviews.

Four years later, however, things are completely different. In CoD MW4, DMZ is no longer an appendage to Warzone, but a completely restructured, independent core game mode. The game director even described it as essentially a standalone game.

Story Background

The background of DMZ is closely intertwined with the single-player campaign of CoD MW4. After the campaign, Korean demilitarized zone (DMZ) suffered severe radiation contamination due to a nuclear reactor meltdown, creating a massive containment zone called Hajin. This zone is littered with abandoned military technology, weapons depots, and various destabilizing threats.

Players take on the role of a CIA-hired undercover agent, infiltrating enemy territory to carry out recovery missions. Hajin is not just a map, but a continuously evolving open-world sandbox - initially comprising nine main areas, including urban areas, casinos, radiation zones, hospitals, military bases, farmland, prisons, radio stations, and towns, with some areas extending to North Korean and Russian borders.

Notably, DMZ's storyline was written by the same team behind the single-player campaign, directly following the campaign's ending. This means that entering DMZ before completing the campaign could result in spoilers - a key reason why the official beta version of DMZ was not available.

Three Playstyles

Upon entering DMZ, three different playstyles are available:

Story Missions

These are narrative-driven missions that continue the campaign's storyline. Your objective is to recover advanced military technology, rescue key figures, or complete other multi-stage objectives. When selecting this mode, the system will prioritize matching players also on story missions to ensure aligned team goals.

Dynamic Operations

These missions share similar end-game objectives with story missions (such as destroying missiles or downloading intelligence), but the methods and steps to achieve them are randomly generated. This means that each time you perform the same mission, the challenges and paths you face may be completely different, significantly increasing replayability.

Free Roam

Suitable for players familiar with the mechanics - there is no system guidance; you can move freely on the map. Eliminating enemy officers, disrupting other teams on missions, or simply exploring hidden areas deep within the map is entirely up to you.

All three modes share the same map and world. You may encounter other teams on story missions while roaming freely; conversely, you may not. This design makes each deployment unpredictable.

For players new to DMZ, familiarizing themselves with the weapons, shooting mechanics, and combat rhythm before engaging in actual combat is equally important. You can buy CoD Modern Warfare 4 Bot Lobbies at IGGM.com to efficiently practice your weapons and familiarize yourself with combat mechanics in lower-pressure multiplayer matches.

Also, remember to use our IGGM Points System - simply register and log in to your account to earn points through daily check-ins. These points can be redeemed for coupons, allowing you to acquire various game resources at lower prices.

DMZ Core Systems and Gameplay Mechanics

DMZ is a game mode centered around a high-risk, high-reward extraction gameplay. Players must complete missions, gather resources, outmaneuver AI and other players after entering the demilitarized zone, and ultimately successfully extract. Around this core loop, the game features systems such as base management, agent status, bounty tracking, and stealth, ensuring that every action requires choices between reward, risk, and survival.

Forward Operating Base (FOB)

Before entering the demilitarized zone, players first arrive at the FOB - a personal hub for managing equipment, forming teams, and preparing for battle. Here you can upgrade various facilities, including:

• 3D Printer: Craft your own equipment
• Stash: Save your inventory across matches
• Firing Range: Test weapon configurations
• Bounty Board: Monitor the most dangerous competitors currently active in the restricted area

FOB will upgrade as you progress, providing more services and features.

MIA Rescue Mechanism

In DMZ, agent death is semi-permanent. If your agent is killed in action, the character enters an MIA state. You can pay in-game currency to revive them and continue the game; the amount depends on the agent's progress and equipment value. The developers claim this is to maintain the tension and high risk of extraction shooters while being more forgiving than traditional extraction experiences.

Bounty System

In Hajin, besides AI enemies, there are other real players, so every encounter may involve either fighting or avoiding. Killing other operators increases your notoriety and puts you on a bounty, making you easier for other players to track and hunt.

However, killing enemies, collecting their dog tags, and successfully extracting yields substantial rewards. Players can also actively hunt other bounty targets for higher rewards and to reduce their own bounty level. Simply put, the more kills you get, the higher the rewards and risks; you could become the hunter or the hunted.

Stealth Meter

Stealth Meter is particularly helpful for solo players. It alerts you when you're about to be spotted by AI enemies: when an enemy starts noticing you, an audio cue appears, and the HUD indicator changes from white to yellow, then to orange. You can immediately go prone or retreat to cover to avoid being completely discovered and triggering a fight. This allows players to choose between direct confrontation or assassination based on their own pace.

Future Outlook

Based on currently released information, the developers clearly see DMZ as a crucial cornerstone for the future of the CoD series' extraction shooter genre. It features an independent progression system, a dedicated character development path, and a dynamically evolving world.

Reportedly, the team has been researching various extraction shooter games on the market, drawing inspiration from them. Their goal is to make DMZ both beginner-friendly and offer sufficient depth for hardcore players.

September will be a month of intensive information releases for DMZ - the official announcement confirms a full DMZ reveal after the beta ends. Whether it's a large-scale, one-off release or a gradual unveiling of details over several days, we'll gain a more comprehensive understanding of this highly anticipated mode.

Overall, MW4's DMZ has truly evolved from a beta experiment into a core mode with an independent system and long-term operational potential. From story, missions, PvPvE, to character progression and a dynamic world, DMZ is clearly more than just a simple return. Whether it can truly become a new benchmark for Call of Duty extraction shooter gameplay remains to be seen, pending further official announcements in September and its official launch on October 23rd.

Tycoons, great news! Your time on Monopoly Go Happy Harvest with Looney Tunes Album these past two days will be incredibly fulfilling! The latest Golden Blitz voting has just concluded successfully, and the new Tycoon Racers event: Beep Beep Racers is about to launch in the game.

Those duplicate gold stickers that have been accumulating in your album finally have a chance to be exchanged for that crucial piece of the puzzle you're missing! And with Beep Beep Racers, tokens and dice on the race track will directly determine the size of your rewards.

Do you have enough dice and stickers to handle both of these popular events? Don't worry, we'll clarify the priorities so you don't lose out in trading or waste your time on the race track.

Golden Blitz

Voting Results

A total of five stickers participated in this Golden Blitz vote, all from different sets:

• Set 13: Honey, I'm Home
• Set 14: Rudy Root
• Set 15: Too Helpful
• Set 16: Artful Apples
• Set 17: Henhouse

Interestingly, perhaps because this album is relatively new and everyone wants to collect the sets gradually, the voting rate decreased from Set 13 to Set 17. The final winners were Monopoly Go Honey, I'm Home (Set 13) and Rudy Root (Set 14).

Both of these stickers are four-star gold stickers. If you're currently stuck on Sets 13 and 14, this Golden Blitz vote presents an excellent opportunity to accelerate your album collection!

How to Trade?

Based on past experience, Golden Blitz should launch on Monopoly Go approximately two to three days after today's voting ends, most likely this Saturday or Sunday.

Once the event starts, players will only have 24 hours to trade Honey, I'm Home, and Rudy Root stickers with friends, so it's crucial to plan ahead for efficient trading.

Of course, other regular stickers can also be traded on Golden Blitz during this time; the trading portal won't be closed. You can use this time to exchange your duplicate stickers and add new pieces to your album.

You only have five opportunities to trade gold stickers, and you can only trade if you have more than one. Therefore, advance planning is even more important. It's best to contact your friends on Monopoly Go now to discuss whether to use this opportunity to trade Honey, I'm Home, or Rudy Root.

To ensure you don't waste time, you can also post for help in Monopoly Go community and pay attention to other players' posts. This will maximize your chances of collaborating with other players during Golden Blitz. Since most players haven't even reached the halfway point of their album collection yet, it's best to focus on exchanging stickers of the same star rating this time, rather than exchanging higher-star stickers for lower-star ones too early.

Additionally, if Golden Blitz isn't enough to meet your collection progress requirements, and you're a registered user, IGGM Coupon now offers a chance to redeem one gold sticker for 200 points. There are two gold stickers available, for a total of only 400 points.

These two gold stickers are quite valuable, and the offer is limited-time and limited-quantity, so act fast!

Beep Beep Racers

Before Golden Blitz officially begins, Monopoly Go will feature the latest Tycoon Racers event: Beep Beep Racers- August 19th 1 PM to August 23rd 4 PM (Eastern Time). During this time, you can team up and enjoy racing with your friends!

How to Team Up?

First, if you choose team play, you must join a team within 24 hours to form a full four-person team, or you can go solo, but this will affect your final reward composition.

Similar to Golden Blitz mentioned above, you can team up with your Monopoly Go friends or find teammates from the in-game recommended list, but in any case, you must ensure your teammates are united and reliable.

If you're unsure whether your in-game friends are trustworthy, you can buy Monopoly Go Beep Beep Racers Rank 1 Full Carry service from IGGM.com to quickly assemble a reliable team and get closer to the grand prize!

How Beep Beep Racers Works?

Once your team is formed, you can start Beep Beep Racers and participate in races.

Whether you're playing solo or in a team, the rules are the same: complete three races, rank your teams based on the number of laps, and award different numbers of medals. Ultimately, the competition is based on the total number of medals each team earns from Beep Beep Racers.

During this process, you need to continuously consume tokens to roll the dice before you can move forward on the track based on the dice roll. Therefore, your team also needs to ensure that they have accumulated a certain number of tokens to support the three Beep Beep Racers races.

Rewards

While the full rewards for Beep Beep Racers haven't been confirmed, we can make reasonable predictions based on past patterns in Monopoly Go. Team rewards might include:

• First place: Purple sticker pack, Board token, Swap Pack
• Second place: Blue and Pink sticker pack
• Third place: Pink and Yellow sticker pack
• Fourth place: Yellow and Green sticker pack

It's certain that solo rewards for Beep Beep Racers will be less than team rewards, and are expected to include:

• First place: Pink and Blue sticker pack, Board token
• Second place: Yellow and Pink sticker pack
• Third place: Pink sticker pack
• Fourth place: Yellow sticker pack

Therefore, whether you're aiming for the ultimate premium sticker pack or simply want to share the pressure and make the race easier, teaming up is the better option.

Plan your Monopoly Go playtime wisely to maximize your gains from Golden Blitz and Beep Beep Racers!

Madden NFL 27 officially announced an emergency update on August 18. Several issues are currently affecting the game, making its two most popular modes almost impossible to play normally. In Ultimate Team, a serious malfunction was triggered by the newly introduced EVO Cards.

At the same time, the online league management mode, Franchise Mode, is also experiencing crash issues. This has forced the official team to arrange an emergency update. The update is scheduled for 6:00 a.m. ET on August 19. Let's take a look at the chaotic situation currently affecting Madden 27.

Official Tweets

Throughout August 18, the official team published several tweets. Starting with EVO Update, they stated that new EVO Cards would be released every week during Season 1 and would remain available in Evolutions Hub for one week after release.

They also mentioned that they were tracking an issue where Evolutions Hub was failing to display the correct remaining availability time for each EVO Card. This was the first major bug they discovered.

About an hour after that tweet was published, the official team posted again, stating that they had discovered another major issue that was preventing some players from entering Ultimate Team. They were working quickly to investigate the problem.

Ultimate Team

After several hours of attempted fixes, a server maintenance announcement was eventually released, stating that maintenance would take place at 6:00 a.m. on August 19. During that period, all online modes would temporarily go offline.

Although the wording of the announcement looked like the standard template used for routine updates, this situation was different. It was an emergency update, because the sheer number of players currently unable to play normally was significant.

Many players reported that they had been unable to log in since 11 a.m on August 18. and had remained locked out for five, six, or even seven hours. As a result, many missed out on the promotion currently underway.

When Ultimate Team, one of the game's biggest revenue drivers, breaks down right after a new event goes live, the speed of the official response is certainly impressive.

However, there have also been cases where the official team verbally promised a fix, but the patch or update that was actually released failed to resolve the problem.

Therefore, August 19 server maintenance may not completely fix the issue, and a large number of players could still find themselves locked out of Ultimate Team.

Regardless, the official team will undoubtedly do everything possible because Ultimate Team is extremely important to them. After all, Madden 27 relies heavily on players continuing to use Madden NFL 27 coins, so they will certainly put significant effort into this update.

EVO System

EVO System itself is also experiencing a display issue. The official team confirmed that the countdown timer in Evolutions Hub is incorrect, making it impossible for players to accurately determine how much time remains to obtain each EVO Card.

Although the official team announced that last week's EVO Cards would remain available until August 25 as compensation, this move has not calmed player frustration. After all, a large number of players cannot even access Ultimate Team, let alone experience EVO Card content.

Franchise Mode Bugs

Save Corruption

Meanwhile, on August 14, EA also released a notice stating that they were investigating crash reports affecting a "very small number" of Madden 27 players on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

This is actually a Franchise Mode save corruption issue. When players simulate to Week 2 of the first season, their entire league save can disappear, forcing them to start over and create a new league.

In reality, many Xbox and PS5 users have reported experiencing this problem. It is currently unclear whether the issue can be resolved in the next emergency update.

Temporary Solution

It is still unclear whether this problem can be resolved in time. It may be fixed in the emergency update, or the official team may push what could be considered a less critical issue to a later update.

If you are experiencing the same problem, there is a temporary workaround. Go to Options, then enter League Settings;

Under Team tab, change Max Cloud Replay Downloads for Halftime and Weekly from the default value of 5 to 0.

It is especially important to note that if you are the commissioner, you must tell every league member to change this setting individually in their own settings rather than having the commissioner change it for everyone.

This setting is user-specific, so it cannot be applied globally. The official team also confirmed the same workaround through direct messages.

The official team is clearly aware of this issue, so there is a strong possibility that it will be fixed across the board in August 19 update.

College Coach Exclusive Unlock Bug

The issues mentioned above are not the only bugs affecting Franchise Mode in Madden NFL 27.

In Madden NFL 27, College Coach explicitly requires save data from College Football 27 to unlock the exclusive coaching skills.

Some Madden 27 players still cannot unlock or access them after selecting College Type Head Coach and completing NCAA 27 Dynasty cross-game requirement. This remains the case even when other College Coach-exclusive abilities have already been unlocked.

Many players reported College Coach Exclusive Unlock bug as early as two weeks ago, but the official team has yet to make any official statement regarding the issue.

Madden NFL 27 currently has numerous serious bugs, and hopefully the official team will actively address problems affecting other modes in addition to Ultimate Team issues.

The countdown to the launch of Black Ops 7 Season 5 Reloaded is on. Have you finished the first half of Season 5 and fully prepared for the new gameplay?

Although it is a mid-season update, the scope of S05 Reloaded is impressive. With a variety of modes, including endgame content, Zombies, and Multiplayer, it is difficult to make progress in all areas simultaneously.

In this article, we focus on Multiplayer updates for BO7 Season 5 Reloaded. While the update may not introduce the highest number of new features, the variety is substantial and includes the return of a classic mode:

• Turbo Tilt Map
• Freerun: Descent Course
• Cranked Moshpit Mode

All-new small-scale map: Turbo Tilt

Inspired by Nuketown Turbo Era Rampage, a giant themed pinball machine hosted by Archie Atom, this map transforms the combat environment into the interior of a pinball machine, moving away from the traditional outdoor settings you are used to.

Specifically, the map is designed from a miniaturized perspective; you and your teammates or opponents are deployed into battle in shrunken form. Here, the mechanical components inside the pinball machine serve as the primary cover elements for firefights and chases.

Beyond its pinball theme, CoD BO7 Turbo Tilt pays homage to classic Nuketown elements, integrating the series' most famous cul-de-sac area and the iconic mushroom cloud imagery into the pinball machine's interior.

As for combat, Turbo Tilt supports both standard 6v6 matches and fast-paced 2v2 skirmishes. Leveraging the unique environment, you can hit interactive targets scattered throughout the map to trigger bumpers and ramps, allowing for rapid movement to launch surprise attacks or make a quick escape.

Additionally, you will encounter giant pinballs moving at high speeds along fixed tracks. Beware of this formidable environmental hazard; if you accidentally wander onto a track, you will be instantly knocked down by the impact.

Given Turbo Tilt's extremely compact layout and its complex mix of vertical spaces and ramps, the key to racking up high scores in Multiplayer is to utilize elevation changes and launch mechanics to execute surprise attacks.

Given the unique nature of this map, we advise you not to rush straight into playing it with friends immediately after Black Ops 7 Season 5 Reloaded update goes live. It's best to buy Black Ops 7 bot lobbies on IGGM.com to practice in a stable environment against AI opponents and fully familiarize yourself with the layout.

New Freerun Course: Descent

Freerun is an arcade-style movement mode in CoD: Black Ops 7 multiplayer that pits you against other players in a race across a course featuring mechanics like wall-running, sliding, and shooting.

While the game previously introduced the first Freerun course, Ascent, during Season 3 Reloaded, Season 5 Reloaded brings us a new one: Descent.

In this new course, you must complete a high-speed descent by navigating through seven zones, each containing multiple checkpoints, within a set time limit. Each challenge round involves ten players, with unique obstacles and challenges presented in every zone.

To successfully complete the race, you need to master advanced techniques such as wall-jumping, sliding, and shooting. You must also keep an eye out for special items like speed pads and portals to boost your velocity, maintain the lead, and earn greater rewards.

However, be careful not to focus too heavily on speed at the cost of falling off the track; every fall counts as a mistake, forcing you to respawn at the last checkpoint and setting back your progress.

To enrich your Freerun: Descent experience and expand your potential rewards, CoD BO7 includes several additional objectives that unlock specific items upon completion:

• Complete Freerun: Descent course three times: Eyes on Screen Emblem and 1,000 XP.
• Collect all Ciphers on the course: Catch Air Weapon Charm and 2,500 XP.
• Complete Freerun: Descent course in under 12 minutes with fewer than 10 faults: Gridlock Universal Weapon Camo and 5,000 XP.

In addition, standard rewards earned by completing the course include:

• Bullseye Weapon Camo
• Magnesis Weapon Camo
• Free Run For All Calling Card
• Take Ten Calling Card
• No Tripping Loading Screen
• Count to Five Animated Calling Card
• Sprint for the Finish Animated Calling Card
• Obelisk Weapon Charm
• Vibrant Aurora Peacekeeper MK1 Assault Rifle Blueprint

Limited-time mode Cranked Moshpit returns

BO7 Season 5 Reloaded brings Cranked Moshpit back to the game. In this high-intensity, limited-time mode, eliminating enemies does more than just score points, it extends the duration of the match.

Upon securing your first kill in Cranked Moshpit, Cranked state activates immediately, and a countdown timer begins.

You must continuously eliminate enemies to extend the timer and prevent a fatal explosion. Completing mode objectives also helps extend the duration.

Achieving killstreaks (up to a maximum of 5) during a Cranked Moshpit match unlocks additional buffs:

• 1 Killstreak: Increases movement speed and reduces Black Ops 7 Field Upgrade recharge time.
• 2 Killstreaks: Improves hip-fire accuracy and reduces sprint-to-fire time.
• 3 Killstreaks: Increases ADS (Aim Down Sights) speed and weapon swap speed.
• 4 Killstreaks: Increases reload speed and grants ammo refills on kills.
• 5 Killstreaks: Grants double score and increases headshot damage.

Beyond standard combat, Multiplayer Cranked Moshpit will also incorporate other classic competitive mission variants, such as Cranked Team Deathmatch or Cranked Kill Confirmed. Some of these test your direct combat prowess, while others place a higher premium on mobility.

Summary

Although the content volume is modest, CoD: Black Ops 6 Season 5 Reloaded multiplayer update strikes a balance between fun and accessibility. With a moderate amount of content, it serves as an ideal entry point for Reloaded update.

Furthermore, completing associated missions allows you to unlock additional gear and boosts, assets that will aid your progress in the more challenging Zombies mode or Warzone experiences.

Finally, while the launch of S05 Reloaded doesn't render existing content obsolete, we recommend clearing out earlier missions first so you can fully focus on Reloaded content moving forward!
