Blade & Soul NEO Classic New Features: Why Recommend You Play This Game?

Two weeks after Dune Awakening went live, the game has received its first major patch, which has made timely changes to many player feedback issues and greatly optimized the current end-game experience.

This change mainly involves Deep Desert, turning almost half of the area into a PVE area. Are players satisfied with this change? Let’s have a look below.

Deep Desert

The biggest change is the change to the PVP area, which is Deep Desert. Before the update, the best equipment that players could get in the PVE area was only around T5, and Dune Awakening items required to make T5 equipment also needed to be got from Deep Desert area.

In Patch 1.1.0.17, the PVP area in Deep Desert was reduced by about half, and now the PvE area has been adjusted to the entire southern half of Deep Desert map, from area E2 to area A will now become a PVE area. You can now explore or build bases in these areas without worrying about being besieged by other players.

Control Points and Shipwrecks in PVE areas will still be a small PVP area, so if you encounter other players here, you must be vigilant.

PVE players can now come here almost safely to collect level 6 materials, and the richest areas are still in PVP areas. You can find spice fields and Control Points in PVP areas.

Here are the changes to resource points in Deep Desert:

• The number of medium spice fields has been reduced from 8 to 5.
• The number of small spice fields has been increased from 20 to 22.
• The number of resource nodes in Deep Desert PvE section has been reduced.
• The respawn time of Titanium and Stravidium has been increased to 45 minutes.

Although the resources in Deep Desert that have become PVE areas are less than before, it is still much better than blocking PVE players from Deep Desert area.

Is This A Pleasant Change?

PVE Players

First of all, this is definitely a good thing for PVE players. PVE players are basically single players. There are only two reasons which they don’t join in PVP: they don’t like PVP content, and they are worried that their weapons and equipment are too backward to beat PVP players.

The number of PVE enthusiasts in Dune Awakening is significantly higher than that of PVP. According to the published data, global players have consumed over than 120 million building parts, manufactured 517,000 ornithopters, and collected 6.11 billion grams of spices. The total area surveyed by players reached 25,529,505 square kilometers, 56,253 milliliters of blood were extracted from enemies, 66,000 players died in sandstorms, 816,000 died in sandworm attacks, and 628,000 died in Deep Desert.

This update allows most PVE players to get better materials, equipment and unique item schematics. They only need to take a little more time than PVP players to get top-level Dune Awakening items.

PvE players with top gear can now go to the PvP area to steal some materials from time to time. However, players who plan to do this must remember that your ornithopter must be at least T5, and you’d better prepare a spare ornithopter in your base, or at least prepare more parts, because you may be shot down by other players at any time.

PVP Players

Many PvP players have complained about this change, thinking that this change will ruin the content of PvP, but in fact, when the change officially takes effect, almost no one complains about this.

Because shrinking the PvP area is also a good thing for PvP players. In the previous Deep Desert PvP area was too large, and you could not meet large-scale PvP players in most areas, and this update compressed the PvP area, making it easier for PvP players to meet each other and then have a random battle.

Although such changes are worthy of recognition, the problem of cheating players rampant in the game is still serious, making it difficult for PvP enthusiasts to get a good gaming experience. Just adding a few PVE areas will not completely solve this problem. Further measures are still needed to combat cheating and improve the gaming environment.

Other Changes

In addition to the changes to the PVP area, there are some adjustments to optimize the gameplay, which will also affect PVP combat.

Rocket Launcher Module will cause your ornithopter to slow down, Scout Ornithopters will slow down by 20% and Assault Ornithopters will slow down by 10%. This is a good thing for single players who drive Scout Ornithopters to PVP areas to steal resources, so it is difficult for PVP players’ Ornithopters to catch up with him.

The second is that if you jump directly from the ornithopter, it will automatically land instead of gliding away. This is to prevent players who suddenly disconnect from the line from losing their ornithopters.

In short, these are some adjustments to optimize the gameplay. However, although this patch was very successful, the combat part of the game was not good enough so far. Whether it is the long-range design or the melee knife combat, it is not very smooth. This is also the reason players prefer PVE content, so I hope that the game can continue to optimize the combat feel.

For most WoW players, Mists Of Pandaria is always in their top three expansions. It was released in 2012 and brought a new race, Pandaren, and a new class, Monk.

The time spent exploring Pandaria is undoubtedly one of the best moments of the game. And 13 years later, World Of WarCraft Mists of Pandaria Classic is about to be released, and if you have played it or heard of it, you can relive your old times in it.

But of course, WoW Mists of Pandaria Classic is not exactly the same as the 2012 version. After all, although it is still the same company, the develope people are completely different. Let’s take a look at its new changes.

Date

World Of WarCraft Mists of Pandaria Classic will be officially released on July 21, when it will replace the current version and allow players to return and explore the world shrouded in fog and mystery, Pandaria.

Different Start

Unlike the freshness and excitement that Mists of Pandaria brought to players when it was first released, after many years, players have already known all the content of Mists of Pandaria and will no longer feel fresh. The developers naturally understand this, so they provide many services that can be obtained without WoW Classic MoP gold:

• Level 85: As long as you defeat Balnazaar in the current season, you can upgrade your character directly to level 85 in MoP, and this also applies to Pandaren monks.
• Free mount: After playing the initial area with Pandaren, you can get the mount, Shaohao’s Sage Serpent. (It will be added to your modern World of WarCraft account)

Flying Improvements

In the original version, you had to get your characters to level 90 to get the ability to fly, but in Mists Of Pandaria Classic, you only need to redeem Tome of Four Winds Fight in the store with MoP Classic gold after one of your classes reaches level 90, and then transfer this item to your other lower-level characters to make them fly as well.

Another good news is that you will level up very quickly in MoP Classic, so your main class will reach level 90 very quickly.

Legendary Quest

Legendary quests in the original game were a bit tedious because you had to participate in raid boss battles to get sigils, now you can collect sigils in Celestial dungeons, which is definitely much faster than before.

No Flex Raiding

Flex Raiding means that you can participate in raids with any size between 10 and 25 people, and its difficulty will also change dynamically. In Mists of Pandaria, you can only participate in the raid with a fixed 10 or 25 people, which requires players to find a reliable partner.

Faster Story Progress

The duration of Cataclysm Classic is shorter than the original Cataclysm. It took players more than a year to welcome Mists of Pandaria, so the progress of MoP will definitely be accelerated. The original version lasted for two years. Now that the production pressure is saved, the story progress of Mists of Pandaria Classic may be compressed to less than a year.

Reputation

The reputation system of Mists of Pandaria is its downfall, and it has been complained by players because it is too bloated and cumbersome. You have to do a lot of boring things for reputation.

In Mists of Pandaria Classic, the developers intend to streamline this system. Players can get a residence at the beginning without waiting for several months. After one of your characters reaches the maximum reputation level, your other characters will gain reputation faster.

Pre-Patch

The pre-patch for Mists Of Pandaria Classic is even bigger than the one for Mists Of Pandaria. It will add a pet system and allow you to upgrade your Pandaren monk to level 85 before the release on July 21, allowing you to dominate this season right from the start.

New Celestial Dungeon

Celestial dungeons are more difficult than normal dungeons. You will even encounter bosses in the raid. Of course, Mists Of Pandaria Classic gold and equipment you can get are much richer than in normal dungeons,and his is undoubtedly a new challenge.

No More Raid Finder

This feature removal will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the raid. Only players who really understand the raid can pass it. This is undoubtedly very unfriendly news for casual players, but successfully completing the raid can also bring more sense of achievement.

PVP

PVP will add more gladiators, and you can get rewards more easily. On the other hand, PVE items will be restricted to PVP, which undoubtedly improves the fairness of PVP.

World Of WarCraft Mists Of Pandaria Class is one of the most classic expansion packs in the history of WOW, and it still enjoys an excellent reputation among players. Whether you have ever been a player of World Of WarCraft or not, Pandaria is worth your visit and exploration.

The above are all the rewards for Spotlight Drop 1. The three players in this reward are all Quirks, so whether they are strong or not depends mainly on their attributes.

91 OVR Topps Now Colton Gordon

• Stamina: 88
• H/9: 83
• K/9: 88
• BB/9: 92
• HR/9: 81
• Pitch Clutch: 90
• Control: 89
• Velocity: 76
• Break: 90

Colton Gordon will make his major league debut as a starting pitcher for Astros on May 14, 2025. He had an up-and-down month in June. He had a great performance on June 6, which gave him his first win in MLB 25, and he also had a great performance against Twins on June 13, but the left-hander’s performance in the next game against Athletics was a little worse.

As a starting pitcher, 91 OVR Colton Gordon currently ranks 44th in MLB 25. His statistics are very balanced, except for a slightly slower speed. Other than that, Colton Gordon is not far behind the top pitchers.

91 OVR Topps Now Jac Caglianone

• Contact Right: 101
• Contact Left: 84
• Power Right: 92
• Power Left: 90
• Vision: 70
• Discipline: 67
• Clutch: 100
• Bunt: 35
• Drag Bunt: 25
• Durability: 95

Jac Caglianone just entered MLB on June 2 of this year, becoming an outfielder and first baseman for Kansas City Royals. He has hit two home runs in his at-bats in June, and in the same game, which undoubtedly proves his value.

Jac Caglianone’s attributes are very good. He has no shortcomings in both contact and power, but judging from his record of hitting two home runs, his power attribute should obviously be higher.

93 OVR Spotlight Series Hunter Goodman

• Contact Right: 102
• Contact Left: 88
• Power Right: 107
• Power Left: 90
• Vision: 67
• Discipline: 32

• Bunt: 35
• Drag Bunt: 25
• Durability: 95

Hunter Goodman is not an MLB rookie. He has already made his debut in the major leagues in 2023. He is currently a catcher and first baseman for Rockies. Hunter Goodman has been in hot form this month, reversing Rockies’ decline, and many fans think he should play in All-Star Game.

Hunter Goodman ranks seventh in MLB 25. He can also play as a left and right outfielder and first baseman. This flexible position selection makes his value far higher than most players who need MLB The Show 25 stubs. His right hand has strong contact and power, allowing him to successfully hit home runs in the game.

It has been over than 20 days since the update of CoD Black Ops 6 Season 4, and we will soon usher in the mid-term update of Season 4.

Although the changes brought by each mid-season update will not be as many as the season update, there are still many exciting contents. The new content of this Season 4 includes new modes, new maps and new equipment.

Date

The mid-season update of CoD Black Ops 6 Season 4, according to the pass, may be around June 26, and the specific time is around 9 am Pacific time/12 pm Eastern time/5 pm British Summer Time.

New Weapons

The two weapons previously previewed in season 4 will finally appear in the next update. They are the melee weapon Pickaxe and Olympia Shotgun.

As a melee weapon, the pickaxe can kill with one shot, but has a medium attack speed, which is obviously similar to the cleaver. If you want to understand the difference between them, you can try using them in CoD Black Ops 6 Bot Lobbies.

Olympia Shotgun was a very deadly weapon in Black Ops 3. It can almost kill with one shot at close range, but it must be reloaded frequently. Some players question whether it can be as good as in Black Ops 3. This is unclear, but the developers have retained its barrel and stock attachments, but there are no optical sights, muzzles, under barrels, rear grips, laser guns or ammunition modifications, and It is a bit strange that it is classified as a special weapon.

Zombie Mode

Many players are looking forward to a brand new map in Season 4 Reloaded, but the developers have confirmed that the new map is the content of Season 5. The new content of the next update will have two new activities and two limited-time activities.

• King of the Dead (June 26-July 3): Players earn points by killing the logo zombie mode in the first week.
• Master of Grief (July 10-17): After this mode is launched, players need to collect Essence in Grief.

Finally, Players will get the rewards which are according to the points ranking, but the developer has not announced the specific rewards. In addition, the developer confirmed that Grief mode is not a limited-time mode, and there will be more patches to make it more interesting.

Starting Room LTM

One of the two limited-time modes, players will enter the starting room of Moon mode in Black Ops 1. Players can only move on a part of this map and try to survive the zombies.

Abomination Challenge LTM

Players will come to Liberty Falls (a warped version) to challenge the very powerful Super Abomination. If your weapon level is not high enough, then your damage to it will also be reduced. You may have to use COD BO6 Redeem Codes to speed up your weapon upgrades.

Multiplayer Mode

Season 4 Reloaded will add two maps, Eclipse and Fringe. Fringe is a map from Call of Duty Black Ops 3, while Eclipse is a brand new map.

Warzone Mode

Season 4 Reloaded will add Resurgence Rank, which will exist at the same time as Verdansk Rank. There will also be two limited-time modes:

• Havoc Royale Limited-time Mode: 44 players in a 15-minute chaotic battle in a limited area of Verdansk
• Resurgence Casual Mode: basically the same as Resurgence mode, but there will be robots in the lobby.

Rivals Event

To celebrate the arrival of Season 4 Reloaded, there is currently a Rivals event where players can get weapon attachments, stickers, Weapon XP Tokens and other rewards. Rivals event has been launched on June 19 and will end on July 3. The event will last for two weeks.

Players need to gain experience in Zombies mode, Multiplayer mode, and Warzone mode to unlock milestone rewards. There are a total of 16 rewards and players need to get 622,000 XP to unlock all rewards.

1. Vote Adler (Emblem): Earn 15,000 XP
2. Vote Stitch (Emblem): Earn 15,000 XP

Chrono Odyssey is an open world action MMORPG built using Unreal Engine 5. The game incorporates some novel settings, and it can be seen that this Korean company is trying to make changes on their familiar track.

The biggest difference between Chrono Odyssey and previous Korean MMORPGs is that it also tries to put the combat and guidance of Soul series style (yes, it again) into the game.

Open World

Chrono Odyssey uses Unreal Engine 5 engine to create a vast open world experience, allowing players to explore it freely. The game combines medieval fantasy style with an unknown alien invasion background to create a unique and attractive game world view.

The open world design of Chrono Odyssey differs from previous MMOs. Rather than letting players follow a main story, it is more like putting players directly in a hostile sandbox world. The main quest will only give players the minimum guidance and require players to defeat the weird creature Void in Chrono Gate. As for how to become stronger? How to get powerful equipment? How to defeat the enemy? These are up to the players to explore.

If you want to defeat the powerful enemies in the main line, you must first take time exploring the map, collecting materials, earning Chrono Odyssey gold, upgrading your character, and then returning to the main city to prepare your equipment and supplements before you have a chance to challenge successfully.

In the process of map exploration, you will occasionally encounter some dungeons. Besides fighting, there will also be some puzzles or platform jumping designs, but there are no archives in the middle. If you make a mistake, you need to start over again. It is quite a test of the player’s patience!

Team Hunting

In addition to the main line challenge, the game also designs multiplayer cooperation content, including large-scale outdoor BOSS battles, and tasks that can travel through different timelines and team up with other players. However, in experience, the performance of these cooperative contents still has a lot of room for improvement.

For example, the system has support team formation, but in actual combat, the interaction between players is limited. When a teammate falls to the ground, there is no clear prompt on the screen, and the rescue time is short. If you encounter a fierce enemy, you often miss the rescue opportunity before you can react, making the overall cooperative experience somewhat weak.

In addition, if it is a wild boss, when the boss is defeated, if the player is not in the battle range, even if they are members of the same team, they cannot get any rewards. So if the player dies in the middle of the battle and is still on the way after resurrection, they can only watch their teammates happily receive the reward. Because of the fast battle rhythm, low fault tolerance, and the design that requires multi-person cooperation, such a reward mechanism may be frustrating in the future.

Wild Cooperative BOSS Battle

Chrono Odyssey uses a soul-based action combat system that is relatively rare in MMOs. Compared with other MMOs, it emphasizes dodge, block, and physical management. The battle difficulty is much higher. Any small monster on the road may make you see the familiar words “You died”.

Class

Like regular MMORPGs, Chrono Odyssey has six classes:

• Sorcerer
• Berserker
• Assassin
• Paladin
• Swordsman
• Ranger

Each class has three weapons to choose from and can equip two weapons at the same time. The number of skills of different weapons is independent, and they can be used alternately in battle, which greatly expands the skill set that players can use in actual combat.

As far as the current experience is concerned, the enemy’s movements are not smooth, and they will suddenly move or change movements, making it difficult for players to judge. Many attacks have delays in judgment, and even if you have raised your shield to defend or leave the attack range, you will still be hit. I hope the official can solve these problems before the official launch.

Chrono Odyssey is a very ambitious work to set. Whether it is the picture performance, the battle mechanism of time control, or the MMO game design that integrates Souls style, it shows great potential. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in combat feel, server stability, multiplayer cooperation design, and the overall game reward mechanism and exploration experience. I hope the development team can polish it well before the official launch.

Although Dune Awakening is a survival game, players need water, electricity and a base to block the sun, but Dune Awakening Solari is also very important. Many players may think that Solari, which can be got in the later stages of the game, is not much more difficult than grabbing a handful of sand. When you use Solari, it will slip through your fingers as quickly as sand.

Therefore, if you keep your resources abundant, you will not completely use up your Solari, and knowing some farm Solari methods can make you more relaxed in Arrakis.

What Can Solari Do?

Solari is the most common currency. It can be traded with merchants like gold in other games. You can find resources or part of schematics from merchants, which are very important at any time.

In addition, before you get your own ornithopter, you can also take the trade station ornithopter to various areas on the map, and each flight will consume 2500 Solari.

In addition, as a glorious citizen of the empire, you can’t escape the tax bureau that follows you everywhere. When you build a sub-fief in an area outside the south Hagga Basin, you have to pay taxes. The more sub-fiefs you have, the higher the taxes. If you don’t turn in Solari in time, your base shield will be revoked and everything inside will disappear.

How To Farm Solari?

Imperial Test Stations

There are large or small Imperial Test Stations scattered throughout the map of Arrakis. They are full of enemies and treasure chests. This can be regarded as a dungeon in other games. As long as you don’t die in it, you can get various Dune Awakening items, Solari, and schematics.

Because of the different sizes and difficulties of Imperial Test Stations, you can get 15K to 20K Solari, as well as advanced materials and schematics in some large Imperial Test Stations. If you are confident in your combat power, it is recommended to focus on farming Imperial Test Stations.

Intel Areas

Some areas on the map allow you to get Intel Points. Players need Intel Points to get more schematics to improve technology. In these areas are mini-fortresses with some guards. Clearing these areas will earn your Intel Points and about a few thousand Solari. There are currently about dozens of intelligence points. Clearing these areas will accumulate millions of Solari.

Bandit Camps

Basically, there will be hundreds of Solari in the treasure chest of each Bandit Camps. Although the number is not large, the advantage is that the enemies here are not very powerful and are everywhere on the map. Once you meet them, you can kil; them all, go in and search for items, and sometimes you will get unexpected gains.

Trading

Solari that can be got through trading is much more than you think. You must know that this game has tens of thousands of players online, and there will be many new players joining. Therefore, whether it is schematics, weapons, or vehicles, there will be players who need them, because you need to find a lot of resources to build these things yourself, which is very time-consuming.

You can sell some extra items or unique blueprints that you don’t need, because many players do this, but if you want to make more money this way, you need to understand the market trends and what items players generally need.

For now, the most in demand in the trading station is auto parts, which you can find in the Imperial Test Station or make yourself. You can make a lot of Dune Awakening Solari for each one you sell. For example, a Buggy Storage Mk5 can currently be sold for 25,000 Solari.

The second is unique items. You can often get schematics of some unique items in Imperial Test Station. If you make it, the price is usually between 20K and 1,000K. If you sell schematics, they rarely exceed 10K, which is a big difference. You can also see schematics worth 100K, but it’s hard to sell.

I recommend selling finished products, but some players prefer to buy blueprints directly because this saves Solari. You can first see which unique item sells the best and then work hard to cultivate it.

But be careful not to sell your spices. Spices are the most valuable items in the game and have many uses. You will hardly get any benefit from exchanging them for Solari.

Contracts

If you don’t want to waste your time on trading, there is another way to get Solari, that is contracts. You can think of them as side quests, and each contract reward contains thousands of Solari.

Some contracts come from trainers. By completing their tasks, you can not only get Solari, but also unlock the skill tree of the corresponding class, killing two birds with one stone.

If you have the time and patience, the best way to farm Dune Awakening Solari is to trade with other players. This won’t waste too much of your time, and you can specify a farming route to search for the resources and schematics that all players need most at the moment to improve your farming efficiency.
