CoD Black Ops 6: Are You Ready To Explore All The Easter Eggs In Citadelle Des Morts?

There is good news for players who are keen on MMORPG! Ashes of Creation, which is currently in open development, launched its third phase for players to try out on August 26, 2025, which is an important consideration for developers as they update subsequent game content or add new systems and features.

Although some of the game’s content, such as the properties and functions of each item or crafting material, will change in these mini launches, the basic mechanics of Ashes of Creation will not change much: you need to survive in the harsh environment and improve your strength as an explorer in Verra.

Therefore, the strategies and tips that can be used when playing this game are also universal. In view of this, this guide will introduce you to several tips for new players in the current Ashes of Creation Alpha Two Phase 3. Of course, this does not mean that veterans do not need to understand it, because it is very likely that it will be completely different from what you have experienced before.

1. Equip Multiple Mounts

First, a quick traversal strategy often overlooked by both new and experienced players. Since Verra is a vast and open area for exploration, and the number of shrines accessible for free teleportation is very small, traversing it on foot from one spot to another would require considerable time and effort.

In order to improve the efficiency of exploration, you should equip yourself with a mount with a faster movement speed, but one is definitely not enough during the mid-to-late battles, because they are likely to be killed by the enemy during the journey. 

If you only have one mount, you have to wait 10 minutes after it’s killed before you can use it again, which makes travel slow and painful. It is highly recommended to have a terrestrial and an aquatic mount, as this will allow you to travel to your next location and collect Ashes of Creation Gold and other loot easily and worry-free, regardless of the terrain.

2. Beware Of PvP

While PvP in Ashes of Creation is optional, the threat it poses is significant. In the current game, you can only engage in combat with other real players by looting their ashes or by deliberately entering a PvP zone, which is indicated by a purple symbol next to your character name.

After you turn on PvP, all players in the zone can attack you and will be immune to the consequences. However, once your purple symbol disappears, if they attack or kill you and you do not fight back, the opponent player will be corrupted, including multiple negative effects, and their name will turn red.

The most important thing is that after being killed by you, they will not only reward you with a lot of experience points and in-game gold, but will also drop several pieces of gear that they can use for you. 

Therefore, players who want to get more rewards from PvP should increase their defense capabilities to the maximum possible before turning it on, and always pay attention to the nameplate next to their character name to avoid being corrupted.

3. Avoid Death

As a survival game, the death penalty in Ashes of Creation is very severe: not only will you lose the experience points that are very necessary for your exploration, but you will also be teleported to the nearest emberspring or the one you choose to be the primary emberspring, which will cause you to lose 50% of the total materials in your current inventory, which is a great pity.

However, it is worth noting that if you return to the place where you just died and pick up the ashes you dropped when you challenge again, the items you just lost will be returned. If the ashes are picked up by someone else, they will be marked as PvP players by the system, and you will need to fight them to get your items back.

4. Focus On Some NPCs

There are many NPCs in Ashes of Creation that can provide you with a lot of resources. There are several of them at almost every node. They can generally provide you with some practical items, such as Rations and other consumables that are very necessary in the process of traveling through Vera, which can also be used to improve your character.

Of course, the prerequisite for interacting with them smoothly is that you have to have a lot of Ashes of Creation in-game Gold, so it is recommended that you go to NPC to find out the approximate price after entering a new node, and then work hard to farm gold coins to complete the transaction.

5. Make More Friends

As a massively multiplayer online game, exploring Verra in Ashes of Creation alone is incredibly difficult, even for regular crafting. You can’t fully utilize your available artisan skills on your own. Therefore, it’s important to make as many friends as possible. Alternatively, you can bring your real-life friends into the game.

This is mainly because trading between players is also an important way to improve your character’s strength in the game. It feels more secure when trading with friends who are familiar with each other’s information and have real-life connections. However, if this is not possible, please protect your account and password as much as possible during the process to avoid scams.

The above are some tips for beginners that apply to both the current Ashes of Creation Alpha Two Phase 3 and the subsequent official game. Although this game is still in the testing phase, the future development prospects are still good. Overall, it is a good game worth looking forward to. I wish you a happy game!

A few days ago, the recently popular WoW Mists of Pandaria Classic launched a new raid called Heart of Fear, located in the western area of ​​Dread Wastes. In this raid, players need to help Klaxxi destroy Mantid Queen to achieve the goal of clearing the negative influence of Sha within the race.

So, Grand Empress Shek’zeer is the final boss you encounter in this raid, which contains three combat phases, and each one is very challenging. If you’re working towards completing the raid but haven’t yet started the encounter with this powerful boss, this guide will provide you with combat strategies that will be perfect for you.

Here we will first give you an overview of Shek’zeer, and then introduce you to some of the combat moves that this boss will cast in 3 Phases, as well as the countermeasures that each member of the raid has, which are particularly needed to complete the challenge against her as quickly as possible.

Boss Overview

In the background story provided by WoW MoP Classic to players, Grand Empress Shek’zeer was corrupted by Sha of Fear, which led to her issuing many strange and paranoid orders, which made Klaxxi, the guardians of Mantid, begin to rebel. So overall, this encounter only has this boss as a target.

As mentioned above, the fight with Grand Empress will last three phases, but it’s worth noting that the transition from phase one to phase two is different from usual: it occurs 2.5 minutes into the fight. Therefore, whether you’re a healer, DPS, or tank on your team, try to avoid taking significant damage in the first phase, as this will make the fight more difficult later on.

Detailed Of Combat Moves

Next is the highlight of this guide: all the combat moves that Grand Empress Shek’zeer has. Please note that these moves can be rotated just like the abilities of your characters, so at the end of each move, all members must concentrate on predicting the next position that may be harmed.

Phase 1

Although this phase is only a short 2.5 minutes, Shek’zeer’s damage is immense. Therefore, you must be extremely cautious in responding to each potentially damaging move and spend as much MoP Classic gold as possible on your chosen defensive abilities such as Power Word: Shield to ensure a safe passage. Below are the mechanics and countermeasures for each move.

Dissonance Field

At the 30th and 60th seconds of this period, the boss will place two adjacent Dissonance Fields. These have a certain amount of health, but are only vulnerable to spell damage. During this period, spell-focused DPS players should attack them as much as possible, while the tank can continue to absorb the damage.

And when one of Dissonance Fields is destroyed, the other will cast Sonic Discharge to cause a lot of damage to the team. So in this process, you and your allies need to make sure that both of them are not destroyed at the same time, otherwise the damage they cause may not be able to withstand even the main tank.

Cry Of Terror

The boss applies a continuous Shadow damage debuff to a random player in your group, which also causes all nearby players to take damage. For this reason, while this debuff is inflicted on a player, all members except the healer should stay as far away from them as possible, at least 5 yards away.

Eyes Of The Empress

The most damaging move in Phase 1 is Eyes of the Empress. It applies a stacking debuff to the current target, permanently mind-controlling them at 5 stacks. Therefore, the tank should try to keep Shek’zeer facing away from the raid during this move, and perform a taunt-swap when the debuff reaches 3 stacks.

Dread Screech

During this phase’s final attack, Shek’zeer will cast an area-of-effect damage attack on a random ranged player every 6 seconds, inflicting significant physical damage to all other players within 5 yards of that player. If your team’s DPS is focused on ranged attacks, they should also stay away as much as possible during this phase, unless the tank is survivable enough to carry them away.

Phase 2

After 2.5 minutes, your fight with Grand Empress Shek’zeer automatically enters the next phase. During this phase, the boss becomes immune to all damage and summons two minions with distinct damage types: a group of Set’thik Windblades and two Kor’thik Reavers. Set’thik Windblades initiate the fight upon entering the arena, while Kor’thik Reavers pull you into the room.

In this phase, your main goal is to kill all the minions within 2.5 minutes, otherwise Shek’zeer will reappear and the minions will continue to damage you, making your battle process much more difficult than in Phase 1. After you repeat this process, when the boss’s health reaches 30% or less, you will enter the next phase.

Since the moves cast by the two monsters in this stage will be mixed with the boss’s moves, we will not introduce the name and mechanism of each move in detail here, but will directly provide you with the strategy for confrontation.

Because the two minions’ attacks mix with the boss during this phase, we won’t go into detail about their names and mechanics here. Instead, we’ll focus on countering them. First, Windblades will lock onto players and chase them, so you should use a kiting strategy whenever possible.

For example, you could cast a damaging ability on them, then use your mobility to escape, then recast damage again, repeating the cycle. Based on this strategy, it’s recommended that tanks with higher mobility focus on this fight, as it maximizes their advantage.

Furthermore, the minions can also cast Dispatch, which deals physical damage to random players and requires prompt interruption. As for Reavers, the damage they inflict is all poison-related, such as Poison Bomb, Toxic Slime, and Poison-Drenched Armor debuff, so consider adding some poison resistance to your character.

Of note, Sticky Resin slows players’ movement, but when two slowed players touch, the debuff dissipates, creating a small pool. When four allies are affected by the debuff and each drops their Sticky Resin into the pool, an Amber Trap spawns, which can stun Reavers and loses 5% health every 2 seconds, which is very helpful.

Phase 3

When Grand Empress Shek’zeer’s health reaches 30%, a dangerous DPS race begins. During this phase, the boss abandons all previous moves except Eyes of the Empress, so the tank must still monitor stack counts and switch taunts promptly.  Also, all players should equip Bloodlust to reduce the cooldown of their DPS’s damaging abilities. Countermeasures for the remaining moves are as follows.

Sha Energy

The boss will cast Sha Energy on two random players, dealing 80,000 Shadow damage. In a 25-player group, the number of players affected increases to 5. While this might seem like a significant damage potential, it’s not as threatening to players at this stage compared to other attacks. Dodge it if possible, or simply take it and use potions or healing abilities to restore the appropriate health.

Calamity

This move causes each player to take 50% of their current health in shadow damage. Since this damage is inevitable after everyone’s health drops, the healer must compensate as much as possible to ensure the team can continue the fight.

Consuming Terror

Shek’zeer unleashes this attack in a 70-yard cone in front of her, dealing 316,875 to 333,125 Shadow damage and causing players in the area to be terrorized for 4 seconds. To avoid this, avoid her by moving away from her or dispelling the debuff immediately after being struck.

Amassing Darkness

It still deals high Shadow damage, approximately 85,766 to 96,231 points. This move recurs every 2 seconds, hitting additional players until all have been hit. According to player reviews, this process can be unbearable for many tanks, so avoid it and anticipate the hit location whenever possible.

Visions Of Demise

Sometimes, you’ll see a Shek’zeer die, but its health remains. This is a hallucination cast by Shek’zeer, which ends after 4 seconds and inflicts Fear on players within 8 yards, dealing 121,875 to 128,125 Shadow damage for 20 seconds. Because of this, it’s highly recommended that you and your allies spread out to minimize the damage stacking.

Heart Of Fear

This move, which shares its name with this Raid, is unique to this boss. It unleashes a swirling heart of dark energy that targets a random player, dealing Shadow damage in their direction. If a player stands between the heart and the targeted player, they take all the damage. Due to the sheer amount of damage dealt, no specific tank specialization can handle it.

Therefore, healers have a heavier role to play in Phase 3, as maintaining the team’s combat effectiveness requires more time and energy. Therefore, when selecting raid members, try to choose those who are more skilled tanks and healers, as well as DPS with high damage potential and short cooldowns.

This concludes the overall process and strategies for defeating Grand Empress Shek’zeer in Heart of Fear raid in WoW MoP Classic. Hopefully, with the help of this guide, you’ll be able to quickly complete the encounter and claim the boss’ achievements for even more rewards and loot. Have fun!

According to the latest update, World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic is expected to launch two new battles in two weeks, namely Heart of Fear Raid and Terrace of Endless Spring Raid. Like the raids that are already available for exploration, these two new raids also contain a lot of achievements for you to claim.

If you want to explore them as soon as possible after they are opened, then you must not miss this guide, which will introduce the specific mechanisms and achievement lists of these two raids.

Heart Of Fear Raid

First up is Heart of Fear Raid, or HoF Raid, scheduled to officially launch on August 21st at 3:00 PM PDT, according to the developer’s previously announced schedule.

Previously, in MoP Classic’s lore, Sha of Fear corrupted Mantid Queen, causing her to frequently issue commands that were incomprehensible to Klaxxi faction, the guardians of Mantid culture.

As time passes, Klaxxi begin to prepare for radical action, and you, an explorer of Pandaria, must assist them in fighting against Mantid Queen and eradicating the evil influence that has infested her people, as they are few in number.

So, you can easily understand from this story background that Heart of Fear Raid is located in Western Dread Wastes, a zone filled with many Mantids. The closest flight waypoint to the raid is in Klaxxi’vess, which is accessible to both Horde and Alliance players.

At the same time, the character level requirement is 90 and above, and the required item level is 470 and above. It’s less than 24 hours away from opening now. If you haven’t reached the item level requirements for HoF Raid, it’s recommended that you invest a lot of WoW MoP Classic Gold in your various items, which is the most convenient and fastest way to get started.

The difficulty types included in Heart of Fear Raid are actually no different from the existing Mogu’shan Vaults and Galleon & Salyis’s Warband. They are all Normal and Heroic, and can be explored by a 10-player team or a 25-player team. Also, there are following 6 bosses for you and your team to challenge.

• Imperial Vizier Zor’lok
• Blade Lord Ta’yak
• Garalon
• Wind Lord Mel’jarak
• Amber-Shaper Un’sok
• Grand Empress Shek’zeer

According to the leaked preview images at this stage, Heart of Fear is a linear raid with a layout divided into two parts - Oratorium of the Voice and Heart of Fear, which you can only explore them in turn. As for the loot provided by the raid, the item levels provided by the normal difficulty and the heroic difficulty are different.

The normal difficulty will give you level 495 items, while the heroic difficulty will give you level 509 items, which may include Chest, Gloves, Legs Tier 14 Tokens and tons of MoP in-game gold, as well as the new Sha-Touched weapons that came following the raid.

After you successfully clear Heart of Fear Raid, you will be given Reins of the Heavenly Crimson Cloud Serpent based on your Glory of the Pandaria Raider meta-achievement, which is included in every raid.

Terrace Of Endless Spring Raid

Terrace of Endless Spring is a beautiful mountain range located across Jade Forest and Vale of Eternal Blossoms, a natural sanctuary. Furthermore, the tranquil fountains within are said to possess healing and rejuvenating powers, though these were abruptly halted by the arrival and devastation of Sha of Fear.

This Terrace of Endless Spring raid, which takes place on Veiled Stair in Valley of the Four Winds, is expected to officially be included in WoW MoP Classic on September 4th. The best flight point at that time will be Tavern in the Mists, which is available to both Horde and Alliance players.

However, according to the comments of some players who are familiar with the game map and the traversal route in the community, the main city of Vale of Eternal Blossoms may be your best starting point. But no matter where you start, the character level must be 90 or above, and the item level must be 470 or above.

The two difficulties and team sizes of this raid are the same as those of the previous raid, so I won’t go into detail here. However, I need to remind you that an important prerequisite for opening Terrace of Endless Spring is that you need to defeat the final boss in Heart of Fear raid - Grand Empress Shek’zeer.

Therefore, if you’re looking to jump into Terrace of Endless Spring raid on September 4th, be sure to check out the latest HoF Raid exploration, and strive to complete it in the shortest time. In this raid, you’ll find four bosses to challenge:

• Protectors of the Endless
• Tsulong
• Lei Shi
• Sha of Fear

Then there’s the raid’s loot, which is the same as Heart of Fear Raid, except that the first boss in Terrace of Endless Spring, Protectors of the Endless, also drops Elite gear, which is 7 item levels higher than what you’d get on normal difficulty (503 on normal difficulty, 516 on Heroic difficulty).

However, it should also be noted that the prerequisite for the drop of elite gear is that you successfully kill Protector Kaolan. If you successfully complete the raid, you will also get Reins of the Heavenly Crimson Cloud Serpent as your final reward.

The above are the details of the two new major raids that will be launched in WoW MoP Classic in the next two weeks. Don’t worry, after they are online, we will provide you with strategies and tips for traversing them as soon as possible, so that you can complete the exploration effortlessly and win all the rewards. I wish you a happy game!

In the recently hotly discussed WoW Mist of Pandaria Classic, Scholomance Dungeon is a reworked, low-level dungeon inherited from previous expansions, but featuring completely different quest and boss mechanics.

Generally speaking, with the right team composition, clearing Scholomance on normal difficulty is easy in half a day. However, on Heroic difficulty, all aspects of the game become more challenging.

Bosses acting as mentors not only teach you values like discipline, resurrection, and retraining through cutscenes, but also boast significantly improved combat moves. Furthermore, some leveling quests require significant time and effort to complete.

With this in mind, this guide will provide a strategy for exploring Scholomance dungeon on Heroic difficulty, covering the dungeon’s location, quest list, and boss encounter tips - all essential for navigating this fraught and challenging dungeon.

Location

According to the lore provided to players in WoW MoP Classic, Scholomance is a necromancy school located on an island southeast of Western Plaguelands, which requires character level 90 or higher and item level 435 or higher.

As with previous expansions, no specific dungeon key is required to enter Scholomance. As long as you gather your team and meet near the junction stone next to the entrance outside the castle, you can enter the dungeon.

In this latest expansion, only by completing the heroic difficulty dungeon can you have the opportunity to complete the corresponding achievements. For Scholomance Heroic, the most important achievement reward is Reins of the Crimson Cloud Serpent, as well as a lot of experience points and WoW MoP Classic Gold.

Quests

In the Heroic Scholomance dungeon, there are two quests for you to complete: The Four Tomes and An End to the Suffering, which are neutral quests available to both Horde and Alliance players. Below are the required tasks for each.

The Four Tomes

After entering Scholomance, you’ll be greeted by a helpful Talking Skull, who is the only NPC in this dungeon that can offer quests. It will provide you with 4 books: In the Shadow of the Light, Kel’Thuzad’s Deep Knowledge, Forbidden Rites and other Rituals Necromantic, and The Dark Grimoire, they are all about the great tomes studied about great necromantic evil. 

You need to advance the quest by finding these books. Next is the specific location of each book.

• In the Shadow of the Light - In the room where Instructor Chillheart lives.
• Kel’Thuzad’s Deep Knowledge - In the room where Jandice Barov lives.
• Forbidden Rites and other Rituals Necromantic - In the room in front of Lilian Voss.
• The Dark Grimoire - In the room where Professor Slate lives.

An End To The Suffering

After you’ve found all the tomes and returned to Talking Skull to deliver the collection, it will offer you the second quest in Scholomance, which requires you to defeat Darkmaster Gandling to unlock the curse contained within the land.

During this process, Talking Skull will follow you until you successfully kill the boss. Then take it to the end of Scholomance Heroic dungeon, and your level is considered complete.

Bosses

Throughout the dungeon, you’ll encounter five bosses in order: Instructor Chillheart, Jandice Barov, Rattlegore, Lilian Voss, and Darkmaster Gandling. Here are some tips and precautions for fighting them.

Instructor Chillheart

The encounter with Instructor Chillheart, the first boss encountered in Scholomance Heroic dungeon, is divided into two phases, each terminating when his physical body dies.

In the first phase, your team will be forced to run against the ice wall it unleashes, which is instantly fatal upon contact. If you manage to escape, be wary of the powerful shadow damage it inflicts, which lasts for ten seconds and is too much for even a tank to withstand.

In addition, during this phase, Instructor Chillheart will continuously inflict frost damage to you and your allies, so before starting the challenge with it, invest as much in-game gold as possible in your frost resistance to reach the maximum value to ensure your endurance.

When Instructor Chillheart’s physical body dies, the second phase of the confrontation begins. Its phylactery activates, and monsters from the tomes of magic appear to fight you. For example, Anarchist Arcanist creates a magical sphere that explodes on impact, dealing Arcane damage to all players within a 2-yard radius. 

Antonidas’ Self-Help Guide deals Fire damage to all players within a 2-yard radius. Additionally, Wander’s Colossal Book of Shadow Puppets fires dark magic bolts at random players, dealing Shadow damage.

The tip I can provide you here is to pull these small monsters as much as possible, that is, use the flexibility of DPS or tanks to increase the distance between the team and them, and keep them outside the 2-yard range as much as possible, which will greatly increase your chances of survival.

Jandice Barov

Next up is Jandice Barov, a mentor who teaches Advanced Illusions and has been lurking in Scholomance for years. She appears gentler than the previous one, but she’s far from it. Your fight with her is divided into a Main Phase and an Intermission Phase, with health points dropping to 66% and 33% respectively.

In Main Phase, it mainly relies on Wondrous Rapidity and Gravity Flux to deal damage to you, but you can cleverly avoid that Arcane damage and Shadow damage by improving your mobility. The real challenge is in Intermission Phase.

During this phase, Jandice will disappear and create a clone of herself with lower health. You’ll need to successfully kill the real boss to return to the main phase. If you damage the wrong boss, it will cast a flashbang, damaging the entire team.

Typically, the real boss is on the left side of the arena, but this isn’t always the case. Alternatively, while the clone is dodging Whirl of Illusion, you can use the bookshelves in the room to stack line of sight and damage it.

If your team has Death Knights, use Dark Simulacrum to disable their Wondrous Rapidity ability, which deals arcane damage, to maximize your chances of protecting yourself and your allies.

Rattlegore

Compared to the previous two multi-phase boss encounters, fighting Rattlegore is much simpler. Simply upgrade everyone in your party’s Bone Armor and stack it sufficiently to withstand Bone Spike.

For tanks with already strong defenses, if their DPS is lacking in damage, they’ll need to maximize their flexibility to kite. Besides this damage method, Rattlegore also frequently uses fire damage, which is something you should be aware of.

Lilian Voss

Perhaps the most pitiful character in this dungeon’s story is Lilian Voss. She strangled her father for treason and was forced to wreak havoc, ultimately spending the rest of her life in the dark corridors of Scholomance.

The encounter phases are divided into three stages. When her health is at 60%, the first stage ends. The second stage ends when her soul health reaches 1%. The third stage contains the same mechanics as the first stage.

Darkmaster Gandling

The final boss you face is Darkmaster Gandling, the backbone of the entire Scholomance, and therefore presents a greater challenge. Although it’s a single-stage fight, he periodically teleports a random member to one of six Study Rooms, where they face the same monsters.

If you’re a tank, you’ll need to kill the monsters quickly to unlock the door and protect your team’s DPS or healers from being killed by the monsters. In these study rooms, Darkmaster will imprison the former test subject in a nearby room and inflict Explosive Pain.

After removing Explosive Pain effect from the new test subject, he unleashes a magical energy explosion, dealing 20 Shadow damage to the former test subject within an 8-yard radius. Furthermore, during the fight, the boss will summon a group of Failed Students to attack you in a group.

In these situations, you can only avoid taking significant damage by dodging or moving as much as possible, or pick up Empty Polyformic Acid Vials to store potions to maintain your health and complete the dungeon’s achievements.

These are the current methods and strategies for clearing Scholomance Dungeon on Heroic difficulty in WoW MoP Classic. Hopefully, with the help of this guide, you can complete it quickly and claim the reward of a fascinating mount. Also, be sure to collect as many Honor and Justice Points as possible to redeem them for better gear later on. Happy gaming!

With the development of modern technology and the internet, more and more people are turning live streaming or posting short videos on platforms into full-time jobs. These people are collectively referred to as creators. Among the many popular platforms, Bigo Live has become one of the most sought-after platforms by creators, earning high acclaim.

Its viral reach allows over 500 million users in over 115 countries and regions to freely enjoy high-quality content from a wide range of creators. Most importantly, its powerful community co-building capabilities address three long-standing challenges for creators: income predictability, platform transparency, and emotional burnout.

Users previously believed that live streaming and short video platforms relied on high-quality content to attract more users and creators. However, for Bigo Live’s Vice President of Americas Operations, Lynette Yang, leveraging the community to foster closer relationships between creators and fans is crucial.

Through regular online presence and more meaningful interactions, fans develop a level of trust in creators. This in turn encourages creators to invest more energy and interest in their creations, resulting in higher-quality work, which in turn allows them to earn higher incomes through this method. This cycle also drives the sustainable growth of Bigo Live platform.

If you’re hesitant about making the transition from viewer to creator and have multiple concerns, here’s a summary of how Bigo Live leverages its community to empower creators to earn a modest income, or even support themselves. Without further ado, let’s get started.

Two-Way Interaction

Currently, Bigo Live hosts creators of all sizes, from beginners to established influencers, hoping to earn sustainable income through livestreaming, events, and videos. Lynette’s team has formed communities of users and creators with similar interests and fostered connections between them.

This not only allows users to precisely find their preferred creators, but also allows both small bloggers with a few hundred followers and large influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers to find their own dedicated following without relying on passive content consumption or algorithmic distribution, earning income through virtual gifts redeemed by viewers using diamonds from Bigo Live Top Up.

Furthermore, creators with strong community maintenance skills may receive performance bonuses tied to engagement metrics, as well as sponsorship opportunities with various brands. This will contribute to the sustainability of creators’ earnings. Most importantly, Bigo Live’s developers are increasing income predictability for every creator.

Through these metrics, all creators can see in real time how their engagement translates into revenue. This will significantly increase the frequency of interaction within the community, deepen relationships with their fans, and ultimately fuel their passion and interest in content creation.

Ongoing Support

For those just starting out in content creation, managing and maintaining an active presence in the community can be challenging. However, Bigo Live eliminates these challenges, as it provides ongoing support. However, it’s important to note that creators must be at least 18 years old, a strict safeguard for minors on the platform.

As long as you meet the age requirements, can download the app, and find the buttons to upload videos or start live streaming, you can become a creator, whether part-time or full-time, or even just for fun.

 However, for creators without any background, Bigo Live will directly provide them with development paths through talent agencies and direct creator programs, and guide them to become real content creators.

These organizations can provide early-stage creators with performance bonuses, mentorship, and increased platform exposure. Furthermore, the entire mentoring process combines technical tools with human support, a perfect reflection of the ongoing balance between technology and trust that Bigo Live platform maintains.

Localized Operations

Because Bigo Live’s user base is currently enormous and spread across the globe, the developers have developed a strategy: hyper-localization within a global context. 

This involves customizing user segments and preference groups within the community based on cultural norms, creator behavior, platform maturity, and region.

This strategy goes beyond simply translating into different languages. The review and trust systems, as well as creator education, are tailored to the challenges and opportunities faced by creators in different countries and regions. 

According to Lynette, this strategy has expended considerable investment and effort, but it is very worthwhile. In this case, creators from underdeveloped small towns can become big bloggers with a large number of fans with the help of appropriate tools or strategies.

Increasing Practicality

According to current creator feedback, livestreaming on Bigo Live has gradually become a core way for users to connect, learn, sell, and build trust in real time, rather than simply for entertainment. This is primarily due to the platform’s more interactive livestreaming formats.

For example, the real-time feedback tools and community-building capabilities for multiple streamers during livestreaming allow creators to engage more deeply with a diverse but equally loyal audience, enhance their standing within their fan base, and generate more revenue from virtual gifts donated by these viewers. These gifts are redeemable through diamonds in Bigo Live Recharge service.

With the help of the platform’s diverse content offerings, all creators can easily and smoothly build their own loyal niche communities and enjoy reliable support to foster their overall development. This even provides greater fairness for creators in niche markets, such as those in non-English-speaking regions.

Thanks to these features, creators enjoy an optimal creative experience on Bigo Live, resulting in extremely high ratings. Once again, I want to emphasize that as a creator, you will receive a lot of support and have huge development potential as long as you join this excellent social platform. I wish you a happy life!

It’s been over three weeks since the release of World of Warcraft’s new expansion, Mists of Pandaria Classic. Players are already midway through Phase 1, which is already actively being explored. According to the developer’s roadmap, the next phase is even likely to be released by the end of this month.

Based on the current trajectory of the gaming industry, Mists of Pandaria Classic should be a rising star. Unfortunately, despite the developer’s deliberate delays in releasing the game’s first raid and a new dungeon, player reaction to the expansion remains extremely negative.

Current Situation

Based on player feedback across major gaming platforms and within the community, many people who initially tried Mists of Pandaria Classic for its new expansion and intriguing storyline have abandoned it after a few weeks (an average of two weeks), turning to more established games like Old School Runescape or Turtle WoW.

This situation is detrimental to both players and developers: players can’t find more effective allies for teamwork-intensive tasks like completing raids and clearing dungeons; and developers can’t generate corresponding revenue from attracting new players.

Based on the current comments, here are two complaints that players have repeatedly mentioned, and some feasible solutions have been proposed. Although there is no guarantee that the developers will see and respond in time, it is also very good to act as a megaphone for the players.

Complaint 1: Excessive Grinding

The primary complaint from players is that grinding and farming in the game are extremely cumbersome and require excessive effort, whether it’s gear, experience points, or Mists of Pandaria Classic gold. While this process was necessary during Phase 1, especially before the release of Mogu’shan Vaults, it was simply too difficult.

While the explorable content in Throne of Thunder, Siege of Orgrimmar, and Timeless Isle is very compelling, the character levels required are prohibitively high. At levels 85-90, players can’t earn enough experience and gold to improve their character’s level and power in a single run, often requiring four or five resets to advance a level.

Under these circumstances, even high-level players who are adept at farming XP and understanding the rules of the game can become exhausted by the endless grind. Even the incredibly rich loot offered by Celestial Dungeons, which just launched two days ago, can’t rekindle their interest in exploration.

This can even lead to a vicious cycle - players become frustrated by their inability to defeat bosses or complete dungeons, prompting developers to quickly release new content, but its difficulty remains high, significantly hindering the exploration of players who actively level up their alt-characters and grind for gear to share with their main accounts.

While adjustments to the game’s difficulty will undoubtedly occur in WoW Classic MoP patch 5.3 or later, the overall number of active players will probably be significantly reduced by that time. Therefore, developers can consider providing players with cumulative experience bonuses for each level gained in subsequent content, which can be used to level up their characters.

Or, improve the quality or quantity of rewards offered for each accessible content. For example, in Celestial Dungeons, add more PvP gear and a large amount of in-game gold. This allows players to increase their specialization skills after successfully completing a dungeon, allowing them to quickly enter PvP content and earn more rewards, thus making their grind feel worthwhile.

As for regular player farming for Reputation Points, Valor Points, and Profession levels, it’s best to reduce its difficulty by patch 5.2 or before Heart of Fear raid launches. This will alleviate the pain of grinding for gear in the early game, increase interest in the new content, and make exploring it less of a chore.

Complaint 2: Too Many Bugs

Another complaint from player reviews is the constant occurrence of various game lags and crashes during exploration. This is unacceptable for a game with over 20 years of development history and a firm foundation of excellent original expansions.

Furthermore, since the release of WoW Classic Mists of Pandaria, the developers have been releasing hotfixes two or three times a week, each covering various areas such as classes, raids, dungeons, quests, and quality of life. While these updates are perfectly normal for MMOs, the frequency is exceptionally high.

Not only does this make many aspects of the game unfamiliar to players who have limited time to explore Pandaria after a long hiatus, but it also hinders players who log in daily and work hard to improve their characters, making it difficult to accurately formulate strategies, like farming MoP Classic gold, which is detrimental to player retention.

Although this is a common problem for all games released by this developer, and it is difficult to solve all in-game problems at once, it is still sincerely suggested that the developer can shut down the game before all players enter Phase 2 or Phase 3, and solve all the current complaints in the first patch after the server is launched, just like POE, but it cannot not update new leagues like it for nearly a year.

These are the two most common player complaints about WoW MoP Classic, along with some suggestions for developers. While developing and releasing a game is no easy feat, it’s unbelievable that a developer with such extensive experience and experience could produce a game that fails to satisfy both new players and longtime fans. Anyway, happy gaming!
