An Interview About Necropolis' T17 Maps And Ranger Class In Path Of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2 shows a redesign of the original’s Ranger class, giving players a lot of cool lightning or poison skills. Path of Exile series continues to grow, showing its potential as the go-to ARPG for generations to come.

Game Director of Path of Exile series answered many questions in an interview, including Path of Exile’s upcoming Tier 17 Maps, and Path of Exile 2’s approach to Ascendancy classes.

An Interview About Necropolis' T17 Maps And Ranger Class In Path Of Exile 2

Ascendancy Classes And T17 Maps

Q: Will the duration of effects change dynamically? For example, if a player gains Frenzy Charge through Sniper’s Mark and Snipe while using Rain of Arrows, will the duration of Rain of Arrows change immediately?

Path of Exile 2 Game Director: In Path of Exile 2, these effects are generated when the player uses a skill, not when Frenzy Charge is gained. When the player activates these skills, they actually consume the existing charges.

Normally, the game will dynamically update various situations based on the changes in the character’s attribute values. However, if the player plans to consume the charge at the same time as the skill is activated. Then the skill’s effect will still be triggered when it is used, but the corresponding charge will also be consumed.

Q: In Path of Exile 1, Pathfinder was successful because of its excellent survivability and efficient use of flasks and poisons. So, how do you plan to adjust Ascendancy classes in Path of Exile 2?

Path of Exile 1 and 2 Game Director: In PoE 1, Ascendancy class system was successful. Although sometimes the balance was unbalanced and suddenly half of the players were only playing one class. But it created a lot of build diversity. PoE 2 will add 18 Ascendancy classes, and the existing Ascendancy classes will be completely redesigned and changed.

Q: How will the addition of Tier 17 Maps affect the game?

Path of Exile 1 and 2 Game Director: Tier 17 Maps are not mandatory. Players can still choose to run any tier they like. Players should be able to play comfortably on any tier their characters are capable of. Tier 17 Maps are only for players who wish to challenge a higher difficulty.

The quests or challenges in Tier 17 Maps are fixed and cannot be changed. They are usually larger and more challenging, and are a test of the player’s character’s skills. Therefore, players may try these quests occasionally instead of completing them repeatedly.

In addition, Divination Cards that can be obtained in other maps are not available here. Players should not focus on collecting these cards all the time, because the chances of obtaining them in the first place are not many. It is more like players occasionally try some of the high tier maps in Path of Exile.

Q: Are Tier 17 Maps tradable?

Path of Exile 1 and 2 Game Director: Tier 17 Maps are tradeable, and like any other in-game item, they last forever once traded. If you’re good enough and willing to put in the time, you can trade for more maps. If you’re just playing the game, you may find it difficult to get enough resources to support your progress.

Additionally, you can’t just farm Tier 17 Maps to get new Tier 17 Maps, so you’ll need to find other ways to get these resources, such as using Path Of Exile 2 Currency.

Chase Unique Meta And Class Identity

Q: What do you think of the current Chase Unique meta? Will it change with the redesigned Uniques in Necropolis?

Path of Exile 1 and 2 Game Director: I don’t think it will change substantially with the redesigned Uniques in Necropolis. There will always be new Uniques, some of which will hopefully become chase Uniques, but we can never predict which ones. We don’t know what the meta will be, or what the build will look like, we can only make best guesses.

One thing we hope to do is reduce the pain. So we’re going to make some changes to the drop rates of some Uniques to make them more world drop friendly and less non-world drop friendly, but that’s probably something we’ll talk more about later.

Q: How did you determine the class identities in Path of Exile 2?

Path of Exile 2 Game Director: When thinking about the game design, each class usually has its signature weapon type and most skills are associated with that weapon. Since Path of Exile is an open system game, this is just a suggestion to help new users understand a pleasant path.

For new players, it makes sense to choose a signature class and corresponding weapon type and focus on related skills. For example, as the game experience accumulates, players may find that some classes’ exploration methods are also applicable to other classes.

The game design aims to ensure that each class has a clear identity, providing players with a clear direction. When players start to try content outside of the class, all the crazy elements in Path of Exile begin to show.

In the future, we look forward to seeing more new content and updates to allow Path of Exile series to continue to grow and become the preferred ARPG for future generations.

Are You Ready For The New Content And Changes In Diablo 4 Season 6?

Diablo 4 Season 6 will retain the popular elements of Diablo 3 while introducing new questlines, items, and gameplay mechanics. The game expands its rich gothic world of Sanctuary, ensuring that both newcomers exploring Sanctuary for the first time and experienced veterans will find plenty to enjoy.

Diablo 4 Season 6 will introduce a lot of new content to this action RPG, just like every other seasonal event. Whether you are a player who has already reached level 100 or a new player who is considering joining through Game Pass, there will be a wealth of content waiting to be explored. This guide will take you through the release date of Diablo 4 Season 6 and all the new DLC content.

Are You Ready For The New Content And Changes In Diablo 4 Season 6?

Diablo 4 Season 6 Release Date

Diablo 4 Season 6 will be released on October 8, 2024, and will be launched at the same time as Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion. The expansion will introduce a new class and new regions, among other content. Players will need to make sure to complete all unfinished quests before the season changes.

Additionally, there will be significant changes during this season transition because of the level cap adjustment, which players should be aware of.

Diablo 4 Season Of Hatred

Diablo 4 Season of Hatred introduces some controversial changes, and some highly anticipated new features.

Because of the significant level cap change, loot and leveling mechanics have also been adjusted. In previous versions, the maximum level for players was level 100. However, with the launch of Season 6, all players who have reached the level cap will be reset to level 50, and the level cap will now be 60.

Item levels will also be reduced, although it is not clear exactly how this affects their strength. In theory, your gear should feel just as powerful as before relative to your level and abilities, and new, more powerful level 800 gear is being introduced to match the new level cap.

These changes are easier to understand if you think of them as an increase in player level to level 120 and equipment level to level 920 and above. Since new season characters start at level 1, this change only affects characters in Eternal Realm.

Diablo 4 Seasons Explained

Each season in Diablo 4 lasts approximately three months, with four seasons per year. Players must complete a campaign before they can experience the story content of a new season. If you are new to Diablo 4, you can complete the campaign in the seasonal realm, where monster hunting and dungeon clearing activities increase your Diablo 4 Battle Pass progress.

For players who have already started Sanctuary adventure, you will need to create new seasonal characters, each of which starts at level 1, allowing you to level up, experience seasonal content, and earn rich loot. After completing a campaign, the option to skip the campaign becomes available. After the season ends, your seasonal character will be transferred to Eternal Realm, allowing you to continue fighting.

Previous Diablo 4 Seasons

Season 1 - Season of the Malignant: This season introduces a new short story activity in which players search for Varshan the Consumed and deal with the plague by interacting with Malignant Hearts. Similar to Diablo 3, players will have a series of game objectives, such as completing any dungeon or collecting a Malignant Heart.

Players do not need to complete the entire list to advance to the next chapter, and can choose which objectives they prefer to tackle. After completing a chapter, players will receive various rewards, such as Legendary Aspects or Diablo 4 Gold. Each completed objective also rewards Favor, which allows players to advance Battle Pass.

Season 2 - Season of the Blood: During this season, players can earn up to 22 vampiric powers. Vampiric Powers can be unlocked by completing seasonal questlines and Blood Harvest Seasonal Event.

Season 3 - Season of the Construct: During this season, players can use a robotic companion called Seneschal, which can be upgraded through abilities and traits. In addition, a new dungeon type called Vaults is introduced, as well as leaderboards and the debut of the always-active Helltides.

Season 4 - Season of Loot Reborn: In this season, Iron Wolves disappear under suspicious circumstances, and players need to fight back against Helltide and earn their place as Iron Wolves. Seasonal and Eternal realms have made several major adjustments to how items are obtained and how loot works.

Season 5 - Season of the Infernal Hordes: This season introduces a new Infernal Hordes mode, where players can defeat waves of enemies in a limited time alone or with friends, and use Burning Aether through Well of Hatred to obtain loot between waves.

With Season 6, players can look forward to more exciting content and changes. Whether it is a new profession, a new area, or a major adjustment to the level cap, it will bring new challenges and fun to players. Please make sure to complete all unfinished tasks before the season changes and be ready for the new season.

New Icons Are Coming In EA Sports FC 25!

It is reported that there may be over 100 Icons in FC 25, such as Gianluigi Buffon, Gareth Bale and Lillian Thuram.

Compared with the previous versions, the representative Icons added to FC 25 in the game cover all eras, so players can even see Icons loved by family members of different ages in the game. This also proves from another aspect that Icons in FC 25 are so many and wide that they can bring players a rich and colorful gaming experience.

New Icons are often difficult to get when the game is newly launched. Only players who show excellent operating skills can win these Icons in the game to “work” for them. But in EA Sports FC 25, it is different. Players can get those Icons that are more difficult to get point.

Besides the new features in FC IQ, EA Sports FC 25 will have eight new members, including three men and five women, joining the team of over 100 Icons mentioned in the previous EA Sports FC. Below is a basic introduction to each Icon, and some possible predictions for their future performance in the game.

New Icons Are Coming In EA Sports FC 25!

New Icons

1. Gianluigi Buffon - 91 OVR

In this Icon, you can even find that he can have a strong reach, super explosive power in one-on-one, and accurate positional awareness.

It’s rare to see an Icon in Italy’s top flight after the age of 30, but as the record holder for appearances in Serie A, despite not appearing for four seasons, Buffon’s legendary status is undeniable.

His amazing strength in physical fitness and athletic skills will make him outstanding in FC 25. In addition, his new play against goalkeepers may affect the appearance effect of existing goalkeepers.

2. Gareth Bale - 88 OVR

Despite his average overall rating, Gareth Bale is still an excellent Icon with his own characteristics. In FC 25, he will show players excellent rhythm and athleticism.

Recently, EA seems to plan to lower the ratings of Hazard and Yaya Toure in FC 25, such as in Hero reveal. This move may be to make room for more special cards in Ultimate Team throughout the year.

Based on this, Gareth Bale can become a strong enough striker like Hazard and Yaya Toure.

3. Lotta Schlein - 90 OVR

As a striker, Lotta Schlein’s strength is unquestionable. In her 20-year sports career, she even scored more goals than she played, and is one of the top Icons.

She has some similarities with Norwegian athlete Ada Hegerberg, such as being tall, but also having excellent dribbling skills and techniques. If her PlayStyle+ is Finesse Shot as rumoured, she’s also similar to Alex Morgan, who was a standout in FC 24’s early games.

4. Julie Foudy - 90 OVR

Homare Sawa and Camille Abily have been successful additions to FC 24 as female Icons. Now, with similar skills, Julie will use her agility and durability to excel when she’s on the field.

5. Lillian Thuram - 88 OVR

As the godfather of Inter’s Marcus and Juventus’ Khephren, World Cup winning defender Lillian Thuram is a solid foundation for a team’s success, providing effective backstopping and supplementation for other defenders.

Thuram appears as a right-back in the trailer, but he’s also known for being a CB, just like Jules Kounde is now, and they both provide some options. As a result, Thuram is very agile, good at tackling, popular and popular. Of course, you need spend a lot of FC 25 Coins to play him.

6. Nadine Angerer - 92 OVR

Like Oliver Khan or Manuel Neuer, Nadine Angerer is a very threatening female Icon, full of momentum, difficult to beat, and her mere presence can destroy the confidence of opponents.

Hopefully, Goalkeeping PlayStyles will allow shorter goalkeeper (Angler is 5-foot-9) to function.

7. Aya Miyama - 90 OVR

Aya Miyama from Japan is a free kick expert. Because of her petite stature, she is agile, which is why she wants to be a flexible and cunning winger. In one match against England at the 2007 World Cup, she scored two goals.

Although her main PlayStyles is Dead Ball+, I hope she can show more possibilities through subsequent activities and performances. After all, her superior flexibility is very promising for her to shine in new Rush mode later.

8. Marinette Pichon - 88 OVR

Today, French men’s and women’s football teams are a major force in international football, but Marinette scored France’s first goal in Women’s World Cup back in 2003. In fact, it was not only the fourth FIFA-sanctioned tournament but also the first for France.

Her highlights on the pitch were latching onto the end of a long through ball or smashing in a karate kick volley, like a true number 9.

All Icons

From just a few players to a team with many Icons, if the returning list remains the same, the number of stars in EA Sports FC 25 will exceed 100.

Below is a list of all Icons that have appeared in previous games:

  • Mia Hamm
  • Brigit Prinz

  • Laurent Blanc
  • David Trezeguet

Icons That May Appear In The Future

While the last few Icons that will appear in EA FC 25 have been introduced one by one, there are actually some Legendary players who may appear in the game in the future.

The most famous and anticipated among them is undoubtedly Diego Maradona. He appeared as a member of Classic XI before EA’s likeness rights expired a few years ago.

El Diego and Pele have been rated as the greatest Icons of all time, and if he returns to the game again, it will undoubtedly confirm this statement. And his dribbling will definitely surprise everyone once it appears in the new game style.

Another Icon that people are looking forward to is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Because of the problem of image usage between him and EA, he failed to get End of an Era card in FIFA 23. However, it is reported that the two sides are communicating and negotiating about image usage. If the negotiation is appropriate, the possibility of Zlatan’s return will be greatly increased.

In addition, the content setting of downgrading from Icons to Hero is also very concerned. For example, Rui Costa and Jari Litmanen have experienced this in FC 24.

Some Icons were introduced before Hero level setting and exist as long-term Icons, such as Luis Hernandez, David Trezeguet and Juan Sebastian Veron, so their usage rate in the game is low and they may be downgraded in the future. The same is true for some other forwards who rarely appear, such as Davor Suker and Fernando Torres.

In short, in EA Sports FC 25, the addition of each new Icon is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, and the new features and new gameplay are also highly anticipated and worth looking forward to.

Are You Ready To Take On NBA 2K25’s MyGM And MyNBA Modes? - Recommended 10 Best Teams To Rebuild

Players may not know enough about the many intriguing rosters that MyGM and MyNBA offer before their first play through of NBA 2K25, including a unique backstory in MyGM mode that sets initial attributes based on the player’s management style, a new Perks system, and the new experience of MyNBA that allows players to manage basketball teams from any era. No matter which mode you choose, here are ten of the most interesting franchises to choose from.

1. San Antonio Spurs

Victor Wembanyama showed the potential of a generational talent in his rookie season, attracting attention from all over the league. But his San Antonio Spurs finished a last season with a record of just 22 wins and 60 losses. To improve the situation, Spurs made key improvements in the draft, including selecting Stephon Castle with the fourth overall pick and several other promising rookies. In addition, they also acquired point guard Chris Paul, who may be a future Hall of Fame candidate, through a trade.

Although Western Conference is highly competitive, building a team around a superstar like Wembanyama will be a big attraction. Not to mention, Spurs also have NBA Champion Gregg Popovich.

2. Houston Rockets

Udoka led Celtics to NBA Finals in his first season as a coach, showing his tactical talent. So I believe that under the guidance of head coach Ime Udoka, Houston Rockets will rise quickly. In addition, the expiration of the contract of veteran point guard Fred Van Fleet in a year will release a lot of money for the team.

In NBA draft, Houston selected the exciting guard Reed Sheppard with the third pick. Although there are still several unknowns about the team’s final lineup, it is still an attractive project for players.

3. Charlotte Hornets

Charlotte Hornets has failed to make the playoffs for eight consecutive years. NBA legend Michael Jordan sold most of his shares in Hornets in 2023. Under the new leadership and the talented young coach Charles Lee, Hornets are preparing to change their destiny.

Last season, the team failed to achieve the expected achievements because of injuries. But the healthy LaMelo Ball has the confidence and ability to control the game, and Brandon Miller proved that he can score easily from all positions on the court in his rookie season. With the powerful support of Mark Williams and Miles Bridges, Hornets are expected to end this long playoff drought, which is an exciting challenge for those who are eager to end this historical record.

4. Los Angeles Lakers

With LeBron James approaching his 40th birthday and Anthony Davis as a big man with a history of injuries, Lakers’ prospects are less clear. Other teams in Western Conference are constantly improving, while Los Angeles seems to be in an uncertain transition period.

Since Lakers do not have a first-round draft pick until 2026, it means that the team will face an enormous challenge to plan for the future once James retires. Still, the team has two superstars, so the players will have to accept the current roster and take some steps to become a championship contender.

5. Utah Jazz

Utah Jazz once signed Lauri Markkanen to a huge contract. But many contracts will expire at the end of the next year or the following season, which gives Jazz ample financial space to pursue any top free agents they wish.

Utah has eight first-round picks in the next three seasons, which provide opportunities for large trades. The team will have great flexibility in future lineup adjustments by allocating 2K25 MT as you think it will be.

6. Chicago Bulls

Although Bulls have neither obtained top draft picks nor made significant achievements in the playoffs since 2021. But in the recent draft, Chicago Bulls selected potential rookie Matas Buzelis with the 11th pick. Coby White also made significant progress last season.

The reason this team’s reconstruction is attractive enough is that there are some issues that need to be adjusted, including the trading of Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic in exchange for future assets and solving the problem of how to deal with Lozo Ball, whose career has been frustrated by serious injuries.

7. Toronto Raptors

Toronto Raptors could not reach the heights of their 2019 championship run after losing Kawhi Leonard. Still, Raptors have some promising players who are under contract for at least three years. And with several unknowns on the roster, finding a way to combine all of them will have the potential to lead Toronto to another NBA Finals appearance.

8. Detroit Pistons

Detroit Pistons are coming off their worst season in franchise history at 14-68. But with promising rookies like Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and R.J. Barrett, you can take advantage of them to lead this team to continued success.

9. Portland Trail Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers’ roster is currently lacking enough to compete. Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe are the few glimmers of hope for Portland’s future. While rebuilding Portland Trail Blazers won’t be easy, the fact that they will have a chance to participate in Cooper Flagg lottery in the next NBA draft could be a turnaround for the team.

10. Washington Wizards

Rebuilding this team will come with a lot of difficulties. Jordan Poole was considered one of the most disappointing players in the league last year, and his huge contract with three years left on it has made matters worse. Kyle Kuzma’s value has also shrunk. Although Washington has been unsuccessful in developing rookies, Washington Wizards are excited about Alex Sarr, the rookie they selected with the second overall pick in 2024.

So, are you ready? It’s time to start your NBA 2K25 MyGM and MyNBA journey!

EA FC 25 Combines Brand Partnerships To Lead The Forefront Of Sports Video Games

For many years, EA Sports has been firmly at the forefront of innovation in the sports gaming industry, with its games not only constantly innovating in gameplay but also bringing unprecedented gaming experiences to players through a series of innovative brand partnerships.

EA Sports has won wide acclaim in the industry for its deep partnerships with major sports brands, well-known clubs and top leagues around the world. These partnerships are not just simple brand placements, but are integrated into every aspect of the game in a very creative and attractive way, greatly enriching the content and depth of the game.

After the release of EA Sports FC 25, EA Sports has launched in-depth cooperation with well-known brands such as Nike Air Zoom Arena, Xfinity and Intersport, and carried out innovative activation activities in the game. These initiatives have broadened the overall quality of the game and further expanded its influence beyond the traditional football simulation category.

EA FC 25 Combines Brand Partnerships To Lead The Forefront Of Sports Video Games

Nike

Nike’s cooperation with FUT 25 marks a leap forward in the digital football experience. Together, the two parties unveiled Nike Air Zoom Arena, a futuristic digital stadium designed specifically for the game’s 5v5 Rush mode. Inspired by Nike’s iconic Mercurial football boots, the stadium is designed to provide players with an immersive, high-speed, small-sided match experience.

Besides creating a unique playing field, Nike also took the opportunity to promote its innovative. SWOOSH platform, which allows players to further personalize their in-game characters through exclusive Nike gear and special events. This deep integration not only enhances the realism of the game but also provides players with more customization options, allowing them to express their style in the virtual world.

Peacock And Xfinity

EA Sports has partnered with Comcast’s Peacock and Xfinity brands to cleverly integrate elements of both brands into FIFA 25. The partnership brings a number of exclusive game content and experiences to players in North America. For example, a Xfinity-inspired Ultimate Team jersey was specially designed in the game. Players can get it by spending some FUT 25 Coins.

Besides innovations in the virtual world, Xfinity is also committed to improving the gaming experience in the real world. Also, Xfinity provided high-speed and stable Wi-Fi connections and low-latency service guarantees to ensure that every participant can enjoy a smooth and unimpeded gaming process.

Intersport

Intersport, a world-renowned sports goods retailer, is embarking on a journey of innovation with EA Sports FC 25, aiming to seamlessly merge the boundaries of digital and physical retail.

Through the immersive experience in the game, Intersport not only enhances the brand’s online visibility but also effectively promotes the interaction of customer traffic between the online platform and the physical store, achieving mutual attraction and synergy between online and offline.

AS Roma And Olympique De Marseille

Roma and Olympique de Marseille (OM), two iconic teams in European football, have established a long-term strategic partnership with EA FC 25. This cooperation not only marks a new exploration of the two clubs in digitalization but also demonstrates a firm commitment to promoting gender equality in sports games.

In FC 25, both the men’s and women’s teams of Roma and OM have been fully reproduced, including participating in top women’s football events such as Barclays Women’s Super League and UEFA Women’s Champions League.

A highlight of this cooperation is that it is not limited to the presentation of the virtual world but also goes deep into the construction of the real-world football ecosystem. Take OM’s Orange Vélodrome stadium as an example. The venue has been carefully digitally rebuilt, allowing players to experience the unique atmosphere and passion of this legendary stadium in person in the game.

The partnership also extends to grassroots football development, such as OM’s Next Gen program, which aims to inspire a love of football among the younger generation through gaming platforms and provide support and opportunities for their growth.

McDonald’s Ligue 1

McDonald’s has renewed its long-term partnership with Ligue 1, further deepening its brand’s football experience in both the virtual and real worlds. Under this new agreement, McDonald’s will not only feature prominently in FUT 25, but will also appear in iconic stadiums such as Orange Vélodrome.

In addition, by supporting youth football development programs such as OM Next Gen, McDonald’s is committed to developing the next generation of football players and encouraging them to pursue their dreams.

These partnerships go beyond traditional sponsorships to deeply integrate real-world brands into the core of gaming. As gaming, sports, and brand experiences merge, FIFA 25 showcases the future of interactive sports entertainment.

An Interview About Necropolis' T17 Maps And Ranger Class In Path Of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2 shows a redesign of the original’s Ranger class, giving players a lot of cool lightning or poison skills. Path of Exile series continues to grow, showing its potential as the go-to ARPG for generations to come.

Game Director of Path of Exile series answered many questions in an interview, including Path of Exile’s upcoming Tier 17 Maps, and Path of Exile 2’s approach to Ascendancy classes.

An Interview About Necropolis' T17 Maps And Ranger Class In Path Of Exile 2

Ascendancy Classes And T17 Maps

Q: Will the duration of effects change dynamically? For example, if a player gains Frenzy Charge through Sniper’s Mark and Snipe while using Rain of Arrows, will the duration of Rain of Arrows change immediately?

Path of Exile 2 Game Director: In Path of Exile 2, these effects are generated when the player uses a skill, not when Frenzy Charge is gained. When the player activates these skills, they actually consume the existing charges.

Normally, the game will dynamically update various situations based on the changes in the character’s attribute values. However, if the player plans to consume the charge at the same time as the skill is activated. Then the skill’s effect will still be triggered when it is used, but the corresponding charge will also be consumed.

Q: In Path of Exile 1, Pathfinder was successful because of its excellent survivability and efficient use of flasks and poisons. So, how do you plan to adjust Ascendancy classes in Path of Exile 2?

Path of Exile 1 and 2 Game Director: In PoE 1, Ascendancy class system was successful. Although sometimes the balance was unbalanced and suddenly half of the players were only playing one class. But it created a lot of build diversity. PoE 2 will add 18 Ascendancy classes, and the existing Ascendancy classes will be completely redesigned and changed.

Q: How will the addition of Tier 17 Maps affect the game?

Path of Exile 1 and 2 Game Director: Tier 17 Maps are not mandatory. Players can still choose to run any tier they like. Players should be able to play comfortably on any tier their characters are capable of. Tier 17 Maps are only for players who wish to challenge a higher difficulty.

The quests or challenges in Tier 17 Maps are fixed and cannot be changed. They are usually larger and more challenging, and are a test of the player’s character’s skills. Therefore, players may try these quests occasionally instead of completing them repeatedly.

In addition, Divination Cards that can be obtained in other maps are not available here. Players should not focus on collecting these cards all the time, because the chances of obtaining them in the first place are not many. It is more like players occasionally try some of the high tier maps in Path of Exile.

Q: Are Tier 17 Maps tradable?

Path of Exile 1 and 2 Game Director: Tier 17 Maps are tradeable, and like any other in-game item, they last forever once traded. If you’re good enough and willing to put in the time, you can trade for more maps. If you’re just playing the game, you may find it difficult to get enough resources to support your progress.

Additionally, you can’t just farm Tier 17 Maps to get new Tier 17 Maps, so you’ll need to find other ways to get these resources, such as using Path Of Exile 2 Currency.

Chase Unique Meta And Class Identity

Q: What do you think of the current Chase Unique meta? Will it change with the redesigned Uniques in Necropolis?

Path of Exile 1 and 2 Game Director: I don’t think it will change substantially with the redesigned Uniques in Necropolis. There will always be new Uniques, some of which will hopefully become chase Uniques, but we can never predict which ones. We don’t know what the meta will be, or what the build will look like, we can only make best guesses.

One thing we hope to do is reduce the pain. So we’re going to make some changes to the drop rates of some Uniques to make them more world drop friendly and less non-world drop friendly, but that’s probably something we’ll talk more about later.

Q: How did you determine the class identities in Path of Exile 2?

Path of Exile 2 Game Director: When thinking about the game design, each class usually has its signature weapon type and most skills are associated with that weapon. Since Path of Exile is an open system game, this is just a suggestion to help new users understand a pleasant path.

For new players, it makes sense to choose a signature class and corresponding weapon type and focus on related skills. For example, as the game experience accumulates, players may find that some classes’ exploration methods are also applicable to other classes.

The game design aims to ensure that each class has a clear identity, providing players with a clear direction. When players start to try content outside of the class, all the crazy elements in Path of Exile begin to show.

In the future, we look forward to seeing more new content and updates to allow Path of Exile series to continue to grow and become the preferred ARPG for future generations.

Are You Ready For The New Content And Changes In Diablo 4 Season 6?

Diablo 4 Season 6 will retain the popular elements of Diablo 3 while introducing new questlines, items, and gameplay mechanics. The game expands its rich gothic world of Sanctuary, ensuring that both newcomers exploring Sanctuary for the first time and experienced veterans will find plenty to enjoy.

Diablo 4 Season 6 will introduce a lot of new content to this action RPG, just like every other seasonal event. Whether you are a player who has already reached level 100 or a new player who is considering joining through Game Pass, there will be a wealth of content waiting to be explored. This guide will take you through the release date of Diablo 4 Season 6 and all the new DLC content.

Are You Ready For The New Content And Changes In Diablo 4 Season 6?

Diablo 4 Season 6 Release Date

Diablo 4 Season 6 will be released on October 8, 2024, and will be launched at the same time as Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion. The expansion will introduce a new class and new regions, among other content. Players will need to make sure to complete all unfinished quests before the season changes.

Additionally, there will be significant changes during this season transition because of the level cap adjustment, which players should be aware of.

Diablo 4 Season Of Hatred

Diablo 4 Season of Hatred introduces some controversial changes, and some highly anticipated new features.

Because of the significant level cap change, loot and leveling mechanics have also been adjusted. In previous versions, the maximum level for players was level 100. However, with the launch of Season 6, all players who have reached the level cap will be reset to level 50, and the level cap will now be 60.

Item levels will also be reduced, although it is not clear exactly how this affects their strength. In theory, your gear should feel just as powerful as before relative to your level and abilities, and new, more powerful level 800 gear is being introduced to match the new level cap.

These changes are easier to understand if you think of them as an increase in player level to level 120 and equipment level to level 920 and above. Since new season characters start at level 1, this change only affects characters in Eternal Realm.

Diablo 4 Seasons Explained

Each season in Diablo 4 lasts approximately three months, with four seasons per year. Players must complete a campaign before they can experience the story content of a new season. If you are new to Diablo 4, you can complete the campaign in the seasonal realm, where monster hunting and dungeon clearing activities increase your Diablo 4 Battle Pass progress.

For players who have already started Sanctuary adventure, you will need to create new seasonal characters, each of which starts at level 1, allowing you to level up, experience seasonal content, and earn rich loot. After completing a campaign, the option to skip the campaign becomes available. After the season ends, your seasonal character will be transferred to Eternal Realm, allowing you to continue fighting.

Previous Diablo 4 Seasons

Season 1 - Season of the Malignant: This season introduces a new short story activity in which players search for Varshan the Consumed and deal with the plague by interacting with Malignant Hearts. Similar to Diablo 3, players will have a series of game objectives, such as completing any dungeon or collecting a Malignant Heart.

Players do not need to complete the entire list to advance to the next chapter, and can choose which objectives they prefer to tackle. After completing a chapter, players will receive various rewards, such as Legendary Aspects or Diablo 4 Gold. Each completed objective also rewards Favor, which allows players to advance Battle Pass.

Season 2 - Season of the Blood: During this season, players can earn up to 22 vampiric powers. Vampiric Powers can be unlocked by completing seasonal questlines and Blood Harvest Seasonal Event.

Season 3 - Season of the Construct: During this season, players can use a robotic companion called Seneschal, which can be upgraded through abilities and traits. In addition, a new dungeon type called Vaults is introduced, as well as leaderboards and the debut of the always-active Helltides.

Season 4 - Season of Loot Reborn: In this season, Iron Wolves disappear under suspicious circumstances, and players need to fight back against Helltide and earn their place as Iron Wolves. Seasonal and Eternal realms have made several major adjustments to how items are obtained and how loot works.

Season 5 - Season of the Infernal Hordes: This season introduces a new Infernal Hordes mode, where players can defeat waves of enemies in a limited time alone or with friends, and use Burning Aether through Well of Hatred to obtain loot between waves.

With Season 6, players can look forward to more exciting content and changes. Whether it is a new profession, a new area, or a major adjustment to the level cap, it will bring new challenges and fun to players. Please make sure to complete all unfinished tasks before the season changes and be ready for the new season.

New Icons Are Coming In EA Sports FC 25!

It is reported that there may be over 100 Icons in FC 25, such as Gianluigi Buffon, Gareth Bale and Lillian Thuram.

Compared with the previous versions, the representative Icons added to FC 25 in the game cover all eras, so players can even see Icons loved by family members of different ages in the game. This also proves from another aspect that Icons in FC 25 are so many and wide that they can bring players a rich and colorful gaming experience.

New Icons are often difficult to get when the game is newly launched. Only players who show excellent operating skills can win these Icons in the game to “work” for them. But in EA Sports FC 25, it is different. Players can get those Icons that are more difficult to get point.

Besides the new features in FC IQ, EA Sports FC 25 will have eight new members, including three men and five women, joining the team of over 100 Icons mentioned in the previous EA Sports FC. Below is a basic introduction to each Icon, and some possible predictions for their future performance in the game.

New Icons Are Coming In EA Sports FC 25!

New Icons

1. Gianluigi Buffon - 91 OVR

In this Icon, you can even find that he can have a strong reach, super explosive power in one-on-one, and accurate positional awareness.

It’s rare to see an Icon in Italy’s top flight after the age of 30, but as the record holder for appearances in Serie A, despite not appearing for four seasons, Buffon’s legendary status is undeniable.

His amazing strength in physical fitness and athletic skills will make him outstanding in FC 25. In addition, his new play against goalkeepers may affect the appearance effect of existing goalkeepers.

2. Gareth Bale - 88 OVR

Despite his average overall rating, Gareth Bale is still an excellent Icon with his own characteristics. In FC 25, he will show players excellent rhythm and athleticism.

Recently, EA seems to plan to lower the ratings of Hazard and Yaya Toure in FC 25, such as in Hero reveal. This move may be to make room for more special cards in Ultimate Team throughout the year.

Based on this, Gareth Bale can become a strong enough striker like Hazard and Yaya Toure.

3. Lotta Schlein - 90 OVR

As a striker, Lotta Schlein’s strength is unquestionable. In her 20-year sports career, she even scored more goals than she played, and is one of the top Icons.

She has some similarities with Norwegian athlete Ada Hegerberg, such as being tall, but also having excellent dribbling skills and techniques. If her PlayStyle+ is Finesse Shot as rumoured, she’s also similar to Alex Morgan, who was a standout in FC 24’s early games.

4. Julie Foudy - 90 OVR

Homare Sawa and Camille Abily have been successful additions to FC 24 as female Icons. Now, with similar skills, Julie will use her agility and durability to excel when she’s on the field.

5. Lillian Thuram - 88 OVR

As the godfather of Inter’s Marcus and Juventus’ Khephren, World Cup winning defender Lillian Thuram is a solid foundation for a team’s success, providing effective backstopping and supplementation for other defenders.

Thuram appears as a right-back in the trailer, but he’s also known for being a CB, just like Jules Kounde is now, and they both provide some options. As a result, Thuram is very agile, good at tackling, popular and popular. Of course, you need spend a lot of FC 25 Coins to play him.

6. Nadine Angerer - 92 OVR

Like Oliver Khan or Manuel Neuer, Nadine Angerer is a very threatening female Icon, full of momentum, difficult to beat, and her mere presence can destroy the confidence of opponents.

Hopefully, Goalkeeping PlayStyles will allow shorter goalkeeper (Angler is 5-foot-9) to function.

7. Aya Miyama - 90 OVR

Aya Miyama from Japan is a free kick expert. Because of her petite stature, she is agile, which is why she wants to be a flexible and cunning winger. In one match against England at the 2007 World Cup, she scored two goals.

Although her main PlayStyles is Dead Ball+, I hope she can show more possibilities through subsequent activities and performances. After all, her superior flexibility is very promising for her to shine in new Rush mode later.

8. Marinette Pichon - 88 OVR

Today, French men’s and women’s football teams are a major force in international football, but Marinette scored France’s first goal in Women’s World Cup back in 2003. In fact, it was not only the fourth FIFA-sanctioned tournament but also the first for France.

Her highlights on the pitch were latching onto the end of a long through ball or smashing in a karate kick volley, like a true number 9.

All Icons

From just a few players to a team with many Icons, if the returning list remains the same, the number of stars in EA Sports FC 25 will exceed 100.

Below is a list of all Icons that have appeared in previous games:

  • Laurent Blanc
  • David Trezeguet

Icons That May Appear In The Future

While the last few Icons that will appear in EA FC 25 have been introduced one by one, there are actually some Legendary players who may appear in the game in the future.

The most famous and anticipated among them is undoubtedly Diego Maradona. He appeared as a member of Classic XI before EA’s likeness rights expired a few years ago.

El Diego and Pele have been rated as the greatest Icons of all time, and if he returns to the game again, it will undoubtedly confirm this statement. And his dribbling will definitely surprise everyone once it appears in the new game style.

Another Icon that people are looking forward to is Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Because of the problem of image usage between him and EA, he failed to get End of an Era card in FIFA 23. However, it is reported that the two sides are communicating and negotiating about image usage. If the negotiation is appropriate, the possibility of Zlatan’s return will be greatly increased.

In addition, the content setting of downgrading from Icons to Hero is also very concerned. For example, Rui Costa and Jari Litmanen have experienced this in FC 24.

Some Icons were introduced before Hero level setting and exist as long-term Icons, such as Luis Hernandez, David Trezeguet and Juan Sebastian Veron, so their usage rate in the game is low and they may be downgraded in the future. The same is true for some other forwards who rarely appear, such as Davor Suker and Fernando Torres.

In short, in EA Sports FC 25, the addition of each new Icon is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, and the new features and new gameplay are also highly anticipated and worth looking forward to.

Are You Ready To Take On NBA 2K25’s MyGM And MyNBA Modes? - Recommended 10 Best Teams To Rebuild

Players may not know enough about the many intriguing rosters that MyGM and MyNBA offer before their first play through of NBA 2K25, including a unique backstory in MyGM mode that sets initial attributes based on the player’s management style, a new Perks system, and the new experience of MyNBA that allows players to manage basketball teams from any era. No matter which mode you choose, here are ten of the most interesting franchises to choose from.

1. San Antonio Spurs

Victor Wembanyama showed the potential of a generational talent in his rookie season, attracting attention from all over the league. But his San Antonio Spurs finished a last season with a record of just 22 wins and 60 losses. To improve the situation, Spurs made key improvements in the draft, including selecting Stephon Castle with the fourth overall pick and several other promising rookies. In addition, they also acquired point guard Chris Paul, who may be a future Hall of Fame candidate, through a trade.

Although Western Conference is highly competitive, building a team around a superstar like Wembanyama will be a big attraction. Not to mention, Spurs also have NBA Champion Gregg Popovich.

2. Houston Rockets

Udoka led Celtics to NBA Finals in his first season as a coach, showing his tactical talent. So I believe that under the guidance of head coach Ime Udoka, Houston Rockets will rise quickly. In addition, the expiration of the contract of veteran point guard Fred Van Fleet in a year will release a lot of money for the team.

In NBA draft, Houston selected the exciting guard Reed Sheppard with the third pick. Although there are still several unknowns about the team’s final lineup, it is still an attractive project for players.

3. Charlotte Hornets

Charlotte Hornets has failed to make the playoffs for eight consecutive years. NBA legend Michael Jordan sold most of his shares in Hornets in 2023. Under the new leadership and the talented young coach Charles Lee, Hornets are preparing to change their destiny.

Last season, the team failed to achieve the expected achievements because of injuries. But the healthy LaMelo Ball has the confidence and ability to control the game, and Brandon Miller proved that he can score easily from all positions on the court in his rookie season. With the powerful support of Mark Williams and Miles Bridges, Hornets are expected to end this long playoff drought, which is an exciting challenge for those who are eager to end this historical record.

4. Los Angeles Lakers

With LeBron James approaching his 40th birthday and Anthony Davis as a big man with a history of injuries, Lakers’ prospects are less clear. Other teams in Western Conference are constantly improving, while Los Angeles seems to be in an uncertain transition period.

Since Lakers do not have a first-round draft pick until 2026, it means that the team will face an enormous challenge to plan for the future once James retires. Still, the team has two superstars, so the players will have to accept the current roster and take some steps to become a championship contender.

5. Utah Jazz

Utah Jazz once signed Lauri Markkanen to a huge contract. But many contracts will expire at the end of the next year or the following season, which gives Jazz ample financial space to pursue any top free agents they wish.

Utah has eight first-round picks in the next three seasons, which provide opportunities for large trades. The team will have great flexibility in future lineup adjustments by allocating 2K25 MT as you think it will be.

6. Chicago Bulls

Although Bulls have neither obtained top draft picks nor made significant achievements in the playoffs since 2021. But in the recent draft, Chicago Bulls selected potential rookie Matas Buzelis with the 11th pick. Coby White also made significant progress last season.

The reason this team’s reconstruction is attractive enough is that there are some issues that need to be adjusted, including the trading of Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic in exchange for future assets and solving the problem of how to deal with Lozo Ball, whose career has been frustrated by serious injuries.

7. Toronto Raptors

Toronto Raptors could not reach the heights of their 2019 championship run after losing Kawhi Leonard. Still, Raptors have some promising players who are under contract for at least three years. And with several unknowns on the roster, finding a way to combine all of them will have the potential to lead Toronto to another NBA Finals appearance.

8. Detroit Pistons

Detroit Pistons are coming off their worst season in franchise history at 14-68. But with promising rookies like Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and R.J. Barrett, you can take advantage of them to lead this team to continued success.

9. Portland Trail Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers’ roster is currently lacking enough to compete. Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe are the few glimmers of hope for Portland’s future. While rebuilding Portland Trail Blazers won’t be easy, the fact that they will have a chance to participate in Cooper Flagg lottery in the next NBA draft could be a turnaround for the team.

10. Washington Wizards

Rebuilding this team will come with a lot of difficulties. Jordan Poole was considered one of the most disappointing players in the league last year, and his huge contract with three years left on it has made matters worse. Kyle Kuzma’s value has also shrunk. Although Washington has been unsuccessful in developing rookies, Washington Wizards are excited about Alex Sarr, the rookie they selected with the second overall pick in 2024.

So, are you ready? It’s time to start your NBA 2K25 MyGM and MyNBA journey!
