Dear players, WoW Midnight events for this week haven't reset yet. We still have time to participate in World Quest Bonus Event, which will increase your reputation gain by 50%. If you're aiming to boost your Midnight reputation, be sure to take advantage of this bonus before the week resets. Let's check out these exciting events!

Darkmoon Faire

Darkmoon Island is now open, granting players a 10% reputation and experience boost, which stacks with World Quest bonus.

Rewards available:

• Mounts: Darkmoon Zeppelin, Darkmoon Dancing Bear, etc.
• Transmog: Full Scarlet Crusade set (requires completing island quests to unlock access)
• Toys, pets, and Heirloom upgrade items

Additionally, defeating rare mobs like Moon Goddess will drop weapon skins.

It's recommended that players who need to grind reputation or experience first go to Darkmoon Island to get the buff before doing World Quest.

The next weekly event is Battleground Rewards Week, which will increase Honor Points and Honor Badges earned, making it more suitable for PvP players.

Limited-Time Rare Mounts

The current special altar location is Broken Throne in Zul'Aman. The altar difficulty is level 2 or higher, and high item level is not required.

Void-Corrupted Hex Eagle (Blue Glowing Version)

First, enter Broken Throne altar, pick up the lost candle on the ground, and then place the candle on the skull in the scene. Click to summon the rare monster, then kill it for a 100% chance of obtaining the mount.

The original Void-Corrupted Hex Eagle required 5-6 hours of reputation farming, while the current version only takes a few minutes. It also has a blue glowing effect and is much rarer in appearance.

The mount will drop as long as the altar is active; if you miss it, you'll have to wait several weeks for the next rotation.

Ancestral War Bear

Crafting this mount requires 6 Practically Pork. You can obtain Practically Pork by killing wild beasts; it's not difficult and is usually quite cheap.

Simply find Lost Bear inside the altar, feed it a Practically Pork, and you'll get the pet Chubs. Lost Bear will be marked on the minimap.

After using it, the pet will be added to your collection. Then, go to another designated location within the altar, summon Chubs to walk around, trigger the rare monster Angry Amani Warbear, and kill it. Finally, use five Practically Porks on the corpse to obtain the mount.

This mount also has a 100% drop rate and can be obtained in the same altar as the Void-Corrupted Hex Eagle.

Warbear model is the same as the old Zul'Aman, but the color is brown with a woven pattern.

Both mounts are only obtainable during Broken Throne altar's activation this week. After the weekly reset, the altar location rotates to Eversong Woods, at which time you can obtain another mount: Void-Touched Snapdragon. If you miss this week's patch, you'll have to wait weeks or even months for the altar to rotate to Zul'Aman again.

Patch 12.0.7 Preview

We can glean some details from last week's Patch 12.0.7 release.

First, Patch 12.0.7 will be themed around the history of trolls, but the specific name has not yet been announced. Also, a new chapter will be unlocked after the patch goes live, connecting to the subsequent 12.1.

Turbulent Timeways are finally returning in Patch 12.0.7. Void Assault and the new altar area will both be available in the new Midnight area.

Of course, the patch will also include a large number of new mounts and a new Transmog system, which we can look forward to.

Developer Controversy and Player Opinions

Recently, there has actually been some controversy surrounding the game within the community. This cannot be ignored.

$75 House Decoration Bundle

This official bundle, priced at $50 for the appearance only and $75 for the complete decoration bundle including indoor and outdoor furniture, is contradictory. The 12.0.5 version was released with numerous bugs and incomplete features, and the developers had just apologized, stating players deserved better. Now, they've immediately launched this high-priced bundle, a move drastically detached from player needs, making it impossible for players to remain silent.

The bundle is even more expensive than the game itself, and the housing system hasn't yet incorporated enough in-game racial styles, such as human-specific appearances, yet the paid bundle is already included. This inevitably raises the suspicion that developer resources are being used for pure profiteering rather than game improvements.

$1600 Lich King and Invincible Statue

Targeting hardcore collectors, but public opinion suggests that the official news lately consists of only two things: apologies and overpriced items.

Diablo 4 Collaboration Set

Porting Warcraft Tier 2 set style to Diablo 4, available for a limited time.

Players are questioning why T2 is being sold again when it's already been overused and two more T2-themed versions are planned.

The weekly reset is just around the corner; if you see a reminder, please complete the quests immediately. Prioritize using the remaining time to acquire the two altar mounts and Darkmoon Faire bonus.

Also, let's look forward to the development direction of Patch 12.0.7 and hope WoW Midnight can provide a satisfactory explanation to players.

Last Friday, MLB The Show 26 received a major content update, most notably the debut of a brand-new card set - Cityscape Cards - in Diamond Dynasty mode.

The players in this set are positioned as fan favorites in their respective cities. Accompanying the new set is a wealth of in-game content, including new Programs, Conquest maps, a massive collection, and new card packs in the shop.

Cityscapes Program Reward Path

Along with Cityscapes Program comes a collection mission that requires you to collect 30 Cityscapes cards. If you intend to complete this mission, it's best to collect all the free players along the reward path.

How to Make Progress?

Complete 5 moments (25 points total, 5 points each)

Tasks:

This mini-season's objectives are not based on wins or losses, but on experience points and accumulated statistics. Therefore, don't worry too much about winning or losing.

It's recommended to quickly gain player experience on high difficulty in the early stages, and then lower the difficulty to rookie difficulty later to focus on home runs and extra-base hits. Alternatively, you can do the opposite.

Complete a total of 75 home runs, etc. You may need to play all 28 games. It's recommended to use a lineup composed of Cityscapes players throughout.

Collection Missions

Below are the rewards for Cityscapes series collection missions, and the number of cards required:

• 92 OVR Clay Buchholz: 12 cards
• 93 OVR Jimmy Rollins: 24 cards
• 93 OVR Mickey Mantle: 30 cards

In addition to Cityscapes Program missions, there are two main single-player modes offering substantial rewards, allowing you to unlock approximately 16 Cityscapes players after completing all the free content.

Cityscape Conquest Mode Map

This new map, themed around the city skyline, requires you to conquer the Strongholds of eight teams, including Red Sox, Yankees, Phillies, Brewers, Cubs, Pirates, Mariners, and Rangers. Rewards for completing the map include:

• Cityscapes Deluxe Pack
• 90 OVR Richie Sexson
• A Deluxe Pack

Mini Season

Mini Season is a replayable reward mode, with each game consisting of three innings. It features a chain of missions:

1. Strike out 12 with any relief or closing pitcher to unlock 90 OVR John Franco.
2. Make two saves with John Franco to unlock 90 OVR Ian Kinsler.
3. Hit 4 Extra Base Hits with a 90 OVR to unlock 90 OVR Jim Edmonds.
4. Accumulate 20 Total Bases with Jim Edmonds to earn a Ballin as a Habit Pack.
5. Accumulate 22,000 Parallel XP in Mini Season with any player to unlock 91 OVR Edgar Martinez.
6. Accumulate 32 Bases with Edgar Martinez to earn another Premier Choice Pack.

Winning Mini Season will earn you a bundle of 10 card packs. There's also a repeatable mission during the season: accumulate 10,000 Parallel XP with Cityscapes players to repeatedly earn Deluxe Pack. This is the best way for free-to-play players to repeatedly farm card packs and MLB The Show 26 stubs.

How to Acquire The Remaining Players?

If you plan to complete all three collections, you'll also need to trade 12 Cityscapes cards on the trading market, which will require approximately 200,000 stubs.

If you only want Jimmy Rollins, not Mickey Mantle, it will only take around 53,000 stubs.

Mickey Mantle isn't a game-changing super card. While his stats are excellent, he won't completely transform your team. Therefore, it's not recommended to grind for him on day one. The cost of collecting him will decrease significantly over time.

Most of the free players in this Cityscapes Program are actually mediocre, while the players in the packs are better, some even surpassing Mickey Mantle. It's recommended to repeatedly play mini-seasons to accumulate Stubs and packs, and eventually use the free Stubs earned to directly get players from top-tier and ultimate packs on the market.
