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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
The biggest news in the current MMORPG landscape is that both Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2, two games often compared to each other, are releasing new content this month, but Path of Exile 2 is likely to be the most discussed.
Partly, this is because Diablo 4 only released PTR for the next season, while Path of Exile 2 released a brand new patch, 0.3.0, and a new league, The Third Edict. Furthermore, the 0.2.0 patch added to the sequel in April significantly reduced existing content with the introduction of the new Huntress class, leaving many players frustrated and even giving up.
Whether players have already tried Path of Exile 2 or are simply waiting to see what’s next, everyone is eagerly anticipating the changes and impact of this new patch. Patch 0.3.0 is scheduled to officially release on August 29, 2025, at 1:00 PM PDT, and the developers recently released a new teaser image.
While the developers will typically hold a livestream a few days before the patch’s release (August 20, 1:00 PM PDT) to detail the new content and new formats, for those curious, here’s a brief overview of what’s coming in Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.3.0, based on that teaser image and some leaked information from the community.
While Path of Exile 2 is still in Early Access, the release of the previous major patch and the emergence of the Dawn of the Hunt league have dampened expectations for a full release. Players are even considering the current game content as the final version and are urging the developers to release the remaining acts as soon as possible.
In a previous interview, game director Jonathan Rogers talked about Act 4 in detail, and introduced that the overall story will be set on a Karui-themed island on Ngamakanui. The challenge difficulty will be slightly higher than the first three acts, but the rewards, such as POE 2 Currency and the quantity and quality of arable loot will also be higher.
In addition, in this act, players may also be infected with the blood fever disease possessed by the indigenous people of the island and fight against all enemies. This will test the player’s control and calculation of elemental resistance and damage ability during the production and construction process, which is especially challenging for players using Monks and Warriors.
Although the developers have not explicitly stated it, the appearance of a new Act must indicate that there will be some new bosses for players to challenge, and its appearance and combat mechanics have been leaked. However, this is not an oversight by the staff, but a boss challenge provided by Path of Exile 2 at Cologne Gamescom in Germany.
In this boss challenge, players need to choose from 7 preset character builds and complete the challenge with 15 bosses, which requires you to complete the battle with the previous boss to open the arena with the next boss.
Most of these 15 bosses have never appeared in this sequel, these are likely the bosses added in the 0.3.0 patch. According to some player feedback, the bosses are very scary, even creepy. Some of them are very large and have very high health points, so the challenge may become very high.
However, this is also in line with the developers’ setting for POE 2: a sequel that is much more difficult than the original. Based on the previous Acts, it is very likely that the next three acts of the game will contain three bosses or even five bosses in one act.
Many players speculated that the new class option coming in Path of Exile 2’s 0.3.0 patch would be Druid, because Jonathan stated in a previous public interview that the developers were working on a Druid better suited to the sequel’s content. With the patch less than a week away, they should theoretically be ready.
As for whether there will be a situation where new classes are added while existing content is weakened as in the previous patch, the game director said very sincerely that it will not happen again. He will even balance the construction options of each class as much as possible in the 0.3.0 patch so that players can have a more comfortable experience.
In addition, there is another class that may appear in POE 2 and has a foreshadowing, which is Shadow. In the trailer of Supporter pack recently released for Path of Exile 1, Shadow was revealed for a second, but the setting style it contains is very similar to that in the sequel and the background is like Clearfell contained in Act 1 of POE 2, which makes everyone speculate that the developers may want to test players’ acceptance of Shadow through the trailer of the original game.
The new Endgame introduced here doesn’t mean the developers are completely remaking Endgame content. Rather, it’s adding some brand new maps and making some adjustments to address player complaints about the game’s lack of depth. Details of the new maps’ appearance and mechanics will probably be revealed during the developer livestream in a few days.
Here are some of the changes that Endgame may be facing. The first is the increase in loot. Although some changes have been made to this in previous patches, they have not satisfied players. This time, the developers have directly promised to make players’ exploration in Endgame more profitable, including increasing the chance of pinnacle bosses dropping unique loot.
In addition, the developers are also trying to introduce some new events and mechanisms to make the game content with a high degree of challenge less predictable and more attractive to players. However, from my personal point of view, this approach is likely to be counterproductive, because the exploration risk and investment risk involved are increased.
However, the specific implementation will have to wait until the official release of patch 0.3.0. In addition, the developers have also addressed some issues with some classes’ builds during this battle, such as reducing the survivability and combat capabilities of the summoned armies in the minion build; and providing more weapon options for melee builds, so that players can create more build possibilities.
These are the details of what Path of Exile 2 will include in patch 0.3.0, scheduled for release on August 29th, based on leaks and developer announcements.
Although the previous patch of this sequel dealt a heavy blow to players, it’s worth affirming that the developers have clearly recognized their mistakes, and the sincerity contained in the 0.3.0 patch is relatively high. So if you are a player who gave up on it before, why not give it another chance? I wish you a happy game!
Good news! Diablo 4 has announced that Public Test Realm for Season 10, Season of Infernal Chaos, will begin on August 19th and conclude seven days later. The official launch date for the season has been confirmed as Tuesday, September 23, 2025.
Recently, the developers released Patch 2.4.0 for Season 10 PTR, introducing numerous changes and additions to the existing game content, giving all players a preview of this significant season. This guide will analyze what players can expect in Season 10 based on this patch note.
First and foremost are the changes to existing content, which players have been eagerly anticipating. This new season, the developers have completely overhauled Infernal Hordes, introduced in Season 5, much like the previous season’s controversial addition of Escalating Nightmares to Nightmare Dungeons.
In reality, the two changes are essentially the same: Escalating Nightmares make Nightmare Dungeons more challenging; while in Season 10 PTR, the addition of tougher Fell Council members and new Chaos monsters activated after defeating the final boss, with Shrine-like abilities, have made the difficulty of Infernal Hordes is further increased.
Not only that, Infernal Hordes also adds a high-risk but high-reward activity - Chaos Waves, which contains various monsters with chaos damage attacking you, and they continue to surge towards you in waves. Thankfully, while these additions do seem to increase the game’s difficulty, they also double the rewards you can get, both in terms of Diablo 4 Gold and loot.
In addition, Bartuc, the Warlord of Blood, who was once very unpopular among players in Diablo 2, has also returned in Diablo 4. Because of his return, the boss options you can challenge in Infernal Hordes have changed: Bartuc or Fell Council.
Just like when you kill members of Fell Council, successfully defeating Bartuc will also count as successfully running Infernal Hordes and reward you with a large amount of Burning Aether, which can be used to unlock Spoils of Hell, which contains various equippable gear, crafting materials, and gold.
Previously, Diablo 4’s Torment difficulties and Infernal Hordes were two separate world activities, but they’re now connected in the next Season of Infernal Chaos. Infernal Hordes will be available as Fleeting Hordes before you enter Torment difficulties, where you’ll face four waves of Hordes and two Fell Council members.
This run is much simpler than a regular run through Infernal Hordes, but the experience and loot are the same, making it a great way to upgrade or hone your build and gear before entering the endgame, making it easier to get through the rest of the game.
Diablo 4 Season 10 theme clearly indicates Chaos will be the focus of this season, so the seasonal mechanic, which allows you to craft even more powerful gear through Chaos Perks, is a key focus of this PTR. Currently, Perks are divided into four tiers: Magic, Rare, Legendary, and Unique. Each piece of gear has one unique perk alongside any combination of three other Perks.
Like affixes, each Perk has its own advantages and disadvantages, such as sacrificing maximum health to increase Resistance, Barrier, and Shield Generation. According to the developers, each class in D4 will have its own Chaos Perks, but the specific types and functions will probably be revealed after PTR is released.
As with regular seasonal updates, the developers have added a random event called Chaos Rifts in Season 10. Activating these events will cause a surge of demons to spawn, and successfully defeating them will reward you with rewards. Furthermore, during regular exploration, players may encounter the extremely rare Mythic Chaos Rift, which will reward with Mythic gear.
Based on some player speculation and the developer’s usual practices, the probability of Mythic Chaos Rift appearing is likely similar to that of Treasure Goblin Fancy Old Fedric, with a probability of appearing approximately once every one million attempts. While the odds are slim, it’s worth keeping an eye on.
When talking about Chaos, it’s impossible not to mention Chaos Armor mechanic added by the developers in Diablo 4, which allows you to convert existing Uniques into different gear types. This mechanic has garnered widespread attention since its release.
The developers’ introduction to it can be a bit confusing, so here’s an example to help you understand. With this added, Barbarian’s Hooves of the Mountain God might drop as a chestpiece instead of boots, meaning you can take full advantage of the affixes on each unique item, which previously were locked to stacked gear and unable to be fully utilized.
Of course, the tradition of adding a new Unique item for each class continues with this update. Below are the specific names of these items and the slot types they can be placed in.
Although the properties and effectiveness of the above items may change in the official season, it is worth mentioning that in S10 PTR, Druid may once again gain a higher damage bonus due to this new item; Necromancer may still maintain its position as the best class because this item has no merits.
The above is a breakdown of the content in Patch 2.4.0, currently available for Diablo 4 Season 10 PTR. As the developer’s roadmap released earlier this year indicated, Season 10 will include an IP Collaboration in addition to regular seasonal updates, so this upcoming season should be a very interesting and worthwhile one to explore. We hope you enjoy it!
In this week’s player-selected list of the best DPS in WoW Mists of Pandaria Classic Phase 1, it’s surprising to find that the previously little-known Windwalker Monk specialization has quietly made it into the top three and has become a staple in many raid-intensive groups.
If you’re looking for a DPS with strong combat capabilities and excellent survivability, Windwalker Monk may be the perfect choice for your current game. However, before you begin exploring its capabilities, it’s essential to learn more about the various options currently available for this specialization, including races, talents, and professions.
Before we delve into the available options, let’s first take a look at Windwalker Monk, a specialization with tremendous potential. Thanks to its stackable cleave ability, this specialization offers a significant advantage against single-target enemies in raids.
Furthermore, Windwalker Monk can unleash a well-timed slashing attack, making it incredibly effective in destroying groups of enemies. And its Tigereye Brew ability is stackable too, allowing you to fine-tune when to use its cooldown and achieve sustained damage.
These impressive abilities, combined with its high mobility, make Windwalker Monk one of the most popular and sought-after DPS characters among players.
Of course, Windwalker Monk does have some drawbacks. For example, its early burst damage isn’t sufficient in some boss encounters, as it only reaches significant damage potential in the mid and late-game after reaching a certain number of stacks.
It is also a pity that this specialization can use only one of the single attack or area attack at a time, and cannot be used at the same time. This will result in the inability to quickly clear them and obtain more WoW MoP Classic Gold when fighting against bosses or enemies that summon small minions to cause additional damage.
Since the racial selection in WoW Mists of Pandaria Classic doesn’t impact specialization as much as in previous expansions, you can choose any race for your Windwalker Monk, as long as you choose your faction.
However, given the lore revealed in this new expansion, Pandaren race is the ancestor of Monk class, so the best choice here is undoubtedly Pandaren. Below are some recommended racial options and their specific effectiveness.
While Pandaren lacks powerful active racial, Epicurean passive racial can easily double the stat gains from Well Fed, and the effectiveness of this racial increases with higher-level recipes, up to a maximum of 300 Agility per build.
As long as you maintain a healthy Windwalker Monk’s health and maintain the benefits of other gear, this Agility will provide you with consistent flexibility. Another racial worth noting is Quaking Palm, which disorients enemies for 4 seconds after casting, making it very useful in PvP.
In fact, Orcs have been a popular race choice for Monks for several expansions, thanks to their powerful Blood Fury ability, which allows you to optimize the cooldown based on your preferred attack power. And don’t forget Axe Specialization, which grants you an additional 1% proficiency with your axe or fist weapon, a significant bonus.
Humans are an excellent race choice for Alliance players because their Will to Survive perk effectively reduces the duration of stuns in PvP, giving you a greater advantage in combat.
Next up are the crucial talents and glyphs for Windwalker Monk. Since players currently primarily use this for single-target combat, the recommendations here are tailored to that playstyle.
If you’re looking to develop a stronger DPS for group damage, you can also add other talents and improve them as much as possible. Below are recommended talent options for levels 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90, as well as Major and Minor glyph choices.
The final section introduces the professions you can choose for your Windwalker Monk. Like races, these professions have little impact on your character’s in-game performance, so you can choose based on your preferences.
However, we recommend prioritizing Blacksmithing, Jewelcrafting, and Tailoring, as these are three professions that offer significant benefits in MoP Classic. Here are the effects they have.
Blacksmithing, which provides additional gear slots, is the one you should focus on the most. This allows you to equip more bracers or gloves in your specialization, achieving greater defensive capabilities, which are often lacking for DPS players.
This profession arguably offers the most lucrative potential of these recommended options. Serpent’s Eyes provides not only significantly increases your agility, but also fetches a high price on Auction House, allowing you to sell them for a significant amount of in-game gold.
While the excellent items crafted by Tailoring profession cannot be assembled, Swordguard Embroidery it provides is invaluable to Windwalker Monk, significantly improving their melee abilities and reducing their cooldowns.
These are the best races, talents, glyphs, and professions for Windwalker Monk in WoW MoP Classic. The properties and effects of these options may change after the end of Phase 1 or after the release of the next new content (raids and dungeons), so please check the latest updates. Happy gaming!
Although PvE in World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria Classic doesn’t offer the same level of challenge as PvP, this battle mode offers a variety of currencies that are essential for your exploration, including Justice Points, Valor Points, and August Stone Fragments, which is one new currency type introduced with Celestial Dungeons.
Of these currencies, Justice Points are the most important, as they can be used to obtain Heirlooms, which grant bonus experience points and valuable gear. Best of all, with the release of new content like Throne of Thunder and Phase 3, this essential currency can be used to obtain epic gear of even higher rarity.
Given the importance of Justice Points, this guide will detail how to earn and use them in WoW MoP Classic, allowing you to easily complete all in-game PvE and PvP quests and advance your exploration progress. It’s worth noting that the maximum number of Justice Points you can store in-game is 4,000.
Similar to previous WoW Classic expansions, you can earn Justice Points by completing dungeons and raids in Mists of Pandaria expansion. After reaching the level cap of 90, you can earn this currency by running Scenarios or farming bosses in Heroic Dungeons.
It’s important to note that you must meet the required character and item levels to access Heroic Dungeons and higher-level challenges. However, since you are eager to farm Justice Points frequently, it’s important to focus on damage and survivability while also investing some WoW MoP Classic Gold to reduce your ability cooldowns and achieve consistent damage.
Here’s how many Justice Points each source can earn you in-game, from least to most:
While the total cap on Justice Points is 4,000, there’s no cap on how many you can earn each week, so you’ll want to make sure to spend some before major patches like new raids or new stages to ensure you have enough room to store the currency for future in-game content.
Additionally, you can exchange Valor Points and August Stone Fragments, as well as Honor Points for a certain amount of Justice Points at the corresponding vendors. However, directly exchanging them for the more valuable gear is more important for Phase 1, where you need to improve your game level and character strength.
Now that you know how to farm Justice Points, let’s move on to their specific uses. The first thing we’ll introduce is exchanging them for items of varying levels at Justice Points Gear Vendors, which is one of the most common uses. Here is a list of the item levels each component has.
According to the current list of gear that can be exchanged for Justice Points listed by the developers, the number of each component required is between 1,250 and 2,200, which is very easy to achieve for players who have been exploring since the release of the main game. New players can farm as much as possible through some of the methods introduced above.
In addition, you need to know the location of each Justice Points Gear Vendor. Remember, they are faction-neutral and can be interacted with by both Horde and Alliance players.
In addition to regular PvP gear, Heirlooms are also a type of item that is worth exchanging for Justice Points, including Chests, Shoulders, Weapons, and Trinkets.
With the help of these heirlooms, you can collect more experience points faster, and each item will give you different attribute gains, making it easier for your character to grow and cope with various challenges and tasks.
The most important thing is that you can only use this currency to upgrade these precious items from level 80 to 85, and different types of items require different points.
However, they are basically most effective when you are around level 85-90, so you should redeem them as early as possible in the game and place them in your inventory for emergency use.
Below is the location of each Heirloom Vendor. Again, they are all neutral, regardless of whether you are a Horde or Alliance player.
Beyond these two common uses, you can also exchange 375 Justice Points for 250 Honor Points, which can be redeemed for Honor gear pieces that provide additional stat boosts to your character, making them particularly useful in the mid-to-late game.
Furthermore, 600 Justice Points can be exchanged for Motes of Harmony, each ten can be crafted into a Spirit of Harmony, which can be redeemed for Golden Lotus Reputation Points, unlocking even greater rewards and benefits.
This concludes the current guide to farming and using Justice Points in WoW MoP Classic. Hopefully, both longtime fans of the expansion and new players drawn to the game for its exciting content will be able to earn more useful rewards from this primary currency and have the best possible gaming experience. Happy gaming!
