Arcade 2024 Season 2 Milestones

[Yugali]

The new milestones for Arcade 2024 Season 2 are finally in sight, and we've got some great rewards lined up as you level up your skills.

Here’s what you can aim for this season:

Swag Milestones:

• Standard Milestone: 15 Arcade Points
• Advanced Milestone: 30 Arcade Points
• Premium Milestone: 45 Arcade Points
• Premium+ Milestone: 65 Arcade Points

 The Milestone Rules are the same as Season 1, but here's a quick roundup for you:

1. Unlock More, Get More: No matter which milestone you unlock, your efforts will be rewarded! For instance, with 16 Arcade Points, you’ll grab the Standard Milestone swags. Rack up 37 Arcade Points? You’ll unlock the Advanced Milestone swags.
2. No Stress, Just Play: Forget about points budgeting—focus on having fun and improving your skills.
3. Bigger Milestones, Bigger Rewards: Each milestone brings a new set of swag, so the more you achieve, the more you collect.
4. No Point Limits: The sky's the limit! The more points you earn, the more skills you build.

Now that you know the milestones, how far can you go? We’re excited to see you push your limits this season!

See you in the Cloud!

Hello @Yugali

I'm taking part in Arcade August 2024 session.

Yesterday I did 8 labs. And today after I did just 5 labs, I'm getting an error message that the daily maximum lab limit of 10 has been reached.

In Arcade progress reports, it was mentioned that we would have "The 15 lab limit per day per user!"

This is seriously impacting the number of Arcade Labs, Games and Skill badges I can complete for Arcade August 2024.

Can anything be done about this issue?

[sussyBoka]

When this season ends?

The reason for not receiving the mail is that you might have not subscribe to Arcade or the prize counter mail is in you Promotional or Spam folder of your mail or you have not earned minimum 10 points.

Swags of Season 2 are yet to be reveal so we don't have any exact answer to this. But for points and milestone system of this season you can refer to the attached post.

Now there is limits and the stress factors comes in will we be able to complete all 44 skill badges?

[ItsmeSouvik]

You had a total duration of 2 months (22nd July - 27th Sept) to achieve these milestone(s). If you hadn't yet solved any Skill Badges, then YES its really a stress for you to reach the Ultimate Milestone. But don't lose hope, start completing the Skill Badges as well as Game & Trivia Badges, hope so achieve at least Milestone 3.

[dryice]

What will happen to the remaining points, if any? For example, if I have 51 points, and I claim the premium milestone swags of 45 points, what will happen to the remaining 6 points?

[Abhishek213]

Wasted

[Riya2401]

Till when can we do skill badges to earn points? Do we have to complete milestones within the deadline of sept 27? Or can we do badges till dec please clarify

[Babar_Ali]

You can do as many skills badges & each Month's specific Arcade badges as you can before the opening of Dec 2024 Prize Counter 😀 

[yashgoyal365]

For completing the Facilitator Milestone you have to complete that particular number of Skill Badge before Sept 27 and for more points you can do more skill badge till dec as well. For Milestone and Point System of Facilitator and Normal Arcade you can refer to attached post as well.

I don't know why they bothered with this season's Arcade.

Due to issues in GCP, monsoon challenge was cancelled. Instead of that we did CDL courses, whose points are not being tracked in Progress Reports. The progress reports started being sent on email after half of the Arcade season got completed.

Lab limits were arbitrarily imposed on Arcade participants due to issues and poor Security in GCP. After much complaints, the lab limits got increased to 15 due to complaints. Then out of the blue, the lab limits were brought down to 10 without any prior intimation.

Various labs have issues due to which the labs have to be restarted which counts towards the lab limit. And even after completing 5-6 labs, the lab limits get imposed.

[BelalSaeid]

How to know how many points I have? Will we have arcade insider mail?

[Souvikk01]

Yes, in the Arcade Insider Mail you'll be updated about the arcade points you've collected till that time. It may be received from the month of October.

[Abhishek213]

Yes we will have

[BelalSaeid]

to make sure. there haven't been any arcade insider mails sent this season thus far, correct? cause I only received arcade facilitator mails but none of arcade insider mail this season.

[Souvikk01]

Yes you're correct. No arcade insider mail have been received till now, as the Facilitator Programme already provides you a 2 months subscription to complete Skill Badges.

[lrov]

I'm a Student and I suppose have 8 arcade points so for Milestone 1 which is (8+2 bonus) would I get the swags?

[Souvikk01]

Hi Irov... Here's a brief info about the arcade 2024 season-2 milestones for swags :

• Standard Milestone: 15 Arcade Points
• Advanced Milestone: 30 Arcade Points
• Premium Milestone: 45 Arcade Points
• Premium+ Milestone: 65 Arcade Points

So, you need to collect at least 15 points to be eligible for the swags.

[Nandhagopan]

@Yugali I didn't received the arcade swags yet. What will I do ?

[yashgoyal365]

Which swags you are talking about can you please elaborate?

[Nandhagopan]

premium swags milestone of arcade challenge

[Abhishek213]

[hanisntsolo]

Hawan! (Maha yagya) Mahabharata

[sumnsmnt]

How to access the game? It is asking for an access code! How and fro where can I get an access code?

[yashgoyal365]

On Arcade page itself the Access code is written with the Badge Link.

[dilankadilshan]

What happen if the participant has over 110 points ?

[hanisntsolo]

Welcome to the club you can only redeem ultimate swags!

[yashgoyal365]

You might get the vouchers for GCDL exam and if any new milestone is there then according to that claim your swags apart from Premium+ Swags only.

[Asucloud_23]

[GIRIRAJAN]
