When will the remaining swags will be shown and how much points required for Ultimate Milestone? Can anyone explain?

[1Mike]

Hello, first of all, they still didn't say what the remaining swag was and for this in the last Milestone, according to Arcarde's page, you should have about 65 points, if you have more, much better and if you don't know how many points you have or want to see your points, I recommend this one. page

I just want that plz extend the date of google cloud arcade facilator program cohort (july-dec) because we faced some more issue in the labs. The 10 labs are only provide by google cloud arcade but how we complete too much labs when I complete the 10 labs then show me lab limits regarding of labs limits and increase the deadline of facilator program.

It's my humble request to google cloud community.

Thank you @googlecloud arcade 🙌

@Yugalima'am, @Abhishek213 , @janusz_szpilews , @yashgoyal365  I have a question about a facilitator program. Since the program has closed, if we have to complete the October labs, which terms will they count towards? Common arcade or facilitator program. And how will the points be calculated then?

[janusz_szpilews]

See the Arcade game as the main quest and the Facilitator program as a side quest. After completing the side quest, you are back in the main game.

[yashgoyal365]

Normal Arcade program. Don't confuse facilitator is a part of Normal Arcade and it gives you only bonus points.

Mam i want to ask like i didn't take part in recent one facilator program but I'm doing now the arcade program and now I want to increase my points so I'm thinking to complete skill badge so if I now do the labs of skill badge should they be counted in this arcade program points or not like facilator program part should be necessary to count this skill badge or random doing the labs also got counted

[yashgoyal365]

All the skill badges will be counted towards Arcade Points.
Point system for SB is for every 2 SB you will get 1 Arcade Point.
