World Of Warcraft

Thats floundering too.

And so, the epic journey of Professor Heatsink ends...but it only continues.

• OHMYGODOHMYGAWD, IT'S KHADGAR! Don't squee on him, don't squee on him, you're a professor! Maybe he'll sign an autograph, ohmygawd that'll be the best and...ORCS?! Orcs always ruin EVERYTHING.
• Khadgar, with a little, tiny itsy-bitsy bit of help from Prof. Heatsink discovered that the Dark Portal now goes to a perpendicular-universe version of Outland called Draenor, a world unspoiled by Gul'dan and his fel-orc Horde! When they arrived, Garrosh had already spoiled it with his tech-orc Horde. GARROSH AND HIS DAMN ORCS...
• Professor Heatsink was the first person to go through the Dark Portal. After Thrall, Maraad, and Khadgar. And Lady Liadrin, Olin Umberhide, Thaelin Darkanvil, Hansel Heavyhands, Cordana Felsong, Qiana Moonshadow...there might be a few dozen/hundred others.

Actiblizzard has a truly remarkable number of top franchises, including Call of Duty, a best-selling FPS; World of Warcraft, the MMO; Diablo III, the action RPG; Starcraft II, the RTS, and about to release its third entry; Hearthstone, a mega-hit CCG, etc...

I don't know the stats on Heroes of the Storm.

But yeah, this is all the sign of a dying company. Just you wait, the haters'll be right some day.

I can't even finish Diablo. It is so boring.

Anyways. Flying this week?

That's fine; I can't even begin to get into MOBA style games, so Heroes of the Storm holds no interest for me. There's no rule saying you have to like every one of Blizzard's games. The latest changes to D3 are very good, though — it's this close to being perfect.

Yes, flying should release tomorrow.

Awwww yis first thing I am gunna do with my flying is

uhm

prolly nothing

Official 6.2.2 Patch Notes. Nothing we didn't already know.

Huh. So they DID go ahead and buff the Horde racials...

I do like the Mercenary bit. That's something that might have been put in the game quite a while ago, as it is going to fix a lot of problems with PVP for some people, but at least it's here now, so well done Blizzard.

Not nearly enough to balance out the absolute O Pness of the Human racial.

I am not thinking about the racial in its Pv P ambient, but rather, its PvE one.

I've heard that heroes is the fourth most popular MOBA on Twitch after Lo L, Dot A 2 and Smite.

I just launched the new Destroyer "Mrgrggrgk Mark III"

Yes, it is crewed by Murlocs

A Warship full of Murlocs. This is either terrifying or hilarious.

More than anything, it is very useful.

my pandaren has the MRGLGLGL mark 2.

which is a submarine crewed by murlocs.

It is my second favorite ship. My favorite is my gnome warlock's submarine named the Gnomercy

But they don't let us baptise them at launch (a window should come up suggesting a default name as we click at the shipyard). I have to go to the table to rename my battleship "Kongou-nee-sama", my carrier "Akagi-sempai", and my submarine "The Naughty Lass", which sailors will tell you is bad luck.

My Battleships usually end up named "Lack of Gravitas" or "Not much Gravitas" and the like

Or I'm calling them after Guildies when its 1 am and we are all silly.

I mean, my flagship used to be named after out guild leader (belf priests) bosom before it sank.

Which of course led to the guild message "Ferelia's Boobs just sank!"

It's just sagging a little.

I stopped caring after my best destroyer sank on a 88% success mission.

I'm still hoping for the other 2 Heirloom rings yet

I lost a whole set of ships on a mission once.

Ships are terribly expendable and frankly I don't even bother with Exp missions, if a ship makes it to epic, it's a miracle.

The moose looks cooler than the shoveltusker.

There was a Legion panel at Dragoncon and they handed out some pretty interesting details. Remember, this is still early on, so things might change.

These are the big ones. check the article for more.

• Demon Hunters currently planned to start at 98.
• Demon Hunters can use 1H Swords, in addition to Glaives.
• Demon Hunter Metamorphosis is a short transformation with inner demon visuals, not continuous form.
• Multistrike is gone, other secondary/tertiary stats are changed.
• Profession updates - very little or no cooldown gated profession materials for crafting.
• Stage Upgrades work differently - destroy old item, get Obliterium material to create better item.
• Transmog system in Legion is similar to Diablo and possibly account-wide.
• No extra Void Storage tab planned—transmog system should help with bag space.
• Classes in Legion emphasize fantasy of specs and some are even getting renamed.
• Survival Hunters, who are melee in Legion, get Harpoon ability to draw mobs towards them.
• Adventure Mode may be coming to Legion - no details, but something that may be discussed at Blizz Con.
• A previous tweet stated no major glyphs, but was clarified to say there were simply no new major glyphs.

Boomkins will be receiving a higher-res model come Legion.

All those mechanics... eh. Better Moonkin model... hooray! /sarcasm. Except not, because my main is a Boomkin.

Aw, I rather liked Multistrike.
