BlizzCon 2014 Hearthstone Groups Announced
Brawl with the Blues on Oct 30th
Warlords of Draenor - Vicious War Ram
Today we are taking a look at the
Vicious War Ram. This is the new Alliance PvP mount in Patch 6.0.2, sold by
Necrolord Sipe for
Vicious Saddle. If you don't already have a saddle, you can get one from the
Primal Combatant achievement when Warlords of Draenor launches.
Group Finder Listing Cap Increased
One of the bigger complaints about the group finder was the cap of 25 groups visible at once. This was increased in a hotfix to 100 groups. Right now that still won't cover the ~150-200 groups listed during the evening, but you can refresh the list or search to narrow down the results.
Free Game Time Promotion
If you are thinking about coming back for Warlords of Draenor, a free week of game time went out today. It appears to work for many players (but not all) right now, even adding a week of game time to active accounts.
EU players may need to try twice or look under the Referrals & Rewards section in their WoW account in account management.

It's not something we can hotfix or get changes into a patch that would release before this year's holiday is over, but in the future, guard rage will be significantly reduced, and it will no longer flag you for PvP when entering the area.

Brown Orc Skin
We do think offering some other skin options is a pretty cool idea (Dark Iron dwarves? Brown orcs?) but our priority is still the updates to the features that already exist--the blood elf update is in-progress--as well as prioritizing some tasks based on feedback to all the model updates that went out in 6.0.2.

You should be able to just use the orb no matter what. Inability to do as a ghost is a bug that's being fixed. (

PvP
when forming pvp group finder cannot que while still looking. Bug or working as intended?
This is intended. (

hmm sad face. I spent 20 minutes with a terribad today without the ability to find a replacement.
Perhaps something we'll consider in the future but didn't want people joining groups but looking for another one. (

does the trinket bonus even do anything for you anymore? resilience is out of the game right?
We just aren't putting it on new gear (
holinka)
so getting it right now is worth it? the res still works?
Yes (

Reputation / Questing
Why do Alliance players have to flag for pvp and face level ?? guards to do the wickerman quest?
Because it is a PvP quest. Horde players have one as well. (
_DonAdams)
Horde players don't have to flag because the Alliance wickerman is outside the city. Going in ruins of lordaeron forces flag.
Hm... that's an oversight. On a PvP realm you're flagged either way. Sadly, I don't see a fix for PvE realms this year. (

With the recent release of Patch 6.0.2, players who logged in to claim their Horde chopper between July 24, 2014 through September 30, 2014 can now get on their bike and ride. The Warlord's Deathwheel can be found within the Mounts tab(Shift-P in collections) and can be ridden by Horde characters with the appropriate riding skill.
