Character Name Release Requests
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker)
We often receive requests from players to free up a character name. Customer Support will no longer assist with releasing names. Instead, names will automatically become available if the account that holds the name has remained inactive for the past two expansions.

For example, if an account has been inactive since before the Cataclysm expansion, all names on that account will be made available when the Warlords of Draenor expansion launches.

If you are an active player, there is no need to worry that your character names will be changed, even if you have been playing other characters for a while.

We’ll be looking at the XP that leveling players receive from Timewalking; we agree it could be more rewarding. (WarcraftDevs)

Achievements
Tune-o-Tron micro in the toy box says it needs "More Hit Tunes" achieve but there is no achieve called that
The portable audiophone was accidentally added twice; there is a duplicate entry with an older name and it's fixed in 6.2.1. (WarcraftDevs)

PvP
Remove the Ancient Artifact. It ruins Ashran, especially when it's small scale.
We are going to prevent it from spawning when populations are low. (holinka)
You're completely missing the point. Populations are ALWAYS LOW, and AA is guaranteed "I win" now
What region are you in and what time do you play? We see low populations at off-peak times but not always. (holinka)

Warcraft Movie Teaser Images
More still shots someone took of the Warcraft Movie teaser showed up recently.



Wildstar - Combat Stat Revamp
Wildstar is getting their own stat revamp. Several stats are being removed and more are being added and revamped.

    Someone didn't understand what was written. I mentioned the 3 months because they is normally the deadline AFTER an account goes inactive, where you could request a name unlocked. Content has nothing to do with the names or GM's. And sorry, account inactive + three months, then it is fair game really to people who can use them.

    Currently, fair and permitted, I've had 6 names unlocked from inactive users - nothing wrong with that.

    That's a bummer on the name changing. It wasn't based on accounts being inactive, it was based on that particular character being inactive. So someone could have the name you want, play other characters and that name never is seen on your server. Blizzard will never release it now because someone is playing their account? This is a cutback in customer service - perhaps there is a happy medium and they could charge money IF the character has been inactive, just as they do with other character services?

    Blizzard, please consider. This new policy seems a bit harsh.

    Wait so I am confused, Lets say we stop playing like for about a year and come back. We have a chance of our name being taken? If so thats bloody stupid, I mean a lot of people quit and come back if thats a huge IF content is good again. Who the hell would want to come back with their name that they have used for 5+ years taken because some asshole wanted to steal it from you just for the hell of it.

    Blizzard that sounds to me that you guys are firing people and wanting to make everything auto so cost becomes lower. Yet you make billions a year. Blizzard you are going to fall on your face soon. BTW Elder Scrolls is damn amazing compared to Wow these days.

    No, you need to have not logged in for two entire expansions, so that's more like 4 years offline, not 1, before your name is at risk.

    I like the name change. I had someone jack a name holder from me (I didn't notice it for like 6 months) and then put in a ticket and got my name back. It was funny getting whispers from active raiders and shit haha. I'm not active on that server, so it's still rather funny.

    Best guess would be very, VERY few.

    Last time I leveled I skipped all of Talador and got 100 half way through Spires of Arak which reduces the amount of resources that I can get unless i waste time and do every quest which is a little redundant if you are trying to get 100 fast.

    Add on top of that trying to lvl up followers while you are leveling.
    This so much, especially considering you need a lv3 Garrison to start Tanaan. Every time I had considered leveling one of my alts to 100 I got discouraged because of all the stuff you need to do to get up and running, but I made myself do it recently on my Druid. Ugh, not doing that again this xpack. All I do is log in to collect GR because it's such a drag to even think about that character I can't bring myself to farm rares at 10-15GR a pop when I know I'm going to need like 20k all told. All my followers are level 90-93. My buildings are all level 1. Maybe these changes will make it tolerable.

    Probably because they want the GMs to fokus on acutal game issues and cutting the queues.

    OMG the corpse sliding bug was so creepy.

    Can't forget the ship dumping you in the middle of the sea either. And no connected flight paths was fun.

    If resource gathering during faster levelling is the issue, why not add the lumber mill to alt garrisons? You could supplement resource collection by snagging trees in whatever zone you happen to be in.
