Warcraft Movie Rewards
A user on Reddit shared a survey that went out about the Warcraft movie. It mentioned a potential offer that would reward anyone who purchased a ticket with a copy of all expansions through Warlords of Draenor, one month of game time, and an in-game item. What kind of item would you like to receive?
Legion - Hippogryph Mount
Another two colors of the Hippogryph are being added in Legion.
Helmets Temporarily Hidden In Legion Alpha

Hello everyone! We wanted to give you a quick heads-up on a temporary change in the current Alpha build that could use a little extra context, to avoid confusion.
Our art team is currently working on some updates to the way helmets are shown in the game, which will ultimately make them look a lot nicer on the high-definition models released with Warlords of Draenor. That work is still in progress, and as a result, head-slot items are in varying stages of work-in-progress. In order to keep things looking sensible – and avoid generating a whole lot of unnecessary bug reports – we’ve hidden that slot from displaying on all characters temporarily while our artists put their finishing touches on things.
Thanks for your patience!

I like knowing she has on armor that may actually protect her from the battle she's digging herself into. She's a strong character (to me) no matter what she wears. I'd think if I were her, I'd want a change of outfit now and then too.
Characters evolve and change. Their armor and outfits are going to change. Thrall is just one example of how what he wore was a reflection of the changes he went through. Other characters are bound to see evolutions and changes as they make sense both in their visual representation and in their stories.
These types of discussions while generally welcome when kept clean, are often just minefields for some inappropriate discussions. I'd like to please caution everyone to not get into the quagmire that results in personal attacks or mud slinging. Art is subjective and what one person interprets something to mean or be may not be what someone else interprets something to be. What one person likes, may not be what someone else likes. That's OK. Just remember that there's no place here for venom toward anyone for those likes or dislikes.
Can't help but think that the change was made from the pressure I mean you've tried to make it official in hots and ended badly when people complained about it on the forums now you do it instantly without showing preview or anything
I think people have a stilted point of view on what they see as "pressure". Things change. Times change. The balance between male and female players in WoW is actually much closer than you think and has been for a long while. The topic of what women like or don't like, or play, or have done in the past isn't cut and dry either. I've been playing games (and liking "geek" things) since I first played the Atari as a little girl. I like PvP and blowing things up. Other women may not. Some women like their character to look 'practical'. Others have a different 'fantasy' of what their character should be like. I would never claim to represent "all women" that would be preposterous.
The same can be said for men. You can't paint everyone with the same brush. It just doesn't work. This is a more complex issue than what should be on these forums. We're getting into dangerous territory here and I've already had to remove some pretty disparaging remarks aimed at others. This community is smarter than that.
Perceptions of what is and isn't over the years have always baffled me. It seems to go in waves. Each new generation believes fervently that it is or was different for them or has changed 'over the years'. Perception is an amazing thing. It's your perception that this and all other related changes are because of 'x'. Could that be a part of it? Sure. Nothing is being taken away from you or the character with this change. If this was an awards show, you'd be asking her who she's wearing rather than, what she plans to do when she faces the Legion with her people. I have a feeling she plans to lay some smack down.
*I'd like to advise people not to give 'parenting advice' here for Mr. Metzen or anyone else. Again, this isn't appropriate. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Returning Player
Welcome back! I'm sure you just ran into the types that assume you must/have to know it all already. It makes returning a bit rough at first when you run into them first out of the gate. I have no doubt you'll get back in the swing of things quickly and find some people (starting here maybe?) who would be happy to help you get up to speed.
That's a good generic dev post for a game where the community is more toxic than ever. I don't have suggestions to make it better, but the community is bad.
I disagree with the statement of "more toxic than ever" but I don't want this thread to turn into that. There are some really great people in the community, many of whom (as I mentioned in my post) would love to help a returning player out. You just have to be open to it and not let the 'bad apples' spoil the whole barrel for you. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Ghostcrawler still occasionally talks about WoW. Remember that he no longer works for or speaks for Blizzard.

The features you're talking about were implemented to give players an option to run content besides just sitting around spamming chat when their friends weren't online. I have always had a huge guild in WoW, and I still remember spamming chat for groups -- and I was a tank!
Cross-realm was more targeted and solving the problem of realm population disparity. The concept of a realm has been pretty integral to the game for a long time. It was important to get to know the folks on your realm. That changed for a lot of reasons -- realm transfers, leveling becoming more easily, and the age of the game just to name a few.
Final Boss - Restoration Druid Spec Preview
Final Boss is back with another spec preview! You can see all of their weapon models here.
I'm honestly surprised by the amounts of idiots that fill this world, and how easily they get offended.
Why the fuck are people here surprised and/or offended by Blizz trying to get more subs using the film?
Why is there even a discussion about Sylvanas getting an armor instead of a bikini?
Maybe they did it cause the wanted to. Maybe they did it because someone told them if was offensive. Who the fuck cares, it's an armor on a character in fantasy game, it fits the theme.
If you guys desperately wants to see armorkini there are tons of fan service animes, movies and game out there.
Interesting approach. I imagine this would have attracted more subs when the game wasn't over 10 years old and the community still had some hopeful enthusiasm.
Off course they are trying to boost sales. Blizzard is a large company, and all companies have to make money to keep their employees and expand. If I was in charge of marketing at Blizzard, I would probably do the same thing too.
Anyhow, I'm gonna see the movie, so getting a pet/mount/toy or an achievement along with my ticket is music in my ears.
1 - make WOD so bad subs drop from 10M to 6M
2 - have content drought so subs drop to 1M
3 - release $100 m budget movie
4 - give away 1 months sub with movie
5 - watch subs skyrocket to 10M
6 - provide report to board showing correlation
7 - get funding for sequel 200M movie
I wish they would redo the major female lore character models all together. It's hard to take them seriously with their t & a hanging out. Covering her mid section doesn't change the fact that her breasts are hilariously large and part like the red sea when she breathes.
People who have an issue with the female models in WoW but do not say a word about the male models are completely ignored by me. It is a hipster, generic and lazy Social Justice Warrior stunt.
"Look at me! Changing the world. I do not like what most people consider sexy so I demand anything that looks like it, CHANGE!"
Of course these armies of world changers can never seem to get off their butts to design their own games with these models. Like most of their ilk, they want OTHER people to do it for them.

Totally agree with you on this..
It makes one wonder about some people, how they are so utterly idiotic it makes you wonder sometimes it really does..

I completely agree.
Am I not the only person who thinks this is the smart thing to do, and as a business/businessman I would do the exact same thing, I mean you've spent years on a film based of a your game, people from all over will come to watch it. now they've just watched this amazing film and want more and have been gifted the game? what do you think they go do immediately after, you go install the game and try it out and at no loss to yourself as this was included in the film, smarten up people if anything this may temporarily bring a bit of life back to wow.
Well I'd do it, but if I could just buy the ticket, get the code for the items without seeing the movie I would. Would rather not have to waste gas and time that could be better spent watching that mess.
I will LMAO if this scheme backfires spectacularly and Blizzard ends up with tons of tickets sold but empty theatres and it hits the news that people can't be bored to watch it even after paying for it.
It'll certainly help boost movie sales, but it's pretty obvious that the goal is to get more people to play the game. People might go see the movie once or twoce. But you get them wanting to play Wow, that's more cash in the bank.
