Blue Posts

Lack of CM Communication
What's wrong to post more information about the game, and be more open? I see there are many Blue post welcoming their new colleague... but none of them are talking and interacting with us.
It's worth keeping in mind that the forum is just one part of our responsibilities as CMs. This article (click on Community Manager / Editor) gives a good insight into our day to day.

In the interests of transparency I’d also like to briefly run through some of the other things we do, besides the forums. This will hopefully give you an idea of our rather varied workload:

• Creating/Localising/Publishing of content (Blogs, social media, etc.)
• Reviewing and forwarding feedback (from forums, social media, e-mails, fan sites, etc.)
• Interaction with players (through digital platforms as well as in person at events – Hellfest for example)
• Contests and Giveaways
• Planning and execution of events (Launch events, GamesCom, Road to BlizzCon, etc.)
• Supporting fan sites, bloggers, streamers, YouTubers, competition and event organisers (Fireside Gatherings, BarCrafts, etc.), pro gamers, cosplayers and other artists – basically all the people who are active in the community.

As you can see, it’s a very varied list of tasks but all of the tasks directly relate to the community as a whole. There’s never really a shortage of work that needs doing.

Although we are reading the forums every day to stay informed about trends, suggestions and feedback, please also keep in mind that the forums are primarily intended as a way for everyone to discuss the game amongst themselves.

Now that being said, I do intend to interact with you as frequently as I can. If you have any questions after reading this, please don't hesitate to ask. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Blue Tweets

content designers create quests, partially? noticed an opening for an associate is why I'm curious. I'd guess darkmoon too?
Spawning, quests, encounters, events holidays and otherwise. Yeah, that general range of things. (craig_amai)

(Normal Hellfire Citadel hotfixes)
itch if it doesnt stay easy and then progression is ruined for those that dont want a blow through on normal
The thing is, these changes won't make the actual intended audience "blow through" normal. If you crush Normal, do Heroic. (WatcherDev)

Blizzcon - Wil Wheaton
In case you missed it when it was originally posted, Wil Wheaton is hosting the Blizzcon contests this year!

He posted a blog post about getting ready recently and spent the day at Blizzard today.

People complain about the responses they get from Blizzard employees.
Blizz decides to be slightly more hush-hush and people complain still.
Blizzard just can't win.

Is it just me or does anyone else not like Wil Wheaton at all? Makes me a little happy I cant attend Blizzcon this year knowing he will be the host.
Poor choice for the host of Blizzcon IMO

[Somarlane]

The "someone" is Hamuu Gaming.

Meh I like him and usually the contests is one of the bigger reasons I purchase the VT so looking forward to it.

I don't mind him but I can very much see how he can rub people the wrong way

I like him in general. I'm curious, is there a particular reason or he just rubs you the wrong way? (Genuinely asking.)

[Zoldor]

Wish it was Hardwick again.

Blizzard just can't win.

It's not their job to "win against players", they are supposed to work with us for a better product.

Still doesn't help they are always yelled at (to forget if it's warranted or not).

Wil Wheaton? great, now i know wich parts i'll skip on blizzcon atleast.

[Eleccybubb]

Ok like the guy above posted what exactly are your issues with him?. Also on the whole Blizz can't win thing it doesn't help half the community treat em like dirt and give whiny responses that don't help with feedback whereas a lot do.

[MrPaladinGuy]

They got a nerd host, but the nerd host hasn't played the most popular MMO which is the reason for Blizzcon.

I guess it's good they at least got rid of that coked-up drunk Jay Mohr guy.

[Lochton]

Awesome to see! Wil Wheaton has a great character, and has done quite some stuff. At least going to be better than Jay Morr I hope.

I like him. I really enjoy his TableTop series on YouTube. I mentioned that he was going to be there to some friends of mine and they had the opposite reaction I did so I guess you aren't alone. I'm actually kinda excited because I get to go this year so I have a chance to meet him.

[Fawkess]

Cool love Will weaton
Its at least better than the buy we had last year

[Tenjen]

That video is rather well brought together

[Salech]

Hehe, Hearthstone hard to master? my niece who can't talk english is rank 10 and she's 9 years.

Just some of the general attitude ive witnessed from him. Ive seen him in person at many conventions I attend and he always "Im better than all of you attitude". Maybe that's just me though. Either way, that with the fact he just played hearthstone and just installed wow and still hasnt played it kinda seems like something you might wanna do long before you decide to host an event. I bought the virtual ticket and i plan on watching it, its just a poor host choice in my opinion. Still far better than Jay Mohr though.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Liked Wil ever since he had a role in The Guild!
