Blue Posts

Stealth bug
What happens: When you are in stealth, or get a re-stealth you will randomly drop stealth. If you have not encountered this issue on Legion or Live, consider your self very lucky.
We're fixing bugs like these daily. Let us know where exactly it's happening so we can reproduce it.

There was an invisible spell being cast within the arena start that was breaking rogues out of stealth, should be fixed now. Blame Holinka. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

RNG in PvP
I'm noticing a ton of dodging going on. It's frustrating as arms to pool up 3x Focused Rage and then just have your CS'd Mortal Strike passively dodged. Are we still planning on playing the whole RNG is okay in PvP game?
It's something we've talked about. Right now the PvP stats are set pretty high which means high dodge, parry etc. We'll likely set them to something that feels good sometime soon. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

PvP Talents
We plan to have a testing phase where we unlock all Honor talents on characters. Can't say when, but sometime soon. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Relics
You slot them into your artifact at the forge in your class hall.
You can do so anywhere, like you would gems. Just Shift-Right Click your artifact and drag the relic to the slot you want to fill. We'll look into a UI tutorial the first time you get a relic to make this clearer.

In general, you will have to go back to your forge to spend Artifact Power, but we would like for as many item rewards as possible to be usable immediately in the field. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Random Battlegrounds Queue Time
Battlegrounds simply require a lot of people to have queues pop consistently. Your average battleground requires 10-15 players on each faction and lasts 15 minutes. A skirmish requires 2-3 players from either faction and generally last 1-3 minutes.

When we transition to beta, we will be disabling skirmishes for a short time to focus our numbers on battlegrounds. We'll then re-enable arenas a few weeks later. But sorry, I can't share when that will be. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Blue Tweets

PvE
Snapped at 9:14a, only one I queued for. Again no satchel at conclusion. I'm done. #Warcraft #TheSatchelIsALie
Could you provide the character name that this happened on? I'd love to help track down this nagging issue. (WatcherDev)
Sure! I was on my shaman.
So, oddly enough, in this case it looks like you queued as Healer/DPS and were slotted as DPS. (WatcherDev)
We'll look into a better way to handle things in these cases. Meanwhile, queuing for just the satchel role should be reliable. (WatcherDev)

UI / Addons
Enjoy the new version of my poster By the way, I hate you.
Our tech artists send their thanks for the infographic. Stay tuned for an upcoming build! By the way, we love you. (WarcraftDevs)

Misc
RT I wonder what would happen if every player in WoW spent one hour a week helping another player out. #PlayitForward (holinka)

Overwatch - Competitive Play, New Skins, and More
A new Overwatch patch was released yesterday, adding new skins, ranked play, balance tweaks, and other updates.

I can't believe how first I am. Watched the video already, was interesting.

Second. and the ravencrest armor looks meh.

[Aeula]

The old Christmas set looked better.

[roninwookie]

oooo, those new xmas sets look good! I wonder if they are going to replace the current set or just have the option for both.

[Triggered Fridgekin]

Lord Ravencrest liked to wear foam apparently.

[Shudder]

I'm beginning to think there never was a parent concerned for their child. They remove a pose that is not in any way sexual and replaced it with something that is based off a sexual pin up. This was all just a PR stunt.

[Wries]

I see the "sexy" vinter veil armor got PC-ified.

[Darkeon]

Hum... real great job with the Lord Ravencrest Armor.. erm.. yeah..

Maybe it's a mental play towards us, players, that by showing off this really ugly and lazy armor, it makes the rest look decent and superior?

I just have to say, I REALLY love Flesh & Refresh. +1.

This armor was data mined when Legion was first announced (if not before). I don't know what the purpose posting this now just after the whole Tracer cencorship fiasco besides to get people riled up.

Btw, the new Tracer pose is awesome

[Kellorion]

ha it shows off her ass even better

It looks fine. I'm sorry it's not covered in neon lights and whatnot. Simple is better sometimes.

Damn knew it! Knew I had already seen those winter outfits. HAH! But I'm not surprised... seems every couple of weeks MMOC and wowhead throw up the same 'previews.' Starved for content, are we?

MMO-Champ posters (me included) are incredibly negative all the time. It's hard to force myself to read any discussions here anymore.

I honestly come to these websites just to get angry now. That's what it's come to.

They never said that was the problem. All they said was "We were going to redo that pose." and people being the geniuses they are were jumping all over their decision to "redo" it as censorship. He posted it in a thread where the topic was about it being too sexy, so maybe that's why people were confused, but Jeff never agreed that it was overly sexy. People just jump to false conclusions and start controversy over nothing without taking 5 seconds to do research in a day and age where research takes no effort to do.

We gotta keep those standards in the mud, I see!

[snackfeat]

That ravencrest armor is pretty bad. They are making tier sets with all new 3d parts, and then this set that literally looks like something from tbc quality wise. And they really need to stop using this wrestling belt model, it's horrible

It was added in Legion build 20914, back in mid January. I didn't get around to posting it then and am posting it now because I am catching up on things I never got around to posting.

Sorry, didn't mean to call you out or anything. It's just frustrating with some people on mmo-c that make a big deal about the "censoring" subject. This change just gives those people more "reason" to complain :P

[Super Kami Dende]

Ehh, New Tracer pose is actually much better than the original was. It also feels much more "her" as well, I really like it. Tracer is bae.

Nice Job Kaplan and team, I guess this finally puts a nail in the buttgate coffin.
