Blizzard Trademarks "Compete"
Blizzard appears to have trademarked "Compete" in the US and some EU countries. The description makes it clear that it isn't related to the WoW Expansion we are all waiting for, but instead an esports tool.



Overwatch Added to the Launcher
Overwatch was added to the launcher today. You can't actually install it, so it is just an advertisement for now.



Patch 6.2.1 PTR - Build 20363
Tonight's PTR build fixed a few things for mercenary mode and has been flagged as Release. We also learned that Patch 6.2.2 is coming in the future, so flying may be on the way soon!

  • Dia Darkwhisper's Mark of the Necromancer now deals 20% less damage. Additionally, applications of Mark of the Necromancer can no longer be delayed.

Since you were able to say all of those things without being assassinated, it can't be any of those things.

I can never promise things will be perfect, but I can promise that much, much learning has happened. (Muffinus)
Please say you guys learned HARD from WoD?
I don't think it would be possible not to. (Muffinus)
What would you say are the main things that went wrong in WoD?
As a player, not a dev: I wanted less chores, more world content, more MMO content, more inexhaustible content. (Muffinus)

Look at MoP, no one asked for that and MoP was amazing, wasnt a big fan on the asian influences but yeah
MOP is a curious case, solid staying power through patches, dislike during it, love after it, much to reflect (Muffinus)

    Don't think that one turned out to be real. Usually if it's real then MMO-Champ would put it on their front page.

    Trademarks for generic words should be banned, these are so low...

    Perhaps we're getting Flight next week after all.

    Doubtful. Mercenary Mode has numerous bugs (i.e. you can't use opposite faction mounts with Mercenary Mode) that still have to be fixed.

    No one registered anything related to Glades or Prophet in France, where Blizzard EU is headquartered, and where they registered all their trademarks. While they can use the trick of having someone else register, then transfer the trademark once they reveal it, it's doubtful they'd take the risk of someone sniping them the trademark one day before the announce.

    they're not trademarking the word, they're trademarking an online esports platform that happens to be called compete, you could still make a breakfast cereal and call it compete if you wanted to

    Well, I for one distinctly remember thinking during the ToT patch: "this is perfect, my class feels perfect, I dread what Blizz might plan for the next xpac as change just for the sake of it."
    Wasn't fond of the 4+ faction dailies right at the start and the 14 months SoO at the end, but other than that: favourite xpac after WotLK.

    Should Blizzard introduce retro servers at one point in time I'd probably play on a WotLK and MoP one.

    "Flying comes in 6.2.X" Next release is 6.2.1 with Mercenary Mode which was announced nearly a month after the flight annoucement. Right it really was going to be a "couple of weeks" before flight was implemented. Pull the other one Blizz.

    Indeed... my only fear is that Blizzard's world content is....dailies.
