Warcraft Movie Update
The Hollywood Reporter talked about Legendary and Universal today, claiming that sources say Warcraft is seen as "problem movies" by Universal. Duncan Jones isn't worried though!

Muffinus confirmed that I Found Pepe! is still not active with Patch 6.2.2. We may get one other costume with A Frightening Friend next month, as it is a Hallow's End achievement.



Draenor Dungeons Bonus Event September 16 – 21

Make sure to pick up the event-only quest Emissary of War in your Garrison before you head out. It rewards an Iron Fleet Treasure Chest (containing one Hellfire Citadel Heroic quality item) that you won’t want to pass up.

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

I still don't know. (OccupyGStreet)
If you put a gun to my head I'd say LFG with harder dungeons and no LFR. But it's a crap shoot. (OccupyGStreet)
Easyish Naxx and LK dungeons set expectations that were hard to ever undo. Maybe LFG was just a symptom at that point. (OccupyGStreet)
is the irrevocability of a feature a big part of the design decision or is it more if a hindsight is 20/20 thing?
For a live game (like LoL/WoW) you always have to think about the precedents you set. It's like being a SCOTUS judge. (OccupyGStreet)
I wasn't paying attention during the Cata difficulty outrage--would it have been possible to soldier through?
Yes. Better would have been to provide an alternative for those who didn't enjoy wiping. (OccupyGStreet)

Why do you think many players are longing for TBC days. Raiding was impossible back then..
I wouldn't call it nostalgia per se, but we remember the feeling we had when everything felt so new and we miss that feeling. (OccupyGStreet)

Game Design
Thoughts on allowing (or not) respec in single player RPGs? Respec kinda waters down character building... (1/2)
It depends if you want starting a new character to be a good or bad thing. No respec can encourage that. (OccupyGStreet)

Misc
greg i really just want you to stop answering questions about world of warcraft and focus on your new better life, forever
I try to answer questions that are applicable to game development as a whole. (OccupyGStreet)

    Blizzard would have to pay me for riding that mount. I get more and more sad every time I see how much F2P crap has been added into a FULLY pay to play model. Just disgusting.

    I find it funny that people would come here and lie in a poll about wanting to watch the warcraft movie.
    I dont believe a single person with a MMO-account would not watch the warcraft movie. Even if you convinced yourself to hate wow, you are still going to watch the movie about warcraft.

    edit: Played WoW for 10 years but I won't watch the movie.
    Yes you will.

    And before you say no, then yes.

    You will watch this movie. Lying about it is fine. But we both know you will watch this movie

    Then you will see it when tis free. Most likely at a friends house or whatever. You can convince yourself to hate wow and all things assoicated with it. But it would be folly to try and convince me that after 20 years you are to cheap to pay for a movie ticket for one of the years biggest fantasy movies.
    Even though i dislike what happened with star wars, and i've never cared much for Star Trek i'm still watching everything related to it in the movie-theatre. Because the genre interests me.

    Edit:
    The people who say no to polls like that are the butthurt ones. The ones who constantly cry about content. The ones with the rose-tinted glasses. But interestingly also the ones who sit up for 4 days straight after a new expansion hits.

    Lol, yeah I'm sure guys at the Hollywood Reporter have no idea when it comes to movies. Silly.

    As I said before, the only way I'd watch this orc-flavored turd is if RiffTrax does it.

    I think you have the wrong impression of what they mean by problem-movie.

    So, you are wrong. As wrong as Holinka calling Ashran a huge success.
    He didnt call it a success, get ur facts straight.

    That poster with the orc gives me some serious D&D vibes of camp. Not sure if the average movie goer sees this and doesn't go "lol".
