Do you think talents are a good place for gameplay styles that some people enjoy and some people don't? (Celestalon)

I'm gonna ask you a question anyway.Can hunters please tame rams? Something for my hunter to have along side his mount.
Usually we try to add models that have had uprezzes these days, maybe someday (Muffinus)
Good to know. When I caught a glimpse of the PvP Ram, my Dwarf-o-meter went off and I wanted to see more of that high-rez glory.
Yaks are close! And fuzzy. (Muffinus)

Character / Items
when will blizz fix the undead model and by model I mean scaling of gear (or how it looks on Undead vs other race). #SHOULDERSRSOSMALLSADFACE
are you seriously a player playing a warcraft game complaining that your shoulders are too small (Muffinus)
on Undead, yes! On everyone else, no! Plate gear on undead looks so "spread out" and not compact.
One of them definitely hangs off of the shoulder a bit, thanks for the feedback. (Muffinus)

will T18 set bonuses be adjusted once the Legion prepatch drops? Several modify talents that won't exist or will have moved
Yes. The set bonuses for Tier 18 will be adjusted. (WarcraftDevs)

PvP
What is AV/Wintergrasp lasted an hour or two? You'd talk with the peeps.
Ashran was a Good Experiment. Drove PvP forward, got feedback, glad we did it. (Muffinus)
And I'm not sure this is 100% true, I loved 48 hour AV (Muffinus)

The amount of honor per level increases every 10 levels. At the moment, going from 1-50 takes 50,000 honor. (1/2) (WarcraftDevs)
Leveling through the honor system is a point of emphasis for us right now, so we are open to feedback! (2/2) (WarcraftDevs)

Lore
Saw General Tiras'alan in the Paladin Class Hall during an alpha Stream. Think he died during the Theramore Bombing, no?
Sounds like we have an imposter in our midst... Thanks for the heads up! (WarcraftDevs)

Misc
or do the Devs want to make wow into a different game? What's the deal here?
Games evolve with time, the challenge is evolving with the userbase. (Muffinus)

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

The point of group content is to work together as a group. Excellent matchmaking works against that because it's so easy to bail. (OccupyGStreet)
As a player, sure it's easier if you don't have to communicate and just hit a button to find another group. (OccupyGStreet)
But is that healthy in the long run? Why have a multiplayer game if everyone plays it as a single-player game, you know? (OccupyGStreet)

Was there originally a plan for Crystalsong Forest in WOTLK? Seems to desolate...
I think it was Dalaran, which was in that zone, being too much of a resource hog. Was long ago - I may be misremembering. (OccupyGStreet)



Hearthstone - New Whispers of the Old Gods Cards
Three more of the Whispers of the Old Gods cards have been revealed, including Hogger!



Poll - Dalaran Pronunciation
Muffinus is asking the critical questions. How do you pronounce Dalaran?

    The tweeting guy CLEARLY said Undead, fucking grade A retard. Sweet jesus
    He was mostly making a joke? In the past players have largely made fun of WoW for having unnecessarily huge shoulder plates. The idea someone was saying they were too small in any circumstance most likely amused him.

    So apparently Blizzard is now promoting WoW by baking in a reward for another game that requires getting to level 20 in WoW, presumably to try and hook people into WoW...

    By having the carrot be in another game entirely, as a reward for playing WoW...

    When WoW used to be the big name, crowd drawing, primo property of Blizzard.

    I know Hearthstone is heavily influenced by WoW, and is Warcraft, and level 20 isn't hard, and Hearthstone is wildly successful, but that still strikes me as sort of pathetic.

    F off, GC. When we brought up those exact arguments back in Wrath, you led the charge calling us "elitists", "wildly overreacting", and other insults. Not once were those arguments treated with any respect/civility from blues, because they were so proud of their shiny new toy.

    Well, everything predicted about LFG/LFR happened, and now GC is trying frantically to revise history to pretend he had nothing to do with it. Sorry pal, but some of us still remember how you showed your ass back then.

    the one next to the gold sword is lothar's sword. not frostmourne.
    From left the right are King Llane's gold sword, Lothar's Black Dragon sword, and standard stormwind soldier sword?

    Mana cost indicator could use some improvement to visual clarity. It is hard to see.

    The sword on the right in the image you posted is the sword the royal guards carry.
    The typical Stormwind foot soldier carries a similar, but less intricate blade.



    The blade on the right of the table is the standard guard's sword, the one beside
    it with the hilt facing the other direction is the type from the picture you showed-
    that of the royal guard.

    You are the best!

    yeah it cant be frostmourne just from the fact that it was forged by demonic powers out of unknown metal as far i got the lore behind. but i must say at first glace lying there i was tricked to.

    That doesn't even remotely look like frostmourne. The only thing they have in common is both being bastard swords.

    Why so ? Its a normal Cross promotion and hurts no one and for those who have all the games anyway its free stuff.

    Do people really need to know how to pronounce Dalaran with the amount of time you have heard Ronin say "Citizens of Dalaran, raise you eyes to the sky..."

    LOL

    OMG! I am so with you on this, I use old BC and Vanilla Weapons... since all the new weapons are just INSANE in size... its just like Blizzard is run by "women" which focus just on size!!!

    Everyone knows... its not about the size... but how you use it!

    PS: Weapons Should be smaller in size... or maybe implement a way to make weapons bigger or smaller (blacksmithing),

    PSS: Immersion is everything in an MMO, so lets have shields and weapons that acctualy look like we could carry them in real life!

    No, GC has accepted responsibility for this mistake BUT you are right -- they did mock people who criticized them harshly.
