Legion Companion App Update
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Version 1.0.2 of the Legion Companion App is now available:

iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/app/wow-leg...n/id1125608061
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...d.wowcompanion

What's New in Version 1.0.2
  • Artifact XP world quests now show a single icon on the map.
  • Fix for occasional error while collecting the first ready troop.
  • Champions below level 110 now show level instead of iLevel on the mission results panel.
  • Times now display the top 2 units in most places (e.g. hours and minutes instead of just hours)
  • Fixed issue where a previously-collected troop would appear to be ready for pickup.

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

Raids were epic in part because they were difficult and required a lot of coordination. You couldn't just round up mobs and AE them down, which worked for a lot of dungeons and quests. If there was a boss mechanic to get out of the fire, you had to get out of the fire, not assume that Circle of Healing would take care of it. And when you finally beat a boss after hours of days of attempts, it felt great, and everyone cheered in Vent.

I think there is room for a more casual raiding mode that preserves some of that experience. I don't think Raid Finder (at least circa MoP, which is that time I tried it) delivers on that experience. (Source)

    There's definitely something going on at Blizzard with so many people leaving at the same time, I dont think it's a "people want to do different things" anymore.

    Yeah i dont see how anyone can justify their belief that people just need to move on. It goes to show most people have no concept of what a career is. There is definitely something going down.

    Can the Brewfest trinkets titanforge or are they just 810?
  1. Ceck1993's Avatar
    So is that Metzen statue actually being made? or is just a photo for his pleasure?

    With all the people leaving Blizzard its certainly is scary.

    I'm beginning to wonder if the next expansion is going to be the last one, and those who aren't on that team and not transferring to one of the other IPs are moving on.

    My conspiracy theory is, since the colossal failure of WoD Activision took on the reigns and enforced Blizzard to produce something with the original core lore of Warcraft, hence the Legion. And if Legion keeps going this succesfully, it is very likely that the pressure and control over the production team shall remain and will be permanent. And natutrally, creative people always run away from stress and pressure and always go where the freedom and inspiration is.

    Sinking ship. They're leaving quick.

    WoD ppl are getting fired :P

    the sells for legion must be beyond terrible if activision is firing so much staff inlucding all top heads - good maybe now the game will be better without them.
  1. mmocfd0f55852f's Avatar
    The way I look at is that Legion was the last ditch effort by Blizzard which would either make or break the future of WoW. The pressure was immense, the failure from WoD fresh in the mind. I think now that it has been released, the employees will realize they have given it what they have and want something else. After working immense hours on such a project, I'd be a bit burned out too.

    They delivered, and I wish them all the best.

    #1 Activision doesn't control Blizzard. They are just another parent company among the many other parent companies Blizzard has had since like a year after it was formed. Most big companies are owned by another.

    #2 They didn't get fired, they are leaving.

    Opportunity for younger and brighter developers tbh, these guys leaving is not a bad sign... Legion has been a huge success.

    I need to send in an application to Blizzard. So many new vacancies!

    Blizzard did not loose anything in Tyson Murphy changing sides to Riot. Because Riot is none better than EA games.

    At the start of every expansion there has always been people leaving. Prob because they were burnt out trying to put it out and now they got a short break of constant deadlines and rushing.

    The World-Quest Welfare Epics are not enough? Does everything have to give 850 TF gear?
