Greymane Not Coming This Week, Epic Plays 58 Christmas SpecialArmory Stats - Winter Veil Gifts
As we wait for Greatfather Winter to arrive, we are going to look back and see how many current players have the older gifts. For this data, we defined active as players that have logged in since November 1, 2015. All includes all of the players in our database, no matter when they last logged in. While we were gathering data, we noticed that only 114,022 players have all 8 years of gifts!
Unfortunately, we can no longer tell when a player actually got their gift achievement, as Blizzard removed the Feat of Strength achievement timestamps from the API (but left them on armory and in game).

For players that don't get the Grove Warden, there is still hope for a moose mount. Legion adds a new moose mount model, but there is no spell, item, or source yet, so we can't be sure if you will be able to obtain this mount.

Legion adds a new hippogryph mount that goes nicely with Brightpaw and the Mystic Runesaber mount. There is no spell, item, or source yet, so we can't be sure if you will be able to obtain this mount.
Legion - Fel Core Hound Mount
The only existing Core Hound mount was a reward from the WoW 10th Anniversary celebration, but Legion adds a new Fel Core Hound. There is no spell, item, or source yet, so we can't be sure if you will be able to obtain this mount.

2) Many games are so story based that devs and players want you to reach the end of the story. (OccupyGStreet)
3) The devs forget that getting better at something and finally mastering it is immensely satisfying. (OccupyGStreet)

Legion - Increased View Distance
One of the nice features in Legion is the significantly increased maximum view distance. In the comparison that we included, you can see that the view distance is increased, but objects no longer load as far away. This may not be intended, as the Environment Detail setting appears to have no effect on object loading distance right now.

Due to a bug in Alpha, Frost is missing baseline Runic Empowerment and Unholy is missing baseline Runic Corruption. (WarcraftDevs)
PvP
Very interesting, although I'm more concerned about tanks being too, uh, tanky in PvP.
We share that concern. Fortunately, we can adjust their health for PvP only. (holinka)
wonder what odds are or of getting the nemisis quests account wide or nerfed a little?4 hours n 2 panda kills
No plans to change these quests - we don't want to diminish the accomplishments of those who have completed them. (WarcraftDevs)
With the changes to Honor and Conquest in Legion how will we get old PvP gear for transmog? Gold?
We're still discussing the exact method, but plan to make them accessible. (WarcraftDevs)
Would sure be nice if PVP box quality also increased with prestige. I only PVP casually and would still like epics
We don't want Prestige to offer player power, as it would then be considered mandatory by many players. (WarcraftDevs)

saw your tweets about not teaching calc in high school and opting for stats instead. Reason being? More everyday application?
Yes. I haven't used calculus ever, even as a scientist. Statistics comes up in every day life frequently. (OccupyGStreet)
How have you kept from burning out from game development? I felt they sucked the life and hope out of me after one project...
I was fortunate to start my career at a studio that cared about the long term health and careers of its developers. (OccupyGStreet)
Sadly they are not all like that and many folks may have to leverage early job experience to eventually get a good job. (OccupyGStreet)
I'm sorry to bring up WoW but I just wanna ask, do you miss working on an MMO?
Not terribly. It's really hard to get the amount of change right for a passionate player base. (OccupyGStreet)
