Introducing the WoW Variety Show

The WoW© Variety Show is a new three-event live broadcast coming to Twitch on August 24!

For glory and honor, a mix of renowned Warcraft Celebrity Contestants and chosen community members will go head-to-head as they compete in a triathlon of unique WoW activities. Players will have to show off their in-game knowledge, mastery of leveling, and speed in our specially-tailored segments for bragging rights over their fellow heroes and a slew of giveaway prizes. Read on for details of each event, and be sure to both register here and join the Variety Show Discord before the event goes live on Twitch!

Leveling

We’ve seen what some of our favorite friendly faces can do at max level, but now we’re taking them back to where it all began. Hosted on live servers, four Warcraft Celebrity Contestants will have exactly one hour to level a fresh character as high as possible, with a series of additional tasks and challenges to face along the way!

Scavenger Hunt

From lore to unsolved mysteries, the Warcraft universe is filled with all sorts of hidden items. Faced with riddles, puzzles, and plenty of things to find, teams of five will need to work together, making the most of their time as they scour the zones and complete as many scavenger tasks as possible! Register today to start your search, because spots are limited.

Footrace Through Azeroth

The final activity comes down to a test of speed and strategy, as players will fight without flight on a footrace through Azeroth! Grab your ground-mounts and go sign-up today. May the fastest hero win!

My thoughts exactly. Did we ask for this? I mean, there's 9000 other things we as players want, but it seem to fall on deaf ears and we end up getting things we didn't ask for.

You only speak for you. Also, this does not take any away any development time. Stop acting like you are the sole arbiter of what they should be giving out.

I like this. Bit of an alternative play style played for fun.

[Seiken3]

No need to get all hostile. I'd love to know your sources on the info that this didn't take from resources that could be spent on development, however.

[Redwyrm]

Probably more entertaining than the competitive dungeon runs (MDI)

[Chilela]

Feels like marketing, but hey, could be fun for the people still playing.

[ParanoiD84]

Cant be worse then the so so boring arena and m+ they usually stream where its always the same comps.

How could it possible take resources form development? They don’t seem to be adding any thing new for this stuff at most it’s some community mangers setting this stuff up and they would never be working on development anyway.

Than.. THAN!! If you're gonna complain.. please for the love of God, do it properly................

No i dont think i will, does it bother you?

[TheRevenantHero]

Why even bother having sign ups? they're only going to choose huge Twitch streamers as contestants. This is fucking stupid and a waste of time.

[Ehrenpanzer]

"NA only." lmao

NA only.. then read the rules and see its literally only the USA eligible.. fuck Mexico and Canada I guess...

Common sense. It's not developers making this. It's the community managers.
