Blue Tweets

Misc
WoW was never a sandbox MMO. Its framing and "themepark" approach is a big part of why we play it instead of its competitors.
WoW does what it does well, am I'm not inclined to see it reinvented as something it's not. (craig_amai)
I am interested in seeing the market in general explore other angles though, both as a gamer and as a designer. (craig_amai)

Fan Concept - Garrisons Mobile App
Sinfonianartist shared a mockup of what garrisons could look like in the mobile app. Keep in mind this is just a fan concept and that developers have said it is very unlikely garrisons will come to the mobile app.

I would do a lot of illegal things to obtain a Garrison App.

[fiftylol]

I'll join you in said illegal things. please Blizz?

SWTOR news on the front-page?

SWTOR news on the front-page?

...is this real life?

Yesterday it was Rift and Wildstar the day before. This is a really rough time for WoW news but chauds still doing a great job with the front page. It's in slow times like these that you have to rely more on community content or even branch out a bit. Ultimately blue tweets are the bread and butter of the front page but volume has dropped lately with no more twitter announcements and just the one account. Hopefully we get a 6.2 PTR sometime in the next month.

Came to check for news about the wow tokens, saw swtor announcement - made me very happy.

[Santobimba]

I want garrison on mobile so badly.. This is not fun at all..

[Lihnida]

Garrison APP, Finally I can play from work! <3

[spiritess]

I cast a vote, and donate my left arm, my vehicle, and a year of my life to obtain a garrison mobile app. Though I doubt my vote will count for anything to Blizz.

To bad it's not real

please dear devs work on content for 6.2 and not waste your time for a garrision mobile app!

[Brightbrown]

The guy with the mobile Garrison app needs better followers!

[Deleted]

A Garrison app would just make people to not log in at all

Have they fixed their stupid F2P system so that I can equip the gear that I get and run more than 1 dungeon a day?

I wouldn't know, I enjoy the game so I subscribe.

The Iron Maidens
The Iron Maidens should no longer incorrectly trigger a Dreadnaught phase if they reach 100 Energy and 20% health at around the same time."


Hey okay, and how about all the ,guilds that trivialized the fight using this exploit? There goes our kill this week

[Purdition]

Knowing Sinfonianartist and having played with the unfinished version on my phone, I can attest that the app is real and he has done all the behind the scenes coding himself. He has used all database info to make the app function as it would in game. It is rather nice.

[Aberrict]

I know it's only because WoW news is slow, but it's been nice to see other MMOs on the front page.

I'm currently leveling a Jedi Knight in TOR, so this 2xp is pretty nice to have.

What exploit? I think you're not understating this change... this is indeed a nerf. Before this fix you could get to 20% and get a Dreadnaught at the same time which made the fight an instant wipe. Now you can push to 20% after second boat and if you get there on time (when before fix you needed to push it like 15 secs before to not get a dreadnaught) you won't ever see the third boat. So this changes makes it easier to push kills with only two boats safely.

[Yavamar]

You could probably set up TeamViewer on your phone and PC to be able to log in to WoW from your phone and do your garrison stuff. It wouldn't be as elegant as an actual app, but I imagine it would work.
