Blizzard Watch Podcast: Cry for mercy; Hallow’s End has come!

Hallow’s End has begun in World of Warcraft, and with it comes all our old haunts, plus a ton of content for our Player Housing neighborhoods. After all, the best part of the holiday is trick or treating door to door!  These quests take you to far-flung creepy corners of Azeroth, and somehow, Nomi is there, which is the real horror. And the scares doesn’t stop there — the new Labyrinths features have been plagued by a lot of bugs! Our experiences have certainly been spooky. And speaking of bugs, Aqir Invasions are ending in patch 12.1.7. And this is the perfect time to mention the new Old God-themed Hearthstone expansion, Reign of the Black Empire, which released earlier this week, and features an “assemble” keyword, which allows you to mash together a bunch of different effects to the wackiest of ends.

But enough with the Halloween theme — the bright spot that is WoW: Forever is fast approaching, with the name reservation window beginning October 27. And beyond that is even more — this week we got a preview of some of the old/new stuff, including the Brotherhood of the Horse, and the timeframe for the opening of raids. By the way, yes, you will have to attune for those. Everything old is new again, including your inability to get that Headless Horseman mount drop.
