Hearthstone patch 29.6 will reintroduce Buddies to the Battlegrounds, and the heroes who still didn't have their buddies will get them this time.

Dear Blizzard,

Why not add Skyreach as a choice on the same node as Rushing Reflexes at the bottom of the Monk talent tree?

I don’t mean the critical strike component, by the way — remove that. Make Skyreach an ability that’s all about dashing players to their next target, and nothing else. Rushing Reflexes, which is being added to the game, seems to serve the exact same purpose anyway — but based on the testing we’ve done so far, it gives you nowhere near the same sense of control about picking and approaching your intended target.

Sincerely,

a Monk player who finds Skyreach an extremely fun and useful ability, and sees no reason why it can’t be optional for those who enjoy it — rather than outright removed. (Trying to put the cat back in the bag feels awful for everyone involved: you, the cat, the person who’ll have to treat your infected scratches later, everyone.)

Mercenary companions had become a staple in Diablo — these hirelings were missing from Diablo 4, but will be added to the game in the upcoming Vessel of Hatred expansion.

Summer Game Fest 2024 happened this weekend, and there were a lot of announcements -- including from Blizzard.

The War Within has just entered its beta stage, so the time for feedback is right now.

First of all, a disclaimer: we're not saying that just anyone could clear the first Capstone Dungeon in Diablo 4 at such a low level.

We know a few things about Xal'atath at this point: she's a major antagonist for World of Warcraft's upcoming The War Within expansion, and she's been involved with the story of Azeroth for millennia, having shaped events and influenced things from behind the curtain.

This is something of a calm week on the gaming front, but that doesn't mean there aren't new (and old) things to play.

We're presenting four decks that feature cards from the recently-released Dr.

It’s a good quality for any Death Knight candidate to have, really. I get why Bolvar saw it in her!
