WoW

Torghast brings a fun roguelike element to World of Warcraft, and it's reminiscent of design elements like Diablo 3's Nephalem and Greater Rifts.

Shadowlands has seen some things stay the same, like raids and Mythic+.

Now that I have two characters at 60 and have started catching up on Renown -- level 6 today yay -- I'm really coming to realize I had absolutely no idea what I was doing when it came to getting my Covenant systems in place.

How many times has this happened to you?

It's been a long tough weekend for the guilds in the Race to World First.

Shadowlands (the expansion) gave us only a small handful of different afterlives to experience -- in very broad terms, we have Bastion for noble folk, Maldraxxus for soldiers and fighters, Ardenweald for the nature lovers among us, and Revendreth for the just-barely-good-enough baddies who need to atone for what they did in life.

We've seen World of Warcraft hang on as the top dog of MMOs over the years, weathering challenges from all kinds of other games.

This week saw some Torghast changes as the new levels went live and players started hurling themselves face first into the teeth of the Tower of the Damned to discover that, oops, some of the new stuff was pretty hard.

The doors of Castle Nathria lay wide open, and the sounds of combat can be heard echoing from within.

Covenants can seem pretty daunting.
