WoW

The idea of a system that connects experienced players who want to help and newer players who could use the help is a pretty good one, and that idea is one coming to Shadowlands with the Guide Mentor System.

Gear scaling is always an issue at the end of every expansion, and has been for a long time -- the very concept of ratings for secondary stats like Crit, Haste, and so on was brought in to fix an issue where items that granted a flat percentage to a secondary stat remained good indefinitely.

Should we use a token system, like the ones coming in Shadowlands?

So I'm still thinking about those Heirloom set bonuses coming in Shadowlands -- or at least the pre-patch for it, when the level squish is slated to happen.

A wide gamut of new customization features are coming to World of Warcraft with the Shadowlands expansion.

The latest Shadowlands build includes a pretty significant change to gear drops in raids: instead of weapon drops, there will be tokens you can turn in for weapons of your choice. These tokens are called Anima Spherules, and they can be turned in at your Covenant Sanctum for weapons and offhand items.

It's hard to overstate the success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Let's speak frankly for a second: We all love to play Barbie with our World of Warcraft characters.

Spoilers for Shadowlands!

Okay, so I'm pretty sure that Jeremy Feasel, aka Muffinus, was being a touch sarcastic when he tweeted that we folks here at Blizzard Watch would immediately take the opportunity after Hunters were generously given 200 stable slots to begin a frank discussion about duckdogs.
