One of the changes in Battle for Azeroth that I love with an unquenchable passion is the upcoming Legacy loot mode, which makes transmog farming so much less painful.

We all missed having to pay to respec, right?

It’s a pulptastic showdown in this month’s Splatfest, with those who prefer their orange juice without pulp pitted against those who actually have good taste. We’ll find out this coming weekend which team comes out on top.

Until then, let’s Queue!

For many classes and specializations, the Battle for Azeroth version plays similarly to the current Legion version, minus the Artifact traits, tier sets, and Legendaries.

Last Friday, Blizzard did another round of Warfront testing on the Battle for Azeroth beta -- this time, on the Alliance side.

Whew, we've all survived another Monday.

There was an IGN stream at this year's E3 with World of Warcraft Production Director John Hight, and a slip of the tongue made there has gained so much traction that Ion Hazzikostas had to deny it on last Thursday's live Q&A on the Warcraft Twitch channel.

Sometimes, the paintings of Azeroth tell peculiar stories. On the far-flung shores of Kul Tiras, those stories are downright weird.

Our good friend and previous WoW Insider podcast host Mat McCurley has decided that Star Wars fans need a bit of happy, something I agree with. And who better to provide that than the other (better?) half of the two-headed Orc MatMatt? I’ve recently given his show a listen, and it’s got the classic Mat “my other name is Ira Glass” McCurley vibe to it.

In episode two he goes into why he loves, and we should all love, Rose Tico. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that I think we should also love Rose Tico and what she brings to the films (and hopefully have more of it), and Mat frames the recent goings-on around the character in a perspective that is very respectful and spot-on, I think. It’s definitely worth a listen.
