Join us today at 4PM Central / 2PM Pacific for a live recording of the Blizzard Watch podcast!

We knew the Emerald Nightmare raid would be arriving a short three weeks after Legion's launch, but now Blizzard has given us a schedule for raid and dungeon releases.

With just a week left until the launch of Legion, the invasion is ramping up.

So, I knew the whole Invasions as leveling tool experience had been radically improved by a recent hotfix — I’d leveled two characters in their 90’s with it, including my long abandoned Paladin. But upon getting him to 100 I decided to see how useful it was for a low level toon, my level 23 Warrior. So, this Monday, I took her to the Westfall one since she could get to it pretty easily.

Long story short, she’s now level 64. And I didn’t log on every two hours to hit all the Invasions, nor did I log out at an inn to reset a zone to stage 1 (although I was advised to do so on Twitter and I find that fascinating). This is just from hitting as many invasions as I could reasonably reach, with a last minute assist from my wife on her Sandstone Drake to get to some of the elites in Azshara. That one popped me up six levels by itself.

This is the Queue. Let’s chat about stuff.

"Oh look!

Whether you're excited about the upcoming Machines of War event or the arrival of Zarya and Alarak in Heroes of the Storm, you have some time to wait. Machines of War (with two new maps), Alarak, a free hero for everyone, and (we're guessing) a rework of Valla will go live on September 13 which leaves us with three weeks to wait for new content.

Now that Overwatch's Summer Games seasonal event is coming to a close at 4pm PT today and the loot boxes are going back into the vault, it's time to see what prizes you snagged.

Though we knew we would be getting a rework of Valla in a future patch, today's patch notes include changes to eight heroes, none of which are Valla.

One of the complaints I and others aimed at Warlords of Draenor was that there was little of a narrative sense of anything being at stake on Draenor.

A new World of Warcraft expansion is right around the corner, which means Blizzard Entertainment finally allows master blacksmith Tony Swatton to see the light of day once again.
