A blue post earlier today confirmed that some Heroes of the Storm mounts will be heading out to pasture soon.

Perhaps the reveal that resonated most with me was the kitchen sink attitude that Blizzard was suddenly taking towards class lore. Since Wrath of the Lich King I have been starving for more Paladin-flavored lore in this game and it was so exhilarating to see the new push that the game is taking to focus on the different classes and the stories that make them distinct and special. I’d like to talk a bit in this post about Protection Paladins in the next expansion and what we have in store for us with regards to the new class lore. I especially want to brainstorm a bit on what our artifact may be and what options are potentially available.

Happy patch day, everyone!

There are some excellent new cross-promotion perks that went live in today's Heroes of the Storm patch.

Hi.

I’m Matt, I’ll be answering your Queue questions today. Let us go and do that now.

Blizzard sent some early BlizzCon goody bags yesterday and Michele Morrow excitedly unboxed it on video to show everyone what we'll receive.

According to datamining on HearthPwn, there are some new test strings in the Hearthstone code that suggest a co-op mode may be in the works.

Submitter Gimmlette of Spectacular Death on Llane (US-A) writes, "It perhaps says something about my guild when, as we were deciding what to do to 'celebrate' World Lizard Day on Friday, August 14, the discussion turned to 'let's do this naked.' We had over a dozen people want to show up for the shot, and hey, devilsaurs are lizards.

Every week Heroes of the Storm has some heroes you'd usually have to pay for that you can play for free in the free hero rotation, plus a number of heroes and skins on sale in the weekly sale.

It's fairly easy to accumulate gold in Heroes of the Storm.
