I'm not asking if leveling is too easy, I'm asking if it's too divorced from what we're expected to do at max level. One of the things that limits console RPG's from getting too much ability bloat is the limitation of the control interface, but MMO's like WoW pack on the abilities - even after the pretty significant trim that we saw in Warlords of Draenor a max level characters interface can have upwards of twenty regularly used buttons on it.

Now that we have those Ultimate Battle-Training Stones, let's talk about how to level the rest of your battle pets.

Blackrock Mountain adventure will be available Thursday, April 2! The adventure comes with 31 new cards. Of those, each class will have two brand-new class cards to add.

Last week, I talked a lot about totems and Enhancement, and how we really don't need them any more - or if you want to be super on-point, we basically don't have them any longer anyway. This week, I want to talk about how we could reverse that.

Welcome to Lightsworn, Blizzard Watch’s regular paladin column.

You chose our fates, and now the leveling begins.

Hearthstone isn’t always (at least not for me) good fun… I’m not particularly good at it and never make it very far if I try to play competitively. Still, I enjoy tuning in to watch Matticus talk about it and, oddly, I had a lot of trouble turning away from this week’s not-quite-endless Hearthstone turn. There was just something about the soothing rhythm of the ongoing barrage of Arcane Missiles that was hard to look away from.

But now that that’s come to an end, we can get back to the business of answering Queue questions.

I suppose Bolvar isn't too inclined to make chit-chat with his captor, or maybe they've exhausted all possible conversation topics in the years since Wrath of the Lich King came out.

I love the LFR system, but, ugh, I am burned out and I blame that demanding bastard Archmage "Khadgar".
