What would be the most shocking possible announcement at BlizzConline?
by Matthew Rossi on February 10, 2021 at 8:00am @MatthewWRossi
I think a lot about BlizzConline and how it's going to fill the BlizzCon-sized hole in all of our greedy little tell us everything hearts, and honestly, I think the most shocking announcement they could make, the absolutely craziest thing would be one of two potential announcements -- either a brand-new IP along the lines of Overwatch which they managed back in November of 2014, or literally nothing.
Valor Points make their return in patch 9.0.5, expected to release in March
by Matthew Rossi on February 9, 2021 at 6:28pm @MatthewWRossi
The patch 9.0.5 PTR is now live, and it's a system focused affair, with bug fixes for issues that couldn't be hotfixed and a whole new system for upgrading items that drop in Mythic+ dungeons.
Hearthstone’s Core set will remake the game, giving all players 235 free cards
by Phil Xavier on February 9, 2021 at 2:30pm
If you were watching a BlizzCon panel for Hearthstone and they were covering today's news, one of the slides might read as such: "Basic and Classic sets: GONE!" And it's true: the Hearthstone team is overhauling the game by removing Basic and Classic sets (which are being moved to Wild mode) and adding a brand new Core Set to replace them.
Running Castle Nathria and Mythic+ dungeons will now reward more Anima, but not more gear
by Matthew Rossi on February 9, 2021 at 1:00pm @MatthewWRossi
If you've been running Mythic+ or Castle Nathria, you've probably noticed that the Anima drops have pretty slim — just 35 Anima per boss kill in Nathria or full clear of an M+ dungeon.

by Matthew Rossi on February 9, 2021 at 10:00am @MatthewWRossi
While I was excited to hear about Diablo Immortal getting released in 2021, I was also interested to hear that Blizzard will be working on more mobile games.

Who is Ve’nari, and can we really trust her?
by Christian Thoma on February 8, 2021 at 6:00pm @Kalcheus
Of all the mysteries still lingering at the end of the 9.0 Shadowlands quests, probably the most intriguing is the situation regarding Ve'nari, a Broker who has survived alone in the Maw for a long time and now considers us her willing partner -- until such time as one of us betrays the other.
