In the recent "Road to Shadowlands" update, spooky floating eyeball Game Director Ion "Watcher" Hazzikostas discussed some shifts in how players will experience choosing and potentially re-choosing their Covenants.

For me, it's Artifacts and all the gameplay that we had around them that stand out as the best expansion-defining feature World of Warcraft has had in quite some time.

We've all had this experience -- you log in to review patch notes, skim-skim-skim and wait, what is this weird new thing?

Blizzard seems to frequently treat World of Warcraft expansions as self-contained stories, where almost all characters who show up are never seen again.

One of the choices you're going to have leveling through World of Warcraft's next expansion, Shadowlands, is deciding which of the game's expansions to go 10 to 50 in.

I've wanted Titan's Grip tanking for World of Warcraft since the talent was introduced (back when it was a talent) during Wrath of the Lich King, to the point where I actually did tank with it, back when you could viably tank as a Arms or Fury Warrior as long as you dipped 10 to 20 points in Protection.

Battle for Azeroth has certainly not been all things to all people.

I really haven't liked my professions for several expansions -- I think the last time I really enjoyed crafting in World of Warcraft was during The Burning Crusade, if only because that was when I made my Lionheart Executioner.

That moment when everything comes together in World of Warcraft can be amazingly satisfying for us lore nerds.

Right, I know, #NoChanges and everything, but what about #OneChange?
