Heroes-of-the-storm

Now that the open beta for Heroes of the Storm is well underway, matchmaking is being flooded with new blood. While it is very exciting to see more people pick up the game, their lack of experience has ruffled some feathers among veteran players. But don’t worry - I’m here to help!

One of the core tenets of multiple Blizzard games is the immersive role that the player assumes within the game.

With this week's Heroes announcements, we're seeing Kael'Thas from Warcraft and the Crusader from Diablo 3 joining the Nexus ranks in Heroes of the Storm.

In a new video, the Heroes of the Storm team has unveiled several cool new skins, mounts and, surprisingly, heroes currently in development.

With a single iconic line and a very short, fiery video, the Heroes of the Storm team has announced Kael'thas as the latest Hero to join the fray in the Nexus.

With the confirmed June 2nd launch for Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard announced a boxed retail starter pack that will allow players to start with a few heroes, a few skins, and the unique Golden Tiger mount.

I wrote a post about the WoW Token, and the comments had some interesting ideas. One of them was that we could expand what the token does - you could extend the token or make a new token for things like character transfers, race changes, faction transfers and so on. Allowing people to use their in-game gold more flexibly and allowing people to select the kind of services they spent their real life money to trade in, especially after the initial burst of token activity is over and most people that are going to do it have bought game time.

The opening rounds of Blizzard's Heroes of the Dorm Heroes tournament took place last weekend and the reaction so far is that the tournament has been fraught with problems.

The playable heroes in Heroes of the Storm come from a wide range of Blizzard titles, meaning you can play as Jaina alongside Kerrigan — or the Lost Vikings.
