Legion

Yeah, beta build. Datamining. Tons of neat stuff. It’s all crazy awesome, and I’m digging through it just like y’all. But please, please, don’t get too excited, or upset, about anything you discover. Datamining is awesome but it’s also not in context, stuff gets left in that’s never meant to go live, old versions of new content. Just keep a bowl of salt next to your monitor for a while, okay? Expect nothing until it’s announced. It’s just easier that way.

Anyway, here’s the Queue. Let’s talk. There are some spoilery things here because that’s what happens when you talk about datamining. I understand if you’re trying to avoid those, so be warned.

Though Legion's beta isn't playable yet, the client hit Blizzard's CDN (that's a content delivery network, for those of you who aren't familiar with the term) last night, which means dataminers have been in a frenzy ever since.

Cartoonish arch rivals, exploding chickens, and a monocled monkey assistant -- no, I'm not talking about a classic cartoon here; I'm talking about the new promotional video for World of Warcraft's level-100 boost service.

With the announcement of Gnome Hunters coming in Legion, many players began to hope their personal favorite might make it into the game.

When talking about the Artifact weapons of Legion and the lore that's being revealed for them, Paladin Artifacts are some of the most interesting, touching upon the origin of the Order of the Silver Hand and the fate of Watcher Tyr, the missing Watcher from Ulduar.

Welcome to Shifting Perspectives, Blizzard Watch’s (semi-)regular column for druids of all specs.

BlizzCon frustrated me as a Warlock.

There was a lot of lore revealed via the Artifact descriptions on the official site, and as we go into Legion we're apparently not just going to learn about the Burning Legion and the Broken Isles but about the past and the history of many different parts of the world of Azeroth.

BlizzCon has come and gone and we’re now seeing a deluge of information!
