Raids

This week's earnings call revealed that WoW had dropped to slightly above five million subscribers, a rather precipitous decline from its 10 million subs at the start of Warlords of Draenor. No matter what you say about how that doesn't really mean much (and it doesn't, honestly), it's still a startling drop.

It's finally here!

Recently, we Blizzard Watch folk got into a discussion regarding the various boss encounters that have occurred over the course of Warlords of Draenor's lifespan.

I was talking on the Blizzard Watch podcast about how the raids flowed into each other in The Burning Crusade, and that got me thinking about Vanilla raids.

Some fine tuning changes on gear drop chances and quality are being deployed for next week's downtime.

If every patch had to include one specific addition to the game, what would that one thing be?

There is in fact a reasonable amount of stuff to do at max level. So how come it doesn't feel like there is? Why do I, and so many other players, feel disconnected from the world that I just demonstrated is available to us? I think there are two basic problems at max level right now.

If you had hoped to get ahead of the game by stockpiling your Seals of Tempered Fate before World of Warcraft's next big raid goes live, you're out of luck.

On Friday, February 27, at 11:00am Pacific, Lead Game Designer Ion "Watcher" Hazzikostas will be answering questions about dungeons and raids in Warlords of Draenor on the World of Warcraft Twitch stream.
