Transmog

It's no secret that I'm ludicrously engrossed by transmogrification in World of Warcraft.

People have this real tendency to assume that they way they feel about something is universal. Suramar is just one example. I see it held forth as this masterpiece, and I’m glad you enjoyed it, but no, it wasn’t universally beloved and Blizzard knows this. They can’t just keep doing zones like Suramar or people will quit the game. They have a very difficult task of always trying to deliver new experiences — sometimes those experiences can draw upon previous ones, but they can’t just be those again.

Especially Suramar. Some of us really hated it. I honestly, gleefully moved to the Broken Shore because there I could just kill things.

That doesn’t make you wrong for liking it, but it doesn’t mean I’m wrong for not enjoying it. I’d be fine with them making Suramar style content again, as long as it was something I could skip entirely. I very deliberately avoid stealth in WoW. Making me engage in it made me blisteringly angry.

The Venthyr -- one of WoW Shadowlands' new Covenants -- has a pride problem.

One of my favorite things in playing World of Warcraft is what I call transmog farming, even though it isn't always for transmog items -- sometimes I'll go tear my way through Black Temple or Hellfire Citadel just because it's fun for me to blow up old content.

With patch 8.3 not arriving until next year, we have at least a month and a half of no new content coming to World of Warcraft.

BlizzCon had a lot of great surprises, but my favorite announcement wasn't a game, or a feature, or even a release date.

At today's World of Warcraft Q&A panel, a player asked if we'll ever be able to transmog our weapons into legendary weapons such as Val'anyr, Thori'dal, and the like.

Choosing one of the four Shadowlands Covenants will be a key choice as players enter the new expansion.

Every year, I dress up as Rhonin.

Island Expeditions have gone through a few changes over the course of Battle for Azeroth. Blizzard has had a hard time figuring out the best way for us to get our shiny rewards from Islands.
