Watching Blizzard: Rose-tinted glasses

Added 2018-05-25 02:30:15 +0000 UTC

Another day has come and gone, which means it's time to look back on the past 24 hours with deep nostalgia.

Okay, maybe not deep nostalgia. But there has to be a little nostalgia at least, right? So let's put on our rose-tinted glasses (or goggles) and dig into the news.

Can healers level in Battle for Azeroth?

Sure, healers have always been able to level on their own... but it hasn't necessarily been easy. Rachelle has a rundown of Holy Priest leveling in the expansion, and it isn't great news for would-be levelers.

Speaking of healers...

Ted's done a comparison of the healing classes as they stand in the current beta. If you play a healer, you'll want to take a look at where you fit in the healing chart these days.

There's a new beta build!

While we haven't written anything about it yet, a new beta build rolled out tonight and Wowhead has all the datamining. I expect they'll continue to add stuff as they find it throughout the day or so.
I have been trying to convince someone to write about the new alpaca model, which I hope is a mount, but I haven't succeeded yet. So just go admire the alpaca, in a variety of different colors, on your own.

And if you aren't in the beta yet...

Don't forget that we're giving away some beta keys, so hop over to the comments and enter!

I don't think I can wait this long for Overwatch nerf guns

They're coming in 2019, but that's about all we know.
2019 is basically an eternity away, if you were wondering.

Heroes of the Storm's Nexomania loot boxes are already getting a change

Apparently players didn't enjoy how likely they were to get last year's summer skins in this year's loot boxes. And who can blame them? This year's luchadore-themed skins are awesome. After some outcry, Blizzard has changed the skin drop rates.

And that's all for now, my friends. I'm off to watch the Shanghai Dragons totally get their first win in Overwatch League, which is totally going to happen. After all, I'm still wearing my rose-colored glasses over here. This is Liz, signing out.
