BlizzCon is this week! We're not sure how that happened, but suspect even Chromie would be confused by how quickly the big day has come.
What's going to happen at BlizzCon?
Your weekly dose of WoW lore
Are you GET HYPE yet? If you aren't, well, you still have a few more days to get on the hype train, so get to work. (Or stay chill. We won't judge.) But for now, let's take a brief break from counting the days 'til BlizzCon to run down the latest news.

Where did Wednesday go? It seems like it was just Tuesday (or maybe Monday). Ah, well, into Wednesday's news we go!
Happy Overwatch-ween! Er, Halloween!
Yesterday we said something about a quiet day and... well... that may have been a mistake. Because today was anything but quiet. In fact, we've had patches in WoW, Hearthstone, and Diablo, plus the Destiny 2 launch hotfixes, and... more. Probably there's more. It's been a bit of a dizzying day.
Tuesday patchday!

It's less than two weeks to BlizzCon, which means we're probably in for a drought (followed by a deluge) of news. Soon we'll know about new content for everything (except Diablo), but in the meanwhile we'll have to make do with datamining and other news tidbits.
New races may be coming to the next WoW expansion 2017-10-24 04:39:14 +0000 UTC View Post
This week our Lore Watchers Anne and Joe are joined by special guest Jesse O’Connor from the YouTube series The Lost Codex to talk about the latest datamined info, the next Warcraft novel, speculate on the next expansion and more. Needless to say, this episode is full of spoilers for patch 7.3.2 and a lot of potential spoilers with datamined information. If you’re avoiding spoile...

You are not playing the same game.
This simple sentence means a few things when we're talking about World of Warcraft. It refers to the matter of time. Whenever you started playing -- be it in the middle of Wrath, back when the game launched, or in the doldrums between Mists of Pandaria and Warlords of Draenor -- is uni...

Junkrat is headed to Heroes of the Storm soon
By Matthew Rossi
We've seen the Overwatch team working on various ways to deal with player toxicity and bad behavior recently, but it's not a new problem nor is it confined to that game. Hearthstone doesn't even let you talk to other players and you can still have some bad experiences with emote spamming and the like (like that one player who starts using up every last second on their turn just to annoy you) and if you've played Heroes of the Storm or&...

This week our Lore Watchers Anne, Matt, and Joe dive into the mailbag to answer some of your questions regarding current content and the next expansion. What are we going to see? Kul Tiras and the South Seas? Zandalar? Or are we looking at a future filled with Void?
For Patrons, we're happy to give you access to the episode before everyone else - enjoy it 2017-10-08 22:53:47 +0000 UTC View Post
We're all hoping for a Kul Tiras expansion

Watcher and Lore did a great WoW Q&A today

Wowhead recently put together a collection of all the Draenei Easter Eggs found on Argus. We already knew about the Krokul Lore Museum from the PTR, but there are a ton more familiar characters you may recognize. Some are only temporary, and some are n...

Before we kick off today's roundup, we had an email from a supporter named Gwen but without return email address. If that's you, please ping me directly at liz@blizzardwatch.com.
And now, on to the roundup!
Halloween is almost here!
by Alex Ziebart
The mission table has been a core part of World of Warcraft gameplay for two expansions now, and I’m curious: Do you want it to be in the next expansion, too? I’d be surprised if it wasn’t part of the next expansion, but that isn’t the question. Do you want the next expansion to have a mission table?
Personally, I do. I enjoy the mission table. I like the management elements it brings to the game, and if anything, I’d love...
