Jonathan LeCraft, a senior game designer, was let go due to the lawsuit. He has 4 NPC's for them to patch out.

Blizzard dev Jesse McCree, and Diablo IV lead director Louis Barriga also have been let go from the company. So what's the chance that McCree from Overwatch gets Joel-In-One'd in a cutscene in OW2, to make it a "lore-fitting" moment, and to distance themselves from that ex-dev?
Also, on the Classic TBC PTR, the whistle emote was changed. At this rate, why don't they get just rid of all of the emotes, because someone will find a way to get offended at the /sleep emote.

Honestly a bit surprised the new CaptainGrim video hasn't been posted yet. It's a really good takedown of the current state of TBC, Retail, and Blizz itself.

Forgot to mention that Cory Stockton, is supposedly on leave now but can't confirm since the prime source on that is Kraptaku. The optics aren't looking good tho.

I just want to say, single player private server is still fun.
Do what you want, when you want, start off doing everything possible in each zone, collect all the stuff you can possibly gather.
Max out your stats, run through a dungeons just blowing everything up.
Hell initiate the AQ event and get yourself a black scarab mount. Give yourself the old school epic mounts that were removed in vanilla.
Then just like ride through your favorite zones and enjoy the ambiance. Hell you can even have it go instantly from day to night.
When Blizzard dies, this is how the game will live on.

This is typical corporate overcorrection. They're literally going to chop off their hand and leave a bloody stub and months later will just probably close up the studio entirely because they've made it impossible for anyone to work there and accomplish something.
They're making short term emotional decisions.

That reminds me. I quit back in Cata, but what remember back then was that the scribe profession was pretty bad and hadn't been improved since its release in Wraith, engineer was lacking any new fun toys to make, and archaeology was an RNG slog ,even as a dwarf I never got any of the good or fun unique items. Have they made any efforts over the years to improve these professions or professions in general? The trend I noticed was that with each expansion your profession became more irrelevant and the benefits became smaller.Remember how in the first tier of Pandaria, weapons had a special "Sha" socket that only took "Sha" gems from the Black Prince? Great mechanic, very memorable. Why was it abandoned in the second tier when raiding the bug base was in full swing?
I wouldn't mind these "tacked-on" systems if they EVER CAME BACK. Corruption was very fucked by luck from the first third of the Nyalotha tier, and it sort of got better by the time the vendor came in, even though the rotating vendor schedule was retarded. I even liked that the cloak had to be upgraded so you could even attempt N'Zoth. But why, after all the fixing they did to Corruption, did they not bring it back in Shadowlands? You could rename the shit "Domination burden" or "Chains of fate" or whatever, and just carry over the system and most of the corruption powers, make a few new ones, keep tuning. It was done. People got used to it, and would take it again.
I'm not interacting with the Shards of Domination/rune words this tier, because why bother? It's going to be invalid next patch and not fixed/re-used. Hopefully whomever keeps shoehorning it in is also a boob-grabber and gets fired, because I'm sick of abandoned and mothballed "features."

Nope, perks are removed. Inscription is only good at the beginning of the expansion, Alchemy and Enchanting still make money, The gear making professions are good for the first week of the patch, Engineering is a joke now except for world pvp. Professions can sometimes make toys and mounts here and there and in this expansion they can make parts for legendaries. First Aid got removed lol, and fishing is still fishing.

Tailors can create bandages now.
Also of note is that while the Horde side Hall of Fame for this raid tier will be closing on the next reset, Alliance is only at 12 guilds in their Hall of Fame as of this post:
People have brought up the suggestion to implement cross-faction raiding, but why does it seem like that Blizzard is setting up to delete the entire Alliance faction instead, as a "cheaper" way to fix the faction balance issue?

I've had a druid scribe since WotLK, frequently as a main. Glyphs were stupid at first but actually useful then got removed, then they make less and less cosmetic glyphs per expansion. I think this one we got 0. Instead we make a couple very cheap consumables (one lets you change talents, one lets you make a change talents spot for everyone in your raid, one gives a consumable used to decide the stats on your legos) that sell for nothing. You also need someone as a scribe to make a consumable for raiding (no one sells them on the AH because they never get bought, necessitating someone in your guild to do it). Other then that you can open locks. Blizzard even removed the only good consumable that we ever got that could replace int/attack power/stam buffs with a lesser form so you didn't have to bring a mandatory priest, warrior and mage in every raid. The only worse profession is archeology which got like 2 pets and 2 toys last expansion and absolutely nothing this one, but at least it's a secondary.
Engineering is kind of meh but you still get a battle rez and some utility. Alch/Enchanting are the same. LW/BS/Tailor are probably more relevant then they've been since MoP actually.
You mean the Horde right? The devs only want to write alliance stories. Garosh is basically the only horde character this expansion.

Really, you could make a version of Everywhere at the End of Time with menu music from classic Blizzard games instead of Al Bowly's Heartache and it would work quite well. Maybe have a rolled up WoW subscription card for the art.

They've had plenty of time to remove factions and never have.
The faction war is super serious unless it impacts the story, then it's hand waved away. If Alliance raid Garrosh in Siege of Orgrimmar then they've effectively sacked the enemy capitol and killed their leader and then they just leave because "nah we'll see you in Arathi Basin".

No, no see King Chin threatened that if they were meanie pants they'd come back and beat them up. Except that's precisely what happened immediately afterward over and over again, forever. Whoops.
