Watching Blizzard: Tuesdays with Yogg

Added 2018-02-14 01:28:57 +0000 UTC

Happy Ulduar Timewalking week, everyone! I'm writing this as fast as I can so I can descend into the madness of fighting Yogg-Saron. That's what Tuesdays are for, right? I mean, "Tuesdays with Yogg" has a nice ring to it. Maybe we should just make the effort to go visit an Old God every Tuesday. After all, they have to be lonely. Who visits C'Thun anymore? Who comes to be consumed by madness? No one. The poor thing doesn't even have a Timewalking raid. Maybe I should go check in on him after visiting Yogg. It's what a good Warcraft neighbor should do.

But let's get on to the news so I can keep my Ulduar raid date.

News from the Battle for Azeroth alpha

Things are heating up between the Horde and the Alliance. We have some spoilers about who struck first.
Yesterday Rossi took a look at Warriors in the alpha: today, Ted takes a look at tanks in general.
If you liked customizing your Hunter pets, your options may be more limited come Battle for Azeroth. On the alpha, you can no longer pick your pet's specialization.
Anne is continuing her adventures through Drustvar with a gallery of the Crimson Coast. For more, check out galleries of Fallhaven and Alpine Rise.

Buffed, then nerfed again

No, we're not talking about your favorite class. We're talking about Shu-zen, whose floofy fur was buffed by 30% before being trimmed back down to size. Farewell, floof.

That's a pretty hefty price increase

The success of Overwatch League means Blizzard is already thinking about expansion — and future teams may require a buy in of up to $60 million. That's a big jump from the $20 million current teams required.

Not heading to Ulduar this week?

Well, there's a fresh Heroes of the Storm rotation with your first chance to try out Blaze, and the Lunar Festival runs through early March. But if you feel like spending some cash, there's also the recently-nerfed (but still pretty powerful) Maiev.

Woo! It looks like I'll just make raid time. We'll see if I've descended into madness and/or become a Shadow Priest by tomorrow. This is Liz, signing out.
