Isn’t Chris Metzen the only one that has rejoined Blizzard? All of the other Old Guard either quit or work on Overwatch now.

I kind of feel bad for the poor devs they forced to do this. :upside_down_face:

It would look more natural if they have two people talking in a conversation.

And just like that they have two people in frame.

Good.

I agree. The devs are probably cool people, but they look like weird dolls when reading from the Teleprompter. The eyes are off.

Namaste.

It’s a year*

So far, Direct can be summed up as fake enthusiasm over things we don’t really care about from people we don’t know.

Hilarious. They just indirectly acknowledged the queueing experience in WoW is bad lol.

Totally. Why can’t they just be cynical and angry over magic elf video games like everyone else?

Ok, that is kind of nifty that players can do Rumble matches on PC soon. Nice reference to the WoW queues. Heh.

Short of having AI fill the healer or tank roles though not sure how to make that go faster. They can’t force people to play a certain role against their will.

I am all for any games being on PC though! Not a mobile fan.

Warcraft battlechest is nice.

Still, they need to make the OG wc3 and their patches accessible. That thing could run on a toaster now with it’s whooping 2gb download size. VS reforged which is 30gb+

I just told that to a friend.
They are making fun of their own made problem of long waiting ques.

Hm…if there would be a solution to that…like…more tanks for raids, showing new players better game mechanics…incr. tanks per grp so stress is splitted to 2…so not flaming only 1 person :wink:

I want to type /rumble, not use the launcher.

But I’m old school. (/gems in EverQuest? Anyone?)

They could start by making the roles just suck less to play. But it’s probably easier to make bots lol.

That said Im interested in WC1 and 2. Gonna wait though, make sure they don’t Reforge it.

Mage Healer

Shaman Tank

Would it solve the issue? No, it’d help though.
