Good. They need to replace the wow team. Can we add the writers in the mix as well? And maybe certain lead dev there…

Well, that is a good sign at least.

Just filled all vacancies for that position as of July 30.

Also these are just the listings for the Irvine campus from me just scanning the list. this doesn’t appear to include the Fresno, NYC, Minneapolis, and Austin campuses.

I got it from Icy-Veins an hour ago.

Ok, I’m just telling you what I know based on what I know. This post is out dated and limited to Irvine campus. :woman_shrugging:

Well, Blizzard Headquarters is Irvine, CA…However, this looks like great news for the future development of WoW to me and I might resub later now.

8

Are these really new though? There are always a plethora of jobs open at Blizzard.

I think they need a nurse for the office! I wonder if they have an in house clinic for staff like some businesses do.

10

The Associate Game Director position is still up on their website and others.

11

There’s noting to do with narrative design so it doesn’t look like there’s anything in there for me. Sad.

The job title of associate game director means blizzard won’t fix WoW:

“Never be on the WoW team and then just come and direct it”

It can take 30 years to become the CEO of a corporation, climbing the ladder to perform all the job duties of optional roll, but just randomly employing a girl that worked on Diablo 2: Remastered and a guy from Xbox to just become president shows that the company isn’t one of AAA integrity

Wait, this is actually a cool job to apply for. Disregard last. Everything’s coming up Joyeuse lmfao.

Most of these listings are perennial. A select few have had more than usual multiple listings pop up over the last 6 months.

21

Don’t most of the game-specific jobs perform functions that they have told us are working as intended and need no improvement?

30 years, sometimes true. With the same company? Once he’s on top that guy can write his own ticket.

What a dog poop take this is.

Activision-Blizzard is giving out meaningless job titles and wrecking their own games up in the process

They can’t just higher someone at random outside the company who has a deep passion for angry birds and hello kitty island adventure, and then just direct World of Warcraft, and even Blizzard Entertainment

It’s why the Shadowlands story/lore/systems currency is so broken
