Endgame sandbox activites… hmmm
Housing like in Valheim?

I would think that housing is a big enough project that it would likely be featured as part of a new expansion rather than a ‘random’ addition at the tail end of the current one.

They always start future expansions very far in advance, usually before the current one even releases. So it’s an automatic given. :woman_shrugging:

Plus they need to announce it next Blizzcon so by now it’s probably developed enough to give a basic preview.

Yeah. Just like they always have. This isn’t news.

If anyone wants to know how they listen to us, look at this job description. Actually, it looks fascinating. Not enough to leave retirement but still some really cool ways to convert data into knowledge.

I love this bit:

" Communicate with Senior project stakeholders in a tactful and persuasive manner generating buy-in and prioritizing research projects."

How do you act both tactful and persuasive at the same time?

Hi Joe. Listen, I love your work but you really need to increase those drop rates. The players have spoken and…No Joe, seriously, we can’t tell them to go eat their pets, we need…ok, look, sleep on it, give it your best shot.…”

Lol everyone is jumping ship.

Blizzard Entertainment is a global company committed to growing our employees.

Which is why they laid off 800 people pre-Covid.

You sir, maam or other designation of your choosing need to learn the fine art of BSing.

I hope it’s not another World of Garrisons or World of Mission Tables.

Like it’s okay for that stuff to exist…but implement it as a smaller part of a huge expansion.

Don’t use it as a main feature and a roadblock for content.
