Watching Blizzard: At least it's a short week
Added 2018-07-03 00:56:07 +0000 UTCAh, another terrible and thrilling work-week is upon us (at least for those of us on weekday grind). But it's (hopefully) the end of the workday for everyone reading this, so let's ignore the outside world for a little while and talk about video games. Then maybe we could play some video games. Perfect.
Ever wanted to try the Hearthstone Arena?
- This competitive mode, where you create a random (and sometimes terrible) deck, can be a little intimidating — especially since it has an entry fee. But if you're curious about giving the Arena a try, here's everything you need to know.
Can the Void be afraid?
- I'm a little dubious, but Anne makes an argument in a tin-foil hat edition of Know Your Lore.
Not everyone likes the latest reworks in Heroes of the Storm...
- In fact, there is a ton of salt about the Azmodan rework (the response to Raynor is a bit more peppery), but I think we can all unite in agreement that these new Mad Max style skins are the greatest. They'll likely be coming with the next content patch, due to arrive next week.
Blizzard is cracking down on advertising in the Group Finder
- If you're in the trade channel, you've probably seen an increasing number of advertisements for Antorus carries as everyone scrambles to get their spellwing mount. But even worse than those are the ads in the Group Finder, which pack it with pay-for groups that make it hard to find actual group. And starting today, using the Group Finder this way is banned. (You are, however, still welcome to buy or sell runs with gold elsewhere.)
And that's it for today everyone! With the 4th of July holiday in America on Wednesday, we don't expect much in the way of major news from Blizzard this week... but they've been known to surprise us before. So until the next news drop, this is Liz, signing out.
