Warcraft 3: Reforged Gameplay Videos Warcraft 3: Reforged Gameplay Videos It seems we have some very enthusiastic people in the closed WC3: Reforge beta, as youtuber Book of Flames has posted several videos of the game running on max settings at 1080p at 60FPS! We get a good look at the Orc and Human factions, with 3 matches being played and a surprise cameo by a Pandaren Brewmaster! We get some nice zoom-ins on a few units as well and a pretty good showcase of the game in action. Blizzard Blizzard Today at 19:35 by Starym 1 comment

Hotfixes for October 17th: Legendary Tuning, Hex Nerf, Pet and Mech Buffs Hotfixes for October 17th: Legendary Tuning, Hex Nerf, Pet and Mech Buffs Today's hotfixes bring another huge round of legendary tuning, with nerfs to the massively powerful Lyuda, Lucian's Call, Flakker, Hellwalker, with buffs to many other weapons. The bigger news if that Hex grenade (the most powerful one in the game) also got a massive 70% nerf as well as a duration reduction, hitting both the Moze grenade and Amara Elemental Ricochet builds, with Firestorm also getting a 70% reduction.

We then have Vault Hunter adjustments, with big Iron Bear, pet and Digiclone health buffs, and a big improvement for shield boosters, as they're now an auto pickup, making those types of shields much more viable! We'll be updating our guides to include the changes soon.

As always, the changes will be live some time today before midnight CEST. Borderlands 3 Borderlands 3 Today at 15:03 by Starym

Explanation On Why Only 2 Classes Get New Sets this Season Explanation On Why Only 2 Classes Get New Sets this Season It seems the fact that only Crusaders and Monks are getting new sets is bothering a fair amount of people and Nevalistis has replied to a forum thread titled "2 out of 7 classes are getting love!?", which is a pretty ironic title considering Barbarians are getting quite some affection this season as well (I suppose it's only love if there's sets involved... typical materialists!!1).

The explanation goes into why this way of releasing updates to the classes was chosen and what other ways were planned and then scrapped (although the reason behind the initial limitation is clearly because there aren't that many devs working on D3, as is to be expected - and hopefully the rest are all on D4): Diablo III D3 Today at 00:34 by Starym 1 comment
Free Character Moves US/OC Realms: October 17th Free Character Moves US/OC Realms: October 17th There's a whole lot more free moves coming tomorrow from pretty much all US and OC servers, in addition to the already ongoing moves to Latin American and Brazillian realms. While the transfers start tomorrow, there's no end date listed, however moves will be closed as soon as a target realm reaches high population. With layering being removed completely soon, and already at a bare minimum now, these moves come at a pretty good time. WoW Classic WoW Classic Today at 00:06 by Starym

Dire Maul Stacking Guard Buff Hotfix Dire Maul Stacking Guard Buff Hotfix It seems there was a short-lived bug in Dire Maul North that allowed the buff the guards gave after completing a tribute run to stack! A hotfix has been deployed around 30 minutes ago and that is no longer the case, so if you managed to snag some extra power you've had your fun and it's now fixed!

Hotfix for October 15: Enchants No Longer Count as Helpful Auras Hotfix for October 15: Enchants No Longer Count as Helpful Auras It's been a while since we got word that something weird was happening with the auras in Classic, with several aspects that affect them already resolved. Today we have further progress on that, namely the part where some item enchants were using up slots and thus knocking off helpful buffs like Power Word: Fortitude and the like, as the issue has been partially fixed. There are still some item enchants that require a slot, but that's what it was like in 1.12 as well so it's staying.

PTR Patch 2.6.7 Notes - Season of Eternal Conflict (S19) PTR Patch 2.6.7 Notes - Season of Eternal Conflict (S19) Update: we're also getting a new pet and portrait frame in addition to the reurning rewards from Season 7!

The next season's PTR will be up this Thursday and we have all the patch notes already! The big news is the new seasonal power, and it's a pretty solid one. The Pandemonuim effect will not only buff your speed and power (up to 50% speed and 100% damage) based on killstreak, but also has a combo effect depending on when you choose to end your killstreak (from massive frost novas, angels descending to help and more). All the effects are listed below and will scale based on the GR level as well, making them (hopefully) relevant in higher GRs as well.

We're also getting new sets! Crusaders and Monks will be getting them this season, with the other class ones arriving in later seasons, and there will be new and returning legendary powers that will synergize with the sets.

Barbarians also get a lot of tweaks to their legendary items, hopefully addressing the issues players have had with the class. Diablo III D3 Oct 14, 2019 at 19:54 by Starym 15 comments
Show Me the Eridium Event Details Show Me the Eridium Event Details The 10th anniversary celebration continues with the Eridium-themed event tomorrow, with the purple currency dropping from all enemies for a week, even more of it will drop on Mayhem and, most importantly of all, cosmetics will be discounted at Crazy Earl's shop and the Eridium slot machine will be cheaper to use as well!

This also means that the rare spawn event, which has proven to be quite popular as players farm for a lot of artifacts, grenades, class mods etc, is only around for another day and a half, so get to farming if you still need that perfect roll on one of the many drops (like the annointed Psycho Stabber I'm going to need to get for my Amara build).

The Eridium event starts tomorrow around midnight and lasts until next Tuesday, when a Twitch-themed one will begin, with the week after that presumably being when we get the first free DLC for the game, or perhaps a warm-up event that will lead into it.
