The Workshop - Create Game Modes + Heroes (Dev Update, Patch) There's a huge new feature coming to Overwatch and it's already on the PTR! Jeff Kaplan goes into detail on the Workshop, where you can make your own custom game modes, but also "prototype your own Heroes". It seems this new feature is similar to the StarCraft 2 Arcade, which is amazing, as we've had some really great custom modes come out of that (not to mention the all time best "mod", DotA, which came from WC3). The potential here is huge and it'll be very exciting to see what players come up with, especially in regards to the possible different Hero prototypes.

Pieces Take the World First on Restless Cabal Well, it seems Crucible of Storms may yet be one for the books! We have our first World First of the raid, and it's a very special one. Pieces have managed to grab the kill on the Restless Cabal and clear 50% of the raid, ahead of both Limit and Method. This is a pretty big deal as we haven't had a new contender for the World First title in quite a while, especially not from the EU. And while guilds such as Wildcard Gaming and Big Dumb Guild have gotten plenty of WFs in the past, it was only on early bosses with the NA advantage. So for a EU guild to break through and take the boss down, while Limit sit at 9%/7% with their headstart, and Method at 14% and 22%, is incredibly impressive.

Crucible of Storms M Race Day 1: Cabal Lives! Day 1 of the race may have technically been uneventful, but it was plenty important. Crucible was expected to be a very quick race, with the NA advantage proving insurmountable due to the raid's assumed short duration. The Restless Cabal is aiming to disprove that theory, as it's been resisting NA top guilds' best attempts. Limit, Big Dumb Guild and Wildcard Gaming have been going at it since around 5-6 PM CEST yesterday, with Limit having stopped raiding at 8 AM today.

This Week in WoW: April 23rd Crucile of Storms is now available on Mythic & Raid Finder difficulty. This week's events include Noblegarden, Volunteer Guard Day, and the world quest bonus event. World of Warcraft WoW Yesterday at 21:08 by Stan

Crucible of Storms Mythic Progress Race Hub The Crucible of Storms Mythic race started today with NA guilds having started their day around 4 hours ago. There were some authentification server issues, but they were resolved within an hour and the first boss, the Restless Cabal, has survived so far. We have Limit at 43 attempts with their best at 39%/46% on the two bosses, so at least the first boss isn't quite as much of a pushover as the others in the larger raids.

While Crucible only has two bosses, the race is really only about the final boss, as we saw in Battle of Dazar'alor, where all 8 pre-Jaina bosses were defeated in two days but she still made it to the very end of the first week. Blizzard have stated that the tuning on Uu'nat is supposed to be on the same level as Jaina, but it's slightly unclear if they meant today's Jaina, after all the nerfs and with the huge item level bump from a fully cleared and farmed Dazar'alor or if they meant the difficulty of Jaina while the top guilds were progressing on her back in February.

Vulpera Coming in Patch 8.2.5?
