₴959 is the equivalent of $45 which is insane for 60 days of time.

So like... Not to be that guy but is Blizz sayin F it to "Stand with Ukraine?" Certainly pricing doesn't need to be that steep

$45 for 60 days?! That's ridiculous! I'm glad you're being that guy because somebody needs to say it. 

Maybe rethink your pricing blizz. Weird to raise the pricing in a country at war and leave the western world unchanged (for now). Maybe reduce what Ukrainian players pay and increase other regions to make up the difference? I would happily pay a bit more if they paid less. They certainly need more money.

(I only speak for my situation, a lot of people in the west are poor, underfed and undervalued. I think the UN said the the UK has a growing "beyond poor epidemic".)

Wow.   Sticking it to Ukrainians at this time?     It's like they can't help but generate some scathing bad PR bit once every couple months.

I may be wrong, but I think the real rub might be in the fact they're raising it on Ukraine PERIOD, regardless of how it compares to usd. Raise the price, sure - that's business. The timing is definitely..weird.

Haha, my friend you are so naive and/or lack a sense of exploits. Timeline of events:


2022 March: Blizzard announces a halt of sales in Russia and Belarus and stops accepting Russian rubels due to the Russian agression in Ukraine.

2022 April: Blizzard adds the Ukrainian hryvnia, the Kazakhstani tenge, the Georgian lari and the Turkish lira to the list of Battle.net currencies.

It's mostly not the Ukrainans who pay in hrivnya, but Russians who changed their Battle.net address to a neighbouring country. They allowed new currencies on purpose to serve their Russian playerbase, but these currencies were so weak that the risk managers probably did not like the massive volatility in exchange rates, so adjusted prices.

That's very interesting. I don't know if naive is necessarily warranted - I did not know this so a lack of knowledge on my part does not translate to naivety.

Thank you for sharing the information though. Context is everything!

I still stand by my point - happy to pay more for those that would benefit from paying less.

      Tama's Dragonflight Helper is a Weakaura that displays a weekly to-do list in the game and it's been updated for Dragonflight Season 4!
      The WeakAura is very useful for keeping track of everything in the game at max level. It shows you a to-do list with the weekly tasks, provides you with the locations of rares, super rares, information about your current Renown standing, and more.



      You will find Tama's Dragonflight Helper at wago.io. Please note that you must first download and install WeakAuras 2 to import the string.

      Cataclysm's Grim Batol has been added to the Mythic+ Dungeon rotation in The War Within Season 1, and one boss received a brand new model recently on the Alpha.
      General Umbriss, the first boss of the dungeon, got a shiny new model, which is quite different from his previous one. Below is a screenshot of the old a new model.

      Blizzard have announced that the item level issues with Timewalking Caches have been fixed and that affected players have received main with the replacement Cache.
      Timewalking (Source)
      Hello!
      Earlier this evening, we rolled out a fix-up for players who opened their Timewalking dungeon / Raid cache before 2:30 p.m. PDT today. Affected players have received an in-game mail with the cache replacement.
      Players who opened their cache after 2:30 p.m. PDT today should find that they received the intended reward(s).
      Thank you!

      Blizzard have clarified why players are able to get a full Spark of Awakening through the two available Splinters in the first week of Dragonflight Season 4, and it seems it's only for this week and only due to catch-up rules being enabled! 
      Splintered Spark (Source)
      Just want to confirm this with some details.
      Everyone essentially started Season 4 in catch-up mode. Players were able to get 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening from the weekly quest, whether that’s the weekly “Last Hurrah” quest or the PvP weeklies offered by Malicia.
      And then you’re able to get another splinter / half-spark from any valid catch-up sources, such as Mythic+, Awakened Raids, and PvP wins.
      Next week and thereafter, only one Splintered Spark is obtainable every week. And like Seasons 2 and 3, with the increasing cap on Splintered Sparks per week, and if you ever fall behind you will be able to get Splintered Sparks from any catch-up source.

      It seems there may be an easier way to obtain the Tusks of Mannoroth appearance during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event! 
      The tusks are one of the rarest transmogs in the game currently, even with the recently added Siege of Orgrimmar skip, as their drop rates are VERY low (0.1-0.3%, reportedly). As spotted by MrGM, the new Tusks of Mannoroth are a cosmetic appearance item added in the new limited time event. Now, some have suggested they may just be purchasable from the Bronze vendor (the currency that will drop off of pretty much anything in the event), making them pretty easy to get, but it seems there might be a different way to get them. 
      It's unclear whether the cosmetic will actually be purchasable or if it will drop somewhere else, but another interesting Mannoroth-related item was added as well, the Bones of Mannoroth, which may be related to the cosmetic.

      As you can see the bones are a stackable resource you gain from killing Garrosh, and it's looking like they're a way to guarantee the Tusk appearance with enough kills! Just how many drop is unclear, but assuming you need all 20 for the appearance and that Normal drops 1, Heroic 2 and Mythic 3 bones, it may take at least 7 weeks to get them. Now the number required might be/is likely to be lower than the 20  stack maximum, and we may get more bones per kill.
      But even at 7 weeks it's much, much easier to get than the current "hope for 0.3%" in retail, so it's still a pretty good deal! This may or may not upset players that farmed for the tusks for a long time the regular way, but there's a whole lot players that will be thrilled!
      The Remix: Mists of Pandaria event starts on May 16th and should last until August 19th.
