HandyNotes: Visions of N'Zoth is a great addon, mainly for Assaults in Patch 8.3. It displays all the necessary information conveniently on the map. 1 comment Yesterday at 20:03 by Stan

Diablo 1 Playable in 4K (The Hell 2 Mod)

We a very big or very small thing to check out today, depending on how you look at it, with the original Diablo-like being presented and playable in 4k, inside the highly modified "The Hell 2" mod. You might be thinking that would look weird and "playable" is a subjective term... and you'd be right! You can actually see the entirety of the Tristram map in one screen in 4k, as well as huge chunks of the dungeon maps (also I'll issue a "feels" warning here: the best game music of all time plays in the video below, so prepare accordingly): 1 comment Yesterday at 15:45 by Starym

All Blizzard Esports To Be Streamed Exclusively on Youtube

Activision Blizzard released a statement today announcing a multi-year "strategic relationship to power new player experiences" with Google. While this deal includes Google Cloud being the main host of the companies game infrastructure, the more immediate effect of it is that all Activision Blizzard esports will now be exclusively streamed on Youtube. This includes the Overwatch League, Call of Duty League, Hearthstone Esports, both Arena and MDI WoW coverage and more. 8 comments Yesterday at 02:21 by Starym

Patch 8.3 and Classic Hotfixes: January 24th

4 days running now, we have a new batch of 8.3 hotfixes including a couple of changes to the N'Zoth encounter, more corrupted item tweaks, no more cloaks from emissary caches and more. We also get one of the announced Classic AV changes with honorless targets no longer being lootable. Yesterday at 00:30 by Starym

Lunar Festival (January 24th - February 7th)

Lunar Festival is back and we have a new quest line this year that lets you transmogrify your flower crowns all-year-round. Jan 24, 2020 at 17:21 by Stan

The big hotfix lists continue today as we're in day 3 of the streak. We have raid fixes for the final two bosses of Ny'alotha, focusing on some legendary cloak issues and N'Zoth sanity issues, corrupted item damage now scales with their item level instead of a players attack or spell power, a Vulpera racial fix and more!

The Lash of the Void corrupted item tweak they announced earlier isn't listed here with the the others though, so it's unclear if the hotfix isn't in the game or it was just not added to these notes. 1 comment Jan 24, 2020 at 03:31 by Starym

The damage done by Infinite Stars, Twisted Appendages, and Gushing Wound will be based on the item level of the Corrupted Item instead of scaling dynamically with Attack Power and Spell Power. Lash of the Void damage received the same treatment and now procs less often than it used to. 3 comments Jan 24, 2020 at 03:24 by Stan

Legendary Weapons Transmogrification Guides for Visions of NZoth

In Patch 8.3, you can use Legendary weapons for transmogrification with the exception of the Warglaives of Azzinoth. We've updated our guides section with an overview of all Legendary weapons that are currently available for transmog along with individual guides on how to get them. 2 comments Jan 23, 2020 at 22:17 by Stan

We have some hotfix changes to the rewards coming from the end-chest in Mechagon Junkyard and Workshop in Mythic+, with them guaranteed to contain either Engine of Mecha-Perfection, or Blueprint: Perfectly Timed Differential, or Progression Sprockets for Vision of Perfection.

Upcoming Alterac Valley Changes in WoW Classic

Blizzard announced a series of improvements coming to Alterac Valley in the near future in WoW Classic. 2 comments Jan 23, 2020 at 19:13 by Stan

A smaller batch of 8.3 hotfixes today, but still pretty big, especially on the quests side of things. We get an Il'gynoth phase 2 transition raid fix, some class tweaks, and many quest changes, especially to Horrific Vision dailies, increasing their rewards significantly, as we mentioned already, the display bug for War Mode rewards has been fixed and a whole lot more.

The Absolute Best WoW Story in 1.5 Minutes Video Ever

This is a classic in the making. Aside from just going over all the major events/expansions, the video delves deep into the nuances of Horde-Allaince relations throughout the years, portraying the ups and downs of the faction conflict almost perfectly. I can't say enough good things about the in-depth and thoughtful portrayal of WoW's history and Blizzard's thoroughly consistent writing throughout. Enjoy: 11 comments Jan 23, 2020 at 00:08 by Starym

Heroic Darkshore Warfront Now Available on EU Realms

Despite being mid-attack for Horde, the Heroic Darkshore Warfront opened on European realms with the start of Season 4 which was not intended, but Blizzard decided to carry on with it in the region instead of disabling it. 1 comment Jan 23, 2020 at 00:01 by Stan

Delayed Auction House Mal Hotfix: January 22nd

Since the introduction of the new Auction House in Patch 8.3, we've seen bugs pertaining to delayed Auction House mail. Blizzard posted an update on the matter and it turns out the issue is fixed on Americas realms with the same fix coming to European realms in approximately three hours. Jan 22, 2020 at 23:39 by Stan

Visions of NZoth Daily Quests Rewards Increased via Hotfix

We noticed earlier today that 8.3 daily quests offered better rewards on EU realms. Blizzard confirmed this was intended and that they've increased the rewards from the Visions of N'Zoth daily quests with the daily reset in each region, but the change was omitted from the latest hotfixes. 4 comments Jan 22, 2020 at 17:43 by Stan

Daily Quests Now Award More Reputation & Coalescing Visions

For some odd reason, daily quests have been buffed and now award 125 reputation (up from 75) and 250 Coalescing Visions (up from 50). 3 comments Jan 22, 2020 at 14:29 by Stan

How to Get the Rajani Warserpent Mount in Visions of NZoth

Rajani Warserpent is a new mount sold by the Rajani Quartermaster for 1 Pristine Cloud Serpent Scale. Up until now, we didn't know where the scale drops from, but it turns out it's from a Rare Elite called Rei Lun that spawns during Warring Clans Assault on the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. 7 comments Jan 22, 2020 at 13:21 by Stan

We have some truly giant hotfixes for you today, with some Vulpera fixes, Vale Assault tweaks, adjustments to DKs, Druids, Hunters and Monks, as well as the expected raid fixes (including the bosses now rewarding artifact power properly), Infinite Stars takes another 25% hit and more! 1 comment Jan 22, 2020 at 03:15 by Starym

Nyalotha Raid Cinematics: Wrathion & Raid Finale Cutscene

Ny'alotha opened today and we have two cinematics. The first one plays just before the penultimate boss and we see Wrathion and N'Zoth. The second one involves your character and the Kamehameha-esque destruction of N'Zoth. 12 comments Jan 21, 2020 at 23:41 by Stan

Diablo 2 Upscale Final Demo Working In-Browser

We've already talked about the fan-made Diablo 2 AI upscale project run by redditor zomprd and took a look at some still images and creature models, but today we have his finished demo to check out! His second and final version of the browser-based sample shows off the Rogue Encampment with an Assassin walking around the place. You can also switch back and forth from the original game look and the new upscale, just to see what exactly has changed. Also, if you've ever really waned to walk around in the stream in the encampment, you can! 2 comments Jan 21, 2020 at 19:59 by Starym

Heroic Darkshore Warfront Availability in Season 4

Blizzard explained why Darkshore isn't available on Heroic difficulty today. The option to queue for it will become available the next time a certain faction attacks the zone in a given region in Season 4. 2 comments Jan 21, 2020 at 19:05 by Stan

The final raid of the expansion opens today on Normal and Heroic difficulties, so check out our Ny'alotha raid guides to get started. Jan 21, 2020 at 18:42 by Stan

Over the weekend we found out that the War Mode bonus for 8.3 daily quest has been disabled since Thursday the 16th due to a separate issue that had to be fixed, and today it seems that has been resolved as the bonus should be working normally - however the display for it will still show the non-bonus amounts.

Visions of NZoth Season 4 Start: What to Expect?

Most of the 8.3 content will be enabled after maintenance and here's a rundown of what to expect today. Jan 21, 2020 at 13:03 by Stan

Auction House Mail Issues and Clarification

Blizzard have clarified that the mail issues with the Auction House won't affect players in the long-term, aka you don't have to worry your mails will expire. They're working on fixing the newly found issues and it will probably take them a few days. You can check out all the recently added issues at the bottom. 1 comment Jan 20, 2020 at 16:16 by Starym

War Mode Bonus from 8.3 Daily Quests Removed Temporarily

As some players have already noticed, we got confirmation today that War Mode bonuses for Visions of N'Zoth daily quests have been disabled since Thursday. This was done due to a separate issue that will hopefully be resolved in the coming days, when the bonus will be restored. 9 comments Jan 19, 2020 at 20:37 by Starym

We've seen plenty of fan art imagining new class sets, especially since each class is no longer getting their own unique ones, but today we're going back to basics as redditor Anna_Richter took the first ever WoW raid sets and made them her own. 2 comments Jan 19, 2020 at 15:04 by Starym

Mists of Pandaria and WC3: Reforged 8K Upscaled Cinematics

There's more AI upscales incoming, with one pretty cool one and another weird one as well. MoP got the much-deserved higher res version, especially appropriate since 8.3 has us going back to Pandaria, while the Reforged video is doubly weird as it's already a remaster of the original so we're 3 layers deep here. Both also have an additional upgrade to the originals: they're running at 60 fps. 1 comment Jan 19, 2020 at 08:00 by Starym

Diablo 2 Median XL Mod Patch 1.40 Released

We've recently talked about the Path of Diablo mod that improves the game by adding and tuning some skills items and features, but still keeps things as close as possible to the original (LoD) version of the game (and the new season that's come out for it recently). Today we have a new and huge patch for probably the best, biggest and most popular mod for D2 out there, Median XL (or Median XL: Sigma as the more recent versions have been called).

Calling it a mod might be a bit of an understatement, however, as it's basically a complete overhaul and rework, with massive amounts of new skills (35 new ones PER CLASS), items (thousands, crafting), mechanics, content (40 endgame quests, new zones like Heaven and one quest actually has you traveling back in time and playing as Diablo while trying to defeat the Bear Tribe in order to break into the Worldstone Chamber. No, seriously.) 3 comments Jan 18, 2020 at 07:43 by Starym
