WoW UI changes make it harder to change our UI

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/10/31

If you thought we were going to talk about something other than changes coming toWoWinMidnightthis week, you must be new, so hi, welcome to the podcast. The UI changes, specifically the changes that make it harder for us to change our own UI, was front and center. The hosts talked about the accessibility issues this could present, but personally I just think Friz Quadrata is ugly and would prefer my fonts sans their serifs. One slightly more important, both valid, and both currently a much tougher

Player housing highs and Diablo 4 lows

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/10/24

Since Player Housing hit the PTR last week -- for a briefer time than any of us realized -- we had a lot of Housing-related stuff to talk about. Lots of community members took their testing time to do things like build huge mechs made out of wagons in the backyard. Neat! Player Housing just does a lot of stuff like that.But for every high there must be a low, and this week, that was the discussion ofDiablo 4changes, almost all of which our hosts felt negatively about. They got rid of the seasonal

Player Housing wishes and dreams

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/10/17

The three Blizzard Watch Podcast amigos had a ton ofMidnightnews to discuss this week. They would have had more housing stuff to discuss, but the public PTR that was going to let us finally dig in was unceremoniously yanked off the schedule with no ETA. Surprise, it was released late Thursday, and it's still ending an hour after this podcast gets posted. Welp!Unsurprisingly, Matt says the first thing he's going to do is to create a throne of Ashkandis, but note that there is no actual Ashkandi decor

Ask a Midnight alpha tester

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/10/10

Liz had the good fortune to make her way into theMidnightalpha, so this week's episode is a round of Ask A Beta Tester. Liz regaled us with discussion on the various housing plots available, some of how the talent changes and stat squish feels, plus what it looks like in a post-add onWoW(we're assuming more Friz Quadrata than we've opted for on the live servers).Also, you can feel the warmth in the room when they talk about how Valorstones are getting the axe. Bye, Felicia, literally nobody liked

Midnight Alpha is (really!) coming soon

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/09/26

This week, we got the announcement that the alpha forWorld of Warcraft's next expansionMidnightis beginning in just a few weeks. Blizzard ran down some of the content we'll be seeing and roughly when, which was a hot topic for the cohosts this week. Everything seems to be coming out October 2, from theMidnightalpha to Naxxramas in theWoW ClassicAnniversary realms to the next season ofCritical Role.Diablo 4gave us a reprieve by being live already, with a few weirdly cute little guys to get from the

2025/09/12

This week our writer Christian Thoma joined the mayhem that is the Blizzard Watch Podcast. Speaking of mayhem and the Blizzard Watch Podcast, you may recall that last week's episode ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, as the hosts discovered that, while they were recording the podcast, Blizzard released 14 blog posts detailing all the announcements that happened at Gamescom. This week, they discussed the highlights of all those posts, which made matters even more confusing as they contradicted some

The Midnight cinematic was released and we have thoughts

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/08/22

If you thought this week’s show would be entirely about thenewMidnighttrailerand the information we’re getting out of gamescom, you would be right. Site writer Rob Flanagan (who we all call Flan) joined Joe, Matt, and Liz to discuss the news, which included a heated discussion of Blood Elf lore, and whether we’ll miss our ol Delving buddy Brann. It’s a split house on almost every topic this week, so expect to explore a lot of different perspectives — with one notable exception. That sole exception

Tazavesh is the best city ever, and more WoW patch...

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/08/15

This week our host is our special guest, Liz Patt, who has a lot of opinions onDiablo, but she's also here for a discussion of patch 11.2. The team love Tazavesh, 10/10 city, no notes, though they remain a little skeptical of Broker culinary pursuits. We also looked at the Race to World First, which is underway as raid guilds contend to see who can get the first Mythic kill of Dimensius. Plus, General Manager Rod Fergusson has leftDiablo, and we aren't quite sure what that means for the series. And

As Ghosts of K'aresh releases, what's up next?

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/08/08

This week patch 11.2 finally released, and we have the rundown of all the features for you, including the new World Boss, which was up this week -- surprise! We have a lot of opinions on the new Delve and dungeon and raid their collective lack of smooth Goblin jazz. We especially have thoughts on the new Cooldown Manager, which is slightly less "as seen on Temu." Plus, as the servers came up, some people got to see the perks for the different pre-orders forMidnight, some of which include Player

And now for even more player housing news

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/07/18

Player Housing was up first in the lineup of topics for this show, because of course it is. Every bit of new info we get, we're excited about -- though Joe is a bit concerned about the concept of leveling up our house. There are a bunch of new appearances to get across a number of franchises, too. Plus, how many legs does a crocolisk have to have in order to be classed as a crocolisk, anyhow? A spirited debate over the new six month subscription incentive ensues. A big thank you to our special guest

Goodbye Warcraft Rumble

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/07/11

Ghosts of K'aresh and its newly announced release date were the first topic in this week's Blizzard Watch Podcast, which is likely to be the final patch for this expansion. Story spoilers weren't shared, but we are excited to find out where we're going next. Our guest host Cory joined us since he's one of our residentWarcraft Rumbleexperts, and unfortunately that skill set is considerably less in demand since we got wordRumbleis in maintenance mode. And it just wouldn't be a Blizzard Watch Podcast

Too much transmog, too little time

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/07/04

This week's Blizzard Watch Podcast begins with a discussion of several of the raccoons currently in theWoWtrenchcoat --Mists of Pandaria Classicis imminent, and there's a whole bunch of new stuff coming to retailWoW, from the Trading Post seasonal turnover to the Greedy Emissary event. And the best news is, almost all of it involves adding to our transmog collections in one way or another. The nextDiablo 4season started, and while we're still pretty cold on the whole new Reliquary system we are

Our Summer Game Fest faves

2025/06/13

While we did want to discuss some Blizzard news this week -- including the frankly hilarious Dastardly Duos shirt bug -- the biggest news of the week was the reams of announcements and trailers that came out of Summer Game Fest. FromThe Outer Worlds 2to Failbetter's next offering, the farm simMandrake, toRelooted, a hate letter to the British Museum, there were games on display for tons of different playstyles and genres and vibes. We ran through some of our favorite games and showcases, because man

This week our writer Nick Marino joined the lineup to talk aboutWoW Classic-- several iterations of it. Joyous Journeys is coming back toCata Classic,Mists Classicis launching soon, and Season of Discovery servers will keep on truckin', even if all the Discoveries have already been Discovered.

The calculus of Diablo's seasons

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/05/09

The Infinite Pirate Dragon is, of course, the top story this week on the Blizzard Watch Podcast. It comes in patch 11.1.7 as a part of Turbulent Timeways, and while we're unsure that it has anything to do with the Arathi narratively, that's what headcanon is for. Our residentDiabloexpert Liz Patt joined our regular hosts Matt, Liz, and Joe to explain the mess that is theDiablo 3seasonal rotation, and also the mess that isDiablo 4's new season and its many,manycurrencies.We'll wade through rivers of

Truly, transmog is the endgame of all things

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/05/02

Our hosts Liz and Joe were joined by our writer Eric O'Dea to discuss all the wacky hijinks they got into this year, as they drag an orphan into havoc and harm. That's right, it's Childrens' Week in World of Warcraft! And of course the reason we'd willingly interact with children is the fact that there's transmog on the line. Transmog is also on the line in the new Trading Post for May. We got a new preview of decor for our Player Housing, which, when you think about it, is really just transmog for

Elder Scrolls Oblivion is just one game we wish would...

2025/04/25

Cory Taylor joins our usual hosts for this week's cotillion of a podcast, and the first thing on the agenda is to remind people to get their Noblegarden ducky costume! Transmog and costuming is very important to us. But, then we get into the usual topic du jour when Cory joins the crew: howHeroes of the Stormis primed for a comeback. Cory, as usual, makes a very compelling argument that Blizzard's MOBA is just sleeping on a farm upstate and is definitely making a triumphant return anytime now, for

WoW Classic goes from #SomeChanges to a whole new raid

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/04/11

Patch 11.1.5 forWorld of Warcraftwas just announced as coming out April 22, so that leads the podcast this week — even if it may seem fast to some of our hosts. Our writer Nick Marino joined us this week because he’s our go-to staffer forWoW Classicnews, and Season of Discovery phase 8 kicked off today with a whole lot of brand new content. Seems a little weird, but as long as it’s fun. Plus, despite it being April, theDiablo 4team just put out a roadmap for 2025 which includes a ton of new content

Hearthstone's new expansionInto the Emerald Dreamwas our lead story this week, as the two sides don't seem all that well balanced between good and morally gray, let's say. The team also discusses the morality of the character restores coming to OnlyFangs and other WoW Classic Hardcore players after a DDOS KOed their dreams of glory.Plus,Slay the Princessis one of several games up for a Nebula Award -- but that name has to be a typo, right?If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where

BlizzCon bound, baby! (in 2026, anyway)

Blizzard Watch ·

2025/03/14

Joe started off the podcast this week eating crow as he reflected on his prior assertion that BlizzCon would never happen again. But, Blizzard announced thatBlizzCon returns September 12-13 2026. He's not mad at all, just surprised -- as all our hosts were.After that, it's a little tough to focus on everything else that happened this week. The Race to World First is still on in Liberation of Undermine, Brann getting a nerf in Delves -- but, come on, BlizzCon! The chat aboutDiablo 4's announced
