I am no longer working at Blizzard on the WoW Classic team as a QA Test Analyst.

This entire time I technically have been a QA Analyst, but I had applied for an internal program for a Temporary Assignment to be reassigned to Design and contributed there for a few months before going back to QA recently.

After multiple interviews, I am now working at Blizzard on the WoW Classic team as a mid-level Game Designer🙏

I appreciate the recognition of my contributions in the form of a job title change and promotion at the same time.
A massive thanks to my colleagues and to the community for playing the game and providing feedback.

My timeline is all WoW Forever, and I couldn't be happier.

So the WoW killer MMO is really just WoW

@ClaytonStone The snake is a different color for each Druid race, and when you prowl/stealth you slink down to the ground and slither 🐍

Turns out if you're a druid and get the full "of the Fang" set from Wailing Caverns, you turn into a serpent in Forever

Like okay hello??? I am in genuine awe with WoW forever

Blizzard...Are you kidding me? 🥵

Shoutout to the WoW devs! Full send on keeping secrets secret! Item data is staying obfuscated so nobody can datamine stats before they're actually discovered in-game, and the Mount Hyjal raid is fully encrypted until launch. \o/

No more spoiled loot tables, no more "solved" bosses before pulling one. Pure blind discovery again. This is how you protect the mystery!

Seeing lots of questions coming at me which is great! However, I'm specifically avoiding answering questions here on twitter...

Which is a good opportunity to mention that we have a Q&A this coming thursday!

If you've asked me a question here, chances are very good it'll be answered in that discussion. Looking forward to digging into that with all of you.

[Josh Greenfield @AggrendWoW]

Finished up with the con today and catching up on things now.

Seeing a lot of questions about a lot of things and luckily, we have a LOT of answers for you tomorrow in our Deep Dive and Found Photographs panels so be sure to check them out.

We’ll dig into a ton of specifics about the legacy system, camping, transmog, the new zones, new lore, and the skyborne and how they fit into the larger world. Lots of questions, lots of great answers!

Thanks for a great day one, blizzcon!

I'm so excited to have WoW: Forever revealed to the world. We’ve talked a lot in the past about a “Forever home” for classic fans who want more exciting new things in the vanilla WoW world. Not seasonal, not temporary… but forever. I’m so incredibly proud of the team that embarked on this journey with us, and the support that everyone at Blizzard has given the classic team to make this happen!

Everyone make sure to check out the What’s Next panel happening on the Main stage right now for an overview of everything in the game!

We'll also have a few panels tomorrow (9/13) digging deeper into the details as well:

-The Deep Dive panel on the Main Stage @ 10AM covers a lot of systems and our class design philosophies for WoW: Forever
-The Found Photographs panel on Main Stage @ 2PM covers more in-depth information on our content and narrative direction
-The Hardcore panel on the Warcraft stage @ 4PM covers the history of Hardcore and our plans for Hardcore for the future!

There’s going to be a TON of great info coming in hot over the next 2 days! Can’t wait to share it all with you. See you on November 4th!

I dunno about you guys, but I’m pretty excited. No particular reason, of course.

(Pending bg checks) I'll be joining Blizzard on the Warcraft team as a Senior Creative Copywriter!

I LOVE LOVE this world and the MMO (ignore parse) and I feel so lucky to join this team.

I wanted to wait until my Day 1 but I also wanna talk fans about why WoW slaps! pls DM!

[Aidan 'Zirene' Moon @Zirene]

@thenjry @MrGMYT Your initial impression does matter though. Few will separate the equips from the Chance on Hit. So most will look at this and think exactly what you said. It's good feedback that Equips can make things seem busier. Can thank WotLK agi items all having Attack Power on them.
