Magic: The Gathering’s recent set of Fallout-themed cards is the franchise’s “best-performing Commander set ever” said Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks. The announcement, made Wednesday during an earnings call with investors, brings attention to the potential of the trading card games’ ambitious Universes Beyond initiative. But it also highlights the risks of working with IP licensed from other companies.
Last-Minute Phase 3 Itemization Changes Including PvP Sets
04.04.2024 - 22:27 / wowhead.com
Late last night, Blizzard tweaked the itemization of some Phase 3 items, including the PvP sets, via hotfixes. We have documented the items that have received recent stat changes in this post.
SoD Phase 3 Overview
Aggrend on the Itemization Process
Senior Game Producer Aggrend also explained the itemization process on X, detailing how many items have their stats adjusted throughout the development process, including a batch of PvP items last night.
Aggrend
RE: Items this patch (as there are a LOT of them).
One thing I want to point out before we go live today is that a lot of the item stats datamined in the last week were not the final stats. Item design in classic is done largely by hand (as opposed to a more procedural design) and as a result, we tend to tinker and test with things throughout the development process, especially when we have the sheer volume of items we've added this phase. Those incremental changes aren't always reflected in datamining if they arrive via a last minute hotfix.
Keep that in mind as you make your BiS lists (or copying others' BiS lists). If you looked at a wowhead post or something last week showing off items, chances are good that the stats on the items you saw may have changed (and some items might not go live at all...).
Another thing to keep in mind is, not all items are perfectly optimized. This is, in fact, intentional. If all items had perfect itemization at 25, 40, 50, and even early on at 60, what would we do in successive raid tiers other than just make those same specific numbers go up slightly? Seems boring. We know what optimal looks like, we just might choose not to do it for a given item. Having some so-so items makes the really good items even more alluring and that's a very classic feeling.
If you have an add on that actually scrapes the in-game api or you use the script that lets you link an item in the db, those should mostly be accurate, though we did make a lot of adjustments late last night, particularly to the pvp sets and those may not be reflected in the client just yet.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's most painfully boring minigame was originally twice as tedious, but at the last minute Square decided "it might be stressful"

Pokemon Fans Hold On Until The Very Last Minute Before Online Services Closed
Yesterday was a sad day for 3DS and Wii U players as the online services went down for both of them. This is something that sadly happens with each console as they get older and age, especially with Nintendo – it just seems to always happen way too soon. With the Nintendo Switch already almost a decade old, we knew we’d watch the other consoles fall before a new one could go live, hopefully in 2025.
