World of Warcraft recently hotfixed the Hearthstone crossover event so Whizbang spawns the boss NPCs in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and Valdrakken simultaneously every hour. This should make farming the World of Warcraft event much easier than it was on the first day.

With the launch of Patch 10.2.6 approaching, Blizzard posted some changes to dungeons in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Season 4, which will up the difficulty and rewards for Heroic and Mythic dungeons.

The tables are set, the tavern is bustling, and the musicians are playing your favorite tune. Join the party as Hearthstone celebrates 10 years of card-filled fun and adventure with a variety of events in Hearthstone and World of Warcraft. By logging in to Hearthstone, you can also earn the Fiery Hearthsteed mount in World of Warcraft.

World of Warcraft began its celebration of Hearthstone’s 10-year anniversary, but the crossover event is so crowded that players are having trouble participating in it. With many of its features reminiscent of the Greedy Emissary collaboration for Diablo 4’s launch, this new World of Warcraft event is off to a rocky start.

With the Hearthstone 10th Anniversary Event event now active, players can fight iconic bosses for Hearthstone-themed loot in the faction capitals. We have mostly figured out the rotation and locations! For more information on the Hearthstone crossover event, please check our guide: Hearthstone's 10th Anniversary Event in World of Warcraft

As part of Hearthstone's 10th Anniversary celebration, WoW is receiving a cross-promotion including a free mount! Simply log into Hearthstone between March 11th and May 14th to receive the Fiery Hearthsteed. Hearthstone 10th Anniversary Guide

This Week in WoW we're getting announcements about Season 4 Dungeon changes, a development update and more Hero Talents!

The Hearthstone 10 Year Anniversary Event is now live in World of Warcraft, offering fun, games, and more importantly… prizes! Around every hour, Hearthstone minions will be summoned into the world, giving players who defeat them an opportunity to loot new cards, mounts, transmog, and more! For players who participated in the Diablo IV launch event, its a lot like hunting Treasure Goblins. Around every hour, genius toymaking inventor Whizbang will open a portal in Valdrakken, Stormwind, or Orgrimmar, spawning violent hearthstone minions! Players who defeat these creatures have a chance of looting random several varied rewards.Note: Although the bluepost states there is a lockout, players have reported successfully hopping shards for multiple chances of loot. Like the Diablo event though, these areas appear to be very laggy and the events don't consistently spawn at the same time.

Happy anniversary! Today, March 11, marks 10 years since the launch of Hearthstone. We’re celebrating with a Community Day and Patch 29.0, including the groundwork for Whizbang’s Workshop, the Core Set rotation, in-game rewards, and more!

World of Warcraft just set a dangerous precedent by putting Ash’adar, Harbinger of Dawn, the first free reward from the Trading Post, in the cash shop for a limited time. This has led World of Warcraft fans to fear the Trading Post is transforming into a FOMO nightmare due to monetization and exclusivity.

Xal’atath, the main villain of World of Warcraft: The War Within, may have just made her second appearance in Classic Season of Discovery. Though the Shadowy Figure’s agenda is currently shrouded in mystery, some World of Warcraft fans think she is planning something big in Season of Discovery that could link it to the next retail expansion.

World of Warcraft Classic has released a new update for Season of Discovery, which primarily deals with class tuning, but also makes some important changes to the Stranglethorn Vale boss. While it's safe to say that Season of Discovery has been a major success for World of Warcraft Classic, the experiment is still ongoing. Its premise has allowed the developers to reinvent the Classic experience, divided into five distinct phases, each being capped off with an endgame raid instance appropriate for its level cap.

World of Warcraft’s executive producer recently shared her thoughts on the lack of communication the game has had surrounding Patch 10.2.6. Though World of Warcraft sought to have some fun with the mysterious “Pirate Patch,” she recognized how frustrating the radio silence has been for players and content creators alike.

World of Warcraft recently banned a Hunter player for having a Carrion Bird pet that still used the default name. Though the bizarre scenario is comical in some ways, World of Warcraft fans were left puzzled and frustrated by the inexplicable ban.

World of Warcraft just improved Follower Dungeons by drastically increasing the daily instance limit and removing the experience penalty for teaming up with NPCs. Now, players can enter up to 50 Follower Dungeons a day in World of Warcraft, effectively removing all restrictions from the new feature.

Some World of Warcraft fans have pointed out that the Hero Talent trees coming in The War Within don’t give every playable race equal treatment. Though the new player power feature seems exciting at baseline, some World of Warcraft fans are worried the disparity of themes between Hero Talents like Elune's Chosen and the Herald of the Sun could become problematic.

Fans will need to recruit more World of Warcraft players for their raid teams come Phase 3, but once they reach the endgame, they will be able to challenge Molten Core with half as many people as they have historically.

World of Warcraft Classic is increasing the new 50% experience boost in Season of Discovery to 100% and applying it to all characters, regardless of level. This massive change is coming to World of Warcraft on March 5, and will make leveling up in Season of Discovery easier than ever before.

World of Warcraft Classic just teased some of the first details about how it would preserve characters and content from Season of Discovery after the experiment runs its course. Season of Discovery may not last forever, but World of Warcraft already has plans to keep some of the itemization from the popular Classic servers after the season ends.
