News Roundup: Flying in Draenor, Blue Posts, Talk Azeroth 30, Hearthstone Launch Comic
In today's roundup, we've got a
Noxychu
comic, co-written with
Khai'xur
, to celebrate the launch of Hearthstone, as well as all the information on flying in Draenor, some Throwback Thursday World of Warcraft history, and the latest Talk Azeroth.
Talk Azeroth Episode 30
This week we're taking a basic look at how to use resources like Skada and Recount, or World of Logs and Warcraft Logs to examine and improve your gameplay, as well as examining ways to record your gameplay, including a full setup tutorial on my preferred capture program, DXTory.
Flying in Draenor
Creative Director Alex Afrasiabi has caused quite a stir in a recent video interview where he talks, among other things, about flying in Draenor. While he's talking about the expansion having no flying at all "at ship", many have interpreted this as meaning that there will be no flying throughout the expansion. There have been a couple of blue posts

News Roundup: Talk Azeroth BlizzCon Edition, WoD Item and Stat Clarifications
Talk Azeroth With Olivia--BlizzCon Edition
Olivia's back after the roof blew off her studio, with a Talk Azeroth focusing on one of the biggest pieces of news to come out of BlizzCon, the changes in raid sizes. She's wondering just exactly what the impact will be on different guilds, from LFR right up to the controversial new Mythic raiding mode, as well as talking through a few of your responses to Talk Azeroth 17, and asking for your questions and views on Garrisons.

Talk Azeroth with Olivia - Episode 6: In-Game Store
This week on Talk Azeroth, Olivia tackles the hottest topic of the moment: in-game microtransactions. But first, she gives the viewer a very short French lesson -- the translation is directly after the intro -- and it's on with the show.
Olivia starts off by looking at the datamined item itself: the
不朽智慧药水
. Looking at
Bashiok's forum post
, she wonders whether it's really something that would qualify as pay-to-win, and considers that there are already similar items available within the game. She then takes a look at the mechanical side of an in-game store itself, and points out how it might affect players' immersion and in-game experience, as well as pointing out ways in which it might be made to work.
Then it's on to the meat of the problem: what is suitable for a cash shop and what isn't. Olivia would love your input on just exactly what you think is OK and what's not. She looks briefly at the psychology of it before hypothesizing about just what might come of the store in the future, and how the player base might react.

This weeks' show deals with some huge PvP news, the introduction of cross-realm arenas and the removal of teams. Olivia explains the existing system, as well as the changes, before thinking through the pros and cons of the new system, including flexibility, rating, rankings, MMR and potential exploits, as well as the camaraderie of teams and whether it's really important.

Talk Azeroth - Episode 04 - Arena Tie-Break System
This week Olivia takes a look at the proposed changes to the arena tie-break system. She starts off with a look at where we're at right now, explaining the current system, before running viewers through the new tie-break system, and then dives head-first into the potential issues with the systems old and new, while also examining why Blizzard decided to shift away from the old system in the first place.
The new system, she asserts, provides a fairer look at arena matches, likening them to boxing. The pugilistic metaphor continues as Olivia discusses how the current system is much like demanding a TKO to win any boxing match, while technical victories are completely absent.
However there is a downside, as Olivia explores, with the way the system changes the psychology of the arena, as players might look to play the system rather than play the game.

Talk Azeroth - Episode 03 - Virtual Realms and Flex Raids
This week's episode of Talk Azeroth with Olivia Grace is now live! She tackles two popular PTR topics--
Virtual Realms
and
Flex Raiding

She starts with a discussion of what we know so far about the new Virtual Realm feature coming in patch 5.4, discussing how it will affect and be affected by CRZ, along with its implications for PvP and PvE realms, smaller and larger realms, and the rest! There will undoubtedly, as she mentions, be an effect on auction houses, and chat channels, but Olivia suspects that it will all turn out rosy in the end.
Moving on to the next item on her agenda, Olivia talks about the recent additions to what we know about Talk Azeroth Episode 2's topic: Flex Raiding. Some Community Manager called Lore or something dropped the new earlier this week that there would be additional rewards available only to those who participated in raiding levels above LFR, and we wonder just exactly what that could be. Last up, it's lockouts. They're a bit crazy for flex raiding, and maybe make the new system a bit less flexible, O
