<p>We very wisely started off the podcast this week with all the <em>other</em> news. There's a new <em>Hearthstone </em>Battlegrounds season that just started, with a fun new mechanic which is actually pretty similar to Trinkets, if we think about it, but we can play as Chromie so everything else is irrelevant. Plus, there's an upcoming <em>Diablo 4</em> season, and a potential announcement for the franchise at The Game Awards, with a bizarre statue in the California desert.</p><br><p>And then, we finally got to talking about the most anticipated patch to hit <em>WoW</em>, perhaps ever. It wasn't without its foibles -- as our guest host Flan noted, some of these decor items are weirdly expensive in old mats, like arcanite bars. It's even more expensive in lumber, which had our hosts going all over the map to collect. And for each little item you want to place, you need to collect more and more of these things. It's a wonder they had time for the show this week.</p><p>If you have a few minutes, please <a href="http://bit.ly/blizzardwatchpodcast-survey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fill out our survey</a> to tell us what you think about the podcast.
