@support.blizzard.com I normally don't like tagging... But why are we allowing this menace to continue? He needs to go, he needs to be blacklisted and banned before he utterly taints everything you want WoW Forever to be. Take action, please.

Too much negativity lately! If any staff who worked on WoW Forever in any capacity want art of their WoW Forever character, shoot me a message and I'll make you a free sketch! ♾💕 Players- post a pic and I might do some sketches your chars too!☺️ #wowforever (+some sketches I already did!)

Man, Cataclysm really was the root of pretty much all the issues with themes and stories in the setting for the last 16 years, wasn't it.

I think a pass may need to be done to address the patchwork of writing quality in WoW, because the dissonance between things has become pretty marked. No one deserves to be fired, this is a pipeline issue, it feels like the writers aren't being allowed to talk to each other.

The largest influence when I write an OC is usually seeing art that triggers a desire to create something in that same niche, even somewhat. Sometimes it's even art I'm seeing for a second or third time after a while that sends me down the rabbit hole again.

Be on the lookout for my next book, "Val: Why Is That Mob Still Chasing Me, and Other Mysteries". It's the sequel to "Val: How Did I Even Aggro That?" and the prequel to the eagerly anticipated "Val: How Much HP Does This Random Mob Have?!"

In retrospect it's kind of weird how we got mount versions of almost every vehicle/riding animal in TWW except the little Arathi airships. We got several lynxes (though not nearly every variant), but the flight path airships were a no go despite being pretty simple in design.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Based on the ethereal mobs on Naigtal, I have concluded that what actually happened to K'aresh was Dimensius entered the standard K'areshi aggro range (roughly 50 light years) and they mobbed him en mass until he lost his temper.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

So much pro-AI stuff feels ideologically motivated instead of logical, especially in creative industries. "Look, see? We used AI here and it worked out and saved time!!" and it's something that would have taken maybe ten minutes to do normally.

"Then, instead of making Anima warbound transferable by itself, we made it so they can only transfer it in increments of 1000, and made THAT item warbound. Funniest shit I've ever seen." - Blizzard, probably.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Blizzard decided to give us the Warden xmog they did, while also keeping the toy that turns you into a more accurate version of a Warden a 20 minute duration on a 2 hour CD. I seriously do not get why they sprint away from iconic, recognizable Warcraft things in favour of worse replacements.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Sometimes I remember the Blizzard dev who came up with Daze as a mechanic likely still walks among us, and a great fear grips me.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Was it so hard to keep haranir as just weird self-important bat people? Dark Trolls that went underground and assigned themselves a job? They were cool then.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Very nice of Blizzard to create a tier set for 12.1 that drags me kicking and screaming back to nelf druid just as I was dipping my toes into Haranir druid. Very cool of them.

Sargeras killed the Titans because he saw they gave the Earthen men built-in receded hairlines despite literally being made of rocks.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

I think if they wanted Midnight to focus on Paladins versus Void, they really should have had Xal fucking with the various Paladin groups prior to the xpac. Scourge vs. Paladins is such an iconic match up that you forget the Scourge weren't their original enemies, because of how visceral it got.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

It's so funny to me that Island Expeditions were used as a 'get out of retcon free' card. Nearly every group that was said to have been wiped out shows up, so they have plausible deniability. "It's not a retcon, they were just on an island! With azerite!"

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

My worst nightmare is Blizz adding Blood Elf Druids and Dwarf Druids at the same time. My brain will fracture from indecision and I'll be left catatonic. Or I'll make both and agonize over time dedicated to either one.

Elowyn is seemingly very open, but at the same time rarely shows vulnerability. People will KNOW how she feels about something, loudly, to excess, with lots of flowery and dramatic words. But it's not always a totally sincere expression of how she feels or thinks about something personal.

030

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Just give us the normal Spellbreaker glaive that's been used by NPCs for years, Blizzard. As a sword. A one-handed sword. I promise the game won't break. Pinky swear.

020

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Definitely Elowyn. She has strong feelings about many (obscure) things, and isn't afraid to let her emotions take the wheel when it comes to any situation. Art by @avylone.bsky.social .

The change to Exile's Reach is one of the more baffling choices made recently. It was already pretty divorced from the rest of the world, and didn't do much for introduction, now it just flat out doesn't make any sense.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

The Amani using blunderbusses is so funny to me. Because you just /know/ that some hapless Farstriders got the scare of their lives the first time their arrow volleys were answered by what must have amounted to cannon fire.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

I think I can confidently say that, so far, Zul'aman is my favourite Midnight zone in terms of environment design. All of the zones are gorgeous, but the atmosphere of it in particular is just immaculate. Especially around Nalorakk's Prowl.

In retrospect it was perhaps a mistake to pick a fight with the one creature capable of giving me thalassaphobia whilst Abyss Angling.

Got an amazing art commission of my Blood Knight Trisscar, by @elliezeekaye.bsky.social ! First piece for the OC and it was knocked out of the park for sure.

Redoing the worgen starting zone for no particular reason and I'd forgotten how the Horde was just straight up on demon time during the entire saga.

Joke's on you Astalor, no one can cause me more anguish than myself. Picture unrelated.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

My hot take today is that BfA 'Alliance side' Darkshore doesn't even come close to matching the energy and vibes of original Darkshore. It's a very pretty zone and the eclipsed moon is cool but even Cata era Darkshore is more iconic.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

It was perhaps a mistake to design a home that will require upwards of a dozen Sin'dorei Winged Chaises to work properly. Possibly.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

One of the most diabolical things Blizz has done is create a new allied race (Earthen), give it all updated or more ornate versions of existing Dwarf/Dark Iron hair and beard styles, and then not giving said Dwarves/Dark Irons those customization options too.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Asira Dawnslayer is one of the pre-patch rares, which is really funny to me because it implies she survived being a dungeon boss, hid out for 15 years entirely free and clear, only to sign up to help Xal'atath and get immediately bodied for subpar loot.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

I see you put the Spellbreaker glaive in Warglaives, Blizzard. Put it in one-handed swords where it belongs...

I know next month's trading post is likely going to be Lunar Fest and Love Is In the Air stuff... but it would be really cool if it also had the belf guard set (and the glaives and shield) that the NPCs have been using for months and months. Just saying...

020

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

Would be very interested to know how Blizz devs determine what off-hands appear when sheathed and which ones don't. At this point I'm assuming they just have a dartboard to decide, some of these are the same model but one appears and the other doesn't.

The screeching you hear is me spending thousands of gold on rocks to make a natural cave system for the lair of an OC I might never RP.

Stapling together words from the list of confirmed Thalassian phrases to give my elves a mostly gibberish phrase in their profile that I can nevertheless pretend sounds cohesive.

I don't think Blizzard fully grasps the sheer number of Void Elf Demon Hunters using the hair over the eye style that will result if they don't give both them and Blood Elves at least a few new styles. I should know, I'll likely be one of them.

OC lore train! Explain your OC’s lore in the shittiest way possible. Odin as a shortstack dwarven heiress has middle child syndrome and earns parental approval via violence and trade deals.
