Very true. With how many new things they add each patch (including .5 and .7 patches) it makes it unfun to be a collector. Also the marl and similar currencies from previous expansions is annoying. Unless you are playing many characters for the whole expansion how are you supposed to get all the items? Maybe just add a way to sell/buy marl at the end of the expansion?

One of the most popular things to do in Retail WoW is collecting things.
Over the years, the sheer amount of mounts, pets, xmog, etc has gotten a little out of hand and has given many players “collector’s fatigue.”
@towelthetank talks a bit about this and goes into the specifics of Midnight, commenting on the simultaneously run events which all offer collectible items.

I can finally talk about Mass Effect Universe.
Since Bioware closed I can now reveal that I was part of the Mass Effect Council, saw what BioWare was building, and provided feedback during development.
• Set 600+ years after the Reaper War
• You play as a customizable N7 agent
• Instead of being a walking gun rack, you're a cross between John Wick and James Bond
• Shepard's legacy preserved, regardless of your ending
• A galaxy divided into three major factions
• Humanity, Krogan, Batarians, and more allied together
• Council races forming their own alliance
• The Geth emerging as a third superpower
• A galactic Cold War instead of another Reaper style invasion with a shadowy adversary
• Geth-built megastructures
• Connections between the Milky Way and Andromeda
• Experimental technology implanted in you as a unique point of difference
• Hacking and manipulating the environment
• See through walls, identify systems, remotely trigger hazards and more
• Handcrafted missions like ME1-3
• But with Hitman-style freedom in how you complete them
• Brutal close-range executions
• Squadmates who can clash with each other
• Romance wasn't being sanitised
• Liara returns - now an incredibly powerful Asari Matriarch
From what I saw, BioWare was making Mass Effect for us, the fans, not for people who don't exist.
It looked incredible.
And now we may never get to play it.

The source was wrong.
The STUDIOS budget for ALL GAMES was 400-500m. Any journalist using a leaked number is conflating the entire studios budget with E-Day.
The budget includes the remaster and support of other titles, like Avowed on Unreal Engine.
A source tells Kotaku that Gears of War: E-Day cost over $500 million to make. Sales estimates have been weak despite earning the highest Metacritic score since the original trilogy.
If it was never going to recoup its expenses, maybe it could achieve more as an Xbox console exclusive kotaku.com/the-case-for-excl…

A purported BioWare developer has leaked a trailer for the cancelled ME 5 on Reddit.
The footage, reportedly titled "MASS EFFECT UNIVERSE," appears to suggest the project was further along in development.
Its authenticity remains unverified.

Dear Blizzard.
I'm begging you to end the 8-week patch cadence on World of Warcraft, and focus on quality instead.

The fact that female erections are just now entering the conversation at the same time as flying cars being released is also a perfect representation of how far behind we are in female health.

Shoutout again to our incredible social media and sound teams!
With weather in Wow Forever we wanted to do more than just simple rain. The sound team hooked us up with some pre-rain ambient sound (and much more). Before the rain starts to fall you can see the fog and clouds roll in and hear the rumble of distant thunder as the storm approaches.
From there, the rain has several stages of intensity and has a chance of culminating in a full on thunderstorm, lightning and all.

The glowing light inside every inn just became 10x more inviting ⛈️
Pre-storm weather and lightning strikes are live in the WoW: Forever Beta!

I reject any “release cadence is too quick” premise with these buggy patches. It’s been like this since DF
Whatever the reason(s) it’s on them to solve it. If they wanna keep pushing all the MTXs, 7 mil mounts etc etc then they need to figure it out
Forever looking like a game devs are overjoyed with creating. Where’s that vibe with retail.
Retail is an amazing rpg that’s probably funded a massive amount of Blizz’s projects over the years. Where’s the respect for it
