I am no longer working at Blizzard on the WoW Classic team as a QA Test Analyst. This entire time I technically have been a QA Analyst, but I had applied for an internal program for a Temporary Assignment to be reassigned to Design and contributed there for a few months before going back to QA recently. After multiple interviews, I am now working at Blizzard on the WoW Classic team as a mid-level Game Designer🙏 I appreciate the recognition of my contributions in the form of a job title change and promotion at the same time. A massive thanks to my colleagues and to the community for playing the game and providing feedback.

Usually don't push these things to front and center, but the comments on this are a great example as to why many devs don't interact. You can't even ask questions to get perspective without people assuming you haven't already considered their answer and that you must be stupid.

Replying to @ElliottVenczel @AggrendWoW
Just a few questions: - Vs a single Rogue, is this not countered by having defenders stand away from each other? Me on Flag, you 30 yards away. If you get sapped, I move off flag, if I get sapped you move back a little. - Is Ninja capping not the Rogue's 'thing' in 2/4 BGs? 1/3

Juat to be clear as well - this doesn't offend me and I definitely don't take it personally. But I know that not everyone has spent as much time as I have on twitter/x and been in public's eye before. Interacting with the community is not something devs are paid to do either 1/2

So it is almost always by our own volition that we post something publicly, especially if it's a casual conversation or question. So it should be no mystery when many devs are met with such an outraged response for a question would decide to not venture that path again. 2/2

The sandstorm weather effects they added to Tanaris are phenomenal. I do think we're in good hands with WoW Forever.

With the latest Feral changes in WoW Forever, powershifting is now… Shifting Power — a nice tribute from @Zirene to the OG Feral players who pioneered the tech. To give people a better feel for how Forever Feral actually plays, I built what might be the stupidest/coolest tool I’ve made so far: a web/mobile practice simulator. miao.tips/practice?lang=en Feel free to send feedback, and enjoy the real S tier spec in WoW Forever.
