Introducing the Overwatch League

Image
The Overwatch League is Blizzards new eSport League where seasoned players compete against each other world wide. Each team in the League will represent a city and each team will encompass team owners, team players and each team will have their own structure. It's a lot and a bold venture that Blizzard is undertaking.

Overwatch - Introducing Sombre

Image
Blizzard has pulled the curtain back on their latest addition to the Overwatch roster. Sombra, an infiltrator with the the ability to cloak, teleport short range and hack enemy abilities and pickups. It would seem that she's out for her own sake and not interested in the motivations of others. Information is power as she puts it. I think I love her. As usual Blizzard has release a new gameplay video as well as an animated short to showoff Sombra. This announcement comes alongside the Overwatch League which I'll put in another post but Overwatch has a lot coming down the pipeline. --- Courtesy of Games News Network

Blizzcon 2013: Diablo III Reaper of Souls Expansion

Blizzard Entertainment is about to drop a lot of new features for players of Diablo III.  New game modes, new game systems, clans and group, and more. Check out the snazzy trailer below. The expansion is set to be released sometime in 2014.

Diablo III Gets Paragon System

Image
Blizzard isn't just giving you better improvements on legendary weapon and character class with the upcoming 1.0.4 patch. They are also introducing the Paragon system, this system lets players who've reached the level cap to still earn experience in the form of paragon levels. What are Paragon levels? Well these are levels that go from 1 to 100 and will award the player character with certain stat boosts as well as a 3% to gold and magic find. With this new addition patch 1.0.4 is looking like one hell of an update. This opens a whole new way for plays to tackle gold and item find with it maxing out at 300% once you hit the paragon level cap and adds hours of playtime. Dust off those level 60 characters.  For more information check out the official Diablo III Blog .

Blizzard Issues Apology to Players

Image
The wait for Diablo III was long and grueling. Blizzard gave games a taste while they waited but that did nothing to sedate their longing. When the game was finally released they were happy, that didn't last long. Many players were struck with error messages; the most notable Error 37, which I myself had the pleasure of meeting. As a result of these errors Blizzard has taken it upon themselves to issue an apology to everyone. Diablo Players: We’d like to extend a very sincere thank you to everyone who joined the global Diablo III launch celebrations this week, as well as to everyone who was ready to jump into Sanctuary the moment the game went live. To that end, we’d also like to say that we’ve been humbled by your enthusiasm -- and we sincerely regret that your crusade to bring down the Lord of Terror was thwarted not by mobs of demons, but by mortal infrastructure. As many of you are aware, technical issues occurring within hours after the game's launch led to players...
