Blizzard Designer Talks About Porting Hearthstone to Nintendo Switch Porting Hearthstone to the Nintendo Switch is a �discussion worth having� according to at least one Blizzard designer. Principal game designer for Hearthstone Mike Donais spoke briefly on the subject in an interview recently. While Blizzard�s made clear in recent months that there�s no officially announced plans to bring Hearthstone to Nintendo�s new console, the platform�s launch success might have changed things. Donais, speaking for himself, agrees. For Donais, however, it�s less about the Nintendo Switch�s success than it is about what just makes sense. He notes that Hearthstone is already available on both iPads, or tablets, and phones. Why wouldn�t Hearthstone on the Nintendo Switch also work? Of course, the Nintendo Switch doesn�t have cellular network connectivity for playing on the go and who knows how a complicated online game would work with Nintendo�s new online services. Nevetheless, Hearthstone just make...

Blizzard is Handing Out Seven Days of Free WoW Game Time to Past Subscribers Yesterday afternoon the following email showed up in my inbox from Newsletter@email.blizzard.com: Nothing too exciting, right? Blizzard has done this in the past and I remember receiving a similar offer when Cataclysm was released a couple of years ago. I was an active WoW subscriber for almost four years--as Ive mentioned previously--and it always seems like Blizzard tries to reel me back in every few months. Things got interesting when I mentioned the email to a friend. He hadnt received one. Cue the alarm bells. The safe bet with anything game-account-related in an email is to ignore any link provided and log into the games website yourself. Upon logging into the Battle.net site I wasnt greeted with anything special and couldnt find any mention of this supposed promotion. Gmail delivered the email to my normal inbox; it looked 100% legit and as far as I could tell the email header checked out. "Newslet...

Blizzard to Add Unobtainable Transmogs to New World of Warcraft Transmog UI Avid transmog collectors and those with money to blow can benefit from this change. If you�re concerned about transmog sets that can no longer be acquired in the game, Blizzard has made plans to add their appearance back in the game. During the weekly Q&A session, Blizzard acknowledged that the transmog set UI would come in 7.2, which will show you the unobtainable transmog sets in the game.   �In Patch 7.2, the transmog set UI is coming and Blizzard realized there were tons of missing pieces as they put the system together. With the transmog set UI complete, Blizzard now has a comprehensive list of appearances that aren�t collectible in the game. They need to find the right time and place to bring back each appearance.� In recent times, Blizzard has tried to compromise with the playerbase by making unobtainable transmogs available through reskinning certain gear. However, the effect is not the same and...

Blizzard Diablo III To Be Playable on PS3 and XBox360 Alright. It seems that quite a few comments from my last post ( Did Blizzard get Hit by Their Own Banstick? ) told me that folks are extremely gung ho about Blizzard not getting hacked. Maybe so, maybe no. Did it happen or did it not? All I do know for sure is they are still having issues as of today... @BlizzardCS just tweeted about problems with the "name change". Still bugs...Blizzard seems that they just keep "hacking" away at them. Pun Intended... Anyways, heres another conspiracy theory, let the flames begin: Gamasutra . Kinda like a Monster or CareerBuilder for the gaming industry. Well Blizz recently posted a position for a "Senior Software Engineer Console Network". Hear that? CONSOLE NETWORK. Now this is cut and paste from the site: Blizzard Entertainment is seeking an enthusiastic software engineer to be a key contributor on the Diablo team . This position is responsible for ensuring the b...

BlueProximity Awesome application to lock screen as you leave Computer I spend most of my time in Embedded Systems and Wireless Sensor Network lab of the university where I am studying, there are many research engineers as well as Phd students there who work there, as well as assistant, it is a collaborative environment and frequently I move in and out of the lab and for privacy I keep my screen locked when I leave desk. This sometimes gets very irritating, having to lock screen, type in password to unlock as you come back to terminal, I often thought tool like the ones we use to change presentation could be very useful to lock/unlock screen remotely as you leave Desk. BlueProximity is ideal tool for such scenarios, BlueProximity is a very neat, clever little application available for Ubuntu and other GNU/Linux operating systems,that allows you to lock screen as you ( carrying Mobile Phone which is paired to your Linux machine) move certain meters away from the terminal for a duration ...

Blizzard Shifts Developers from Titan to the Diablo III Expansion Blizzard Entertainment is shifting 70 developers from its next-generation MMO Titan to other teams which include the Diablo III expansion. According to VentureBeat, Blizzard has stated that Titan needs more core development and that it will take at least another 3 years (2016) for the game to be complete. Here is a statement from Blizzard about Titan: Weve always had a highly iterative development process, and the unannounced MMO is no exception. Weve come to a point where we need to make some large design and technology changes to the game. Were using this opportunity to shift some of our resources to assist with other projects while the core team adapts our technology and tools to accommodate these new changes. Note that we havent announced any dates for the MMO. It looks like the Diablo III expansion may not be that far away now, and with all these new developers working on it, maybe it can be the next LoD? Guess we w...

Blizzard to Shut Down Diablo 3 Auction House on March 18 2014 Blizzard has decided to shut down the Diablo 3 auction house! Below is the full announcement: When we initially designed and implemented the auction houses, the driving goal was to provide a convenient and secure system for trades. But as weve mentioned on different occasions, it became increasingly clear that despite the benefits of the AH system and the fact that many players around the world use it, it ultimately undermines Diablos core game play: kill monsters to get cool loot. With that in mind, we want to let everyone know that weve decided to remove the gold and real-money auction house system from Diablo III. We feel that this move along with the Loot 2.0 system being developed concurrently with Reaper of Souls� will result in a much more rewarding game experience for our players.  Were working out the details of how the auction house system will be shut down, but we wanted to share the news as soon as we made th...
