Blade's Edge Arena Update
Patch 7.1 is updating Nagrand Arena and it looks like a future patch will update Blade's Edge Arena! This is just an update to the visuals, leaving gameplay the same.


A new PVP map has been announced for World of @Warcraft! https://t.co/Y9ZfpnF36f

We started seeing data, in beta, that Jim was one of the deadliest NPCs, killing thousands of players (Muffinus)
Players exiting the dungeon, or players entering it for the quest, no one could escape the wrath of 10 Jims with massive damage mods (Muffinus)
I'm so glad he lives on, one of the wackier world bosses the encounter guys have made (Muffinus)
... Yeah, no offense, but the fight wasn't very enjoyable. Two of my friends are downright angry.
many hotfixes are going in! handling it! (Muffinus)

BlizzCon
Doing a panel at Blizzcon this year Design retrospective on pre-launch, Broken Shore, WQs and the future. Anything you want answered? (Muffinus)
And what warrants faster deployment of a hotfix. Like "o shi yeah this is broken, fix it ASAP" compared to "that can wait a bit"
Withered J'im has had 3-5 hotfixes today (Muffinus)

Totes this. Events that bring the realm(s) together are awesome.
.100 players flying out to defend Azeroth from Demons was perhaps the most best thing ever. (Muffinus)

Build of the Month
Each month or so we will post a couple of hardware setups for those of you who are thinking of upgrading their computer!

All of the parts on this page are Amazon affiliate links. When you purchase your parts through them it helps support the site!

This month
The current SSD prices are fairly flat right now, with most SSDs under $0.50 per gigabyte when on sale.

Depending on how much you want to overclock, you may need to spend a bit more for a better CPU cooler like the NH-D15.

Unless you are doing a lot of video rendering or streaming, you do not need the 6700K and should spend that money elsewhere.

Make sure to keep your AMD and Nvidia drivers up to date.

Don't forget to visit the Computer Forum for any extra questions!
