World of Warcraft's next major patch will let you drift in a car '4 to 5 times faster' than a normal ground mount, all while learning 'more about goblin culture than ever before' (www.pcgamer.com)

I came back recently too and honestly it feels great. Having so much fun. They don't have the frustrating gimmicks that defined previous expansions, the new talent trees are really well made, the gear drops are fun and interesting.

It's a bit worrying for me to be getting pulled into wow again, I thought I was safe...

Yeah it's not flawless by any means but they have been receptive to fan "demands" and are being uncharacteristically transparent about it. Like making everything cross-faction is a huge project and they were upfront about the initial jankiness and the inevitable slow rollout. Right now the only things that haven't been made cross-faction/realm are LFG/LFR and mail.

You can really feel that Kotick is gone and that the devs are actually excited to work on stuff. It's very telling that so many old players who swore it off are back for TWW and loving it - including my friend who quit for FF14.

My only real gripes with the game are with the engine and I imagine they're a lot harder to fix...but I would be smitten if shit like trees and awnings would stop blocking my camera in dungeons. And if ground effects didn't clip into the terrain.
