Six months after its 2023 acquisition by Microsoft, it sounds like its business as usual at Blizzard. In an interview with VGC, World of Warcraft executive producer and vice president Holly Longdale said being a part of Microsoft has “just been helpful,” and that so far the new owners are taking a light touch.
“We got time with Helen Chang from Mojang, and we were sharing information, so it’s almost as if we have access to what worked for them,” Longdale said. “We got to speak to the Elder Scrolls Online team and share what we’re up to and what’s been working, it’s almost like we get a benefit.
“There’s no one asking us to do anything. World of Warcraft is doing very well and they’re very proud of what it’s been able to accomplish, so it’s almost like just let it be, and let it keep being awesome. They’ve been tremendously supportive and it’s like, ‘let Blizzard be Blizzard’.”
Longdale’s statement bears echoes of Microsoft’s hands-off approach to Bethesda Sof…
World of Warcraft: The War Within won’t be kicking off until August 26—but some of its marquee features, including Skyriding and Warbands, are going to be arriving early as per an announcement post by Blizzard on the game’s official website.
Landing July 23, The War Within pre-patch will see players answering “the Call of the Radiant Echoes”. This event has players battling across three zones in 90-minute cycles (which will get faster as the event goes on, as a catch-up mechanic).
During these events, you’ll need to put down echoes of past bosses—including Ragnaros, the Lich King, and Onyxia—to grab Residual Memories. These’ll get you fun transmogs, an heirloom ring, item level 480 gear, mounts, the whole shebang. It looks like it’s gonna be a fun romp around Azeroth before we all get strapped into Metzen’s three-expansion long wild ride, but I’m personally more excited about two juicy quality-of-life features: Skyriding, and Warbands.

The Nifty touched an all-time high of 21,492 on Friday. The benchmark rose for the seventh week on the trot. During the calendar year, the Nifty has gained 18.51%, of which 14% has come only in the last seven weeks.
So where do we go from here?
The monthly chart of the Nifty gives a clear direction as to where we are headed in the long term — up. Since we are at an all-time high level, we will have to depend on the Fibonacci extensions for an answer. The chart shows you the swings in the Nifty, and the 100% Fibonacci extension of the moves gives us a target of 22,131, a level that we have spoken about in the past, in this column. That target is not the last word. It is a mere number on the road ahead.

Stocks in Focus: GIFT Nifty traded down 14.5 points, or 0.08%, at 19,309.5, indicating a tepid opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Wednesday. Previously on Monday, the NSE Nifty 50 tanked 260.90 points or 1.34% to settle at 19,281.75, while the BSE Sensex shed as much as 825.74 points to 64,571.88. The Bank Nifty index shed 571.85 points to settle at 43,151.20.
“Benchmark indices witnessed severe pounding in the last hour trades as simmering geo-political tension in the Middle-East region triggered a wave of selling pressure and prompted investors to offload equity holdings. Investors are already worried about further interest rate hike and inflation, and with the addition of the Israel-Hamas conflict, the uncertainty has increased further and leading to weak sentiment in global equities,” said Shrikant Chouhan, Head of Equity Research (Retail), Kotak Securities.

Stocks in Focus: GIFT Nifty traded at 20,029 up 166 points or 0.84%, indicating a positive opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Wednesday.

“After last week’s range-bound trend, markets registered gains led by uptick in power, metal and auto stocks as hopes of strong growth momentum going ahead and receding worries of rate hikes in the US strengthened the mood. FIIs turning net buyers of local equities in the last few sessions too has brought some cheers to the market, even as caution could prevail in next few sessions ahead of monthly F&O expiry and exit poll results of five state elections later this week. Technically, Nifty could find support in the 19,797-19,689 range and resistance at 20,000-20,551,” said Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities…
