Patch Highlights
Tons of Garrison abilities have been added for Followers. They seem to fall into two types--abilities that allow a follower to be assigned to a specific building, and abilities that increase a success chance when on a mission with various races. Full list below.
There are several other types of Garrison abilities:
Hyperactive
(Increases success chance on missions shorter than 6 hours),
Scavenger
(Increases the materials gained from a mission) and
Advanced Training
(Increases the XP gained from a mission for all followers).
There are also many new Garrison phases and Mechanics.

Four new Heroes announced
Heroes of the Storm has got well and truly into the PAX spirit with an early announcement of four new heroes.

News Roundup: Heartbleed Account Security, Azeroth Choppers, Significant Tweets
Heartbleed Account Security
Blizzard has released an official statement on the Heartbleed bug. The long and short of it is that Battle.net was not compromised, but if you use the same password for Battle.net as you do for other sites, you should change it. As a rule, it's best to use unique passwords for your different accounts.
Many news sites are reporting a vulnerability (dubbed the Heartbleed bug) discovered in OpenSSL, an encryption technology used by a majority of websites and online services—including banks, email providers, and social media sites—to protect sensitive data as it’s transmitted from users to web services.
We want to emphasize that Battle.net’s encryption was not affected by this vulnerability. However, if you use the same password on Battle.net that you use elsewhere, your Battle.net account could be at risk if those sites were affected by this bug.
If the above situation applies to you, we recommend changing your Battle.net password to a new, unique password. As always, we recommend that you maintain separate login credentials for each online service you use. Using the same email or password across multiple ser

How to get the most out of Wowhead's Warlords of Draenor Talent Calculator
Wowhead has updated the
Warlords of Draenor Talent Calculator
, to include glyphs as well as all the updated spec-specifc abilities and Draenor Perks. But maybe you're wondering how to use it? How do you see all these new features?
Upgraded Tooltips
The main body of the calculator, which we can see to the right, should be pretty familiar. It works exactly like the in-game one does, only it's been updated for Warlords. You'll notice some differences among the lower level talents as well as the new level 100 talents. What's more, the tooltips have been updated to only reflect your selected spec's version of the talent.
A great example is
Chi Explosion
, a new level 90 Monk talent. If you mouse over it with any of the three specs selected, the tooltip will update to show the appropriate version of the talent. You can select your spec at the bottom of the talent calculator on the left-hand side.
Glyphs
Clicking any of the Glyph slots you see to the right of the main calculator will open up a list of glyphs. Select from the list,

I was fortunate enough to be invited to Blizzard Campus to interview Technical Game Designer Chadd "Celestalon" Nervig on Warlords of Draenor. You can

Timeline and the "Alpha" term
Celestalon wanted to be very clear that this was not the final set of patch notes. There's already another 5,000+ word set being created by Rygarius, as well as blogs. It's definitely not the case that these are set in stone.
Players shouldn't take the "Alpha" as meaning that Blizzard is not that far along in content, and not assume that there's a certain time period of Beta to follow.
"Alpha" more relates to how many people are being invited. Mists had a lot of people, thanks to the Annu
