BlizzCon 2010 in Las Vegas?
According to the Las Vegas Convention Calendar, Las Vegas could be a possible location for the next BlizzCon 2010. However Blizzard replied they didn't make any announcement regarding the next BlizzCon. So what do you think?

We haven't announced any details regarding our next BlizzCon, so please refrain from making any travel plans at this time.


3.3 PTR Buff/Debuff Management - Feedback
Blizzard PosterZarhym on 3.3 PTR Buff/Debuff Management - Feedback (Source)

While you're enjoying testing the new dungeon and raid content available in patch 3.3, we'd like to get your feedback on our new interface system for managing buffs and debuffs. Please enable the two new features as listed in our PTR 3.3 patch notes and let us know what you think.

Q u o t e:
  • Buffs and Debuffs: This is a new section added to Interface Options.
    • New option - Castable Debuffs: Enabling this will cause only debuffs you have cast on an enemy target to appear.
    • New option - Consolidate Buffs: Enabling this adds a buff consolidation box near the mini-map. Very short term buffs (e.g. Replenishment) and very long term buffs (e.g. Prayer of Fortitude) are filtered into the buff box. The icons are stacked here, but they can still be seen by moving the mouse cursor over the buff box. Long term buffs will move out of the box when they are about to expire. Buffs such as important procs (e.g. Art of War, Maelstrom Weapon), cooldowns (e.g. Bloodlust / Heroism, Combustion) or limited in range (e.g. totems and paladin auras) are always displayed.



Ghostcrawler on 3.3 PTR Buff/Debuff Management - Feedback
There isn't a hard and fast rule for what goes into the box. We tried to go through the list of everything and make judgement calls. Very spammy things that you are grateful for but don't need to be reminded of constantly (say Replenishment) go in the box. Long-term buffs go into the box with a couple of exceptions. Things with relatively short ranges, like say totems or paladin auras, stay out of the box because you need to know if you move out of range of them. Things that are very core to your class, like Shadowform, paladin seals or warrior stances, stay out of the box. Inner Fire stays out because it has charges. Things like Inspiration and Heroism that might actually alter your behavior stay out. Anything related to a specific encounter will stay out of the box. If in doubt, we left it out.

The other new option, the castable debuffs, is a way to just see 'your stuff' on a target, especially a raid boss. If you want to see your Corruption and CoA and not every lock's dots, it works well for that. It does not work well for debuffs that share the same exclusive category, like say Mangle and Trauma. That functionality is something we'd like to add in the future. If you're a raid leader, it's not going to let you see if all of the critical debuffs are being applied. But if you aren't a raid leader, don't have a lot of fancy mods to monitor such things, and just want to make sure your DK diseases are still up, it's great for that.

We find both new tools to be really useful, but they default to off, so we wanted to make sure players didn't miss them on the PTR while there was still some time to iterate on the design. (Source)
