World Of Warcraft Celebrates Spring With The Return Of Noblegarden

Noblegarden, a long-held traditional celebration among the Alliance, is back once again. Beginning today and running until April 17, World of Warcraft players can earn Noblegarden Chocolates by completing daily quests and going Egg Hunting in the MMORPG. The Chocolates are used to purchase items from the event shop, but keep in mind that some of those items may appear in the Brightly Colored Eggs collected during the Egg Hunt. These items include new toys – A Drake’s Big Basket of Eggs and the Noble Gardner’s Hearthstone. Players will also be able to get new appearances, mounts, costumes, consumables, and more.

On a separate note, it seems that the "Surrender to Corruption" class call has been removed from the Neltharion encounter. As noted on WoWhead, this mechanic caused the targeted class to lose control and required the other members to adjust for it. The problem, it seems, is that balancing the ability across thirteen classes may have been too much, but players may no longer have to worry about it because it is no longer listed in the encounter journal. Wowhead believes this to indicate it’s been removed completely. Even if not, they note that players have worked out a system that involves bringing classes with easier calls and leaving the others out.

Note: Activision Blizzard has had charges filed against them by the state of California for serious harassment allegations. CEO Bobby Kotick is alleged to have known about such actions within his company and in many employees' eyes failed to take adequate action. These allegations have all been denied by Activision Blizzard and the company points to additional diversity and inclusion training as past examples of taking the accusations seriously at the time they were made.
