     Overwatch 2 voice lines won't just let players group up

Overwatch 2 voice lines are an integral part of team communication, combining with the Blizzard sequel's new ping system - arguably one of the best Overwatch 2 changes introduced for the follow-up FPS game - to help you more easily and accurately coordinate big plays and let your teammates know when you need help with that Reaper in your backline. However, one particular foible of the system is making it difficult for players to simply group up - often one of the simplest and most effective ways to quickly tighten up your team's play.

     WoW Dragonflight quest log gets first big raise since Burning Crusade

The WoW Dragonflight quest log cap is being raised dramatically for the first time in almost sixteen years, meaning that the maximum number of quests you can take on in Blizzard's MMORPG will get a huge buff. The cap hasn't seen an increase since the launch of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade in January 2007, where it was initially raised from the base game's 20 quest limit up to 25 to accommodate the new expansion.
