Cheers to CCL, the 323r’s, the 6.The Raven Lord is one of the oldest and most powerful beings within the Nexus, having watched the battles waged in it for thousands of years. We couldn’t have done it without you, so thanks, really. All of your participation and energy helped us trudge through our difficult days (it’s still a job after all), guide our decision making, and just generally help us feel like we’re part of something more than just data fields and debug maps. This work was not spawned out of some special DWarner pocket dimension though, it occurred here, in the real (digital) world, with my hundreds of (very talented and handsome) coworkers and most importantly, you.ĭespite what community consensus might state, designers are usually present in forum discussions, watching popular streams (special shoutout to FollowGrubby, CCL, and the crew of Into The Nexus) and of course sharing dank memes. Since then, I’ve touched probably every map, dozens of reworks, several core hero designs and of course several thousand bugs. I started on this project some 8 or so years ago as an assistant technical designer, originally tasked with simple data implementations of the first sets of maps and heroes. It's painful to look back and see those freshly separated fragments of 'you' suspended in time, but that's life eh? Anyone who has worked on any artistic or creative endeavor knows that some portion of ‘you’ goes into your work and becomes inextricably written into your soul. Some, like the noble Protoss heroes Tassadar and Fenix, journeyed into the rift, risking their sanity to slow the corruption. A drip became a flow, and the flow became a flood, chaos and hatred spilling across the Nexus, threatening to defile it forever. I’m gonna get mushy for a bit, but I feel I can’t even begin to express how much this game and its community means to me. Though the Raven Lord was defeated, the crack remained. Just wanted to pop in and give a proper personal thank you and goodbye to all the lovelies that have kept the community alive and thriving over the years. It is centered around the Raven Lord, and was released in April 30th, 2018. Heroes Developer Blizz_DWarner wrote a personal post on Reddit, thanking the community for the amazing time they've had designing the game over the 8 or so years. Rise of the Raven Lord is Heroes of the Storm-themed comic, authored by Valerie Watrous, and illustrated by Suqling and Peter Lee. ![]()
