Unshackled Fury Ion Interview
- To celebrate their 10th anniversary the Unshackled Fury podcast with hosts Berzerker and Jez sat down with World of Warcraft Game Director, Ion Hazzikostas. During the interview they talk about Ion’s life outside of the game, his early years and how he ended up at Blizzard. It humanized him in a way most interviews never do.

The Conversation Continues
Ion and Andy Churchill met with the BW/DBM authors to discuss the state of Combat Timeline and find solutions to their biggest pain points. There was a lot of good detail to come from this meeting and I suggest watching Adam’s video where he goes through it in detail.
- Player Spell Casts are no longer secret values (even in combat)
- Addons will be able to filter spells in the timeline
- No ability renaming
- No ability timers on nameplates
- Will not allow warnings when a debuff/target of a spell is applied
- Custom sounds for Cooldown Manager will be permitted
