World of Warcraft – Show us your selfies

458143

World of Warcraft's 6.1 patch is out in the wild, and that means one thing: selfies. Maybe you love them, maybe you hate them, or maybe you're irritated by the way Millenials take a familiar concept (ie. taking a picture of your face) and re-brand it in a way that implies that only now is it an acceptable thing to do. I don't know.

What I do know is that World of Warcraft now has a S.E.L.F.I.E. camera that lets people take pictures of their characters—our readers included. And so, we'd like to see your Azerothians.

We did this late last year with Dragon Age: Inquisition, and received a great selection of our community's Inquisitors. Naturally, World of Warcraft has a less flexible character creator, but that's not the only consideration. What armour are they wearing? Where are they standing? What expression are they pulling? All tell a story about who that person is.

For details of how to get and use the camera, head here. To submit your shot, add an Imgur link in a comment below, or email me. Where possible, give us some details about your character, like their name, personality, achievements—that sort of thing. We'll pick out our favourites in a week's time.

Phil has been writing for PC Gamer for nearly a decade, starting out as a freelance writer covering everything from free games to MMOs. He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
