  • What is the plan in regards to populations for TBC and more specifically, the launch.
  • What can we expect in terms of new servers, transfers, fresh starts and similor in regards to both Classic and TBC
  • Can we expect the new races earlier than the launch, perhaps in a pre patch?
  • Are the limitations from Classic, e.g 30 dungeons/day, to be expected in TBC aswell?
  • What have you learned from Classic that will help you improve our TBC experience

Question regarding TBC classic.

Most of my questions are based around raids and endgame actvities, and their relevance depends a lot on what patch we will get, progressive 2.0 - 2.4.3, or a plain 2.4.3 with content gated

1: One of the biggest issues with the classic raids, was the content was released in its nerfed version, or rather, the classes and items was released in their buffed version without the content being tuned to compensate for the increased player power, causing the raids to become too easy.
The same thing happened in TBC as well, that both classes and gear was rebalanced in 2.1, which was a nerf to t4 and t5 content, will blizzard tune those raids to compensate for the increased power that the class and item changes caused?

2: Phases.
In classic we had 6(8) phases with content, and in my opinion that worked out pretty well both with how the content released, and the time between them, and it was pretty natural considering this was the way it did release back in Vanilla, just cut out the bug change patches.

When TBC released, it had a lot of content available, all of T4, T5 and half of T6(Hyjal) however, due to bugs or intended overtuning, these raids were basicly released in phases. For the guilds that actually managed to kill the bosses that dropped the Hyjal attunement quest item, found out that it dropped only 1 per raid, meaning you would need 25 full clears to actually enter Hyjal with a full raid, this was obviously intended as to block guilds from going into a unfinished hyjal. How will this be handeled with a release of content thats supposedly fixed to remove bugs that make bosses unkillable?

If it releases in a fixed state and everything open, the players will basicly consume 70% of TBC’s content within the first month.
And if Lady Vashj and Kael’thas only drop a single quest item, you will see guilds demanding heavy split raiding, and / or buying entry from other guilds to get their members attuned, slowing down other guilds progression, turning the competition into a who can buy the most clears for their members, or who can level the most alts to 70 for split raiding, instead of what guild can clear it the quickest.

3: As a soon to be Shaman, unlock the new races a few weeks before the outland, so we can go in together with our friends, best part of a new expansion is the first few weeks, where everyone is super active and doing dungeons together, shamans that dont get boosted to 70 will be way behind and end up being carried trough the first tier / heroics, cause everyone else have “been there done that” by the time we get to 70. (I know this is a controversial request, i will have fun either way, but please consider this :slight_smile: )

Don’t you think addressing underdog specilizations sooner and allowing more people to enjoy the game is better, than making them wait months for the next major patch, just to not “ruin” their already hindered mid-patch experience?

I have a few.

  1. Why do you insist on making content from last expansion impossible to solo?

  2. Can we please make transmog farming a little more incentive ie: cloth can be learned when picked up by a plate wearer.

  3. Can we expect to see customisation for allied races? Nightborne is the main one, but all allied races.

  4. Are there any plans to lift class/race combinations, to a certain degree? Obviously some are a bit farfetched.

  5. Please can you do something about the damage modifiers in old content, specifically mythic legion raids, they are still not soloable.

With the widespread adoption of raiders gearing through rated pvp rather than by obtaining raid loot the old fashioned way, is it time to bring back pvp-specialized gear?

If TBC is announced: Do we start from level 1 or can we transfer our current classic characters?

Will there be any changes to PVP gearing? Being an altoholic might as well bite the dust currently if you want to enjoy PVP as you’re not a credit to team due to gear restrictions yet you earn so little cause there’s 0 PVP catch up in a game where you have heroic / mythic geared players at triple digit ratings so even playing at low rating is painful bordering impossible feeling.

So, Nightborne. Are you going to change the playable Nightborne so they look like the npc Nightborne, and are they also getting more customization options?

  • Arcane Mage: What is your plan for arcane mages? The design is a lackluster and it’s just generally not competitive outside m+. So many suggestions have been made, which ones are you going to go with ?

  • Raids: Will raid mechanics be kept as they are now with a lot of movement and “dance”, or do you have a plan for doing something more like how vanilla was (More DPS checks, less dances) ?

What is your Plan with Warlocks?
A straight 18% dmg Malefic Rupture nerf will destroy the spec!
Bad AoE gets even worse (at least in M+) and good singletarget gets average at best.
Are you trying to bring Destro into a better spot through scaling or Potency-Conduit tweaking/buffing?

When are new customisations coming for allied races? The customisations for core races look amazing, but some allied races have always been lacking in options and it would be great to know that more options are coming soon - especially for Nightborne and Highmountain Tauren.

If player choice was so important then why is skill cap locked behind racials in some cases?

example: a night elf rogue has infinite potential for how to use some legendaries, set ups as a rogue in PVP or even skips they can do with meld in PVE too.

It should never be the case in any situation imho that being x-race is a dps decrease.

57

When you will balance factions? Removing mercenary mode would be a simple first step, it harms Alliance in alot of negative ways. Alliance mythic raiding is dead as well.

When are you going to start taking pvp seriously and do a real pvp tuning.

Is further customisation being added to races who have been short-changed in the customisation department, given Shadowlands was meant to be an expansion based around having alot of customisation yet it feels like this only exists for elves, orcs and humans as far as I am concerned.
