Live Developer Q&A Friday, 14 December – Submit Your Questions

Do you feel that these Q&A’s have addressed your communication problem?

Personally i feel that they’re a waste of time as they almost always avoid answering ‘meatier’ questions in favour of fluff.

How is your stance to Melee hybrids in PvP?

It feels like Feral Druids, Enhancement Shamans, and Retribution Paladins are doing too much damage, but offer also not really good healing/team support for their team to make up a damage reduce. Pure DPS speccs like Havoc shouldn’t excel in better group utility/support than Hybrids. Windwalker is lacking in both.

When will the beloved blizzard finally realize that if i play a class that can tank, heal and dps with 3 different speccs and I CHOOSE to play DPS with this specific class that i have to be able to compete with other dps classes.

idc if my class can tank or heal as well, if i want to play for example WW then it is not a solution for me if WW is bad to change to heal or tank!

Hybrids its just a talent option man, but i agree WW is lacking in its output design (karma, touch of death then nothing)

stop talking about hybrids… hybrid means that you can ADJUST YOUR SPECIALIZATION!
this specific point has nothing to do that another pure DPS class should deal more damage, because BOTH PLAYERS! decided to play a DPS ROLE!
just because a WW can change to heal or tank does not mean he has to do less damage than a warlock mage or rogue.
that is completly nonsense in nowadays wow.

I have that feeling you don’t play that game long enough to say what a hybrid actually should do.

You are nonsense. PvP is nonsense duo to this design. Back in the days it was always this way when speccs and classes were different to others. You had hybrids (druid,shams,pallys etc) and you had pure dps speccs (warlock,warrior,rogue etc). And surprise that’s the time when PvP was at it’s best in WoW.

Also don’t i get why you try to make up a discuss in a Q&A thread, if you have any problems with this question write me ingame and try to change my mind, which you wont do anyways.

Ion, have two questions:

  1. Do you will add option (in transmog) to change one handed weapon bracing from waist to back (example " Slayer of the Lifeless")?
  2. When conflict betwin Horde and Aliance will end? BfA is the best time to change fraction system, give a player choice the side. (the conflict is ridiculous already two add-ons)

Are you planning further changes to Elemental Shamans? You have added new talents but nevertheless elemental shamans are still forced to use most of the old talents for the best performance. Means that literally nothing has significantly changed. Only some numerical adjustments.
Sadly.

Battle for Azeroth revolves around the conflict between the Alliance and Horde, yet much of the Horde story focuses on its inner conflict. Why was this narrative direction chosen when it leaves many Horde players feeling they are not the protagonists of their own story?

PVP has been never balanced ever every expansion has some issues. balance in TBC like holy paladin + warrior, rogue, frost mage, windfury totem oneshots. Wotlk? , Blood DK, rouge war with Armor Penetration, one shots from legendary procs + attack. Cataclysm ? ferals rake did double amount dmg of players base hp, warrior charge +dragon roar dead, frost mage stun legendary proc instant kills. Cata ? I played demonology warlock and i had 7 cc spells and mass drain life jessus :smiley: when i switched spec i just killed the guy on chaos bolt conflagrate. Its just in your mind in reality pvp has never ever been balanced.

Why do you think, the paragon system without mounts is an improvement, when the problem of “big grind for a small chance” also applies to toys and pets?
Wouldn’t e.g. making all cosmetic paragon rewards BoE solve the problem better?

There is no player involvement in Wafronts, regarding training new troops - they just advance to the enemy base.
Why can’t NPC-troops follow the player on the Warfront, like in WC3, and being commanded e.g. by a context-petbar?

Red or Blue ? Which one is it according to ion ?

When will we be able to upgrade Heirlooms to 120, or are there other means to gear up while leveling primarily via island expeditions in 8.1?

What is the intention with ultra-expensive mounts (vendosaurus, spider, direhorn, frogs), while economy is not catching up?
To earn enough gold you have to grind 24/7, pay hundreds of euros for tokens or be a rich immoral AH-reseller.

Greetings I am returning Player, due to adding choice in staying Loyal to Sylvanas.

My Question is: Would you consider creating a added Dark Horde faction. Based on choice later in the game. A faction which would still side with the Main Horde in battle to support them. But the Main Horde distances themselves from them.

This could Solve the story line, pvp , dungeons enz.
Without splitting the Player Base, Sylvanas could lead this darker faction.

Everybody Happy.

Will we ever see the allied race weapons in our characters hands? Like the Dark Iron weapons you see during the questline to unlock the race. Also, any plans on letting us get our hands on the WoD Gorehowl?

When will you realise that time gating content (8.1 war campaign) to keep people subbed longer just annoys people into unsubbing?

Are there any plans to rework professions? They seem pretty useless right now!

Are there any plans to give us armor-type-specific heritage armor, one for cloth, one for mail, one for leather, one for plate?

Are there any plans to add more character customizations such as hairstyles & colors?

Can we get back class specific questlines like we had in Legion?

Can we get back PvP-Vendors? If no: Why?

Are there any plans to improve timewalking-raids like adding them to the LFR-System?
