A question about warbands/account wide systems.
You’ve mentioned, and showed, questing achievements, those normally required for the “Loremaster” meta achievements. My question here is: are you going to make the quests doable only once per account as a result or, better yet, are you going to make quests done on your main entirely skippable/“tickable off” on alts?

I love questing and I’ve gone through loremaster twice, and since WoD I tend to get loremaster of the current expansion on multiple alts, in order to unlock everything, unphase everything(very useful as a roleplayer) and the like, but it’s a lot of work, so warbands seems the right way to basically allow players to skip quests and have them ticked off(much like the current skip for the late Waking Shores campaign works or the usual “I’ve heard this before…” skips) as done on their main on their alts, as long as it’s something that is a “by character” basis, since of course you wouldn’t want to prevent players from replaying through the story if they so choose.

Have you ever considered variable-priced character boost ? Basically if I would boost a 50 character to level 70 it would be greatly discounted compared to boosting a level 1 character. I have one character of each race in the game, body type and body 2. That is something around 50 chars. Having to level them up at each expansion is extremely tiring. I would argue for removing levels altogether but I know that would be considered crazy by most people. I would buy those discounted boosts while I will never buy “full” boosts for all those characters that are simply sitting at the level cap of older expansions since I feel “robbed” of the value of the boost considering I have manually leveled most of the levels for these characters.

Would be interested to know what the general player response has been to the new approach to professions and whether this will impact on how they are implemented in the new expansions.

Personally, I enjoyed the UI revamp, but I don’t enjoy how I have to go about obtaining/selling items via crafting orders.

I used to really enjoy goldmaking through crafting, but completely stopped (and didn’t even bother maxing out crafting or seek out rare patterns!) because I didn’t enjoy “barking for business”. I just want to post my stuff and get on with playing the game.

Am hoping there is a compromise whereby I am able to browse/buy items listed on the AH again. To get around the BoE pay to win element maybe the BoP items we currently need crafting orders for can be posted on the AH but we are only allowed to purchase them from the AH if we have the BoP materials in our inventory and they disappear when we buy the item.

Has Fireblood/Firebrand (like Bolvar) been considered for Death Knight hero talents? Otherwise please provide a high level concept for what Deathbringer and Rider of the Apocalypse are and why they have been chosen over that.

Is there any plan to develop on the guild system. Back in Cataclysm with guild perks it really felt like there was a real benefit to being in a guild… perks like “have group will travel” (ok maybe it should have been limited to not be useable in raids and dungeons) but still it was a useful tool.

other perks like the passive guild revenue from other players that does not require guild groups completing dungeons, raids or pvp. so when ever a player received gold from any source from drops to quests the guild got a few copper or silver. now it was a small amount but it really added up quickly with larger guilds and all the players passively doing content which meant guilds could provide consumables etc.

other perks i think would be a great addition would be increased material gains from being in a guild… this could be mining nodes or herbs having 5% increased drops per node etc or cloth drops 5% increased but up to 10% if in a guild dungeon group etc again a beneficial perk from being in a guild… 5% repair discounts from being in a guild or 10% if in a guild group with guild repairs activated… these are just a few i feel would make guilds great again.

The new shared banking system raises some concerns for me, as I have a lot of soulbound items in my bank that are reminders of quests and storylines that I enjoyed or that touched me on some level. Many cannot be put in Void Storage and some that can should not be (Rhea’s Last Egg springs to mind) What will happen to those?

And how would Void storage work? Will it be shared or stay character specific?

personally i feel it is a great idea yes it means many players who only purchase the basic version miss out on 3 days but with with vast amount who will purchase the epic version and play 3 days earlier it could ease the tension on the servers on the official launch night. Plus less players on the launch night to fight over mobs and pick ups etc… personally i myself will be getting the epic version. But a guildie has mentioned today that he is going to be getting the £40 base version this month then in a future month pay the difference off to upgrade that so its easier on his finances than having one big hit for the expansion.

Hi!

Have you guys considered the option to let us share cross region achievments/mounts on Bnet accounts? At least the ones that are no longer obtainable?
Blizzcon items are shared on both of my NA and EU accounts… and on the beta test ALL my stuff from both accounts is there…
So please make it happen <3

Also when am I going to be able to pick my race for my Visage form :smiley: ?

Now that it feels that is a new beginning and that you have decided to do warbands (transmog, achievments, reputation) account wide, do you have any plans to try to connect accounts from different regions, for example Eu-Na. It is really sad that if you have to move to another continent you loose all your progress, your mogs, your mounts, your achievements. I know its possible because when Dragonflight was in Alpha, my wife somehow had her NA account and EU account shared, she had mounts and achievements from both accounts. Now is the time Blizzard!

Will dracthyr be getting more classes in The War Within? And perhaps more customizations for visage forms?

with regards to the shared banking it looks to me like it will be an extra bank tab so we will still have our standard bank with many collected soulbound memories etc but the new bank will not or more to the point should not impact that or voidstorage at all…

World of Warcraft is at a crossroads where classic is advancing into Cataclysm and a new era is starting. With the classic world catching up with many Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor zones we currently have and a new era starting, will there be a world revamp in the near future, or at least revamps to the main capitals to make them a more compelling launch point for peoples adventures?

1 - Why keep the id lockout for mythic raids?
2 - Why no quality selection on public orders?
3 - What’s the probability to create a new chat (crossfaction) ONLY for trade purposes? (since we can’t post public orders with quality selection)

It’s becoming harder and harder to find what you seek in the Mount List and Toy Box as it fills. Are any solutions being considered?
Like sorting all Horses or all Hearthstones under one drop-down menu.

  1. Can you make archeology and main world events alive again? :slight_smile:
  2. Is possible to put “raid skip” to the old raid content for mount/transmog farmers?

What was the purpose behind introducing Hero Talents? Was there a specific issue that you were trying to solve?

Also, please tell me that Frostfire bolt animation is coming back for mages.

What are the odds of opening the rest of the classes up for any race, like how it was done for warlock and monk recently?
Are any other races gonna get new customization options beside humans, orcs, and blood elves?
Are any other playable races planned, even as far as just drawing board ideas?
Can archaeology get some relevance again?

Are any more changes being made to levelling besides the level cap increase?

Will we ever see any actual balancing done to pvp?
I mean getting thrown into a random BG against someone who is leaps above you in I-level and honor level really offsets a game.
