Are there any plans to impliment the warbands reputation to include legacy reputation? I ask as the main reason I no longer play retail is that my entire wow history is tied to a class I don’t enjoy anymore, and I would be a lot more inclined to play another class if I felt some of my previous progression on what I consider to be my main can be account wide.

Cataclysm
What about the retribution paladin: Is the class becoming the holy plate-rogue like back then? This was heavily influenced by “to the ground”-paladin-hating ghostcrawler and a great step to retail, away from classic.

How are Emerald Dream and Ardenweald connected? Is there a portal between them, or does one have to pass through reality/Azeroth to reach the other? As we can see some characters from Ardenweawld in Emerald Dream.

As underground rat people using candles (well, crystals), are niffen related to kobold or troggs?

Classic season of discovery :

Will there be more class reworks coming in the new expansion, other than the Hero Talents?

Currently not a big fan of Affliction’s damage profile being reliant on 7 or so buttons to press only to make one ability hit hard. And the capstones in the warlock class tree feel very underwhelming when compared to a Warrior for example.

how do you see the Crafting order system going forward? Will you add older expansions items to the craftable items to the Crafting order system?

Delves look fun but will there be other fun content similar to that outside of pvp/raid/mythic plus?

Hello,
Do you have any “idea” of what cycles should the releases be in? Because for us that live in less developed nations 50€ + sub every 12months seems a lot. Every 24 months seems like enough time to earn that € needed to play.
Thank you for your answear

Could you please ask to the developers that Cataclism should be renamed WoW reforged or something like that?
Cata is far from a classic experience as the retail.
Please leave the WOTLK servers up, even if no players play it.
Thanks in advance

Gnomes have the least amount of class choice options of any race. Based on our contributions and interaction with the populations and cultures of Azeroth, is it now time for us to learn the ways of another class?

Will Aug be the only support spec or are you looking to add new ones/rework some specs into support?

Can you expand a little on how cross-realm guilds will work?

As a background, I have run the same guild since early BC. It is an unpaid sometimes difficult job, which can often bring sleepless nights and upset. I’m in several discord communities, including one I run, where I’m able to speak with other guild leaders from around the world, and one of the overarching concerns from guild leaders is that we feel rather abandoned and unloved by Blizzard.

Yes, we’re here, we’re battling on, we’re coping. And we’re getting things that improve our member’s quality of guild life all of the time. Going back from guild banks being introduced right up to cross faction and, soon, cross realm guilds.

But at the same time, it’s getting harder and harder to maintain those guilds that bring joy and the “multiplayer” experience to many many players. New “improvements” that reduce our ability to maintain the guild easily; new systems that change the GUI but break things in the process; new ways to join a guild, even if you’re offline that only works for same faction and has no option to recind or “time-out” an invite.

Cross-realm guilds sound like a great next step, especially in combatting the problems faced by low-population realms, however, I’m concerned, and others are too, that adding this may cause yet more admin problems for guild leaders when built upon an already shaky foundation.

There is also the issue of what a cross-realm member in a guild has access to. Would they be able to access guild work orders (assuming that’s a thing going forward … and I do hope it is because I may be in the minority, but I do like the new crafting system, even if it does need a few tweaks!). What about Auction Houses? Which Auction House would a cross faction guild member have access to? Their own realm? The target realm? Or are you going to smoosh Auction Houses?

So basically my questions are:
(1) Can you go into more detail about how cross-realm guilds will work, both from a guild member and guild leader perspective.
(2) Is there likely to be any changes to improve the life of guild/raid leaders? For example fixing the variety of bugs already within the system, improving the guild interface and permissions options, the guild finder and improving the calendar (which is currently teetering on being unfit for purpose).

Please can there be more options to get specific mounts such as two different ways as in for example the pvp mount, there could be the existing fast but hard way, and a time consuming but easier way to get the same mount, so one is hard work in terms of difficulty, the other is hard work in the sheer amount of things you need to do to get the mount.

The above would apply to the other mounts such as the mythic+ rating mount.

Why did you pick dwarfs as an allied race for the Horde?

Horde as alot more obvious options like Chaos Orcs, Forest Trolls, Ogres or Mok’Nathal?

In what way did you see dwarfs as a perfect fit for the Horde faction?

Is there any plans to finally let shamans be full fledged tank on retail, either with a 4th spec or with the hero talents, since you do have the tech for it.
Like if we look at WoW classic Season of Discovery, shamans can get 3 runes that makes them a full tank with Way of Earth, Shield Mastery and Shamanistic Rage, so it should not be that hard to transfer the same ideas over to retail, as I know a lot of shamans would love to be able tank on their shaman.

Having attended the 5 previous Blizzcons, Travelling from the UK, Often coming with a bunch of folks from our guild, I would like to ask the Dev Team and Blizzard as a whole, why did you choose to make Blizzcon smaller, and more expensive? Where was Blizzcon TV, Virtual tickets, guest presenters, MDI, AWC? Instead those of us that dont live in the states were given a budget youtube stream with none of the other panels being available to watch. Instead, you offer “Blizzcon Bundles” ( Again more expensive than the virtual ticket) To top it off, The Blizzcon EU store doesnt have the same merch as the US store?

I am not naieve and this isnt a qq about being priced out coming from the EU, I know that I am priveleged to have afforded it in the past. I am just concerned, that something fundementally has changed now that Blizzcon seems massively scaled down.

Good day,
my question has several parts for Dragonflight → The War Within.

You’ve mentioned for a while now that you don’t like the fact that the affliction warlock has a lot of spell (DoT) buttons.
In which datadisk do you plan to add the affliction warlock spell to the talent tree, in the selection position for Soul Swap (as the second selection spell), which will cost 1 soul shard. The spell will be instant without CD and it will send Agony, Corruption and Siphon Life to the target at once (if he is talented) with an animation of the casting, for example that a magical projectile will fly from the warlock to the target that will look like a wisp?

The second part of the question is simpler.
Do you plan to improve a little on warlock’s pets (especially peta void)?
Void should be a tanking pet for the warlock so that he can go outside and protect the warlock, but his aggro is quite weak (lately it often happens that I overaggress his enemies for affli) and he also has no magic damage reduction at all and he dies immediately from spells and then immediately me /cry

Thanks for the answer in the video.

When is Booty Bay going to see some love? it was always my favorite place in the game and now with Cata 2 on the way it’s still in an awful mess, how hard is it to clean some seaweed and cut some new planks?

Will there be a classic vanilla 2019 edition anytime soon?
Doesnt need to be + content, maybe a few well placed edits.

Think there is a lot of people who just wants progressive vanilla server.
Then maybe you can add content while its stewing.

Will the Warbands features retroactively share any reputations, achievements and unlocks between my characters? IE if you unlocked FOMO content (Dungeon/raid portals, MoP Challenge Mode sets, Mage Tower artifact weapon appearances) on one character itll also be unlocked on others if they are an eligible race/class, but that might just be too much hopium as I see that the features are currently aimed at 11.0 content.
