I am very excited for "A Struggle Not Above"
I get the impression this BlizzCon was quite stressful in terms of content creation and timing, so I hope you still had time to enjoy the con itself and thanks for still delivering a great interview and a fantastic Weekly Reset!
With Delves, as a solo player I might actually open the great vault for the first time ever.
Exactly what I was thinking. Very hyped for the next expansion
Only curious, but are dungeons, LFR etc really not something you’d enjoy? Give it a go. I think these changes are good regardless though. ❤️
Honestly what was essentially a blind interview, it was pretty good and asked some good questions more about the future and direction of the game. Also good to know the crystal is not actually the sword. It is a separate sort of deal.
so they say ;)
The bit about the crystal not being the sword was awesome, heard it here first
Lol this interview was great! It answered my burning question about Delve difficulty, when no other creator asked about it.
The war beneath 😂😂😂
What if in "The last Titan" where some things don’t go as planned, is for example a fight between Tyralyon and Anduin. Where Anduin sees that the forces of the light are not what they seem. Same like with Illidan.
Tali: "I would watch a buttload more of those cinematics.."
Blizzard employees holding back smiles looking at each other: "Oh.. oh would you? Hm. Hrmm... Hehe.. I- uh, ya know, they do a great job. Maybe. Who knows, right? Certainly not us. But maybe we might- Yeah, they did a good job, huh?"
This was a perfectly fine interview! You asked questions that showed you were paying attention (some people can't get an expansion name correct even as it is being played live!) and that you care about and are excited about the game. Thank you!
man, crazy how you say you didn't have time to prepear good questions. To be honest its the best interview from what people did after the announcment, you actually try to ask them something that matters(maybe not getting the answer), instead of dead "will we get more haircuts for elves\bag slots or whatever", which nobody actually cares about and they are going to do anyway and we already know its a matter of time.
My guy, be kind to yourself! This was a fantastic point-in-time interview and the excitement of the announcement being so fresh was clear, it led to some great lines of questioning.
It's fascinating hearing them talk about this. I have been preaching that the philosophy of the game has changed from being the character to controlling a series of characters (like the original Warcraft games). The player is the one experiencing the world across characters rather than having a known presence in a static world via an avatar.
Tell completely different philosophies, both great in their own right. I prefer being in a world where I'm someone but at this point in retail that's been long gone. Bring on the war bands!!
Just what I needed. A Taliesin video :D
I mean, tali, this is pure tv show drama right now... (just started watching the video)... just from the start you explaining that [apparently] you screwed up (tbh, i dont buy it at this point), just weeks after you roasted that french interviewer to his bones? I mean, this is an entire character development arch going on here and I love it.
lovely :) I know it has to be really stressful to come up with questions on the spot, but this was fun to watch!
They were so nice in the interview! I think the questions were actually pretty good considering how little time you had to take all you have seen. Great job!
It's so refreshing to hear you give context to these videos beforehand. You a nice chad.
im so glad you had the part at the start. i watched the mrGM one last night and it felt a bit off but it all adds up now
Don't know what you were worried about. I thought it was a great interview! I learnt a few things that weren't already answered so that's a good job in my books!
Also...Gilneas confirmed for War Within?
Lets be real here, the idea of having 3 expacs planned for story reasons is exactly why classic wow up to WOLTK was so popular. The the story of the LK had been set up since WC3 and Metzen + co all knew where it was eventually leading, even it was 6+ years down the line. Thats where we're at now. Metzen's came in and recognized that theres no continuity or over arching plot any more (there techically is, but its been yolo'd for the past 3/4 expacs) so theyve set them selves a main plot.
Hopefully it pays off
I love how Terran reacts to your "war beneath" 05:03
so on point the visual fatigue of torgasth. at first i though was epic but after a couple of weeks the visual fatigue take out all the fun for me😊
Also, Warbands was my fantasy about my alts from when I started them in Vanilla!
I think it is good that you got into deep right away. It makes the conversation genuine and less prethought. And the devs would not mind you forgetting the new expension name. Cause they know it is much info you got at once in a small amount of time. I do like you honestly asking it to them as well. ^^ Not trying to get around it.
Idk about that intro man, I think those questions were perfectly fine. A solid interview.
I like your warband ideas.
oi btw you spelled Nattartive in the description
Huh, it says something about past experiences when the dev says it's "wonderful to say" the expansion is story-focused.
I really hope they do make hero talents have support type builds for pure dps. I love the idea of a mage support after classic SoD announcement
I'd even take a choice node for gladiator stance. I had a lot of fun with that in WoD.
That was a lovely interview :D
Reading between the lines a bit here, but I'm getting the feeling their emphasis on having a cohesive story going forward means that they didn't have solid footing on the overall narrative of the game previously. And that each expansion really was piecemeal.
It certainly was, we never went forward and dealt with the aftermath of any xpac since Idk when.
@@primal4887I mean it's always been there, the vanilla to wotlk had alot of pieces working together, then up to legion with the killing of sargeras, then the sylvanas arc, it's just the in between moments never really built up the end pieces of all these moments. Hopefully now we will see the overall narrative being taken into account throughout the entire experience
Lies, the Jailer was obviously planned back in Warcraft 3! XDD
@@Forty2dehahahaha
I love having a support class on my team and watching my dps jump super high. It's amazing!
This is the best interview from Blizzcon because you asked hard questions that they weren't prepared for. Tali, imo, you're best unscripted. You do ramble way too much on Twitch vods, but I still enjoy them because you make such honest and brutal comments. A lot of us feel like Blizz just lawyers - and we hate it - and many of us are just looking for authenticity. Again - great interview. I like you unscripted.
Tali you beat yourself up too much, This interview is really good. I think we as a community prefer more unscripted interactions and I think you came up with really great questions. They were thoughtful, were about what you had just learned, and also put forward many thoughts the community had been having during our reactions. Well done :)
Did you upload this to the wrong channel? I only accidentally saw this, I'm subscribed but without notifications unlike the main channel D:
Fantastic!
My question is player power related to the opening quests. Example: The first spark or the flightstones and the different crests. How will alts obtain those if they have 0 reason to do the quest line otherwise.
The war beneath. The Battle FRUMUNDA.
"where the characters live" PLAYER HOUSING CONFIRMED
I wish someone had called them on this. Everyone wondered if The Last Titan was the end of WoW because Metzen DID NOT say "the next 20 years of WoW" he said "the next 20 years of adventure". That's a crucial difference for fans who have learned over the years to parse corporate-speak.
I think you were a bit harsh with yourself Tali, your only downfall is not remembering the expansion name twice XD but the questions where interesting enough! This was great!
Your bar for a good interview is fortunately pretty high ^^'
I just wanna say, elemental shaman is the perfect setup for a new support spec
Like, outside of maybe two questions that were answered in the Deep Dive, this interview is perfectly fine. Idk what the big deal is.
You really didn't have to apologize for this.
I don't think the interview as a whole is bad, there was a few bad questions, this is true, but nothing to be unhappy with overall
I’m so curious why they didn’t make the crystal in the sky the actual tip of the sword. It looks like it, everyone thinks about it given we’re underground…they should have just said it’s the tip of the sword imo
Because the sword that shall not be named was full of Fel energy, and we drained it. If its the sword, no light/void, no sunlight for the Arathi (so likely no Arathi). If we're in a cavern beneath the sword, then the sword isn't impacting the world soul. I'm surprised people keep thinking it's the sword, we're half a planet away.
This was great, I don’t know what you are talking about.
i want mythic delves with mythic level gear, make them HARD. i want to put in just as much effort as a mythic raider but on my own time through solo content.
Call me crazy but I do miss the multi raids per tier patch like we used to have in TBC with TK and SSC or Kara and Gruul all have the same tier. I think the last time we got something like that was it Cata or MoP I cant remember anymore.
cut yourself some slack Tali - it was an appropriate interview for the moment. Would have loved a few more questions about warbands (can you have multiple warbands; is there a max number for your warband), but i don't think there was a need for a pre amble. Plenty of humour - it was fine. I remember Ion saying that player housing would need multiple expansions to build on... multiple expansions hmmm
love esfand
If I had to choose one new feature for the team to absolutely knock out of the park, that would be Warbands. FFXIV has ruined me. I don't play one class anylonger. I play many classes at once. Shared character progression is most welcome.
Princekumar❤❤❤
Dude, this was not bad at all. Absolutely no need to sell yourself short! 🙂
In other words: "No I don't know what the final scene of the world soul saga is."
I'm not opposed to shorter expansions if it means there are no one-year-droughts at the end of each. Sometimes, in the wee hours of the morning, I can still hear them cry... "lfg SoO HC".
5:00-5:07 Terran's face hahahaahah
I dont care what bonus i get from skills, i want flavor skills! i want to see them do shit!
13th special delve? Cow level , calling it now.
Warbands romance options?
Despite I'm really excited about the new expansion I can't help thinking that its name has something to do with Prince of Persia.
You were a little hard on yourself there. I don't think it was a bad interview at all.
Not "the war beneath"! I totally understand your confusion and I hope they didn't think bad of you, but it looks like 2 days is not enough for all the content creators to just life the experience
I can’t wait until Ashes of Creation comes out so I can play a game that encourages people to group up and doing content others in a living and breathing world.
The last Titan could keep this game going but wow 2 can be made in that time or this game can be completed revamped with major changes. Wish they’d squish to 20 or 30 and have Newley adde 5 player dungeons that people run, not just enter dungeons because I hate.
The War Beneath? :P
Ofc they know the ending to the Last Titan. You don't announce a Story if you haven't at least laid out the big plot points and how it ends. I got a feeling as to what they mean with "it will propell us into the next 20 years of Warcraft" but.. I hope I am wrong.
TBH it feels like this expansion is more of a patch
Still nobody is asking if we're getting open world cross-faction despite having guilds and getting a new open world endgame pillar. So sadge. I still don't know If I can commit to my Alliance character.... Will I be able to play Delves with my friends? Find out next Christmas :) I can't believe this info has slipped through the cracks. I need to know.
you're too hard on yourself it was a good interview
i already know what the ending of War within and midnight AND Last titan is... its very easy to read sadly :(
Tell us then. I'm all ears.
@@ShadowsOfThePast The sunshard/void shard in the ceiling is a fading Naruu. We find out probably 2nd or 3rd raid. its released by Xal'atath, We lose.
Midnight is all about Xal'atath getting some random item within the kingdom of Quel'thalas so she can get access to the sunwell. The entire northern part of the eastern kingdoms is revamped. Capitals are Silvermoon for horde, Gilnaes for Alliance, undercity is a raid fighting probably the scarlets.
In the mean time we find out that the energy from the sunwell is a mysterious power from the ground.. something unknown... its a direct link to the titan core.
We Fight the Naruu/Void being in the sunwell room while they perform a ritual. We kill it and as we kill it a cinematic shows a single drop of the void falling into the sunwell.
Enter last titan. Opening story is the titan is corrupted and sends a signal to the titans some how, or Algalon does.
Raid 1 is us fighting Azeroth. Our capital city will be Ulduar with an entire Northrend Revamp. We win the fight, we purify the Titan and find out that the Titans that are coming.
Final Raid is us siding with Azeroth to defend the planet from the titans who are just going to obliterate it to save it. Azeroth Genocides the Titans and that forces a collapse in reality. Chromie or Nozdormu says "we must go champion to save it. Azeroth is locked in a stasis and we teleport back in time, everyone to the black empire OR the War of the ancients. That part im still trying to figure out.
We are going to be thinking about how we milk a 2 year expansion into 3 one year expansions and we figured it out! You will get 2 raids and 1 major patch per expansion! The same amount of content but with more money for us! Isn't it great?
400th like. Just sayin. Good day!
"a whole another chapter after the saga" .... hmmm
I am noting (and appreciating) the absence of he-who-must-not-be-named on any panel, with initials of S.D. I don't need his lame and boring and convoluted and destructive "narratives" and retcons
I hope the last titan is the final expansion and make a new Warcraft game otherwise the game is too complex.
It’s not. It’s just the end of the Worldsoul saga story
His crossed legs look weird
Hope Last Titan means they wipe the lore clean and go back to the roots through time stuff. Modern WoW lore is so incredibly badly written compared to what it should be, and as solely an RPG it's utterly worthless trash cause then you can compare it to stuff like Witcher 3 and BG3. I hope they go back to the "the world is the main character"-stuff, cause they're obviously not nearly as capable as FF14 writers as an example. Me and many I know will not go back to WoW since a few expansions back, not until there is clear evidence that it's not just another hype and dump train. People should stop calling wins before they happen and just feed bullshit, but people won't cause of the cocaine effect or just being fucking dumb.
Putting these Devs on a pedestal and making the Devs feel like they are above all of us is part of the reason the last 10 years of WoW sucked.
you're new to WoW, aren't you? the devs are nowadays not even that praised, you should have seen the first few expansions of WoW, when devs were worshipped like actual gods
bfa had island expeditions and wasnt popular
shadowlands had torghast and wasnt popular
dragonflight had nothing like that and was popular
devs: delves is a good idea
do you know why those things weren't popular? I'll give you a hint: it was because they were required for raiding and m+, which delves won't be
