Also, to point out, there's actually is still an advantage to TBC flying than Dragonriding, and that's stability. There are a few quests I can remember in DF where it was far easier to complete with TBC riding than DR. For example, the final quest for the Winterpelt storyline which required you to collect ten pine-cones from a nearby tree. That being said, I'm glad they are bringing Dragon Riding and no longer seem to have a GM vs Player mentality when it comes to flying.
it’s also better for flying extremely long distances in an efficient manner. unless you descend from a really high jumping point (storm peaks, mt hyjal, highmountain, thaldrazsus, etc) and are very strategic and skilled at skyriding, it’s hard to cover extremely vast distances without periodically landing and recharging energy
@@snowlondon8642 I've flown across the map multiple times and never had to land for stam hahaha thats purely a skill issue. Vigor regenerates incredibly fast if you aren't just spamming the forward button the whole time
oh yeah the warband bank having crafting upgrades, i will at least put all current stuff in there and make a bunch of dual gatherers of various types for my alts and then a few crafting professions to use them, so i have plenty to gather while leveling
As an older player now who doesn't have much time to dedicate to raids and instead does a lot of collecting and playing of alts this is by far the most excited I have been for changes in a long time in retail!
There should not have been restrictions on class locked sets for legacy content. They should make the legacy class sets to be bound on warband I until equipped.
this i was pretty excited for the tmog run potentials but most of the time im there for a class set. its still nice, but i dont see why this is a hill they chose to die on.
Exactly, since we can trade the tokens, but can't at least trade the class sets? The warband thing is next to useless for transmog farming outside of BFA and first 2 raids of Shadowlands. I just ran a legion raid to see how much I can get, and I only got 2 things from Tomb. I have no idea why they come up with some good ideas and then be stingy about them when it comes to certain aspects related to it. They're a bunch of overgrown children at this point. At least let us trade the class specific pieces of gear.
@@sseetthh I'm very curious where the crying from me was? Calling out the hypocrisy isn't crying. Or is any criticism crying to you? You're definitely soft. Typical from wow players. I bet you're built like Asmongold, too

@@MarcellusWallace91ppl still don’t know how to play there classes even with gear. And why would you gear an alt if you weren’t going to do content? It’s an archaic system
Absolutely agree about steady flight being locked in TWW. Approx 30% of the population is susceptible to motion sickness. Dragonriding makes me so nauseous I stopped playing WOW for the first three months of Dragonflight I was so pissed off. I did as much as I could with ground mounts. My husband did the dragonriding bits for me to get the achievement so I could use steady flying mounts. It was NOT a pleasant experience. I'm in BETA now, and again - the storyline makes using dragonriding flight style essential. I've played this game since Vanilla. Personally, I hate being forced into a particular playing style. I don't do PVP - so why are there PVE quests that force me to do that? I don't want to use dragonriding - don't force me to. I mean, if we're adding Arachnophobia settings for the 6% of the population that is affected, why not steady flight for the 30% affected?
ideally for me the character select screen, there could be a base 4-5 character background for exalted status with appropriate factions and then ones with more characters for achievements, and or questline bonuses
Immediately after new players experience exiles reach, they should go to their home zone and work their way as we did so many years ago. Then after completing the starting zone or even just right after the reach they should be sent to Chromie or whoever and decide which expansion to experience INCLUDING classic zones. Its like the classic option in retail is just non existent and its a shame because older zones are more relaxing and make a smooth experience for new players. New players don't know who Alextrasza is or the Lich King...and will literally wonder, "what sword?" I know I miss being able to que for Deadmines and Shadowfang Keep, some of the original dungeons that shaped some of the most amazing stories in the game.
@@leinonibishop9480you cannot pick. That's the point. You're funneled into dragonflight. If you don't like it, too bad. You don't get any option to choose with Chromie as a new player.
The account-wide currency is a great idea but very poorly implemented. Just have one account-wide wallet so you don't have to keep transferring. that's going to piss people off quickly.
With leveling seeing a huge decrease in time, at what point do we just jump straight to max level? It already takes just a few hours. Everything seems to be moving towards experiencing end game content almost immediately and ignoring everything in between, which isn't healthy for longevity.
I hope the warband toon screen will have poses and emotes that each race will have something unique for. It will add so much depth to everyone’s personal experience with the game just by letting us have so many options to be different to everyone else.
Concerning the release date: The splash screen specifically states that the *event* starts july 30th. If the patch dropped that same day, it would just say *available now* or not have a date at all. The fact that it does specify the date heavily implies that the pre-patch drops at least a week before the 30th.
When TWW within comes I plan to set up my warband with one character of each armor type (Mail, Cloth, Plate, Leather), so if I'm playing a mail class like hunter and I kill a mob and it drops a piece of plate gear, I can either unlock it's appearance directly or stick it in my warband bank and then log on to my plate warband character and take the gear and use it on them if it's an upgrade to the gear my plate character already has equipped.
Remember that for anything to become Warband, you'll have to login on every character you have to refresh them on the game server after the pre-patch becomes live! (More than likely, as this has been the case with other updates of this kind in the past.)
You want to do this again once TWW properly launches...you don't acrue rested XP until you login to a character, so login to all of them as soon as you can once TWW is live
Steady flying gives an advantage in two very distinct ways, despite the downplaying by some players: Druid gatherers have a massive advantage over other gatherers by using Steady Flying in flight form. And cherry-picking mob tags.
I think the fact that the splash screen shows a date indicates that the prepatch will arrive before the event arrives. My estimate for the date of arrival is the 23rd July which gives Blizz a week to sort out any issues found before they have the prepatch event come around.
I don't feel lvling faster is a good thing. The lvling is where you get to know your char and you figure out how to play. Im not saying you have to be a pro when hitting max lvl but it is no fun figuring out your toon in the endgame as toxicity will rule over friendlyness.
Leveling is good for getting a grasp on your class, and that's it. The way you play at endgame usually has little resemblance to how you level. You are not only expected, but required to meta game anyway at end game, and you should be hitting up a target dummy until you have your rotation down cold. Having to waste days leveling isn't going to significantly improve your gameplay.
@@OrbObserver You seem to have a lot of fun playing this game. Jeez XD For 95% of the Players what you said is plain irrelevant. But maybe i didn't get you sarcasm.
You arent gonna have most of your end game abilities on most classes until 50-60, your levelling rotation is gonna be wildly different and you aren't gonna be practicing what you'll actually do at max. Warrior, paladin, hunter, demon hunter, mage, all the classes I've played at max spam abilities from the bottom of the talent tree
While I agree with you in principle, the focus from Blizzard is the end game. In classic the journey to max level was much of the game. When you get handed something instead of working to earn it the reward or achievement doesn't feel as meaningful.
I reckon the steady flying achievement is likely an anti bot measure. Bots will have a far easier time with steady flight so locking it behind something adds set up time for each bot account
The achievment isn´t THAT bad anyway - just do the TWW campain, level to 80 (which you will probably do during the campain anyway) and explore all areas of the new map. Plus, it is account-wide, so you just have to unlock it on one character. No rep grind or anything like that.
I must give Blizzard credit that these upcoming changes as well as those introduced in the current expansion have made the game more enjoyable. I'm not happy with the complexity of the crafting aspect but it's nothing major to me. Thank you again Kelani for the great information (as usual).
July 30th is confirmed. I saw something confirming we can collect the echoes on July 30th. So, I'd imagine that's the prepatch. Also, there's still some abilities that are bugged and do nothing. The warrior is really bugged, for example. They made a change to Reckless Abandon, and it only procs once and never again. Only way it procs again is if you log out, or switch specs. Then there's also talents that increase Raging Blow damage and don't even increase it. They seem more focused on tuning than actually fixing bugs, which is bad. I've submitted bugs about them and the Evoker Mass Disintegrate hero ability, and nothing has been done. Though, the warrior one is fairly new; not counting the raging blow talent not working.
Regarding armor unlocks from quests - does it also unlock stuff retroactively for quests you already completed? Asking as someone who did Loremaster many years ago and doesn't want to do all these quests again... :')
I still think prepatch will be 23rd of July, with the event starting on the 30th. Reason being the retirements of guild realm transfers on July 22nd, why would they retire that a week before cross realm guilds become a thing in prepatch? 1 day before seems more logical
13:43 you dont have to do BFA as soon as you get to your faction capitol you can just go strait to Cromie, was just lvling a new alt today & they tried to pigeon hole me into that, I did the work to unlock all the alli races for BOTH factions, nothing is getting me back there.
Appreciate you. I always playbat start of expansion and then leavebforlike a year andpop back on not knowing what to do. You saved me a lot of time I would have maybe spent tryin to level alts or farm mog. Now I know to wait till prepatch.
Make warband bank, price the tabs ridiculously. Man I just love how Blizz with every good change in the game they managed to always, ALWAYS fk it up in the same step as well. Every single time xD.
The only thing I would want to change with warbands, is to make that front page show 5 characters (like a dungeon party). 4 just feels like an odd number.
I'm not 100% sure but my guess as to why they don't allow regular flying immediately is because druids would have a huge advantage in the world first leveling achievements. Again just my guess
thats because DK wears plate and you can always wear any weaker armor type; try that with a priest and you'll see that you're severely limited for mogs
« without having to jump around several different characters, you can just earn it all on one character » … you made me realize this is actually not quite true. Now, if you farm specific transmogs for one specific armor type, you can have as many chances to loot the item as your characters amount. Before, it was stuck to just the characters that could wear the same armor type. So HELL YEAH you’re gonna be character hoping ahahah
Holy moly that's a lot of gold cost for that warband tab. Good thing I have a lot saved up and have resisted buying things from the black market AH or other super expensive mounts/pets. What's the current total for all those tabs? It looked like it gets more expensive for each one so only the last one is 2.5M, so something like 2.5m +500K +250k + 50K?
I would want visual glyphs back. Frost or Arcane Paladin could be cool for example. This must re-paint your spells and icons too properly, not just the charracter, Frost would be wintery themed.
I have a question about the Warband achievements. I can understand that reps are to begin with only what we should consider live (Dragronflight and The War Within). As it is now your charater claims the achievement, like I have a main named Sal, and an old main named Gar (now an alt). Gar have made some achievement Sal havent yet. Will Gar claim those for the Warband or will it simply just unlock as an account thing. The reason why I ask is because back when ESO made all achievements accountwide it was the first character that logged in that claimed them.
Please, can anyone confirm is there going to be favorite character templates? So u can quickly swap ur set of characters rather than look and pick one by one in ur stockpile of alts. If no, then kelani suggest them do one!
So, I can no longer traverse the continent on my dragon, and then quickly switch to my compass rose while questing in the area? That is a significant QOL nerf.
Not without swapping between flying types which takes 5 seconds. I keep two mounts on my bars currently and use the steady flying one to jump between mobs or items on a quest but the dragon flying one for general travel. It's going to be less co convenient to have to switch it every time now.
Sounds great with Chromie time but what about toons standing in old expansions for easier to farm rep and things I want from those expansions? I have a few lvl 60 toons standing in older expansions just for easier rep farm and to farm other things I want. Will the level of the old expansions stay as they are now or will they increase their levels outside of Chromie time? Almost need to know if I have to start leveling them up from 60 to 70.
I'm wondering the same thing. Also, will all the old raids and dungeons now go up to 70? I'm solo farming old raids and that will become near impossible for me if I have to heavily gear up an 80 to do it. I don't really get into end game content ... Which is why I go back and farm stuff later. I really hate scaling in general. I'm supposed to be exploring the world, the world is not supposed to modify itself to fit my level. The only thing that's made it tolerable is having previous expansions grouped from each other. If everything is only one expansion behind, you'll only have a max ten level advantage over old content.
finally I can unlock the mogs for the tier sets from bwl.. been grinding for the priest bracers for months, always getting them when looking for the druid leggings... just tried with my mage and one of the tiers for warrior came in :)
I wanna know about titles; specifically about titles from the legion class-order halls like "Huntmaster" - will they get unlocked if you unlocked the achievement the title before - without having to do the thing all over again and again as before? Or will it have to be done over and over?
I still don't get why that currency transfer is neccessary. Why not make it just an accountwide currency tab? That manual transfer system is like manufacturing a super expensive sports car and make it run on charcoal that you have to shovel yourself. It's basically another half assed system. Other MMO's have done anything accountwide better for ages and Blizz can't program an accountwide currency without involving steps inbetween.. The excuse of "Not wanting to create potential confusement" is such bullshit compared to the need to log through all of your chars to see if any one of them has any of the currency left you need at the moment. Having to switch constantly if you actively play more than 1 Char is the EXACT opposite of what such a system should achieve. It's a lame and lazy excuse of the truth: They are too lazy to fix legacy code to allow these things and just slap ANOTHER bandaid fix over it that will create more problems in the next 5 years than fixing the initial problem would've done.
Bro I was grinding Nightfallen to get my DH class set, and was thinking about doing the monk one but I was just so... put off by the prospect of doing it again. This is huge!
I still have one key for dragonriding and one key bind for regular. when in cities, the regular flying is much better and easier to navigate, so I wonder which mounts will be "steady flying only" in TWW
You think transmogs previously unlocked will become available or is this just a going forward thing? I bought a bunch of sets with bronze like an idiot and forgot that this wasn’t live yet

You are not only expected, but required to meta game anyway at end game, and you should be hitting up a target dummy until you have your rotation down cold. Having to waste days leveling isn't going to significantly improve your gameplay.
@@OrbObserver You seem to have a lot of fun playing this game. Jeez XD For 95% of the Players what you said is plain irrelevant. But maybe i didn't get you sarcasm.
You arent gonna have most of your end game abilities on most classes until 50-60, your levelling rotation is gonna be wildly different and you aren't gonna be practicing what you'll actually do at max. Warrior, paladin, hunter, demon hunter, mage, all the classes I've played at max spam abilities from the bottom of the talent tree
While I agree with you in principle, the focus from Blizzard is the end game. In classic the journey to max level was much of the game. When you get handed something instead of working to earn it the reward or achievement doesn't feel as meaningful.
No thank you. I would completely skip leveling if I could. Theres classic for that.
Steady Flying is a lot easier when getting treasures on narrow branches and ledges that are high up
Hopefully they make heirlooms relevant again. You can run dungeons in the gear from there is better.
omg that camera revamp will be so great, wow has needed that forever
I'm very much looking forward to the warband bank. No more having to mail resources between alts. Just dump them all in and craft easily.
I reckon the steady flying achievement is likely an anti bot measure. Bots will have a far easier time with steady flight so locking it behind something adds set up time for each bot account
The achievment isn´t THAT bad anyway - just do the TWW campain, level to 80 (which you will probably do during the campain anyway) and explore all areas of the new map. Plus, it is account-wide, so you just have to unlock it on one character. No rep grind or anything like that.
@@veronikamajerova4564 I agree wholeheartedly. Glad the days of endless rep grinds and 2 patches before flight is added are behind us...
I must give Blizzard credit that these upcoming changes as well as those introduced in the current expansion have made the game more enjoyable. I'm not happy with the complexity of the crafting aspect but it's nothing major to me. Thank you again Kelani for the great information (as usual).
July 30th is confirmed. I saw something confirming we can collect the echoes on July 30th. So, I'd imagine that's the prepatch. Also, there's still some abilities that are bugged and do nothing. The warrior is really bugged, for example. They made a change to Reckless Abandon, and it only procs once and never again. Only way it procs again is if you log out, or switch specs. Then there's also talents that increase Raging Blow damage and don't even increase it. They seem more focused on tuning than actually fixing bugs, which is bad. I've submitted bugs about them and the Evoker Mass Disintegrate hero ability, and nothing has been done. Though, the warrior one is fairly new; not counting the raging blow talent not working.
Mog change is such a huge W
the new ui toon screen is so great
Regarding armor unlocks from quests - does it also unlock stuff retroactively for quests you already completed? Asking as someone who did Loremaster many years ago and doesn't want to do all these quests again... :')
I am definitely hoping this is the case because I have been putting off all these transmogs on alts in hopes this takes care of it
My bet is on pre-patch dropping July 2nd, gotta time those events and releases to make sure everyone with a monthly sub stays until TWW launch
So anxious for the new updates. Kinda wish we could have multiple warbands.
I am surprised that the pre-patch gear is only 480. You can get 486 gear quickly from doing nothing but flying through dreamsurge orbs
While questing, you need to get up a ledge that's JUST too high to jump up to (specifically for DKs) "steady flight" is a godsend.
I still think prepatch will be 23rd of July, with the event starting on the 30th.
Reason being the retirements of guild realm transfers on July 22nd, why would they retire that a week before cross realm guilds become a thing in prepatch? 1 day before seems more logical
13:43 you dont have to do BFA as soon as you get to your faction capitol you can just go strait to Cromie, was just lvling a new alt today & they tried to pigeon hole me into that, I did the work to unlock all the alli races for BOTH factions, nothing is getting me back there.
New players have to do bfa on their first toon and then chromie time is unlocked for alts.
Since transmog is now account wide they should add class filters to vendors not just "all/only your class/only your spec"
Appreciate you. I always playbat start of expansion and then leavebforlike a year andpop back on not knowing what to do. You saved me a lot of time I would have maybe spent tryin to level alts or farm mog. Now I know to wait till prepatch.
Im looking forward to dragon ride with my trusty Eves Ghastly Rider! :D
YES!!
Make warband bank, price the tabs ridiculously. Man I just love how Blizz with every good change in the game they managed to always, ALWAYS fk it up in the same step as well. Every single time xD.
The only thing I would want to change with warbands, is to make that front page show 5 characters (like a dungeon party). 4 just feels like an odd number.
I completely agree
Why does it say available not launches on like it normally does? The Pre-patch probably launches on the 23rd with the event starting on the 30th.
That’s true
I'm not 100% sure but my guess as to why they don't allow regular flying immediately is because druids would have a huge advantage in the world first leveling achievements. Again just my guess
Wish they'd also increase or separate the quest limit. 25 in total is very limited
I can't wait for brand new content like talents and scenarios. Truly ground-breaking.
At 6:49 someone in chat got the Galleon mount.
Any chance you could cover the technical changes too? saw a lot of changes in the Graphics menu
tmog changes is one the best upgrades
what about the quests that have already been completed tho? do we get transmog for those or do we have to do the Loremaster again?
I'm not sure but I think this will only count for transmogs you collect after the prepatch
Your voice sounds so friendly! You should read children’s audiobooks.
Love your videos man! Keep up the good work 😊
The mop remix sets apply to your account no matter if that character can use it. I got all the sets on a dk and they work across all my characters.
thats because DK wears plate and you can always wear any weaker armor type; try that with a priest and you'll see that you're severely limited for mogs
@@kerrykent9325 Some of the mop remix sets work on any character, Like the dark shamans set or panderen starting zone set
Finallyyyy it’s about to get way faster/easier to farm those first satyr shoulders from emerald nightmare
« without having to jump around several different characters, you can just earn it all on one character »
… you made me realize this is actually not quite true. Now, if you farm specific transmogs for one specific armor type, you can have as many chances to loot the item as your characters amount. Before, it was stuck to just the characters that could wear the same armor type. So HELL YEAH you’re gonna be character hoping ahahah
Holy moly that's a lot of gold cost for that warband tab. Good thing I have a lot saved up and have resisted buying things from the black market AH or other super expensive mounts/pets. What's the current total for all those tabs? It looked like it gets more expensive for each one so only the last one is 2.5M, so something like 2.5m +500K +250k + 50K?
I would want visual glyphs back.
Frost or Arcane Paladin could be cool for example.
This must re-paint your spells and icons too properly, not just the charracter, Frost would be wintery themed.
all of this sounds awesome!
The class lock takes away the reason I was excited about it.
Most of it’s unlocked though. So it’s not a massive loss.
what class lock?
@@dariominiello9934 Tmog. Thought I was done grinding antorus, guess not.
Same. Means i still dont unlock the warglaives i got on my hunter… RIP
@@72APTU72Eyou gotta do a few legion quests to unlock it, wowhead has a guide
I'm playing a Ret Paladin at the momeny, and i can't lie, those Hero Talents and there descriptions got me excited. God i love being a ret paladin
All i want to known if will my priest Justicar will make my other toons Justicar.
I have a question about the Warband achievements. I can understand that reps are to begin with only what we should consider live (Dragronflight and The War Within). As it is now your charater claims the achievement, like I have a main named Sal, and an old main named Gar (now an alt). Gar have made some achievement Sal havent yet. Will Gar claim those for the Warband or will it simply just unlock as an account thing.
The reason why I ask is because back when ESO made all achievements accountwide it was the first character that logged in that claimed them.
just make reagent banks warband wide??? dont see why not
The warband bank will function essentially like a reagent bank, but I get your point. Almost nothing will be going into my reagent bank.
As an altoholic, bless warband.
The camera updates are welcome 😊
Any step to getting rid of addons.
I thought they opened up the class restricted transmog unlocks.
Steady flying is abusable by people botting, thats why is behind an achi
What banger changes.... I love the QoL
Please, can anyone confirm is there going to be favorite character templates? So u can quickly swap ur set of characters rather than look and pick one by one in ur stockpile of alts. If no, then kelani suggest them do one!
So, I can no longer traverse the continent on my dragon, and then quickly switch to my compass rose while questing in the area? That is a significant QOL nerf.
@benjaminandersen8482
I agree i would like the option to be able to select the type of flying i want to do with a specific mount.
...yes you can
Not without swapping between flying types which takes 5 seconds. I keep two mounts on my bars currently and use the steady flying one to jump between mobs or items on a quest but the dragon flying one for general travel. It's going to be less co convenient to have to switch it every time now.
"Farming transmogs is going to be so much easier", except when everybody in the raid is rolling on transmog gear that they can't equip.
...except people already do that. It's called the need versus greed system. That's why it's called "greed", ya dummy.
Yeah that definitely might be a problem
Sounds great with Chromie time but what about toons standing in old expansions for easier to farm rep and things I want from those expansions? I have a few lvl 60 toons standing in older expansions just for easier rep farm and to farm other things I want. Will the level of the old expansions stay as they are now or will they increase their levels outside of Chromie time? Almost need to know if I have to start leveling them up from 60 to 70.
I'm wondering the same thing. Also, will all the old raids and dungeons now go up to 70? I'm solo farming old raids and that will become near impossible for me if I have to heavily gear up an 80 to do it. I don't really get into end game content ... Which is why I go back and farm stuff later. I really hate scaling in general. I'm supposed to be exploring the world, the world is not supposed to modify itself to fit my level. The only thing that's made it tolerable is having previous expansions grouped from each other. If everything is only one expansion behind, you'll only have a max ten level advantage over old content.
Any idea if transmog items (like shadowlands) will be retroactive? Or do we have to go through it all again?
finally I can unlock the mogs for the tier sets from bwl.. been grinding for the priest bracers for months, always getting them when looking for the druid leggings... just tried with my mage and one of the tiers for warrior came in :)
I wanna know about titles; specifically about titles from the legion class-order halls like "Huntmaster" - will they get unlocked if you unlocked the achievement the title before - without having to do the thing all over again and again as before? Or will it have to be done over and over?
I still don't get why that currency transfer is neccessary. Why not make it just an accountwide currency tab? That manual transfer system is like manufacturing a super expensive sports car and make it run on charcoal that you have to shovel yourself. It's basically another half assed system. Other MMO's have done anything accountwide better for ages and Blizz can't program an accountwide currency without involving steps inbetween..
The excuse of "Not wanting to create potential confusement" is such bullshit compared to the need to log through all of your chars to see if any one of them has any of the currency left you need at the moment. Having to switch constantly if you actively play more than 1 Char is the EXACT opposite of what such a system should achieve. It's a lame and lazy excuse of the truth: They are too lazy to fix legacy code to allow these things and just slap ANOTHER bandaid fix over it that will create more problems in the next 5 years than fixing the initial problem would've done.
Can't wait to do the one achievement to get normal flying XD whatever the achievement is...
Bro I was grinding Nightfallen to get my DH class set, and was thinking about doing the monk one but I was just so... put off by the prospect of doing it again. This is huge!
i made a new character recently and you get to choose exiles reach or the classic starting zone
I literally manifested the transmog change, I got thindefiury two years ago on my shaman needless to say it’s still in my Bags 🤣
will the quest rewards be retroactive
Hope Reagent bank will have more tabs also, not just base one.
As a lapsed player, planning to come back for TWW it's all a bit daunting. Hopefully it goes smoothly for me.
Looking forward to the zoom change
I still have one key for dragonriding and one key bind for regular. when in cities, the regular flying is much better and easier to navigate, so I wonder which mounts will be "steady flying only" in TWW
are keystone hero portals becoming account-wide?
With the Warbands, is it better to have an alt that uses the same gear type as your main? So I can share my plate/str loot from my Paladin to DK?
You think transmogs previously unlocked will become available or is this just a going forward thing? I bought a bunch of sets with bronze like an idiot and forgot that this wasn’t live yet
Will they allow us to have more Dracthyr than 1?
Sound like the renamed "Accound-wide" just got renamed to "warband"
