1000%, Yes! Honestly, anything from the art team would be incredible. But I do get the privacy, game communities aren’t always the nicest to interact with.
Agreed... I am fairly sure that the art and design team are all DEI hires and related to key developers or management and have demonstrated a complete lack of anything appealing or simply just a cut and paste that Jr Highschool kids could do.
Warbands auto-complete quests (without gaining rewards). It might not be every quest, but it should cover most side quests. Removing tracking on them isn't really helpful. For example, Mayla would still be standing in the middle of Valdrakken on all my alts, even though I've already helped Baine.
I really hope that the devs find a method so that you can collect class specific items/tier pieces (like the items from legion raids) on other classes. Make them war bound and post them over to the correct class like they have with the older tier tokens. Or it seems to under mind the change to transmog collecting, with still then having to run each class through those raids to get the mogs.

All the reps should be account wide... I did Glimerogg and Furbolg. They are no different than any other renown or rep in the game. It's literally all the same thing idk where this ''character specific journey'' thing is coming from. The language is literally the only logic i can see and it's ridiculous reasoning imo Let me have a clean Rep window showing what I did across all my characters. It's not hard... I don't see how this is seen as the best way to do reps going forward. Be consistent. U either do it, or you don't. Make up ur mind.
Healers in general should get a damage buff when not in a group, or in the case of Delves, even with the companion. I love being a healer, but it sucks to do solo content like quest and in the future delves
Question to pose to the devs would be, in relation to wanting to make more stuff warbound, how about the crests? I'm not asking for it straight away but say half way, three quarters the way through a season it would be great to send all those unused crests from your main and send them to your alts for faster gearing. It seems slightly ridiculous that I have currently 372 spare aspect crests just sat there on my season main, and another just short of 500 on the other characters that are now finished with crest farming, that could be used on one of the other alts that I am gearing - This would also reduce the inflation of gold within the economy as at the end of the expac that is going to all be converted to gold, yeah it's going to be a small amount but times that by each character, then by each person it's probably a fair chunk. You've still earned those crests on one character, and it will promote the alt friendliness they want to seemingly achieve. Why should I have to run the dungeons another 50 times just to get the same amount of crests that I have spare just sat there on my main. It's not like I'm going to be doing all the work on my main to then funnel to my alt whilst my main still needs crests that's just irresponsible. I would still have to go do the dungeons for getting the vault slots, so it's not going to reduce my participation in the activity it's just going to make more logical sense that I get a piece of gear and then say "oh I have to still farm another 45 aspects crests (4 dungeons) to achieve full potential of the item, multiply that by each piece of gear
I have no qualms with Shammy tank, but I'm not as excited for it. NElf on the other hand needs to happen. There were several NElf shaman villains in DF season 1.
Many people would lose their minds at shaman tank - it would be awesome. I would probably jump straight on that as a tank main. NE shamans would also be nice. Same with the KT paladins. And every other class that is restricted by race. It's time to let that go, in my opinion.
In case someone on the dev team reads comments idk if the "increasing the racial cds for non-evoker classes," would totally solve the problem in all cases. There could be some specific class and spec combinations where the dracthyr racials are that OP that you would be crazy not to play a dracthyr "insert class and spec name here," even if you only get to press those buttons once on average per dungeon boss, raid boss, delve, pvp (arena or bg), etc. Plus (and maybe I just missed his answer to this), what happens with the passive racial for non-evoker classes?
@@ksl-988 I didn't misspeak, I don't need a sticky note thank you. They're talking about dracthyr becoming other classes like warrior, rogue, mage, etc and how the dracthyr's racial abilities will act on those classes. I'm simply saying increasing the cd of those non-passive racials may not be enough on say a dracthyr mage because it's so beneficial to have the extra knocks in mythic+ that even only having it once or twice in a dungeon is super OP. My final question was about their passive racials and how that would work on other classes like rogue, priest, etc because one of their passives gives some % of secondary stats to the 3 specs of evoker.
All reps should be warbanded. For the choice factions like Gadgetzan, start the rep at 0, but give the quartermaster a quest that immediately catches you up to whatever character has the highest rep. (CharA is exhalted with FactionA, CharB is revered with FactionB, CharC takes said quest from FactionB and immediately becomes revered.)
The best way to handle Evoker racials is literally to give them the pvp treatment. 45 sec pve cd increased 15 secs when used in any content flagged as pvp. Very easy fix without having to do any talent changing. We already know they have the ability to tune stuff based on content being done.
It's sad u skipped the tank question, I would have like to hear explenation for the last changes and the Feedback that some of those (for example DS) can not go live this way
Oh you had a great opportunity for their racials to be updated and just bake current ones to evoker. Having those kocks is too good in a lot of team combat
Feedback: Yes, please let us collect tier set drops from any character when running legacy raids. That seems to be a major reason why players run legacy raids and I could see where lacking the ability to collect tier sets might result in players forgoing transmog farming until they change it.
I don't understand why they think period would want to have to collect class-specific transmog on that specific class when everything else has opened up. I gain no sense of pride or accomplishment grinding out MC transmog on my 8th character class...

How dare you talk about "great feedback" when some classes gets literaly zero changes throughout beta cycle while having obvious issues? And on opposite side we have mage/warlock which one was getting new whole trees for 7-8 weeks straight? In what world this is even remotly close to "reacting" to feedback? Dh, rogue, priests so f*cked going into TWW its unbelievable how is it even real. Like just how? Oh sorry I wont get any answer or "feedback" from you coz some class dev busy posting POE related stuff on his twitter while beta still going. Good job. Keep it up.
Why half the classes got core talents reworked or improved while also having great new Hero talents when other haven't really been touched and got super lackluster Hero talents? Finally why some classes like Rogue and DH had a funeral and got visibly worse design wise, nerfed compared to DF, with Hero talents that do not fit spec's gameplay at all, are hard to even care about with non-existed visuals? The design/visuals/gameplay and overall quality gap in classes is now colossal.
@MrGM Great video content, as usual, as always, reallyappreciate & like your work and doings ! Much greetings and well wishes to you and to your family from your serbian fans from Serbia 🇷🇸 !
Warbanks are working fantastically! LOL I get it this is a pretty big deal but 14hrs and no idea how long it will take to be implemented is crazy. It was a main feature!
I would just say they missed the mark on several spec even if some specs feel good thematically. Great job on warlock, horrible job on rogues for comparison.
Im excited for the confidence on tuning from george. however, one thing that feels really really bad is the difference between No talent preist builds Holy's smite does 75% more damage than Disc smite. again, 0 talents and everything involved. I know why they did it, its because the tier set would be OP with the double smits on disc. however it feels like blizzard is lying when they call that same spell smite. So when george says they can just tweak things just for the class themselfs. i feel like it takes away from what the SPELLS from fundamentally the foundation of the Spell Name. a homoginization would fix alot of the button bloat/extra defencives. if your nerfing tanks, you can get rid of ALOT of the trivial Spike group damage. which leads to less stops. which also leads to feeling like your a spellcaster clothy. which should feel powerful if you can sit and cast, but bad against daggers and 2h wepons pummaling your face. it sure feels like mages are "tankier" than hunters. and it all feels pretty much as if NUMBERS mean more than actual class design.
Warband groups. I'd love to see us be able to group characters so that we could easily shift our Warband without doing it individually. As you say...super niche since I am a Character Hoarder.
If possible, can you make an option for the tracker icon to be larger when you’re in the world going to a new quest? I find it too small with my visual impairment. it’s easy to lose when you’re flying or running around.
I would actually be interested in reducing the XP gains. A tabard of sorts that reduces your XP gains by 80%, increases the damage you take by 100% and reduces the damage you do by 100%. Something like that.
I thought about something like this . But my idea was more in the realm of mop remix. Where you get a harder more classicesque leveling while still being retail and in the end your character joins the same server. Could be combined with some title or transmig. Think that would be neat.
I want to know about Warband Quest Log; ie: if I do the first 3 quests of a 10-long chain, and then log in as an alt, I'd like to see that I'm on the 4th quest. I don't want to have to write down somewherwe what quests I'm on, so that I cna pick them up on my alt and continue on the alt..
what about pvp?? Solo shuffle que times being 30min+ is unacceptable! How do you guys expect people to pay $15 a month to spend 70% of their time waiting around and not being able to play the game in the aspect we want.. We pvpers are literally spending more time in que waiting around than playing the game. 30-60 minute que times for dps to then have a match end within 10 minutes while paying for a sub is insanity. And the addition of solo shuffle has pretty much killed the 3s LFG bracket and LFG/3s is more dead than ever this expansion so then it feels like we are almost forced to play solo shuffle for 3s, but then we are forced into these massive que times. I shouldnt be able to que a solo shuffle, Load up another game, que up a match, play the entire match in another game, win that lobby, then tab back into wow just to see im still in que and it has never popped.. Fix this or many of us PvPers will not be subbing to play this game. 15$ a month to sit in que is wild.
Suggestion for more warband things - please make BoP recipes warband bound. Farming some of the older raids like Sunwell for months and getting a leatherworking recipe on my tailor for example is really demoralizing
Ive never played Shaman seriously, too close to Druid without all the things I like about Druid, but i would play the shit out of a blue, lightning slinging Dracthyr Shaman.

How do the devs feel about the fact that a large number of demon hunters would rather have an aura buff than have the hero talents that the devs have ignored feedback for throughout the beta? I'm not talking about the damage tuning, it's about the gameplay. I hope the "or even redesign" was with aldrachi reaver in mind specifically. George mentioned his guild being frustrated with him for not having a main picked yet, and guilds are frustrated with DHs too because the DHs don't want to commit to it with how the playstyle looks right now.
"Changes with hero talents" aka making things like Packleader respectable ....so many hero talent trees are NOT as "great as they can be" and they missed huge on these. I mean you literally can't even tell if someone is a Packerleader hunter, there's no spell effects and there's several specs like this.
Why would nerffing tanks=RIP M+ and pugging? What nerffing tanks does is make the difference between a good tank and a bad tank less significant. If anything this would make pugging better.
@@austinkerr7356 well obviously, good tanks push with specific teams or sell keys. They don’t pug with random players, hence less people tanking because it will be harder to tank. If you don’t see this, idk what to say mate. It’s an unnecessary last minute change.
@sebs6736 you are incorrect. Nerffing tanks does not make tanks harder to play. Nerffing tanks makes tanks easier to play. The reason why good tanks and high level m+ players are upset is because with the nerfs they cannot self sustain. With tanks being nerffed, people that are not as skilled will not be punished as much as good players. I think you are misunderstanding what the nerfs actually mean.
@NeverAware how will tanks that can't sustain themselves ruin keys? Tanks might not have as much fun because they know rely on healers more but I don't see how it will ruin keys. And what does you pugging 3k+ have anything to do with them nerffing tanks and making the skill ceiling lower? From where I stand you are not the brightest. Please give an argument to what I said...not just "I pug 3k+ I know that it will ruin keys" give actual facts to your arguement.
No introduction for hero talents is so sad. There should be some sort of short questline that introduces hero talents and gives you an immersion into it. Not just "hey, you have 20 new talents" enjoy.
I dont think they should use any of the active racials for dracthyr for any other class. If they do, only one of them, not both. They also can not give the dracthyr jump to other classes. Otherwise why play any other race at that point.
There is no reason AT LEAST Tier sets shouldnt be unlocked. Class specific quest items like Lok delar at least make sense to lock, but tier sets? PLEASE.
Shame on Peter Hodge and George Velev for letting Balance Druids sink to it's current state. Shame on Ion for allowing this mediocrity after advertising Hero Talents with balance druid first in line then proceeding to ignoring it after a couple of passes. SHAME!!! WTFFFF i'm regretting even buying the epic expansion very early on just to be insulted by LAZINESS on the part of the devs!
Hey George why did you think giving lock and loaded instant aim shot talent to low levels would be a great idea? especially in pvp. especially with instant kill shot. Why did you and your team neglected horrendous stat distribution bellow max level for over 3 expansions? Why there are no safeguards for high damage output in general? Why everything must get 1-2 shoted in pve? Why neglect balance in leveling pvp for over a decade and ran it to the ground?
then whats the point of even playing wow or trying to get new players to play the game? the game is really good at pushing players away. most devs interviews are concerned at pushing their mythic+ keys. it's not an mmo anymore it's an arcade. honestly, who is this game for?
Месяц назад
@@asz-p4m you play Vanilla/TBC/Wotlk or SoD as a new player, Retail WoW is for players who are doing RMT and those with sunk cost fallacy.
Would like warband group to be 5 instead of 4 so you could have your own whole dungeon group....also Holly Longdale has teased this as a future feature.
Please just move the CC racials on Dracthyr to the Evoker class baseline. Other classes having access to these is absolutely too strong even if it's longer cooldown. Knockup, AND Knockback??? These need to be Evoker only
How about less hours to level alts in quests I have already done? will we handle this issue anytime in the next years so I may comeback to play without feeling overwhelmed if I want to have couple of alts...
Warbands will be nice to be able to be in Your " Solo" Rated and world Name Ranked .....so called content. Please change or "Empower " your Cinematic Trailer . Alliances figures seems alredy give up but Horde never was and never will be "enslaved" but they desire for War ... Within!
Making old tier tokens warband shareable but locking the class-specific gear to the class only makes no sense to me. Those are just two systems that were part of a changing policy of how to handle tier set looting in their respective expansions. Why would the policy continue to be so different today? Please just open all the drops up to being account-wide. Make them items that can be looted by anyone but only appear to the alt in that class, kind of like how the class items and transmog sets have been working in Pandaria Remix.
I understand when you get the interview you can't ask any real questions, but please don't be dishonest about class feedback being entirely ignored for multiple classes with literally zero comments from the devs. Yes mage got 15 reworks throughout the beta cycle but rogue , dh , arms warrior , druid get zero?
6:26 - 8:13 *This is just a lie!* The entire druid community provided insane amount of feedback about why they are unhappy and what needs to change for months, which was meet with *zero response* from Blizzard. And we not going to have a fun spec or rework - _again_. It's just gonna end up with an entire class unhappy and then they just tune the numbers a bit so they are not entirely shit - _again_. Guardian has pretty much been the same since legion, it desperately needs a rework and not that half-a**e 10.1.5 where we got 1 talent after years. Seeing this otherwise great interview just gets me angry and upset. Prepatch launches in a couple of hours and my favourite class and spec is just gutted and left in the dumpster. - _again_ 😥
I am begging you, you seem to have some pull with blizzdevs. Please can you ask about the state of havoc - aldrachi reaver is very complicated and fel-scarred is extremely under tuned and has absolutely no visuals

drac warrior with Glide. Infinite Zugs. and IMO I think the evoker abilities should be in the evoker tree.
25:25 Did he say Flameshaper Preservation Evoker? Did they change the name of Ruby Adept, because if so, this is way better.
Correct, they did change it from Ruby Adept to Flameshaper
@@shiniwarcraft thanks! I found notes later.
As long as I can glide and soar as a Dracthyr mage, I’ll be happy.
How dare you talk about "great feedback" when some classes gets literaly zero changes throughout beta cycle while having obvious issues? And on opposite side we have mage/warlock which one was getting new whole trees for 7-8 weeks straight? In what world this is even remotly close to "reacting" to feedback? Dh, rogue, priests so f*cked going into TWW its unbelievable how is it even real. Like just how? Oh sorry I wont get any answer or "feedback" from you coz some class dev busy posting POE related stuff on his twitter while beta still going. Good job. Keep it up.
Why half the classes got core talents reworked or improved while also having great new Hero talents when other haven't really been touched and got super lackluster Hero talents?
Finally why some classes like Rogue and DH had a funeral and got visibly worse design wise, nerfed compared to DF, with Hero talents that do not fit spec's gameplay at all, are hard to even care about with non-existed visuals? The design/visuals/gameplay and overall quality gap in classes is now colossal.
I wanna be able to disable my exp gains at level61 :(
Wait, are we now able to log on more than one char at a time on one account?
If you pay 2 subs on one account, you can (no changes there, was possible before)
@MrGM Great video content, as usual, as always, reallyappreciate & like your work and doings ! Much greetings and well wishes to you and to your family from your serbian fans from Serbia 🇷🇸 !
Can someone tell the devs that rogues still exist?
Always great hearing from new/different members of the team
Warbanks are working fantastically! LOL I get it this is a pretty big deal but 14hrs and no idea how long it will take to be implemented is crazy. It was a main feature!
Please ask Ian the next time you see him when Aug Evoker will be made a tank spec!
I would just say they missed the mark on several spec even if some specs feel good thematically. Great job on warlock, horrible job on rogues for comparison.
same with DH. Absolutely horrible hero talents
Great interview! Keep up the amazing work
Do an interview with the person who is in charge of creating the pvp elite illusions. Because there is a lot we could talk about. 😂
Im excited for the confidence on tuning from george. however, one thing that feels really really bad is the difference between No talent preist builds
Holy's smite does 75% more damage than Disc smite. again, 0 talents and everything involved. I know why they did it, its because the tier set would be OP with the double smits on disc. however it feels like blizzard is lying when they call that same spell smite. So when george says they can just tweak things just for the class themselfs. i feel like it takes away from what the SPELLS from fundamentally the foundation of the Spell Name. a homoginization would fix alot of the button bloat/extra defencives. if your nerfing tanks, you can get rid of ALOT of the trivial Spike group damage. which leads to less stops. which also leads to feeling like your a spellcaster clothy. which should feel powerful if you can sit and cast, but bad against daggers and 2h wepons pummaling your face. it sure feels like mages are "tankier" than hunters. and it all feels pretty much as if NUMBERS mean more than actual class design.
Nice, DHs getting double shafted, hero talents are meh at best and now even tanking is going to be excruciating
Warband groups. I'd love to see us be able to group characters so that we could easily shift our Warband without doing it individually. As you say...super niche since I am a Character Hoarder.
If possible, can you make an option for the tracker icon to be larger when you’re in the world going to a new quest? I find it too small with my visual impairment. it’s easy to lose when you’re flying or running around.
I would actually be interested in reducing the XP gains. A tabard of sorts that reduces your XP gains by 80%, increases the damage you take by 100% and reduces the damage you do by 100%. Something like that.
I thought about something like this . But my idea was more in the realm of mop remix. Where you get a harder more classicesque leveling while still being retail and in the end your character joins the same server. Could be combined with some title or transmig. Think that would be neat.
I want to know about Warband Quest Log; ie: if I do the first 3 quests of a 10-long chain, and then log in as an alt, I'd like to see that I'm on the 4th quest. I don't want to have to write down somewherwe what quests I'm on, so that I cna pick them up on my alt and continue on the alt..
what about pvp?? Solo shuffle que times being 30min+ is unacceptable! How do you guys expect people to pay $15 a month to spend 70% of their time waiting around and not being able to play the game in the aspect we want.. We pvpers are literally spending more time in que waiting around than playing the game. 30-60 minute que times for dps to then have a match end within 10 minutes while paying for a sub is insanity. And the addition of solo shuffle has pretty much killed the 3s LFG bracket and LFG/3s is more dead than ever this expansion so then it feels like we are almost forced to play solo shuffle for 3s, but then we are forced into these massive que times. I shouldnt be able to que a solo shuffle, Load up another game, que up a match, play the entire match in another game, win that lobby, then tab back into wow just to see im still in que and it has never popped.. Fix this or many of us PvPers will not be subbing to play this game. 15$ a month to sit in que is wild.
Great interview, thanks!
Suggestion for more warband things - please make BoP recipes warband bound. Farming some of the older raids like Sunwell for months and getting a leatherworking recipe on my tailor for example is really demoralizing
Ive never played Shaman seriously, too close to Druid without all the things I like about Druid, but i would play the shit out of a blue, lightning slinging Dracthyr Shaman.
Great vid
Not them laughing when he said people are happy at the current tuning
Yeah, beleive it or no some people tire of super fast levelling on some characters

I wish they would just keep Dracthyr Evoker only. I'm not a fan of having to have to talent into racial abilities to lower cd being an Evoker
how can you have multiple characters from one account logged in at the same time? Aren't you only allowed one login per account?
@@skeezixcodejedi more than one wow account. On one btag account.
Great interview as always.
How do the devs feel about the fact that a large number of demon hunters would rather have an aura buff than have the hero talents that the devs have ignored feedback for throughout the beta? I'm not talking about the damage tuning, it's about the gameplay. I hope the "or even redesign" was with aldrachi reaver in mind specifically. George mentioned his guild being frustrated with him for not having a main picked yet, and guilds are frustrated with DHs too because the DHs don't want to commit to it with how the playstyle looks right now.
"Changes with hero talents" aka making things like Packleader respectable ....so many hero talent trees are NOT as "great as they can be" and they missed huge on these. I mean you literally can't even tell if someone is a Packerleader hunter, there's no spell effects and there's several specs like this.
Nerfing tanks is the dumbest move they could possibly do right before a new Xpac=RIP M + and pugging.
Why would nerffing tanks=RIP M+ and pugging? What nerffing tanks does is make the difference between a good tank and a bad tank less significant. If anything this would make pugging better.
@@austinkerr7356 well obviously, good tanks push with specific teams or sell keys. They don’t pug with random players, hence less people tanking because it will be harder to tank. If you don’t see this, idk what to say mate. It’s an unnecessary last minute change.
@sebs6736 you are incorrect. Nerffing tanks does not make tanks harder to play. Nerffing tanks makes tanks easier to play. The reason why good tanks and high level m+ players are upset is because with the nerfs they cannot self sustain. With tanks being nerffed, people that are not as skilled will not be punished as much as good players. I think you are misunderstanding what the nerfs actually mean.
@@austinkerr7356 you're not the brightest, i pugged 3k+ every season DF and having tanks that can't sustain themselves will ruin keys
@NeverAware how will tanks that can't sustain themselves ruin keys? Tanks might not have as much fun because they know rely on healers more but I don't see how it will ruin keys. And what does you pugging 3k+ have anything to do with them nerffing tanks and making the skill ceiling lower? From where I stand you are not the brightest. Please give an argument to what I said...not just "I pug 3k+ I know that it will ruin keys" give actual facts to your arguement.
18:00 dont they have the turn off exp?? why would they need to waste time
Wish they would explain how they dropped the ball so hard on some of the hero talents (ROGUE!)
No introduction for hero talents is so sad. There should be some sort of short questline that introduces hero talents and gives you an immersion into it. Not just "hey, you have 20 new talents" enjoy.
I dont think they should use any of the active racials for dracthyr for any other class. If they do, only one of them, not both. They also can not give the dracthyr jump to other classes. Otherwise why play any other race at that point.
There is no reason AT LEAST Tier sets shouldnt be unlocked. Class specific quest items like Lok delar at least make sense to lock, but tier sets? PLEASE.
Shame on Peter Hodge and George Velev for letting Balance Druids sink to it's current state. Shame on Ion for allowing this mediocrity after advertising Hero Talents with balance druid first in line then proceeding to ignoring it after a couple of passes. SHAME!!! WTFFFF i'm regretting even buying the epic expansion very early on just to be insulted by LAZINESS on the part of the devs!
Hey George why did you think giving lock and loaded instant aim shot talent to low levels would be a great idea? especially in pvp. especially with instant kill shot. Why did you and your team neglected horrendous stat distribution bellow max level for over 3 expansions? Why there are no safeguards for high damage output in general? Why everything must get 1-2 shoted in pve? Why neglect balance in leveling pvp for over a decade and ran it to the ground?
"They're all my children, and I have to love them equally" true, but secretly we all have a favorite 😜 🤫
did they do anything for new player experience or returning players?
why would you play Retail WoW as new player, thats plain stupid.
then whats the point of even playing wow or trying to get new players to play the game? the game is really good at pushing players away. most devs interviews are concerned at pushing their mythic+ keys. it's not an mmo anymore it's an arcade. honestly, who is this game for?
@@asz-p4m you play Vanilla/TBC/Wotlk or SoD as a new player, Retail WoW is for players who are doing RMT and those with sunk cost fallacy.
Make Templar Paladin Sword Themed! 🗡️
never speak to me again!
Warband follower dungeons please.
Would like warband group to be 5 instead of 4 so you could have your own whole dungeon group....also Holly Longdale has teased this as a future feature.
No, only multi-boxers get that privilege.
Please just move the CC racials on Dracthyr to the Evoker class baseline. Other classes having access to these is absolutely too strong even if it's longer cooldown. Knockup, AND Knockback??? These need to be Evoker only
these questions are just... who cares about developers challenges doing X honestly..
How about less hours to level alts in quests I have already done? will we handle this issue anytime in the next years so I may comeback to play without feeling overwhelmed if I want to have couple of alts...
We will actualy have xp bonus for 5% xp bonus per max lvl character up until 25% starting next expansion :)
Leveling alts is already very fast in dragonflight and they are making it even faster for TWW
@@CalheiraMMO 5-25% doesn't seem really a significant assist in my book, more like a patch rather than a fix
@@austinkerr7356 the bonus I read about (5 to 25%) don't seem worthy of applause to me
@@wandererslegion You can level new char in like 4 hours. How fast you want to be omg?
George where is Rogue?!
Aintnoway a dev actually plays Guardian Druid
Oxford recognized word lol
the irony of this is that warbanks are totally busted
Give me my Dracthyr Monk.
30 minutes of "may be in the future" "ya very exited too", no real questions. All good though Its only your 1st interview after all :)
oooo man, let's go!
Warbands will be nice to be able to be in Your " Solo" Rated and world Name Ranked .....so called content. Please change or "Empower " your Cinematic Trailer . Alliances figures seems alredy give up but Horde never was and never will be "enslaved" but they desire for War ... Within!
Is this the dude that forgot Rogues exist?
Well, at least I now have a name to curse at night for the mediocre state of the DH
softball questions, these devs need to be grilled hard and provide answers for some of the bs
No.
Because all 3 of the Rogue Hero talent trees are shit. The Rogue Community gives so much Feedback but we get nothing.
Make Boomy Great AGAIN!!!!!!
I loved the part of the interview when they talked about how they completely ignored all the feedback about demon hunter hero talents.
Making old tier tokens warband shareable but locking the class-specific gear to the class only makes no sense to me. Those are just two systems that were part of a changing policy of how to handle tier set looting in their respective expansions. Why would the policy continue to be so different today? Please just open all the drops up to being account-wide. Make them items that can be looted by anyone but only appear to the alt in that class, kind of like how the class items and transmog sets have been working in Pandaria Remix.
I understand when you get the interview you can't ask any real questions, but please don't be dishonest about class feedback being entirely ignored for multiple classes with literally zero comments from the devs. Yes mage got 15 reworks throughout the beta cycle but rogue , dh , arms warrior , druid get zero?
Druid didn't get zero. Resto druid got a lot of nice changes. Don't lie ❤
Why would rogue get a new rework after They got one during season 3
6:26 - 8:13 *This is just a lie!* The entire druid community provided insane amount of feedback about why they are unhappy and what needs to change for months, which was meet with *zero response* from Blizzard. And we not going to have a fun spec or rework - _again_. It's just gonna end up with an entire class unhappy and then they just tune the numbers a bit so they are not entirely shit - _again_. Guardian has pretty much been the same since legion, it desperately needs a rework and not that half-a**e 10.1.5 where we got 1 talent after years.
Seeing this otherwise great interview just gets me angry and upset. Prepatch launches in a couple of hours and my favourite class and spec is just gutted and left in the dumpster. - _again_
😥
Calm down drama queen. Calling them gutted and left in the dumpster is just retarded
Druid is fine. What about druid do you not like? I main guardian and the recent resto chances were very good.
i just watched a nine inning softball game that ended in a tie....
"Feedback has been really helpful on Hero Talents."
You've IGNORED feedback on hero talents! (sad laugh)
WoW community complains about EVERYTHING
12 hour patch day.. nah, i'm not interested in hearing what a liar has to say.
the Hero talents suck
Just delete prot paladin so I can not feel bad playing another class/spec
First! :D
I hope they realise they will not have tanks to people play the game.
I am begging you, you seem to have some pull with blizzdevs. Please can you ask about the state of havoc - aldrachi reaver is very complicated and fel-scarred is extremely under tuned and has absolutely no visuals
