We’ll we liveblogging the WoW Q&A here which starts at roughly 00:30 CEST!
- Faction restrictions on toys you already have will possibly be removed.
- A tri-spec (having 3 different spec tabs) is not currently on the table
- Sargeras is still the big bad in the end lorewise and not the old gods
- A guild garrison or housing type is something the dev team will continue to talk about in the future, as well as more future garrison features
- Guild achievements are something the devs will want to continue with, but they do need to be something worth making. It has to be a fun achievement.
- Collision detection will continue to improve in the future. If players encounter something their mounts collide with and shouldn’t then the player should give that feedback.
- The fire kitty feral look will not become a glyph.
- When evolving the talent tree they look at the data they have on the usage of talents and multiple factors such as which ones are used and which ones are not. If a certain talent is the only one used in a talent tier it might need changing, just like if one isn’t being used at all.
- Doing /roar while in druid shapeshift form might use the actual animal roars in the future.
- For battle pets they view it as a expanding the content and not the levels, new things to collect.
- Race and gender changes will not be added to the barbershop like the face changes were because they have much more meaning.
- If there’s a legendary weapon in WoD it might get restricted in arena play.
- They might consider a pvp legendary if there’s a pve one to counterbalance it.
- World of Warcraft is the simulationtool the dev team uses with bots. They get their data from the bots literally playing the game. (Other than data from the players playing the game)
- Portal roulette isn’t fun for not-mages. Which is why it was removed.
- Beards disappear when wearing open helmets because of a bug with the big visual changes. They’re working on it. If you come across a helmet that does that, report it.
- New armor archetypes and silhouettes are something they’re talking about.
- Trade Prince Gallywax could eventually be brought back.
- They could make it happen to be able to cook your own bacon ingame.
- Events like the opening of the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj are great but they crashed servers. Such social events are still things they want to do.
- The home of the zandalari trolls might be visited some day.
- The zone Farahlon in Draenor might not be visited.
- The worgen were removed from Shadowmoon Valley in early beta because they felt out of place and they wanted to focus on the Draenei.
- The smelting interface will be brought over to milling and prospecting.
- To be able to get a shot at mythic rewards from garrison missions you as a character already need to be an active player, you’ll need to have heroic gear to have a chance at mythic gear from a rare garrison raid mission.
- For world pvp you should mainly go to Ashran.
- Tom Chilton would love to be able to store addons in a could storage so you could log in anywhere and have your same idea. Whether or not that is possible for one day is up in the air.
- Whether Khadgar is the new guardian (as he has the staff of Atiesh) remains to be seen.
- The summon random favorite mount button might be split into 2 buttons: ground and flying.
- The dragon aspects will be used in the future again.
- There will be characters brought back to life that died in our original timeline, who are alive in the alternate timeline.
