Tom Chilton Interview 2 (Raid Release Schedule) – Gamescom

Vanion got to interview Tom Chilton again! Here’s the summary:

  • Thursday was chosen as a release day instead of the usual Tuesday due to public holidays.
  • The current plan is that the raids will not open for about 2,5 weeks. This will prevent the feeling for players to rush to level 100. Players will be able to spend time exploring the other content. E.G. dungeons and the world content.
  • The Grommash fight will be very different from the Garrosh fight in Orgrimmar. There will definitely be more than just orcs. There will be a heavy legion influence in the raid that has Grommash Hellscream.
  • Challenge modes will drop LFR quality loot. (Which you will already be able to loot before the raids open up)
  • Depending on which building you choose for your garrison you’ll have daily content to do. For example if you choose the Inn, you’ll have a daily dungeon quest much like the ones in Wrath of the Lich King.
  • There are 4 tiers of level 100 garrison content. For example if you send your level 100 followers on missions they can get4 tiers of increased item levels. Eventually you’ll get access to raid quality loot you might not normally get access to.  These raid missions might appear just once every couple of weeks.
  • Players responded really well to having access to the lvl 90 boost straight away.
  • They’ve talked about doing a high level version of karazhan. There are challenges to that. Karazhan was designed for 10 player groups. This could be a problem for a 10 to 30 player group.
