Blizzcon 17

[lupi]

They said it would be a "server option", which distinctly implies for current paying customers.

 

[Anubis]

I'm actually at the con this year. It's been fun

 

[Craig234]

They used to raise the price $25 every year for a long time, has that continued?

 

[Sonikku]

Combat mass rez ftw. Battle Priests are OP.

Its about time we retook Lorderon.

From whom? The people living in Lordaeron are its original inhabitants.

 

[Ranulf]

Undead scum who enslave the living in the ruins of Lorderon. From either side, I shall never forget nor forgive the Wrathgate betrayal.

 

[JujuFish]

Can we just kill off Sylvanas already?

 

[lupi]

Finished all of day one and about a third through day 2. Community panels have been fairly good, except the blizz run ones. They were god awful (HOTS game and loot box ones).


Hitting the WoW Q&A now. Warfronts not currently planned on being accessible constantly. Stat squish with expansion including item level squish.

Titanforge will return, but not for all armor slots. Those slots you can use the new azerothian imbuement (or whatever it's actually called) won't have TF gear available.

Expanding character creation options including addition of standing tall orcs.

Will be expanding the sharding tech that allows different level chars to attack same mob to be used in world PVP combat.

Right after the ice cream announcement, some were talking about playing again through the following expansions for some reason. In the Q&A they talk specifically about classic being for the level 1-60 experience.


Still to be determined as the system matures, but with the scalable levels in old worlds the mob drops will be based on their pre scale level but gold likely will scale to player level. (would still get trade mats based on former drop types for instance).

Teladrassil and Undercity will still exist as is, will be sharded for characters at BFA level. Exodar and Silvermoon would then be sole outpost on the opposing continents for those factions.

Refined goblin models being worked. Some small changes to worgen, but not as extensive.

After being retardedly difficult about giving extra character slots for so long, 6 more per realm coming with BFA.


No one asked about artifact weapons, WTF!

 

[Anubis]

No one asked about artifact weapons, WTF!

ikt was confirmed someplace else that the Artifact weapon will be staying with Legion. we will NOT have it in BFA

the neck thing is basically replacing the artifact wep

 

[lupi]

That's been known a long time. What's not known is about alts getting them post BFA launch, or access to all the different skins, or exactly how they go "poof".
