WoW: Midnight’s Talebound Demo is Now Live

The yellow text colour on Shrapnel Round ends early, going back to white on “d” instead of “:”.

Look forward to getting a chance to try this though!

Sad I’ll be out of town. :slightly_frowning_face:

Seems strange. Are you trying a spinoff game mode? Or just poking around at things?

Is there a longer term plan for something like this?

No, I don’t think I will.

WoW isn’t roblox. While I enjoyed plunderstorm the strain on the engine was pretty brutal. Rather then reinventing the wheel focus on content like the mage tower.

This just looks.. odd to me. Maybe its fun idk, but logging into wow to not play some of the classes i identify with, and instead play 3 made up nothings doesnt really sound like a good time to me.

I don’t mind the content, but this post is for the PTR version. The can test it themselves and then fix all the bugs they’ll undoubtedly have

It’s no different than a Remix or Plunderstorm.

I’m actually quite excited to try this out, this sounds like it could be very fun. :grin:

So new classes, constrained “stories”, and whatnot?

No thanks.

Personally? I think it sounds neat, and I’m a sucker for alternate game modes like Plunderstorm and Remix where I can earn a bunch of cosmetics.

Yeah. This looks fun. Not sure why we are tying it to WoW nor why it wasn’t released for the Hallows End event, but I’m going to play it for sure.

Legion Remix had a really messy ptr cycle & ultimately needed a lot of changes between the initial ptr version & the launch version we got. I don’t understand limiting the testing period for this to a holiday weekend when you’re sure to get the least amount of engagement & playtime possible w/ testers. I get that it’s thematic (& the last chance to meet the ‘available in october’ blizzcon announcement) to have it up for halloween but why not let it stay up a couple weeks in november?

About time. Been waiting to try Talebound out! Wish we got to try it more but I guess they don’t want us to get too burned out on the PTR before it comes out for real.

(Also I imagine they don’t want to overlap too much with the Wow Forever launch)

That’s a very optimistic take given their track record of fixing bugs reported on the PTR in this expansion so far.
