Glad you guys are continuing this podcast. I think itāll be a very useful tool in the coming months (and hopefully years) to address the community directly rather than just relying on blue posts to do it. Hearing it from the horseās own mouth feels much better, especially when itās a topic we care about.
I especially like that you guys take a little bit of time to address the hot issues you see on the forums even when it doesnāt pertain to the episodeās topic. Please keep that up!

With the next Podcast having a discussion on systems within the game, can you please discuss the OCE day/night cycle issue? We are having to play during the night all the time.

Seriously can you hotfix the dual spec bug thats causing action bars to reset, this should have been hotfixed awhile ago but the gen pop hasnt gotten dual spec yet.
@Aggrend you rock. I hope you get a cookie today. Thank you for your commitment to balanced PVP servers. And thank you to all the devs for your hard work. Itās the nature of forums to be full of complaints, but most folks are just out there leveling having a great time. Iām having a blast.

With the faction lock likely being necessary for the foreseeable future, can we at least get faction or ruleset transfers for people (one-way)? Thereās a not insignificant chunk of people out here who have friend groups separated now.
Inb4 ājust rerollā: some of these groups arenāt just a couple close friends, there are varying degrees of friendship and either I sit out (or play solo, which I donāt enjoy) or the group fractures.
Iām not asking for the faction balance to be sacrificed, Iām just asking for a way to ease the pain and unnecessary friction for those caught in limbo because of it

Itās honestly astonishing how completely out of touch Blizzard seems to be with its own community. Players are dealing with serious issues that are ruining their gaming experience, yet Blizzard somehow finds the time to focus on meaningless posts like these instead of addressing the problems that actually matter. At this point, itās not even about poor priorities anymore. Itās about a blatant lack of interest in the community and a complete disregard for the players who continue to support this game.

Telling the player base to āmake other arrangementsā isnāt a solution and is a very bad mentality this early into this games life.
In order to balance out the factions you need people to be willing to play on the underpopulated faction, but no one wants to because they will either not be able to play with their friends or they will lose all of their progress permanently. (Some refuse simply due to their faction preference. Realistically there is no solution for those players except āhope and waitā)
Here are some solutions:
- Allow character/account faction transfers from the overpopulated to underpopulated faction. This will allow willing groups to move over and play with their friends without losing their progress and at least slightly speed up faction balancing.
- Allow players to make characters on both factions and have the faction balancing be based on current logged in characters. Rather than locking out new character creation, instead lock out which characters/faction you can login to at that time. This would allow players more freedom of choice and a better solution than ādelete your characters and re-roll the other factionā or āroll a different rulesetā.

Bit ambiguous regarding previously limited time events, hope that means there may be a variety of options.
Really sucks to enter a game, hear about incredible pivotal events that happened like a decade ago, and only once.
Other than that, has only hyped me up more about the future of WoW Foreverās stories. Looking forward to seeing how cinematic something like Kellyās story beats can be.
live date transparency would be MONUMENTAL, and with rule sets as opposed to servers i believe it to be a mandatory necessity for people actively still trying to play with friends. While we my be āokayā with waiting to play the faction we want to play on the mode we want to play, many of us were NEVER able to create a character through the trial periods and canāt check if horde character creation is available without an active subscription.
They are, legitimately, asking a large percentage of people subscribe and keep checking. though iām feeling the weāre supposed to read through the lines of āmake othert arrangementsā and that really means the ship sailed you arent on it we aint comin back for you.

Telling the āCanāt make Horde characters on the pvp serverā complainers to make other arrangements is absolutely the play here, and Iām glad Aggrend came out and said it! Double down on the DungeonXP complainers, and the game will assuredly have a bright future!
Detractors aside, this was my favorite episode to date! Little details like lions in the Riverglades giving reason for Stormwindās emblem are the EXACT kind of things people who enjoy the lore love to see! And a special RP slot on the characters would just be the cherry on the top for our RP and RP-PVP servers!
Seanās idea of what makes a great story, like the brothers on opposing sides of the Paladin factions is exactly the type and feel for stories I loved in older Warcraft. This episode really set the path to ātrust the planā as you all have earned it.
Hold the gate, and make WoW better than ever!

Ya I understand the pvp complaints but they were told before forever release that their will be faction restrictions based on faction balance. I am more annoyed that they did talk about the lighting cycle problem that they asked for feedback on.
@aggrend we love you dude, you donāt always say things I wanna hear, but youāre honest. keep up the good work, keep the classic in classic, you guys have the biggest MMORPG on the market in your hands and youāre doing a great job handling it. Ignore the doomers on these forums.
Also Iām sure we would all LOVE to have awesome roleplay lore cinematics in the game. Just make sure theyāre about the war in warcraft, none of this huggy wuvvy duvvy stuff.
