Portals :frowning: Will you be adding new portals soon!? New portal to Pandaria (which I go to daily) use to go to the central city, now its in jade forest. I think if you did a poll most would prefer it in the central city. I am overall significantly discouraged by your portal decision. Please Help! Your losing me!

The only way I’ve ever completed it is by writing a macro to target the zeppelins and fire the bolos. You shouldn’t need to use a macro to finish a world quest, IMO.

Explain your thoughts with rogues?

There’s a lot of questions covering topics, nso I’ll just list them in hope you’ll pick one.

1-lore. i ask this every Q&A and i don’t expect a real answer,but since we’ve already lost a faction leader within the horde this expansion, does it mean that our warchief will AT LEAST SURVIVE this expac?

2-pvp. are there long term plans to unphase those in warmode, at least within all the Cities.

3-server fusions. this is mostly a selfish one to be honest, but. the faction unbalance on moon guard has become quite huge, I understand that the alliances goldshire is literally the only reason it doesnt get merged with other rp servers and well that, at least to me, bums me out cause it’s crippling the horde population.

4-portal travel. so as I found out yesterday, you guys moved all the portals and this isn’t fully bad…but the organization and connections are pretty sloppy (broken isle portal goes to azuna…when we had a new dalaran portal prior, why? as well as the blasted lands portal being…gone,hidden, or tied to a unmarked npc needs to be changed.)

5a-pve(dungeons). any new dungeons coming?

5b-raids. i loved the Battle for dazar point of view aspect, will there be more of those?

There has been a lot of criticism about the overabundance of loot sources and no clear progression this expansion. Are there plans to address this and if so, how?

A while back you indicated you didn’t want people to feel like they had to delete characters to play Allied Races.

Do you have any plans to extend the number of characters per account beyond 50 or do you mean that players must either use a second account or delete or race change to the new races instead?

How difficult is it for the team to try to strike a happy balance between repeatable content like world quests and the fun factor? In the past it has almost felt like a chore list to complete before players could sit down and get to what they really wanted to accomplish. How real is the struggle?

Night and day on OCE realms is still broken. All we ever see is darkness.

When will this be fixed?

I have a question.

Why does every key my group pushes turns into a Kings rest?

And why hasn’t the liquid gold tick on first boss and the bleed on 3rd boss and from berserkers Been nerfed yet?

Why hasn’t shadow of zul been nerfed yet?

Why do some dungeons have spawn points at each boss but others only have a spawn point at entrance. This is also really not fun to walk all the way back to get bwonsamdi’s bargain.

For people with alts and fresh 120s it will take a while to catch up to the current week. We on week 8 it will take about 115 wins in 2v2 to catch up.

Any plans in the near future to include more dungeons from each expansion in respective timewalking weeks? Moreso will we see a vanilla timewalking sometime soon?

Can hunters get vicious attack butterflies based on the new butterfly model?

Limit and Method both ruthlessly exploited the cash shop to min/max racials and get the best possible gear in the latest worst (sorry, world) first mythic raid competition. Do you believe this constitutes Pay 2 Win? Either way, can you explain why you feel the way you do?

P.S. My imaginary WoW friends still playing this game and I have a drinking game set up involving this Q&A; please try to lay off on the “having said thats” so my liver doesn’t fail.

Thanks

Looking at Reaping vs. Infested and how the data in the way dungeons are run (time differences, deaths, pull strategies, etc) are you happy with reaping? Does the perceived success of Reaping (or not) influence the affix planned for season 3?

Please address this question. I have seen this brought up a lot. Or to put it in question form…

Why can night and day cycles not be set to server time rotations? This way OCE players are not completely thrown off cycle all the time?

OR

Are there plans to create a potion of daylight to help OCE players and their horrendously timed day/night cycles?

Any plans to make mounts more appealing to Druids? I have so many, but i feel kinda stupid using them when Druid Travel forms have so many benefits. Maybe travel forms can look like unmounted mount forms somehow?

Can the cheetah cat pet get an accurate HD model?

Thats perfectly fine. You actually have to lift a finger. You act like that’s a problem. Its not.

With the patch 8.2 from a lore and logical standpoint, I can see the Naga being a neutral Allied Race. Is the Naga going to be an Allied Race in any patch looking forward?
