Thanks for that information. Might be the only follower item that’s actually useful; I’ll look into it.

Thanks for Hati :slight_smile: Any plans to update Gilneas so the Worgens can take in the Night Elves this time? I refuse to be a refugee in Stormwind or Boralus.

Could you elaborate more on the removal of the portals during the portal room overhaul and why the measure was taken despite the negative feedback we’ve seen here on the forums?

In particular I’d like to hear the reasoning for:

  1. Why there are no Thunder Bluff or Ironforge portals in the portal room

  2. Why Azsuna was selected over New Dalaran

  3. Why we have Jade Forest instead of Shrines.

Is the war against player agency, with regard to flying, going to end or should we expect to see a post like “Due to technical reasons with Warmode On/Off, flying will not be available in BFA zones.”

Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch did Amazon prime loot, can WoW also get the same treatment?

Random question: Talk of Alterac Valley in Classic World of Warcraft got me thinking: Will we ever see the return of old Alterac Valley in retail WoW? Since AV is categorized as an “Epic Battleground”, it might make sense to bring back what made AV epic to begin with to the current version of WoW. If not, why not?

Any plans on putting in Invasion quests designed for PvPers:
Take and hold this strategic point for xx minutes.
Defend this airship against Alliance/Horde saboteurs (players) for xx minutes.
Or are the current quest lines, designed to lure Pve players into WM, all that we can expect going forward?

I’d like islands to give loot good enough to at least get your alts into BoD raid finder.

  • Will we ever get new continent loading screens? We’re tired of seeing small-head Varian.
  • Have you considered dual wield shields?
  • Can we get an option for our mission table followers to die? If not, can they follow us around like lackies when they’re not out on missions? It would be like some of those questlines where you free NPCs and they follow you like an entourage.
  • Can you create a portal roulette holiday where one portal in the new portal rooms drops people to random locations that used to have portals?
  • Can we get back hunch options for humans, elves and other upright races?
  • Is there any plan for a Dolly and Dot toy that gives me MY best friends?
  • How about a competition like we had for the chopper bikes to determine the next allied race? We can all leave feedback on a forum thread.
  • Can engineers get attack drones to use on the enemies in Warmode? Two versions – one to spy and one to shoot something.
  • Is there any plan to put more mini-games into WoW that we can export and use on our phones?
  • Can our armor and weapons get a “fun” stat? The more you play, the more the “fun” stat goes up. It’s like azurite power, but it’s collected specifically by a time played metric and collect various rewards similar to rep rewards. Adding to this, can we also eliminate automatic log outs after a long AFK?

At one point you previewed updated animations and visuals for paladins consecration. Are those still coming?

Can you show or talk about any other animation or visual visual updates that are on their way?

When will the dev team tackles the problem with class design?
Why does Zandalari racial can’t be interupted in paladin’s buble? It’s unfair in pvp since it’s too strong for pal.
Profession need to be back, it feels useless and less rewarding. What’s wrong with enchanting, JC, BS that you have to remove its features, thus making it has less effect on raiding and pvp.

What is the probability of all questions in this thread being forwarded to the Dev QnA? If a percentage, which themes have a higher priority than others? Are the questions I’m asking considered irrelevant, as they have nothing to do with the game itself?

Now that my hook’s been cast:
"Can the developers consider faster flight point travel, OR a slight increase to max fly speed? If not an adjustment to current flight speed, can we get an additional upgrade behind a realistic npc cost? This will help alleviate passive game time, and prevent disconnects in extended flight paths."

After playing the Brawl version of Wintergrasp I have to ask, : Do you have any plans to adjust the damage and health of siege vehicles to compensate for current player damage ? Right now its like driving a wet kleenex in how fast they just get torn apart by one or two players. Also on the same subject, the keep walls and the towers seem to take a whole lot longer to destroy than they use to.

Three questions/comments:

  1. Part of what I really like about wow is configuring my addons and macros to efficiently communicate the information I want to have and to efficiently do what I want to be done. The GCD changes really interfere with this and result in more buttons to push. Can we please revisit the CGD changes and take as much off the CGD as possible?

  2. I don’t think your current system of class balance every two years is sustainable. It isn’t cool to have hunters and fire mages sit out an entire expansion, for example, or for holy paladins to have a mastery tied to proximity which then requires constantly using a talent on CD that you have to spec into in order to extend the range of that mastery. I used to really be excited for ptr patch notes to see what was happening to classes - now i just yawn. Please rethink whether it would be appropriate to have more extensive class balancing during an expansion rather than wait for it to end.

  3. I feel like flight paths, reputation, azerite levels, and stuff like that should be available to alts. I love leveling my alts and would like stuff to be a bit more convenient.

Will we be getting the fox race for allied race?
My sis loves foxes

Asked one question earlier but another came to mind: Are there any plans to revamp the world once more? TBC and Wrath zones are both 10+ years old, and the revamped zones in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms are now older than the classic world was when it was revamped. It’d be nice to see some changes to the world to reflect what’s gone on in the mean time.

With the addition of the Spirited Jewelcrafting Rings we have seen Laribole and Scarlet Diamond prices skyrocket while green quality gems are often seen selling for Lower than Vendor price on the AH. Are there plans to include a ‘Icy Prism’ type recipe to combat the surplus of Green Gems?

Hopefully dead and hopefully never.
