Live Developer Q&A - Ask Questions Here!

Also as for question, when it comes to development of the game how many ideas do you have that are cut generally because of how old the engine the game is on and the limits it brings without major overhauling? The devs once said at blizzcon that at one point you tried to increase the original bag space and it had some major unintended consequences. Has this occured in more ideas you wish you could bring forth into the game and if so how have you worked around it for features that have come into it?

Are there any plans to add content similar to The Deaths of Chromie scenario from Legion in the future?

I’d be curious to hear the teams stance on leavers in Mythic+ keys and if anything can realistically be done about it.

Will demonology warlock ever get an interrupt other than the felhunter? Happy to give up the felguards axe toss for an interrupt.

There have been a multitude of reports that heirlooms in BfA content are much too weak compared to leveling gear, to the point that the experience bonus is offset by the added difficulty. Is there any immediate plan to rectify this situation, particularly given the high cost of upgrading the heirlooms for that content?

Can we please have item reforging back? It really feels bad when you get a 15-25 ilvl upgrade but it sims much worse because the secondary stats are the worse for your spec. And NO, ilvl does not trump secondary stats in most cases.

Hey Ion and Lore,
I love world of Warcraft! One of the things that I love about it is the wonderful music that goes with each expansion, zone, raid etc. I wish we could have easier access to the music playlist in game. Is there anyway we could get a shuffle ability or a playlist of all the wonderful compositions you guys have made throughout the years? I’m not gonna lie I get really excited at the thought of listening to the totems of grizzlemaw in zuldazar or the canticle of sacrifice in raid. I just think with such amazing pieces they should be showcased more to the players while In game. I do own all the soundtracks on iTunes but I’ve always wanted to have access to the full playlist in game with the option to play the ones u like and maybe turn off the ones u don’t or just a shuffle and repeat ability. I know this is bottom of the barrel for importance or even quality of life but just thought it would pretty amazing to have the full playlist available to you while In game. Thanks for everthing you guys do for us! For Azeroth!

The Zandalari model for players is the same as for NPCs (which is a very good thing). So, when are they going to fix the nightborne model so they look like Suramar’s beautiful NPCs?

Don’t think I’d like to look devoid of sustenance and itchy as an idle animation…

If it is Lore then why can I race/faction change an Undead to a Gnome?

You can not fotce social interaction. Its got to be organic. Leave the queue systems in.

Queue systems remove organic interaction. Counter intuitive.

I completed the quest and the Princess became a Queen.

Then I went to do some WQ and everywhere she is still referred to as the Princess.

When will you make the World fill more dynamic? I was there, I helped make her a Queen. Why isn’t she a Queen?

So why cant Void Elves be Death Knights or Demon Hunters or even Paladins. Couldnt they be the class first, and then be swayed to Void. Be interested in the shadow, and then join Locus Walker and Alleria.

I play a druid and I like to frequently change specs for different aspects of the game, such as bg, arena, mythic keys, raid, island exp and etc. However it feels really demoralizing that I either have to do endless farm to get very specific azerite gear for each spec or I have to use tons of gold to reforge all the time just to enjoy the spec fully.

Can you share some details on the upcoming changes to the newer azerite system and whether or not it will solve this issue?

Will Worgen Heritage Armour focus on the human element (ie: top hats, nobility) or the savage element (ie: shackles, torn clothes) ?

  1. Why did you opt to put both Mechagon and Nazjatar in 8.2 as opposed to splitting up their launch into separate patches (e.g. Mechagon in 8.1)?

  2. War Mode right now seems to largely consist of raid groups forming on one faction and that faction dominating the other on each shard. Is War Mode currently living up to your vision for it in game?

  3. Why did you choose to keep the portal rooms from having portals to Thunder Bluff, Ironforge, Dalaran Crater, or Karazhan?

  4. WoW seems to have a growing alt problem. If you had one of each class to see the class-based content in Legion, then leveled an alt of each Allied Race to get the Heritage Armor (which the game encourages), you’d now have 20 alts at or near max level. Any plans to do anything with them?

  5. Will there be new character slots added when Classic comes out or will those characters come out of the 50 max limit?

There is a picture of the Bee Mount in the Flying patch update.

I for one would love a pair of Allied Races:

High Elves and Ogres!
