Are you ever going to do anything about sharding separating people in the same groups and raids? It doesn’t seem intentional for people grouped together to be separated when you can cross servers by grouping together.

807

Actually it is the plague and not a chemical weapon.

808

Any plans to add Half Elves or High Elves as an allied race?

…Or any highly requested alliance race?

Is there any chance they could bring Lirath Windrunner back?

It has nothing in common with a disease. It doesn’t even spread to anyone who doesn’t breathe it in. It’s a gas.

811

Options aren’t a bad thing, but we don’t need it anymore. And it was annoying to stop DPS to LT. yeah, sure you’re not the only one. But you’re definitely in the minority. I’d rather we had mana drain, drain soul (or MG) back to baseline, things that were actually fun and would be useful today.

812

Noooooo stop asking this. They’ve already said no. Stop. STAHP! We don’t need them wasting questions on this nonsense.

813

It is a weaponized version of the original plague of undeath. As for observed effects, that is just an inconsistency that has plagued the writing pun intended. I suspect it might be more like a flesh eating bacteria or fungus.

814

It’s nonsense to you, but not to me. Sorry you feel that way. :neutral_face:

500 people already asked class related questions, and Ion will dance around that too. Their stance may change on the High Elf subject so that’s why I thought I’d ask it.

Who do you think you are that you can tell people to not ask certain questions?

Well they already answered it. And it was no. There, saved them and all of us a 10 minute answer on a “problem” almost no one cares about. They need to address more serious things like class development, or lack there of.

We really don’t need them wasting time talking about allied races and mog/cosmetic options.

RE: Can you improve the professions to make them worth investing time again?

I really liked the Fishing profession in Legion, but that seems unsustainable to keep interesting every expansion, but perhaps something similar in reward for each profession?

Even better - what about something like you had on Argus where different mechanics unlocked different treasure or ways to move around the world - just you do it with Professions?

Mining unblocks rocks to reveal hidden caves and socket gems,
Fishing reveals treasure maps and ways of water walking,
Archaeology reveals old weapons and weapon enhancements (scopes, scrolls) leveled up to your current level or higher as well as transmogs of ancient races,
Food could unlock bait for traps that can summon high level monsters or convince npc’s to lead you to a hidden treasure or even supply magical food that gives you treasure-vision essentially,
etc.

I mean different ways to move around the world is what drew me to engineering originally.

…Or perhaps they would help in Warfronts somehow? Engineering improves repair speed, enchanting improves cost of enhanced weapons, etc.

819

You’re asking something already answered. It’s a waste of time

820

I would rather them just give void elves high eleven customization than do half elves as another cheap cop out of giving actual high elves.

821

It was never the original plague of undeath. It was a weapon to destroy living and undead alike, not a disease that spread through the living and killed them so they’d rise again as undead. The Plague of Undeath is an actual disease. The Forsaken just named their weapon Plague as an insult to the Scourge, they never once designed it to spread like a disease in all of lore.

822

The arrogance in your statements is hilarious. Blizzard should answer my half elf question then because no one asked it yet.

I would honestly like an answer for that instead (if they don’t answer the High Elf one). Half Elves would be really cool though.

823

Ion spends too much time answering questions like yours and not enough on things that affect actual gameplay and content. I’m glad these are flooded with class questions. Those are actual serious problems. They can address your cosmetic nonsense after. :slight_smile:

824

And that’s fine by me. Not sure why you’re getting offended over this…

With the recent announcement that Heroes of the Storm entering a different phase of life, I would like to ask what lessons you learned from Heroes of the Storm?

826

Sorry but it is definitely a heavily modified version of the plague of undeath. Look it up.
