Live Developer Q&A Thursday, January 24 – Submit Your Questions

Thanks for doing this! Here’s a question:

The difficulty difference between easy dungeons (e.g., Atal’Dazar) and hard dungeons (e.g., Shrine of the Storm) is very large, even after recent changes. This season, what specific changes, if any, will be made to reduce this difference?

Sorry sir but you are wrong. It also depends on what slot but generally a socket is worth about 15 ilvl. Also, for weapons it is closer to being worth 5 ilvl

Much of the PvP community really want the return of PvP vendors. Will we be seeing them return at any point in the future

This is the one question I really want to see being answered. The class design is awful this expansion, and none of the classes or specs feel as good as what they ever were.

Any plans to look at Arcane mage? With extremely simplified one-button gameplay and no ability to do AoE from range, this seems like a forgotten spec. This is the second xpac in a row where it is on the bottom of the dps charts and still full of useless talents, and the talent rows are still entirely ST vs. AoE.

Any chance of a Glyph of Stars without the blue color, like the original version? The blue is too strong, making transmog pointless.

When is there going to be a balance patch on class utility? There are classes that can do just as much damage as a Rogue/DH/Boomkin/Mage but the difference is they bring next to no utility to a dungeon therefore they don’t get invited.

Is it an oversight that guardian druids have a dispell they can’t use? Paladins and monk tanks can use their dispell and help out their team, if we do we get taken out of form and will most likely go splat.

Do you plan on adding cosmetic rewards to M+? ie: Instead of just an achievement for doing all +15’s in time you get an armor set for your class.

After ~6 weeks of this new War Mode bonus the Horde STILL haven’t gone above 10%. Do you have plans to change how the system works if say in 6 months we are still sitting at 10%.

Any plans on updating the in-game guild finder? The group finder is great for finding short term connections, but there is no in-game equivalent for finding long term connections.

Without the possibility of legendary drops incentivizing us to grind world quests like in Legion the entire system seems stale and almost like a waste of time now days, are there any plans to make world quest feel more rewarding in the patches to come?

They only cherry pick stupid questions that they can easily answer that don’t matter to 90% of the community. They will never take questions about how bad class design is and how terrible gearing in pvp is. Vendors are wanted by 99.9% of the pvp community. Why don’t they answer a question regarding pvp venders?

Why don’t you stop fighting people that want questions answered, and leave the thread for legitimate questions?
Stop sucking on Blizzard’s teet and defending them like a white knight; that’s not what this thread is for.

Blizzard will answer whatever questions they want. Go create a discussion elsewhere.

Just to reiterate what several others have stated, class design is, in general, at a 10 year low, with nothing at this point being worked on, as far as we know. Can you give us any definitive statements on whether the team is satisfied with the current class gameplay, and what major changes could be coming (that’s not numbers tuning.)?

As far as tuning goes, the new seasonal affix is going to entrench the current meta even more than ever before(in mythic+ obviously). Non-dk tanks are going to need additional utility to compete with mass grip, and classes with sub-standard aoe are going to be completely overlooked. Any plans to address this?

Because Activision-Blizzard thinks that the longer they can keep you logged in to the game, the more chance there is of you buying one of their macrotransaction add-ons.

Not good enough to just have people paying a monthly sub anymore.

Will Gladiator Stance be reappearing soon?
