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

you still think decisions in game are made for the sake of good game? it’s more of a marketing move… make 1 side get a boost, to make things like this that will only matter for less than 1% the playerbase.

some CM unpinned this, the questions are already picked and the answers will be studied for sure for later on.

should be closed tbh.

So someone (or an alt you hardly play) does a warfront requiring little to no effort and gets a 425 piece through noting but luck, but you work hard for your gear (we’ll say mythic raid in this case), and only ever have 415s drop.
But you support titanforging?
Titanforging is the literal opposite of working hard to get the best gear. It hands out the best gear to people who get lucky, regardless of effort.

Can we please get a currency in the game to upgrade are gear by ten item levels like we had in MOP to combat the RNG of titanforging. Titanforging doesnt make for fun or interesting game play, slot machines make no sense in a sub based game.

Is there an official release date for Battle for Azeroth yet? This beta is incredibly long!

I just started playing again in the last few month from quitting in WOD and the gearing for PVP BG’s suck, want’s this random conquest reward *this week its a pike for my BM hunter what?? I would not play Survival hunter if it was the last class\spec in the game are they stupid?

Maybe being back I missed something is there a way to change this random crap?

Any general timeframe to expect 8.2 and 8.2.5? I want the new zone and Worgen models!

This. They were announced over a year ago at this point.

You’ve slightly nerfed Blood DK and buffed Prot Warrior… but are there plans to address baseline functionality of guardian druids and VDH?

Bears don’t have a baseline slow, significantly lower tank dps, unrewarding ability buttons (swipe, Maul, moonfire, ironfur, frenzied regen on gcd, etc), much of our utility is locked out of bear form so we have to drop out of our tank survivability to cast simple things like root or cleanse, and this is greatly impacting both our high-end content performance and community perception which further limits opportunity for bears and VDH ( I don’t have specifics for them) to participate in this content. We might be fine on paper and able to complete the middle ground of content, but we are considered a lesser tank because of multiple limiting factors.

Why isn’t there any raid boss-skip quests like the ones of Warlords and Legion, where you killed a certain boss x number of times to be able to skip the early bosses of the raid? If a full Mythic roster would like to obtain Jaina’s mount, they would have to clear every boss upwards of 20 times? Will these quests see a return in future BFA raids, and could Battle of Dazaralor have a quest hot-fixed in, possibly after Rastakhan or High Tinker?

I have been playing world of Warcraft for 10 years and I have never gotten so many items that are not upgrades. (example) - I need boots rings and trinkets so far I have gotten 25x bracers 10x chest 10x cloak…ect. I can tell this difference only because ive been playing for so long, what has changed with the gearing system and how it gives you what pieces ? Why so many bracers blizz?

Any news on server stability?
Being zoned into some shards make the game unplayable.

Any love for OCE and WM? Currently a well represented faction is getting a 30% buff and free heroic quality loot while not being the underdog. Is there any intention in splitting the buff over regions?

Do you think the WM buff is having the intended affect? Alliance players seem to believe the new “Battle of Dazar’alor” raid takes place in the world, not in an instance. Horde are overrun in their own city constantly (OCE Barthilas) since the changes.

Within the context of cities, is there any intention to make guards more menacing again? For the past expansions guards have been northing more than normal mobs with the opposite factions flag. There is no threat, and thus no recourse for camping enemy factions settlements.
They should not be able to be ignored whilst groups farm players.

Why is Lores hair so bad? WHos pictures do you have to keep your position at BLizzard, Ion?

Why do the drop rates/methods of obtaining items through islands feel slower and more random than ever?

Is there plans in the future to get rid of so many free pieces of gear? I feel like i can get a character decently geared without doing any M+ or raids and it lowers my desire to go do that content on a weekly basis if i am not going for a huge upgrade.

Will we be seeing the thinner body shape models for Kul’tirans that some npc’s have in game?

What was that reasoning behind having the Warfronts being explicitly PVE instances, as opposed to having both a PVP and PVE Option?

I’d imagine not, since there are normal humans already, and people would just cry “WTF why do we get another human model and horde get X, Blizzard hates us.”

When will the Azurite system get the proper funeral it deserves? I really don’t care to hear about “improvements” being planned for it and I feel like many other players feel the same.

Azurite Armor is possibly one the biggest and most epic fails in the history of this game. Although Artifact Weps had their shortcomings, they were a far cry better and much more interesting than what you trashed them for. I’ve pretty much abandoned BfA because of it.

Can we please stop trying to reinvent the wheel every expansion?

You can actually pick from a handful of items for the weekly cap reward. So while it shows a survival 2-hander on the arena tab, when you hand the quest in you’ll be able to pick from that weapon and some ranged ones I believe.

I purchased BFA and six months of wow at the start of the expansion and that still wont be enough to unlock the allied races. Why have you delayed them so much when they were promised a year ago?
