Sums it up for me. I am really liking some of the texture quality on the character models i am seeing.

This is a fairly broad point, but I sometimes think that Blizzard should consider introducing an in-game tool that allows players to display some aspects of their character and/or account’s progression and performance in various ways.

There are so many tools outside of the game that already do this, such as wowprogress and raider io, I think that coming up with a more player-friendly and flexible way to do it as part of the game itself might not be a bad idea.

There are several reasons for this, but I will just take one example, which is the ability to show your performance relative to other people playing your spec. This info can now be viewed by comparing uploaded parses.

Seeing this information tends to soothe concerns about spec choice and dps relative to other raid members in a lot of casual raiding situations. Basically, your spec may be under-tuned at a given moment, but you are performing well for your spec.

Having this type of information visible in-game, or giving players the possibility of displaying it, could be one way to loosen up player obsession with tiny balance percentages quite a bit, I think, potentially. Basically a way of allowing other players to see that, while you might not be playing the spec-of-the-month, you are achieving good results.

That’s just an example, but the same basic concept could be applied to other situations.

ummm… wow. do u write any books or anything? lol great idea

Thank you so much Skyyfall. No I dont write, but I grew up with wild imagination. Been Playing since day 1 of WoW.

Not a big fan of the post that leads to another post. Wowhead does this enough, and now you guys are doing it too.

I’m looking forward to taking my time and running my small army of characters through all the covenants for all the transmog sets.

Also I’m praying for some good looking mail armor as I’m not a fan of what’s currently in game.

none really. just waiting on how badly frost mages and shadow priests are going to get nerfed again (Burning crusade nerf level is expected)

All in good time.

As for the other, sadly, I don’t have control over the system. All I can do is work with it. And if I don’t share the link to our article, someone else will share the link to a site not our own. We like gauging viewership the same as anyone else. It means we can keep providing what we do regularly.

I read it (harder to do without paragraph breaks.) I can’t answer to the specific post though. Some things will have to be seen and learned along the way.

The most important one, the class changes. Hoping to see some talent calculators soon :relaxed:

Oh, and PVP vendors of course. Can’t wait to have some control over my gear and support my alts via PVP again!

Hyped for Demon Hunters to finally get their version of zen flight, but with their wings… oh wait…

I hope we will see the return of pvp vendors. Also would like to see changes to the current human racial ability. At the current state it’s almost unusable

Everything except the Level Squish. Worst idea ever. Everything planned can be accomplished without taking away 70 levels.

I’m super exited for Shadowlands! This new starting zone should really help my knowledge of the game, and I am totally digging the Ardenweald thing.

:ghost: :rosette:

There better be tier sets, or class specific armor sets. That’s all I have to say.

Can we stop renting powers each expansion?

Witnessing the end of Sylvanas.
Although… the cloak transmogs are nice.
