Thank you for addressing the Cross-RP break in your Q&A and confirming a fix is on the way. Just check WoWheads coverage of the Q&A and it confirms a new potion known as the “Potion of Tongues” is being added.
From the rest of the RP community, I want to say thank you for this Blizzard.
Edit - Apparently the Inky Black Potions were used as a references, thus the potion may very well be bought from a vendor.
This better not take any anchorweed or any of the expensive herbs =|
And it better be like 1hr duration.
Even if it does take expensive mats, Alphariana and I are getting ready to start gathering a huge amount of mats to flood the market allowing cheap potions available for all.
Wait, what, really? Oh man, that’s going to be insane. I can’t wait.
I have my doubts. Cross RP allowed for cross faction + cross server communications and RP flags being swapped. I’m not familiar with blizzard coding but…I don’t think it will be the same.
I have not ever RP’d in game. However, I know it’s a huge part of this game and always has been. I am glad they are doing this for our RP community. So grats to you all and I hope it works out well.
Though I don’t rp this sounds like something I would use just to see what the other side is saying but they have to disable it at certain points such as bgs and where factions do fight otherwise it will turn out bad.
I’m thinking its gonna be a two way street. In order to see what horde is saying as alliance, both players will need to have the potion buff going.
Makes sense but wasn’t that why they disabled it back then because Alliance and Horde talked crap to each other and it got pretty bad.
Oh no…
I mean that’s great for the rp guys.
But for us… ugh.
I mean again they will probably make it a 2 way street. You will more likely than not need two have both parties with the potion on in order to understand the other.
He said one thought was to put the vendor in the Dalaran underbelly. And like Inky Black inexpensive, just stock up.
tbh, I would prefer if we were given the ability to learn different race languages, kind of like secondary professions (but hopefully more fun to level).
Though I do realize that this method would not be as convenient as taking a potion for those who need cross faction communication for RP.
It makes the drinker understand the others.
You aren’t forced to understand them.
So if anything, drinking the potion makes you able to be trash talked and say nothing back XD
Whew, ok thank you guys for explaining more.
I can flirt with all the Draenei ladies now. YES.
Time to wear my best revealing mogs.
Is it also something that will only work on RP realms? I really don’t want to ‘understand’ my enemy as a non-RP player.
Nevermind… I just saw this post…
Thank you so much Blizzard! I’m very excited about this and as a roleplayer, I appreciate it very much. It’s nice that our community isn’t forgotten.
Not many think we’re important, but I’m really glad that I saw people even not among us stepping up and showing support too. So thank you all as well.
There you are Fallynn. I saw your post about this issue in another thread last night or the night before w/e. Anyway, when I saw this I thought of you.
If you go into the basement of the Goldshire Inn on Moonguard, I’m pretty sure you’ll find some mixed up tongues for your potions.
