Warband Feedback

I lover the overall concept of warbands, but some things need to be addressed:

  1. I can craft from my warband bank, but i cant request or fulfill crafting orders with materials from my warband bank.

  2. “Deposit all warband items” does not deposit all warband items, not sure what rule it follows to determine what gets deposited, some reagents sometimes don’t get deposited, but is not consistent. Like the first time i went to deposit all my reagents from my bag to warband bank and it ignore all my meats and fish, but on a different character it worked fine. Sometimes even items tagged as Warband on the tooltip still dont get deposited. (This seems to have been fixed, or at least i havent run into it again)

  3. Warband bank is kind of laggy (This seems to have been fixed)

  4. There are too many soulbound items that should be warband items, like old bop reagents, recipes, profession tools, profession treatise, unlearned pets, etc

  5. Can’t buy from vendors that require materials as currency if the materials are not on the character (this predates warband, but i consider it related)

  6. Unique items in the warband bank are counted, so if you had an unique item on 5 different characters only one of them can put it in the warband bank.

  7. Character screen is too chaotic, need grouping, sorting, and filtering options

  8. Loading screens when switching characters are too slow, in part because of addons but even without them. Would be nice if we could hot swap characters, maybe a config setting to allow preloading as much as possible.

  9. All reputations should be account wide, the whole “some reputations are integral to the individual character progression” make zero sense to me. Make them all account wide. in the case of things competing rep like scryer and aldor, make it so only one can be active at a time, but if i have maxed out both rep on diff alts, when i switch to or choose one for the first time, it should recognize that i’m already max on it. I dont mind that not all rep are account wide right away due to time or tech limitations, i just dont like this philosophy that some of them cant be for [insert bs rp reason here]

Here are some spicy takes that i might be in the minority for:

  • Make processions more account wide. if I gain skill or learn a recipe in one Alchemist, give it to all my Alchemist, but have them share cooldowns and concentration to avoid exploitation. I know a lot of people like to play with alt armies to get extra cooldowns, i get it, i do it too, but i would rather not be incentivize to have an alt sweatshop. This also makes it so that if you are a one character only player you can swap professions if you want to try something new for an expansion or a season without worrying about losing your legacy recipe since they are learned account wide.

  • I want more warband bank space. I would sacrifice 50% of the regular bank space on all of my characters for a 50% increase on the shared warband bank. It is a net loss of space, but i would find it more convenient.

Agreed with the character screen being too chaotic. I can even select realms still and it just goes back to the warband screen like I didn’t just select a specific realm.

How do any of you use all of this storage? You were just given nearly 500 new slots and you’re already asking for more.

I put all of the reagents and all warband items from all of my characters into the bank, now i got a lot of bank space in each of my characters, but not much warband bank space left, it is a problem of my own making, im just saying i would be willing to have less overall inventory if more of it was shared.

How on Azeroth did this make it past QA? Am I blind or are there no sorting options at all? And the non-fav characters aren’t even sorted by realm? Is it last played? Can’t tell. 2/10 Big Dislike.

if bands are coming to the game are they going to bring bards too:???

7

quest that require made some item can’t be made from warband, like the profession quest at darkmoon feast

8

how does this storage work??

I was disappointed that the Bop mats couldn’t be put in the warbank. Still have tons of the stuff sitting on my gatherers doing nothing but smiling at me with that snotty “ha ha” smile.

The most annoying thing for me is the currency transfer, I have to have the currency on each alt before I can transfer any over, even though I have tons on other alts ready to go.

11

I’d say the reputation should be expanded down the road, sure, but there are definitely some that should remain character specific. I imagine RP people would feel strongly about some of those opposing ones specifically.

Especially since a good deal of them CAN be raised simultaneously with a ton of work, so it’s more meaningful to have it on that character. Sure you could just make the highest level on your account be the new norm, but I’m not sure that would be an elegant solution.

I haven’t got around to fixing my goblin reputation even after 15 years. But the bloodsail love me. If it just took my alts rep and gave me exalted for those four and I kept bloodsail it’d be pretty cheap. I get the “one active” solution but I don’t mind if like, 10 of the 100 reputations or whatever aren’t account shared.

do you like it or not like it

It’s mostly socks and underwear. You can never have enough. Once I didn’t - cause I packed like a doofus - and spent a stupid amount of gold on socks and underwear. Never again. Next time?? 18 pair of each.

and I wear my toothbrush on a necklace - don’t ask.

16

They gave us a cool feature after 20 years. Maybe they will add all this with 12.02.

17

Apparently they added things no longer applicable. Crossing them out shows they were “addressed”.

18

have you decided you like it

19

They have 5 lvl 80s and at least one of them is well geared. I would say they like it enough to keep going.

what did you guys decide
