Warbands Are Not What I Expected

so you heard “warbands” and then stopped listening and made up for yourself what it was. brilliant

they’re…fine, honestly the best part has been the account wide rep and warband bank (bugs notwithstanding). it would be cool to have warband characters replace dungeon/delve followers, even if just aesthetically as a cosmetic option

what i wasnt expecting is all my characters from different realms to just be tossed in one big, unorganizable slapdash list with absolutely no easy way to see who is on what realm or sort them in any fashion other than manually dragging nameplates one at a time and checking which other characters are on that realm by weather you can see their gold total or not.

I still think a lot of confusion would have been eliminated if Blizzard just said “Account Wide” instead of giving a term like Warbands. The feature is just account wide resource and currency sharing. Nothing more.

It may be nice if they allow us to fill scenarios and dungeons with our alts but that isn’t something that I have ever looked forward to doing.

The way I took them when they were first announced was exactly what you stated. I thought I would be doing dungeons with my other characters and that sounded so cool lol. Especially since I have spent so many years dedicated to all these different characters.

This is exactly what I expect that will happen someday.

We’re gonna get the same AI characters that we currently have (that old lady tank — I can’t believe I forgot her name — with the orc shaman, and a few others. I wanna say dwarf mage, human priest, and tauren druid? I’ve only run follower dungeons a few times)… just with different skins.

This is the most realistic outcome. Blizzard will make presets for each classes (one minimum) and slap your alts’ appearances onto this preset AI.

I will genuinely be shocked if they ever create separate presets for each specs, instead of just classes.

That being said, this would make follower dungeons even more fun and funny for me. I’ll be shaking my head at the Hunter AI messing up things while wearing the appearance of my Hunter main. :joy:
