We NEED followers in the open world again

Follower dungeons was a terrific idea. No toxicity, no man children yelling at you for not pulling fast enough, no getting kicked for not DPSing like it’s a mythic+20. Wonderful! Now, we need followers in the open world. I just did a Time Rift, and there was not one other person around me. illidan horde, for reference, the #1 server by pop in the USA… and not one person.

We DESPERATELY need followers in the open world. This game is so dead.

The WoD/Legion open world followers were cozy, do miss them.

Where can I find you

I second this. Trying to find groups for Zaralek Cavern elite quests is honestly an exercise in futility.

Maybe we could deputise our alts? We pick an alt as a follower when logging in and the alt will run on an AI similar or identical to the ones used in the follower dungeons. For simplicity in programming, they could use a default talent spec so they may use talented skills they do not have when played directly. As such, if your hunter is a beastmaster then as a follower that character will use a default beastmaster talent setup. It would also summon your actual pets.

Also make sure they use their transmogs!

Warbands future feature leak?

Sadly, by the time I could spare any of them from doing missions I out-leveled the place. And their AI is such that they will do NOTHING until you attack something. Not good if you are a level 70 and one shot everything. Not that they were needed but it was kind of fun to have them around.

I’d be up for followers as long as there was a way to shrink them so they don’t keep getting in the way.

Why? they supposedly simulate other players. We do not get to shrink them, unless there is there is some prank item that do that.

Volunteer for what? :flushed:

At that point might as well just have tenacity buff when outside a party lol… which would never happen btw.

I’ll be your open world follower. I’m a blood dk so my damage will be like an authentic npc.

obviously they’re offering open world follower services

As along i get to control them and dismiss them whenever i want to, then yes.

May I suggest joining a guild? Doesn’t seem like you’re in one.

Doomsayer thread btw.

I always wanted to be able to use my alts as bodyguards/followers.

Now you can also embiggen other players by mind controlling them first and feeding them kibler’s bits.

I want fully customizable followers (I want Vulpera followers who follow me around everywhere and ride fox mounts and have fox pets). :fox_face:

Yes! Every time I go back to the Broken Isles for whatever reason, my followers come out and make me smile.
