The War Within Posted 2024/04/20 at 7:25 PM by Squishei

full interviewHero Talents

The team is aware of feedback regarding Hero talents cosmetically changing their class fantasy in an undesired way. However, right now the focus is to get them released to the public. They're talking about it but as of right now, not working on any Glyph replacements or similar.

The team wants to get people's feedback on buttons feeling required for a Hero Talent Tree now that they're playtestable in game.

Hero Talent trees are being built as evergreen systems, aka they're built to last for more than one expansion.

Dungeons

The Dawnbreaker dungeon takes place over a large zone and will take advantage of Dragonriding again! Players will be escorting an Arathi airship.

The Rookery dungeon will have Follower dungeons enabled at launch because of how critical it is for the story.

Comment by O4Minister... The team is aware of feedback regarding Hero talents cosmetically changing their class fantasy in an undesired way.? Seriously?

Are they actually trying to understand the community? Most of the people want it to be JUST cosmetic so there is less balancing work so you can put more work into the rings that actually matter.

Give us actual cool looking class skins an d expand upon them every expansion/patch give us something to collect/ to look cool. It would be more efficient for you and more fun for us. But noooo how about 500 more passives that make you do 0.5% more dmge/healing and a few crap abilities that will have to be nerfed for the sake of balance... Yup that's what the community wants. Good observation ;) keep it up.

Also...I'm still so excited for the saga.Comment by GoblinaireMore Dragonriding dungeons? Because Nokhud was so fun right?Comment by VennerusTL;DR:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH..... Jesus!
What alternate reality am I in now? hahahah!
People are just asking for MORE CLASS FANTASY!
Like DK Rider of the Apocalypse which is highly praised solely because it is full of class fantasy and class fantasy visual effects!
My God..... How dishonest Blizzard is!Comment by zugzugzuugMore Dragonriding dungeons? Because Nokhud was so fun right?Comment by FullmetalRavenHey blizzard Rework Ele and Restro Shaman trees please. Bring back chain harvest. And Change things on Farseer. Please. Compared to other classes like fire mage sunfury or diabloist lock. Farseer is just really poorly designed.Comment by StrungengMore forced DR so cool....Comment by PeesneezeGamerant is the epitome of clickbait.Comment by Larryg121More Dragonriding dungeons?

"We hear the community loud and clear, but like usual we dgaf and we're going to do something else entirely while smiling condescendingly & passively-aggressively right in your faces while telling you we're open to feedback."Comment by LautnerSo they want to make sure hero talents are fun before they start working on changing cosmetics of it?

How unreasonable.Comment by LightningdragonvSo they want to make sure hero talents are fun before they start working on changing cosmetics of it?

How unreasonable.Comment by Kherneasah so you're saying destruction warlock are gonna be stuck with two hero specs that have nothing to do thematically with their spec for multiple expansions?Comment by johntravolta342Would people have less issues with hero talents if they didn't have any new visuals attached to them, if they were purely dps and gameplay additions because I really don't get it? There is no way we wouldn't get any new talents with 10 new levels so hero talents would happen either way so why is it a bad thing if they add some visual flavor as well? I'm not saying they should abandon glyph system, keep releasing more visual cosmetics through glyphs, but hero talents are fine for what they are.Comment by seth9841So they want to make sure hero talents are fun before they start working on changing cosmetics of it?

How unreasonable.Comment by Raxus502ok everyone, give soulbinds a chance... err, i mean hero talents...Comment by CognateClockworkWait, so not all normal dungeons will have followers enabled?Comment by immoralsoul...
