I'm a developer at Blizzard working on World of Warcraft - AMA

Some of this stuff is going to be a bit vague as to make it impossible for the company to figure out who I am if they come across this. I was moved from 8.3 work onto the next expansion within the past 6 months.

I will not take any pictures or anything of the sort. There are cameras in the office and if they wanted to find out who took it, they'd just need to play back the tapes.

If people repeatedly ask me things in an attempt to compromise my job or reveal me or anything of the sort, I'll just close the tab and leave you all to silence.

With that all clear, ama.

When will you people finally admit to the public that the way WoW is now is objectively shit?

I don't know. I wouldn't imagine anytime soon.

6 inches.

I don't think the Titan is coming anytime soon since I haven't seen any concept art of her even.

Not really. Pretty much no one has pride in the games right now that I've talked to. It's just a job for us. Most of us don't even play the game. As far as I understand, it's even more so for those higher up.

Currently three that I've seen or heard anything from personally, though only one is actually beyond concept art right now.

Not as far as I've heard but that's not really my department.

Honestly prolly no.

I'd say probably never since the resources to build a WoW 2 wouldn't be worth it in this market.

They don't tell us (me?). It's not the metric the company uses anymore.

Is there a real reason (besides money) that content is timegated and players are often left doing tedious activities?

Wakey wakey Stevie!

There's a few drastic changes coming in 9.0 but they're nothing like a WoW 2. Mostly leveling changes (sort of a blended ESO-style) and some faction changes being weighed. Some on my team were working on prototypes of how a faction merger would work systems-wise and how it could still allow for PvP using warmode.

No clue myself. No one on my team including me has been around since before Cataclysm.

Everything is about money, it'd be lying to say otherwise. Timegating is used for two purposes - to keep people playing the game longer and to give people something to do without having to make even more content that'd take longer to release.

Powercreep isn't really a thing since we don't make expansions based on 'what's tougher than the last.' IMO Deathwing was weaker than Arthas in the long run. As far as leveling, it will become more important in 9.0 though endgame is our focus since people don't care about leveling as much as they used to.

Vulpera and Mechagnomes. 'Light' Undead for Alliance afterwards. Last I saw of the Horde race was a feral boar looking prototype but nothing complete.

I just eat while I work but most people's are 20 minutes.

She'll survive into the next expansion.

I'm at home. Had the day off for Father's Day anyway.

What said.

If you're really working there you should be able to tell us all the upcoming allied races currently planned. Until then, every last one of you monkeys are just hackfraud LARPers.

Does N'Zoth win at the end and will the world be Cataclysm'd by him ?

Um, ya... Is it true that Blizzard sues peoples as part of its business model? (They do it to make money, more than protect property)

"Light" undead , thats silly

Is it true Blizzard is planning on scaling down the player levels?

They're already kinda confirmed since the last novel. Calia Menethil is a lightforged undead and she can pretty much lead them if needed.

we need some form of proof OP. you could easily provide some assuming you actually work there that wouldn't give away your identity. but you won't, because you're LARPing

Who is the last boss of BfA?

Does Aszhara dies?

well, still seems silly , but its their lore so whatever

I'm fucking OP's mom right now, AMA

Why is WoW so shit?

Absolutely. There's a lot of different paths that can be taken to secure its future.

No, he's defeated by the end of 8.3. Not dead forever though.

Hey, it's better than "just-undead-but-without-bones-showing" being playable on the Alliance that was considered back when Allied Races were going to be just "inverses" of the other faction's races.

60 will be the level cap before 9.0. Once 9.0 hits, the "new" level cap will be 70.

I don't personally know any furries but then again I don't ask coworkers personal questions.

There's a planned "necromancer" prestige class for warlocks, though it'll just be a "skin" so to speak.

Sylvanas is doing all she can to stop N'Zoth from breaking from his prison. Though not all will be forgiven.

Not really a final boss so to speak but the final encounter is saving Sylvanas (though it'll require fighting her first) and resealing N'Zoth's prison.

She's alive into 9.0.

is that class skin thing still happening with necromancer warlocks

What is 9.0 themed around ? Void Lords ? Old Gods ?

>Powercreep isn't really a thing since we don't make expansions based on 'what's tougher than the last.' IMO Deathwing was weaker than Arthas in the long run.
I meant number wise, the difference between geared players and tiers is insanely large. New patches just invalidate the previous tier outright.

Can you tell us something that is coming that hasn't been leaked out yet, so that in the future you can prove yourself to not be a LARPer?

Whats the theme of the next expansion?

Do you know anything about Classic WoW's development?
More specifically, do you know whether or not there are plans for TBC realms and WotLK realms and so on in the future?

This. What do you know about classic?

Are we getting a third warfront?

Is 9.0 going to be that gay light vs void on the ethereal planet thing with the factions being split like that another thread like this a few months ago was saying

are you adding anything substantial to the classes next expac or their tool set shit is one of the main reasons i can't bring myself to play

Any plans for more legacy content servers if Classic is a success? Lot of people clamoring about TBC and Wrath.

Also are Blizzard trying to retcon Wrathion out entirely?

Are they going to remove titanforging and the whole slot machine garbage gearing has become in the future?

How does blizzard decide who gets a beta invite? Are you more likely to get an invite if you have been invited before?

Is the artifact system/Azerite trait thingy where you keep grinding that ressource will still be a thing in new expansion?
Is titanforging still there?
Any plans for (pvp) vendors and resilience?

Why are all of your games shit now? Why do you think you can charge $15/month for a 15 year old game?

Do you not have a phone?

>Sylvanas not only lives, but she was trying to save the world!
Goddammit. Why can't she just be evil and get killed? How thick is the plot armor around the Main NPCs these days? Does anyone of significance die?
What does Thrall do?

Do you know if there's a secret cutscene for Mythic Azshara and what it might entail? also do employees get free access to games like WoW or do you have to pay retail price?

I have serious doubts about Mechagnomes because of the fact that their models make it so gloves, wrists, and boots don't show up at all. If they really are going to be an allied race can you explain how Blizzard is going to get around this problem?

What will be the next expansion about, are there yet again more hidden isles or it's another planet?

Will saurfang finally become our warchief or he will die a pathetic "honorable" death?

What about thrall?

What the fuck is his problem?

Because not only is she a woman, but she's getting uglier and covering up more as well. That's how meta Azshara was, she realized she'd be turned into a loot pinata if she stayed elf form and went full retard for that queen slayyy protection.

>No one on my team including me has been around since before Cataclysm

The original WC3 canon, the Male NEs had harems of females they looked after.

That never made it to WoW, will it make it into the WC3 remake?

>No, he's defeated by the end of 8.3. Not dead forever though.
If this is true it is the biggest missed opportunity and honestly a cop out. My only hope for this game was the return of the Black Empire. It would have offered a decent enough excuse to reset a lot of things. Then again I was hoping they would do that with Sargeras and I ended up disappointed there too.

Is there any possibility of a class design rollback to some of the archetypes of the previous expansions? Or at the very least the dropping of the fucking awful artifact systems? I'm pretty fucking sick of expansion only systems and the AP grind is one of the greatest things that makes me not want to play the game outside of raiding.

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF A NEW SOUTH PARK EPISODE FOR CLASSIC?

Attached: 1.jpg (956x534, 126K)

Is it safe to say real player housing is permanently never ever'd?

I must have missed something, because I don't recall that bit of lore.

They don't have the balls to let the bad guys win

South Park is too busy dealing with the bad orange man to care about a 15 year old game

The focus on the next expansion will be around both the return of and the rise of the dragonflights as a whole and dealing with the forces of Death (Kel'thuzad, Bolvar, Arthas, Bwonsamedi and their mysterious god.) Elune will be a big part of the next expansion as a sort of aspect of Light that serves as a 'frenemy' who's allied with Death. The kaldorei's faith is shaken since she put into motion the events that lead to Sylvanas' reign and her Blood War.

Playing the patch isn't changing anytime soon since it keeps things fresh.

Not my department. I don't know anything about Classic. I didn't even play it.

K'aresh is slated for 10.0 though at this stage that could still change. Unlikely though since that story is coming.

I don't know much about balancing or systems changes in regards to classes. Tinkers and prestige classes are what I know.

Wrathion has been postponed repeatedly since the Dragon Isles has been on the backburner for a while now (and was originally supposed to come after WoD). He'll play a big role and I'd be surprised if it wasn't his voice on the reveal trailer when they film it.

I don't know much about the new systems changes though judging by the many quests talking about this new orb everyone's getting I'd assume that's the new artifact weapon/heart of azeroth.

Posting this first and then finishing up with everyone else. Be patient!

Do you have any info about other big projects at blizzard (i.e Overwatch 2)?

Make jumping puzzles like all the other modern MMOs you lazy fucks.

what are you doing with your peepee, mister, my daddy told me we can't touch it in public

Are there any plans to revisit Alternate Draenor content? That teaser about Yrel's Light Jihad was actually interesting.

It's definitely canon. There's way more females than males and the males generally stayed in the Emerald Dream.

There was a piece of concept art that discussed NE meetings and mentioned that the men generally stayed silent themselves, communicating instead through the women they looked after.

What ever happened to the dance studio. Right up there with D3 PvP arena as a major promise and can't deliver or ever reference again??

High Elves when?

>two dubs and a quad
these magnificent digits just proved it's a real blizzard employee

Sending this thread to Blizzard security email, hope you are larper, user.

People pay for it.

Saurfang was slated to die to save Sylvanas last I saw. Though there was talk about it if it should be him or Thrall before. They both stage a revolution and put Baine on the 'throne' though Sylvanas doesn't put up much of a fight. She's already off preparing for Nya'lotha by then.

I haven't heard anything about one but that's not saying there's not one.

You have to pay full price if you're not just testing out things on the test realms.

Pretty much the thought process went was naga wouldn't have boots or legs. People still want to play them. They could be playable. But we want to have one allied race for each primary race (aside from Pandaren). Mechagnomes are an optional allied race. When you make one you know parts will be hidden. It's not a big surprise.

-"yet again more hidden isles"
Yes.

What happens to Azeroth (the nascent titan)?

This is the one thing that makes me greatly doubt you. Unless they ended it, employees (including CSR) used to get a discounted sub.

So dragons confirmed next expac. Any chances for a new class or are those prestige classes going to take their place just like the allied races replacing the old? I assume there will be yet another huge grind for the prestige classes just like with allied races to keep people grinding for months?

>Nelf fans will fucking riot
They're used to being shit on by now

Elune being bad isn't shitting on Nelf lore because Elune has zero lore

Elune is the fucking worst part of Nelf lore

Read in an article awhile back Blizzard pays shit compared to other game companies and the people stay on because it looked good on their resume.

Please don't dredge up my boy KT for more nostalgia wankery.
The shit you guys did with Illidan was bad enough.

Tauren peacecucks will also be on suicide watch

What? I've never played WC3 but I'd assume no?

Honestly there's people working on it every year or so with a new prototype, it just never gets approved.

None at all.

Weren't there jumping puzzle world quests in Legion?

Yrel will come back eventually (likely in the expansion following) but not before then.

Dance studio?

Not happening.

Some people like M+ but that's the focus right now since everyone seems to like it.

I'm not offered it, that's all I know. I was going to check it out on live servers back when Argus hit and there was no option to get an employee discount.

FUCK CHINKS btw

>deleted post with the trip
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Keep larping faggot.

Months of grinding exalted with multiple factions and hundreds of thousands of gold.

Two questions.

Azeroth. N'zoth. Both of them end in 'Oth' That, and the quote from emerald bad dream: "Its surface blazes bright, masking shadows below."

Is N'zoth actually the titan of Azeroth?

Second question but a smaller one. Anything for fucking roleplayers? Some of the casual lean emotes are nice and those would be cool to use.

blinked and I missed it.
what'd I miss?

They should really just consider adding specs rather than adding whole new classes at this point though I guess there is no way to do it without having large swaths of the playerbase complaining that their class didn't get a new one.

Nya'lotha is larger than a normal zone. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't going to be split into 2-4 zones depending on how big they want each 'slice' to be. So, yes it's 8.3.

The current plans are Tinker class, necromancer skin, dragonsworn skin and dark shaman skin.

If they've settled on a name for her, they haven't told anyone but the higher "teams".

Druid. Dragonkin forms and flame/frost to replace the lunar cycles.

Hi, I read somewhere that Blizzard was looking into inspiration from Classic for future expansions, evidently higher ups realize they lost their way with the game here lately and are looking to make improvements.

Any idea what they possibly meant by this? Or rather, are there any changes on the table for World of Warcraft that could be seen as inspired by Classic or older iterations of the game?

Any plans for new specs to be added to existing classes? Such as a tanking spec for shamans, or a healing spec for mages.

I'd have to play Classic first to know what that'd even mean.

I've yet to see them come up with anything new. They pass off old ideas as new ones and their child fanbase all celebrates them as prophets. "Class skins" have been talked about like every months since forever. Their 'list of allied races' were uninspired and could had been ripped off of WoWPedia.

Blizzard has been shitting on night elves constantly since Cataclysm

because they wont afford the dev team the time to make them playable, also beast races are insanely unpopular compared to pretty human races

Looks like Blizzard continues to shit all over night elves so it's probably true.

What's your opinion on imoutos in anime?

Do you think WoW has become less than stellar because of the total lack of passion or interest on the developers part?

What’s the work culture like?

Same reason Ethereals and Arrakoa will never happen.
Its not worth the effort when Blizzdrones will get equally excited over yellow draenei and brown orc anyways..

A follow up from

Making newer expansions more meaningful? Better loot from raids, Tier sets coming back? Whats the solution to the slot machine looting of the current game if there is one?
Are they planning on pushing the focus from looting up in M+ back onto end game raiding? As of right now, having to gear up in M+ and getting maybe a piece or two that's an upgrade out of a raid is pretty shit.
More creative time gating? I don't have an issue dumping time into something, like an attunement. However, some of the time gating as of late has been so lazy "You can only do this once a week and you gotta do it for 8 weeks straight to advance your story"

No sethrak.

The Alliance sort of got their revenge early due to the frosty reaction to the beginning of the expansion. We were going to leave Tyrande's retribution for 8.3 but people were a bit more impatient than we expected. Baine and Anduin will make peace and Sylvanas and her loyalists will go into hiding.

Nya'lotha isn't in the sea. It's gateway is in the sea but Nya'lotha is its own plane of existence that will be transported over its gate in 8.3.

99% of us don't know the name. We aren't told more than we need to know. The only people who need to know the names of expansions are marketers.

You're forgetting that then tauren and gnome players would feel neglected.

Apparently Yea Forums and Yea Forums use the same tripcode username thing. This is me.

>Baine and Anduin will make peace
I guarantee they'd rather have there be no Warchief than do Baine, because they know how much people hate him, so you're LARPing. It's 100000% more likely Thrall destroys the warchief position

What upcoming change to the game are you most excited about?

Or are you excited about nothing

Tell us something a random wow addict wouldn't come up with

>Baine and Anduin will make peace and Sylvanas and her loyalists will go into hiding.
Fuck I hate this gay inevitability. Baine's a massive faggot and their attempt to have him and le Chuck Norris orc do another Garrosh overthrow for muh honour is such bullshit

gnome players dont have feelings. Also is the inclusion of so many female story characters just a coincidence or is there an actual narrative push going on

>Azshara already looks like a pretty race in a snake costume.
She's ugly though. You'd have to be one helluva degenerate to fap to her naga form.

Confirmed true, Blizz is actually retarded enough to think beating Nathanos up a bit while losing several named characters to the horde is retribution for losing a city.

Do people actually think that every single game dev has unbridled passion for the job and the game they're working on rather than just treating it like a job they do to put food on the table that tangentially aligns with their interests?

what kind of qualifications do you need for like an entry level position at blizzard?

>not Siege of Silvermoon with Azuremyst warfront
FAKE

People like to think that their favorite games are made out of love and passion but they're jobs just like anything else. Imagine a developer is like a plumber. It's a relatively cold work culture where people don't really interact much. Most things are done by passing notes and papers without words if there's any interaction between desks at all.

I'm more excited for Elder Scrolls 6 honestly. It's about the only game I'm looking forward to.

I mean no one's come into the office and said "Hey we're trying to appeal to chicks" if that's what you're asking. About a third of the playerbase is already female last I heard.

what are you posting on Yea Forums?
>Alliance got its revenge already
Sure doesn't feel like it.

>retribution for losing a city.
Horde lost UC and had Dazar'alor sacked.
Yes, forcing them to scorched earth their own city is the same as having it burned down

Pretty much this. Most people come to Blizzard expecting to enjoy it but no one does after a month passes.

Star Trek threads

If I were to plant a bomb with the intent to kill as many of your co-workers as possible, where should I plant it? This post is satire by the way.

Have there been any talks of what to do if Classic becomes very popular?

Do any other series have stuff coming down the pipeline? Non mobile stuff.

Well Nathanos is a self insert for a lead writer so it makes sense he'd think so highly of his own character that letting us slap him around would be equal to a historic alliance city

If Elune is evil and working against Nelves/suppporting Sylvanas why did she grant Tyrande ultimate mega powers to kill Sylvanas?

Hint: because this thread is bullshit

That's not how Starcraft was made.

I'll admit i haven't played retail since WotLK, but i remember hearing in teh rumor miill at the time of making a full bore 3rd faction that was originally going to be goblins, naga, and pandaren, and i think ogres. I'm going to guess the idea of a 3rd playable faction is just gone forever as that idea at the time. But, has there ever been talk of shaking up the alliance and horde factions into actual sub factions or anything like that?

What is your name, birth date, and exact position in Blizzard?

>Star Trek threads
most based thing in the thread desu

Will you be playing Classic?

Also, whats the plan with future expansions and the clutter of all these new zones and regions? It feels like the map is just full of shit nowadays. Are there plans to revamp older content instead, or just continue churning out more regions / islands / ect.

Also, what are some interesting zones coming in the future, other than Nyalotha

Lol how many years ago? Nothing made by more than 20 people or with more than $1mill behind it has soul.

Tell your higher ups that the only way to save WoW is the implementation of playable ogres.
Its the only way.

Care to share any big changes that were planned but scrapped at the last minute so to speak?

Maybe because Warfronts are an unending cycle of infinite death with no resolution and Tyrande does LITERALLY nothing with that power.

The actual lore reason is likely gonna be that the ritual that Tyrande invoked wasn't a request, but a forceful demand, which is why it's so dangerous in the first place. You demand that sort of power and can't take it? You're dead, no two ways about it.

CS major here graduating from a mid-tier school next semester. Any advice of landing a good game dev job? I have no internship experience.

How come Horde members can use the light, druidism and the elements despite defiling all three every chance they get? How come Benedictus could use it despite aligning with Old Gods? Forces like these seem to just roll with whatever or Elune is manipulating both.

Fuck the grunts, go for the leadership

They revamped the vanilla zones in Cata and people hated it, so I assume they'll just leave all past expansion continents mostly untouched in the future. Payoff isn't worth anywhere near the effort

Yep that's kinda my point.

how many game developers post on Yea Forums?

How fucked is the wow team? Like what % are diversity hires that can't do their jobs?

>How come Benedictus could use it despite aligning with Old Gods?
The Light literally doesn't give a shit about anything. It's not a moral choice, it's a career path.

Bobby Kotick, March 1 1963, CEO

Yeah, but if people hate whats there now, why not improve it? Its not like people could hate the hated content anymore, right? A lot of those zones could do with having their stories advanced. Like more purification to the plagued lands, or the barrens recovering from the Cataclysm.

they definitely lurk around here

because Blizz was infected by jews and atheists. it used to be God

So is the 'feral boar' race supposed to give Horde access to the Worgen skeleton? Can you give any information about the Tinker class? What is your team looking into as far as cross-faction come 9.0?

Scarlet Crusade was around in Vanilla and followed that exact, same principle.

Thats my point. If what this dude is saying is true Elune likely doesnt care and is in it for her own machinations. Nelves were just a tool to be used.

because they weren't wrong?

A third faction would desperately help the wpvp situation which means it is unequivocally never happening. Merging factions and having some opt in pseudofactions for war mode is the likely outcome at this point. The ship has sailed on truly fixing WoW's faction problem which has existed since vanilla

>why not improve it?
Costs a lot of money to change landscape and make new quests

>Yeah, but if people hate whats there now, why not improve it?
As I said, opportunity cost.
They'd rather just put the equivalent effort into making something new that people will hopefully like, rather than removing the old stuff (that some people might still like) by replacing it

Elune has made a bargain with the goddess of Death. She's doing all she can to both honor that bargain and not forsake her people.

There's talks about loosening faction barriers so that people can play with both sides or even do quests for the other faction but I seriously doubt that'll go anywhere.

Nice try Ion.

Qa'pla.

I might check out Classic if it's good but I hear it's mostly just a grind.

New zones are the plan. The map looks cluttered but it's not like a serious problem.

The currently unnamed spawning grounds look neat but it's just concept art right now since it's just doodads being worked on right now for there. Full of steam pools and geysers.

For BFA specifically? Hiji and the Plunder Isle were going to be introduced before Nazjatar before being scrapped. Hiji was going to be off the coast of Zandalar and Plunder Isle Kul Tiras. Moira was going to play a large role in the Alliance but no one knows who she is so it'd be pointless.

The creators were always the Titans. There was never a "God" so to speak in Warcrafts lore, just many celestial beings. The Light is essentially an element of nature.

Can you talk more about the last pair of allied races? What are the Lightforged Undead and what's up with the boars?

Since I see you're looking forward to TES 6, how disappointed are you with Bethesda and their recent titles?

I'd heard some rumors that classic is going to be sort of in the official timeline as a Chromie course correction, to be run in tandem with retail to allow for Warcraft IV instead of having TBC. Complete hogwash?

Is there anything different YOU want in the game thats coming soon?

I know you're full of shit because there's actually embedded information in the render output they could find out who you are instead. Stupid fuck, every employee knows this but you apparently? Yah, fucking lying shitstack.

Illidan was the best thing about Legion because he was essentially the antithesis of Warcraft's shitty writing.

He straight up told and pointed out that everyone were being pussy retards and actualy got shit done in a believable manner.

As far as I understand, yes. I really hope they're not wereboars but I don't know the lore associated.

Tinkers are planned to start around level 50. Tank/healer/DPS with access to mail armor. Tanks have 'power armor.' DPS use stealth, bombs, mines and guns. Healers use healbots to heal in between damage dealing.

I don't know if the cross-faction stuff will actually hit live or not though the talks were about letting people interact with the other faction as normally as they do their own so long as warmode is off. Orcs in Stormwind, night elves in "Horde" guilds and all.

Redeemed/light undead are Forsaken who have defected to the Alliance and been purified in the Light. No clue about the boars aside from what I've said.

1. Skyrim, Modern Warfare 2 and Assassins Creed. All of them.
2. I didn't have a preference for the project. I just wanted a good paying job that'd be prestigious in the field.
3. I enjoyed a bit of the game during HFC.
4. Company merge.
5. It's just a job. I'd rather be an actor, but ofc I didn't go into that.

>Racial passive is a 1% chance on the hour of Mankrik coming out of nowhere and executing you

Old-world revamp when?

>What are the Lightforged Undead
Calia Menethil (Yes, Arthas' sister) was a follower in Legion for priests, where she made it explicitly clear that "It's just Calia now" and that she has absolutely no ambitions for the throne. In the "Before the Storm" novel, she councils Anduin on a planned event, a reuniting of living humans and Forsaken on a neutral ground under armistice. Some of the Forsaken conspired to defect, seeing their chance to run when they recognize Calia without her hood and appealing to her to help them. She does, telling the Forsaken to run to Stromgarde, even though she is simply being coerced into it and had no plans to do anything of the sort before.
Sylvanas, who sort of planned the whole thing, uses this as an excuse to completely butcher every single person who didn't immediately return to her with disgust for humans as well as killing Calia. Anduin threatens her with war for it, but Sylvanas tells him that she simply killed her own defectors and a neutral usurper to her throne, so he can't do shit.
Velen and Anduin then take the fresh corpse of Calia, take her to the priest order hall and invoke the Light to resurrect her.
Light undead aren't exactly lore breaking because we've used literally every single school of magic to resurrect people into undeath at this point. Arcane, Shadow, Nature, Elemental and Death. Light was the only one left, only a matter of time.
Jaina's recently raised brother was freed from his mind controlled fate in the Horde and Baine turned him over to Anduin and Jaina, with Anduin stating that there's a "friend" they have to meet.
So those two will likely be the starting point for a faction of humans that were raised with the Light and not Death magic. Expect more intact bodies, fresher corpses and tattoos because every fucking allied race needs to have tattoos.

When will you kys and the rest of the dev team so WoW can be fixed?

maybe, but who the fuck asked for playable quillboars?

They're a separate class. It wouldn't make sense for a warlock to suddenly become a necromancer or a druid a dragonsworn.

I don't think so. I know what quilboar are.

BFA. Darkshore and Arathi Highlands.

>worgen quillboars
Not only is the idea retarded but the Horde are already getting an AR with the Goblin rig (Vulpera), so the Alliance would be getting a Worgen rig race instead. the larper is retarded

1. Will they be changing the talent system to something else? Or just putting in new talents?

user, you dont need to ask a blizzard dev for that. You can literally, just now, fire up WC3 and play Rexxar's campaing that feature only heroes playable, expansive zones with respawning neutrals, quests with a quest giver on the map, and so on. That IS the wow prototype

Will I be able to use my Trial account above level 20 finally?

Any chance blizzard updates models to allow players to add breast jiggle physics similar to how belts with physics allowed jiggle futa dick mods.

I wanted difficult, big, complex actual dungeons that prove a challenge and let you have an actual adventure with some close friends that work like a small scale raid team, not running through a Greater Rift with 4 random faggots, one of which is screaming GO GO GO on repeat while half the group leaves after anything suboptimal happens. M+ fucking blows and is not what I want in an rpg, let alone an mmo. Having it be this optional thing for cosmetics in Challenge modes was okay, but basing the entire endgame gearing on it was goddamn retarded.

m+ is garbage diablo 3 shit

v tards actually swallowing this bait

Not even near the same sooner. And you can get fairly high in mythic plus without too much trouble and by then it is just another dumb gear check because the numbers just keep getting bigger

Infinitely scaling content is retarded.

if you ever played Xcom it has mode that is similar to Mythic + but its actually fun and challenge.

>5. What is the most exciting thing you've seen in development that is yet to be unveiled and highly likely to actually be finished?

I like what's been done for Nya'lotha. Probably the tallest zone in the game.

Murozond.

I've played Diablo 3 and WoW at times.

Lillian Voss is slated for the undead lead though I could see that being scrapped and replaced with Calia if the faction stuff is scrapped.

I don't know anything about Classic.

Dragon Isles + Shadowlands confirmed.
K'aresh concept.
Ancient Azeroth/time travel with elf-queen Azshara concept.

Chromie's kind of hot now that people mention her.

Nope.
Anyroad, I'm going to head to bed. Thanks for the questions and chats and such! 8.2 is probably out on the 25th so it shouldn't be too long until 8.3 is confirmed and you'll see this is true.

Blizzard leaker, if you're still here.

Are they planning on removing TBC and Wrath content from the live game before they release a classic server of it?

tanks op

>Playing the patch isn't changing anytime soon since it keeps things fresh.
I think you are confusing ''fresh'' with ''pointless''. You (as the player) still do the exact same shit as you did the patch before, except now you are forced to play the ''latest'' if you want to do anything with the general population of the game. You guys have somefuckinghow just turned the ''there is not enough raiders at the last tier!'' complaint from Vanilla/TBC into ''there is not enough raiders at the earlier tiers!'' It has become so bad that everyone I know quit becuase of it or other problems related to those kind of design decisions.

>Muh LFR! Muh soloable!
Come on now, does anyone actually think that the LFR system or just oneshoting everything is in any way a suitable way to experience older content? You fuckers have a great system in timewalking, but since it's locked into ''events'' you are always forced into the newer content, which I guess is the point but it does nothing to fix the fact that everything below current patch is useless and ''dead'' content.

>Chromie's kind of hot now that people mention her.
based

They did that in Legion with Kara and Mechagon looks similar to that as well.

The game is mechanically much, much harder than it ever used to be. Dungeon mobs have more mechanics than old raid bosses. Difficulty in vanilla was entirely a function of numbers and that is addressed by m+ scaling.

Safe to say that we will not be seeing Azeroth herself being born, so we can finally see what she's like as a Titan?

Will they finally remove the shitty timegate for allied race? I want to come back to the game but i don't want to waste a month just for getting void elves

considering how all of what he said is fucking retarded and disappointing, Im inclined to believe blizzard will implement most of it

>new orb everyone's getting

Kara was too easy outside of Nightbane.
Mechagon is also piss simple trash that is already designed around M+ and everyone doing it for the story and to unlock flying.
As long as they develop dungeons with the intention of literally everyone ever clearing it, there will not be good 5 man content.

Mybe becuase not all of uas have done it? Have it ever crossed your mind that some of us never raided back in the day or did very little of it? Fuck sake, most of the playerbase still in the game are probably players from cata/mop that probably never did any raiding outside of LFR or ''current tier''

Hell, if you really think that all of the old content should stay irrelavant why not just fucking remove it? It would reduce the file size of the game and would make balancing anything below max lvl a fucking breeze.

Im not so sure considering its very obvious the dev team lost their soul and is running on pure money since Cata

Yes, you are absolutely right about Blizzard planning ahead.
That's why Warlords of Draenor had three raid tiers, Shattrath was a raid, Golden City of Apexis was actual content and Grom Hellscream was the final boss of the expansion with a legendary Gorehowl drop.

>The Heart of Azeroth is not just a name, it's the literal heart of the world
no, no it's not. it's connected to the heart but its not the literal heart you dipshit

I want a gnome gf bros

>Mybe becuase not all of uas have done it?
If they made old shit mandatory because some people weren't around when it was current, you'd piss off many, many more people who aren't interested in old stuff/played it and got over it than you'd please the people who missed out.

You gotta accept that there are people other than you

Every time they do a timewalking/scaled old raid people try it out once for the novelty/whatever small rewards they offer then never touch it again. Just because something is (10+ years) old, doesn't mean people want to do it (and especially be forced into doing it) forever.

I'm pretty sure there are some midget girls that look good.

>b-but WoD!!!!!

It's more like Blizzard plans shit out, but then at the last minute decides to change everything and the result is a rushed mess

Well, their spoilers for the next patch aren't super unheard of and probably could of been guessed. So 8.3 wouldn't be to concrete. Probably by next expansion announcement we'll know if its real or not. That dragon expansions is pretty outlandish of a concept. If that shapes up, we'll know they were real.

No way I'm leaking shit, fag.

It's actually kinda believable in that none of it is particularly interesting.

the elune and death realm with mystery god stuff is, besides that though nothing interesting is left in wow

>those furry fanarts about horde druids saving nelves
Fucking christ

>Saurfang was slated to die to save Sylvanas
if this is true i hope every faggit at blizzard gets fucking cancer

Whether he has insider info or is just making shit up, I'd say he's probably closer to the truth than many such "leaks". Prestige classes as essential reskins don't seem so far fetched after allied races. Vulpera are highly likely for a new allied race so it's not out of the realm of possibility for mechagnomes. Which makes the tinker look better.

A new class, some "new" prestige classes, and allied races all make sense in light of the level squish and a possible new leveling scheme.

Probable larp but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see nearly all of these at blizzcon.

Can't really expect anything out of blizzard if the employees have no passion in what they are doing. Not surprising. Just feeding off the carcass of something built by other more competent people.

This shit is obviously fake, but when the fuck is 8.2 dropping?

did anyone ask him?

probably on the 25th because blizz loves trying to compete with squeenix for some reason

>muh passion for a multi-million dollar entertainment product being worked on by hundreds of people
You've clearly never worked a white collar job, even a 'creative' one. Stop buying the fucking PR, retard

It's not about forcing anyone to do anything, it's about blizz fucking over all of the old content with class redesigns and/or stat squishes every expansion since cata/mop.

And if you really want to be "that" guy. I don't like the fact that blizz is trying to force me into new(er) content every patch, becuase everything outside of the new raid tier is just shit and boring. Either they start making better pvp/world content or I'll just stay unsubbed like the other 5m-8m players has done since WoD

>A new class

That's where this is a dead giveaway that it's fake. New classes are a fucking headache nu-blizz would never want to deal with. Try again.

Who gives a fuck. You shouldn't even be subbed to that garbage anymore anyways.

My husband works at Blizzard and I've heard 80% of this stuff already.

see
>Mostly leveling changes (sort of a blended ESO-style) and some faction changes being weighed

That's a nothing answer. I could tell you they are doing a level squish because of blended TBC leveling

I'm in the classic beta.

Will pandaren death knights ever be a thing? also will we ever get ogres?

Legion was a last ditch effort to get subs and it worked. BFA and onwards is lazy fuck shit that they'll ride until Classic overtakes the sub numbers

Is that pretty much an answer? ESO has all things open at all levels with scaling

It's definitely the weakest link by far, especially after their comments about the demon hunter. However, it's clear that the legion team is not the current team. I have no doubt that they will rehash a mix of specs from other classes.

Like what?

Sethrak as an allied race FUCKING WHEN

>It's not about forcing anyone to do anything
The guy I originally replied to talked about getting the general pop to do old content. The only way they could have that happen beyond brief timewalking styled periods is incorporate it into the current progression system, which means people are going to have to do it to maximise rewards.

>I don't like the fact that blizz is trying to force me into new(er) content every patch, becuase everything outside of the new raid tier is just shit and boring
Even if the scaling wasn't as steep, old raid tiers would be considered by a large amount of people people to be shit and boring because they've already played it and want something new. You're not the only person that plays this game.

>or I'll just stay unsubbed like the other 5m-8m players has done since WoD
;^(

Pandaren are incompatible with the Death Knight starting chain and it would require work beyond just putting a Pandaren npc in the Argent Dawn pow building to fix it.
Ergo, not gonna happen chief.

one new class with limited races (Tinker) and a bunch of reskin "classes" with fan requests like Dragonstuff and Necromancer sounds like something they'd shit out quickly to try and calm angry fans

>ESO has all things open at all levels with scaling

That's exactly what BFA has only there's nothing to do. And he didn't even say what leveling will consist of or where. Can we hit max level in Outland, Northrend, Pandaria? It's a bullshit answer.

Exactly. It's the kind of art team heavy, low effort content that keeps the subs rolling like allied races.

I can't even think of content I want at this point, I just want the game to be fun again.

there's absolutely nothing to do in ESO but somehow people don't bitch about that constantly

Classic is out August 27th

you're like a porn addict

concept name for 9.0

yeah I should play a GOOD MMO LIKE..........

He just calls it 9.0 I don't think he knows.

anything that people here could consider interesting

there's a bunch that are trying different stuff
or maybe just leave the genre alone for a little bit and come back

I don't want to play something I already played 15 years ago. I want retail to be fun.
I like the world, sue me.

The Dragon Isles will be bigger than Zandalar and Kul Tiras combined

Your father gave you good advice

Neat
But if they're the main landmass of 9.0, it isn't too much of a surprise for it to be say 20% or so bigger than the main landmass of 8.0. Especially if they go back to landmass design with a lot more empty space.

I'm an influencer and this is actually accurate.

Just realized he's gone now but he mentions death being involved next xpac and the legion death knight campaign teased Bolvar being up to some crazy shit.
Also all player DKs can raise their own death knights and undead dragons now.
If there's ever a time the starting area will get updated that's it.

is it true Blizzard employees are lazy as fuck and laidback? like they don't really do much to earn their paycheck, and usually just a very small amount of guys are work freaks doing all the legwork.

The stuff about the Night Elves and the Alliance getting "revenge" are so awful that I'm inclined to believe him.

Sounds par the course for most workplaces bud.

confirmed for never having worked white collar

Yea but I remember there was like a guy in charge of graveyards back in vanilla, like all he did between patches was fix graveyards, imagine fucking 3 months periods where all you do is add 2 new graveyards and make one or two more convenient when you die, and that's it, all you had to show was minuscule changes and spend months doing pretty much nothing because it works anyways.

>theyre looking for who posted this
Post tweet.

how many times per day do you dilate

TNG or DS9?

what was the reasoning behind BFA being so bare-bones upon launch?

Fun fact: Leaker is full of shit, i work at Blizz(and my dad works at Nintendo.
-The next expansions overall theme will be the allgod trying to kill the lesser gods, and generally be a dick, the idea is that this will lead into the next xpac where you kill the allgod(m'lady)
-The faction war will come to a close, or even end(but still exist on a smaller scale)
-The new class will be tinker, reskins of races and player models will be released and teased throughout the xpac the way BfA did
-The squish will not have any impact on the game, it's purely to try and convince new players to try it out
-Classic will have a BIG influence on the next xpac, the design team has really come around to make everything tedious and grindy to begin with, and then littering the same time sinks on top of that
-PvP is largely dead, half the people that play only do so to get weekly or daily bonuses, and census says that basically everyone is bored by it. Less than half of the people that "play rated", play less than 50 games a season.
-If you don't play more rated PvP, it will be turned into even more of a sideshow, with complete focus on PvE balance(kinda already there)
-There is talk of changing the art direction to make it even more cartoony(WE LIKE FORTNITE!)
I don't care if you believe me, in fact you probably shouldn't. Just don't believe the other guy, he's decent at roleplaying, but he's still full of shit.

How possible is it they’d remove BfA’s faction war from canon? It’s objectice faction butchering garbage

I would much better liked them saving Garosh back then, than saving this bitch now. Even worse if actually good characters have to die to "save" her.

I would fucking nut if this were true. Imagine a Warcraft IV free from all the bullshit retcons of WoW. Just imagine because I doubt the chinks of Actibliz would do it.

>forces of Death
So WotLK 2.0. And BfA is classic "filler" exp for before they can kickstart a story again.

Speaking as a former actor. Most of them are normies who fall into another job after they get broken in half by all the pedophillia and cronyism.

Just as a player I can tell you that leveling is a fucking hassle, with vast stretches of levels with nothing new character-wise. Considering they have efficient scaling tech, a level squish could bring numbers down and boost efficiency.
The only real concern is doing so will trim quests or render entire zones redundant, but that is already the case so I fail to see why they won't do it.

>Saurfang was slated to die to save Sylvanas last I saw. Though there was talk about it if it should be him or Thrall before. They both stage a revolution and put Baine on the 'throne' though Sylvanas doesn't put up much of a fight. She's already off preparing for Nya'lotha by then.
If this is true and all that Thrall&Saurfang hyping is just for this then I hope the blizzhq burns to the ground.
Also what is the spin for Sylvanas doing all this shit when she is "good" the this whole time??

>pedophillia
is it actually a big problem in acting or is it just a meme?

Actually this just makes it more convincing that its an actual nu-Blizz employee. Especially the part where he said he never played WC3 or vanilla WoW

Here is my question:

We will see transgender options for character creation in WoW?

The game is behind the times in this.

How is it possible, that you guys can't create quality content. Your yearly sub revenue at wows prime was 2+ billion a year. And the amount of content we got was the absolute bare minimum. This is compared to FFXIV and their little 1million subs, they continue to release more content and have more quality content. Where did and do all the resources now have to go?
