BlizzcOnline 2021 - World of Warcraft Question Round

BlizzcOnline 2021 - World of Warcraft Question Round

General

As Anduin passes Uther, Uther recognizes the power that is controlling Anduin, resonating in his wound.
Sylvanas's fight will be one of the most epic fights ever made in WoW, it will include elements of her entire history, from her past as Ranger to Banshee.

When going from Classic to TBC, when making a clone, what will happen to my character's items and gold?

When the servers go offline before the patch, the characters will be taken instantly. When the servers return, players will have to choose what to do. If they choose to play TBC, they will simply log in and continue playing. If you choose to stay in Classic, you will have to open the Classic client and play there. Realms will exist in both TBC and Classic, so there will be a Dragon's Rest Deal in TBC and Classic. After selecting Classic, you can pay for your character, gold, and items to exist on the TBC and Classic servers.

How will the high population numbers in TBC be handled? Small areas and phases.

There is a desire to reclaim the captureable areas. But they also want to make sure the experience is enjoyable.
They have done optimizations to make sure things are more stable like AQ.
Like Classic, they will analyze specific problems such as the Black Lotus.

Any other race / class combination?

Player choice is an important issue in the expansion and especially in customization.
They have periodically reviewed the breed / class combinations. For now, they think they have gone far enough, but they never say never.

What happened to the Archon?

Survive the attack.
Speaking to Terran Gregory, they wanted to include some indication that she is alive in the cutscene so you can see her hand move.

Are you planning to address the faction imbalance soon?

This is something we talk about a lot, especially on the high end of Mythic + and bands.
This is something that has been a growing problem.
They were originally a couple of racial issues in previous expansions, but right now the racials are balanced and possibly the Alliance is more powerful, but now the issue is social dynamics and will need a solution.
It is a priority for us, but there is nothing to announce at this time.
We asked where the faction boundaries are. We already have the mercenary mode, but they want to make sure that identity and faction are important so that when someone asks BlizzCon to support your faction, that identity continues to exist.
Factions are balanced but in activities like Mythic + or Raids they are unbalanced.

Will your name be reserved in Classic if you play TBC?

It will be instantaneous when the servers go offline.
If you decide to make a clone, you will have that name in both realms, but you may have a tool that allows troubleshooting with one name.

Will there be a mass exodus to highly populated kingdoms? Are there more plans for connected kingdoms?

They have a tool that analyzes all kingdoms, allowing them to look up data on popularity and faction balance.
Launching Shadowlands was the top priority.
Shadowlands had huge effects on populations, so they wanted to wait until after launch before making any wishes.

Will the Horde and the Alliance never be able to make dungeons or raids together?

They do not rule it out but neither do they affirm.
It is important to preserve the identity of the Horde and the Alliance, but World of Warcraft is about playing with your friends.
The Alliance can now fight the Alliance in the arena.

Will the number of Anima be increased later? Will Curia upgrades be allowed on the entire account?

They have been adjusting raid and dungeon anime points.
In general, they are looking at costs but cosmetics cover the whole account, as cosmetics tend to be.
The progression is meant to span the entire Shadowlands.

Will we see Denathrius again?

Like Bwonsamdi, it is part of a community reaction as Bwonsamdi returned due to how much the community liked him.
He was destined to have a small role, and they heard the voice actor perform, loved the character, and kept him alive to keep his story open for more.
There may be allies of his who may be interested in freeing him.

When will we see more Dynastic Armors?

They will definitely be coming and they are excited to share them with the community.

Are you planning to bring the auction to the mobile app?

Not as you know it. Many automated systems were used. However, they do recognize it as a convenience factor, where you can shop when you have limited time.
Very few used the mobile app as intended.

Will there be more character customizations in Shadowlands?

There will be no more character customizations in Shadowlands.

What are the actual requirements to fly in Shadowlands?

It will not require reputation and will only require completing the Curia campaign.
You cannot fly from zone to zone. These are not zones that are not next to each other.
If you automatically fly between zones, it would probably take 30-40 minutes.
You can immediately fly to level 50 once you unlock it.

In TBC will there be class adjustments?

In general, no. We want to keep the authentic essence of Burning there with the final version of Burning Crusade.

Will there be new powers in Torghast for later patches?

Yes, as per Shadowlands preview.
Adjustments in progress in 9.0.5 PTR.
There will be new powers in patch 9.1.

How does the time between Shadowlands and Azeroth work?

There are a number of characters where time seems to have little meaning.

Would you ever consider bringing back content from 10 people?

When it comes to raid content, technically everything is 10 player content. But some players want Mythics in small groups.
It is the 5-player mega-dungeons that currently fulfill that role.

Will Summoning Stones come in TBC at launch?

Yes, they will be available at launch.

What is Bolvar up to and where is his story going?

It was one of the fun things about Shadowlands, getting Bolvar back into action.
There was a price to pay for those visions to see what was going on with Sylvanas and Anduin.
You will be at the forefront in Chains of Domination.

How will PvP titles work in TBC without battle groups?

The original battlegroups were due to original restrictions, which prevented inter-battlegroup play.
This meant that only 13 people had the title in America.
Since this restriction no longer exists, they plan to grant it to a small% of people in the top. More than 1 person, but a select few.

Could Teldrassil be rebuilt again?

The devastation of Teldrassil was final and many lives were lost there. That's not something they want to reverse on a whim.
The story of what happened to the Night Elves there, who were channeled into the Maw, is not yet finished.
Who is very involved with that story is Tyrande.

Will there be new Classic servers besides TBC?

We will not launch new servers.
We have our eyes on that and we will discuss it after the release of TBC.

How do you get the Wandering Ancestor mount?

They wanted to return a gift to all the players, so the art team brainstormed ideas and put them to a vote.
The winner was the Wandering Ancestor, so the only requirement is that you must have Shadowlands.
The Wandering Elder will be available in patch 9.0.5 next month!
