MrGM Patch 10.1 Interview with Ion Hazzikostas - 3rd Evoker Spec

Live Posted 2023/04/25 at 1:00 PM by Squishei

Evoker 3rd Spec

There's no 3rd spec for Evoker in Patch 10.1. Anything is possible in the future.

Cross Faction & Guilds

The approach to cross-faction is cautiously chipping away worth of 20 years worth of barriers. They also want to be careful socially as they don't want to completely eliminate what the meaning of being Horde or Alliance means. There is some awkwardness in queuing up as alliance and being in a group with all orcs.

No plans to update Guild Tabards in Dragonflight

Timewalking

BFA timewalking seems likely in the future and keep expanding the system and give reasons to go back and explore the last 20 years of WoW

Dracthyr Transmog

Not likely in the near future to have Dracthyr have more transmog options.

Customizations

Every couple months they set aside some time for new customizations.

Bringing Back Old Dungeons

No technical limitations to old dungeons. Aesthetics and mechanics have some concerns with threat not being as much of an issue today and boss mechanics being lacking.

Patch 10.1.5

The Patch 10.1.5 PTR will be up shortly after Patch 10.1 launches.

Old Raid Bosses

Shortly after 10.1.5, they plan on smoothing out some of the BFA raid encounters that are unsoloable such as Mythrax.

Likely 10.1.5 for LFR Shadowlands

Comment by WoodknockSo its confirmed. NICEComment by SenkradsI hope the nearly break neck schedule the dev team is on is asked about.

Ion demonstrating he still doesn't get it.Comment by HappiiI mean, if I was actually grouped/guilded with an alliance, their corpse would be impaled on the spikes of orgimmar..... guess the team really can't recreate pre SoO mop faction conflict correctly anymore so just destroy it.....(yeah burn the tree down was fun but poorly executed storywise). Now I just see group mates as npcs anyways (outside of raid, were I wince at when it give us the message that it is cross faction). Although I loved shredding the alliance scum leaders again in wotlk classic. The day Alliance walk freely in orgimmar as "friendly" in the open world (non quest/raid) is the day any og faction pride dies.Comment by LandaiI hope the nearly break neck schedule the dev team is on is asked about.

They aren't going to add it in the main patch as it would shake too many things up especially with the testing and tuning required. Late in the season gives room for people to play it in a "non-competitive" setting if the balance is off and is also a hook to have people resub during the "drought".Comment by bahamut666othmanFinally... Can't wait to start soloing the BFA raids.
