Lead Game Designer Cory Stockton and Lead Narrative Designer Dave Kosak answered some questions from Twitter today.
Garrison Buildings
- You will be able to swap garrison outposts at Level 100.
- If you build a profession building for a profession you know, you will get a faster daily cooldown, the highest tier recipes, and other perks.
- If you build a profession building that is for a profession you don't know, you will still be able to have the NPCs craft all but the best things from that profession.
- Level 3 garrison blueprints will be account-wide, as they are unlocked from achievements.
Garrison Quests
- You can invite friends to your garrison to help with invasions. There are Bronze, Silver, and Gold level rewards depending on how well you repel the invasion, so having a friend help out might be useful.
- NPCs that invade your garrison can attack buildings or walls, kidnap followers, or do other things using a new AI system.
- Every week or so you will get a story quest at your garrison, somewhat like the Patch 5.1 daily quests.
- There are sixteen weeks worth of non-repeatable story quests right now, which take place in the max level areas in Draenor zones.
- The first few weeks you build up your garrison and meet some characters, then around eight weeks in the more exciting parts start.
- You should be able to do these quests with friends.
Garrisons Misc
- Instead of dismissing followers, you will just deactivate them. This allows them to keep all of their experience. Reactivation has a daily cooldown and gold cost.
- Death Knights that are exalted with Knights of the Ebon Blade will be able to recruit all Death Knight guards for their garrison.
- Originally the Garrison was very big with a lot of NPCs, but that didn't feel great. The revised version was smaller and more customizable.
Misc
- Some of the max level areas in Draenor are group areas.
- The legendary quest has you working with Archmage Khadgar to build a legendary ring over the course of the expansion, starting at level 98. There aren't any PvP elements or long grinds in this questline this time.
- Originally the team was going to make it really hard to get back to Azeroth after disabling the Dark Portal, but that didn't feel fun.
- The team was working on Warlords of Draenor before Mists of Pandaria was done. They have been trying to think about the next few expansions ahead of time to make the story fit together better. They already have a really good idea of what the next expansion will be about now.
- Cinematics are used only for the more important events while questing.
Characters
- Vol'jin's Shadow Hunters will show up in Warlords of Draenor.
- Magtheridon won't show up in Warlords of Draenor.
- Rexxar will show up in Warlords of Draenor.
