What new stuff are you having trouble fitting? (Muffinus)

PvE
had a SoO lockout which I joined mid run, cleared to Garrosh. after leaving it said the first 3 bosses were available + Garrosh. few weeks later, extending the lockout, I kill Immerseus and now I have a lockout with only Immerseus dead. I suppose it has to do with lockouts being nothing more than loot locks nowadays, either way I think choosing to extend should mean you are deliberately choosing to get loot locked to these bosses you don't want to re-kill.
Agreed - I think we have some work to do there to clean up the system. (WatcherDev)

Lore
big lore moment in highmaul with cho'gall restricted to mythic only. feel annoyed by this, shouldn't better items be enough?
Not sure it qualifies as a 'big lore moment.' It's a neat fight, though! (DaveKosak)

Out of curiosity, how common is it for a Draenei to be named Exarch? Just did the quest chain with Yrel and found it interesting!
At this time in Draenor there were exactly five Exarchs, "The Hand of the Prophet." At least, they start with five... (DaveKosak)

Garrisons
What ever happened to, followers would get a rare mission to run old raids to sometimes bring back transmog gear?
Felt strange having them run old raids when they're supposed to be defending Draenor. (Muffinus)

With the legendary follower. Is it a character that we already know of or is it an entirely new character?
I'm not sure that a brand new character would feel legendary to people. (Muffinus)

I'm really surprised our Garrisons didn't get decorated for the holidays.
Def. would have been nice to have, it was on our wishlist to let you choose the holiday decoration set any time of year. (Muffinus)

Misc
also I get the feeling that after @WarcraftDevs showed up you guys just don't talk anymore, which is sad
With the release of WoD, there's a bit less to discuss atm I am thinking of making a crock pot of spiced cider. (Muffinus)

Fan Art
Some more nice fan art from breathing2004 today.

    WC3 remake looks impressive but i am not really sure if thats a great idea considering Blizzard gave up on Warcraft RTS years ago due to their stupid policy of 1 IP per genre

    I just hope Blizzard is secretly making a Warcraft 4 (rts), I don't care what the story is so much as I just want a new warcraft RTS.
    I mean think of the possibilities with all the stuff we have now... So fun.

    P.S your avatar/character is amazing, adorable and awesome.

    It is a problem. Non-toy toys, 12 types of follower upgrades... I thought the materials stuff was nice since i can just put stacks in the bank and craft using banked ores and herbs; however, this didn't solve enough problems compared with how many new items created. I have the same amount of bag room in this xpac as I did in previous ones...which isn't very much.

    Right, cause you can put a game to shame that hasn't even been shown, and may not even exist.

    Is it going to contain only a bunch of melee maps, or will the campaigns be there as well?

    There is no WarCraft III remake by Blizzard. If there were, it'd have been announced at Blizzcon.

    Well, good news! It'll be on the StarCraft II arcade, which is completely free to play. You only need to buy SC2 to play the campaign and ladder.

    As far as I know, that's not a policy. I saw an interview around Blizzcon where they even said Warcraft IV is something they often think about, and is something they might consider doing after the team is done with Starcraft II.

    Also, Blizzard's SC art team is actually making updated versions of all the Warcraft III units for use with the Galaxy Editor.

    I was planning to buy Starcraft II's battle chest anyway but that's great to know.

    I somehow think that the legendary follower will be Illidan Stormrage.

    StarCraft II has full support for WarCraft III style items and equipment.

    They are planning on updating all the races and maps first. The campaign comes later.

    20 bucks says the legendary follower is Kadgar.
  1. Graeham's Avatar
    Ah, look - Blizzard trivializing their own lore again. Why wouldn't the revelation as to why Cho'gall is in Highmaul be a major lore moment? The whole point of LFR is to allow players to see the lore of a raid as well so they're not even being consistent.
