Submit Questions for the Developers
We have our first interview in a long time coming up at Blizzcon and as always, we want to let the community ask questions! This time our interview will be covering the design of Legion.

If you have any questions you think we should ask, be sure to add them to the comments of the linked post for consideration. We will pick the best questions and add them to our list!

  • Don't post any questions in the comments of this news post. Use the linked topic instead.
  • These should be questions about Legion, not Warlords of Draenor.
  • No class specific questions please. This includes things like balance between the different healing/tank/DPS classes and specs.
  • Keep questions reasonably short.




Warcraft Trailer Screenshots
Some screenshots from the Warcraft trailer were posted on Reddit this weekend. Obviously this was not intended for release and may not represent the final movie.



Day of the Dead
Day of the Dead was updated last year. There are several wrestling inspired costumes you can purchase for 100 from Chapman. Once in the costume, you can do battle with other costumed players. You can use the costumes even after the holiday is over!

There seems to be a bug with the achievements this year, as you can't kill other players with the costume on, only bring them to 1 health. You need to be dueling for them to die.


If you haven't already done the other part of the holiday, be sure to check out the guide on Icy Veins.

Level Type Slot Name
1Holiday "Blooming Rose" Contender's Costume
1Holiday "Night Demon" Contender's Costume
1Holiday "Purple Phantom" Contender's Costume

1Holiday "Snowy Owl" Contender's Costume

I think Wildstar really made that their thing, so it works for them. I was worried we were going to overdo it for WoW.
I agree with this statement. (Muffinus)

Why is "gamey" considered a bad thing? — Games need rules, but when the rules intrude too much it can be disruptive… https://t.co/IRrx2YUwhh
Real answer: because immersion is often at odds with clarity. Sometimes, there is a more immersive way to get that gameplay. (Muffinus)

Commercial gyms are like Casual guilds, with casual members. Minimum effort yet members want maximum attention / perks.
Gyms want to be a product that everyone buys but very few people use: https://t.co/AYIC1JlY2I (holinka)
ultimately you should be happy about those casuals. They keep prices down. (holinka)
over the members who pour their sweat and hard work day in day out at the gym?
make a gym like that! Maybe you can change the world! (This is all addressed in the linked podcast btw) (holinka)
also it is probably not $10-20 more a month. More like "double or triple what I pay now." (holinka)
I'm also not saying it's a good thing. Just the way gyms are structured now. Definitely room for high price hardcore gyms. (holinka)
why should that even be a means to an end though. I'm not even thinking about a REALLY hardcore gym. Just some place that has high
I guess the bottom line is most gyms are setup to sell memberships not to have people work out in them. Seems backwards right? (holinka)
Just describing why not defending it. But that person who gets on the elliptical for 10 then leaves is more cost effective. (holinka)
pays as much as you but is only there for 10 minutes. Most cost effective person? The one that never shows up at all. Free money (holinka)
real life is very sad (holinka)
Those comments are in NO WAY related to WoW. WoW is better with more people actively playing. We believe that 100%. (holinka)

Ghostcrawler Tweets
Ghostcrawler still occasionally talks about WoW. Remember that he no longer works for or speaks for Blizzard.

    Lol at the gym guy raging on casuals to holinka of all people. Blizz has kept 'real PvP' inside the rated walled garden since TBC. Bots probably outnumber the 'casual PvPers' at this point.

    Largely think the movie just should have went pure CGI, maybe it'll look it better in motion though.

    You don't realize how many people don't know shit about Warcraft lore and older Warcraft games until you read the comments on Warcraft Movie related posts. Such a shame.

    Is it the 90's? Those backgrounds, copy-paste textures are the best. After WoD 1.0 and before WoD 2.0 we need more orcs... yeah....

    This time tomorrow all we will be talking about is the sub drops ...

    The over/under is 5 million. I am thinking they could be as low as 4 million.

    They just forgot their own lore. Or made them brown so the dumb audience can tell them apart.

    What an irritating combination, Ghostcrawler and another question about "classic" servers. Are people too stupid to look into private servers? Blizzard isn't going to waste their time with past expansions.

    My mother is much more of a Tolkien fan than I am, and even she couldn't bear to watch all of The Hobbit movies without using the fast-forward button a lot. "Full on George Lucas" is very much an accurate description of Jackson's adaptation.

    karazhan. it's too dull and creepy for it to be dalaran. lordaeron shouldn't be until warcraft 2 and we've already seen stormwind and it looks just like the game except far more expansive.

    Jurassic World was a complete shit movie, nothing about it was good. And the CGI did make the movie worse, when stuff looks fake, it distends belief and takes you out of the movie.

    Watching Jurassic Park, you feel the dinosaurs are real, you don't feel that with JW.

    the problem with every Jurassic park movie after the original is that they stopped being about something. there was no theme. the only thing there was, was people's lives at risk because a dino was going to eat them.
