Reddit Ask Me Anything With Ion Hazzikostas on Friday, September 14th

Yeah, not going to bother with this one. I have literally zero faith in this actually being interesting or going anywhere.

i really hope that ion knows in which state the xpac is..

for damage control he must give us something super special for the game..

i expect things like account wide reputation..

It's not a waste of his time because he just ignores or deflects anything you ask him anyways.

Remember to ask, “why does blizz hate Alliance”?

I hope the questions burn the house down.

Won't even bother following that

That's exactly why I think this AMA will end up being a massive shit show. Can't wait to see how much drama and memes will be spawned from this. Better grab me umbrella and raincoat before going out into the shit-hurricane tomorrow.

If i were to ask a question, it would be something along the lines of why has Alliance been getting shafted compared to Horde this expansion more than usual?

Also maybe asking if/how they plan to fix the Warfront schedule to feel less exclusive to one faction. Because gating content from a single faction for 2 or more weeks at a time isn't fun at all.

Who cares... he wont answer the real questions. This is just another PR event and nothing more. But I wonder why is the 10$+ on the virtual tickets...

Frankly that would be my question.

Wonderful question. Man I miss the variety in abilities we had during MoP for most classes. I loved the way Balance Druids worked back then.

Except the last 2 or 3 QandA's he actually started with the most burning questions and get them out of the way. Back in beta with GCD's and shit. I don't like what hes doing either right now but lets give the man some credit atleast.

A question i would lile to raise : as a M+ only player how are we supposed to farm azerite gear ? The weekly cache does grant a chance yet far less than doing raids. I am not an rbg player. I can only expect my weekly cache to drop a random azerite gear which may or may not grant an upgrade. Any plans to improve it ?

Why? What's happened or changed in the past few weeks that would cause something like that?

What's wrong with class design at the moment is either of big picture philosophy, or of hundreds of spec-specific minutia, neither of which fit the scope of what the AMA asking for. I'm not expecting anything of value here.

The other way around: Ion expects you to provide at least some detail to your question.

I would ask something like "Can we get disarm abilities back? I always felt good disarming mobs in dungeons and feel that would be a good addition to mythic+ tactics because it makes me decide between spending a gcd on damage or lowering pressure on the tank".

To be fair, for half the people here not singing praises of their deities at blizzard is the defintion of being toxic. When things have issues is therefore automatically things being "toxic".

Anyway, won't bother eiither. It won't be an AMA, because they will cherrypick the PR questions again.

Its hardly more than a year older... apparently you too young to have been around for that

I don't quite understand the hate towards Ion Hazzikostas. Like he was the only person creating the game. It's the whole team working on it. Not that a single person is making all the decisions.

So comments like "He should move on, so we can have great game again." are pretty pointless. Anyway, when in history were people happy with the game as a whole?

Either way, based on this thread, this is gonna be nasty.

Do you blame the soldiers for a lost battle or the general that lead them?

Are you satisfied with warfronts? It seems like a lot of information about Them was missed by the community (e.g. length, swap etc.)
Also it didn't seem fair for one faction to get a clear advantage by being able to gain that much easy AP, and having a 100p certain 370, where the other faction only had the chance of one.
Also, waiting 3 Weeks longer than horde to try out warfronts feels bad.

when are Zandalrie coming? At the end of Expo so we can all play catch-up and so on? They should be available in the next patch

Most likely.

Then again, it's much easier and faster to answer a question that does't require you to tiptoe around a minefield + can actually be sufficiently answered in a short paragraph; compared to rather hard questions that require extensive responses and where every wrong word will haunt you for months to come.

I mean answering: "What is your favorite quest in BfA", is much easier and has MUCH less possible complications.
Than answering those giant questions like: "How do you plan on fixing PvP".
