Make New Allies in Zaralek Cavern

They may not know much of the surface wars, but their knowledge of the underground is key to players and their allies finding their footing within.

Patch 10.1 - Embers of Neltharion NA Group Interview with Ion Hazzikostas
North American content creators sat down for a group interview today with Ion Hazzikostas about Patch 10.1, and SoulSoBreezy put together a small recap of some of the more interesting information.


  • Blizzard is theming the upgrade system in Patch 10.1 and want players to experiment with the system before committing to it as an evergreen feature.
  • The team would love to increase the guild and Battle.net friend cap, but there are technical limitations to it.
  • Blizzard is being very careful in implementing cross-faction enabled content, but the goal is to eventually bring the barrier down more and more over time.
  • The next major cross-faction content drop is allowing queueable content, but there is no date set for it.
  • Raid Finder release is staggered to not spoil the experience for friends and family guilds that progress slower so that they can experience the raid and story as a group and not with random people in Raid Finder.
  • The goal is to keep adding more race/class combinations, but the team wants to give an explanation for it in the game before introducing it. Ion used the example of Goblin Druids needing to be set up for it to make sense.
  • The team still plans to add traditional flying to the Dragon Isles, and they are also discussing and planning on how to bring Dragonriding into content going forward.
  • Bank changes are coming, but most likely in a future expansion.
  • The Turbulent Timewalking Event is a good catch-up mechanic and we may see it again at the end of seasons.
  • Adding pronouns to the game is something still in the works, but there are some technical limitations that the team is still working through to have them reflected in game.
