Live Developer Q&A with Game Director Ion Hazzikostas
Ion Hazzikostas is sitting down for another question and answer session on Battle for Azeroth!

• This post will update with the stream!

[Daedius]

Boooo, Ion sucks. Boooo I say!

[Aeula]

Blegh, no 8.2. They're just going to non-answer a bunch of complaints and whines about gearing and PvP.

[Zequill]

What, Ashara's Palace? Name dropped the next raid?

[Eleccybubb]

And right into the RNG one.....

The team is actively trying to figure out how to lessen moments that feel bad without making everything a vendor.

JUST HAVE A VENDOR. Seriously stop with the arrogance already.

There are a lot more viable loot acquisitions in the game outside of raiding than in the past.

Such as? Unless half that other "viable" shit Titanforges which relies on RNG then no there's not.

Seems it's gonna be another pitiful Q and A where nothing of value gets answered or important questions get garbage tier answers.

ikr, usually the obvious solution is, well, you know......

also, amusing how many words it takes him to say "no". Hes a master of his craft.

The funny thing is people won't rage at the devs for bringing back JP or VP if they do it properly.

We already have a vendor with azerite gear. So you want more vendor?

[Pakheth]

Vendors have worked for the majority of WoW's life, why are they suddenly bad now?

I rather have something I can work myself to and know in the end I will be rewarded than this slotmachine crap we have now that just makes me want to play less because EVERYTHING is RANDOM.
Some RNG is fine, has always been, but todays WoW does not give me the sense of accomplishment as previous expansions have because the best gear I have I didn't really earn but was handed to me on a silver platter from some random WQ.

You know perfectly well I mean with all types of gear.

The Azerite Vendor barely solves the issue with RNG.

The team has no incentive to create content that is not fun just to pad subscription numbers.

HAHAHHA.

Well you been doing a good job of that lately boys.

People tend to fixate on the Activitision investor lingo but this is not what the team focuses on when creating content.

Sureeeeeeee you don't.....

The team values how engaged the community is and how often they are logging in to do content. They want to create content based on feedback and community response.

So the majority of the community told you to timegate content or 1 hour story quests hard and double down on RNG elements? Somehow I find that hard to believe.

Honestly it's just another "we pretend to hear you" but they are so out of touch Q and A.

Sad really.

[Varodoc]

I hope there is a Quel'dorei question. I have the popcorns ready.

[Dracullus]

What, Ashara's Palace? Name dropped the next raid?

Azshara's Eternal Palace. Name was dropped on Blizzcon.

[Daffan]

How many more Q&A before they are too money poor to run another?

[ManiaCCC]

"I'am Ion Hazzikostas and this is Jackass"

[Raetary]

What, Ashara's Palace? Name dropped the next raid?

azsharas eternal palace raid has been confirmed during blizzcon.

That's kind of funny...
