Cosmetic Glyhs Confirmed in Recent Interview by Ion

[icehunter43]

We did it bois n' gals,

To quote Ion: "Regarding where it will go, there's a lot of opportunity and they enjoy community ideas such as cosmetic glyphs for skills and further expansion beyond pets, mounts, and transmog."

It has been a long time, but well worth the wait. Looking forward to seing Fishbones06's and the others' wonderful cosmetic glyphs and custom class colors ingame soon

Scarlet Blood Elf Paladin, Blue Fire Mage, Moon Priest Night Elf, Totemic Tauren Paladin - what are you most looking forward to?

[Triceron]

Glad they're listening!

I've been happy about their recent transmogs snd customizations like the Totem Weapons for Taurens and Dark Ranger customizations. Spells really are the next step, and I hope they really adhere to fulfill significant lore fantasies, especially for specific racial class comboes.

They have existed for years and the most they amounted to was some improved spell effects or ways to disable the failed newer versions, and to upgrade your 10 polygon water elemental. I guess we can hope for some more extensive changes, but we may also just be running into WoW's own version of hero skins where the cool stuff will be only sold on the shop only (various fire colors, etc. which btw would be laughably easy to achieve anyway..). We will have to see.

Idk man I think you might be expecting a steak when they are talking about hamburgers

Right now my monk has 3 abilities with cosmetic glyphs and they are just color changes

I'm all for this!

I think with Blizz being way more open to customizations, this deserves an updated thread

---

Btw, any source for the interview? Would like to get some context on Ion's statements regarding customizations for abilities

[Biomega]

I'll believe it when I see it.

It's good they're talking about it and making promises, but talk is cheap and promises easily broken (*cough* OW2 *cough*).

We willna' be fooled again!

[Squigglyo]

The reach here is huge.

ION saying he enjoys seeing the community come up with stuff does not
in no way equal
'COSMETIC GLYPHS CONFIRMED'


just based on his quote, it would confirm absolutly nothing. It was a throwaway comment that commits to nothing at all.

I don't think I can post links, but its in a Korean interview over on WoWHead. If you copy paste the quote form the op, you will be directed to the link.

I'm well aware, having used them myself since WotLK, but since Ion specifically mentions new "community ideas" he is sure to refer to the concepts mentioned by me in the op. Fishbone06 and the others.

Well, to put it in context, if a developer enjoys a community feature, and specifically mentions listening to the community more, I think it's fair to say that they will implement said features in some way in the future

Heres the link. Recent news from Wowhead, about a day old so it was a recent interview.

[Pakheth]

I am cautiously optimistic but if it goes in the direction I hope it does then that will revolutionise how I play WoW.

no its not, its fair to say they might think about it, thats all you can get from that comment, saying its confirmed is a lie

[Cynical Asshole]

Right, so as a paladin instead of the white-yellow color theme on your attacks, it will be red. As a fire mage your spells will be blue. As priest, your spells will be blue probably instead of the white-yellow color.

Much awesome. Very hype.

Interesting, thanks for the link.
Happy that they noticed they weren't exactly catering to more solo oriented players.

[Frozenbeef]

Would love more cosmetic customisation.. never understood why they didn't do more, it's basically lots of cheap little wins, people being able to customise their character to their liking means they are more likely to play that character and sub.

They can even make more ingame content out of it like the green fire quest to make players even happier.

let's hope this means some love for inscription instead of jewelcrafting all the time

That's literally the only glyphs still existing in the game. What are you even talking about?


I certainly wouldn't be opposed to class skins, but this isn't exactly newsworthy.

[Holdodlig]

Cosmetic glyph has always and will always be the pretty obvious choice for the next big cosmetic feature they'll try to make us collect / sell us. They have shitload of monster only / oldschool effect they can just sell in high quantity. Them saying that it would make the game "harder" is a false excuse as they can always add an option to display the original effect from other players.

Read the op/read the interview to the end and you will be pleasantly surprised

Something like this would be dope. It could easily knock out a handful of classes that people request. Like Dark Ranger (Hunter), Necromancer (Demo lock), etc etc.
