WoW Developer Interview with Morgan Day - The War Within

[@MrGM]

What did you think of the Interview? twitch.tv/MrGM

[@Bettiold]

That it was short

[@Taiylim]

Regarding the Transmog unlocks as a "bug" and going back on the feature. "This is the worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas. And, uh, I'm gonna be there when you learn that." "With this, players looking to unlock all transmog appearances would need to complete every quest with item rewards up to 8x depending on the quest, one per armor proficiency and once per faction. Completing quests multiple times for rewards goes against the pillars of the Warband system, which go as far as noting quests you have already completed and removing rewards from some." Defeats the entire purpose of Warbands. Give us the Transmog, Give us Account wide Rep. People won't stop playing the game with these features. In fact, it might encourage people to play more.

What a lovely surprise! Thanks for the interview Mr GM.

Morgan says at the end when you say “Can’t imagine you have anything planned for it” referring to the 20 year anniversary, he says “2 More things”

[@Shnozzu]

"few more"

[@anthonyzarfati3579]

@@Shnozzu sheeeeshhhhh just listened back you are correct

[@StoneLegion]

5:00 is not in the game, nor is doing it even a quest and getting all 4 specs from scratch in the game. Right now you have to do it 4 times to get all 4 types... No blizzard communication on the issue as well :(

[@WadeAllen001]

Honestly "dynamic flight" is a better name than "skyriding." I don't know why they felt the need to change it.

[@KingOfWarz]

Agreed. Skyriding name is really lame

[@AmonRoxx]

They needed a name that fit the game's universe, so an NPC could say "I will now talk to you about skyriding". Similar to using "warbands" instead of "account-wide sharing".

[@KillchainGames-xg2lg]

agreed not a fan of skyriding but who knows maybe in 12 months it will seem the norm

[@cyndrigaming]

Wow is in such a good place right now. I can only speak for myself and my enjoyment, but I am having the most fun I have had in years right now. I hope to see a BfA remix down the line as there were many cool mounts I'd love to see get a recolor or two. Imagine Bronze (or bronze farm equivalent) in Horrific Visions! I loved those so much! Maybe an even wilder take on corrupted gear?

[@JakeSezz]

Corrupted Gear for life 🤘🏻

[@XCVIII]

still waiting on those retroactive quest rewards :P cause right now that didnt happen. Doing quests also doesn't unlock all mogs

[@teej143]

Great interview and I'm excited about TWW. If the devs are reading this, i'm hoping that you explore non-combat mechanics that make use of class abilities for delves/world content. Soup/Dig/Siege/Bloom events are good, but they are all mostly clicking things on the ground, standing on the right spot, then kill some mobs (just different themes). I wish we can use typhoon, or leap of faith, or other loss of control/displacement spells and abilities to manage the mechanics of such events. Or use DoTs to keep a wheel turning, or heals to make something bigger, etc.

[@wtff]

I could listen to Morgan talk about WoW all day. I'm going to be real sad when he retires.

[@Amg799]

Awesome interview! Thank you for this. Lots of good and exciting things to look forward to!!

[@GuzanGames]

Id love to see time rifts expanded, was a great feature and could used in connection with the bronze dragonflight going forward as thats whats seemingly is being hinted with mop remix etc

[@Mistyveil550]

Fantastic job!! I"m so happy for all your success, things are looking awesome! Keep up the great work!!😊

[@ign0bilium]

Do you know if progress on deleted but restorable characters will be added to achieve progress?

[@TE-eq1dc]

Yes this was great. MOP remix put me over 1000 mounts!!! Hoping that we get at least a 600 and 700 mounts meta cheeve in WW. Morgan is awesome.

[@Kritigri]

What a delightful surprise! Great interview, thanks MrGM!

[@jiruribakachan365]

2 Months later and the collectable thing being retroactivley OR just collecting all appearences on one character seems to be not only missing in the prepatch but also on the PTR.... Love them fuckers lying constantly.

[@skeezixcodejedi]

I realy want to know how the quest log works in tWW warbands; like, it woudl be awesome to have 'one log' for the account, and as you swap between alts you just keep carrying on. My worry is that completion is account wide, but the log isn't.. so if you're doing like 10 quests on a toon, and are half way through some chains, and swap toons just for fun.. you won't have any idea where you need to go.

[@JeffSmith-nd8ws]

Good job. Always good to hear from Morgan. But does he really think many people enjoyed plunderstorm?!?

[@KingOfWarz]

Yeah, quite some pvpers enjoyed it. Personally, I’m not a pvper but the plunderlord transmog was amazing, so I grinded for it

[@IOSARBX]

MrGM, You're the best! I just had to subscribe!

[@gothnate]

Not one question about cross faction groups in the open world and queues? Thats been like a universal want from the community since CF guilds were introduced.

[@jayjays_shed2158]

It would be awesome if blizzard could be working towards making classes less complex for new and returning players, we just want to enjoy the game in an intrinsic way.

[@soldmyfochun]

There is nothing wrong with calling it sky riding. It's not an "awful" or "lame" name.

[@shannonlasell]

great interview. i like that guy

[@adamk3993]

I LOVE WOW FOREVER !!!!!! WOW IS BACK BABY WOOOOOOOOOO

[@Tamburokoy]

what? time rifts are awsome? wth

[@grennbalze]

Are you questioning if people liked time rifts? I thought they were fun and enjoyed doing them

[@wtff]

People liking different things from me? What? How?

[@Q8Bart]

Morgan Day and his evil brother Morgan Night

[@hazeland18]

Morgan stayed up all night farmin froggies 😆

[@yesteryearr]

Sky riding? 😂 Since when did they change it from Dynamic to Sky riding?

[@arsalanabbasi9323]

Day 1 of asking you to make a video about the fact that shamans need a rework but haven't got one

[@Velshin1986]

The war within classic when? 🤣

[@yesteryearr]

2045

[@steveblease]

I'm dreading the next XP. Anything that feels like underground is a big no no.

[@terry9819]

So the best thing about retail are the game modes that aren't retail... Sounds about right for the current state of the game.

[@kbredstar529]

is he saying skywriting? or skyriding? cuz id foresee skywriting going very, very, very, very, very, very (this is not copy and paste), very, VERY, badly.

[@markbrannan239]

"Sky Riding" is an awful name.

[@djbedu]

Yeah, of all of the possibilities...

[@camichaelc]

Literally nothing wrong with just calling it “dynamic flight”

[@llwonder]

Why was it changed from dynamic flight?

[@djbedu]

@@llwonder VERY good question...

[@TheGraveyarder]

well they tried to call it "dragonriding remix" before they decided on sky riding 😂

[@minoxiis3419]

Oh god your mic quality lmao

[@The_Dork_Side]

Funny how none of these interviews involve questions regarding issues players have had and what Blizzard is going to do about them. Like Blizzard's straight up lie about applying a fix for affected players that were negatively impacted by the crest exchange vendor. They did nothing and have remained silent on it.

[@Aquanios08]

Morgan Day is hot 💕 Great Interview though ❤

[@BrodyCanuck]

I will never call it sky riding...

[@NeoAmonSeraphim]

Should of asked what they plan to do to the people who got screwed out of remix because of the frog nerf..

[@OhNoTheFace]

What an unimportant thing to think he should bring up

[@maxpowers4436]

Lmao it's a for fun game mode not that serious

[@steveblease]

Should have, not should of.

[@DarkScreamGames]

nobody cares except weirdo degenerates; please remember the characters get washed before they go into retail, they will lose item level and all the special crap.

[@BoomyNation]

Skyriding is such a stupid name. 😂

[@zzmr_stretchzz8772]

he sounds and looks very familiar has he had some fuckin obnoxious takes before?

[@Yui714]

A mere shadow of the game it once was. I hope they slow it down and make every point count again.

[@anobodyproblem]

Hey guess what. The war within is gonna blow just like dragon land.

[@OhNoTheFace]

And yet here you are whining. Seems to be living rent free in your head
