Warband Character Screen Updates in Patch 11.1: Grouping, Custom Camps & More!

[@MrGM]

What do you think of this update? twitch.tv/MrGM

[@grimloc5418]

i want frostfire ridge from wod as a campsite

[@eyeofthasky]

please bring to blizzard that they finally have to give dracthy what worgen already have for along time: if u are in the gear preview and switch to7from ur visage form, update the gear preview window! for dracthyr u have to close it and ctrl click the item again after changng form to be able to see how it looks on the other form... for worgens it changes dynamically, its crazy that they didnt implement this from the beginning...

[@American_Mike]

Is there a default way to order camps by server?

[@SirMouse003]

I like the update but I truly wish that if you only showed 3 characters it would balance them a bit better around the campfire, I only play 3 active right now and it feels like there is a "hole" in the line .. maybe the solution is to make it feel less "line-y" ? dunno

[@D4Mathur]

I wish they would let my worgen and Dracthyr choose between what form sits on the warband. The whole point of Dracthyr's visage form was to make it easier for the other races. So when they are chilling at a campsite, let them be in their visage!!

[@carolinanavarrogarrido1925]

that would be nice for druids too! being able to stay there in cat/bear/moonkin form and shamans for their wolf form

[@artcanbelove7873]

I noticed that too.

[@dalthewarrior6066]

this is an awesome change but im still waiting for a feature to hide all characters not on selected server

[@fredecarlslund5407]

I mean, you could just sort all the characters on your realm into groups

[@etherealbeluga5241]

@@fredecarlslund5407 Right? This is as organized as you can get.

@@etherealbeluga5241 I am just waiting for comment where someone will say that they canceled sub over warband organization haha

[@Mysterious-Fox-01]

Wat for you can just set the charackters apart that you dont want to play a feature to hide is kinda wasted time name that list just i dont want to play this characker

[@bradstock7274]

@@Akon998 sadly you know somebody did

[@Nick-4K]

I think they should have backgrounds infront of storm wind and orgrimmar. So I can have my mains of both factions chilling infront of their bases.

[@vernemeton]

or even more capital themed ones

[@Shiirow]

nothing exist before the dragon isles not even stormwind and orgrimmar

[@getawaydreamer2724]

Gross, No way.

[@ShadowKingRecks]

The multiple camps is sick, I can have mains then back up camps and it will help keep the main screen less cluttered.

[@leighbomaya]

Really nice Dan, thanks for showing it.

[@Mr-Van-Dam]

race specific camps 🤔

[@T2LQ1]

😂

[@rawcoustic1718]

Lmao

[@EmileVinesh]

The Warband system has been a welcome edition and I love how they're improving on it! Imagine a whole tab for all your favorite characters, your bank characters, professions etc.

[@Joe-bs6hd]

Let worgens be able to show their human form when logged off in human form, same for dracthyrs visage. Also let 5 characters show instead of four so it can resemble a full group.

[@courtjezter4]

Thanks for the video as always! Finally be able to put four alliance in one camp and four horde in another, very happy about this. The backgrounds don't mean as much to me, but I do hope we get some classic scenes down the road and now just current story camps.

[@geminisoulchaser6475]

Let.Small.Characters.Sit.On.A.Box.Like.At.Blizzcon.THX.Blizz.

[@DavidBourne-bu3xh]

As always, your content update is clear and concise. This is an interesting update, and I had a good chuckle when you mentioned that there will 'probably' be campsites available in the store (how true). This seems to be a step in the right direction, it will be interesting to see how they continue to evolve this other than additional campsite. In the future, I'd like to see banners in the campsite for the current standing of your warband in the current season, for example, a banner that activates when you complete the Delvers Journey for the season, another banner that activates when you kill the end boss for the current raid (and there could be different colored banners for lfr, normal, etc), pvp banner based on rank (again, colors/symbols for rank) and the same for mythic plus .... so your warbands current standing is somewhat showed off on the login screen.

[@Factually-Corrected]

So strange they only allow 4 characters to be shown, at least give us 5 for a full party!

[@Scuuurbs]

Nah, retune party content to be 4-man groups!

[@DavidBourne-bu3xh]

@@Scuuurbs Then DPS will have to wait even longer for a tank/healer.

[@Plundermot]

Or leave it at 4, and give us the option of selecting a "camp" to join us in follower dungeons.

[@Robin...222]

​@@DavidBourne-bu3xh they should make group content 6 man 1 extra dps😁

[@Scuuurbs]

@@DavidBourne-bu3xh make every class have a tank and/or heal spec. Boom.

[@stefanpervoost8984]

I would like some different poses or positions on the screen. It is a major upgrade, but i feels a little static still. It would also be very cool if we could get a few more characters on a single camp (unlock an upgrade to 6 or even 8 slots with an achievement or quest)

[@joshuasinclair4463]

Yup! Like having your Rogue standing legs and arms crossed against a wall flipping a Dagger in the air just like that one female NPC does in the Fissure of Dornogol.

[@TheDeadAreLiving]

I too would also like it if they added more chars per camp. Hopefully in the future this will become a feature of the camps.

[@ohnoezitsjoez]

WOW I didnt realize the part about new camps, thats cool for organizing alts. This is the kind of foundation I can't wait to see them build on. I personally hope for more dynamic backgrounds, people (alts?) walking around or working, just something more interesting than minor ambience such as an occasional butterfly.

[@TheDumplingOrc]

Would love an icon to show for personal and guild crafting orders on the character select screen (like we have for mail). I don’t always log my crafters automatically every day so good to know if someone needs something!

[@zenwilds2911]

Right now I can't even see mail icon unless I've selected that server. Work order notifications would be amazing. But they would need a fix for things not showing for characters on other servers.

[@michaelgreen9237]

Back in Everquest 2 they had multiple CS backgrounds per expansion, so I'm excited to see many in-game areas show up as character scenes. My guild had the giant treehouse from the jungle expansion as our guildhall, so I had a massive jungle treehouse as the background for my characters for a few years.

[@Loremastrful]

What I want on my image pack? Grizzly Hills, WotLK Suramar City (rooftop patio), Legion Vash'jir, (Throne of Tides), Cata Vulperean Camp, BfA Fallhaven, Drustavar, BfA Stormheim (Fjord overlook), Legion Bastion clubhouse, Shadowlands

[@godlygamer911]

I was with you until shadowlands😂

[@there_is_nothing_here]

That's gonna be awesome. I really love this idea of Sorting all your characters out.

[@0megacron]

It's definitely a cool feature to add. Hopefully we'll get other campgrounds from older expansions & continents. A frozen Northrend one, a rebel camp in front of Zul'Gurub, a camp on the Path of Glory with the Steps of Destiny and the Dark Portal behind us - that sort of thing!

[@Elysium.Dreams]

That is a fantastic addition, we knew different backgrounds were coming, but having multiple campsites is awesome... I'm having to drag whomever I happen to be playing alot into my favorites over scrolling the list, so this way I'll be able to just browse between two or three campsites to select my character, bravo.

[@LemurFrenzy212]

Multiple camps/warbands was how I thought it was going to be when it was first announced as a feature so I already sorted everyone into little groups of 4 that I thought would get along lol glad I'll finally be able to do that!

[@Journeying.]

Have a great day everyone!

[@keblin86]

WOOP Multiple camps is awesome. I can finally sort my characters per realm.

[@lisaleone2296]

I personally would like the camp size to be increased to 6 characters, but I like that we can now set up different camps and group our characters. There are a lot of possibilities for organizing. Healers versus tanks, bankers, lowbies that you want to level, PVP'ers, et cetera.

[@Andreas01]

This is neat. They should also add options to make characters sit in a chair, lean on something, spesific pose etc.

[@PrimetimeD]

This looks very cool. I'm an alto-holic and sometimes have a hard time finding my toons. If I can create new campsites with titles and sort them, it should be much easier. Plus there's the opportunity to do themed ones.

[@Qprah]

Would love to see 5 character campsites in the future. Would also like Dracthyr and Worgen to be able to pick their form at the campsite. Possibly even the choice to have individual characters hold selected animation poses rather than having them change randomly each time you swap to that campsite, including poses, emotes, animations and effects unique to each race, class, spec and hero talent each character is.

[@themozARTgroupie]

i am literally so happy they added multiple camps 😭😭😭😭 i have more than 50 alts at any given time and that's gonna be a GODSEND

[@Wrexxxx]

Wish all toons were in the back sparring, riding mounts, practicing professions etc.

[@WillTheeTaurus]

Transmog so you can dress up your characters while setting up the camps

[@CEOdawg]

I really do like this, but I have one nitpick. I wish that they could expand the campsite to five characters instead of four. I am an alt army guy, but it would be nice if I could break it down in groups of five.

[@Trevan2412]

Having more camps to sort characters is everything I wanted for this feature, it's amazing

[@Cyanoplax]

Honestly Blizzard could outsource this campground option to wow players with a share and favorite selection process. Think SELFIE camera quest. We should have the option to customize our own without Blizzard approval.

[@MADMAXWORLD.TV.]

I would like to see a Kyrian themed background, an Iron-Horde themed background and a Rogue themed background.

[@Eliteqtlol]

Great update to warband, I hope down the road well get a lot more campsites and maybe even Warband levels would be cool.

[@SeventhSwell]

Multiple camps! Called it. It's nice to be right about something for a change.

[@kasperkenthpetersen4528]

Love the new Grouping, Custom Camps. It´s a great update. Now I can have a goblin, Elf, Human camp etc.

[@shadowrodney]

Being pretty much an Alt-o-holic, I really love the grouping thing.

[@alexh8983]

I'm very excited about this.

[@Korvinusz03]

yooo, this is awesome :)) they really went all out with this feature xD now if we could have screens for 5 chars, that'd be even better :o3

[@BoltHardcheese]

I just want a tavern background where my toons can enjoy a stout together.

[@MatthewDyer-yn6rk]

There should be a camp for each zone in the latest expansions, then whichever you log off in is your campsite. Unless you pick a custom one.

[@TyrannosavageRekt]

Multiple camps is very cool. I have several characters who are connected, or have similar themes that I'd love to see share a stage. Still wish you could have five characters like a dungeon group though. I can't see my opinion on that changing.

[@KnightlyIRL]

YESSSS IT LOOKS SO GOOD

[@bluewolvesstudios2822]

Hopefully we get more warband screens. (Like Icecrown Citadal, Grizzly Hills, Azuna, HighMountain, etc.)

[@SocoWow]

This is a fantastic update!

[@mitrooper]

They should make class/race specific backgrounds in the future.

[@Liofa73]

It’s good that people enjoy the warband select screen, personally I don’t use it. I just take all of my characters out of favourites and minimise it. Prefer it old school. Seems to load quicker too.

[@Alex876]

finally they listened to what i wanted at start

[@TheDKdoublekill]

I'm hoping we get Inns as an option or even cities

[@ayasemisaki8309]

Love these changes. And i hope we get older zones/expancions soon. My Pandaria farmers needs their proper background. Same with my Orc and Dwarf family❤

[@Xathion]

I love the new warband stuff, but I can't help but think it should've been stuff that was there from the start. I feel like not having different backgrounds, or being able to make multiple groups, or hell even the being able to search by realm that was added in anniversary patch was a huge oversight and made it feel half baked. Hopefully it continues to get fleshed out

[@mattlatham5670]

I have 13 max level characters but this will help me with my goal of having 20! So fun !

[@Irisishunter]

Aesthetic irrelevance, how do I have different tabs for which server the character is on?Instead of having them all lumped together?

[@jaklg7905]

I love this so much.

[@julian.galenziok]

loving it. but im still waiting for glad mounts for every bracket!

[@WeissB94]

Amazing updates! the only thing im iffy on is the idea of a background being tied to a season does that mean we are unable to get that background if we missed the season? I feel like there is way to much exclusive content i want to be able to grind and unlock at my own pace. Other than that i am very happy we are getting the ability to make more camps that just helps organize my alts.

[@LaurelPapworth]

I just need a “hide all chars not on this realm” button. Kinda like how it used to be before it was “improved”.

[@MyraAmherst2018]

i wish we couldve gotten a different place other than the plains bc the background we have now is somewhere in the azure span

[@dragovianknight]

I'm waiting for racial backgrounds so my Pandaren can all be lounging around Pandaria, but these updates are honestly the most exciting part of 11.1 for me.

[@Astrowla]

Very cool. Nice QOL update. Would add more backgrounds immediately. Make the racial ones free.

[@GioFan201051]

That's awesome!

[@rodrigonagamine4499]

They shold have added at least 3 per continent, ex: 3 from Northrend, 3 from Outland etc

[@Hatsjekideee]

While I do love the campsites and these new options, I rarely get to see them because I always just load up my char when the character select screen is still loading the visuals...

[@cujoedaman]

Of course they'd make it tied to a thousand different achievements. Can't just have something fun, gotta make it a grind. And only a few new choices? They're gonna take as long to make new campsites as it did to get heritage armor to the core races.

[@Royceman1995]

I think the devs said you can create up to 20 groups I think.

[@skeezixcodejedi]

Can't believe how excited I am for a feature that has nothing to do with the actual gameplay :)

[@gibber1944]

It would have been way better to have all of your toons hanging out together in your Garrison. You could just move the cursor around and 'take over' one of your toons to start playing.

[@Obliviell]

Groundbreaking changes, this will definitely change the game

[@Henrikpop]

I'd love an option to return to the classic one with single characters, especially with single servers selected. I tried doing it by creating four level 1 characters and putting them in the camp and closing the tab but after every login the camp-tab auto opens

[@fuzzypockets]

We absolutely need an option to disable the weapon/combat animations of the character that is currently selected! Or let me un-select a character. Because as it is, I cannot use this feature without having one character get up and draw their weapons, as if a battle was imminent. I just want my guys to chill at the campfire

[@Giliver]

They ahould let us add more characters to these camps because 4 aint much. Also i know this is off topic but i REALLY hope the housing system has your alts walking around doing stuff like the GW2 housing has.

[@RhondaW64]

a sort feature would be nice

[@cristobalarias5629]

I would like them to fix how certain weapons disappear from our characters hands

[@Mysbananen]

They better let us start collecting these backgrounds like the music player back in WOD.. i want it to be a grizzly hills background.. or a uldum one.. etc

[@GoncasCrazy]

Can you drag characters between the camps? (as way to organize more than 4 at a time)

[@EdwinRucci]

I like this! 👍🏼

[@rd9102]

I want larger campsites, big enough for 10 characters would seem nice to me. I mean i have 60 characters and more to come.

[@Yui714]

Okay but did they fix Warband character select screen UI scaling so it doesn't take up half of a 65" display? It shares in-game scaling for some reason even though its a select screen. Needs a separate UI scaling option.

[@Darth_Conq]

I love it! :D

[@korkronwarlord]

If they now went with this, why not add some classic backgrounds first?

[@wrathofskoll]

I'm waiting for the update that allows us to have houses, like most mmos.

[@Ndw960]

Is there a limit on how many camp groups you can make? Or can I make 15 groups for all my 60 characters on my account?

[@Archon762]

They need Alliance and Horde camps next

[@pilotmorgan8669]

So... next xpac is player housing. How many items will be on the blizzard store after that???

[@Roamingfirebat]

I want one for Elyenn forest and dun morogh!

[@Vincenzzo111]

Im still waiting on new character customizations

[@jeremyrivera660]

Lmao an animated background, wow much excite geez blizzard

[@patratanapol8097]

it's great but I wish we can put in characters more than 4 characters. I have 9 alts which mean I will have one left over.

[@Hoplite7G]

Shaman and hunter tanks confirmed!! Lol

[@JumpscareRodent]

I don’t understand why we can’t get individual character backgrounds

[@bumperxx1]

I cant wait to buy the new backgrounds from the wow SHOP for only $9.99 each

[@endym1on]

race specific camps? i heard this didn't do well last time they tried it

[@CUXOB2]

I am still confused who those 4 chars on screen are supposed to be. We have 4+ months of evidence now that warband is not 4 characters but accountwide.

[@Factually-Corrected]

It is account wide but some people have 50+ characters so I can see why they don’t have every character on the camp, 4 is a weird number though we should get at least 5 for a party

[@Moonwired]

New category immediately “unleveled characters that have currently no use”. Edit: there’s a bloody 4 character max on it, isn’t there.. **groans in stupidity**.

[@Achtland44]

I hope for some 20$ blizzard store options

[@jessicahampton4581]

❤❤❤❤ that's sweet🎉🎉

[@neekoohkumar4506]

They need to fix the resolution for this screen. As of right now, your in game resolution is what dictates your loading screen resolution. Mine is set to zoom and that means that the side bar with my player roster is way too big and can't be resized. The load in screen should have it's own resolution OR the roster menu should be independently saleable. For such a high priced game, we get such a low quality feature.

[@Whistopher96]

love it
