Honestly- with War Within- Ian has seemed to be so much lighter and happier looking. He doesn't have that constant look of dread.

[@Joe-vz1ck]

They've been coming out with W's recently and community feedback has been getting better so he definitely is seemingly happier

Didn't a bunch of his bosses leave/get canned?

@@craig3850 that's what we all think... but is it like that? we will know in due time.

[@fwam2k7]

It would be super cool if they let us use our Warband characters for follower dungeons instead of generic NPC’s. Very similar to the mercenary hero system in GW1. It doesn’t need to use their equipment, just the visual appearance would be cool.

[@TriconPOE]

That does sound cool

[@ramanmotamedi4046]

This must be in the works for the future, especially with the 4 character limit for the warband

[@aramicca435]

Excited guys..love this time when the nxt Page from wow starts 😊

[@holyfire11]

Increase the quest list capacity. When you have so many expansions and your working on multiple story lines you often have to drop entire story lines and quests and most of the time its extremely difficult to remember where to get that quest again.

[@gimilkhad8169]

Yes. This would be awesome

[@scorpinok3006]

Does the filter also affect hunters who have spider pets?

[@avenreir]

Not really excited about ANOTHER dwarf variation race, but the new expansion otherwise looks pretty sick.

[@sn00k24]

Let dwarf-lovers finally have their moment. This is only the third dwarf race meanwhile there's like 9,000 types of elves

[@TheRelicHunterMusic]

​@sn00k24 atleast those elf variations have different models. Nightborne/nelf and void elf/belf. The 3 dwarves are all the same...
