World of Warcraft Legion Q&A (blizzcon 2015)

[@Scrumshiz]

Please, Blizzard, make Jesse Cox host every Blizzcon.

[@pnutz_2]

+Scrumshiz they realised the only way to get him out of the question queue at blizzcon was to put him as the host

[@StrangeworldEU]

+capnazrael And then he asked the jaina question anyway.

[@freakjob0]

+Scrumshiz YES! Will Wheaton was painful to watch.

[@switchtwist5324]

+Scrumshiz He´s da best host in the wurld!

[@Ortegala]

+Scrumshiz I don't like him, I must admit though, he did good. Acting stupid is his thing, but here he went serious mode

[@lordmas2099]

Seeing red shit guy is just awesome for some reason lol

[@danmetrou]

+LordMas \\ Byte2099 He actualy told then in a older q & a that there is a lore mistake in the game and this guy actualy apears in the game they made a npc after him .

[@museluvr]

+Chill Yep .. he stands by the King of Ironforge .. in a red shirt. lol Lucky bugger!

[@flyingspaghettimonster4]

+LordMas \\ Byte2099 That red shit guy must be diseased.

[@whiskeyjack02]

"Is Jaina a dreadlord?" Oh, Jesse!

[@SuddenReal]

+Robert Marcu They should have said "no spoilers"

[@Jbayz]

Seen a lore video or two on it

[@alexgaeckle1540]

+Robert Marcu I must have missed it in the video...

[@alexgaeckle1540]

+Robert Marcu Oh nvm I saw it.

[@flyingspaghettimonster4]

+Robert Marcu 100th like.

[@JesusChrist-gj8ck]

When will people learn that no one gives a shit what their name is or what guild they're from.

[@Masilya111]

+Jesus Christ Superstar Yeah. Waste of time.

[@phanaticz]

+Jesus Christ Superstar I cringe when I hear them bring up realms/guild names/character names.

[@JesusChrist-gj8ck]

PHNTCZ Same.

[@Perkele_Itse]

+Jesus Christ Superstar It's such a cringeworthy moment when everybody's telling how proud they are being this and that, here and there :D Like the "Proud orc shaman!" - guy :D Nobody gives a shit, there's no credit for you, stfu and ask.

[@Shapookya]

+Misan Sathanas It always reminds me of The Big Bang Theory with Sheldor :)

[@AutumnPanda]

'If you were the Burning Legion and wanted to cause as much damage to players as possible, would you really start with the Exodar' Ohhh Ion xD

[@kakisperec23]

No new battlegrounds, PvP department smoking weed for another 2 years....

[@Spectr0m]

Jesse Cox o3o The Gnomes will rise up, and bite off all your shines for your sins!

[@poyo9284]

Fuck gnomes. The worgens will eat them

[@Spectr0m]

***** Yep

[@bauscheusse]

+Wyatt Mellott Gnomes are gonna get to be hunter in Legion, so they'll just tame wolves to bite anywhere higher

[@GrumpoDaggles]

***** Thanks

[@kegs666]

Jay Wilson still has a job despite fucking up diablo....k

[@How2walkthroughsAB]

+Daryl Dixon Diablo 3 sold good because of the brand name.

[@kegs666]

Daryl Dixon No. People bought D3 because of D2 (i.e., because of "that loser").

[@TiseParody]

+Kegs Exactly what came to my head. Now he's on the WoW team FUCK.

[@luistatis1]

+Daryl Dixon I think he did a good job at class designing, which by the looks of it, he is working on that for this expansion.

[@lolzor2032]

+Kegs probably just has too many friends in Blizzard

[@rotellam]

"Your garrison is very much staying in Draenor and you're going to leave it behind when you move on" and people start cheering haha.

[@dtcoas]

Man! I wish the Q &A panel could have been longer. Thank you very much for the upload.

[@phanaticz]

Am I the only one who thought that the reforge system and gems were really good?

[@seangannon6005]

yes

[@Choko4343]

+PHNTCZ They totally are!

[@ZomfgitsNull]

+PHNTCZ No.

[@Shapookya]

+PHNTCZ without hit and expertise caps and haste softcaps, reforge would just be very linear. You would always just reforge the worst stat for your build into the same best stat. That's boring and needlessly prohibits from using just dropped items, because you have to reforge them first. All in all, it's just a useless feature. It tricks you in thinking that you have more choices with your gear, but in reality, you don't.

[@phanaticz]

Shapookya Which is best for min-maxing. I want to haste and hit-cap. It's important for my class. Sucks that they removed it.

[@Pronkers]

You think you do, but you don't.

[@DivenireWoW]

+Pronkers Stopped my sub the same time i saw that.

[@pinopijpkonijn5363]

+Pronkers Yeah man that guy needs to get bitch slapped and fired, what a fucktwat ...

[@freakjob0]

Watching this again in April 2016. So many smart ass answers and empty promises.

[@acetown2263]

Don't survive?? classic Runescape, classic everquest, everquest 2, all still up and running as legacy/progression servers.

[@agentdelta569]

"everytime something dies we find a way to bring it back" i highly doubt this but hey do this with nostalrius

[@100Predator]

Was it just me, or was some of the devs kinda of douchy with their comments/answers :/

[@TheLoreGeek]

+Björn J I thought they were fun about it. :)

[@vteccomplex]

+Björn J I agree with TheLoreGeek, I think they were just trying to have fun. It wasn't "douchey" as much as it was just be a smart ass, which is actually something I've seen them do every Q&A, It's merely just to have fun.

[@robbymystic3819]

"We're working on some kinks there" is there entire approach to wow lately xD

[@Demonicon]

Looks like they've literally kept Jay Wilson in hiding since getting the boot from D3

[@mishaalhammamasaad1467]

asmongold for host 2016

[@sopranophantomista]

It's interesting watching this, now, with 7.3 out, it's neat to hear their plans and how much of it actually came to light. They've kept pretty close to what they talk about in this one.

[@xennariel4414]

Jesse! =D I am so happily surprised that he was the host for the Q&A. I hadn't heard about that. Awesome. I hope he hosts stuff at Blizzcon every year from now on.

[@terraint3697]

World of Warcraft was an amazing game! back in 2007.

[@JacobSimonsen]

RIP Nostalrius No Fun Allowed.

[@kepe7323]

+Olcay RIP NOSTALRIUS

[@waffelbart]

+Hugh Bollz 37:15 this has u piece of garbage

[@kepe7323]

R I P N O S T A L R I U S

[@darkdowngrade]

+Olcay 37:15 ?

[@carmend1665]

I sincerely hope none of you man children are older than 11. Who on Earth would demand a state of the game that excludes 90% of the currently available content. "You don't get it" "You're ignorant" "You're racist" "You're homophobic" Yeah, right, fuck off, you people are completely brain dead, all you're doing is acting from emotions that men don't have. I played Warlock back in vanilla when I could 1 vs 5 players and it doesn't cross my mind to expect blizzard to roll back their game. What type of fan expects the game to support two separate versions, and then demonize the developers when they're forced to stand up for the best interest of the game. This company has listened to every queefing noise that comes out of your stomach ripples when you walk and they've created the absolute worst fan base.

[@szuwen007]

Where can i find the hearthstone Q&A. It was on KZbin but i can't find it anymore.

[@TheOvieShow]

They say they can't fix and maintain Legacy servers. Let the Nostalrius team do it. they offered to do it for free.

[@Queltomen]

Not the same thing doing an old server than intergrating it to what exists idiot. l2 code

[@TheOvieShow]

Ferni First of all it's Integrating* Second, You call me an idiot for no reason. If I don't understand that much about how this stuff works that doesn't make me an idiot. Third, what do you mean integrating to what exists? That's not what i'm saying, all they have to do is create official Blizz servers that will have Nostalrius' game files on it.

[@Gathalok]

Ferni, stfu shitlord

[@wailrimouch4973]

Subraces: not yet Multiple Taping: Acheived! Multiple Guilds: not yet Finished unresolved Cataclysm storylines: partially achieved Trispec: acheived ! Kharazan checkers event: They actually acheived that! Class accessories: kinda acheived

[@jlantican85]

Question: What can i do get both the online pre-purchase perks and also get the box w/ out buying both? From what i was told, buy the online now... once i get the box, i get refunded the online purchase i made... is that true?

[@samljer]

43:00 So users who only do BGz are going to get fucked over for any pvp gear?

[@MrMbc77]

RBGs are Rated Battlegrounds. He said you will get heated based on which is higher your RBG or Arena rating.

[@MrMbc77]

+Miister Cloud Gear* not heated I'm on mobile and can't edit. Don't know how I did that...

[@warcraft7343]

+samljer That's a great question.

[@damnitfeelsgoodtobeagangst3831]

+Miister Cloud Some of us don't do RBGs. Personally I like doing normal BGs and then Arenas once I'm fully Honor geared, but this makes it sound like that's not a possibility.

[@TuberoseKisser]

+Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta. same, I do regular bgs and will occasionally do arena but rbgs just make me stress over ratings.

[@WillyTung]

Does it annoy anybody when people do introductions to what class or server they play?

[@TheElleboragames]

How will the No Spec effect the ironman and bloodthirsty challenges?

[@MrMousiee]

I really hate the way they've pretty much destroyed all community within this game now, I thought Legion would be different but allowing the already empty world to have its NPC's attacked by 4-5 people and everyone shares credit is a completely dumb idea. I loved in Vanilla/TBC where you actually had to speak to people you came across and invite them to your party in order to get your quests done efficiently. It really made the game feel like an MMO, a feeling which is now lost in translation.

[@xxJOHNLIKESPIExx]

it's totally the opposite, before u would get a invite to a group whilst you kill 2 mobs than instantly leave, whilst I agree I doubt it get loads of people talking to each other, its not gonna negatively effect the community, theres pretty much no reason it would.

[@Anon-fd8ui]

It HAS negatively effected the community. It's not a matter of time, for it has already passed, and a mass exodus from the game followed the extended ruination of any sense of community the game had pre-cataclysm/late Wrath. You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. www.statista.com/statistics/276601/number-of-world-of-warcraft-subscribers-by-quarter/

[@Nessfromonett]

thanks for the upload man, you da real MVP

[@Ebodrac]

Nobbel for host 2016

[@everybodylieshm]

Plz no.

[@GmoneyMozart]

Varian's death was written all over their faces at 40:20

[@NoName1462]

+Gmoney Mozart Varian kinda already died in the cinematic. Varian that came out of the water was Lo'gosh, his other personality. I doubt they'd kill him now after the cinematic, maybe few years from now but not Legion. Thrall is more likely to die in Legion.

[@GmoneyMozart]

NoName1462 interesting plot twist!

[@elnatho3780]

+NoName1462 my god I hope thrall dies in legion

[@Hoztyle619]

+Gmoney Mozart I hope that's how shamans get the Doomhammer

[@kabrozkabroz]

+NoName1462 No way. That Lo'gosh and Varian shit is done, he's already come to terms with both sides of himself. He recognized that he must be patient and must also be willing to fight. I at least expect to see more fighting out of him this expansion rather than standing in front of a chair and giving orders

[@m0k143]

37:16 - 37:31 "When other MMO's have tried that, they dont actually tend to survive for very long" **shuts down a Vanilla private server with 800 000 registered accounts, 150 000 active players, and ~13 000 people online every day at peak hours** :/ For Runescape and Everquest it worked perfectly, i think more people enjoy the older version of that game than the newer one.

[@zauxst]

I agere with you. But at this time rune quest doesn't have the same interest as it had. So it's safe to say it died.

[@Praetoras]

+Mikki Mekk How can you even compare those, they aren't even close to the same level of scale...

[@snaffu1]

+Trevor O A bit of devil's advocate here but... No other MMO can ever compare to what WoW was/is/will be. What's the closest an MMO has come to it in any terms, be it success, longevity or subs? Blizzard is definitely in a unique position, both good and bad. I, for one, support the idea of at least trying them out. They can't predict what will happen, but they can definitely place a comfortable bet on their cash flow, their reputation, their huge fanbase and established product, as well as the talent they have on the roster there at HQ. If anyone can get it done, Blizzard can, and it doesn't take as much time or effort as it once used to.

[@borissuslov7336]

Chris Metzen is missing from the q&a, and I don't like it! But he was on the Overwatch q&a, which tells me he doesn't care anymore about the Warcraft world that much...

[@khalduras784]

He still writes the story but at the time,overwatch is still quite brand new and he really wants to hype it up i guess.Besides,he was working on project titan aswell but now that its overwatch,he wants to share his ambitions for that franchise.

[@Jbayz]

I heard he wasn't doing shit for wow now.

[@khalduras784]

Jeff Bays he writes the story.

[@Jbayz]

Nazmi Ahmad I heard he is now no longer involved in the story for wow and has moved totally to overwatch

[@Jbayz]

Nazmi Ahmad and if you look him up, it honestly doesn't look like he's done much story development in quite a long time for them. Just occasionally voice acting.

[@lrale_9962]

You think you do, but you don't

[@J0hnux]

Alex Afriasabi looks likely the same as Simon Cowell in X - Factor and in American's Got Talent.

[@ThallanarRabidtooth]

+Johnnitassium That's what I thought! They act much the same way, too.

[@Kamikazibroadcast]

Does it seem like they are listening to there fans? if you would please let me know what you think, i'd appreciate it..

[@YologamerY13]

what is powering dalaran in legion

[@ThallanarRabidtooth]

Alex Afrasiabi heavily reminds me of Simon Cowel... He just has that... smug "I'm better than you" look on his face all the time... He answers the same kinda way, too...

[@xStealthMGO2k10]

Bolvar will be visible to death knights who go to frozen throne probably

[@hombdest716]

Ian the savior! They'd be so clueless without him out there.

[@rampage3337]

if demon hunters can speek demonic that means that in aq 20 last boss you can talk to demon hunters while under the slow cast debuff

[@Aeros589]

Can someone do the math to how many more questions that could have been asked if no one introduced themselves?

[@MrZomg17]

how about launch expansions when the expansion is perfected and ready to be properly launched not rush it.

[@freddelarsson4434]

I really hope that they won't keep making an expansion every year... When WoW was at it's best in WOTLK it was absolutely great to be able to follow smaller events during a 2 year period until Icecrown Citadel was released and killing the end game boss. Reason being really simple because of exiting new events making the conflict between Azeroth and Arthas peak at max. When ICC was released you ware just so exited to be able to face him.

[@FreakyGremlinDK]

Í'm dissapointed i didn't see Nobbel there

[@jaratt85]

I wish I could save this because of Jesse... weird how you can be proud of someone you've never met..

[@rimonshamon8607]

whos is the final boss of this legion expansion?

[@birb7866]

i thought nobbel was going to ask a question :/

[@museluvr]

There was a question asked as to why Winston was so sensitive to the glasses he wears in Overwatch. After seeing a snippet of a human scientist working with him as a young chimp, and he wore glasses.. I'm thinking they belonged to the human who raised Winston. Yes?

[@promethul793]

Bring fucking ammo back!

[@shivasthong4924]

I miss the weapon skills myself

[@thenamejenzz]

holinka wasnt even there i rly wanted to hear more pvp questions...

[@Oliver-ww4eh]

Why HotS music for a WoW Q&A? lol

[@Crusadermds]

Thanks man, you da real MVP

[@Palefish27]

I feel like Ion is the only truly competent guy and the brain behind everything. Him and the art director guy

[@Konuvis]

Thanks for the upload!

[@HennibsXD]

Why couldn't Blizzard just stay awesome :(

[@supergreeneggsnham]

HAHAHAHA, that comment about not attacking the Exodar was so bloody cheeky!

[@Gundams33d00]

the Cheers after he said Garrisons werent coming with us. XD The look he gave was like "Ye We Fucked Up. Fuck You"

[@domydishes]

yes,spot on! the reason i play alts is so that i can grind hours and hours for the same rep i spendt hours getting on my main for a sense of progression!

[@MrZomg17]

Legion needs Class specific Professions that fit and are birthed from Class specific abilities like Rogues have talents being that they are Rogues invent Professions that adhere and surround the characteristics of each Class.

[@Mike_79]

Jay Wilson , Lead game designer wow ? O.o We are double fucked :p

[@kemp707]

whoever the guy was who answered red-shirt guys question completely put me off. way to start off the Q&A session! felt like i was watching a reenactment of Meet the Robinsons --- "I GOT THIS! BLAH BLAH BLAH... what i just said had nothing to do with your question but prepare to be amazed! It will BLOW YOUR MIND!"

[@Ahw1231]

PvP gear quality based on RBG or arena. Forever blues for me it is.

[@oldhunternightmare5281]

6:29 maybe when did get THIER Frost Mourne shards?

[@oldhunternightmare5281]

I hope hes good tho..

[@martinagreco7360]

thx for the upload man!

[@jonasoberg5270]

Has anyone ever asked if warlocks i going to be able to summon flying mounts? That would be awesome!

[@TsarDragunov]

19:20 so I have to buy both a digital regular copy and a physical collectors copy to get the early access stuff? and they will reimburse me?

[@Konuvis]

+Varangian Nikolai That's how I understood it.

[@albinasp7426]

+Varangian Nikolai no, you just have to pre-order the collector's edition online,

[@albinasp7426]

+Varangian Nikolai that answer was just if you want both the physical copy of the collectors edition and the digital for pre access

[@JudithTimmermans]

+Varangian Nikolai this was the customers service answer i got last expansion: " We can manually add that key onto your account now, please write back to us and include the CD key for the Collector's Edition in a text file attach to the ticket. I'm afraid we can't refund the standard key as Battle.net Balance, but we can generate a new key for you which you can then pass on to someone else."

[@Konuvis]

+Judith Timmermans If that's the case I'll just wait for the physical.

[@stephencook8294]

Someone explain to me what V-O actually is please.

[@TheWestham4]

+Stephen Cook Voice Over / Voice Acting i believe.

[@jullemanden]

Why am i watching this? I haven't even played this game in 4 years...

[@TheBeautifulboyz]

Because we grew up on it

[@GloriousZote]

"maybe" on the archimonde thing Hope they're considering to retcon that

[@writer2902]

did anyone ask if reforge come back in legion? i hope it does

[@hotudk]

sadly i watched this to see noble but he never came :(

[@MegaLabano]

They probably reserved a spot first in the line for Red Shirt guy.

[@simongosimon]

i love the word "catch-up mechanics", because it sounds like ketchup mechanics

[@MrZomg17]

make Illiden more a Hero than a villain that we discover after confronting him.

[@lothrazar]

The Cox rocks it as usual

[@SyntheticFrost]

I was at this panel. I was there for Jesse Cox.

[@Mjuch.roadster]

thanks for the upload!

[@muhammadgheith2492]

I feel like the decision for Jesse to host was a reaction to his complaints on the toxicity of their Esports scene. I would not be surprised if at some point, Blizzard outright adds Jesse to their staff for something. He might reject being a fulltime employee due to his successful youtube Career, but even a little more than usual is great.

[@nelson7853]

1 year no content or patch of MoP and they cant come up with the animations.

[@tetsuqueen8769]

YOU THINK YOU DO, BUT YOU DON'T

[@parallax-821]

+Tetsu Queen What does this mean?

[@tetsuqueen8769]

Someone asked if Blizzard would do a progression server for old wow (Vanilla / Tbc / wotlk and so on) and the guy said "You don't want that. You think you do, but you don't." And then the community proved them wrong with Nostalrius. So everyone goes around saying "You think you do, but you don't" these days cuz of that

[@greylaw2020]

+Tetsu Queen Rubbish. People wanted a free illegal server because they're filthy pirates :p Nostralious just made the mistake of starting to charge for it.

[@tetsuqueen8769]

1. They never charged for anything, they linked a donation to the website that pays for their hosting and it was optional. 2. No, people played it cuz of vanilla, get your facts straight before you come with baseless assumptions you fat pig.

[@tetsuqueen8769]

Get rekt nerd.

[@Lupinemancer87]

That's a lot of lead game designers! :D

[@kl0ness]

I want dungeon master title.

[@cortexion4128]

I can't wait to find out how many things they won't follow through on.

[@Hydrolysate]

The legion shirts look like neon green phalluses for a reason guys.

[@Goraka91]

''The way you view Warcraft will change'' In a good or BAD way exactly?

[@Ayayron_e3]

+Goraka91 I highly doubt they'd want us to view it as Good.

[@_aelfweard]

+aaron brooks If they're undead, I'm just gonna laugh.

[@nilerino6098]

"Will there be any new Battlegrounds in Legion?", "Nope". STOP THE TRAIN, I WANT OFF.

[@valdos1297]

How can people say "No!" to reforging?!

[@lPsychoMax]

Looking at legions content (leaked) and from what I can see from here and pre-patch; legion feels bigger than a single expansion. But I wouldn't put it past blizzard that, when both the alliance and horde fail (which is likely since this IS the burning legion) the scourge will come at the last second to help out. In fact the death knights helped free the world from the lich king; so bovar kinda owes us :p

[@vodyannoi]

haha I choked on my cereal when he said 'checkers event"

[@FozzY-ii9wd]

whats the amount of dedotated wam tho?

[@Meusberg]

Lol that made me lol so hard.

[@AtomicMonkeybutt]

omg, that girl on 21:40 gave me a massive cringe breakdown when she started saying ''yay''...

[@tdn1991]

These guys are awesomely funny

[@auszarchaos0239]

The Opening of the Tomb= next AQ event?

[@axel-fu9hx]

oooOooOoohhhh

[@Gurubu]

Jay Wilson looks weathered. Hell hath no fury like a gamer scorned :P

[@razt3757]

I miss Metzen. He's missing from the wow panels :(

[@MrStutteringgames]

Ion needs to sit on his hands next blizzcon,
