All I Want from Blizzard...

-
The last few months, I've been listening to TNB in my car to/from work. One of their "Final" questions, is to ask, "What one thing would you ask for from Blizzard?"

When I started playing Warcraft, back in the day, one of the biggest perks for chosing a Warlock is the "Free" mount. Nope, I didn't need to pay some trainer and buy a mount, I earned it via an epic quest line (and a fair amount of gold). Then Blizzard, announced with BC, that we'd be allowed to FLY! Yes, fly around our world, no longer need to use the taxi system to get from one area to the next. On the tip of every warlock's (and pally's) tongue was, what will the mount look like?



Unfortunately, Blizzard never implemented one. Nope. Sounding too much like my parents, or myself now, "maybe someday" (aka never).
Sorry for the bad news, but unfortunately there are no current plans for giving class flying mounts to Paladins and Warlocks. But do not give up hope, because no-one knows what the future will bring… Maybe on some fine day in the future we will get to see Paladins and Warlocks soaring through the air on flying mounts that are only available to them :-) Source: Vaneras, Jan. 2007

If I was to get one wish from Blizzard, it would be a epic, class-specific, flying mount. To make an excellent lock mount, (IMHO) it should be:
  • Black, fierce and on fire (see dreadsteed, and felsteed)
  • Not undead (no gargoyles or skeletal)
  • Demonic, love if it was pulled from the 'nether', not Wrath
  • Like to avoid it being dragon based. been there, done that.
  • Not so big that I can't fly through doorways.
These are a few suggestions from around the blogosphere. I am not sure I am really in love with any of them.








Like one forum poster said:
We're more likely to get green fire, than a flying mount.


A warlock can brood..

    heck, actually just strapping some flamy wings onto the current mount wouldn't be so bad. Sorta like the Sparkle pony where it runs & flies.

    Just a thought...

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature deve...

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra...
