Make sure to pick up the event-only quest Emissary of War in your Garrison before you head out. It rewards an Iron Fleet Treasure Chest (containing one Hellfire Citadel Heroic quality item) that you won’t want to pass up.

I still don't know. (OccupyGStreet)

If you put a gun to my head I'd say LFG with harder dungeons and no LFR. But it's a crap shoot. (OccupyGStreet)

Easyish Naxx and LK dungeons set expectations that were hard to ever undo. Maybe LFG was just a symptom at that point. (OccupyGStreet)

is the irrevocability of a feature a big part of the design decision or is it more if a hindsight is 20/20 thing?

For a live game (like LoL/WoW) you always have to think about the precedents you set. It's like being a SCOTUS judge. (OccupyGStreet)

I wasn't paying attention during the Cata difficulty outrage--would it have been possible to soldier through?

Yes. Better would have been to provide an alternative for those who didn't enjoy wiping. (OccupyGStreet)



Why do you think many players are longing for TBC days. Raiding was impossible back then..

I wouldn't call it nostalgia per se, but we remember the feeling we had when everything felt so new and we miss that feeling. (OccupyGStreet)



Game Design

Thoughts on allowing (or not) respec in single player RPGs? Respec kinda waters down character building... (1/2)

It depends if you want starting a new character to be a good or bad thing. No respec can encourage that. (OccupyGStreet)



Misc

greg i really just want you to stop answering questions about world of warcraft and focus on your new better life, forever

I try to answer questions that are applicable to game development as a whole. (OccupyGStreet)
