BlizzCon Countdown: 5 days to BlizzCon

by Elizabeth Harper Jul 30th 2007 at 9:16AM

We've got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then, on the 5th day, we have BlizzCon! And over at WoW Insider HQ we're busying ourselves with preparations. Laptops? Check! Video cameras? Check! Nintendo DS to play with while waiting in line for the demo stations? Check! Awesome murloc costumes? Well, maybe that's going a little too far. But one thing we're missing is your questions. We're going to be spending two days in the middle of a crowd of Blizzard employees -- and at some point we're going to be talking to some of them. And for those of you who don't get to come (and perhaps even those of you who are joining us there!), what we want are your questions. If you had one question to ask the CMs or devs in person, what would it be? Give us your questions, and we'll pick the best of them to take along to BlizzCon with us.

Can we expect to see a significant addition of mid-game content [including quests, locations, zones/subzones, instances] anytime in the future of WoW, or is all focus on end-game content?

Is blizzard planning on dropping the subscription price at some point? Do they feel that doing so would bring in more players?

Omz Jul 30th 2007 9:31AM

When will the graphics and visuals be updated to better reflect today's computer games?

Bram Jul 30th 2007 9:33AM

ok here is my question. I like to know what Blizzards idea behind WOW is. When do they feel its finished. When all the aspects of WOW are implented or do they feel that not the whole lore has to be playable?

My question would be..."Other popular MMOs such as EQ have guild halls that come with guild banks that have guild portals and room to gather for raids and such which as you are sitting there your buff timers do not tick away. Is Blizzard going to implement something to this effect in the next expansion, i.e. Guild housing, bank, portal, etc...?"

Erica Olson Jul 31st 2007 8:48AM

When are you going to pay attention to and offer more content, etc. for the non-raiding/farming/pvp enthusiasts? We casual/semi-casuals are getting bored and the game isn't fun anymore.

Morthagrid Jul 30th 2007 10:23AM

here goes...

Blizzard - Warlocks ffs why?

lol

Question: I understand it must be very difficult to appeal to the masses. I know you dont play favorites with classes or type of player (casual, hardcore).

So how hard is it to find that balance between casual and hardcore? and what steps do you usally go through to ensure a good balance?

kpurdy_ Jul 30th 2007 10:47AM

what are their future plans for pvp, battle grounds, world pvp etc. do they ever plan on having large scale in-game events involving world pvp?

Krishan Jul 30th 2007 10:57AM

how long do they feel the wow lifespan is, do they think that increasing a level cap each time will keep it from being 'complete'

potatowedge Jul 30th 2007 11:00AM

Seriously, why all the Murlocs? Why can't we just fight giant flesh-eating fish instead of these little things that say "garblarblarblarblar"?

hamiltonerics Jul 30th 2007 11:25AM

Do you plan on implementing new classes to a possible new expansion? Do you feel that the current classes offer all the options possible, or do you feel that gameplay can be significantly expanded by the addition of a new class/classes? If you do think that new classes are in order, any ideas? If you feel the game is currently balanced, can you justify that response? Are all bases covered?

Also:
Where do you feel that hybrids should be in the future (I speak of Druids, Shaman, and Paladins)? With the possibility of new talents and a new level cap, do you think that hybrids will be forced into even more specialization, as is the main case now, or do you feel that a more "hybridized" set of synergistic talents will be made available to create "true" hybrids if a player wants such a thing? Many players play a hybrid class, and mostly are pushed into heavy specialization. The best examples of working hybrids are usually something that Balance/Resto Druids or Elemental/Resto shaman, and even Holy/Prot paladins to a lesser extent. Will all builds be synergized in the future?

Will we ever have heroic versions of old content?

(follow up question: "please?")

FireStar Jul 30th 2007 11:54AM

Will we ever be able to use our flying mounts in pre-bc content?

Will they ever change mid-game content?

Raogrimm2 Jul 30th 2007 12:14PM

Will Blizzard be removing any more factions from the game, such as the Wildhammer Clan and Raventusk Trolls? Just want to know as I'm worried about building rep with certain factions.

Bootsanator Jul 30th 2007 12:48PM

nah, they won't drop the subscription price.
9 million people playing? i think they have it right where they want it.

ashwilliams Jul 30th 2007 2:37PM

I'd ask:

"What was your proudest moment and biggest regret during the production of the original game, and the expansion?"

Lori Jul 30th 2007 3:53PM

A good question is:

With the release of TBC, old top level raid instances became obsolete with everyone scrambling to get to level 70. At the rate many guilds are progressing, current top level instances would become obsolete as well, if a new expansion with a new level cap, were to be released next spring or even the following christmas. This means that the effort to create these instances is wasted on all but hardcore raiders and, yes, It is understood that no one is forceing players to skip this content but human nature is what its. So, does Blizzard have any plans to somehow make old raid content again relevent via new quests, attunements, gear, necessary items/abilities, etc?
