One of the aspects of this new Mythic+ design is the replayability. If your "Keystone" gets upgraded, do you then have to do the same dungeon again on a higher difficulty? What is the window of time to complete this upgraded dungeon?

If Blizzard is concerned about dungeon burnout among players (which it seems that you are judging by the WoD comments), isn't this new process going to simply accelerate that process?

Will there be a way to prevent 4x tanks 1 healer group setups?

Hey everyone,

Once again, we want to start off by thanking you all for participating in the Alpha and posting here in the forums. It's extremely valuable to us to be able to play with you all online. We're constantly reading these forums and discussing your feedback within the team. It's been a great help!

At this stage of development, the class and PvP teams are spending more time on class tuning and balance. We've read everything you posted so far and look forward to hearing even more of your thoughts going forward.

Honor Level 50 Templates Incoming
We've gotten some great feedback on the new Honor system and we've made some adjustments to its pacing. Now, we think the time has come to focus on getting as much feedback as possible on the Honor talents themselves. In an upcoming build (sorry no specific ETA), we've set the Honor level to 50 on the templates used to create new characters. If you'd like to instead continue to test the Honor progression, you are more than welcome to Prestige. We'd love the feedback!

Class Tuning
Damage and healing tuning has begun for classes and as such we'll be monitoring its effects on PvP. One of the big additions to PvP in Legion is our ability to adjust character stats on a per spec basis to tune things like damage, healing and health pools for PvP. So if we feel like a class is doing too much damage, we'll decrease their Strength, Agility, or Intellect. We commonly run into the problem that for any number of reasons, a class could be doing a lot of damage in PvP but not enough in PvE. For example, we recently reduced the PvP Agility on Havoc Demon Hunters to counteract a buff they received to their spells for PvE. Another example is the increase of Stamina for all Warlock specs since they did not feel tanky enough.

PvP Spell Multipliers
We also have the ability to easily apply PvP multipliers to specific spells when needed. These PvP multipliers only adjust the spell when used on another player or, in the case of healing spells, when engaged in PvP combat. We'd prefer to limit the number of spells we adjust in this way as it can be difficult for players to keep track of which spells have been adjusted. But, we'd like to illustrate some examples of how we've used this capability so far in the Alpha.

Self-Healing
Self-healing is valuable for giving players some degree of personal sustainability, but it can be problematic for the pace of gameplay in PvP if it is too strong. On the Alpha, we've recently used PvP multipliers to reign in the strength of Fury Warrior healing through Bloodthirst and Demon Hunter leech in Metamorphosis for just this reason.

Burst Damage
Many of our classes have instant cast spells that deal a lot of damage to create exciting inflection points in their rotation. But for PvP, where burst damage in kill windows matter so much, it can be problematic when one spell does too much damage. For this reason, we applied PvP multipliers to reduce the damage of Marksmanship Hunter's Aimed Shot and Marked Shot on Alpha. Of course, if the Class Design team adjusts the damage of either of these spells, we would adjust the PvP multipliers if we felt itsnecessary.

Thank you again, for all of your participation within the game and here on the forums. We couldn't do this without your help and we really do appreciate your support.

Comentario de TrueAgony Yay! I thought Bribe was going to be super bad, but it looks like it won't be! :) Comentario de overthinker really liking the Guardian Druid look now. Like that it actually has armor on it now. Comentario de MattDayman I hope they change Incarnation a bit. It seems unfinished with the weird yellow shadow underneath. I mean they added bark-like skin for barkskin.

All the other changes and the new moves look really great though! Comentario de Atratzu The druid animations look good. +1 rep to the panda that just stood there as a target dummy. :P Comentario de Akula1 Meh. Guardian animations are slightly better than live, but just compare it to warrior or enhancement shaman. Hope they don't consider this ready.

Also, I hate the Maul "backhand" animation. C'mon, it's pretty easy to undesrtand how claws work, they are not double edged... Comentario de hotaru251 Incarnation looks better on live than Legion, but i guess the chose to not add the armor to cover up our new and amazing bear skins.

just hoping the changes to us dont stop us from being able to solo content we can currently. Comentario de Pfenix I think it would have been awesome if they had allowed Pandaren to be druids and their Guardian bear form had been a Panda Bear coloration. Here is hoping that could be something they consider in the future. Comentario de moosecat11 I think it would have been awesome if they had allowed Pandaren to be druids and their Guardian bear form had been a Panda Bear coloration. Here is hoping that could be something they consider in the future.Comentario de Aenwyrm Seems odd that Ysondre is a boss this xpac, considering she was free of the nightmare and helped us kill the other three back in Cataclysm. Seems Blizz forgets their own lore now. Comentario de Castrum Maybe I missed a memo, but Tauren not having horns in bear form anymore is complete bull#$%^. Comentario de Albaharmamar every ability is just a copy of another with some different flashy effect. incarnation looks like trash now. the claw slashes don't match the movement of the druid even closely in most abilities… this just looks so bad… so sloppy. Comentario de hotaru251 I am still wondering why Thrash has fire effect (how the heck do bears make fire?) Comentario de Shamcloth still waiting to hear about fist weapon tmog.................... Comentario de solitha Seems odd that Ysondre is a boss this xpac, considering she was free of the nightmare and helped us kill the other three back in Cataclysm. Seems Blizz forgets their own lore now.Comentario de solitha Feedback on the video - I very much liked the Legion/live split screen comparisons. Love to see more of that. Comentario de MrVolare Skull Bash really should be the druid headbutting the caster.

Charge is awkward as it looks angry and ferocious, then comes to a fullstop before bopping the opponent on the nose. Funny? Yes. Kawaii? Maybe. Lumbering wall of pissed-off Ursoc spawn? Not so much. Comentario de Palorica (in reply to Castrum)

I could be wrong, but I believe normal tauren form does have horns. What you saw was just artifact tauren, which just like the troll, worgen, and night elf artifact forms, only differ in color and not in style (ex. artifact troll doesn't have tusks, and worgen doesn't get a mane.) Comentario de Latara I think the vid shows Mangle as being the backhand, and just an arguing point: getting backhanded by a giant bear, would probably kill you even without the claws. Comentario de Ravenhide Every time I see one of these updates posted, I can't help but think about all of the stuff they still need to test and implement. By the sounds of it they're just barely over half way through the alpha, and still no date for the beta. I know they're kind of saying the game is expected to release by the end of September, but honestly, at this point I feel like we'll be lucky to see this before the end of the new year. This waiting is killing me.

Makes me wish I was some sort of popular YouTuber, just to try and get access to the Alpha. Comentario de selkie47 Why would they give mangle the bash animation? And the new skull bash is like SLAP SLAP. If anything, they should switch those two. Can't say i am liking that all the bear's new animations are all ground effects and colors over the fur- how about a crouch for a defensive ability? Who am i kidding though- my main is going to look so fabulous! <3
