What are you planning to test when the World of Warcraft 10.0 PTR arrives?
The World of Warcraft PTR servers for 9.2.7 went down on Wednesday this week, and that's raised some eyebrows.
Sanctum of Domination takes the stage as this week’s Fated raid in Shadowlands Season 4
Welcome to another week of Shadowlands Season 4, which brings us our next Fated raid -- the Sanctum of Domination. I hope RNG left each and every one of you a high-ilevel item in your disappointment box Great Vault after the server reset!
How should World of Warcraft bring back progression as a gameplay mode (à la Warfronts)?
One of the most popular stories you'll hear from the earliest World of Warcraft players is how Alterac Valley battleground matches could last many hours, with players leaving for meals or classes and then returning to find the same match going.
Can you solo Battle for Azeroth group content?
With the arrival of the final Shadowlands patch, World of Warcraft has officially entered its pre-expansion lull, and while the Dragonflight alpha is chugging along, many players tend to farm old expansions during the downtime, looking to pick up collectibles and transmogs they may have missed the first time around.
Who would you like to see return to World of Warcraft?
There are various characters who have been important to Warcraft as a whole, and World of Warcraft in particular, that we haven't seen for a while.
Dragonflight adds new Soft Target mode which lets you interact with targets at a glance
The latest alpha build for World of Warcraft's forthcoming expansion Dragonflight included a new feature coded as "Soft Targeting." An alternative to the standard tab target or click-to-interact that WoW players have been using for years, the soft target feature will automatically target an NPC or enemy within medium range that your camera is centered on -- you don't have to get right in their face, thankfully, but casters and hunters will find it hard to start combat from maximum range with this feature.
How important are mods to your World of Warcraft experience?
I used to heavily modify my WoW when I was raiding.
How do in-game currencies affect your game experience?
I feel like it's fair to say that by the end of Shadowlands (if you’ve been playing this whole time), you are running around with a fair amount of currency.
There’s a three year gap between the end of Shadowlands and the beginning of Dragonflight; what does that mean for Azeroth?
World of Warcraft players are all experts on keeping track of complicated timelines.
How do you feel about cosmic storylines in World of Warcraft?
I'm generally pretty down for storylines in my games that swing the focus as wide and cinematic as it can get. Legion, for example, was a story I really enjoyed -- the invasion of Azeroth by a vast, world-spanning host of demons which led to a showdown on a planet seething with fel corruption between a Pantheon of beings on the scale of gods and their fallen former champion, who sought to potentially destroy our whole world.
