Here’s the camera command - /console cameraIndirectVisibility [1]

I'll be doing the same thing I do in every pre-patch, meticulously setting up skill bars and talent builds for all 13 characters and 39 specializations, and then proceeding to play maybe 3 of them during the expansion.

This guy has the best commentary voice for WoW news.

Couple of things:
1> If you bought Epic edition (or the CE), there are two quests for pets and xmog. While you're still grinding things out, pick up these quests and get them done easily.

2> I'm working on some profession Achv and need to make some things on profession alts I never learned before. On one quest chain to unlock a Tailoring spec, the quests all say "your Warband has completed this quest already." Which sounds great. Except... even though it realizes I have done all these quests already, it doesn't unlock *ANY* of the necessary steps that are associated with those quests.

Example: when I go to Suramar on my main, I have the option to equip a disguise, which was unlocked through a quest chain. You use that disguise to unlock a Tailoring spec, but even though it recognizes "my Warband has completed these quests", my Tailoring alt still doesn't have access to the disguise.

This is a ***THIRTY FOUR*** part quest chain to unlock!!! So if ever there was a situation where I wanted this to work, this would be it. And... it doesn't work. So I would expect this to be very hit/miss for older content.

I think we should be able to assign flight mode per mount in the journal so we do not have to spend so much time switching between flight modes. 5 sec cast time for that is ridiculous.

"or maybe just outside the city but still too lazy to go find a bank" I felt that HARD! lol

[jwitkoff]

Warband Bank isn't available yet. You can unlock it, but it's "disabled" at this moment

Blue Post:
Along with the launch of the pre-expansion patch (11.0.0), we’ve temporarily disabled the Warband Warbank while we work on a critical issue.

Things that needs improvement:
-The menu screen is too big, and it doesnt get smaller even if you change scaling
-Needs seperation/filtering/ability to not see some characters in the character select screen.
I have 40 characters... Let me not see some of them pls? Screen looks so bad 😅

4:48 I find the way they implemented the transition between steady and dragon riding really annoying. Under the old system you could go between a Dragon mount and a steady mount with 1 button in a few seconds and it was all automatic (click a dragon mount for dragon riding and non dragon mount for steady riding). You now click the change icon, it dismounts you, then you have to summon the mount again. It takes at least twice as long if not more

Thinking about new quests, I just did that new quest for all the new fast riding gear sets from the dwarf in valdraken :). Never knew the quest was down there where you have to get those 50 items then the next quest requires 500 of the item and you get like 5 new riding mount transmog gear sets :). great video like always and can't wait to start the pre patch events today. Cheers :).

So happy about the warband feature. Sounds like it will make it much more appealing to try different things, because you can essentially switch to a new main without loosing anything other than some gear progression.

[weirdodude]

It''s neat to see players coming back to the game, it's really feeling alive again. Thumbs up!

...was expecting Xal'Atath to jumpscare on this channel like she did on PlatinumWoW, Hazelnutty, and MrGM today.

Hate the cast time to change flying styles.

Here’s an example of why. (Including the gathering problems it causes)


Nokud offensive.
Dragonflying for distance.
Regular flying for shorter flights and setting up for where the tank decides to go to.

Large pain to lose that option.

[ExiledtoVampa]

I really like the materials and items being in the Warband bank and being able to use them from there and not in your personal bags is a huge positive change

[ethanavrigean]

What is that mage helm that gives the verdant spheres? I know there is a green variant from remix but I hadn't seen the blue orbs yet?

[jpt]

I did the harbringer on only 1 char. Do I need to do it on the char I would like to go into the event ?

[mattyboy]

this should have been added with our garrison, be cool to see our alts walking around or working on thier profs in the garrison rather than random npcs

[Benno]

I saw the prepatch being launched and wasnt too excited to log in. But after this video, ill give it a shot 😊

[kristamuhm]
