Drinks with Devs - Great Fun

I attended the Drinks with Developers event and I had a blast. The team were great to hang out with and very approachable. Talking with them I learned a lot about a number upcoming changes that are on the table - not sure if I was supposed to hear all of them.

Just a few of the nuggets I picked up. Many of these are "on the list" and not necessarily imminent:

  • Auto-follow will be disabled in warfronts
    Warlord is getting a snare ability
    Riftblade Synergy with Tempest will be getting a nerf
    New intra-dimensional travel items are coming
    Cross shard might soon become at will (though the effects are still being debated.)


There were more but I wasn't taking notes.

I learned a lot of insider jokes about things that were infamously broken - including the famous flying spider mount, the Ebb of the Tidelord achievement, and the ability to leave a warfront and still score kills with Wrathful Exuberance.

We also talked about our S.H.O.E. collections - and joked about an achievement/title for collecting them.

New L60 remade dungeons are coming for some old world content and are currently in QA. Looking forward to the new Realm of the Fae.

Daglar even brought up an idea of upgrade components to bring old world raid drops up to L60 spec - something we -might- have to look forward to.

I made out with a ton of swag too - a store display. concept art, a signed Collector's Edition Storm Legion copy, a T-Shirt, and some credits.

All in all it was a great event surrounded by good people - much fun.
