Making so much more stuff account wide is so important for the game in my opinion. I play rather casual but having to farm almost everything including transmog on multiple characters (if you got a leather piece of a plate wearer for example) is just killing so much fun for no reason. Im glad they are going this direction

In the character select screen they should had done so that each class 'does' something specific. Maybe rogue crouching on top of a box, mage reading a book, warlock looking into a large green kettle and so on.

Casual players like us who have a family and no longer have the time to go high, push ratings and sweat hard , relieve so much!! Looks like WoW is going up every single expansion and thats fantastic! Thanks for the video Kelani ❤

I love the warbands concept. It would make me feel more comfortable playing a different class if he/she had past reputation grinds finished like my main does.

Being able to pool resources between your alts is a HUGE QoL improvement.

This has by far been the best alpha video I've watched. You actually bothered to take the time to explain the warband screen for a start. Most others just seem to skip past it with a quick mention about it looking nice. Now I don't have to waste good moving chars onto one server since I can only use 4 on the warband screen. I can honestly say i can't remember the last time I was this excited for a new expansion in any game.

Dynamic flight for the horses! Get hippo mounts airborne, you just have to now Blizzard!🤣

Getting excited! These are things ive been wanting them to do

This looks great so far. thank you.

Thank you for the lack of story spoilers unlike some other people.
8'm honestly excited about all of the stuff so far.

8:53 Nice to see Sir Finley Mrgglton in the game!

I’m excited about it all! Haha love the look of all of it ❤

I always enjoy your content. Thank you for making it.

100% top notch video. Ty for your hard work

I love the existing crafting system, but we really need some form of knowledge catch up system added mid xpac.

Awesome ty for all the information you made it easier to understand. Have a great day and see you in the Patch lol

Thank god they gave you Alpha access Kelani :). Would have been a shame if they didn't. I am very happy to watch this video and see some exciting stuff and so hyped to get into it myself. I already signed up for beta access so hopefully I get picked for that :). Cheers :).

This is glorious!

I'm a very casual solo player so I'm mostly excited for the delves. I'm definitely going to be farming the crap out of those! My only complaint is that it doesn't look like Brann can be a tank which makes no sense to me. I would have loved to see Brann tank for some of my characters, particularly my mage

🎉ty for the info.

Love it. Cant wait. Especially account wide.

Looking pretty interesting so far.

This looks really cool so far

Super excited for this expansion

amazing video thanks

HOLY SHEET! This looks freaking amazing! I cannot wait!

I'm quite excited to test beta once it comes out. It's looking pretty good so far!

I would really love to see them make lower crests available to trade to your warbands.
After you achieve the War Within version of "Dreaming of Wyrms" they should then be warbound and available to share across your other toons.

They need to release account wide progress BEFORE the expansion launches.
It's definitely going to have issues for one thing, but also we people have time to finish up things they have been putting off because they don't want to farm rep for the 4th time.

imm gettin that wow itch. HOLY this looks so good. i luved the hero skills they showed during the showcase video. looked way better.

The Chief is back and it shows.

hope kelani reach 1mil sub by the end of year

Good video Ty

Account bound things across board is huge. Considering how big and long this game has been out it very needed.

The account wide is awesome!!!

Metzen is the heart of WOW ❤❤❤

cant wait to run around there as my druid!

I am so excited for dynamic flight. Riding on that horse through the air looks AMAZING!

I'm really looking forward to being able to unlock transmogs even if I can't equip them. That's gonna make my transmog farming so much better. I hope in the future we can get a version of delves reminiscent to scenarios where you go in with 2-3 people to do them and the difficulty scales accordingly. Think it would be fun to just have the option to bring a friend if I want or run solo as well.

This honestly makes me excited for the xpac. I appreciate the soloing and alt quality of life changes, and the Arachnophobia option is great for those (like me) who are not the biggest fans of spiders lol.

I do not like the 5 second cast switch between flight modes at all. At the moment I just keep one Dragonriding mount and one normal flying mount on my bar and switch between them depending on the situation. Most times I dragonride to a far destination and then switch to a normal flying mount to maneuver the last few feet with more precision. For example collecting treasures in Zereth Mortis, where chests are scattered across many different platforms, you can't initially make out while flying towards them with 5000mph.
Hope it gets to be an instant cast, no problem with dismounting for it ofc

“Can’t wait to see if we get more variations of the character screen background.”
The shop button on the character screen tells me they’ll sell us many different variations in that way. 😂

Thanks

Best WoW news channel, by far. Congratulations.

Just one more thing... cross my finger and hope this one have a decent story to tell! Cheers🍻

Wait....Ground mounts now fly too? Hells yea!!!

This is looking great any word on the new race being added?

Sweet!

Looks good

Everything looks great, i am so excited... That said, still not coming back untill we get human druids.. I know it's taking a while for everything to be created and set, the story has to be written. But getting inpatient.

I am so ready to farm up professions again, I know a lot of people hated it, but besides m+ is the only thing I do in the game

Delves, delves and more delves.

Any chance you can select it per mount: one hotkey w a dragonriding mount and a second w old style, or hot key the swap

I always think about that poor lady who asked for account wide reputation at a blozzcon and was met with a smug "why do you want that" from a sh*tty developer
Im glad accountwide things are happening.

It's great to see flying being improved and being more of fun way to go in the Game. Also I can't wait to see other features this expansion has instore for us.

Looks sweet

Recall my 4 best friends all buying wow at first day. We played for years, and stopped at WOTL. Man I miss those late nights, and weekends. Quests, Raids and. BG:s.

This looks awesome. I'm still a little hesistant based on past Blizzard mistakes but it seems great so far.

Is that dianlo style? Account wide bank and gold, GR challenges to get the rewards, and multiple chests in end of challenge!

i can't wait to get my mechano-hog airborne and dragon-ride with it (:

I hope they make more stuff account wide. It would be nice if you need 50 of something for a mount it could be account wide. Yes the forbidden reach comes to mind. I have some on each toon lol

So, you only can do the bank and gear stuff with your 4 PJ from warbands?

15:18 - BEST! EXPANSION! EVER!!!!!!
FINALLLYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(now just do it for snakes too and all will be right in the world)

Are all of your alts in the same realm, able to use the same warbands bank or is it just for the 4 characters in your warband group on the intro screen?

Delves is pretty much torghast reskinned with some changes

Arachnophobia mode that is hilarious! What an idea i am actually impressed!

I'm hoping they can make the gold just flat out account-wide instead of having to put money in a mutual fund.

so is the camp scene with 4 toons just cosmetic and the warband stuff is ALL your toons, or is a warband just your 4 faves?

I wish we could get a toggle button for level scaling!

What about the spider mounts?

I'm SUPER excited for this expac, way Way more than Dragonflight.

Love the warbands. Now give us the warband single player buffs to make it exactly like SW:TOR in this regard. 😬

As someone with multiple gold capped characters, I don't want account gold with a limit unless it is a billion or more

Metzen came back and is making things right. High hopes are here again

I wonder if buying a token for gametime will take it from the warband bank, i have alt guild banks and kept most of my gold there and sometimes forget to withdraw before my gametime ran out and not having enough to get a token, thankfully when ticketing blizz they have given me 20 mins of gametime to be able to withdraw the gold but would be nice not having to worry about it

Don't know why static flying is locked again... theres no good reason for that.
Flying into Zaralek Caverns was so annoying with this endless tunnel. Don't know why you'd repeat that.
I hope the warband system won't disappoint and will use the full potential.

Hope to see more MMO features. Last few times i played it felt like World of Mutecraft and you barely would meat Players. Also accessibility for non Dragonflightplayers would be important to me, aswell as focusing on Azeroth for Content instead of seperating players in dozens of addons.

Is it true that in season 1 there will only be 4 new m+ dungeon?

Where at on the map is the Isle of Dorn?

Is there auction in new main city ?
Please say yes. Thanks.

i just hope i have enough time to do every thing i want to do. i want to do at least some season 4 content untill pandaria remixed releases and i want to test the war withing crafting stuff in the beta. o lord its gone be busy times

account wide is huge. how has this not been implemented until now?

Is the Warband bank account bound for characters on other servers/factions? Example:So if I main on Area 52 as horde can my Stormrage Alli toons get access to items I put in my bank as horde?

So with Warbands you share renown and rep progression; what if you create a brand new character after a few weeks of playing and you put this in your warband - will this character instantly have the same renown/rep or will there be some sort of “catch up”?

It’s a small thing but the arachnophobia filter is a really nice quality of life feature. Can they make one to change Kul Tirans into proper human models?

Does dracthyr has Static fly? Or is affected by this?

Is the UI in this video the basic UI that WoW uses now, or are there addons being used?

1 Being forced to do a dungeon, *character dies dramatically*
You can do it solo at your own pace, *the pvper is instantly revived as going afk will be part of the strategy if/when needed depending on which design layouts Blizzard have chosen for said dungeon*
2 The fact they add account wide things this late just shows how great of a game WoW is. Pikaboo spoke about this in his latest PvP analysis video (released during 10.2.6) and I agree with him a 100% that WoW just is a game on a whole different level. It's just that Blizzard make choices that stop players from actually playing the game

i’m not even afraid of the WoW spiders, but i might just have to keep arachnophobia mode on for the crabs!! it’s so silly, i love it!
i wonder if that only covers the WWI mobs, or if the northrend nerubians will be crab-ified too. maybe the webs will be turned into moss? either way, great addition to the game imo!

They cooking

Will a character removed from the warband lose the shared renowns?

The main thing i want from wow is RNG protection on fights like LK

I demand a button to help appease my phobia of miniature fox people.

Remember to tip guys.

Hope we can loot Alleria for that bow 😂😮

I really hope they give us the ability to change our professions specializations if we decided not to go that way. I have made a mistake in dragonflight, and it took me awaile to fix it. So i hope they give this to us

I’m curious as to how the Nerubians will be interpreted by the crab filtering process?

are war bands actual account wide? or just realm wide?

I am finally getting new character screen background but now I need updated modern idle animations for our characters when not moving and no auto sit on afk. Modernize.
