    Metzen is, among other things, a DM that loves telling stories. And as you grow as a DM, you learn that better than just bringing YOUR story to life, is taking the stories that everyone at the table wants to tell and weaving them together into YOUR WORLD. I don’t see him coming back to only tell his own story, he’s done that already. If Tali’s rumors are true and he’s working this closely with the team, then that’s a reason to get very excited indeed.
    And honestly, we all knew it would either be him leading something totally new in the Warcraft universe, or exactly this.

    Of course it’s ok to love Chris Metzen.
    Also, I worked directly with top brass at multiple international companies - doesn’t mean I keep up with their personal life.
    (or even hang with them outside of work)
    *Chris even said exactly the same in the quotes you shared)
    About writing content…look at George Martin (to start with)…
    Also, you’re apparently loving some Baldur’s Gate 3…
    (it gets kinda furry there- and we aren’t even going to mention the 50 shades guy.) 😜

      His return was announced December 15, 2022. I'm not sure if he had already been there for some time at that point, but that's what we know. That's a few weeks after Dragonflight launched.
      Typically, expansions enter full production roughly when the previous one launches. I'd say 11.0 had been in pre-production for a while before Chris returned, but he has likely been able to have a large amount of influence.

    If you catalyst them first, you get both normal and heroic tier transmogs when you upgrade.
    I prefer taking lfr level to normal for those 2 tier mogs then catalyst mythic plus gear into heroic tier that upgrades to mythic mog. You only need 2 pieces of gear for each slot to cover all 4 tiers.

      You can get Catalyst-able Veteran gear from the first weekly Time Rift, Suffusion Camp: Secured Chest & Proto-Drake Boss.
      You can get Catalyst-able Hero gear from M+17-20, and from Dawn of the Infinite Mega-Dungeon.
      There are other sources (the raid obviously) but these are the easiest ways to get them without needing to set time aside for a raid.

    Gotta admire the passion Metzen has. I know he loves the franchise and certainly Blizzard as a whole but I'm going to be real, I don't know if having Metzen back even in a large role is going to sway public opinion that only gets worse as time goes on in a sustained manner. I want to be proven wrong, but Blizzard is just not the same beast it used to be. If the CEO/President/Copresident/hall monitor of Blizzard can't assert itself against those higher than it, what luck does Metzen have to get what _needs_ to get done actually done?

Can't help it, gamer neurochemistry is messed up. It can't be fixed, just need to keep the miserable fks subscribing.

      @@serendip1tyz The issue is the fact that if you expect to be pushing keys past +20, you have all of maybe 6 specs that are used. That's not good for the game no matter how hard you try to convince yourself that M+ is why the game still even exists. As it stands, M+ is the only endgame content that will allow you to obtain the best gear. Pushing M+ to obtain that gear is locked behind playing a Fire Mage or Unholy DK, a Guardian Druid, a Holy Paladin, a Shadow Priest, or an Augmentation Evoker. If you are not playing one of these 6 specs, chances are you're not going to time a high key and get the loot you want, even if you're running with a group of friends or a guild instead of trying to PUG it. Its fucking atrocious that the game has 13 classes and like 38 specializations, and out of all of those you have six classes and six specs that are capable of pushing high M+ for gear.

      I don't take it as shitting on my comment what-so-ever... this company is proving it's ineptitude every-single-release for the last 2-3* years.
      Every IP has lost users.
      (Classic Wrath may be the first time World of Warcraft as a section has had 10+ million players in more than ~9 years {Warlords of Draenor} peaking well above Legion!)
      Every IP has infuriated it's fanbase.
      (Classic added boosts, mounts, and the token within a year of each expansions launch {so curious why they didn't do it on launch, hmmmmmmmm...})
      And NEW IP's are used as case-study for what NOT to do to retain player engagement.
      (Literally every IP in the last 6 years, which they have forced nearly all into live-service-industry games, loses more than 50% of it's players within the first month, WITHIN the ->1st month!)
      One of their newest games is referred to as Warcraft 3: REFUNDED! Their NEWEST game is referred to as Diablo: IMMORAL and is literally a test for exactly how far a company can milk it's whales and cash in on it's "integrity" with things like dark-patterns, gacha mechanics, and loot boxes with varying price degrees. (9000% BONUS)
      And Diablo 4 (based on their own corporate investor call numbers) LOST MORE PLAYERS THAN PURCHASED PRE-ORDERS!! Meaning they very likely LOST MONEY in the 1st quarter of Diablo 4!!!!
      I can, if necessary, continue to flesh out every one of these points, but they should speak for themselves quite vibrantly.

      ​@@conanmcclanahan1069 I think you may have misworded your initial message or I misinterpreted, but your initial comment as I understood was that there are not enough talented individuals to work on adding new content to a 20-year-old version of the game. I disagree with that statement. There are plenty of capable and talented individuals working for Blizzard who could pull that off.
      From your most recent comment, you're discussing failures from a business standpoint. The outlier here is of course the Warcraft 3 Remaster which failed due to various reasons. Beyond that, technically speaking - all the games were released in a relatively good quality state. I'm not defending shady business practices and anti-consumer practices nor was that even what I was speaking to.
      To further my initial point, "they" being Blizzard and specifically WoW have been more responsive to player criticisms & tighter content releases. WoW Classic Hardcore is a thing that they made official as they saw it was a big hit with consumers. Consumers have also been requesting Wow Classic + since Classic was released. When Classic releases new content, players respond well. Cataclysm took a large hit in subscriptions which was already bleeding from the end of WOTLK. There have been surveys about whether they should move forward with that expansion or do something else. I believe, with this information, chances are fair that they have pivoted resources to Classic + in some fashion rather than Cata Classic.
      Regardless, there are resources(dedicated team members) here that must be applied somewhere and that is what makes the most sense, at least to me.

      We don’t need a hype based rush of players flooding in. That’s shadowlands. Hype, big launch with huge preorders, then player count fell off a cliff. We need regular content, constant improvements as well as big features for each expansion, and an overhaul to the new player experience. That, plus better communication to make sure problems are heard and addressed, will let the game grow slowly but steadily.
      We have the foundations for that in what has been done in DF. If they continue to make good decisions, then DF will be seen as the beginning of the new era of WoW. We’ll have to see if that happens.

    Though, I wouldn't say no to a Starcraft, Diablo or Overwatch animated series as well. I think Steve, Ion and the current team are doing a great job. I feel Metzen will just let the current team continue what they started since expansions take more than a year to build from the ground up. That's why Metzen might be working on something else in the Warcraft universe, not necessarily on Wow.

    As someone who has no plans to rejoin the WoW scene anytime soon (if ever), I really am glad to hear Metzen might be back in action and helping guide the team towards a brighter future for the game. Here's hoping. I just can't help but be skeptical as long as ol' Bobby is at the Helm.

I still love the game and I am hype for every expansion ( Yes...even for WoD) but I just can't farm reputation so I can get a tabard or a shoulder piece!! I am excited for the new expansion !!

      Yea I've been playing since the end of TBC/start of WOTLK and it is the story/lore elements that keep me interested. The endless grinds just don't do it for me anymore. Shadowlands finally killed it for me and DF has been great but it hasn't been enough to actually get me playing again. I honestly don't know what that would take, I do try and stay updated on the story/characters but that doesn't really require paying a sub and playing. Time will tell

    When they brough Metzen back, I had two thoughts. 1 he was there to expand the warcraft IP, maybe a new movie or other project. My other thought was that he might be needed for "rework" for the old zone. I mean he was a big part of the cata rewamp.
    But tbh, I don't think it is timely possible for 11.0, I thought the earliest for rewamp, will me 12.0.

Hope Metzen delivers.

Once you catalyze a Champion piece, it basically becomes a piece of Normal raid gear that can still be upgraded to 437. The only problem is that open world players and solo players won’t seem to be able to earn the Wyrm Crests needed to upgrade past 424.

    Taliesin i have a question,
    When we look at the titankeepers and even the titans themselves, we can see that there are titans and keeper alike who obviously wield different types of powers yes sure most of these powers are magic related and we can classify magic as a force of order, intrinsically linked with the titans.
    However we clearly see titans and titankeeper wilding:
    1. life like Eunar ore Freya
    2. Elemental powers like Golganneth and Khaz’goroth ore Odin, Thorim and Hodir
    3. Death like arguably Argus was supposed to.
    4. Even Sargeras who had dominated fellmagic because he was the only being in existence that could strip demons of the fell ore grand it like a blessing.
    Everybody als got corrupted by it.
    5. Let’s not forget light because there we have some very important beings on our hands.
    Fore example Azeroth, most of here power is light based many keepers formed of here “shell; (the very ground we walk)” use the light.
    Fore example Tyr and even Ra most of the Titan watcher use the light
    The Titan watchers on Zandalar use the light as well as on Ulduar the original Wrykul also use storm related powers on par with the light.
    Some of the fleshy Wrykul, humans the Zandalary are using the light as well because of the Loa who came from Azeroth.
    And it seems like the light is the worst force against the void.
    Also despite the Draenei knowing so much about the light it is still mostly Azerothians who have a natural affinity for using the light.
    My question is, are the Titans really there to order the cosmos ore are they just experiencing it step by step and they are actually just as confused and worried about as any other being is?
    Why do they have all these different affiliations instead of just being all about Magic and mana and time, because I consider time as a part of order and magic very much.
    As we saw with Argus they are clearly born with there powers already established.
