Awesome interview...i can't wait for my frostmurne swords for my dk..or for new dalaran & proffesion system...

I just can't wait for Legion! All the new systems and profession quests! Plus, being a Druid at heart, I was BEYOND ecstatic when they announced the Druid class hall. I was hoping for Moonglade, sure. It made sense. I'm not gonna spoil the new zone for Druids, but it is somewhere I believe is the perfect place for any and all Druids!
Thank you Blizzard for the all the new, fun, and enjoyable content! <3

I love seeing WoWs ingame look progress and become closer to the artwork we consistently see. Make it so much more immersive. Looking forward to seeing any updated models for the leaders/npcs, going to be 110% epic :D

Plans for character model update? Yes, please! The more I read about this expansion, the more hyped I get haha

WHY ONLY PLANS FOR WORGEN/GOBLIN UPDATES

Please ;_; Gone are my hopes for now (but there's still hope for a belf-style 7.1 patch model update...)

I still want to know what the warrior weapon will be.

Omgosh, I may need to get a new computer, these new graphics look amazing! So beautiful! Good job Blizz!

That bit about spell effects makes me pumped - I remember blood boil was awesome very briefly before being toned down so much.

I really didn't like the WoD levelling set aesthetic so I'm curious to see what they do there too.

Comment by TutorialBlox

Man I hope Death Knights get some more customization options, such as more eye glow colors and rune symbols on their bodies that glow when they use certain spells!

the art team will never fail us.

One of the best part about WoW is the effort that artists put into the game no matter what!
