Will the final Order Hall advancement affect all World Quests or just those that grant Artifact Power?
For context, when you unlock your class follower, you unlock the ability to research Rank 7 and 8 Order Advancement. The earlier Ranks will be easier to research as well.

I feel like something's missing here, and this didn't answer the question. Then again, I can't listen to the interview at the moment

As long as we aren't escorting elderly tauren across a demon-infested hellscape, I'm good.

Yaaaay! SO excited, been looking forward to this for ages.

Class mounts here I come!

Comment by Kingreboot

No more Throughput relics?
I hope this one does not stay or ret Paladins are going to be pissed. how am I going to get my aw relics. I still have to run darkheart M+ for my fire relic. Are they going to change M+ relics. The problem will still be there if they do not change M+ relics, just making it harder on people.

Edit: I read that all wrong, no more non-throughput relics, this is a great change

Can someone tell me will Nightbane's mount be available at all when 7.2 comes?

Yes, there was more to that answer. He basically said that it will only affect WQs that award AP.

Comment by Kingreboot

they said it would stay, in a blue post a day or so ago

Ohhh, ffuuuuu--- We finally got to see what Argus fully looks like, beyond that tiny, minute second we saw of it in the Nighthold end cutscene. Excitement level uuupp!

I'm pretty sure it is available already.

NOMI? Can we KILL NOMI yet? - How about fixing him then?

Yes, you just will have to run normal Mythic in order to get it, not Heroic or Mythic +

Comment by Solivarnik

As always, the trailer gave me goosebumps. Thank you Blizzard and thank you Wowhead for the date.

Obviously, we need to teleport him aboard all the ships so he can burn them from the inside out.

11 weeks for class mount... RETARDED... whats next? 6 months period of sh(t just to get some stupid pet/transmog? main dev for this patch needs to get fired RIGHT AWAY !

You seem reasonable, and have a firm grasp of your expectations. I would consider that if class mounts were available day1, they would be oldhat day2. Making the mount something you need to work on, is called building content, and allows for excitement to build as well. If after 11weeks, you can knock out the quests without restrictions, I would be 100% in favor of it.Which I assume it would be, considering that is how the Nighthold quests worked out.

Comment by sinangelus

Class Mount requirements: Exalted Reputation with Armies of Legionfall and finishing the 11 week campaign. Every week there is a new quest for that 11 week period.

Gosh... Exalted times 12 classes... I wish we had at least the MOP tokens that doubled rep for alts past revered once your main unlocked them.

And hopefully the campaign is different for every class, I'd love to see new class lore but I can't stand redoing the same exact questlines 12 times (like Suramar campaign or Illidan questline).

Plot Twist! Jaina Proudmoore shows up and helps to save Dalaran from annhilation. Could happen.....

Worst case, at least you make a few burgers if you get hungry.
