Legion Respec Costs Removed; Talent Changing Restricted
posted
2016/05/17 at 12:06 AM
by
perculia
While it's been established for a while that Legion will remove dual-speccing and instead let players swap between all specs, more changes were revealed today:
Respec costs are removed; players can just swap between specializations freely.
Changing talents is now more restricted. Without any reagent cost in the Legion beta, it was easy for players to swap talents so frequently (i.e. every pull in a dungeon) to where talents could simply feel like extra UI navigation instead of a meaningful choice.
Talents will now be restricted outside of safe "Rested" areas, and scribes can craft a Tome allowing nearby players to retalent freely for a period of time.
Edit: a followup post was made:
The Inscription-created item would be something anyone could drop, not restricted by profession.
The materials required to make the items would be along the lines of a group consumable, not lesser mats for individual consumables.
Talents are about having meaningful choices and if you could respec nonstop, it would feel like you simply had all abilities available and a lengthy spellbook.

Horde Garrison Beta Redesign
If you watch our video from an earlier build, you can clearly see the layout and sheer size of the starter-level Horde Garrison. Now, in build 18505, the Horde Garrison has been reduced in size considerably, although it is still not as tiny as the Alliance starting Garrison. Check out the video, for the old Garrison, and the images for the new one!

Hearthstone Beta: Upcoming Changes

In our previous blog, we covered some of the nitty-gritty facts about the wipe and what exactly it entails. It’s an exciting time for the Hearthstone team, since this wipe will coincide with our first major closed beta patch for both the Americas and Europe regions. Our update covers a wealth of bug fixes and quality of life improvement within Hearthstone, and today we’ll be sharing some of the highlights of this upcoming patch. Many of these changes are based on feedback that you, our valued community, provided to us on the forums.
Daily Quests
We’ve gotten a lot of comments on quests. The community has discovered some fun hidden quests, but some of our daily quests have frustrated those of you who have quests that don’t correspond to your favored class. After the patch, daily quests that require you to win with a specific class will now give you a choice between two classes, allowing you some additional flexibility.
Balance
Class balance has been a hot topic, with many of you commenting on

Mists of Pandaria Zone Preview: Townlong Steppes

Townlong Steppes
, intended for level 88+ players to quest in, is a dangerous place. The Pandaren generally live on the other side of the Great Wall, but the mantid have burst through their defenses a hundred years early. The Pandaren have no other choice but to bravely enter Townlong and investigate the majestic empire of the Mantids--while also dealing with the vicious Yaungol, enraged by the Mantid's attacks on their territory.
On the other side of the wall lies all sorts of dark secrets--cloudserpents turned to stone, great trees corrupted by magic, swarms of elite mobs.
Townlong Steppes
is home to the
Shado-Pan
and the dungeon
Siege of Niuzao Temple
, the Temple of the Black Ox.
There are a number of quirky
quest rewards
including a cloud serpent mount:
Reins of the Onyx Cloud Serpent

We have a visual preview below, as well as a Blizzard Q&A about the zone!

Mists of Pandaria Zone Preview: Kun-Lai Summit

Kun-Lai Summit
is a vast area with Pandaria's highest mountains, autumnal plains, royal underground tombs, a lush coastal area, and the dungeon
Shado-Pan Monastery
. There's also the Temple of the White Tiger, and a monk-only area, Peak of Serenity. It's a zone intended for level 87+ players to quest in.
Kun-Lai is different from the other zones in that there's a ton of scenic variety between the quest hubs, from snowy mountains to forests. Lore-wise, there's something for everyone with the invasion of the Zandalari, Yaungol attacks, the return of the Mogu, Pandaren monasteries, and the threat of the Sha.
We also found the
Sha of Anger
, a new world boss, towering over a village.
We have a visual preview below as well as a Blizzard Q&A about the zone!
The Zandalari
Zouchin Village, North Wind Tavern, Isle of Reckoning, Thunder's Call
The Zandalari have attacked the Zouchin, an unarmed village located in the most fertile part of Kun-Lai Summit. As they have weak reinforcements, they need your help. Nobody has ever seen trolls before, so the Zandalari attacks are even more shocking.
To get to Zouchin Province, you ride a hot-air balloon wit
