Comment by smahaffey Thank you! I've been needing this. :) Also, you may want to modify your referenced hyperlink for twitch.tv\/wowhead. It's currently pointing at http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/twitch.tv\/wowhead instead of http:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/wowhead. Comment by perculia Thanks, fixed! Sometimes our autoformatting is too clever. Comment by neogregorian Two questions for the interview (if you're taking suggestions):\r
\r
1. Challenger's Strongbox (reward from the Daily CM quest) "can" drop LFR-quality gear piece. Is it guaranteed? If not is it a high chance or low?\r
\r
2. After your first heirloom per character & difficulty, has 6.0 increased heirloom drop rate after that or is it then the same as before? Comment by perculia We'll definitely read over suggestions, thanks for leaving some :) Comment by lankybrit The Character Planner is pretty cool. I think I'll add each of my characters and see what it says. I really like the Achievements section. Comment by PragmaticSoul What'd be cool is, if you're logged into wowhead, the Character Planner should have a link by your login name at the upper right. Comment by theASCHE360 thats why we love you wowhead! thanks for all the good work! :3 Comment by PumpkinFeast Sorry for off-topic, but could you please tell me if there are ANY additional rewards for doing the new UBRS before WoD?\r
\r
For example daily loot bags or like it used to be with the Theramore's Fall pre-Mists scenario which had the chance to drop those everlasting fireworks.\r
If it's gear only, I don't see the reason doing it daily, since it will be available for years anyway.\r
\r
Thank you for the answer in advance. Comment by PragmaticSoul Is there anything on wowhead that can look at my characters and see what glyphs they haven't learned yet, and what inks those glyphs use?\r
\r
I just learned all the pre-WoD glyphs on my scribe, and want to supply my characters with fresh glyphs. :-) Comment by perculia Yes, you can go to wowhead.com\/list and then enter in your character's name and realm. It will then bring up a ton of details on things you have collected, including a recipe tab.

Also re UBRS--this is a special 90 version, it won't be available in the future. The level 100 version has mostly different loot tables. Comment by purrmea Wow. Have to say the planner is pretty cool. Keep up the good work wowhead! Comment by PragmaticSoul Yes, you can go to wowhead.com\/list and then enter in your character's name and realm. It will then bring up a ton of details on things you have collected, including a recipe tab.\r
\r
Let me rephrase that.\r
\r
My main, who is a miner\/herbalist, had most of the glyphs learned when they switched to the "learn once, use forever (until deleted by Blizzard)" version of glyphs.\r
\r
Is there a way to see, without logging into WoW, what glyphs on his Glyphs tab are still remaining to be learned? I'd love to be able to do my "shopping list" in one place (to find out how many inks of each type I have to buy, and what glyphs to make), rather than resorting to "look on WoW, write in spreadsheet the glyphs, look up the inks required, write that in the spreadsheets; repeat for all 11 of my characters and 8 of my wife's characters; then buy the ink from the trader and make the glyphs."\r
\r
I'd like to have the first parts (missing glyphs and matching to the required inks) just by looking up the Armory information. I'm assuming that's impossible? Comment by perculia Oh hm, I see what you mean. I don't think we can currently show that now since it's not on the Armory, but maybe we can add a different sort of tracking for that in the future. Comment by gummiebear007 Question: Will battle pet breeding make it's way into the expansion? I was really sad to see it got pushed out during Beta.\r
\r
(I posted my question in the forums as well, because I'm not sure which place I need to put it.) Comment by perculia Either place is fine, we are also looking at twitter\/email for questions. We do have some topics we want to cover but we also want to see what topics are popular with our readers. Comment by DaltonImperial Little bit overwhelmed with all of the Wowhead features: will start with the DK changes to figure out how (as Unholy) to turn Blood Runes into Death Runes without Blood Strike.\r
\r
Sure your questions will be great, but here are some questions\/topics if you need a few (I ramble, so you'd probably have to shorten them, and some may not be within the scope of their job):\r
\r
1- Does WoD reflect a unified vision? Several features seem to be inconsistent, such as: (1) Ashran and no flying to encourage more player interaction\/world PvP\/prevent skipping content yet also have personal garrisons, which will largely be solo; (2) allowing people with skill level 1 of a profession to make WoD items but requiring cooldowns for most crafted gear (since entry level greens were eliminated) and then putting the 3-crafted item limit how much you could craft.\r
\r
2- How do you envision garrisons working with the (now unified) Auction House? Should a single character be (largely) self-sufficient with her garrison and thus not need to use the AH (as much), or will the AH continue to play a major role for professions buildings that both are and are not in my garrison?\r
\r
3- How will you measure players' views on whether flying should be added in a later patch?\r
\r
4- Why did the "New in this Patch" that appears upon logging into a new character explain the ability pruning for each toon (e.g. Unholy DKs don't have Blood Strike anymore, so cast XYZ to use your Blood Runes)? Do you think you have communicated these changes well to players who may not actively visit the forums or sites like Wowhead?\r
\r
5- What are some changes you made to the game in response to feedback on the Beta Forums?\r
\r
Thanks. Comment by desperat what i would like is a good tool to see what toys i got and what i am missing, like how profiles interact with mounts or quests Comment by perculia We're hoping Blizzard adds the toy box to the API, right now Blizzard has said that the updated API is not ready. If they don't add it shortly, we'll think of an alternate way to track toys. We'll definitely make a new post when we've set something up or Blizzard tracks it. Comment by CronkAM My questions for the interview:\r
\r
1. It's been repeated a few times that the Timeless Isle was a big success (to the point that much of the new content in WoD is at least partially an evolution on TI). What kind of metrics are used to make the success\/failure determination? Do you take into account other factors that may have led to increased player activity on TI (such as the easy availability of epic gear vs. all other Mists content) and try to control for them when looking at the data?\r
\r
2. Are you happy with the new healing paradigm? Based on what you've seen, read, and experienced, do you think it has accomplished (or will accomplish) what you were hoping for? Comment by JoshWayne I LOVE that the "Same Model As" tab has pics for all the listings. Would it be possible in the future to put the actual item's pic in that tab, also? Maybe with a box around it so that people realize it's the current item they're looking at. Re: I just think it would be easier to compare and see which items are exact matches to the current item and which are recolors. Keep up the good work! Love Wowhead!
