so we've got all the details!Watch Interview With Paul Kubit on Torghast & The Maw from Towelliee on www.twitch.tvHighlights

Keys for Torghast can technically be infinitely farmed, but you'll need to do more than just Torghast to get it.

You'll be able to enter Torghast shortly after you hit 60.

Probably not a lot of equippable gear that has an item level in Torghast. It's mostly for Legendaries and Freed Souls.

Torghast has tech to scale mobs by role and even by spec, but with Anima Powers, they're not sure if it's needed.

A soft-timer per floor might be added so that people don't feel incentivized to only pull with cooldowns up.

Torghast will stick around for the expansion with new floors, legendaries, themes and ecologies.

You might see some important souls in Torghast as that's where the Jailer keeps his most prized souls.

The Maw is an end-game zone where you'll have to prioritize what you want to do as you're timed due to the Eye of the Jailer debuff.

SummaryCan you access Torghast the week you hit 60?What is Boss Loot going to be?How will Torghast affect Weekly Chest Loot?What do you get for going higher in Torghast?Is there a cap to the reagents and Legendary Crafting Materials?What slots do Legendaries fill?Legendary Anima Power?Will there be a pause timer in the Tower?Why would you be in a group?Do Tanks and Healers get differently tuned mobs?Any plans to have an affix system in Torghast?Any plans for keys?How many Anima Powers can you expect to get?Easy, Normal, Hard is that Alpha only?Procedurally Generated Levels?Are boss and brokers levels fixed?Who are the Souls/NPCs we're seeing?How will the Tower evolve?What am I going to experience in the maw?

Comment by LilithviaGood Luck on getting anything useful from Kubit.

Haven't gotten anything good in my blizzcon interviews with the dude.Comment by SoeroahGod, I hope they allow WQs to contribute to the weekly chest.

The game would be best if the weekly reward chest came from all sources of gamplay, IMO. Especially if they're removing Titanforging.Comment by gamer74123God, I hope they allow WQs to contribute to the weekly chest.

They play to have Legendaries for every slot about trinkets and weapons. Legendary effects will have a specific slot that they're tied toComment by CrusadyrAll the answers are "I don't know", "maybe" and "we just don't fully know yet."Comment by ohnoezitsjoesThey plan on having Legendaries available for every armor slot except trinket and weapons. The legendary effect can be related to the slot, such as movement speed on boots.Comment by juniordlukI really like how the interviewee expresses himself.Comment by RichardMNixonWas this translated from another language? Some of the wording is really weird (asking about a 'pause' in the tower but the responses talk about level skipping, or 'every slot about trinkets and weapons')Comment by SoeroahThis guy is really into describing alternate realities :pComment by Shiro867If they made it a lower ilvl from JUST doing WQ's that would work fine, I don't want to see someone who JUST does WQ's to all of a sudden outgear someone who does their weekly PVP and 15 or 10.Comment by AralndaI am just doing all the quests and mini events in Pandaria and Uldum. It feels like a chore still and I get bored quickly. Also the souls thing sounds like you can collect souls and turn them into rep since your covenant needs souls (anima power) it seems like they would reward you in rep and esteem to their covenant.Comment by Ralph2449Blizzard needs to rethink gearing, they themselves admitted that possibly many people might enjoy torghast a lot more, yet be forced to do raids and m+ for gear because gear is everything in wow.

People who progress Torghast need a source of gear or things to upgrade your gear, people won’t be able to enjoy such a game when they are hard capped to a fooor simply because gear is never dropped in Torghast.Comment by lokuvWhat slots do Legendaries fill?

Like if I could get all my key currency in one sitting for the week(s) by it being cumulative I wouldn't mind as much, but meh if forced to log into every few days especially if trying to keep multiple characters up to date.Comment by MrXtrmBlizzard needs to rethink gearing, they themselves admitted that possibly many people might enjoy torghast a lot more, yet be forced to do raids and m+ for gear because gear is everything in wow.

You might think M+ don't have its own rewards. Lol.
