I really want war bands to one day function in the similar way that the NPC follower dungeons currently function. In that, it would be nice to be able to group my own characters together into a party and have the NPC AI drive the other four characters during things like delves and five-man dungeons. I also hope that it’s useful from a leveling standpoint. For instance, it would be really cool to be able to create five characters in one go, and then level all five of them from level one to the cap all the way through, and even cooler, to be able to hot swap between them in-game seamlessly. Ultimately, I think war bands is the thing with the most potential.

I like everything except the " For instance, it would be really cool to be able to create five characters in one go, and then level all five of them from level one to the cap all the way through".
SWTOR actually had seamless solo instances for players back in like 2012 when they launched. The class quests often took you into solo instances of buildings, caves, etc. The flashpoints (their dungeons) did have loading screens, though.
wish they would test privately and release the game to us blind, it would be so much more exiting to play a game not knowing every detail of what to do and how to do it before it even comes out.

Delves need to have more allies to choose from than merely Brann, preferably from non-Elf Horde races. Not everyone likes to run around with a Dwarf.
Great Video, Thanks! Looking forward to information about Professions and how crafting will work since there was a major change to that in DF.
I liked the "knock one out over lunch time" lol
The Delves should also reward M+ like rewards like the possibility for mythic track gear in the vault. They really shouldn't limit it if they're serious about it as end-game. Just make that tier of it more challenging on par with M+ that provides myth track in the vault.
Looking forward to this. Dragonflight wasn’t bad (a huge step up from shadowlands) but something just didn’t grab me and I left after reaching max level.

@@thatepicwizardguy After doing raids for several expansions, they don't feel innovative at all anymore. It's always the same types of mechanics presented in a different way. I've always hated M+. The timer is stupid. The challenge should be just to clear the dungeon. Why should there be a rush? The "open world junk" is just junk, that's why it's not fun.
I wish Blizz did this for leveling: Replace all "kill X" quest with "collect X" quest WHILE adding harder mobs that drop more quest items than regular mobs. This makes sure casuals can faceroll as they do while others can get a shortcut that's actually challenging.
RBGs if its got a return on conquest even on losses it'd incentivize more players to partake sustaining more of a casual playerbase
9:00 what kind of weapon illusion is that ? looks good
Delves look really fun and hopefully bridge the gap between people who enjoy doing solo/world content with those that prefer to do group content like raiding and M+. Myself for instance I feel comfortable doing harder tier content but I don't enjoy everything involved with doing so with a group of players.
Did you hear about the filter, that you can't see any spiders? I like that.

When you have people in quest greens, and others in heroic/mythic raid gear that is 100 ilvls higher, I don't see how that would be possible unless they put gear scaling back into the open world.
Can't wait to lvl with my friends in single-player dungeons!
I loved that they are adding solo que BGs, Devs have said over years, that making Arenas was their biggest regret, due to being so hard to balance over each season.
I actually loved torghast powers, the only problem was that they were in torghast. It’s nice to see that the powers get a chance to come back now
Tonally correct (feels like WarCraft), with follow through (no random red herrings that mean nothing). The story could be the most standard RPG story-been-told ever. If it's on tone and there is follow through, it's good enough. Shouldn't be asking for just "good enough" but here we are. Edit: I really hope Delves don't end up just being "more numbers" as they increase in difficulty. That is SO boring. They already have stuff like M+ affixes, just expand on that idea (please don't implement affixes into delves). Plunderstorm is a good thing to take inspiration from - skillshots and things you can avoid or interact with.
I sort of wished WoW had adopted the GW2 WvW system but for horde vs alliance, or whatever they would want to do now. An often active map that lets you get solid rewards and plays in a large group with objectives.

ESO delves are literally just public instances with a single boss at the end. You enter the delve, just mindlessly rush to boss, get the kill and get out. Sometime they involve a single quest, but that's it. Don't compare it to what WoW has introduced.
food analogy, amazing analogy
Horrific visions were a GREAT model. More peoole=more enemy health= CAN avoid super punishing mechanics, even using cheater add-ons that mark everything for you, it was still Challenging AF if you chose it to be
My biggest hope for Warbands is that we can use our alts for the follower dungeons. I am finding the more info I heard about Delves the more I am liking them. I thought Choregast was going to be THE thing from Shadowlands and ended up hating them. I haven't felt this excited for an expansion since Legion
This feels like a patch with a new zone , not a NEW EXPANSION, I mean come on now...
I was excited for Dragonflight to get away from Shadowlands, and then very impressed by a lot of the QoL changes to the core game and now that has reinvigorated my excitement to see War Within
The “Character” he speaks of at the start is Mankrik. He just got remarried after finally finding love again all these years later. He is allergic to one of the ingredients in his wedding cake and kicks the bucket :(

Delves should be like Mythic+ in the sense that it gets endlessly harder but without timers. There should be a tier 25 Delve.
This looks like it will be the best expansion ever. I love PvP and primarly doing BGs, mostly solo queing... we have been starving for more of them for years. So excited about seeing new BGs AND never having to go into a dungeon again. Had 16 max level toons for most of DF and NEVER entered a single dungeon! Hope I don't have too in the new expansion.

Good lord, they better have a lot more in mind for those Delve tiers than flatly dialing up the health sponges and gear requirements. WoW needs to do away with all the conveyor belt gated content where your gear is your only form of progression. Like you said, there should be content and fights that challenge us to use our full kit of skills and talents. It should teach us how to play our characters and alts better. Not having to communicate and coordinate with a group of strangers already makes solo content much easier than normal dungeon content. They need to balance that solo content with a steep learning curve that isn't based on RNG.
They said that the big light crystal isnt sargeras s sword, but thats whats exactly is..
I'm happy to have harder delves, but I hope the only rewards are a higher ilevel of drops
So like a Borean Tundra starting zone?
Drink less, pack microphone more, or not. Thanks for the great content. love you guys.
So delves are like destiny lost sectors? Looks interesting if so

Right??? Feels like an impending reality for WoW. Best part of all, almost all races have npcs in the game that are full fledged tinkers already. So I can’t imagine anyone not being able to be it (besides maybe some of the more nature/druidic races) Gimme that Torbjorn, GW2 Engineer, HotS Gazlowe, mekkatoraque exo suit type gameplay!! Anyone who thinks “we already have engineering” is sorely lacking creativity. Warlocks and Demon Hunters co-exist, as does the Enchanting profession and Mages 😂
I dont mind the cc style gameplay i mena wows always been about cc. but i do enjoy more positional stuff. if an ffxiv vet played wow im sure theyd have no issue with positionals but highly lack any real cc mechanics, since... well a stun in ff is just like nothing. helps but not really. delves look p cool i guess. I just hope they dont muck it up like they ended up doing to torghast. i will say torghast makes sense to have a timer dude to it being much different since its an afterlife rather than real overworld stuff. but in a cave or delve. a timer would be kind of dumb. if an enemy is dead... its dead no way around it. and if i wanna live inside the cave, bet i could. if the timer is for an impatient dwarf, well that dwarf isnt really an adventuring treasure hunter after all.
