In the character select screen they should had done so that each class 'does' something specific. Maybe rogue crouching on top of a box, mage reading a book, warlock looking into a large green kettle and so on.

Making so much more stuff account wide is so important for the game in my opinion. I play rather casual but having to farm almost everything including transmog on multiple characters (if you got a leather piece of a plate wearer for example) is just killing so much fun for no reason. Im glad they are going this direction

Casual players like us who have a family and no longer have the time to go high, push ratings and sweat hard , relieve so much!! Looks like WoW is going up every single expansion and thats fantastic! Thanks for the video Kelani ❤

@ tgamer1510 seeing as they pay blizzard’s bills, and you unemployed losers have your daddies do it for you, I can’t see why they would cater to you.
Being able to pool resources between your alts is a HUGE QoL improvement.
I love the warbands concept. It would make me feel more comfortable playing a different class if he/she had past reputation grinds finished like my main does.
This looks great so far. thank you.
Getting excited! These are things ive been wanting them to do
This has by far been the best alpha video I've watched. You actually bothered to take the time to explain the warband screen for a start. Most others just seem to skip past it with a quick mention about it looking nice. Now I don't have to waste good moving chars onto one server since I can only use 4 on the warband screen. I can honestly say i can't remember the last time I was this excited for a new expansion in any game.
Thank you for the lack of story spoilers unlike some other people. 8'm honestly excited about all of the stuff so far.
This is glorious!
8:53 Nice to see Sir Finley Mrgglton in the game!
I’m excited about it all! Haha love the look of all of it ❤
100% top notch video. Ty for your hard work
🎉ty for the info.
I always enjoy your content. Thank you for making it.
Love it. Cant wait. Especially account wide.
Super excited for this expansion
This looks really cool so far
Looking pretty interesting so far.

I'm quite excited to test beta once it comes out. It's looking pretty good so far!
I love the existing crafting system, but we really need some form of knowledge catch up system added mid xpac.

Nah, it needs to be less scarce and have a weekly/bi-weekly increase. That way a person can be busy irl without feeling like they neglected their child. Which is a video game in this case roflmaolol
Account bound things across board is huge. Considering how big and long this game has been out it very needed.
cant wait to run around there as my druid!
They need to release account wide progress BEFORE the expansion launches. It's definitely going to have issues for one thing, but also we people have time to finish up things they have been putting off because they don't want to farm rep for the 4th time.
The account wide is awesome!!!
I'm a very casual solo player so I'm mostly excited for the delves. I'm definitely going to be farming the crap out of those! My only complaint is that it doesn't look like Brann can be a tank which makes no sense to me. I would have loved to see Brann tank for some of my characters, particularly my mage

Thank god they gave you Alpha access Kelani :). Would have been a shame if they didn't. I am very happy to watch this video and see some exciting stuff and so hyped to get into it myself. I already signed up for beta access so hopefully I get picked for that :). Cheers :).
imm gettin that wow itch. HOLY this looks so good. i luved the hero skills they showed during the showcase video. looked way better.
I would really love to see them make lower crests available to trade to your warbands. After you achieve the War Within version of "Dreaming of Wyrms" they should then be warbound and available to share across your other toons.
Delves, delves and more delves.
Best WoW news channel, by far. Congratulations.
hope kelani reach 1mil sub by the end of year
HOLY SHEET! This looks freaking amazing! I cannot wait!
Looks good
Sweet!
I do not like the 5 second cast switch between flight modes at all. At the moment I just keep one Dragonriding mount and one normal flying mount on my bar and switch between them depending on the situation. Most times I dragonride to a far destination and then switch to a normal flying mount to maneuver the last few feet with more precision. For example collecting treasures in Zereth Mortis, where chests are scattered across many different platforms, you can't initially make out while flying towards them with 5000mph. Hope it gets to be an instant cast, no problem with dismounting for it ofc
This honestly makes me excited for the xpac. I appreciate the soloing and alt quality of life changes, and the Arachnophobia option is great for those (like me) who are not the biggest fans of spiders lol.
Wait....Ground mounts now fly too? Hells yea!!!
I'm really looking forward to being able to unlock transmogs even if I can't equip them. That's gonna make my transmog farming so much better. I hope in the future we can get a version of delves reminiscent to scenarios where you go in with 2-3 people to do them and the difficulty scales accordingly. Think it would be fun to just have the option to bring a friend if I want or run solo as well.
“Can’t wait to see if we get more variations of the character screen background.” The shop button on the character screen tells me they’ll sell us many different variations in that way. 😂
Just one more thing... cross my finger and hope this one have a decent story to tell! Cheers🍻
Looks sweet
I am so excited for dynamic flight. Riding on that horse through the air looks AMAZING!
Everything looks great, i am so excited... That said, still not coming back untill we get human druids.. I know it's taking a while for everything to be created and set, the story has to be written. But getting inpatient.
This looks awesome. I'm still a little hesistant based on past Blizzard mistakes but it seems great so far.
This is looking great any word on the new race being added?
Recall my 4 best friends all buying wow at first day. We played for years, and stopped at WOTL. Man I miss those late nights, and weekends. Quests, Raids and. BG:s.
I always think about that poor lady who asked for account wide reputation at a blozzcon and was met with a smug "why do you want that" from a shitty developer Im glad accountwide things are happening.
I'm SUPER excited for this expac, way Way more than Dragonflight.
i can't wait to get my mechano-hog airborne and dragon-ride with it (:
Delves is pretty much torghast reskinned with some changes
I hope they make more stuff account wide. It would be nice if you need 50 of something for a mount it could be account wide. Yes the forbidden reach comes to mind. I have some on each toon lol
Is that dianlo style? Account wide bank and gold, GR challenges to get the rewards, and multiple chests in end of challenge!
15:18 - BEST! EXPANSION! EVER!!!!!! FINALLLYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! (now just do it for snakes too and all will be right in the world)
Arachnophobia mode that is hilarious! What an idea i am actually impressed!
As someone with multiple gold capped characters, I don't want account gold with a limit unless it is a billion or more
It's great to see flying being improved and being more of fun way to go in the Game. Also I can't wait to see other features this expansion has instore for us.
1 Being forced to do a dungeon, *character dies dramatically* You can do it solo at your own pace, *the pvper is instantly revived as going afk will be part of the strategy if/when needed depending on which design layouts Blizzard have chosen for said dungeon* 2 The fact they add account wide things this late just shows how great of a game WoW is. Pikaboo spoke about this in his latest PvP analysis video (released during 10.2.6) and I agree with him a 100% that WoW just is a game on a whole different level. It's just that Blizzard make choices that stop players from actually playing the game
Metzen came back and is making things right. High hopes are here again
I wish we could get a toggle button for level scaling!
Any chance you can select it per mount: one hotkey w a dragonriding mount and a second w old style, or hot key the swap
Hope to see more MMO features. Last few times i played it felt like World of Mutecraft and you barely would meat Players. Also accessibility for non Dragonflightplayers would be important to me, aswell as focusing on Azeroth for Content instead of seperating players in dozens of addons.
I'm hoping they can make the gold just flat out account-wide instead of having to put money in a mutual fund.

I would like to have both. I often dont want gold on my characters in case i accidentally buy something i shouldn't from the AH but i also dont want to constantly track gold on individual characters. Make the gold on your character account wide and let us deposit gold to the warband bank as well.
I am so ready to farm up professions again, I know a lot of people hated it, but besides m+ is the only thing I do in the game
They cooking
Remember to tip guys.
Love the warbands. Now give us the warband single player buffs to make it exactly like SW:TOR in this regard. 😬
i just hope i have enough time to do every thing i want to do. i want to do at least some season 4 content untill pandaria remixed releases and i want to test the war withing crafting stuff in the beta. o lord its gone be busy times
So, you only can do the bank and gear stuff with your 4 PJ from warbands?
14:36 Nooooooooo! 😢
The main thing i want from wow is RNG protection on fights like LK
i’m not even afraid of the WoW spiders, but i might just have to keep arachnophobia mode on for the crabs!! it’s so silly, i love it! i wonder if that only covers the WWI mobs, or if the northrend nerubians will be crab-ified too. maybe the webs will be turned into moss? either way, great addition to the game imo!
What about the spider mounts?
Don't know why static flying is locked again... theres no good reason for that. Flying into Zaralek Caverns was so annoying with this endless tunnel. Don't know why you'd repeat that. I hope the warband system won't disappoint and will use the full potential.
Hope we can loot Alleria for that bow 😂😮
So with Warbands you share renown and rep progression; what if you create a brand new character after a few weeks of playing and you put this in your warband - will this character instantly have the same renown/rep or will there be some sort of “catch up”?
Does dracthyr has Static fly? Or is affected by this?

account wide is huge. how has this not been implemented until now?
I really hope they give us the ability to change our professions specializations if we decided not to go that way. I have made a mistake in dragonflight, and it took me awaile to fix it. So i hope they give this to us
so I said this with Dragonflight, as its a clone to GW2, but now ... just look at this engenious "new" system ... 3:37, he'll jump on a mushroom that will throw him up ... now if that's not still cloning GW2 ... i don't know what is still waiting for the "puss off the cliff" effect from SWTOR mmo :D
Are all of your alts in the same realm, able to use the same warbands bank or is it just for the 4 characters in your warband group on the intro screen?
It’s a small thing but the arachnophobia filter is a really nice quality of life feature. Can they make one to change Kul Tirans into proper human models?
Where at on the map is the Isle of Dorn?
ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO FOLLOWER DUNGEONS WITH OUR OWN CHARACTERS?

@@jorgiotoldo8636 I hope it's coming. TBH, I'd like more advanced systems around the idea of controlling whole parties. And like.. a quick switch ability where all my characters on the field doing things for me and I can take direct control over them. Like.. Back to the roots of the Warcraft IP. Raids where people have to put their whole Warband to use in different places. Imagine encounters that don't just change phases, but places and enemies. 100 man Raid controlled by 25 people? I'll come back for that.
so is the camp scene with 4 toons just cosmetic and the warband stuff is ALL your toons, or is a warband just your 4 faves?
I am finally getting new character screen background but now I need updated modern idle animations for our characters when not moving and no auto sit on afk. Modernize.
I’m curious as to how the Nerubians will be interpreted by the crab filtering process?

I wonder if buying a token for gametime will take it from the warband bank, i have alt guild banks and kept most of my gold there and sometimes forget to withdraw before my gametime ran out and not having enough to get a token, thankfully when ticketing blizz they have given me 20 mins of gametime to be able to withdraw the gold but would be nice not having to worry about it
