Just going to lump a lot of these smaler and more varied Blizzard threads into this post for now. There’s a lot going on today and especially tomorrow in regards to Blizzcon. I know I;ll be providing some excellent coverage from the event as well as the trip to get there!
Arena testing and bug exploits
As to Arenas, yes we are getting much more testing now. Unfortunately it doesn’t take much to derail that testing, such as the Typhoon bug, or the POM Pyro bug, or the current weapon multiplier bug. That’s the kind of thing that happens in a beta, but it has a much harsher effect when players are trying to beat other players than it does when players are questing or doing raids. (src)
Pet balancing and GCD
I would like to try a pet model at some point where the pets were sturdy and easily healed, but contributed much less of the total dps (like 15-25% instead of 30-40%).
The GCD, as I’ve said, is a good deal trickier. If anything, we regret a little pulling some abilities off of the GCD because that opened the barn door for other requests to remove things from it. (src)
Glyphs pass soon
The glyphs weren’t finalized until late, and we had already done a lot of testing and balancing then. They are also a little tricky to adjust because the intent is that they do change what you do slightly, instead of just buffing the buttons you’d already push.
But we plan on doing a pass on them soon. (src)
Sorting mounts under the “Mounts” tab
We’ll try to get some improvements in over time. It’s not our highest priority UI feature, however. (src)
Much more coming in a little bit so stay tuned.
