Lead Encounter Designer on World of Warcraft, Morgan Day, was interviewed on a live stream about the upcoming Shadowlands expansion, Covenant Utility and more.
Especially regarding Covenant Energy, Morgan pointed out that the team in fact reviews this internally
and regularly to stabilize concerns. Morgan mentions that it’s the team’s job to guarantee
that players have the tools needed for battle.
In addition, it’s the team’s responsibility to make certain any kind of puzzles developed are solvable with those gamer tools, consisting of things like Covenant skills. Morgan stated that the problem occurs when the puzzles merely stops working during encounters. This will certainly lead to class piling. For example Ragnaros Stage 2 needing Ruptured AoE, but with Phase 3 calling for something else.
We don’t have an update yet on Shadow Priests from Morgan, yet it’s on the team’s near future plans. The interview additionally covered off the incoming test build which will have all Covenant skills and they can be evaluated in Torghast. You can watch the interview listed below.
