New changes

I found an old notebook in a box and so I wanted to share some changes we're expecting to come through.

In patch 1.10 we're going to make it so that when you're at level cap completing quests will turn XP into gold. So that should be a good change, there will still be a reason to complete quests at max level. We're also going to update some items. In BRD almost all items are going to become blue quality, so that should be a nice upgrade for people. Also all bracers, belts, and gloves will be BoE. Which should help get more people geared up through the AH to tackle this difficult dungeon.

We'll keep you updated should we find any other old notes that are no longer new or exciting.

To expand on Bashiok's feedback, we'd also like to note that we're happy right now with priests feeling unique via their racial abilities. It's compelling gameplay for dwarf priests to get to keep Fear Ward to themselves.

Total Biscuit stated that he thinks Bashiok is losing his mind.

I see his analysis was correct. ♥

That would assume that there was a mind to lose to begin with. ;)

These are some good changes, but can we get a better way to manage keys? I hate having to cripple my inventory space by making room for keys, there should really be a keychain or keyring of some kind...

We like the physical nature of holding keys in your bags and bank. That said we are trying to reduce the number of keys given by attunements and required to enter dungeons and the like. In the future we hope that keys will be mostly temporary items, although that is subject to change. We're also trying to keep better tabs on the number of equippable items we're creating that dual-purpose as keys.

I really did find an old notebook. Seems a lot of people took this as some kind of pointed attack on their specific concern. That 'this is clearly aimed at X to make fun of people concerned about Y.' One person even claimed it was a trap to try to ban a bunch of people. (!)

We're going to make a lot of posts, and the vast majority probably won't be about your specific concern. And some will be fun. We're not robots. (I actually think Zar might be. I saw him drinking motor oil once.)

Sorry you didn't have fun reading it. :\ I thought it was a humorous look back at old changes we made. Anyway, I'll continue to make such lighthearted posts as they may come about. And I'll continue to bring information and meaningful replies when possible. There will always be serious concerns about the game, and there will always be a desire for us to be able to chat with you and joke around in-between gathering feedback and relaying info. I find that to be the opposite of insulting.

I feel like warriors are popping enrage too much, any answers in the mystical notebook?

Priests are one tough cookie.
