MacMillanwu: We've been looking at ancillary systems to fill the gap

"We discovered in the last few years that we've been looking at ancillary systems to fill the gap, which is caused by taking that one talent point per level," Hazzikostas said. "Things like Artifact Power, the Heart of Azeroth and the like. We just wanted explore the building blocks of the player's character and their customization. The launch of WoW Classic a few years ago also gave a refreshing review of the ways in which systems like are used in the modern day. A lot of the strengths are still there with WoTLK Classic Gold. Much of the customisation, the granularity, is present. But I'm sure we've found that today's players regardless of the game they are playing, striving to be more efficient, trying for ways to solve problems using information in particular situations. They want the flexibility to adapt to different specifications. The system we are introducing in Dragonflight I see it as the most ideal of all options. It's returning the customization and profundity and nuance of structure of the tree of talents we had in the beginning and is able to solve certain of the issues we encountered."

Alongside a freshening of classes the entire interface for WoW will be getting a major update as the only time it's been since the game's release almost two decades ago, with the aim of allowing it to be extremely flexible and designed with current displays in mind. Blizzard will not let players feel they must use player-made add-ons to have a UI which is suitable for them but it will be an option for players who desire it.

"We want to make sure anyone who is a new player who's playing World of Warcraft for the first time, that you are experiencing a design that is still grounded with World of Warcraft traditions but crisp and modern and not as if it's a relic of the old-school, heavy- WOW WoTLK Classic Gold and Blizzard user interfaces from more than 20 years back," Hazzikostas said.
