We've made a change to Skirmish in Legion. Rather than having two separate buttons (2v2 and 3v3), there is only one button and it will put you in either 2v2 or 3v3 depending on a number of factors. Our experience with the separate buttons in Warlords was that you would often end up in 2s match where only one team had a healer or a 3s match with triple DPS. Neither of these situations felt very fun and the reality is there are far less healers playing than damage. We want Skirmishes queues to pop fast but allow for pretty fair fights.

In Legion, healers specs are always placed in 3v3 matches while damage specs are placed in either 2v2 or 3v3 depending on what is available. This means 2v2 skirmishes will never have healers in them and 3v3 matches will always have healers on each team.
So much for couples that liked to play 2's

Desvin

Thanks for making this post. You are right that we are starting to take a look at damage and we welcome any feedback about tuning that you have.

Desvin

Battleground are not launching because there are not enough people queuing for them. Our plan is to temporarily disable skirmishes when we launch beta to get some focused battleground testing while concurrency is high.

Desvin

Will low level characters completing battlegrounds be unlocking pvp talents as they go?

I hope so.

You should remove the "honour" experience bar from low levels then.

Desvin

Pretty sure this (Relentless) needs to be 30-33% to be a viable contender.

As is I'd bet a large sum of money it will never be picked.

Desvin

We aren't planning any changes to how Honor Talents and Prestige work in Ranked Play. The cost and conflict is intentional. It's important that in order for Prestige levels to feel prestigious, there is a high cost to doing it. You do not have to Prestige. There is no competitive advantage to doing it. There are rewards but they are entirely cosmetic. If you see someone with a high Prestige level, we want you to know they went through a lot to get it.

Affliction Warlock

Celestalon

Not entirely feedback, but there's no good place to ask this and it effects future feedback so:

Can we get a confirmed value on Agony's soul shard proc rate for affliction? In previous expansions the information was available in spell data on the nightfall passive, but there doesn't seem to be any spell data for Agony's proc rate anymore.

I did a couple thousand tick test awhile back and got an estimate around 13.5% but any modeling of the spec will be estimation without spell data or a confirmed value.

Now that we got some Blue posting in Affliction feedback thread. Can we get an explanation to the Legion re-design of Unstable Affliction spamming. I've leveled a 3rd Affliction lock on alpha, and I am already seeing myself incredibly bored and unappealed with this weird focus of spamming Frostbolt---I mean Unstable Affliction.

Sidenote: I play 3 Aff locks on live, I need to know if I have the tolerance to fast level 3 Aff locks at launch.

Anyways... Was this design solely made on paper, and not exercised prior to presenting it to the Affliction Warlock playerbase? I don't feel like a warlock, I feel like a Frost Mage. I love the talent tree, it has so much potential depth. I love the tanky-ness, does give me a more resilient. That UA spamming though... I don't know how long I can muster playing that style of DPS. One of the reasons I rolled out of Mage in p1.8 and embraced the Affliction in 1.9. ALL HAIL! THE ONE TRUE GOD, FOREDOOMED!Unstable AfflictionUnstable AfflictionUnstable AfflictionIs the ramping soulshard proc chance on agony different for each individual Agony or is it based on all agony's you have out?AgonyHoly Paladin

Next build should fix two bugs regarding , although we can't be certain if they're what caused your issue, so please let us know if it keeps happening.
--For a while the spell has correctly worked if it absorbed 2 simultaneous damage events, only letting one of them damage you to the threshold. That wasn't working correctly if you took more than 2--such as in a large instantaneous raidwide AoE--which should be fixed now.
--It should no longer kill you if it absorbs a large damage event at the exact moment Divine Shield fades.

There's one other known issue regarding players of different levels, but that should not significantly impact testing.

Comment by 968833This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by SilverSapphireSo the rat mount only works in the Underbelly?

All i have to say about that is FU Blizzard FU!Comment by SHO57Bear run animation doesnt really fit imo?Comment by ironhoofFinally, the new "bear" form reveals it's true self. It's always looked like a giant rat.Comment by HarmanLightbaneSince it doesn't have a unique model, honestly i'm not too upset that it isn't a permanent mount. But I wish it was permanent, and had increased swim speed and running speed.
When the rat mount was first datamined, i told all my friends that I knew for a fact this was going to be fished out of the sewers. That rats no one caught in WotLK stayed there, training, waiting.....Comment by Knetog"Current thinking: Mythic dungeons available right away; scaling keystone system unlocks alongside raiding."

Would this not make the first raid a lot more easier than intended if that's the case? :/Comment by ormodThey really like to just throw skulls on everything. Too bad it is so limited.Comment by AstraniaBear run animation doesnt really fit imo?Comment by DharayI'm very dissapointed the rat mount won't be a "normal" mount. Was looking forward to ride on it around the world on several characters :(Comment by Atratzu"summon a mount which only works in the Underbelly"
*sigh*... This'll be just as fun as the mounts in AQ40. Once the expansion is done all is forgotten. :-/Comment by sgtevmckayA rat...LOL

I think we need a lizard type mount that can climb up and around Cliff sides and ceiling walls.
Similar to the Varactyl used in Star Wars.

This lizard type critters can run/walk on horizontal or vertical surfaces, shoot; it can even hold a passenger and hangout upside down.
Truly an all-terrain non-flight mount.

Would love to see something like that ;)Comment by RockwellHThis lizard type critters can run/walk on horizontal or vertical surfaces, shoot; it can even hold a passenger and hangout upside down.

Would love to see something like that ;)

So much thisComment by CastrumBlizz using their logic skills again to great effect. Go through all that effort for a temporary mount that can only be used in one small area. Are other mounts at least restricted down there? Or is this just Blizz wasting our $15/month on pet projects?Comment by ChaxtonI would spend HOURS fishing in Dalaran if the rat was a real mount. HOURS. Whoever designed the rat mount needs to get a serious slap in the face for not making it a proper mount.Comment by DasGokuguyRat only usable in a place a rat should be in.....damn you tito watts!Comment by 8unnyDisappointed about the mount and possible mythic dungeons right away ;/Comment by KyliniI want that toy, right now.Comment by KendrubbinA necklace with gem slots? Does this mean we might actually get gem slots and enchants back on gear again, WoD really made that boring as hell for an enchanter/jewelcrafter - granted, every profession was boring regardless in WoD.Comment by KyrethIn Legion, healers specs are always placed in 3v3 matches while damage specs are placed in either 2v2 or 3v3 depending on what is available. This means 2v2 skirmishes will never have healers in them and 3v3 matches will always have healers on each team.Comment by ZNastyI love that rat mount, I was so excited and now I see it's only usable in that one area? *sigh* So disappointed.
