In an interview with TechRadar, Blizzard discusses WoW: Forever classes, modern WoW races, and Summoning Stones.
TechRadar had an interview with Blizzard on WoW: Forever and released information across multiple articles. We've summarized some of the key points from their articles:
Class Design
- Blizzard is not looking to modernize WoW: Forever classes.
- They don't want to overhaul the Classic classes that players are familiar with.
- Classes should be simpler but have engaging depth.
- They like the pacing and combat speed of original WoW.
- They do not want cheap respecs. The price will climb quickly and reset once per week.
Encounter Design
- The encounter team played a lot of Classic dungeons and raid content to understand how it felt.
- Classic encounters were very approachable.
- They want to still be creative and surprise the player, but they want everyone to return to the core pillars.
Races
- There are no plans to add Retail races to WoW: Forever.
- They want to build the game off of the foundational lore.
Summoning Stones
- Quick access to teleports shrinks the World.
- It also intrudes on part of the class identity of Warlocks.
