I wanted the login screen to be of Hallowfall with the crystal, and once in a while, it would turn purple. And then maybe a zeppelin flying by once in a while.

Imagine if the login screen changes over time as the expansion progresses, that would be very cool!

I think it's not the real screen. Something will break through that and be the actual log in screen on launch date.

YES! the increase in macro slots will big. As a healer I used them to create mouseover macros and conditional macros depending on if it'll help, harm, or rez and ally. I would even had 'alt' modifying for CDs off the GCD. Sometimes it was a special button to just heal or effect whoever was in focus. I wasn't big into using healing addons so I did what I could to give my buttons flexibility within the blizz UI. It's a lot of work and paid off.

honor being basically account bound will be huge for pvp popularity come luls in content in war within

Possibly that log in screen wall will burst open on launch, revealing something else behind it.

They shoulda made Zalatath's eye/face the login screen with her smirk. Just sitting there eye fkng us.

I think the log-in screen is a placeholder, because the real log-in screen will contain a spoiler until the expansion goes live.

Technically, Li-Li Stormstout should be a young adult pandaren by now, going by what we know of the pandaren lifespan- which seems to be roughly the same as humans and orcs. It's 10 years since MoP, and the last time we saw her was in Legion merely two years later, during the monk Class Order Hall campaign. That, plus the three- year timeskip should at least put Li-Li in the same stage as the newbie pandaren characters on the Wandering Isle, though her experience would be much higher at this point. I'm just waiting for Blizz to re- introduce her as a cute and badass windwalker or mistweaver monk. Both would work.

I love the macro slots, i NEEDED those. Im playing with modifier macros, and use them for focus/party/arena or just other abilities. Was constantly running out of macro space 🙏

The login screen would be cool IF it evolved with each tier as the story progresses. Like the center of the wall that is cracking eventually blasts apart and void energy flies through it or some shit.

I just started playing again after only ever getting to level 40ish max before on various toons. Now with things on the horizon and MoP Remix im enjoying the game more than ever before. With both normal characters and Remix ones

thye could have the big sword and thrall looking at it with anduin as a login screen would been sick

For macro: I play druid. Every spec the macros are needed so they don't just bleed across to all char instead of specific. Very happy about it. Hope they add more talent builds too, I have to keep deleting builds to make room for more

The login screen needs to be the damn sword off in the distance...

I feel like the login screen will change as the story unfolds via patches

I use a lot of macros. For all classes they are mainly macros for @cursor and @player reticule abilities, quite a few @mouseover macros for certain DoTs, HoTs, heals, and instants, some stop-casting and @focus macros for interrupts, a few for target-of-target macros (most for Disc Priest), talent choice macros for double on-use choices that don't auto-swap. Some utility macros for targeting or using special items. And for my Druid main a movement macro that picks the best form for movement depending on where I am.

I use all my Macro slots on guild jokes. We have a shaman named loss so I made the loss meme as one. etc. Very excited for more memes

Login screen is just like vanilla and TBC when it was just the portal. I think it looks clean and not busy. Plus I’m sure it’s going to adjust as we progress the saga

Login screen couldve been the crystal alternating every so often but we get a hearthstone thing :(

They should make the login screen reactive to the % of main story you have completed: adding special npcs as you meet them

imnot gonna lie... i hope Johnny awesome is one of the crafting order npcs and i hope he spends all his big bucks for my craftmanship.

It warms my heart to see our brothers back.

Hoping for Ultrawide support on Warbands - feels weird to see black bars on paarts of the game in 2024

I like the login screen personally

Glad to hear it, just came bk

I just looked at a video where they did a compilation of the wow log on screens..here my suggestion..allow the player to choose from option of what they want there login screen to be from one of the past expansions or create a long on screen depicting..the 20 th anniversary of wow.

the gossip window that opens during gameplay at 14:18. What is that? an addon? a new change?

MORE MACRO SLOTS?! YES! I was beginning to worry.. I max out char macro slots on every alt, and sometimes have to dip into the global account one. This'll be great for me.

The increase in Macros is game-changing for my RP characters. I use them for everything from quick emotes, repetitive dialog, and toys.

I think we all know something is going to come bursting through the cracked wall login screen as the story progresses throughout the expansion.

Her eyes not only look like a solar eclipse, they are at the “diamond ring” stage where the sun is very close to being uncovered.

From the brief showing of it I loved the new loading screen I am a big fan of the simpler the better I have not been a big fan of the wow loading screens for years due to how busy they were. But this one seems better if they stick with it sometimes for me at least the simpler the better.

What was that add-on he used for the quest giver at the end there? The zoom in RPG esque one

All I want for the login screen is The Smirk

I am so fucking happy that the Chinese are getting WoW back.

I love how Bell couldn't quite keep a straight face through that ad segue 😂

as a resto shaman main, who is currently 500gs and just over 2k M+, unless im in a +6 or higher, i actually roll as Enhancement because everyone, especially DH and Pally tanks, are out healing me.

Login screen should have been in Silithus looking at the sword.

I do wonder why it's taken them THIS long to implement the shaman changes... it's been basically silent ever since they implemented the totemic tree. I do hope it's major, because they REALLY need some major fixes and changes.

This is case and point of why great UX/Product Designers are worth their weight in gold.

I assume that log in screen will shatter as you log in, and with most logins being from the Bnet launcher, it will probably go directly to that animation

Finally shaman getting some love!

I'm a man of many macros. Not only do I EXCLUSIVELY play outlaw which is just....a bit TOO MANY buttons, but I also make dedicated macros for mounts by theme and pvp toys and tricks and got a few lingering for the many many alts I have but don't really play.

Can someone tell me which Addon is used at 14:16 when the camera zooms in on an NPC with a black paper UI?

Ive seen chinese gradually playing on NA servers over the past few months since the announcement.

the macro increase is HUGE

It really funny I'm in love with dornagol..and the earthen are really starting to grow on me even the the brann's family I starting to really like them..and the voice acting is nice..the earthen basically are rock robots!!!..that's awesome 👍👍👍

This might be bad take but I kind of like the log in screen. It's really clean

cosmology map login screen is sick

If you play arena (or most any rated PvP) then you can easily run up to the macro cap!

controversial opinion maybe? I love the login screen. kinda like when youre logging in, youre opening up the cracks haha.

You think maybe the login screen will gradually change per season? That would be cool lol

blizz goatse'd us with the login screen

Ehh I play a demo lock main since they've had demo, so not too worried about the leech/avoidance cuts. I've always been a turret and will continue being a turret, lol. I would like to see fire mages go back to being glass cannons just to hear the whimpers, lol.

Is Hunter now the only class that didn't keep a covenant ability? Considering the one we kept was the sectond-least-common anyway it wasn't much. I really do not understand why we didn't get to keep some version of Wild Spirits...

Regarding the commercial. As soon as i hear the term "AI", i tune out.

Lets be honest, we're not looking at the login screen any more, the BNET launcher takes you straight to your characters.

Pretty bummed out, no news on druid bears. You said in a previous video you'd go over it when changed come out but just been silent on it.

I rarely ever see the login screen as I use the launcher and it just skips that for the most part. It looks fine for what it is. For all we know they could be using this for War Within, Then next expansion Midnight that seal is broken and more is added to it, Then Final Titan increases it further

Only thing I want from the crafting system is the ability to recraft publicly. If you arent on a massive server or at the beginning of a patch, trade chats are dead for trying to find someone who can recraft higher end gear. They could make it require a commission of 5k and I would still be up for that instead of taking a week or two to get someone who responds.

As long as a dragon isn't gonna randomly scream in my ear after getting dc'ed: ill take the kinda shit login screen.

I bet that login screen will break and get sucked into a void portal when the game goes live

I wish we could pick our log in screen

My glimmer! Noooooooooo

The login screen is good.

I wonder if remix characters will be added to retail in time to do prepatch content. Anyone know?

There's a giant glowing crystal in one of the new zones... I have no idea why the login screen isn't showing that off...

idk...Paladin isn't saved until Holypower goes away. Feels like it'd be a worthwhile debate and conversation to have with Devs to figure out who like Holypower and who hates it.

Why the new loading screen is different than the old one - Well, because the old ones actually told the story. We loved Wotlk, Pandaria, Legion loading screens. This is pretty much doing nothing for the players and doesn't give that excitement I had when I entered the game and had seen the two Fel guards in front of the Tomb of Sargeras and it was the 1st patch (ToS wasn't even out yet). Man, that was exciting.

...So...how much does a NA or EU guild get for being W1st?

It's going to break...the login screen...

Can we get the LOREMASTER merges in prepatch ? And i think the only way is that you must mark your LOREMASTER character that gets the progress done total, other charaacters get only dailies and weeklies and similarities. I have alrdy chosen my Draenei Hunter for the job. And maybe i start Belf Hunter for the Horde experience.

There’s no way that’s the finalized login screen. That’s a trap. A bait n switch. They threw it out to give people something to complain about so our expectations aren’t too high for the actual log in screen.

Reducing leech is fine whatever, sucks but I get it especially as a healer. But gutting avoidance is CHEEKS. Because at the highest end in m+ you NEED that shit so great now I need twice as much of it to do the same as it was doing, it just makes it even more valuable. At least as far as I can tell they have not changed scaling with ilvl, which means if you get a drop or vault slot with leech or avoidance as a tertiary it'll still scale with ilvl so it's still going to get pretty high.

I like the login screen 🤷‍♀

Where can I watch that li li video

When it comes to crafting orders for the average peon… - we expect players to place a crafting order regardless of there being no resources provided. - there was plenty of resources for literally anyone to make anything - crafting orders never shows up for all players on that server to fulfill, therefore it won’t get filled - crafters will provide the resources for a crafting order as an option. If it doesn’t work this way, we won’t use it

They should let you pick and choose login screen and music from current and older expansions. My favourite is Vanilla screen and music, can sit staring at it for hours :)

Let me ask…who actually sees the logic screen since they added the launcher forever ago?

the login screen doesn't look like a wall it looks like a lock perhaps the final lock on Azeroth's prison

Rather dissepointed that we dont get a login screen with the cave zone. Dark cave with plants and stuff. Human city in the background and the big crystal flashings its difrent lights. Abit of a shame but we might still be suprised. I still have hope. If they dont do such athing then they can add a option to batlle net where we can choose login screen. Definatly gonna be pandaria or DF. Also a shame that we dont see a improvement on loading backgrounds. Plenty of the characters from eastern kingdom and kalimdor is gone in some way.. so they should give new art feautiring the races of the zones. Being horde. Alliance. Or just the races who live there naturaly. Like putting the focus back on the races instead of the leaders of the factions

There should be machanic in wow if you don't disrupt all team in raid or m+ is feared and walking away

Come on Blizzard speed up my Feral Druid!

So does this mean crafting in wow doesn't become a second job?

"Turbo cheese" 😂

It looks like the Login Screen is meant to progress as time goes by and shatter

Login screen definitely should of been either an off focus shot of the sword or a view of the crystal in hallowfall that changes from light to void on screen. This is easily the worst login screen of all time.

Just out of curiosity, do Chinese players keep their old characters?

I have better idea how to fix scaling of stats getting our of hand. How about remove ot atlest reduce difficulty levels?

Never thought death chakra fitted hunters tbh. Glad its going.

Legion still best login screen

Thank god the login screen is the worst offender in Beta. Not covenants, soul ash, soul binds, aoe cap….we’re in the best of times!

Nice login screen.. This is a mobile game?

The comments on the UX of the login screen are completely moot. Comparing it to a RU-vid thumbnail, where you try to get users to take an action you want but is not required, is completely different from requiring someone to enter their username to access a game they just spent $49-$89 on. It's not like you'll be confused or put off by it and then leave, especially when I'd wager 90%+ of the population just has auto sign-in enabled. If anything, you could argue accessibility, but even that is a stretch as the contrast difference between the field's background and the image meets accessibility requirements.

oh a wall

How bad are rogues looking?

Illidan-US about to be empty

i actually really like the new login screen. its nothing crazy but gives the vibe of a new era for WoW.
