Hierlooms

[Trollguden]

I was reading abit on mmo-champion about the new expansion and found something interesting, I'll post it here in case ppl have missed it. In the new expansion I will finally be able to create even more twinks and not having to farm hierlooms all night long.

"Heirlooms -

Heirlooms are now truly cross-realm and account-bound. All characters on the account (new and old) will be able to summon the heirlooms that have been unlocked straight into their inventories!"

I have no idea when this game will come out tho... prob a year or something, some stuff seems really cool.

such a good change, and needed since they implemented looms in the first place

This was posted in the general twink section also. Good thing it was put here too so more can read about the changes.

This is great news. They were talking about achieving this goal (along with the "Aerial Dogfights" as promised on the WOTLK box - Go check there's even a picture of that as a key feature) since they released BOAs in WOTLK.

My only question is how this would work with enchantments and transmogs. I would hope that boas will not exactly retreat to an account wide interface as that would most definitely wipe all transmogs and enchantments.

The best way to achieve this would be to make BOAs "unlock" from a vendor on all realms once purchased initially.

Then there would probably need to be a way of preventing characters from littering their bags with nothing but boas for whatever the reason. It would not make sense if boas could be created with no currency deposit. The easy way to make that not occur would be to make boas unique which would be incredibly horrible but blizzard has made worse moves in the past.

Just my 2c on the situation and I'm excited for more information as to how this feature will be introduced to accommodate for the various range of boa users, from twinks to levelers and everything in between.

As of the release date for WoD it's expected to be anywhere from June - August as that would be the most financially advantageous moment as this expansion is carrying one very important goal: get back as many subs as possible. With that in mind a longer beta would make more sense as Blizzard would be at a loss of subscriptions if the game had negative reviews out of the gate. Where as if there are very few bugs, it will gain a very positive response by the means of mass psychology.

(around 6 months of beta testing, releasing at the start of the summer so student subscriptions could resume)

Again all purely based on my best guesses. Merely giving my opinion as to what possibilities there may be.

What I'm thinking of is some type of deterrent from having 192038182 boas in your bags. I doubt that blizzard would let that go completely up to the user. Not as it's an advantage or anything, but just because it would have the same effect of filling your bags with food which you then needed to remove stack by stack (until they gave a limit)

For some reason I could see people filling their banks and bags with boas and then complaining to Blizzard about having to delete them all one by one lol.

Blizzard is already rolling out the xrealm heirlooms. My server got merged and are able to mail boas to my toons on the merged server. Also guild, gold everything works xrealm with this server so yeah i can see this comming for all. I am lucky tho that i play on a dead server but it shows that blizzard did alot already for making this work. Positive thing is i also have 11 more char slots!
