Legion - Pre-Expansion Quests
Now that everyone has had a chance to read the comic, we are taking a look at some more of the pre-expansion quests. The new crystal model for Magni Bronzebeard is used here, along with a visit to Ulduar and Karazhan.

Frost Death Knight -- Legion Beta Feedback
Hey all. We've seen the discussion about bugs with Frost DK damage (most notably Rime proc chance), and so I wanted to stop by and let you know that we are aware and fixing several bugs with Frost DK damage over the next build or two.
Rime had 3 chances to proc per Obliterate, several new abilities only used your base 5% crit chance, and the Ambidexterity artifact trait was affecting MH damage, among a few other minor bugfixes. Sindragosa's Fury is also getting a tiny buff. These fixes will obviously affect throughput, and we'll be adjusting tuning with them in mind. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

If we removed everything that someone didn't like, there'd be no game. We can make competitive alternatives instead. (Celestalon)
I've become very attached to the old pet model, and whilst I like the new one, it's not my old pal. The pic is Live vs PTR.
Good news! All of the old models will be available on various rare spawns in the world, you will be able to re-create Sooty. (Muffinus)
Mounts
Legion brings so many great mount models, but many aren't available to players. Please don't forget them!
Trying to add more different mount styles instead of making all of the colors available to keep them feeling more special/unique (Muffinus)
Much feedback in Warlords that too many recolors were used, agreedo (Muffinus)
Professions
are you working on archaeology on beta #legion? If so, is it intended to get suramar dig sites prior to hitting 110?
I am not, but my sources tell me that it is intended, and intended to be difficult if you head there while levelling (Muffinus)
I didnt attempt the dig sites in Suramar, they just changed on their own. That supposed to happen? Daily rotation?
Yep! Like world quests, they rotate. (Muffinus)
Camera
Understand your view on the camera, but can CVar still be available to adding? DynamicCam has made levelling in beta so great!
Will look into that; the intent was to cap the value, not eliminate interaction with it. Agree that DynamicCam is a cool addon. (WatcherDev)
Misc
does the Mad Merchant spawn in random places? Want to buy it on beta to see it in game to see if I want to buy it when live
One spot, but shows up rarely (Muffinus)
Ghostcrawler Tweets
Ghostcrawler still occasionally talks about WoW. Remember that he no longer works for or speaks for Blizzard.

It probably made it harder for other games to innovate because their publishers might be leery of making something too different. (OccupyGStreet)
But smart people ultimately realize that games are never dethroned by exact clones. MMOs should be innovating more IMO. (OccupyGStreet)
