FinalbossTV and Preach got to interview Ion Hazzikostas and Steve Aguilar about sockets on Benthic gear, Soulbinds, the Anima Grind, factions and more!
Listen to the full interview on Youtube!
Make sure to watch the full
interview on FinalbossTV's
channel. These are rough summaries of some of the questions and answers.
Was Sockets on Benthic Gear a Whoopsie?
Ion: Yes. Once it was out there and people started earning them, it was too late to take it back. The power of sockets in general compared to item level especially on secondary and tertiary slots is kind of out of hand right now.
Can you respec your Soulbind?
Soulbinds are meant to be swapped easily, you can only have one with you at a given time and Soulbinds are supposed to be horizontal progression. If you make choices in their individual trees, that is likely to be respeccable but not quite as fluidly.
For Covenants, think Aldor/Scryer. You regret your choice and can switch but it's not I'm going to be
Venthyr
for this boss,
Kyrian
for this boss and then
Night Fae
for Mythic+ tonight. You will be able to, it'll be a cost. It is NOT a "I'm going to go back and forth."
What steps are you taking to ensure that players don't feel pigeon-holed into a certain covenant?
They're aware that when there's a simple choice, there's always a mathematical right answer. Where they think they're succeed is that it's a bucket of many choices. When a covenant consists of a range of perks, a couple of active abilities and Soulbinds which each have their own range of perks within them, we get to a point where we think there isn't a clear right answer. Broadly, we think there's isn't one, but in specific situations there will probably be a best choice.
In Legion and BFA, new systems were added with every patch. Will the same be done for Shadowlands?
Hopefully not. In Legion, they didn't plan for long term with the artifact so they needed to add more traits and Netherlight Crucible. In BFA, the Essence system was in response to the feedback. The idea is that there may be horizontal or vertical expansions to the Covenants system, but no new systems will be added.
With Alliance and Horde using the same Covenants, what is the status of the factions?
While both factions will have the same Covenants, there is an uneasy tension. There is separation and there is no cross faction talk. It's similar to the Class Halls from Legion.
The factions can put aside their differences sometimes like Lich King and Deathwing but at the end of the day Alliance and Horde is a foundation pillar in the World of Warcraft franchise. War Mode is staying.
What is Anima and can you talk about the Anima Grind?
There's a lot of questions they're still figuring out but they're moving away from open-ended infinite progression with Diminishing returns to a place with more easily attainable caps and open ended flexibility.
In your Covenant Sanctum, you'll do various activities and retrieve Anima. The first little bit every week will keep the lights on in your Covenant Sanctum and that will further and strengthen your Soulbind. As long are you're doing that every week, you're optimal. For catch-up, it's not a mathematically driven formula, but you can see things like Full Talent points on a World quest or something.
Anima should be a minimal amount to be optimal and the rest can be used on utility or cosmetics.
