I have a question for Sean. What is your favorite thing about this expansion coming up? Also, you may have answered this one in the past or in other locations, but I can't recall, so I'm going to ask it again - what class is your main, and what do you love about it?

I noticed that I can no longer get older quests to finish off the campaign deeds. Is this something on my end or is it no longer possible to get old/missed deeds?

scathias · August 2016

Is Fangbreaker Island going to be an account unlock like Edemo was? that was an incredibly nice thing, to be able to do the campaign full bore on only 1 toon and unlock it on everyone so that the rest of your alts could take the campaign at a more spread out pace that didn't make you want to murder the person who though dailies were a good idea on 5 toons

gankdalf · August 2016

Are we gonna get ANY new weapons (not transmutes) and if so, what kind? Will they be better than current artifact weapons?

What kind of loot does Fangbreaker Island have? Anything that can be farmed and sold for AD profits? Not talking about rank 7/8s, but real value items? And how is the drop rates compared to Edemo and CN? Because Ive run like CN and edemo probably 300 times now and only got one legendary ring (not the one I wanted).

WHEN will we see our old dungeons back in EPIC versions for ENDGAMERS?

And the most important question:
Will you do anything about the self-healing we have in PvP domination today? Because PvP is not fun anymore. Nothing ever dies.

What gear can we get from this dungeon? You guys mentioned it would be best in slot.. I just want to understand what slot and why? What is Voninblood and is this infusion a throw back to the unsuccessful Icewind dale style armor black ice infusion with black ice resistance?

wurmschwanz · August 2016

@metalldjt

valwryn · August 2016

I Triple Dog Dare Strummy to lick the Frozen Coccoon!!! >:)

drive9876 · August 2016

Hey, I do want to know about Melee HR (necessary)changes, right now it is almost useless it has to be rlly improved

theguiido · August 2016

@strumslinger @commanderander Will we see a better Queue system based on Item Level or gear? and will we see some BETTER rewards in some of these dungeons? as well as over all? such as easier obtainability of legendary rings, better chances to receive items? Will we see more PvP maps and modes? More content?

vjarl · August 2016

Will there be SH donatables in the new areas? Vouchers, campaign currencies, etc. And if so what kind? Dragon, IWD, DR, etc.

goatfaceone · August 2016

1. Will there be any new 2 slot companion only gear with Storm King’s Thunder?
2. Can Xbox (and ps4?) get access to Loyal companion gear? Trade Bars or even Zen Pack
3. Could Tiamat get same treatment as Epic Demo, where it can be done at anytime?
4. Could the amount of Linu's Favor needed be adjusted, like to competed them with alts someday

Do either of you play the game on xbox, or is that kinda like a mailman going for a hike (too much like work). If you do. please come play with us in the Ruthless guild.

shivakid · August 2016

Will you guys ever fix that clipping issue with 90% of the cosmetic items? I get aggravated when I make a perfect outfit, and then my toon's shoulders clip through it. Other than that, I have no major issues with this game.

dratomic1 · August 2016

Will we get the ability to turn visual effects of armor and weapon enchantments off for at least PvE environments? It's so silly trying to create a character that only looks good on the charactersheet because the enchantment effects are overruling all coloring and matching you did...

truckula · August 2016

Here is what I would like to see added to the game.

FASHION CLOSET

Yes, I know it sounds silly. Yes, I know this sounds useless. However, bear with me a moment. For each fashion outfit you wish to wear you have to dedicate three slots in your inventory. Even if you have the runic bags, this will eat up your inventory in a hurry. There are tons of outfits in the store, every event comes with an outfit, in fact most major events come with two or three outfits. The Liars Masquerade comes with a bunch of masks to wear as well. Some of us really like to change the outfits on our toons on a regular basis.

Here is how it could (read should) work.

The closet should have three tabs. One for each slot
All available clothing outfits should be displayed in each tab.
All pieces should be shown in a locked state, but you should be able to preview each item.
As each new piece of fashion is equipped it should then be unlocked.
Players should be able to test out pieces from all three tabs with a preview model on their toon, with the option to save any changes as they go or when they are finished.
Saving will only work for unlocked items.

Here are some optional ideas that could be nice (future) additions.

The closet is an account wide unlock. (Possibly for a small zen fee.)
Upgrades to clothing much like the insignias for the horses.
Possible small set bonuses.
A companions closet where different sets of clothing for similar racial classes. (IE no dog clothes on humans or vice-versa.
Ability to where a companions outfit.
Special fashion items for our companions. (Yes, I actually dress up my pets for Halloween, and would like to see this in game!)

What is the name and address of the largest giant I can kill?

With regards to the requirements below, how are F2P players expected to raise their IL by about 600 points during the new campaign? Even if they are fully up-to-date with ME-weapons, they will not be able to reach 3.1k IL with the content currently available to them.

And here i was fearing a 3K gear Score, they made it 3.1K

Try to have 3 toons at this level is impossible !
I'm not going there soon, this game was never atl friendly but this 3.1K IL is a alt killer...

I have at least 3 at this level, but probably 5. They're 3k-ish in their Inscribed undies.

This is not to say that it hasn't required a lot of working the system to get them there, and there's probably not a lot further they can go if I continue to refuse to pay for items like reinforcement kits or the more expensive enchant upgrades... but it's been done.

wintersmoke · August 2016

What is the recommended IL to begin the Storm King's Thunder campaign?

I have no problem with a 2.5k IL. It's just the major HEs you'll want to avoid for now.

kreatyve · August 2016

What can you tell us about that "Buy Level 70 Character" option that is on Preview?

lilly · August 2016

I agree with you. Lots agree with you and lots have asked about it before but it is never addressed, seems to be totally rediculous having fashion things and being able to dye them, yet you cannot see unless you unequip armor
