Though I’m on the MRT, my mind is still thinking about WoD.
Today, Bashlok has posted a tweet of what could possibly happen next year for WoD(aka Patch 6.1 and beyond). Though remember, they are known to not keep their promises due to “time constraints”.
This is their tweet for your viewing pleasure: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/15688408873
They first mention about the Legendary Questline with Khadgar and that ring that I don’t give a fuck about. However, they mention of the first Legendary Follower that can join your Garrison, to entice people into doing the questline(if they care about collecting followers like Pokemon).
The second, the bird named ‘Pepe’ that hangs out in your Garrison and can also sit on your head if you click on him, can be used as an ingame Twitter device. You’ll be able to link him to your existing Twitter account and send tweets, ingame. That’s pretty cool.
Though, I don’t really need it as I’m a dual monitor user. Plus I don’t tweet all that much. All I use Twitter for is for local news, weather(the SPC), and WoW news.
Third thing, the promised changes for FPs in Draenor. They go into a bit more detail that makes me a bit… questionable, about “trying to get you to your destination faster”.
I do feel this is going to mean, FPs are going to be more expensive to use. Do not want.
The forth and final thing, is about changes to the Garrison in the future. They won’t go into detail, probably not to spoil any “surprises”, but mention mainly changes to access a friend’s Garrison. Here’s the thing.. a “friend’s Garrison”, NOT an Alt’s Garrison! What happened to the promise to make it easy for players with many alts and Garrisons? What happened, Blizzard?
Anyway, they go on about how, they’re going to add “a fun random task”, with achievements and rewards.
They also mention more things to use Garrison Resources on, to not make them utterly pointless at Tier 3. There will also be a new tier of Garrison Invasion for hardcore players(maybe Heroic Garrison Missions?). There will be “profession-building missions”, which has my interest, and “a whole lot more”.
Very interesting. Maybe I’ll actually have hope in Blizzard yet.

I did say the Garrison was the final thing, but this is very important. Going by what I’m reading, they first mention about ‘ingame tokens’ you can buy. What’s special about these, they would be used as game time, and will be gift-able to other players.
They say their original thought was to “use player’s excess gold to pay for some of their subscription cost.” I hope to pay the entire fee. It would definitely make gold, to me, have a point!
Interested to see where Blizzard takes this. I hope they implement something in my favor.
.
And that’s about it. The rest is stuff I don’t care about. No mention about Apexis Gear being a full set, so that’s really sad. But, who’s to say that may not change? Who’s to say I may not even need it to be a full set?
I will be watching Twitter closely, and will jump the second they say “the PTR is up with Patch 6.1”.
