World of Warcraft Developer reddit AMA, Sept. 12

World of Warcraft Developer reddit AMA, Sept. 12

It’s been two weeks since patch 5.0.4 was released and, with only two weeks to go until Mists of Pandaria takes the world by storm, we feel that this is a perfect time to give you all exclusive access to some of our leading World of Warcraft developers. Wednesday, September 12 beginning at 02:30 CEST, we’ll be conducting a live developer “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) on /r/WoW. I’ll be on-hand to host the chat and will have Lead Systems Designer Greg Street, Lead Quest Designer Dave Kosak, Lead Encounter Designer Ion Hazzikostas, and Game Director Tom Chilton available to field your questions.

We’ll spend at least an hour working to answer everything possible. So if you have any questions about patch 5.0.4, Mists of Pandaria, and anything else pertaining to World of Warcraft story, content, and systems design, come prepared! We want to cover as many different topics as possible and hope to see a vast array of inquiries from everyone participating. We'll be choosing questions based on the information we can reasonably provide, and what kinds of answers we feel will be the most compelling and informative for the entire audience. Be sure to up-vote the questions of your peers you’d like to see addressed the most!

If you haven’t done so already, head to reddit and create your account. It’s easy and completely free. Also, do keep in mind /r/WoW is not owned or operated by Blizzard Entertainment. The folks who maintain that subreddit are kind enough to host us, so please be respectful of the great resource they’ve set up for the community.

We hope to hear from you tomorrow!

@Krummel: It stands for "Ask Me Anything".
Sometimes it's also called AMAA (Ask Me About Anything), I think.
It basically just means it's an open Q&A about all topics concerning WoW :P

"World of Warcraft Developer reddit AMA, Sept. 11"
"Tuesday, September 12 beginning at 02:30 CEST"

If this is happening on Tuesday, 11th September at 02:30 then that time had passed by the time this was posted.
Odd.

lol if u feel disc priest is op in live after patch u should try heal beta heroic raid in when mop comes they will run out of mana faster than any class in raid progress. I have almost every class and i think every class feels op in live after the patch. So imo nerf everything if u gonna nerf something.

I'd like to know if Disc priest and Fire mages will be nerfed as they're too powerful after the patch.

Hi, I sended a mail a couple a weeks ago with a suggestion. It isn't been answered until now, so I was wondering, maybe ask it here. Q: Would it be possible to make the flight form of druids "walkable" like normal flying mounts. Because now, when u touchdown, u are still flying, but on ground speed. It would be way nicer to walk on the ground and/or sit on the ground without needing to type "/sit". Just a suggestion to make fly form a little more attractive to stay in :)

I gotta a question that keeps popping up.....when are you gonna make so that we can have all our chars on one realm instead of the account limit to 50 spread across several. It's pretty annoying having to delete a char to make another, especially when you have lvlled it to 85

The AMA the Diablo 3 team did some time ago was sweet. And considering the WoW team seems to be lining up all the big boys, it looks rather promising. Looking forward to it :P

And I guess it's September 11 as it says in the headline (and not Friday(wut?) September 12 as it says in the body text).
