Babita Tarak Mehta Birthday

Dual-Spec comes. First details.

Q & A with the dual spec Ghostcrawler
The next content patch, we'll add some things and change the game. One of the new features being worked on currently, is to allow for his character two separate specs. Although on the Public Test Realms (PTRs) are initially may not all functions are available and of course nothing in stone chiseled, we wanted to with the senior game designer Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street go through a few questions to learn more.

Nethaera: What does "dual distribution"?
Ghostcrawler: A dual distribution is the possibility of two different specs, glyph sets and action bars store.


Nethaera: Why do we do after all the players the years a dual spec permit?
Ghostcrawler: We found that this is a great way to increase the flexibility of the players and to encourage them to try other aspects of the game. Just to give you an example: Some players like to participate in raids and arena fighting, what we do, of course, find support and great. However, there are some talents that are useful in a particular part of the game than in another. Currently, players every time they go to pay for the unlearning of talents, then have all the talent and redistributed the action bars to be resurfaced.

The new system makes it a much more logical process, the time and cost savings and allows the players out with ease between the various aspects of the game and go forth.

Nethaera: Who will be able to use this feature?
Ghostcrawler: players who have reached the maximum level will be able to define two different specs.

Nethaera: Why is provided for the maximum level?
Ghostcrawler: We wanted player does not load at lower levels during the upgrade and learn their class even with it. this function should not be reasonably popular, we will think about it, they may expand.

Nethaera: As will proceed to set up the second spec?
Ghostcrawler: Players will have the opportunity to visit their coach, where they have to pay a fee to use this feature.

Nethaera: How to switch between the two specs?
Ghostcrawler: You can switch between the two specs by visiting the lexicon of power. Lexicon of power will be available in all major cities. Scribes are also able to produce a new object, that of a summons. Each can this subject Buy, but several players for the summoning ritual requires. It is similar in some ways also the Field Repair Bot, because it will exist only for a short time. Another important note is that you can not change his spec, if you are in combat or the arena is. Even when his spec can not change without the lexicon, it is possible to look at its second distribution whenever you want.

Nethaera: Will it be possible for solo players to change their spec out of town or do they visit the lexicon of power?
Ghostcrawler: solo players must either one of the cities to go there and seek the lexicon of power to change their spec, or get together with other players in order to summon a. Where can
the object with which to summon a lexicon of power, recycled or used up after he has used him
Nethaera?
Ghostcrawler: This was not made a final decision. We will not see again how it works on the PTR Sun

Nethaera: Can we forget the two specs, only the talents of one of the options, or automatically reset by two?
Ghostcrawler: When will unlearn talents attracted the talent distribution in consideration that is being actively used

Nethaera: Will it be easy to replace the equipment according to the spec?
Ghostcrawler: With the dual spec, we also introduce an equipment system. The new feature is called "equipment management". It can also be used to exchange weapons or jewelry, or simply to attract his tuxedo and herumzustolzieren in the city. The equipment will not be replaced automatically when you change its spec, it should simplify the whole matter, however. This new feature is on the PTR may not immediately be fully functional, but we will have in the not too distant future, further information about this topic, we will notify you.

Nethaera: What about hunters? The talents of their companions are often designed in order to complete the hunter. Will they have the opportunity to change the specs of the companions?
Ghostcrawler: The talents of the crew may be reset. We will, however, the cost to Redistribute the talents of the crew removed so that you have not felt as if I have to be extra laps. In addition, we give the hunters a new capability that allows them to access even from a distance to the stall places - of course with an appropriate cooldown. If their exotic companion disappears in the stable, so they got to the possibility another animal. We hope that we can meet in the future in more detail on this new capability.

Nethaera: Can I change the glyphs, too?
Ghostcrawler: glyphs are associated with the appropriate specs. If you switch to say between the distributions are changing with the same glyphs. You will find that it therefor, the UI has changed a little, and the glyphs will now appear next to the talent trees.

Nethaera: What about the action bars? Will players be it for the spec, they just use save to?
Ghostcrawler: Yes, it is his action bars store and use, including the provision talent distributions. The bars are also saved with glyphs and talents. If you would like to its other action bar, need to change the spec.

Nethaera: Is there a way that one chooses his talents, without that they are immediately stored? Currently, it is so that if one assigns a talent point he is gone until you decide to unlearn talents for gold again.
Ghostcrawler: With the function of the dual spec players get the opportunity to present their talents and they only choose to save it. Thus one can first distribute the items before you decide to use this distribution, rather than work out before everything must closely monitor. This should give players more freedom, if they choose for their talents and protecting them from costly mistakes.

Nethaera: Will it be limited to only two possible specs?
Ghostcrawler: The function is go with only two possible talent builds at the start. Depending on how it arrives, but it is quite possible that we move at a later stage, further distribution into account.

Nethaera: When will you can try out the new system?
Ghostcrawler: Once the public test realms are available, it should be possible to try the dual spec. It was a pretty big project, have contributed to the realization of many people. We will look at the feedback on each case and try to ensure that the system works the way we have all been introduced.
