MrGM Interview with Morgan Day - The War Within Keystone Master, Cross-Realm Guild Work Orders

In a short interview with MrGM during a live World of Warcraft community event in London, Associate Game Director Morgan Day answered questions regarding Dragonflight, MoP Remix, and The War Within, revealing that all Keystone Master mounts going forward will be capable of dynamic flight!

• Going into Dragonflight, the team was really unsure how well Dragonriding would be received by players, but spent a tremendous amount of time ensuring that it would work well and eventually spread to other existing mounts (now referred to as Skyriding).

• Dragonflight was the first expansion in many years that hasn't included some overarching feature like the Garrison, Artifacts, or Covenants. Instead, the theme was refurbishment and improving the baseline aspects of the game, and that's being expanded upon in The War Within with things like Warbands — expanding evergreen features of the game, rather than focusing on a new temporary feature.

MoP Remix

• MoP Remix is an opportunity to prepare for the next expansion — level new classes to make use of the Warbands system, gather new collectibles, and take part in some new challenges.

• Some of those challenges are a bit disproportionate to what they had intended, but the team is working hard behind the scenes to fix issues with weird scaling.

• Whether they'll do more Remix content depends on the reception from the community. They don't want to fall into a trap of just repeating whatever the year before, instead of innovating something new. The game has a huge backlog of old content though, which has been a lot of fun to revisit and utilize in new and exciting ways.

The War Within

• Keystone Master mounts in TWW will be skyriding (dragonriding) capable. The Season 1 reward will be an Earthen mech from the Ringing Deeps (potentially similar to the Stonevault Mechsuit Engineering mount, of which we've datamined a couple different color versions already). The intent is for all keystone master mounts to be
