Phase Announcement Communication
Several players brought concerns regarding the short notice announcement for Phase 3, citing situations such as wanting to take time off work and needing time to prepare. Many thought that a week's notice was too short, to which Greenfield (known as Aggrend) commented:
Greenfield stated that going forward, Blizzard will attempt to get critical information like Phase launch dates to players at least two weeks ahead of time, to give room for preparation as needed.
Class Tuning
Players have additionally raised concerns regarding class tuning, citing what they feel are overpowered classes that need nerfs. Greenfield responded to a few questions such as this, stating that with a major patch on the horizon, class tuning wouldn't make much sense.
Shaman vs. Paladin AP Conversions
One of the particular tuning concerns raised was the stark difference between how Shamans and Paladins were addressed in terms of Runes that address AP conversions.
While Aggrend didn't have specifics to detail at this time, he acknowledged the disparity between the skills of the two classes, and stated that more information would be coming soon.
Skill Conflicts
While class tuning may not be on the horizon, Blizzard is still aware of potential conflicts between Rune and skill synergies.
