Blizzard published development notes for patch 8.2.5 PTR, the new Goblin and Worgen models are coming in this patch which is nice, and with it both races will get a heritage armor.
The other interesting thing is what Blizzard called an experiment, party sync, a way to make everyone aligned to the same quest state, for example let’s say a friend have an alt with a multi-steps quest, you as a high level player can join your friend in a party and use this new feature to get the same quest.
Also Blizzard is testing replaying quests, an idea some other MMOs offered for a long time, but from the notes it seems like and idea for a group not for solo players, too early to judge that, but a high level player can replay a low level quest and get useful rewards.
Another idea is “relaxing level restrictions on queueing for instanced content with your friends.” which allow high level players to join low level players in a queue for dungeons, but a high level player may lose some high level abilities temporarily when they do that.
So what Blizzard is trying to do here is making leveling with friends easier, it does not matter if you are a high level player and they are playing a low level character, you can make a group with them, sync the quests and join dungeons together.
That is nice.
I’m hoping that Blizzard make most quests replay-able for solo players, there should be a cool down for these quests so players don’t stick to one zone and repeat it over and over.
