St-Michel: They're like the natural progression of Garrisons however we've done hours of WOW WOTLK Classic Gold effort in making them highly effective as well as integrated into the gameplay. The Class Order Halls are sort of bringing everything in line with the plot where the Horde and Alliance are up against the biggest threat they've ever faced known, The Burning Legion. The classes all decide to join together. You collect these very personal heroes that we all know from the stories and then take them under your wing for help in defeating the danger.
Nervig: We certainly learned much from Garrisons. For the first couple of months in Warlords of Draenor, Garrisons were looking amazing. However, as many say, it got dull sitting by yourself in your Garrison for a whole lot of time. In the Class Order Halls, they do not work similar to that. The things you do there have to do with things that is not in the Order Hall, and they have you sent off to perform different things.
Nervig: Correct. In reality, Pandaren and Demon Hunters are able to communicate cross-faction currently. As Demon Hunters metamorphosize, they communicate Demonic. Thus, two metamorphosed Demon Hunters can talk to each other. It was an oddity where we were like, "Yeah, okay, that makes sense." And Pandaren are always an oddity. They're neutral Pandaren and as soon as they decide to choose Horde or Alliance then they forget the other? So we were like, "Fine, we're letting this line get crossed. Let Pandaren all speak Pandaren."
Barriga This game did not have any sort of movement ability mechanism that is based on the player's movements which is why it's extremely prudent in that regard. Our engineers had to take a look at the game's design, and the way our engine functioned, and make it do what an action game should do: double jumps, glides, and all sorts of almost twitch-based gameplay. We didn't even know if it was going to be able to work.
There was a moment when the engineer would say "Well I've am sure you got everything you've ever wanted except the ability to cheap WOTLK Gold change direction mid-double leap." I thought, "Okay, well, I guess we're not going to be able to get them all." After that, I played it , and I was like, "What are you talking about? It worked." It was almost supernatural to get everything inside the lab.
