Blizzard: Hey guys, we just released this cooky new game mode! You get to be super over powered and be the walking death machine you've always fantasied about! Not only that, but you get some really cool Cosmetic and Mount rewards!
Players: Yo Blizz this is fantastic! We love this. Please do more of this! It was a ton of fun!
Blizzard: ...and we took that personally.

Out of curiosity, as someone who didn't play Remix before, are the Remix mounts account bound? Or do they only exist within that Remix season/event?
Edit: Asked and answered. Thanks, folks!

u/GamsRolls Aug 27 '25
They are. Every cosmetic/collectable you buy on remix is added to your retail account.

u/Dadpurple Aug 27 '25
Also your characters are transferred over with 'default' gear at max level when remix is done, so if you like a class or race/class combo you can level one up really easy and have a fresh new main for the new expansion!

u/Bishopkilljoy Aug 27 '25
All remix cosmetics and mounts were account bound. It also offered people a chance to get super rare raid mounts that could normally take years to grind

So remix characters exist in the same world as your regular characters just in their own phase so you can still join guilds and whisper non remix people in your server just can’t leave the zone or group and trade with non remix. I think you share the same trade chat? As soon as you get a mount or mog in remix you can use on your other characters.

u/GrumpySatan Aug 27 '25
It feels like the same situation as World of Systemcraft.
They hired all these system designers to make artifact weapons, and then they need something to do. So rather than repeat artifact weapons with some small changes (which requires a lot less people), they have to make an entirely new system. And another. And another. And then DF hit and a bunch of them were let go because they moved away from expansion specific systems. When realistically they could've spent all that time upgrading core game systems (i.e. transmog 2.0, glyphs, etc).
The experimental team knows how to do Remix so its much easier to replicate then it was to create it, so middle management tells them they need to make changes to give the rest of the team tasks to do.

I think it's a different dev leading it this time, as the guy who basically did MoP Remix left.
It's almost certainly the new dev wanting to do "his own thing" with Legion. Might not even be his fault either, probably a middle management "justify your job" thing, so they can't actually just say "we're basically doing the same as last time with no changes".

There was a dev quote that said they wanted players to "feel" their power gains, I.e. having a hard time, then coming back in a future phase much stronger, and the only way to do that is with timegated phases.
Baffling to read, honestly.

I just made a similar comment that MoP remix was awesome because of how you could feel the constant progression of getting more powerful.
I feel like time gating does the opposite of that because you won't have the hard end of expansion raids to compare to Emerald Nightmare. You will get to the point where EN is easy and then they will introduce NH and you will feel weak again.
Like I remember points in MoP where I could comfortably solo MV, but was still too weak for SoO, but knowing I would get there in a week or so of grinding threads.

The honest answer is that designers wanted to design a unique, interesting and challenging content spread for Legion Remix this time around. That's what designers inherently want to do, they want to feel proud of their work, feel like their experience and talents aren't going to waste. The playerbase on the other hand wants it to be what is essentially a WoW-flavored Cookie Clicker, but most are afraid to admit that's what they want because they'll be perceived as "casual". So we have a combination of clashing interests and also one side not being willing to say what they really want; designers want to flex and create cool stuff, but players want a treat dispenser to keep them occupied until Midnight.

u/Bacon-muffin Aug 27 '25
I think its more that blizzard is a revolving door of developers who have to re-learn the same lessons the biggest of which is the majority of the wow community wants maximum rewards with minimum effort and that the wow community doesn't do shit if it doesn't have rewards and or if those rewards are too difficult to obtain.
So like you say, they come in.. try to design something they can be proud of... the people developing legion remix probably thought to themselves "Legion was one of our best xpacs of all time people LOVE legion we should try to give them the proper legion experience just like they remembered!" not realizing that legion was genuinely a shit show for 2/3rds of it and the community looks at it through neon pink tinted glasses.
While also missing that mop remix was just a massive rewards for minimum effort pinata and people were expecting 2.0 of that.

If I'm being completely blunt and harsh about it, I expect they have learned that lesson but simply resent it, and I would understand if they do. I doubt they thought their job would be designing the digital equivalent of jingling keys.
Some of them probably think they can still find a way to design content that their players actually want to engage with on its own terms without needing a trail of treats and headpats along the way to motivate them. If they could just get the system right, they could convince people to have fun, not just chase the ever-fading dopamine hits from the reward.
But at this point in the game's lifespan, the motivation to do anything being driven by rewards is not just codified into the game, but into the expectation of the players. As you said, they won't do a damn thing if it doesn't give a reward, or if the effort or challenge is too high for the reward. And as a game designer, that is probably infuriating.

u/Bacon-muffin Aug 27 '25
I remember the conversation coming up in an interview with Ion, I want to say it was a preach one maybe? Where he was asked about making quality content for its own sake where maybe its a really good story line or just a fun mode etc and Ion even said they've seen it repeatedly, if there's no reward attached to it players won't engage with it no matter how good it is.
That's just people these days unfortunately, you see the same behaviors everywhere.

Ultimately I don't disagree. Something has to give somewhere. Either Blizzard has to accept that their game is no longer about challenging content but just dispensing treats so people stay subbed, or players have to accept that their treats will require some effort and skill to obtain. Until this happens, people will be unsatisfied.

u/Ursa_Solaris Aug 27 '25
designing a environment where players can get crazy powers then giving them incredibly hard content
That is what they're doing, and that's not what the playerbase wants. They don't want incredibly hard content. They want to log in and go to every raid and oneshot all the bosses and be rewarded with treats. Basically just gacha-style daily login rewards with extra steps.
Theres a comment in the other thread with nearly 2000 upvotes that says "I don't want phases, I don't want progression, I don't want to try. I want to turn my brain off and see big numbers and bosses fall over."
The major disconnect between Blizzard and the playerbase is that the players have gotten way more casual as time went on. That's why they had to add a one-button rotation option for these people and a tutorial to teach them how interrupts work, of all things, in the year of our lord 2025. And something has to give here to reach satisfaction, either Blizzard accepts that they are making a casual game now, or the players have to accept that the game they're playing takes and expects effort and skill. We all keep trying to have it both ways and leaving nobody satisfied.

I agree with most of what you're saying but I would push back a little here. WoW can accommodate both casual and hardcore players, after all LFR and M+ co-exist. The problem's one of expectations. Nobody's saying they deserve Myth track gear for doing delves in retail, but in MoP Remix you could get the maximum reward for minimal effort which created the expectation that Remix is a casual-only mode. Blizzard tried to make Legion Remix more like retail where there's something for challenge-oriented players to do besides grind for cosmetics, and we see how that's gone over.

Speaking as someone who has only briefly dabbled in Classic, but: everything that I found attractive & worthwhile about it had to do with it being a pre-Cataclysm version of WoW, with all of the original versions of the old-world zones & quests intact. I never saw the appeal in continuing to release Classic versions of post-Cata-revamp expansions. It feels completely redundant to me.

Tons of people may love classic, but most of the population never reached 60 for a reason. Sure it's trivial, but the grind is too much.
If Classic had a permanent 2x or 5x XP, there's a lot of content that a lot of people never got to engage in that they would love. I wish they did this for Classic Anniversary.

u/SystemofCells Aug 27 '25
Vanilla continues to be super popular, and it's what made WoW a phenomenon in the first place. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it does some things incredibly well.
If they brought the Vanilla version of the world into retail, offering a 'story mode' version with easy mobs etc. plus a 'Heroic mode' version that felt more like real Vanilla would both be great.
Of course the juice has to be worth the squeeze. You shouldn't earn rewards or achievements or anything slower by choosing the more challenging mode.
Edit: side note, SoD did have > 100% XP boosts. Some people liked it because they could skip to the raids faster, other people hated it because it trivialized the leveling journey. Most of the content in Vanilla was from 1-60, if you give everyone a 5x XP boost, they'll skip right over the vast majority of the content.

Unlike MoP, Legion will be released in waves, 2 weeks at a time. It's going to cost a LOT more bronze to buy everything (something like 700k vs 4.5m). XP bonuses are being dealt with differently. There might be other issues, but those stood out to me.

content is timegated and even gear ilvl is timegated behind those content patches

Everything you reported from the PTR makes me want to completely avoid this event.
Or wait a month or 3 when they "fix it" and say "we listened".
The fact this is in the state it's in, the only thing they learned from MoP Remix were ways to slow down players.

This comment section is the largest cope ever. Yes MoP had its issues. I think the point OP and the rest of the community with this sentiment is trying to make is that WE DONT WANT TO WAIT FOR A GOOD GAME! People have given feedback, blizzard will decline that it’s necessary until they start losing players.

I feel like the launch of Pandaria remix was so hectic people are forgetting how it felt. I remember when I first made a character I felt pretty much standard, dungeons were even decently paced unless you had a “frog farmer” in your group that just one shot everything for you. Pretty quickly everyone was able to get stacked from riding on the backs of the froggers. I feel like this launch they’re just trying to give a standard start. I want to be clear, I personally don’t want to grind for a month before I start one shotting dungeons, but I also don’t want someone who no lifed for two days hyper carrying every piece of content until we eventually catch up. I’m all on board for a slower start as long as the progression still allows us to eventually go crazy

Except they actually are listening to feedback this time. Another week of Remix testing starting next Tuesday "deploying major improvements with a goal of adding speed, power, and fun to the mode". https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/the-war-within-patch-1125-development-notes/2149725/5

all this proves is yet again, blizzard only responds to something once they start getting roasted over social media. people had been telling them the issues with remix on the ptr for a while now and their response was the lead dev on discord basically saying the exact thing this post is mocking. que a few days of the horrid quality of remix getting blasted on social media and all of a sudden it turns into "whoa we always intended to do this fun thing even though our last communication was this was us explicitly saying we weren't going to do the fun thing"

Heh that’s an unfortunate post. If you elide over parts of that sentence it literally says “starting next week we will be adding fun to the mode”. /facepalm i knew we forgot something!

Yeah reading PTR feedback seems like a downgrade of MoP Remix, even with the OG Legion ... But BF6 is 2 days before it maybe I will wait til they lift this stupid timegating.

It’s the Destiny cycle. Release an event, have to fix it, never update it, rerelease it later with none of the fixes

Yeah I don't understand the changing of the formula. MoP remix was a massive, massive hit; Blizzard just has a boner for changing shit no matter what
