World of Warcraft Dragonflight has been one of the best DLCs that the WoW community has seen in quite some time, and with the current patch being the last major content update for a while, players are always looking for new ways to get involved.
Now, The War Within has received some new updates into what is coming for players, including Warbands.
Here's what you need to know surrounding them.
What Are Warbands In World of Warcraft The War Within?
Warbands are a new method in which players will be able to interact with their characters, and it's further going to allow the leveling of alts to be more accessible.
Blizzard has posted an extensive blog post regarding Warbands, but we've got some details below.
Before getting into the details of each change that players will experience with Warbands, we want to share the main goals we are aiming to accomplish with the system’s introduction:
- Make playing alternate (alt) characters easier and more enjoyable – Data shows that many players already have an alt or two (or ten) and enjoy playing them, so we want to make playing them even better.
- Switch between characters without falling behind – There will always be a lot of character-specific progression in World of Warcraft, such as high-end gearing, but wherever it’s appropriate, moving progression onto your Warband should allow you to freely play multiple characters without losing efficiency or long-term progress.
- Acknowledge the player behind the screen – In other words, wherever possible, we want to celebrate your accomplishments within your Warband, not only on your character, so you can carry those accomplishments with you to whichever character you choose to play.
- Clarify which aspects of the game are account-wide versus character-specific – It hasn’t always been clear which parts of the game apply to your characters versus your account. We've taken this opportunity to clarify these differences in the UI, as well as replacing the term "account" with "Warband" throughout the game.
