That would have some fairly catastrophic effects, Brack said, laughing.
“Right now, they would fall into a Void of Nothingness and be mailed to you,” he said, adopting the cheery tone of the Postmaster that returns lost items. They had employees test what would happen if you just randomly made the backpack hold 18 items, he said. So you’ve got to go back and find all those assumptions.”
The game assumes there are only 16 slots in the backpack in a number of places. “We’ve had some people doing some investigation. And so there are all these assumptions built in,” he said. “There are some technical challenges with changing the 16 slot backpack. With other bags in-game approaching 32 slots, some players are finding the original backpack a little cramped. One of the frequently asked questions related to space in Warcraft is the game’s original backpack, the fixed 16-slot bag in players’ inventories that you can’t upgrade or enlarge. “It’s going to be done in a WoW style, and it’s going to work in a way that feels much more like WoW, but it should eliminate a lot of the challenges that people have with gear and bags, and make it much more of an item collection system,” Brack said. You don’t actually have to keep the item in your bag. When you obtain an item for the first time, you “unlock” the ability to make other armor look like that item. In the current iteration of Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls, transmog works almost like an achievement. Want hints on what that’s like? Check out the D3 system, he said. “We’ve looked at things we’ve done in the past, things Diablo has done,” he said. The designer who worked on the system for Diablo now works on the new version for WoW, he said. The Diablo team looked at that and said, we can do that for our game, and even make it more robust and more fully-featured.” We put in a transmog system a few years ago. “We learn more from other teams by playing those games. “The teams operate in silos,” Brack said.
The new system was inspired by Diablo 3’s transmog system, which in turn was inspired by the first version to be put into WoW, he said. The new system will not use any existing storage for transmog items, he said. Tabards are going to be part of the transmog system,” he said. “I think the transmog system will be the biggest thing to help that. Players can earn an achievement for collecting them - but they clog up bags and bank space. The new system will include tabards, which overlay a player’s armor and often display graphics relating to guilds, factions in the WoW, or achievements. A huge amount of gold to keep two more things.” “I cannot relate to that at all,” he said, laughing.
