Developer Q&A recap — no GDKP, 10 & 20-player raids every tier

What the developers confirmed about Forever in the Q&A live stream right before the beta opened.

Dungeons & raids

• Every tier gets both a 10-player and a 20-player raid. The 10-player raids have plenty of bosses.
• One difficulty for dungeons and raids, and no Flex raiding at launch.
• 40-player raids return starting with Onyxia’s Lair — but not every tier.
• No cross-faction play: the Horde and Alliance hate each other.

PvP

• No Rated PvP. Instead, a new PvP track that resets every season (tier).
• Honor gains are being adjusted so sitting in Alterac Valley isn’t the best option.
• A new battleground with its own reputation.

Transmog

• Silhouettes are kept: you can only transmog cloth over cloth, plate over plate, and so on.
• You can save several appearances per slot in a set, and the matching one applies when you swap armor types.

Economy

• GDKP is not allowed. Blizzard also plans to crack down hard on gold buyers.
• Tarnished Undermine Reals — the Season of Discovery dungeon currency — are coming back. How to earn them hasn’t been shared yet.

A weekly podcast with Josh Greenfield and Josh Corbett runs for the six weeks of the beta. The full schedule is on the home page roadmap.
