Blizzard is moving toward full co-op support for War Plans, with an early outline now confirmed by a Community Manager. The update is expected around Season 14, and it directly targets one of the biggest complaints since the system launched: party play feels limited and unrewarding.
Right now, helping a friend through their War Plan node is inconsistent. Even after a recent hotfix increased progression rewards to 100% and improved caches, players are still running into core issues. Especially around coordination and shared progress.
Cooperation mode for the war plan
Along with the notes from the Hotfix, we wanted to share that there are plans for Warplans updates that attend to co-op/party play. Just as a heads up, timing for this would be around Season 14. Since details are still being sorted out, this isn’t final, but it’ll generally work like this:
New Party Plan, at the cost of Marks of El’Druin, players can kick off a party vote to reroll all boards to match
Community Reaction So Far
The reaction is split, but leaning positive.
Some players argue co-op should be more rewarding than solo play, especially given the effort required to organize groups.
Others are skeptical:
- Concerns about currency cost gating access
- Worries this is still a partial fix, not full sharing
- Ongoing frustration that basic features like “share progress” weren’t there from the start
There’s also a lingering question: is this system designed to improve co-op, or just control how fast players progress together?
