wow Additional Unlockable Warband Backgrounds Would Be Amazing: Blizzard Please!

[Staff 1,195]

 

The new Warband login screen is an awesome addition to the game and everyone is pretty hyped about it. Probably one of the first things most players thought when seeing it was the amazing potential to customize it.

Fradzombie basically took the words right out of our mouths with their suggestion to add more unlockable backgrounds to the system. 

The amazing potential of this isn't just the backgrounds themselves, but the activities players could be encouraged to do to unlock them. There really are only so many mounts, pets and transmog combinations you can have, and it's always great to have a whole different type of unlockable reward available for the many, many activities WoW has to offer. 

This also wouldn't be the first game to do this, as there are other games have done something similar, most notably and most recently Lost Ark. But the idea of doing something cool in the game and being rewarded with a great new loginscreen really does feel right. Can you imagine downing the final current raid boss on Mythic and getting a unique home for your alts to sit in? A unique one for doing a really high Mythic+ dungeon or a difficult Delve achievement? Or a particularly bloody one for all you PvP fans out there!

Good idea. But since no other player can see the accomplishment or customization, unlike all other cosmetic rewards, the priority should be secondary.

It has a lot of potential but it really needs to include more alts. 4 is too small number.

It's 4 per grouping or just 4 displayed at any one time?

This is all one year in the future, there’s no finished design for this yet. No one knows if it’s 4 or 100.

I've never seen such excitement over wallpaper.

Sounds like they played too much of the Lost Ark!

Btw, it seems Lost Ark category on this site is dead?

Hey, it's really cool wallpaper! And it might maybe one day in 50 years, lead to actual Garrison+alts type player housing 😄 I just got excited!

Take the screen above, along with the garrison+alt thing and make it so that upon login, you go straight to your garrison where you can see all of your alts waiting to be played. To play an alt, you simply click it and click a CHOOSE TOON button and just start playing. No loading (that's already done), no silly selection screen. All alts on a given realm, right there. That seems much better than wall paper.

4 of your choosing that are displayed at all times around the campfire. But all of your alts on the account will be in the warband and will share the new bank, combined gold, shared new reputations and renown etc.
