BlizzCon 2026 Interview: Campsites, Horizontal Progression, and More

Reported Updated Sep 28, 2026

Summary

Campfires last 10 minutes with 1-hour cooldown per fixture; minimum placement distance to prevent clustering; can't place in cities Starting campfires hold 3 fixtures; higher-level versions hold more Horizontal progression: blues can outperform epics for specific purposes via 'biome-specific effects' tying gear to particular content Default bank expanded to ~96 slots; bag sizes increase gradually Item stat obfuscation: stats hidden until items actually drop, to preserve discovery Dungeon journals unavailable initially; raid bosses unknown until first encountered Transmog toggle lets players hide others' transmog while keeping their own visible Devs cautious about destructive world changes; prefer additive storytelling
