Wowhead BFA Exclusive Interview at BlizzCon 2018

Blizzard is trying to do an underwater boss because it thematically makes sense. The naga want to fight where they have an advantage. They can make things easier on players by giving players some buffs, like underwater water speed.

The Season 2 affix Reaping will cause all previously killed mobs to rise, chase down and attack the group at certain thresholds of the dungeon.

They're planning on looking at the creature type of Explosive, as some abilities don't work against them that maybe should (Avenger's Shield, Chain Lightning).

There are currently no plans to return Master Loot or improve Personal Loot's trading.

You'll be able to get Treasure Maps from Island Expeditions which are similar to Elite Missions. The rewards are going to be lucrative, but Blizzard hasn't confirmed them yet. Maybe some of the Azerite Armor currency.

Current Island Expedition rewards should still be on a separate pool than the new rewards coming in Tides of Vengeance

They're adding Seasonal Achievements for Mythic+ similar to Ahead of the Curve for raiding.

Heroic Warfronts require 10+ players and will be flexible.
