It appears the timed mission notifications are client-side, not server. That put a damper on the dungeon I was trying to run with my guild. Of course the app cannot be used while you are logged in to the game, which I learned by quickly being kicked from the game and told that someone else logged into my account. The app is brimming with flavor, where Blizzard could have just made a simple boring interface, the app feels like an extension of World of Warcraft from the sound effects to the transitions to the notifications that wake you up at 2 in the morning to complete a mission. (AKA an adult with some semblance of a life) You quickly set up or complete missions, recruit more troops, check or advance your class hall upgrades and essentially micromanage without being at a computer. This isn’t just a “check in and see how much time is left” toy, it is a full-featured app that feels more a necessity than a luxury if you are not able to play WoW 24/7. This would quickly become cumbersome, but Blizzard has rolled out a companion app that allows you to remotely manage these missions and followers. Among the diversions within the class hall, there is a variation on the Warlords of Draenor follower system where you now have “Champions” and “Troops”.Troops are limited-use followers that assist your champions on missions that will get you items, gold or XP while you go do more important things. These are large themed areas where you will ignore the riffraff of other classes and exclusively pal around with fellow Shaman, Rogues, Druids, what have you. Legion released on August 30th of this year and instead of Garrisons, characters are now ushered into their own Class Halls. The logic of “Why leave my garrison when I need to be back here in 30 minutes so I can complete the current mission and start yet another one?” permeated through the expansion’s almost 2 -year lifespan. This meant a significant time investment that made many players feel frustrated and tied to their garrison. You also had to move your character to the garrison location which interrupted whatever quest you may have been on. Unfortunately, this meant that you had to log in every few hours to maximize your followers’ output. In the previous expansion, Warlords of Draenor, there was a new feature called Garrisons where you had NPC followers that would go do their own adventuring at your command and you would need to check on them every few hours when their missions were concluded to reap the rewards. I quickly jumped in and got addicted to a whole new continent of content and exciting “go kill this thing” quests. In the future, the two may be combined.As a gift, a longtime friend of mine purchased the newest World Of Warcraft expansion – Legion – for me, as he knew how much I have running around and battling fiendish hordes in previous expansions. You may wonder why there are two apps for World of Warcraft now (indeed there has been an Armory app for a long time)? Quite simply because the developers wanted to offer a specific application to Legion. As for the identifiers, the application saves the information, avoiding having to re-authenticate each time (the authenticator is managed). Note that it is impossible to connect in game, on the computer, and simultaneously on the mobile application.
