Summary
World of Warcraftis finally adding customizable campsites on the Warbands character select screen in Patch 11.1. Though the update does not have a release date yet, campsites are going to be another type of collectibles players can obtain starting in the newWorld of Warcraftupdate.
Warbands inWorld of Warcraftare a collection of quality-of-life improvements that Blizzard has described as “account-wide everything.” Beyond shared achievement progress, reputation, and transmog unlocks, the Warbands system also revamped the character select screen to allow four characters to be posed together around a single campsite.
However, in Patch 11.1, the character select screen is going to get some major overhauls thatWorld of Warcraftfans have been looking forward to since before Warbandswere first introduced inThe War Within. In Undermined, players will be able to unlock new campsite backgrounds for their character select screen, tracked via the Collections pane. Those that players have collected will be accessed and displayed from the menu button at the top of the character select screen, where they can also set certain ones as favorites, or even randomize between some or all of their unlocked campsites.
Were that not enough, players will be able to save their characters in up to 20 different camp groups, each of which can be named or customized individually. As players cannot currently have 80 characters on their accounts, a single toon will presumably be able to appear on multiple campsites at once.
Beyond this feature, a number of other quality-of-life and accessibility improvements are coming in Patch 11.1 as well. The Quest Log pane is receiving several new UI elements, including an event tab to keep track of world activities. Additional support for tracking and sorting addons will be implemented, and the recently-updated stable is getting a dropdown menu allowing one to change their pet’s specialization, ostensibly letting them field whateverHunter pets inWorld of Warcraftthey want, independent of mechanics.
These improvements and more, including some significant class changes, will be available asa part ofWorld of WarcraftPatch 11.1. The update itself is expected to arrive sometime in February, but players can look forward to its arrival on the Public Test Realm early next year. The new Warbands character select screen customizations will likely arrive in one of the first PTR builds, so fans won’t have to wait long to see what the different campsites look like, and how the system itself works.
