I wonder if they will test any pre-patch stuff aside from the broken shore in beta
BURN! /10post
dear blizz pls send beta Racthoh#1224, will test and press buttons and all the stuff for u thx
What the hell do you think a pre-patch event is? Literally every single one in the past has started when the pre-expansion patch is loaded onto the servers and we're all waiting for that switch to be flipped. It's a limited time event that occurs between the servers receiving updates for the new expansion (adding in all the new content) and the point where Blizzard officially launches the expansion. The Legion invasions across Azeroth and the Dreadlord/Doomsayer events in the cities are the pre-patch event. They will not exist once Legion launches, unlike the broken shore event which will be unlocked during the pre-patch instead of at launch like WoD's Tanaan Dark Portal intro. There's even achievements like It All Makes Sense Now referring to the pre-patch event. Did you miss the build on the front page a few weeks ago?
Soothing Mist:"Healing them for a minor amount every 0.5 sec, until you take any other action."
Jade Serpent Statue: "The statue will also begin casting Soothing Mist on your target. healing for 50% as much as yours. "
[What's half of minor?]
"Statue casts Soothing Mist at a nearby ally for toddler healing."
As others have said, 7.0 is the pre-patch.
7.0 will be released a couple of weeks to a month before Legion's launch, which will technically be 7.0.3 or something like that.
Do those that got the Alpha invite also get the beta invite?
I just noticed I had "Alpha: Legion" in my in development tab, and I could have sworn it wasn't there a week or 2 ago. Hope I didn't miss out.

"there is no pre-patch, all of the invasion stuff will come in patch 7.0"
by far the dumbest thing I've read in this thread, and people post some pretty dumb shit here.

The difference is that unlike other pre-patch events, this one does not come pre-"pre-patch" as the person was inferring.
Nobody implied any pre-pre-patch would exist. Someone asked about the prepatch, which will launch with 7.0, and you said (and I quote) "There isn't going to be a pre-patch".
You were wrong.
There is going to be a pre-patch event. Some of its content is indeed already available for testing on Beta, just intermittently. Nobody suggested there would be any event before the pre-patch.
"The pre-patch" is another term for "Patch 7.0, which launches before Legion".
First beta for me, yay. Work tomorrow is going to feel sooooooo long.
