New Arathi Highlands Campaign



While attention has been focused on Khaz Algar, a new enemy has risen in the Arathi Highlands, threatening to shatter the tenuous peace between Stromgarde and Hammerfall. Join Faerin, Danath, and Geya'rah as they attempt to expose a conspiracy, defuse tensions, and grapple with the legacy of Arathor. Experience this new storyline with branching viewpoints based on your character’s faction as you brave the journey ahead.

Learn more about the Red Dawn Rising campaign from our article.


Go Lorewalking with Lorewalker Cho


Meet with Lorewalker Cho in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, or Dornogal to experience iconic lore moments in Azeroth in the Legacy of Arathor content update. Players level 10 and above can explore three storylines carefully curated by Lorewalker Cho to learn more about Xal’atath, the Ethereals, and The Lich King. Each storyline consists of previous quests and a few new ones.

Learn more from our previously published article.


Overcharged Delves


Power up with Titan machinery to explore new depths and face new challenges within six Delves throughout Khaz Algar in the Legacy of Arathor content update. You’ll be able to amp up the challenge with a new Delve-specific affix and earn some shiny loot.

Engage with Titan enemies, more traps, and unlock traits in a new trait tree specific to Overcharged Delves. Selecting the right traits can turn the tides of traps by making them more beneficial rather than a detriment to your progress.

Learn more from our previously published article—It’s Electric: Power Up with Overcharged Delves!


New UI Options: Combat Assistant and Single-Button Assistant


We’re introducing two additional options in the User Interface (UI) to help you learn a new class or relearn an alternate character. These new options are also a great way to provide additional accessibility to players who may need a little extra help.

Assisted Highlight: When enabled, Assisted Highlight will highlight the recommended next ability based on resources and the situation your character is in. Configured as an additional option to assist with damage rotation no matter which specialization you’re using, this new option is designed to help new players, players who are trying out a new specialization, or those looking for additional guidance on the abilities they should use.

Single-Button Assistant: For those who want or need a little extra help, there is also the new Single-Button Assistant. This is a single button that can be used to cast the next recommended damage dealing ability in the sequence. This assistant is designed to aid those who are looking for additional help, or for those who want to experience the story or game on a more casual basis. There is a small additional global cooldown added between abilities when using this feature.The feature will also detect when an Area of Effect (AoE) spell or multi-target ability should be used when you’re out in the world.

Slip Into the Turbulent Timeways With Battle for Azeroth!

  • Week 3: Burning Crusade
  • Week 4: Warlords of Draenor
  • Week 5: Legion

  • Week 7: Battle for Azeroth

We’ll have six new Timewalking Dungeons for players to undertake— Atal’Dazar, Freehold, King’s Rest, Shrine of the Storm, Temple of Sethraliss, and Waycrest Manor. Players can also shop at a new Battle for Azeroth vendor that can be found in the harbors of Boralus and Dazar’Alor.

Master the timeways and you can also earn the new Chrono Corsair skyriding mount... and more.


The Greedy Emissary Returns the Week of July 1

We’re bringing back the Greedy Emissary event! During this event you’ll be able to encounter even more of these deviously greedy treasure goblins in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, Dornogal, and Undermine for new diabolical rewards— including a mount. You won’t want to miss some truly iconic rewards including recolors of classic Tier 2 armor sets for your characters.

    Can’t wait for the absolute s**t show that will happen if they keep designing bosses the way they do after breaking addons and WAs.

    I think heroic can be pretty much the same as now, the only thing I need for Undermine is to highlight a couple specific debuffs. Mythic will be a challenge to design though, without making it either too easy or too obnoxious.

    You are aware pretty much all bosses are doable without addons and WAs, right?
    Vast majority of people won't feel the impact.
    World first raids just become longer as they need gear in place of the surgical precision.

    Yeah, heroic maybe. I’m just thinking of bosses like Neltharion and 4 debuffs with very specific spots for the AoE, as well as the void zones. Gally can be doable, but I think there’s specific timings for tanks to adhere to. Mugz with the left/right gaol walls.
    Just seems like they will need to make very early telegraph abilities with few, to no, overlaps for some bosses.
    Will definitely have to wait and see, but I just don’t know how well it will go with encounter design.

    Please tell me the rogue recolor is black and not some sort of dark blue. It's making me nervous that they choose a dim lighting to show it off.


    Also do we know if we get a heroic lootbox during turbulent timeways? Still missing a bit of transmog, but im too lazy to keep raiding.

    Per the model viewer, looks like it's black with a purplish outline.

    This'll be the third time it's returning and the last two times it rewarded Heroic loot, so I'd surmise this time'll be no different. We already have Dinars from earlier in the patch, it'd be strange if it was only rewarding Champ track gear.

    If they truly remove WAs and addons, we lose more than just timers. We lose in game management of raid CD timers for defensives and offensives thru raid plan. We lose damage meters. We lose WCL. We lose ElvUI (personally don’t use it). We lose raidbots being able to sim our characters and knowing the best upgrades to go for. We lose fun and frivolous things like dressing room addons, or weird changes to UI camera stuff like the novelty camera spin when your monk uses SCK, or WDP.
    So yes, while I mentioned bosses and raids, there are more things that people enjoy and bring QoL to the game that will go away.
    History has gone:
    Blizzard makes a game.
    Players create tools that make the game easier and more intuitive/fun/random.
    Blizzard makes the game to account for those.
    Players make them more in depth to go with Blizzard changing difficulty.
    Rinse/repeat for years.
    We now have a game that is highly reliant on addons & WAs. I won’t say they’re required outside of a handful of fights, but that doesn’t change Blizzard designed a game around those things, and now want to take them away. There is going to have to be some changes for encounter design to accommodate those now, too.

    How would we lose raidbots?
    Without addons we'd just have to take the data from armory api.
    They'd have to nuke armory if they wanted to remove that.
    Then you could just input the data manually which is barely an inconvenience.

    And they already said they will not be nuking addons as a whole.

    Forgive me for not having confidence in the corporation that presented a jukebox as a major content patch and covenants and botched hero talents as major expansion features. Forgive me for thinking they'll do far worse than basement dwellers with addon creation.

    Holy misinformation batman.

    Theyre not removing WAs or Addons. They have vaguely floated the possibility of disabling the in-combat events available to Addons, but only after they've developed their own versions of DBM and Damage meters etc. That's the only thing they've talked about removing. The only things that will be impacted are things that rely on real time combat information, so damage meters, DBM, WAs for raid/class mechanics etc.

    If you want that you're better off subbing 2 months before the next major patch. Current trend seems to be from one gate to another.

    They just cant make DH sets lol xD
    And its sooooo easy and simple to make DH sets.

    Some kilts/pants, tattered robes/tunic, simplistic shoulders....

    And then you just move from 1 theme to another... Yet they decide to go for some disgusting "horns", "spikes"... w/e....

    Remember the NE DH from vanilla cover? WTB SUCH SETS!




    Also, on topis: sup with "increased loot" in old content? Any info on that?
