What to Expect in Patch 8.2 - Rise of Azshara
It has been several months since Blizzcon 2018's reveal of what is coming in Patch 8.2 - Rise of Azshara and so we decided to give you a little run down of what to expect for WoW's next patch!



  • New Landmass - Nazjatar
    • The naga are starting to make major attacks along the shores of Kul Tiras and Zandalar. The Alliance and Horde set sail for the great blue beyond to discover a chasm in the ocean surrounded by waterfalls, leading to the capital of the naga empire.
      • New Story Quests
        • Take the fight directly to Azshara herself
      • New Friends
        • Horde meet a group of former naga slaves (consisting of Makrura, Gilbin, and Sea Giants) held up in a cave trying to survive
        • Alliance meet the Ankoan, a deep sea tribe mostly wiped out by the naga who have dedicated their lives to slaying them.
      • Replayable Content
        • Team is taking inspiration from the best parts of past content zones
        • There will be a tower control point system that is both PvE or PvP in which areas of the map can be controlled by the naga, Horde, or Alliance.
        • The goal is that over the course of playing through the patch there are new things to see everyday.

    You could fly in the Broken Shore which was 7.2. So you may be able to fly in Nazjatar.

    Flying is usually only possible in zones that are part of the initial maps of an expansion. They may make an exception with nazjatar, but don't think they will.

    Not interested, try again Blizard. Flying in 9.0 might bring me back if there are no no-flying zones that is.

    9.0 is a new xpac...

    It's literally just the blizzcon stuff and three qol changes mentioned in the q&a. Nothing really new or something to worry about.

    So basically you want Blizzard to craft an entire plethora of zones with intricate details and quests....but give you the option to ignore all of it with flying? Get over it lol.

    Oh look, flying right as they introduce a brand new pair of zones where we can't fly. You know, exactly like Argus. And they swore they learned their lesson with Argus and flying. Apparently that lesson was "do it again" >.>

    This news post comes out of nowhere.

    I wonder if MMO-C knows something we don't? Maybe the PAX schedule??

    Where are you reading that?

    Hmm. Looks cool but for the love of all thats holy, let us fly there.

    I thought the last Q&A would touch upon 8.2.

    But then again we have 3 more months probably

    Really haven't heard anything new since Blizzcon or anything about the new Azerite system.

    Call me when "may" becomes "will"

    Native American looking heritage gear for tauren? What a surprise...

    I mean, I'm hyped because #Azshara, but... isn't it a tad too soon to start hyping this? We don't even have the Crucible of Storms open yet and we're talking about what's to come.
    Also... is it concerning that they don't have a new Warfront planned for 8.2, the Warfront being a huge thing and what not?... Makes me think that they rushed Darkshore to make it playable during .1 ... I mean besides it justifying Tyrande's absence during the attack on Dazaralor, it was an episodic thing.

    Blizz needs to give up on "unlocking" flying. Next xpac, just let us get max level, and let us have flying ffs. It's so stupid that we have to wait til the end of the xpac to fly

    Is it better to fly over zones or for people to not even bother doing world quests because it's annoying and there is a low chance at anything of significant use?
