Shadowlands Alpha - Build 9.0.1.33978
The Shadowlands Alpha client is here and we are taking a look at what's inside!
- Data isn't all corrected yet, but you can browse Shadowlands spells on the WoWDB Beta site.
- There is a fun description for the Kyrian - [TEMP] The Kyrian are the most holy and noble in the after life. They pride themselves on being just and fair, but to an extreme level. The Kyrian are accepting proper level headed adventures to provide them aid in anima restoration and order. No orcs allowed!
- There are some interesting new settings:
- New settings were added to reduce the density of non-essential spells based on your framerate.
- There is a setting for target framerate. If your framerate is below this number, dynamic systems will reduce graphics quality to attempt to hit this framerate
- Strings have been added for gamepad support.
- The new scenarios involve Tyrande Whisperwind, Kel'Thuzad, and Baroness Vashj.
- Kael'thas is one of the new Shadowlands Encounters.
- You'll now be able to link a pinned map location to other players in chat!
- Story (SPOILERS)
- Kel'thuzad is involved in a scenario in Maldraxxus.
- There is a scenario that involves following Tyrande in Torghast as she discovers the extent of the Night Warrior.
- Kael'thas has both a new model and a corrupted form and is labeled as a boss in a Revendreth dungeon. This time we are saving him!
- Lady Vashj returns in the Shadowlands, now known as Baroness Vashj.
- Mueh'zala is the one who whispered to Vol'jin to make Sylvanas warchief.
- Vol'jin will be undertaking a ritual in a pod to be reborn as a loa, perhaps involving Rezan.
- Hakkar and Ysera returns in the Shadowlands.
- Uther has ascended as a Kyrian.
