      • Dream of Cenarius now correctly applies the Eclipse state without delay.
  • Warlock
    • Felhunters and Observers no longer cast their spell lock ability while being out of line-of-sight of their target
    • Summon Incubus is once available.
    • Added Grimoire of Service Incubus.
    • Added Grimoire of Supremacy Archincubus.
    • Shadow Bolt will now correctly add stacks of Molten Core when the target is below 25%.
      • Developers’ notes: Previously Shadow Bolt was only adding an initial stack and could not contribute to more stacks. This also means that Touch of Chaos will add stacks of Molten Core.
  • Player versus Player
    • In the Dalaran Sewers Arena, Priests can no longer place Lightwells in areas that other players cannot reach.

Player Housing Showcase
The Player Housing Showcase today had a brief interview and lots of gameplay. You can see lots of gameplay footage on the creator's channels.


  • The team that worked on housing started to be build during the Dragonflight era. It took years to get here.
  • You will start with a fairly generous decor chest that you can use to decorate without having to go and collect anything.
  • All professions will be able to craft some decor.
  • There will be exterior Orc, Human, Night Elf, and Blood Elf designs.
  • There will be a house finder feature that allows players looking for a public neighborhood to see which ones still have spots available, what the population is, tour them, and more.
  • If a guild has more than 50 players, you'll all be able to be in a single neighborhood, but there will be stacked instances. You'll still share progression and neighborhood name.
  • As the house owner, you can set access rules. You can let anyone come in, allow just friends, guildmates, or other access options.
  • The largest piece of furniture is the Tauren Waterwheel, roughly the size of a building, with a 24 ft diameter.
  • The smallest piece of furniture is the Youngling Courser Toy Set, roughly the size of a keyboard.
  • You will be able to import houses from others, similar to talent builds. (Source)


Dev Interviews
The Gamescom stream had a short interview with a couple new points. There was also lots of footage that we didn't see elsewhere.






Youtube Shorts
Blizzard put some gameplay footage in Youtube Shorts that we haven't seen elsewhere. We've embedded a playlist below, so keep watching after the first one to see them all.

Interview - Full Housing Neighborhoods System Not Coming in 11.2.7, Aug 19 Hotfixes

World of Warcraft: Midnight Cinematic, Gameplay Trailer, and Features

Midnight Dev Interview - Full Housing Neighborhoods System Not Coming in 11.2.7
Gamespot talked to WoW senior game director Ion Hazzikostas, associate design director Maria Hamilton, and associate game director Paul Kubit. The covered Player Housing, Transmog, and more.

Player Housing
  • The version of player housing arriving in The War Within's patch 11.2.7 is described as a "preview" that focuses on the house itself and its customization.
  • The full neighborhood system, which includes features like neighborhood-wide challenges and events, won't be coming until Midnight's official launch.
  • One of the primary reasons for the early release is to give players a head start on collecting decoration items from all over the game, including old dungeons and raids, so they don't feel pressured to do so during the launch of a new expansion.
  • Players who do not preorder Midnight will still be able to collect housing decor items when patch 11.2.7 goes live.

Quel'Thalas & Story
  • There is no more loading screen for Eversong Woods, Zul'Aman and Silvermoon.
  • While Silvermoon will be the main hub for both the Horde and the Alliance, Alliance players will only have access to certain parts of the city.
  • Silvermoon will be larger, with some new areas added, including the Sanctum of Light and a Memorial Garden.
  • Some of the most iconic areas in Quel'thalas, like Windrunner Spire, Magisters' Terrace, and Murder Row will be dungeons

Player Experience & UI
  • Popular add-on features like damage meters and boss timers are being integrated directly into the game's baseline UI.
  • Midnight is going to be our first expansion that really puts approachability front and center in all aspects of its encounter and class design

Devourer Demon Hunters
  • Devourer players wouldn't be sitting at max-range casting spells, but did say that in a lot of cases, the spec's rotation can be done at range.
  • The core loop of the spec is for players to enter Void Metamorphosis and then try to stay in the form for as long as possible to maximize damage
  • It won't play like a classic ranged class, you'll be moving in and out of melee range.

Prey System
  • Normal Prey difficulty will be similar to existing open-world content.
  • Hard and Nightmare Prey difficulty enemies may have Affixes and more mechanics.

There is no glory to be had in the sanctuary of the Shrines!

Please note: Their original locations were never turned off, so if you’re speaking to them on the wall, you can expect strange results. This should become much less strange with patch 5.5.1, probably.
