Spell Visual Updates
Thank you to everyone who spent their time and energy playtesting on the PTR, providing constructive feedback, and putting many more eyes on our class visual updates for 7.3.

This round of updates has come to a close, and we have much more planned for the future. While significant strides were made for this patch, some spell updates had promise, but didn’t quite hit the mark and we’ve taken them back to the drawing board. Our initiative to update visuals and effects, especially regarding combat, carries on. Your feedback has helped us guide our priorities going forward.

Thank you once again! (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Legion Season 3 and 4 Ensembles
Thanks for your patience while this was worked on. The Legion Season 3 and 4 ensembles should now be available from the vendors in Dalaran.

Total noob question. Where exactly do I find the PvP vendors for Alliance?
At the back of Greyfang Enclave in Dalaran. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Blue Tweets

Nethershard Essence will be necessary for crafting legendary in 7.3? If yes, is possible to buy in the new vendor in 7.3?
Warmage Kathleen has been licensed as an approved reseller of this item in 7.3. (WarcraftDevs)

Can we get loot from each boss per week in the greater invasion points or only 1 boss per week out of all the bosses?
Only one Greater Invasion Point boss is active each week. (WarcraftDevs)

Can a worgen turn partially for a short amount of time? Or is it unstoppable when it starts? Hold a worgen hand alone -briefly-?
I don't think there's a partial transition recorded anywhere in Warcraft canon. (DaveKosak)

Patch 7.3: Shadows of Argus Art Contest

Throughout time, artists have set their talents to capturing pivotal moments in history. To commemorate the grandest of crusades for Azeroth’s heroes, we’re asking you to bring forth your talents to encapsulate the campaign into Argus. Let the fel* of your creativity flow using pens, pencil, paints, or your favorite art program to capture the events, people, and environs of the Shadows of Argus for posterity… and prizes.

We’re looking for your best Argus themed artwork either with traditional media or via digital media.

• First Place: Three qualified entrants will be chosen and receive one World of Warcraft: Legion Collector’s Edition signed by the World of Warcraft Art Team and one Starseeker Pet and Mount Bundle.
• Runner-Ups: Ten qualified entrants will be chosen to receive one Starseeker Pet and Mount Bundle.

Entries can be submitted during the period of August 30 through September 30, 2017 to CommunityContestsNA@blizzard.com. Each submission must be a high-resolution JPEG file of no more than 5MB in size to be considered for the contest. A submission must be your original work, and cannot include, in whole or part, any previously created work.

You can find the full contest rules here.

Good luck in your artistic journey!

*You may need a bit of green – perhaps some purples too, but definitely green. Use fel responsibly. May cause itching, skin pigmentation changes and irritation, general hunger, and sudden feelings of world domination. Do not use without warlock or demon hunter supervision. Do not use fel and operate heavy machinery. Warnings aside, we’re sure it will all be fine.

Heroes of the Storm - PTR Notes and Kel'thuzad
A new build is on the Heroes PTR, a preview of upcoming skins and mounts has been released, and the first two parts of a behind the scenes documentary about the creation of Kel'thuzad have been released.

[Frumpy Frumpy Frak]

I look forward to never being able to obtain these xmogs under no circumstances whatsoever no matter what because I hate pvp while pvpers will be able to waltz into Antorus in a couple of years from now and aoe everything down for EZPZ tier xmog.

[whinx]

Well, I gotta say the design team have done a nice job this season/tier. I really liked most of the sets.

[Dalheim]

The warrior set is the epitome of being a cannonball.. Look it up on tauren and orc :P

[denisgsv]

nope, check it on gnome ...

[Deleted]

Monk set looks like Kung Lao

[Deleted]

Horde DKs get my Blood Knight colour scheme, I see.

Motherfuckers.

[Deleted]

Oh yeah mistress nerfs. I hate this boss, everything that makes us kill her more quickly is greatly appreciated.

[HitRefresh]

Mage one looks bugged? It has the same glow colors on each one on the gloves and boots and necklace that don't match the shoulder glows. And pink poofs are coming out the shoulder pads on every color too. Love it though

[DRAKE996]

step 1: do warden towers when they reward gear
step 2: obliterate any non upgrades/non pieces you require for 15 echos of war
step 3: once you have 75, you can exchange them for a piece of your choice in dalaran
step 4: look fabulous
step 5: ??? profit

Not the elite ones

[Micronetic]

Shaman looks pretty badass, warlock too BUT what is going on with Rogue, looks like Robin Hood lol

he means elite pvp sets vs mythic raid sets.

[Thelxi]

I have to say that I really like many of the new armor sets. This might be the first time in many years that I have found so many sets to be in good taste. Gj.

[deadman1]

I feel like I'm alone but pretty much all of these are hideous. Warlock and Shammy mythic are the only decent ones, everything is so busy and gaudy.

Sadly the mage one is ruined by the helmet.

[dalrint]

Do we know what the season 5 prestige rewards are yet?

[Tomyris]

I like most of them. Rogue one is ridiculous, I'll never wear that awful helmet.

[HitRefresh]

I agree. I hate the piece of cloth just sitting on their head. Would look far better if the top of the back + the necklace and collar were a part of the chest piece. God damnit. I'll probably still use it but it would just look so brilliant without the ugly cap.

It was, but they changed it during PTR. You can see it in the icon.

[Teri]

Alliance paladin looks great, wish the horde set was Red instead of brown

On other classes horde set looks better imo (Priest/Monk/DK)

Wish overall the coloration was more even, as shown by Warrior/Hunter/Mage/Rogue/Warlock.

[Deleted]

can some1 tell me what the requirements for obtaining an arena title for some1 who didn't transfer are?
how many wins/games played do i need to get a title ?
thanks

[Kaver]

Damn! Could you even imagine a more boring set than the warriors... okay the elite version has some cool elements, but the others... wow i don't even know what to say. Normally I don't like when warriors uses the Death Knight tier for transmog, but in this case it's completely okay. I really feel sorry for what blizzard have done to the warriors.
