The Shadowlands Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives October 13 (NA) / October 14 (EU)

Finally means I can do things like M+ Without "WAH YOU DON'T HAVE FULL CORRUPTIONS"

What's ur rio? LOL.

I wonder how big of a nerf everything gets. Might be interesting.

[Icelin]

You didn't like the wind serpent and complained about it, so Blizzard shouldn't have shown it again? *rolls eyes*

I think you misunderstand the point.

I offered advice, "I don't think a recognizable npc from a popular lvl 19 dungeon should be shown on a brand spanking new expansion." It was me trying to help. My response is, "Out of all the creatures we can showcase from this expansion. We will pick this one again."

Now I don't want to say that comes off wrong, but naturally it does.

Ultimately when I am asking, "Please don't spit in our food. None of us like it." and the response is *keeps spitting in food*. Well what is going to happen? People will stop supporting the business or very well should. I know I seen a lot of complaints at the launch of BFA. People felt like their opinions were neglected. What happens with no customers? Business goes under. Well what happens if the business goes under? Like I said earlier everyone will be upset and it's a lose-lose situation. For us at the consumers/customers to see our beloved franchise dragged through the mud and the hard workers that make great times for us to enjoy.

Out of all the creatures again. (They have the choice of some that are much more appealing and unique.) What am I suppose to think?

I am digressing, but I want to further mention that treating the few customers that are left with animosity is bad for everyone involved again. (I am hoping we get a bit more traffic to come back next week, but I have no idea.) I try and give the benefit of the doubt to everyone at Blizzard headquarters. As we are all human beings. I think they should try show us the same courtesy.

Here you see my stats on live, unbuffed vs on beta at level 50, unbuffed:

On live, a regrowth heals for 38600 and rejuv ticks for 6455
On beta, a regrowth heals for 1700 and rejuv ticks for 255

On live, a +15 key is a 245% increase in mob health/dmg. In Prepatch, a +15 key will have a 127% increase.

Haven't tried playing on the PTR so no idea how keys feels in the prepatch, but I assume it'll be somewhat similar to season 1 BFA in terms of pacing.

[TheWindWalker]

I usually do old raids but I'm guessing after the squish all the raids will be the same level as BFA raids?

I know it's a bit late now but holy shit they could let people use the pre-patch month to do progression raiding
on any raid from any expansion since they would all have been "current max level content" until the expansion releases.

I think you haven't received the memo,Blizzard has given the title of chief executive armchair designer to Icelin,only his opinion matters,and it should always matter,as he's quite literally the center point of WoW's universe

Meh, I'll wait for Shadowlands to resubscribe

Thanks for sharing. We all wonder were you have been.

So they used a wind serpent in a video and thats enough to cause outrage for you?

What next, there going to show Defias Pillager somewhere and then what?!
Using a random model as cause for the end of the world scenario is *f ing insanity.

[Shibito]

Finally, High Elves and Wildhammer Dwarves!

Not to spoil your fun but thats a blue eyed blood elf, void elves dont get those eyes

I assume your massive haste and versatility losses were from losing corruptions?

[Tarx]

So now with the prepatch we cant get the BfA mounts like worm and void drake ?

[Nnyco]

Ye, now you get refused for low r.io as it should be.

No they are gone, Jaina and N'zoth mount however stay 100% until SL release.

[Aggressive]

Too many trolls in these comments. Good God. Rude asses

[Brewhan]

I mean you could have tested this on PTR the last 2 months. It's really nothing new, wait to resub for shadowlands launch.

[thesimpsonsman]

So i have seen like 2000 diff things about this... so there are 2 prepatches before shadowlands..

On the first one... in a week ... will the level squish be active or is the level squish happening in the 2nd prepatch?

[1know]

I just feel sad not to be faceless :/

[crusadernero]

When you think about it, this is a big patch. I mean, we can now change gender on the fly. Gender bender patch!

[SinR]

Velfs get the blue eye option if they go not "Void" skin colors.

Edit: Pulled up my hunter on Beta, even as "Void" Skin tones she can have High Elf eyes.



Also, my Rio is 0 on the hunter. guess I suck too much to get into anything

There's only one prepatch that includes everything they've said it will include. And it's all in the link at the bottom of that blue post.

Indeed. And those values will drop below double digits once you got level 60, most likely.

[sch1ntus]

Sounds like they hired the same guy who previously did League of Legends Champion spotlights ;-)
