Bounties a.k.a. World Quests, Kadala a.k.a. Relinquished Items vendor, new Legendary items similar to Hellfire AmuletHellfire Amulet and now, another Diablo element is making its way to World of Warcraft.

The ultimate question is how will Rifts differ from Mythic Keystone Dungeons? Solo content with affixes?

We datamined two items that will grant entry to Lesser and Greater Rifts. 

  • Depleted RiftstoneDepleted Riftstone - "Allows entry into Lesser Rifts."
    • Most likely Wow's equivalent of Diablo's Nephalem Rifts
  • Charged RiftstoneCharged Riftstone - "Allows entry into Lesser Rifts and Greater Rifts."

Depleted RiftstoneDepleted Riftstone can be upgraded (Upgrade Rift FoozleUpgrade Rift Foozle) to Charged RiftstoneCharged Riftstone, probably if you beat the timer in a Lesser Rift and vice versa, if you don't beat a Greater Rift timer, Charged RiftstoneCharged Riftstone may be downgraded into Depleted RiftstoneDepleted Riftstone.

Details surrounding the addition of Rifts are still vague, but from what Blizzard said in the dev notes for Patch 7.3, this may be somewhat related:

If you ask me, Diablo has a lot of things that should be in WoW, so I like this trend.

Why not just play D3 to run rifts by yourself?  I don't get the point of this other than turning wow into a single player game

Sure, World of Warcraft is a MMORPG, but Blizzard wants to reach out to as many players as possible and you can't blame them for that

  • You like single-player content? There's Chromie's Scenario, Withered Army Training, World Events, Mage Tower Challenge, Pet Battles and maybe the 7.3 Rifts...
  • You like playing with other players (PvE)? There are dungeons, Mythic+, raids, etc...
  • You like playing against other players (PvP)? There are Arenas, Battlegrounds, World PvP Quests...

If you don't like "X", you can do "Y" or "Z". The choice is yours to make and nobody's forcing you do do "X". There's something for everyone, even special snowflakes.

I like this, the Chromie scenario was pretty fun, if a bit too easy. Hopefully these will give a bit more of a solo challenge for when the friends list is a bit light.

You know... there's a part of me that actually wishes this was a thing...  I would love to see Diablo turned into an MMO, but I just don't see how that can happen without destroying the very fabric of what makes the game a Diablo game.  Could you imagine though being able to walk through open world content from Old Tristram to New Tristram, to West March, to the Arreat Crater and then take a boat to Kehjistan and other areas.  I mean just yeah...

Agreed.  Also I'm hoping they would give decent loot, and possibly the harder they are the better the loot.

Lol, would love that, but don't see it, at least in the same vein as WOW.

But as an incentive to lure Diablo players over to WoW, yeah these "rifts" look good.

I was a complete Diablo player prior to Legion, tried WoD, found it lacking in content, since Legion, been subbed, plenty to do, and more content both Single player and group content is always welcome.

For Blizz, makes sense too, I don't pay anything for Diablo (well £12.99 in 3 years............)

      Blizzard (Source)
      We’re planning to run an initial test of re-activating the Communities feature on a few realms this morning. Those realms are:
      Black Dragonflight Gul’dan Skullcrusher Lightbringer Mal’ganis This test is scheduled to begin at roughly 9 AM Pacific time. If you’re on one of the above realms, please let us know if you experience any issues once Communities have been re-enabled. Thanks!

      How to Reach Exalted with Gelkis and Magram Clans in Patch 8.0.1
      By Stan
      Players continue to discover hidden perks of the 8.0 pre-patch. Redditor fgmenth noticed that it's possible to reach Exalted reputation standing with the Gelkis and Magram Clan Centaurs in Desolace.

      The cool thing is that you only need to complete a couple of quests to get to Exalted and both factions count toward the new 100 Exalted Reputations that rewards "the Esteemed" title and the Pureheart Courser mount.

      Quest Chain
      Maraudine Prisoner Manifest is needed to start the quest chain and the item drops from Maraudine Maulers in Desolace. You need to complete some quests in order for it to drop, more details can be found here. Completing the final quest will give you enough reputation with both factions to instantly reach Exalted.

      Individual Quests
      Behind Closed Doors Time For Change Into the Fray! Death to Agogridon Players that have completed the quest before the pre-patch are not able to reach Exalted, according to player reports. We're not really sure if the whole thing is a bug, but we'll let you know as soon as we know more!

      Battle for Azeroth Expansion Hub
      By Stan
      Our Battle for Azeroth expansion hub is filled to brim with useful information to get you started with WoW's latest expansion!
      Your source of the latest Battle for Azeroth news!
      Battle for Azeroth 8.0 Pre-Patch
      The pre-patch is now live worldwide. An active subscription is only required to play the game up to Legion, as Blizzard removed the Battle Chest.
      Official Patch 8.0.1 Patch Notes Class Guides for Patch 8.0.1 Patch 8.0.1 Survival Guide Battle for Azeroth Release Date
      World of Warcraft's latest expansion will be released on August 14, 2018 in all regions at the same time. You can find out more information in this post.
      Pre-Purchase Battle for Azeroth
      If you pre-purchase the expansion, you'll get a level 110 boost and gain early access to four Allied Races. The Digital Deluxe Edition comes with various goodies in all Blizzard games except Diablo. Collector's Edition from local retailers also comes with two novellas and you can read excerpts here. Character slots will be increased to 18 per server. Inactive accounts have been upgraded to Warlords of Draenor.
      Game Version Pricing Buy Link Standard Edition $49.99 // 44.99 EUR EU / US Digital Deluxe Edition $69.99 // 59.99 EUR EU / US Pre-Purchase Deal [More Details]
      New players that pre-order Battle for Azeroth will get Legion bundled with it for 49.99 USD // 44.99 EUR.
      Allied Races
      Highmountain Tauren, Lightforged Draenei, Nightborne and Void Elves are four Allied Races that can be unlocked before Battle for Azeroth goes live. Pre-purchasing the expansion won't unlock them though. They're gated behind Exalted reputation standing with Legion factions and achievements.
      If you boost an Allied Race character to level 110, you won't be able to receive Heritage Armor.
      It's very likely that Blizzard removes the gating at some point before Battle for Azeroth launch. It would not make much sense having them gated behind old content.
      Allied Races Unlock Requirements
      Allied Race Requirements Highmountain Tauren Ain't No Mountain High Enough + Exalted with Highmountain Tribe  Lightforged Draenei You Are Now Prepared! + Exalted with Army of the Light Nightborne Insurrection + Exalted with the Nightfallen Void Elf You Are Now Prepared! + Exalted with Argussian Reach Allied Races in Battle for Azeroth
      Four Allied Races have been confirmed in Battle for Azeroth so far. The Alliance will be able to unlock Dark Iron Dwarves and Kul Tirans, whereas the Horde can convince Mag'har Orcs and Zandalari Trolls to join the faction. The aforementioned Allied Races will be gated behind Battle for Azeroth content and can't be unlocked before launch. We learned that Dark Iron Dwarves and Mag'har Orcs will be available first and both Allied Races are now available for playtesting on Beta and in order to unlock them, you must finish your faction's War Campaign in Battle for Azeroth. Blizzard confirmed that Blood Trolls will not be an Allied Race in the coming expansion.

      Set bonuses are gone in Battle for Azeroth and the legendary amulet is used to unlock Azerite traits on Azerite Armor. The plan is to introduce three pieces of Azerite Armor to the game - Head, Shoulders & Chest. In this section, you can find a list of Azerite traits that have been added to the game so far.

      [Stormreaver][H]Tequila Sundown of <Karma Horde> Mythic in a community guild Tu/Th 8:45pmPT
      By joat
      Who We Are
      Tequila Sundown is a mythic raid team formed within the <Karma Horde> guild on US-Stormreaver. Lead by a husband/wife team with high-level raiding experience dating back to WotLK, we're a "positively determined" progression team that maintains a light-hearted atmosphere while tackling mythic difficulty content. We're mature adults with jobs and family seeking like-minded players who have a passion for the game but want to avoid the needless angst or drama that often gets associated with progression raiding. We log on to have fun - so come have some fun with us!

      A Team Within a Community
      Our raid team is one of three within the larger guild of <Karma Horde>, which was formed back during WotLK. As such, the guild and Discord are very active and social. There are always people around online and in-game. The community atmosphere is welcoming and friendly to players of all levels. The guild enforces a Code of Conduct that has zero tolerance for hate/offensive speech.
      We are always looking to add players with a friendly personality and lots of passion for the game. We want players who are going to log in on non-raid nights and be down for all the other things we're into: pushing mythic+, doing world quests, PVP shenanigans, achievement hunting, hyper-competitive fishing.. there's so much to do and so many ways to enjoy the game. This is our favorite hobby and we'd like to play with you if it is yours, too.

      Progression Goals
      We are 7/11 Mythic Antorus, Heroic AOTC.
      We strive for a fun environment that takes the challenges of mythic seriously and giving the content the respect it deserves. Our aim is, as all mythic teams, full clear of content but with always keeping the friendly spirit of camaraderie alive. Performance matters, but so does staying positive and finding the fun in the difficulty of a raid. We do not require mythic raid experience to join our team but we do expect mythic-level dedication and accountability from all of our raiders. You must be able to take constructive criticism and have ownership over your level of play, and be willing to put in the effort to be a contribution to the team.

      Raid Days/Times
      Our mandatory raids are:
      Tuesdays 8:45pm PT - 11:45pm PT
      Thursdays 8:45pm PT - 11:45pm PT
      Optional:
      Sundays 8:45pm PT - 11:45pm PT
      Sundays are for farming the previous raid difficulty.

      Recruitment Needs
      Our roster is currently full, but if you are still interested you may fill out an application via the link below. 
      Interested? Next steps:

We have a bunch of class fixes for various abilities that were either bugged or incorrectly converted, fixes for legacy content and Tomb of Sargeras bosses, as well as other stat squish issues in the open world, and finally, a whole lot of quest items that can again be looted and other quest fixes.
