Kul Tirans & Zandalari Trolls Coming in Patch 8.1.5

Recommended Posts

Both highly-anticipated Allied Races will be finally available for play in Patch 8.1.5, but the upcoming content update just hit test realms yesterday, so don't expect them go live before February 26.

The official Allied Races page mentions both races coming in Tides of Vengeance, when the story of the Battle of Dazar'alor unfolds, likely in Patch 8.1.5, not 8.1.

Possible Release Date

On February 26, the last wing of Battle of Dazar'alor opens on Raid Finder difficulty, so Blizzard probably wants everyone to experience the story and lore behind the new raid first, before they roll out both Allied Races. March 5 is a hot candidate for patch day, and the races would then become available roughly six months after BfA launch.

Unlock Requirements

Unlock requirements for Kul Tirans and Zandalari Trolls have been up for a while and yesterday, new achievements emerged, along with a new requirement, which is completion of the Tides of Vengeance War Campaign.

Join 8.1.5 PTR to Try Them Out!

Everyone can join the Public Test realm and create Kul Tirans and Zandalari Trolls. If you'd like to preview the upcoming races, you can find more details here.

You can find more info about the new Allied Races in our previous news coverage:

Are you looking forward to playing the new races?

Tides of Vengenace War Campaing is nearly over.You have first 3 parts avaible now and the last part after Battle of Dazalor so its not that big of a deal and makes sense since those quests are preparation and aftermath of BoD

It's frankly BS that a half year have to pass for the races they hyped the most... We better get the darn Horde Vulpera in the next middle patch to alleviate the bad taste this leaves.

Normally I'm very much against the anti-Blizzard stance the community has going on right now... But honestly? I'm very annoyed with these races. The Zandalari were part of the announcement. They were the reason I pre-ordered day 1. And it's been months since the release of the expansion and we're still ages away from them...

No, they did not lie. hey can only communicate so much, to people like you who are unable to understand. What they said was that you do not need to farm reuptation with anything else than the respective faction (Zandalari/Kul Tiras). They NEVER said that the only requirement, in general, is that one.

Waiting to be proven wrong with any official link that shows otherwise ;).

This was supposed to be a fun expansion and the least they could do was throw in these reskins for us to waste our time leveling, pathetic that they cant even deliver that in a timely fashion.

What's that? "But we've paid for the content and reached Exalted with Proudmoore's Admiralty as you told us"? Well sucks to be you - go farm more reputation if you want your wickerbear druid. And more farm means more time. More time - more money on subscription.

Well thanks alot Activision. You're doing one hell of job killing one of the most beloved MMORPGs of all time

I mean, you can cry all you want, and spread fake information all you want, the FACT is, they never said that you need only Exalted with the specific faction. They said that's the only REP requirement, which is true. I havent' considered myself a hardcore WoW player for a long time now, playing just a few hours a day, and that's not even daily, mostly after work if I have a raid with the second group of my guild. Rarely any M+ and WQ for Azerite alone, yet somehow I have Zandalar Forever! achivement for MONTHS now, almost as soon as I dinged 120.

So stop crying and finding excuses for yourself, stop lying about what Blizard actually said, and put in the work, cause you're not entitled to anything.

Or don't, and ignore the KT allied race, it's not mandatory. Or even better, stop playing if you hate it that much.

Wow. Are we going EA route right now? "If you do not like BF5 - do not buy it". Yeah because nothing ever backfired thanks to this attitude right?
And considering how BFA is universally hated by players even more than WoD (what an achievment) and millions are already leaving this shipwreck of a game - that's probably not the best advice to be given mate

I agree with the majority here. Allied Races, especially old ones, shouldn't be gated behind irrelevant content, as they could easily generate revenue from VAS for Blizzard and delivering them this late is also not a fortunate decision. So many players, incl. myself, are waiting to race change our Druids into Zandalari Trolls etc and waiting another two months isn't really feasible. Storywise, It would have made more sense to deliver Kul Tirans and Zandalari Trolls first instead of Dark Iron Dwarves and Draenor Orcs. They said Allied Races are released whenever they make sense and there's story around them, but I fail to grasp how Dark Iron Dwarves and Draenor Orcs fit the BfA story.

At least Dark Irons Dwarves are involved in war campaign and somehow fit the whole thing with Azerite. Draenor Orcs are weird due to alternate reality stuff and they seem to mean very little in BFA, if anything at all (also weird brining them in now, instead of during time of Legion invasion). Probably because they were tackled in, as Zandalari were likely intended to originally launch alongside Dark Irons, considering the fact they were both shown together, but then they decided it's better to make them available alongside Kul Tirans.

My guess is they will eventually remove all requirements to unlock allied races. Doesn't make sense to go back to very old content which is going to be one shotted within one expansion.

Or introduce TW dungeons where the necessary reputation can be grinded.

What I would like the most from Blizz is to make Argussian, Suramar etc  zone contents to be available for leveling if not from 101, but from 105. 

It is such a cool thing to go to that unique world or grow by completing the suramar quest chain.

      Solozerro has defeated Mythic Garrosh alone in MoP Remix! Congrats to the amazing feat that took months of dedication to accomplish!
      In an emotional tribute to a friend who passed away during the transition between World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions, one dedicated player has fulfilled a long-standing promise to leave their mark in the game's history.
      "I promised her I would make a name for myself in WoW history, and today, I can finally say I've done this in her honor," Solozerro said.
      This accomplishment was the result of several evenings of dedicated attempts, each preceded by a week of rigorous farming. The process spanned multiple weeks, with each attempt lasting about 15 minutes.
      The player faced significant challenges, particularly with the Y’Shaarj adds during Garrosh Hellscream’s Empowered Whirlwind phase. "You need a high DPS check just for those adds," Solozerro explained.
      Back when the fight was nearly impossible to solo as a DPS, Solo had to do it in tank specialization to avoid fight resets due to mind control, which significantly impacted their damage output.
      Despite these obstacles, the player remained steadfast. "In total, I collected over 1.5 million threads on my cloak," they said, underscoring the extent of their efforts.

      Even the recent nerfs to Garrosh Hellscream posed a unique challenge. "I overslept and when I woke up and heard about the nerfs, I was sure someone would have tried it. During the fight, I still had adds up, but luckily, I managed to meet the DPS check to avoid the Empowered Whirlwind."
      This achievement not only honors a friend's memory but also serves as an inspiration to the WoW community. "These changes will affect a lot and might actually push more people to try it," the player reflected.
      Here’s the solo video! We want to congratulate Solozerro once again and express how thrilled we are to have been part of this incredible journey!
      Solozerro's journey has come to an end today with 24 days of MoP Remix remaining! The player has soloed Mythic Garrosh after the recent raid nerfs, nearly 1 months after soloing the Paragons of Klaxxi.

      As of the War Within pre-patch, Alysrazor in the Firelands raid is bugged, preventing players from getting the Flametalon of Alysrazor mount.
      Blizzard made various updates to flying in the War Within pre-patch, and a possible side-effect could be tied to Alysrazor not leaving her spawn location when you engage her in the raid.
      Hopefully, Blizzard will soon release a fix for the issue. Until then, don't bother soloing the Firelands!
    • By Starym
      It's time for some more preliminary stats, as the pre-patch has been here a whole 3 days (well, not exactly "whole", especially considering the game time gifts)! We're taking a look at how the class changes shifted the dungeon meta, but keep in mind these are really early numbers and fewer players do Mythic+ in post-season.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      While the very top spot remains unchallenged, as Augmentation is set to rule M+ forever, the rest is pretty different! We have some Fyr'alath action right after the Evoker, as Fury and Ret fight it out over the silver, while Shadow falls down to 4th, but is still very much in the game. Unholy makes a solid leap up and passes Elemental, with Fire dropping down some. Devastation and Demonology are newcomers to the bottom 3, where Enhancement welcomes them as a pretty much permanent resident.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      Things are looking similar in the generalist bracket, but Retribution takes down Fury here and Fire is significantly higher. Survival is also doing a lot better than in the top percentiles, and Beast Mastery makes the top 10 as well.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      The tanks show basically no change whatsoever, as is customary, with only Protection Warrior managing to climb one up and leave Brewmaster at the bottom.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Holy is pushing up and then some, claiming 2nd right below the long-time emperor, Resto Druid. Shaman climbs up from much lower to grab 3rd, while Discipline falls down to the bottom.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
