Highlights

  • New splash screen was added.
  • Crucible of Storms loot item level has been increased as follows:

    • Normal Difficulty: 390-395
    • Heroic Difficulty: 405-410
    • Mythic Difficulty: 420-425
  • Following the introduction of Stormwind/Orgrimmar Portal Rooms in Patch 8.1.5, all portals from the Drag have been removed. Not sure if it's a bug or intended.

  • You must use the portal to Azsuna (Illidari Stand) and fly to Dalaran (Broken Isles). The Dalaran Portal Room no longer contains any portals as well. The biggest downside is the missing Caverns of Time portal.

      The WoW Companion App Retiring
      By Staff
      Blizzard is retiring the WoW Companion app with the release of the War Within pre-patch.
      (Source)
      With the release of The War Within™ pre-expansion content update, we will no longer support the WoW Companion App. After this date, players will not be able to update, download, or use the companion app and its features.
      We want to thank everyone who has used the app as their companion for their adventures over the years!

      Collector's Dilemma: High Shipping Costs a Dealbreaker for European Players
      By Staff
      If you plan on buying the physical War Within Collector's Edition and live in Europe, you're going to have a bad time!
      Blizzard has ceased distributing WoW Collector's Editions through retailers with the release of Dragonflight, making the Blizzard Store the only place to buy them. However, the shipping costs could be a dealbreaker for many collectors eager to acquire the latest edition for the upcoming expansion.
      Reddit user katamai from Serbia posted a screenshot of their order, revealing that the shipping fees exceed the cost of the box itself—280 Euros for shipping compared to 200 Euros for the box, totaling 480 Euros.

      Additionally, Emi, a follower on our Facebook page, reported a shipping cost of 99 Euros to Romania, nearly ten times what it costs to ship to the UK.

      A practical workaround might be to order the Collector's Edition to a UK address and then use a shipping service to forward it to your address in Europe, potentially saving a considerable amount of money.
      How much does it cost to ship the box to your country?

      All Variants of Customizable Delve Mount in the War Within (Video)
      By Staff
      We've already talked about and taken a first look at the Delve-specific mount coming in the War Within, but now it's time to check out all of its customization options! 
      LeystTV has delved into the mount and shown off all the options, from the different colors to nose, wing, thruster, and top customizations, with glider, blimp, helicopter looks and more! There's even different versions of Horde and Alliance decals to choose from! 

      And these may not even be all the options present at launch, not to mention new ones Blizzard might add with later patches, making this one of the cooler mounts in the game.
