NPCs React to Your Presence When You Get Close to Them in Shadowlands

Recommended Posts

O1WP2pf.jpg

NPCs in Shadowlands react to players' presence when you get close enough with what appears to be a new emote.

Blizzard made it so that non-player characters (also known as NPCs) in Bastion look at you (or stare into your soul) in Shadowlands when you get close.

In the first screenshot, the NPC is looking away (note the distance from the character).

In the second screenshot, I got closer and approached the Kyrian, who turned their head as they noticed my presence.

It's important to note that this does not work with every single NPC. The stewards will still mind their own business, for example.

On live servers, NPCs do not seem to have these reactions.

While we're not sure if this is exactly new, the subtle change to Kyrian NPCs adds a new layer of depth to the game. Check out the video below to see what we mean!

      Take a look at the veggie weapons coming in the War Within expansion!
      Extra Large Leak
      This is a One-Hand Mace equipped in your main hand. The item comes from Cooking and the associated spell (Extra Large Leak) suggests you need to collect 999 Twined Herbs.

      Garlic Knots
      A garlic off-Hand to keep vampires at bay. We don't know how to obtain the item at this time.

      What do you think about the new weapons? Let us know in the comments!

      Blizzard has added a completely new category to the Great Vault in the War Within. Find out more about the updated requirements!
      While we can't bring up the UI on the Alpha, based on datamining, we were able to figure out that the PvP row has been completely removed and replaced with a World row, as indicated by the new global strings for Build 54675.
      GREAT_VAULT_REWARDS_WORLD_INCOMPLETE - Complete %1$d more |4delve:delves; or |4world activity:world activities; this week to unlock a Great Vault reward. World activities count as Tier 0.|n|nThe item level of your reward will be based on your highest run this week.1 GREAT_VAULT_REWARDS_WORLD_COMPLETED_FIRST - Complete %1$d more |4delve:delves; or |4world activity:world activities; this week to unlock a second Great Vault reward. World activities count as Tier 0.1 GREAT_VAULT_REWARDS_WORLD_COMPLETED_SECOND - Complete %1$d more |4delve:delves; or |4world activity:world activities; this week to unlock a third Great Vault reward. World activities count as Tier 0.1 WEEKLY_REWARDS_THRESHOLD_WORLD - Complete %d |4Delve:Delves; or |4World Activity:World Activities; GREAT_VAULT_WORLD_TIER - Tier %s WEEKLY_REWARDS_ITEM_LEVEL_WORLD - Item Level %1$d - (Tier %2$d) WEEKLY_REWARDS_COMPLETE_WORLD - Complete a Tier %1$d delve or higher to increase this reward's item level. New World Category
      As you can see, you can complete delves or other world activities to unlock items in the new World row, which is cool for players who do not want to do Mythic+ or Raids.
      To unlock items in the new row, you must complete 3/6/12 delves or world activities. Completing world activities will be equivalent to completing a certain Tier of delves.
      To increase the reward's item level, you must complete Delves at a higher tier. We have 9 tiers in total with the last two being only for bragging rights (awarding cosmetics).
      Great Vault Requirements in the War Within
      Here are the updated requirements for the weekly chest in the War Within.
      Raids
      Defeat 2/4/6 raid bosses to unlock slots 1-3. Dungeons
      Complete 1/4/8 Heroic, Mythic, or Timewalking dungeons to unlock slots 1-3. World
      Complete 3/6/12 Delves or world activities to unlock slots 1-3.

      Struggling in delves? The new Determination buff has got your back in the War Within.
      If you’ve ever done LFR, you’re probably familiar with the Determination buff. When your raid wipes, your damage, healing, and health get a boost. Now, this same mechanic is coming to delves, which is surprising given that delves can be tackled solo or in a group.
      Delver's Determination is a buff you receive when you die too much in delves. It increases your damage, healing, and health by 5%, stacking. Every delve ends with a boss fight. If you’re finding the final boss too challenging, don’t worry. You’ll gain a stack of Delver's Determination every time the boss defeats you, giving you a better chance to succeed on your next try.
