Naga Terrarium Animated Back Item in Patch 10.2 and 11.0 Expansion Hints?

Recommended Posts

Clipboard01.jpg
 

There's a very interesting item datamined on the patch 10.2 PTR and, combined with one other hint, might be pointing to 11.0.

The "Naga Terrarium", which is pretty clearly actually an aquarium, is a backpack-type (presumably) cosmetic item. It's extremely unique and we haven't seen anything quite like it yet. Let's take a look first and then continue speculating.

And here it is in action, with some really nice animations:

So, the theme doesn't quite match with the Emerald Dream and it doesn't really feel like it would come from any of the usual sources, even the Trading Post. One of the potential things it could come from is the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket (now renamed the "BlizzCon Collection", since all the streams will be free). Another is as a reward for a potential deluxe edition of 11.0. We've seen future expansions hinted at by datamined items before, specifically with Dragonflight and its deluxe edition's Emerald Drake mount. And if you're thinking it's way too early for something like that and 11.0 now, well, the Dragonflight mount was datamined during the patch 9.1.5 PTR.

Another thing hinting at a possible naga-themed 11.0 is the recent Dawn of the Infinite cinematic we recently took a look at, as the silhouette in the portal may just be Azshara herself!

While some have speculated that the figure is Xal'atath, the sentient entity from the Priest Artifact, Xal'atath, Blade of the Black Empire Xal'atath, Blade of the Black Empire, the naga queen might be a better fit. The last time we actually saw her, she was literally going into a Void portal, very much like the one Iridikron went into above, while talking about basically going after the power of the Void Lords.

All of this is highly speculative, of course, but such a unique back item could be pretty significant. DO you think this may be a hint at 11.0 or am I overthinking things?

      Blizzard has just posted development notes for this week's War Within Alpha build! Azj-Kahet, the final zone, is available for testing along with two new dungeons, and the usual class changes!
      This week's War Within Alpha build introduces Azj-Kahet and the City of Threads and Ara-Kara, City of Echoes dungeons. A new battleground called Deephaul Ravine is added, featuring a mining theme with dynamic mechanics like controlling mine carts.
      Blizzard has made significant progress toward making achievements account-wide rather than character-specific in this build.
      UI improvements include more interactive character selection screens, and enhanced visuals.

      Here is this week’s update to The War Within Alpha:
      NEW ZONES AND DELVES
      Azj-Kahet NEW DUNGEONS
      City of Threads Ara-Kara, City of Echoes NEW BATTLEGROUND: DEEPHAUL RAVINE
      Deephaul Ravine is themed in The Ringing Deeps where the Foreman Uzjax and Architect Ruffious are tasked with collecting as much valuable ore, gems, and crystals for their respective priorities. Ruffious the Unbound Earthen has big plans for the ore and gems found in the Deephaul Ravine, but the Machine Speakers of the Earthenworks are quite possessive of such precious materials. Uzjax and his team plan to secure these materials before Ruffious and his band of misfits get their hands on it. Mechanics 8v8 and 10v10 Battleground that will be available in all battleground modes. Hybrid map in which teams earn points by controlling either of the two active mine carts that move along the tracks on the map, or capturing a lucrative gem (the Deephaul Crystal) that is located in the middle of the map. The Deephaul Crystal can be returned at either capture point located on the high ground on the opposing sides of the map. Additionally, there’s a mine cart track that runs above the battleground playspace where players can hop in a cart vehicle to quickly traverse the map, allowing for quick engagements and repositioning. How to playtest: open the Group Finder (default hotkey: i), then select Random Battleground and click Join Battle! Only the Deephaul Ravine map will be available as a Random Battleground map for Alpha. WARBANDS
      Roughly 2000 achievements from Dragonflight and earlier have been switched from character specific to account wide in order to allow your entire Warband to make progress on them. Please note, based on the quirks of implementation, any incomplete achievements that were converted will lose all progress on alpha with this change. In the live game, these achievements will go through a conversion process which will either merge progress across all characters in your Warband together, or take the furthest progress from each character in cases where merging wouldn’t make sense (e.g. Working the Isles: Obtain 100 skill points in a “Legion” category of two primary professions" ). Developer’s note: Your thoughts and feedback about specific achievement changes is appreciated. Please note that this feature is still in development and there may be some adjustments in which final achievements become account wide before launch! CHARACTER LEVEL
      Developers’ note: With each phase, we encourage players to make a new template character and avoid using their previous characters as they could potentially be in a broken state. After making a new template character, make sure to talk to Questzertauren and he will prepare you for any available content.
      Level 78 Character Template Maximum Level: 80 Earthen characters have been temporarily disabled. CLASSES
      The following Hero Talents are available for playtesting in Public Alpha 4: SHAMAN Stormbringer (Elemental/Enhancement) Stormbringer Shaman are all about harnessing the storms, increasing the power of their lightning spells and gaining access to a new lightning ability, Tempest. DEATH KNIGHT New Talent: Subduing Grasp – When you pull an enemy the damage they deal to you is reduced by 4% for 6 seconds. Located at Rune Mastery’s previous location. New Talent: Osmosis – Anti-Magic Shell increases healing received by 15/25%. Located at Unholy Bonds previous location. New Talent: Null Magic – Magic Damage taken is reduced by 15% and the duration of harmful Magic effects against you are reduced by 35%. New capstone choice node with Vestigial Shell replacing Soul Reaper. New Talent: Vestigial Shell – Casting Anti-Magic Shell grants 2 nearby allies a Lesser Anti-Magic Shell that absorbs magic damage and reduces the duration of harmful Magic effects against them by 50%. New capstone choice node with Null Magic replacing Soul Reaper. New Talent: Ice Prison – Chains of Ice now also roots enemies for 4 seconds but its cooldown is increased to 12 seconds. Available in gate 1 after Blinding Sleet. New Talent: Rune Protection – Your chance to be critically struck is reduced by 3% and your Armor is increased by 3/6%. Replaces Icy Talons old position within the tree. Chains of Ice is now granted baseline and learned at level 13. Anti-Magic Shell is now granted baseline and learned at level 14. Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle can now be Runeforged on 1-handed weapons. Rune of Hysteria has been removed. Developer’s note: Rune of Hysteria was a problematic design especially as it pertains to Breath of Sindragosa and the volatility of its uptime. We felt that for the overall health of the spec it would be best to remove Hysteria at this time to better enable us to meet our goals with the upcoming changes to Breath. Empower Rune Weapon has been removed. Developer’s note: This will still be available for Frost in their spec tree but both Blood and Unholy were often flooded with resources and a big unnecessary contributor to this was Empower Rune Weapon. To better dial in resources on Blood and Unholy we feel its best to keep Empower Rune Weapon for Frost only. Abomination Limb no longer grants Bone Shield, Runic Corruption, or Rime based on specialization. Developer’s note: In Shadowlands it was important for the spec hooks to exist to better balance between the other covenant ability choices. With its re-introduction in Dragonflight its added to the influx of resources/procs that can often come at inopportune times or add to the feeling of being unable to spend down the bonuses it grants. By removing this it allows the ability to “breathe” on its own and lean into its strength of AoE control and damage. Rune of the Apocalypse has been updated: War Effect Damage taken increased to 4% (was 1%). Duration increased to 10 seconds (was 6 seconds). Pestilence Effect Damage increased by 500%. Famine Effect Damage dealt to the caster reduced to 5% (was 2%). Death Effect Healing reduction increased to 5% (was 1%).

Veteran of the Third War now grants 20% Stamina (was 10%). Now a 1-rank talent (was 2). Icy Talons Now increases attack speed per stack by 6% (was 3%). Now a 1-rank talent (was 2). Unholy Bond now increases effectiveness of Runeforge effects by 20% (was 10%). Now a 1-rank talent (was 2). Assimilation now reduces the cooldown of Anti-Magic Zone by 30 seconds. No longer increase Runic Power when absorbing damage. Suppression now grants an additional 6% damage reduction to area of effects when you suffer a loss of control effect. Moved to gate 3. Blood Scent Leech increased to 5%. Moved to gate 3. Blood Draw now also grants a buff reducing damage taken by 10% and reducing Death Strike cost by 10 for 8 seconds when falling below 30% health. Now a 1-rank talent. Moved to the left capstone position. Unholy Ground moved to gate 1 available after Cleaving Strikes. Sacrificial Pact is now a choice node with Enfeeble. Runic Attenuation moved to gate 1 available after Coldthirst.

Army of the Dead cooldown reduced to 3 minutes (was 8 minutes). Apocalypse cooldown reduced to 45 seconds (was 90 seconds). Dark Transformation cooldown reduced to 45 seconds (was 60 seconds). Vile Contagion cooldown reduced to 45 seconds (was 90 seconds). Festermight now functions like Ironfur, allowing multiple instances to overlap. Ruptured Viscera is no longer a choice node with Magus of the Dead. Ebon Fever is no longer a choice node with Bursting Sores and is available directly after Bursting Sores. Updated to also affect Frost Fever and Blood Plague if Superstrain is talented. Unholy Blight moved to gate 1. The following talents have been removed: Replenishing Wounds Army of the Damned Unholy Command Feasting Strike DEMON HUNTER Fel-Scarred Fixed several issues with Burning Blades and Demonsurge not interacting with other talents. Demonic Intensity tooltip updated – Activating Metamorphosis greatly empowers Eye Beam/Fel Devastation, Immolation Aura, and Sigil of Flame.

New Talent: One With the Wind – You have a 10% chance to not reset your Elusive Brawler stacks on a successful dodge. New Talent: August Blessing – When you would be healed above maximum health, you instead convert an amount equal to 40% of your critical strike chance to a heal over time effect. New Talent: Ox Stance – Casting Purifying Brew grants charges/stacks of Ox Stance, based on Stagger level. When you take damage that is greater than 60% of your current health, a charge is consumed to increase the amount you Stagger. New Talent: Black Ox Adept – Rising Sun Kick grants a stack of Ox Stance. New Talent: Heightened Guard – Ox Stance will now trigger when an attack is larger than 50% of your current health.

Revolving Whirl now additionally reduces the cooldown of Whirling Dragon Punch by 5 seconds. Fury of Xuen now increases Critical Strike chance (was haste) and Invokes Xuen, the White Tiger for 10 seconds (was 8 seconds). Fixed an issue that caused Jade Ignition’s damage to be reduced during Storm, Earth, and Fire. Skytouch has been removed. PRIEST Voidweaver Void Blast base insanity generation reduced to 6 (was 8). Depth of Shadows’ chance to summon a Shadowfiend reduced. ROGUE New Talent: Shadowheart – Leech increased by 3% while Stealthed. Acrobatic Strikes has been redesigned – Auto-attacks increase auto-attack damage and movement speed by 1% for 3 seconds, stacking up to 10%. Developer’s note: Acrobatic Strikes no longer increases the range of melee attacks. We are revisiting increased melee range talents across the game, and most are being removed. Default melee range has increased since these talents were originally created, allowing specs with increased range to attack from well outside where it appears they should be able to. Cut to the Chase moved from Assassination talent tree to baseline all specs, triggering from Envenom/Dispatch/Eviscerate. Vanish’s guaranteed stealth duration now 1.5 seconds in PvP combat (base 3 seconds). Tight Spender now reduces Energy cost of finishing moves by 6% (was 10%).

Kingsbane damage bonus per poison application now has a stated cap at 1000% from 50 stacks (was 1980% at 99 stacks). Kingsbane base damage over time increased by 6%. Developer’s note: Kingsbane was originally intended to be uncapped, but abilities and talents introduced in the Dragonflight expansion allowed players to reach its previously-unreachable hidden cap. Increasing or removing the cap in the current environment would reinforce poor gameplay outcomes and continue to constrain talent options, so a lower cap is being introduced with the intention of having Kingsbane remain a valuable component of any build that includes it, but not by being required as every build’s all-important main character. Sepsis has been removed. Outlaw Ace Up Your Sleeve now grants 4 combo points when triggered (was 5). Mastery: Main Gauche damage increased by 24%. Adrenaline Rush has been updated: No longer increases global cooldown recovery rate by 25% while active. Now increases global cooldown recovery rate equal to your Haste while active, up to 25%.

Underhanded Upper Hand no longer affects Slice and Dice duration and no longer grants 3 seconds of Subterfuge duration (Stealth ability use). Crackshot’s Dispatch effectiveness reduced to 50% (was 75%). Thief’s Versatility now increases Versatility by 3% (was 4%). Some talents have moved locations. Sepsis has been removed. Subtlety Premeditation has been redesigned – After entering Stealth, your next combo point generating ability generates full combo points. Invigorating Shadowdust now reduces cooldowns by 10/20 seconds (was 15/30 seconds). Shadow Dance moved from the Class talent tree to Subtlety talent tree. Shadow Focus now reduces costs by 5%. Some talents have moved locations. WARLOCK Hellcaller Seeds of Their Demise has been redesigned – Blackened Soul damage increased by 30%. When Blackened Soul deals damage, you have a chance to gain Ritual of Ruin/Tormented Crescendo. Malevolence, Wither, and Seeds of Their Demise icons have been updated. Demonology You now have a 35% chance (was 100% chance) to generate a Demonic Core from your summoned Dreadstalkers when they fade. Destruction New Talent: Devastation – Increases the Critical Strike chance of your Destruction spells by 5%. New Talent: Emberstorm – Increases the damage done by your Fire spells by 2/4% and reduces the cast time of your Incinerate spell by 10/20%. New Talent: Decimating Bolt – Hurl bolts of decimating magic at your target, dealing Shadow damage and increase the damage of your next 3 Incinerates by 40%. Decimating Bolt’s damage, and the bonus to Incinerate both increase as your target’s health decreases. New Talent: Summoner’s Embrace – Increases the damage dealt by your spells and your demon by 3%. Ruin has been redesigned – Increases the Critical Strike damage of your Destruction spells by 5/10%. Inferno has been redesigned – Rain of Fire damage is increased by 20% and its Soul Shard cost is reduced by 1. Decimation has been redesigned – Your Incinerate and Conflagrate casts on targets that have 35% or less health reduces the cooldown of Soulfire by 5 seconds and reduce its cast time by 40% for 10 seconds. Chaos Incarnate has been redesigned – Chaos Bolt, Rain of Fire, and Shadowburn always gain 70% of the maximum benefit from your Mastery: Chaotic Energies. Chaos Bolt has been removed from the Destruction specialization tree and is now baseline. Conflagrate has been moved to row 1. Backdraft has been moved to row 2.

The following talents have been removed: Avatar of Destruction Chaosbringer USER INTERFACE AND ACCESSIBILITY
      Improved clarity when enchanting items: Cursor highlight when mousing over items that can be enchanted by current enchantment Dimming icons of non-enchantable items Animations when an item has been enchanted Updates to many world map icons, including: Rare, Rare Elite, Cave Entrances, Teleporters, Great Vault, Catalyst Convertor, Digsites, Pet Bettles, Dungeon, and Raid. Checkboxes for tracking have been added to the quest log for easier management. Characters on the character select screen are now directly clickable within the scene. The Group Manager has been updated with new art and feature improvements, including: Additional options to restrict group pings Easier access to both world and unit raid markers UI panel reorganized so related options are together in sections Added instance options previously only found in the character portrait dropdown Health bars have been updated with a visualization that shows the percentage of temporary max health that is depleted.

      We're back to dungeon achievements and the sweet, sweet mounts they provide. And the Shadowlands version offers up a really cool one too, the Voracious Gorger!

      Unlike most of these types of videos we've covered so far, this one will require another player for two of the achievements, so do keep that in mind. Danta takes us through all the required achievements and everything you'll have to do for them, showing the easiest and fastest way to get them done.
      The two achievements you'll need an extra player for are the orb-gathering I Can See My House From Here and the bloody Highly Communicable.

      It seems Cataclysm Classic is bringing change to everyone's minds, as LucasVerBeek took it upon himself to rework the two faction capitals!
      It's been a while since we saw some major changes to the two cities, and LucasVerBeek has modified quite a lot and even expanded them! While Stormwind is fully completed, Orgrimmar is still a work in progress, and when it's done we'll be getting full lore documents to explain all the changes. Meanwhile let's take a look at the Alliance capital first, as well as accompanying explanations for a few of the changes.

      Source: Stormwind 3.0 is Finished, moving on to Orgrimmar.
      Here is the initial "changelog", before the whole thing was finished:
      Stormwinds Updates Include:
      The canal between the Cathedral Square and the Trade District has become an unofficial nobles district, as noble families have purchased housing.
      Old Town: Not much has changed, but the Defias Remnant have found their way back into Stormwind, establishing themselves as vigilantes and working thieve's guild.
      Lamb's Shadow: While still part of the Mage Quarter, most natives consider it its own subculture, the name being a polite way to talk about its centerpiece: The Slaughtered Lamb. This area has grown, seeing permanent enclaves of Illadari and Death Knights joining the Warlocks, and also seeing a number of Void Elves migrate to the area.
      Quadhammer District: Formally the Dwarven District, the district has evolved and grown, becoming a center of artifice with smaller enclaves of each of the Alliance's more smithing and inventing inclined races: Bronzebeards, Gnomes(Mecha and Otherwise), Dark Irons, and Draenei in that order. The keep near the district that is basically a big nothing-in-game has become the centerpiece of the Lightforged forces within the city, established by Turalyon not long after he took command.
      The Pandarian Quarter: Growing from the visiting Tuishi and mainland Pandaren people, the area has become a training ground for monks and a lively entertainment district with a number of new inns and pubs popping up across the lake. Little Pearfin is a subsection of the quarter beneath the waves home to emigrated Jinyu.
      Kur'Dor Point: With the growth of the Pandarian Quarter, the Shamans of the Earthern Ring felt a desire to grow closer to nature and moved into Stormwind's northern Mountains. Here, a fusion of Wildhammer and Draenei architecture juts into the sky and has become a font of Shamanistic learning for the Alliance.
      Everwood District: Feeling disquieted in a city more stone and mortar than leaf and bough the Darnassian refugees petitioned Anduin to be able to settle in the small wood outside Stormwind to the south-east, near the Genasaur Grave. While many have since left for Belameth, or older Night Elf Territories, others remain having set down roots and training others in the Druidic arts. Notably, most of the current citizens of Everwood are Firbolgs, feeling ignored and underrepresented by the plights of their former neighbors.
      Wollerton: Sometimes mockingly referred to as Wolverton, became a sizable Gilnean enclave, though most of the Worgen citizens took to the Everwood District instead, as it allowed easier access to the wider Elwynn Forest. The Embassy, was moved into the Keep by Turalyon, and the building now sits as an unofficial town hall.
      Swellnook: A influx of Kul Tiran immigrants saw a reformating of the city's docks, and the rise of a small seaside community of fisherfolk and carpenters, that remains Kul Tiran dominated to this day, excluding the Waveblade Ankoan, who live nearest to the docks, and visiting Tortollans.
      Creche Obsidian: The newest enclave to arise in Stormwind, the Dracthyr build it with advisement from the Blue and Black Dragonflights, a glassing tower of stone that sits as an outpost for the Obsidian Warders. As a show of good faith, Deathwing's jaw was moved into the small valley beside the tower.
      And here are a few questions answered on the final piece:
      If you look at the lake to the south east there are Jinyu living beneath the waves
      The Nelves moved the Hyjal portal there and also settled that area because of the remains of the Genesaur flooding the area around their with Spirit/Life Magic. It’s becoming a place for other races to learn about Druidism
      The Everbloom portal has been changed to be a connection to Hyjal
      Then we're on to Orgrimmar, which isn't quite done yet so looks a lot more sparse:

      Source: Orgrimmar 3.0 is coming along.
       
      They are some pretty cool modifications (and expansions), made Inkarnate, so thanks to LucasVerBeek for some impressive work, and we hope he finished it all up and we get the full lore dump!

      We've looked at the number of Mythic+ runs completed during the second week of Dragonflight Season 4!
      The chart provided by MythicPlusPoster allows us to compare these figures to those from earlier Dragonflight seasons.

      This season, Blizzard has adjusted dungeon difficulty settings, making both Heroic and Mythic levels not only suitable for gearing up but also comparable to the Mythic 2-10 keys from Season 3, which were counted in the Mythic+ totals. With Season 4's M +0 being on par with Season 3's M 2-10, it's logical to see a decrease in numbers.
      In the first week of Season 4, players completed 1,486,891 Mythic+ runs.
      By the second week, the number of runs increased to 1,710,477, which is understandable as players had better gear and could tackle higher Mythic keys.
      During Dragonflight Season 1, players completed 1,874,934 runs in the second week. In Season 2, that number rose to 2,151,658. In the second week of Season 3, the count of Mythic+ runs was 2,646,932.
