Recommended Posts

Clipboard01.jpg

Blizzard at BlizzCon today announced World of Warcraft: Worldsoul Saga, comprised of 3 chapters (or expansions)!

2023-11-03_20_33_39-1_BlizzCon_2023__Ope

Chris Metzen just revealed that Blizzard will deliver us a whole new way of storytelling that will be comprised of 3 chapters / expansions, instead of just one.

Worldsoul Saga is comprised of 3 chapters:

  • The War Within
  • Midnight
  • The Last Titan

Hopefully, this will lead to a less rushed story where things can actually progress naturally rather than suddenly.

Sounds like they are leaning even more into copying Marvel with their sagas. These expansions start sounding more like seasons than proper expansions. Story themes seem rehashed, so it looks like they have a lot of filler planned before something meaningful happens, like with Dragonflight. Also all that stuff about Avaloren turned out to be fake.

Certainly a different way to do it. Holding out hope this is actually going to be executed well.

Yeah, my worry is if these won't turn into season passes, just with extra steps. We will know for sure much later, but these could be shorter expansions with less tiers of raids for example.

That is such a legitimate fear giving given the M$ takeover that it makes me a bit nauseous.

What made me worried is that they mentioned how they want to deliver content faster. So "expansion" every year, but with half amount the content of the usual one? And, tbh new race is rather underhwelming, another reskin, so I don't see these rocky dwarves being played much. Well, at least I'm glad Avaloren leaks turned out to be fake, these looked way worse.

They've said the annual expansion "hopes" before as well, didn't really work out that way 😄 I don't see this as changing anything to how it's been done until now. .2 being the final patch has been a thing for 2 expansions now and it's probably continuing on, so they can't really make it even shorter either. This is just them saying "forget the Jailer, forget Shadowlands, we have an actual plan, trust us". And I kinda do, at least more than in the BfA Shadowlands era (Dragonflight is sort of a one-off to me, not really properly connected to anything, even if it does set up the new Saga).

Well, Jailer warned us about something coming, so I guess those are the Void Lords. Perhaps they aren't completely forgottening about Shadowlands, since even Dragonflight referenced some stuff from it (like us going to Ardenweald to swap Malfurion for Ysera). This expansion seems to be mostly a set up and we are supposed to have our final confrontation with them in Midnight. Then The Last Titan, hopefully they aren't pulling some cliche about "actually all Titans are evil" or something, but the title suggests all of them will die, perhaps except Azeroth herself or Sargeras (if he becomes an ally). About expansions' releases, I hope you are right. We certainly don't need any more rushed expansions.

      The Team Liquid and Raider.io organized Mythic+ Charity Pro-Am tournament is back for the fourth year and will be bringing a lot of fun dungeon runs on May 25th! Signups for the amateur side of the coin are still open today, so if you wanted to try your hand at this really fun format, you still can! 
      As with the last three iterations, the tournament features professional MDI/TGP players getting teamed up with amateur players, with teams consisting of 2 pros, 2 amateurs and 1 content creator! 6 teams will fight it out to see who can reach the highest key in 5 hours, with proceeds from the whole thing going to charity! The pro-am has raised over $125,000 for charity so far, with last year alone having brought in $56,000! 
      The always entertaining event starts on May 25th, so set your calendars, and remember to register today if you wanted to participate! You can find all the details for the event over on Raider.IO's hub.

      We have the return of flightstones and crests to dungeons, as well as crest-related achievement fixes, and the reduction of required dreamseeds for the weekly quest arrive to retail in today's hotfixes, with a few improvements for SoD and Cata Classic as well!
      May 8 (Source)
      Items
      Fixed an issue that prevented Heroic, Mythic, and Mythic+ dungeons from dropping Flightstones and Awakened Crests correctly. Fixed a bug impacting players’ ability to properly earn “The Awakened Drake”, “The Awakened Wyrm”, and “The Awakened Aspects”, which allow for Awakened Crests to be traded up with Vaskarn in Valdrakken. Quests
      “Blooming Dreamseeds” now require 3 planted seeds instead of 5 as the text originally states.
        Season of Discovery
      Fixed an issue with Efflorescence generating frequent immune messages on totems.
        Cataclysm Classic
      Professor Thaddeus Paleo has returned to Stormwind and Orgrimmar to continue collecting Darkmoon decks and he will continue to do so until the opening of Darkmoon Faire Island.

      Blizzard is rolling back the changes made to the Destruction Warlock's Inferno in Patch 10.2.7 due to unintended scaling reductions.
      Inferno will be redesigned in the War Within expansion to address how Destruction scales in power in relation to target count.
      (Source)
      Hello, Destruction Warlocks.
      With the release of 10.2.7 yesterday, the scaling of Inferno became heavily reduced when Rain of Fire affects more than 5 targets. We investigated this, and found it was a change that was originally implemented with Shadowlands Season 4, and later became unintentionally broken with the launch of Dragonflight and went unnoticed.
      With the release of 10.2.7, the reduced scaling was inadvertently fixed when unrelated changes were made.
      Considering the timing of this, we’re going to remove the reduced scaling. In The War Within, we plan to redesign Inferno to address how Destruction scales in power in relation to target count.
      Thank you for the reports regarding this issue and we hope to have the fix implemented soon.

      With the release of Dark Heart, Blizzard has not only reverted Taivan to his former size, but also added new animations for the goodest boy!
      We've got some great news for Taivan owners. Blizzard not only brought his size up, but also added unique animations for the mount. Previously, Taivan was using wolf mount animations. Now his running animation and /mountspecial is different from what we've seen before the update!

      Many players took to Reddit to share the new size of the goodest boy!

      Here we are looking at week 2 of Season 4, just before the patch 10.2.7 tuning! While the raids change every week and the rankings drastically shift with them, the dungeons remain the same and we get a lot more stability, so let's take a look.
      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
      The top 4 remain the same, but we do see Frost Mage on the rise right after that, taking down Outlaw for 5th. Retribution is much improved this week, gaining 5 spots in 7th, with Devastation joining the Paladin on its upward trip, with a very stable Elemental sandwiched between them. Arms closes out the top 10 one spot down.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      The generalist bracket is less stable, as we see a change at No.4 already, with Destruction moving 2 up and pushing Outlaw down. Retribution is on a wild ride here as well, 4 up in 6th, while Frost is slowly making its way upward right behind the Paladin. Arms is actually moving up here unlike in the top percentiles, one up in 8th, just in front of a falling Subtlety and a rising Devastation.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Destruction remains in power in the raw DPS charts, while its fellow Warlock drops down quite a bit as Shadow claims the silver. Elemental rises 2 spots into 3rd just ahead of the unstoppable Retribution, which finds itself 7 up! The rest is mostly the same, just making room for the newcomers, with Unholy closing out the top 10 three spots up.

      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
