The War Within Epic Edition Includes 3 Days of Early Access

Recommended Posts

Sn-mka-obrazovky-2023-11-03-o-23-12-08.j

For the first time ever, Blizzard is rolling out early access for a WoW expansion.

Want to dive into the 'War Within' expansion three days early? You'll need to spring for the Epic Edition, which will set you back 80 EUR/USD.

So, pay handsomely or you start out behind the rest. Seems legit.

While end game content will be locked (raids, mythic+), it can still give some players early advantage on auction house to set it up with their stuff.

Yup. That was my first concern. Leveling is whatever, but giving people a headstart on running the economy is messed up.

Yeah def not a good look for them to give early access to ppl willing to spend more money especially since it’s a subscription based game. To have the subscription model that’s needed to play and offer early access to ppl that pay more is just *filtered*!

My only issue with this is that I will be getting a physical collectors edition as always and it will most likely NOT ARRIVE 3 days before the official launch.

As the dumb nerd I am, I always save money for this + a physical collectors.
So I am happy for my self, but I also understand the worries for "Goblins".
I'm just hoping for the best experience, some good content, and fun.

No season stuff available, so the auction house advantage will be very limited. I just think this will ease the release-craze a bit, where not *everyone* will start playing the exact same minute and not *everyone* will be in the exact same zone. From that perspective, to me this seems like a good feature for casuals and hardcore people. It also has its drawbacks of course, but I think those are limited.

It will still give some head start to fill AH with basic items. Population isn't an issue, because we had sharding for years now. You won't see everyone who is there and zones are crossrealm. If I encounter someone, they are usually from other servers.

      Another smaller batch today, as Retribution gets a look, as well as three dungeons, and critters get a nerf!
      December 7 (Source)
      Classes
      Paladin Retribution Blessed Champion rebuilt to resolve issues such as pulling enemies that are too far away or through walls. Wake of Ashes, Searing Light, and Seething Flames revised so that they do not damage enemies through walls. Dungeons
      Critters can no longer benefit from Challenger’s Might and adorably kill your party. Black Rook Hold Addressed an issue with Fel Vomit where the line visual can fail to attach to players. Darkheart Thicket Updated Rotheart Keeper’s Vile Burst radius to match with the size of Vile Mushroom. The Everbloom Addressed an issue where Yalnu’s Verdant Eruption can stun pets and guardians.

      The fourth week of Dragonflight Season 3 is here and we're looking at the current Mythic+ tier list.
      DISCLAIMER
      The following post is based on data from U.GG. Therefore, the data presented here may differ from Petko's Mythic Tier Lists maintained on our site.
      How the Data is Calculated
      U.gg's tier list is created by evaluating damage and healing scores from the very best players and factoring in the frequency of each spec's appearances in the highest rankings of the current Mythic+ season. The tier list of each spec is determined by its effectiveness and prevalence at the highest levels of Mythic+ play.
      Mythic+ Tier List for Dragonflight Season 3 Week 4
      This week's affixes are: Tyrannical, Storming, Ranging.
      Healer Tier List
      S-Tier Mistweaver Monk A-Tier: Discipline Priest Restoration Shaman Holy Paladin B-Tier: Preservation Evoker Holy Priest C-Tier: Restoration Druid
      Tank Tier List
      S-Tier: Vengeance Demon Hunter A-Tier: Blood Death Knight Protection Paladin B-Tier: Guardian Druid Brewmaster Monk Protection Warrior
      DPS Tier List

      IamEllekk recreated Eversong Woods using Houdini and Blender and here's the result.
       As you can see in the below image, we have the characteristic Blood Elf architecture and the Burning Crystal.

      We're back in the department of fortunate loot drops, this time, with Tindral Sageswift dropping four copies of the same item.
      Tindral blessed a very lucky raid group with 4 pieces of Eternal Kindler's Greatstaff. While this isn't the record-breaking group who looted 5 Smoldering Seedlings from Larodar, it's still nice to see good old Tindral handing so many copies of the same item!

      Today's retail hotfixes bring not only the Tindral Mythic nerf, but more Amirdrassil and dungeon changes, item improvements and quest fixes! No more tabard spam!

      You can also check out today's Season of Discovery hotfixes here.
      December 6 (Source)
      Dungeons
      Throne of the Tides Updated the model used by the Ink of Ozumat to reduce the visual effects at its base. Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope Smolderon Fixed an issue where players would sometimes gain multiple stacks of Ignited Essence from 1 Living Flame. Fixed an issue where a Seeking Inferno could explode twice on Mythic difficulty. Tindral Sageswift Fallen Feathers now spawn 6 feathers on Mythic Difficulty (was 4). Items
      Fixed an issue that caused the Large Renown bag of Dragon Isles Supplies to always unintentionally contain a Dream Wardens Tabard. Fixed an issue that could cause Gift of Urctos to fail to grant its bonuses. Quests
      Fixed an issue preventing “Something Different” from being properly completed by PvP Brawls. Fixed an issue causing a Hunt choice to be unintentionally greyed out for “Aiding the Accord: The Hunt is On”.
