World of Warcraft Patch 8.1 Patch Notes Patch 8.1 hits live servers tomorrow and here are the official patch notes!

Here come the inaugural hotfixes of Tides of Vengeance! We have the Spirit Mend fix for BM Hunters that was previously tweeted, a big nerf for Synaptic Spark Capacitor Azerite Trait and a whole lot more trait nerfs in PvP. We also get some profession tweaks, with cooking being the focus, stamina food in particular. Today at 01:46 by Starym

8.1: Tides of Vengeance Is Now Live in the Americas

8.1 has arrived (in the Americas anyway) and Blizzard have a post with everything that's arrived and is yet to arrive in the latest Battle for Azeroth patch. We've seem a lot of this before, but there's a new trailer in there as well! If you want to know even more about the patch you can check out our own coverage: Yesterday at 22:18 by Starym 2 comments

The official Tides of Vengeance patch notes have arrived and we've updated all our Class guides for Patch 8.1! Dec 10, 2018 at 22:42 by Stan 17 comments

Tides of Vengeance Live Developer Q&A: December 14th

Blizzard just announced a live developer Q&A taking place later this week. Game Director Ion Hazzikostas will answer your questions related to the latest content update - Patch 8.1. Dec 10, 2018 at 18:29 by Stan

The article aims to explain content that will not be available immediately when Tides of Vengeance goes live this week. Dec 10, 2018 at 15:55 by Stan 13 comments

If you pre-order the Warcraft III: Spoils of War Edition, you will receive the Meat Wagon mount this week in World of Warcraft. Dec 10, 2018 at 13:36 by Stan 8 comments

With a fair amount of game adaptations heading over to Netflix in TV show form, the most recent and significant being the Witcher, Str1der has taken it upon himself to make a trailer for what a World of Warcraft show might look like. With the Warcraft movie not having done so well and having somewhat deviated from the original lore (although, so has the game itself at this point), it would really be a nice thing to see all the ancillary content featured in novels and comics etc. brought together in TV show format.

The Hivemind Hunt & Warcraft Secrets Website

The Hivemind is a new secret mount that will become available with Tides of Vengeance. Check out the model and join the hunt on Tuesday! Dec 09, 2018 at 00:44 by Stan 3 comments

Iway is back with another interesting soloing video. The player managed to solo Atal'Dazar +13 with his Demon Hunter in almost 8 hours. Congratulations! Dec 08, 2018 at 19:47 by Stan 2 comments

World of Warcraft's third expansion was released on this day 8 years ago. Dec 07, 2018 at 17:30 by Stan 6 comments

Turning Off War Mode Outside Capital Cities in 8.1

Some more PTR news, as redditor RVD3 has noticed we'll now be able to disable War Mode inside rest zones instead of only being able to do it in Stormwind and Orgrimmar. You'll still only be able to turn on War Mode in the Alliance and Horde capitals, however, but this should help with some frustrating gank/camping situations, or when you just want to finish up that world quest and don't want to be bothered. You still need to get to an inn or similar, so turning War Mode on is still risky, just not as much as before. Dec 07, 2018 at 07:35 by Starym 11 comments

Patch 8.1 Summary and Survival Guide [Official]

After the new Warfront, pet dungeon and Faction Assault previews, here comes the big one, summarizing the new content coming in Tides of Vengeance in video and text form! We're also getting the raid, Mythic+ and PvP season schedules and more!

You can also check out more details on all the new events coming in our own 8.1 hub! Dec 06, 2018 at 18:11 by Starym 12 comments

No Crossover Rewards Between Classic & Retail WoW

WoW Classic will not be for everyone and the goal is to deliver the most authentic Vanilla experience. There will be zero crossover of rewards between Classic and Retail versions of the game, but the team may explore adding Collector's Edition pets to those, who purchased the original Collector's Edition.

Titan Residuum and Azerite Armor in Patch 8.1

Thaumaturge Vashreen returns in Patch 8.1 and sells Relinquished Azerite Armor tokens as well as specific Azerite pieces for a new Mythic+ currency called Titan Residuum that can be acquired from scrapping Azerite gear after TIdes of Vengeance goes live. Dec 06, 2018 at 16:23 by Stan 3 comments

There are more GCD changes coming with 8.1 next week and we're getting some specifics for what's coming off the GCD directly from Ythisens over on the official forums, featuring DH, Druid, Warrior and Hunters abilities. Dec 05, 2018 at 22:04 by Starym 27 comments

Patch 8.1: Faction Assaults Official Preview

Here comes another preview for one of the new features coming in patch 8.1, and this time it's Faction Assaults. These World Quests are similar to Legion Assaults and will occur in Zandalar and Kul Tiras, alternating between the two. There's also event specific bonuses to get out in the world such as potions and bombs, that will help out. The events will also help out with BfA leveling, as completing each gives a 1 hour XP buff and bonus reputation, War Resources, and new gear (item level 325–370) for max level characters. They are timed events and their duration will be marked on the world map, so keep an eye out. Dec 05, 2018 at 18:12 by Starym 3 comments

The Story of Derek Proudmoore in Patch 8.1

From the War Campaign so far we know that the Horde was able to recover Derek Proudmoore's body, but what awaits the once commander of the Third Fleet in Tides of Vengeance? Check out the article to learn more, but beware, it's full of story spoilers! Dec 05, 2018 at 14:11 by Stan 2 comments

An overview of all in-game events taking place this month in World of Warcraft. Dec 04, 2018 at 23:26 by Stan 1 comment

It's time for an official look to the next Warfront coming next week with Tides of Vengeance, with a new cycle, changes to the various phases, new rewards and a new reward currency! Starting off in Horde hands (or, well, Forsaken hands), the Alliance will soon assault it after an intro quest line with the night elves. The usual Warfront cycle will be shortened as well, at least for this month, so everyone can get to experience each side before the holidays. Dec 04, 2018 at 18:16 by Starym 5 comments

Pet Battle Dungeon: Gnomeregan (Official Preview)

Patch 8.1: Battle of Dazaralor Release Date?

It seems we may now know when the Battle for Dazar'alor will be releasing, as so far it's only been mentioned as coming in January. Redditor rocki12345 has noticed that part 4 of the 8.1 War Campaign starts on January 22nd, as marked on the PTR in-game calendar. Part 5 is set after the events of the raid so 4 should, in fact, be the raid itself. That's 6 weeks after patch 8.1 launches, with Mythic coming the week later, as usual.
