New Raid! Mobile App! News from PAX West.

Recommended Posts

A brand new raid was announced along with the WoW companion app for world quests and missions, Karazhan was detailed as well as the next Suramar campaign.

There were many announcements in the PAX West stream, the new raid and the app being the headliners, so let's take a look at everything:

Patch 7.1 new raid, Trial of Valor

Trial of Valor will be a very small raid set in Helheim, meant to fill the gap between the Emerald Nightmare and Nighthold. It will continue the Stormheim story of Odin and Helya, but will also have a part of Illidan's story line in there as well!

Patch 7.1 and Karazhan

Karazhan will basically be a 5 man raid as the difficulty will be higher than Mythic dungeons and it will have a weekly lockout. But that's not all - there will also be quests around the tower itself coming with the patch.

As for the dungeon itself, it'll revisit old events and put a new spin on them, with new plays at the opera and a new and much weirder chess room. If that wasn't enough there's also an upside-down and an Alice in Wonderland area.

 

Legion Mobile Companion App

The app will allow you to manage missions, class hall upgrades, champion and minion equipment/recruitment and daily quest overview. It's coming out this Tuesday for both Android and Iphones.

 

 

New Suramar Content

A weekly quest campaign lasting 9 weeks, helping the Nighfallen try to stop the Nighbourne and Legion.

 

All of this content is supposed to be on the PTR soon and sounds like a pretty content heavy first patch for Legion, which is great!

Well considering how little content we got for WoD, I am glad to see that Blizzard is taking player complaints seriously.  The app will be very useful and Kara looks awesome!

I am afraid of any raid content starting with "Trial of..." !!! :p

I believe the rule is "Trial of the" and THEN you run for your life.

wait.... adding things people actually want as well as relevant content and enough material to justify a monthly subscription fee?

well I gotta say FF14 Heavensward Wow, is really shaping up :D. Go Square Enix Blizzard devs!!!!

in all seriousness though, the content droughts in WoD were horrific and heavensward set the bar for keeping a constant flow of content available to player. i'm happy the devs are taking note and copying some of the better ideas from their competitors. We don't always need 37 boss raids, as long as you give players something relevant and fun to do, they will stay happy.

Content with this expansion seems to be burning down quick.  Normal through mythic were done by many members of our guild this first week.  Normal was...  less than difficult.  Perhaps it was supposed to be for 'starter' content...  This is my first expansion since BC when I started, as a member of a previous-content raiding guild.

Mythic dungeons aren't really there to challenge us though. Mythic+ is where things will start to get VERY difficult in dungeons.

Exactly.  Mythic was the challenge in WoD.  Now, just another tier of perhaps moderate difficulty. 

I suppose it must be easier for the LFG's and premades.

In both WoD and Legion, Mythic dungeons were never meant to be the apex of difficulty. They are just something for 5-man groups to steam through that presents slightly more challenge than heroic dungeons. The Mythic+ system will allow players that want difficulty to have it so difficult they can't kill the first mob of the dungeon, if they want that. You can have M+ dungeons that are slightly challenging, still easy enough to clear, just as you can have M+ dungeons that are so hard you will be seconds before the timer runs out completing it.

I think maybe I was just too geared in WoD to notice the difficulty of Mythic dungeons, but at least in Legion, they were never intended to be particularly hard. They just make undergeared people unable to pull huge amounts.

M+ will bring the difficulty people want.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      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 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      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.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
