A word of warning! The store is completely overloaded right now and there's all sorts of issues - people getting billed and not upgrading and things like that. Might be best to wait a while for things to steady out.

But your name... :-)

I am kind of hyped but I would not need that to say: Hell yeah, give me that early access to stuff :-)

Replacing my Mage with a Nightborne is gonna give me something to do, otherwise I would have most likely cancelled my subsricption in a few weeks.

I don't get what you think is so wrong with offering something in advance to its release. Pre ordering and pre purchasing things is almost as old as commerce itself :-)

Pretty sure it's not as faction war based as everyone thinks it is.  Yes the Horde and Alliance are going their separate ways moreso than previous expansions, but I'm pretty sure Battle for Azeroth isn't about the faction war, pretty sure it's about the way to save the nascent titansoul azeroth that Sargeras plunged his sword into.  I don't think it's the BATTLE for Azeroth, but more the Battle FOR AZEROTH.

As excited as I am that pre-orders are available...  I always end up waiting for the retail version to come out.   I really do wish they'd let us folks that prefer the retail versions pre-order as well.

As opposed to any other time we play an expansion? Lich King was a threat to Azeroth, Deathwing was a threat to Azeroth... you could keep naming them for days.

 

Just because it's a "Oh it's a titansoul!" doesn't change a thing. You lose it, you lose the way you live. One way or another it's about total extinction or subversion.

 

I mean, we've been "BATTLING FOR AZEROTH" since Warcraft 1.

Honestly, it seems pretty obvious that it's going to shift. Like it's going to start out horde vs alliance, then SUDDENLY out of no where, things are gonna start happening and we have to fight some big bad. It happens all the time, and we KNOW Azshara is gonna make an appearance already anyways.

It wouldn't be all that surprising if it went something like: Horde vs Alliance fighting > Azshara shows up > Fight Azshara > Leads the way to some old god stuff > Fight old gods and forget about dispute until next xpac

But nothing for Diablo 3?

I suppose the few people who still "develope" that game has no time beside start the new season to make some goodies for a game which have the lowest player base. Actually almost dead, right now 2(lul) people doing GR on Europe server, the game's endgame content, so.. still shame to leave that franchise like was on Blizzcon.

What is this heritage armor they were talking about in regards to the new races?

Somewhere they said that you will only unlock it when you level tose new races without a boost. What exactly is that armor? Is it even worth the effort? :D

And does anybode know wether they increase the max chars per server slots alongside with the new races? Because if not i would have to delete one of my toons which is a no go!

you get four new slots in each server coming up so no deleting of toons necessary

as far as heritage armor goes, they are trying to bring more identity and class fantasy to characters as well as making armor appearances more meaningful. So, with each new race you have heritage armor or the clothes they would be wearing naturally, almost view it as "the npc set". So when you run around high mountain you see the tauren in native american themed armor right? well with each new race when you get them to max lvl from o you earn your heritage armor set ie the set your character would have worn had they not joined horde/alliance and jsut stayed home. this is meant to give them more identity.

the appeal to this (or at least what they hope) is that your character can wear this armor set regardless of their class. so dark iron dwarves are all hardcore plate wearers, well with the heritage set being plate you could be a priest or a mage and wear your plate gear heritage set even though traditionally you can only wear cloth.

so its meant to try and give your character identity and build fantasy, because up until now aside from racial bonuses which race you chose didn't really mean anything or matter, aside from gob, worg, and panda your starter area was very minimal. so they are trying to make you feel that you aren't just a death knight or a warrior you are now a high mountain hunter or a lightforget dranei pally. 

tldr trying to make things fun and give meaning to stuff that lost meaning

      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.

    • By Starym
      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.
