Uther's Tomb Visual Update in Battle for Azeroth

Recommended Posts

XcDwApS.jpg

Uther's Tomb has been updated in Battle for Azeroth. Right now, we have no idea why it received visual updates, but Blizzard may use it as part of the Battle for Lordaeron scenario, or some other event in the future.

Uther's Tomb

I think it has something to do with the role of "the Light" in the future updates. Recently there were some datamined informations (...)

Spoiler

(...) that hint to draenor factions being in confilict with each other because the side of the light took a more fanatic standpoint (i.e. "convert to the light, or die"). There were some text revolving around Yrel and/or some light imbued orcs terrorizing the others, if i remember correctly.

We already got a hint of the light's "not so nice" viewpoint when the naaru tried to force illidan to accept his "fate".

So it might be a reason for revisiting the story of all characters of the light, and bringing their ingame components and astethics to the current level.

We might also see the spirit of Uther playing a role somehow. Maybe a character that is devoted to the light sees these things happening and starts to doubt their faith, then seeks the wisdom of someone that "knew" the light? A Paladin would definitely respect Uther enough to seek out wisdom from him.

He's a possibility, but I'd say Arator is more so - his father is completely devoted to the light, his mother wields the powers of the Void, a supposedly evil force being used in the name of good. 

If the rumours surrounding certain characters are true and their intentions, his questions about the light are probably going to be flowing freely.

This is really hard to say, "shadow" and "void" used to be different things. Demons used to be exclusively "fel", and a "void lord" wasn't a demon in early lore. We've seen the Burning Legion use both Fel and Shadow for their demons and magic in Legion (Hellfire Citadel springs to mind, with the raidboss Xhul'horac being a literal "shadowfel amalgamation")

 

In the early days - from what I understand - Shadow was just one side of the coin that also had Light. One couldn't exist without the other. Void however, used to thrive the more of it there is. Shadow and Light used to balance each other out.

 

Now, Void and Shadow are being used interchangeably on top of Fel being used interchangeably with Shadow. It turned into a mess in my opinion. Fel and Void were inherently evil while Shadow wasn't. But since Legion, even Light has shown its dark side (no pun intended), which is contradicting, because that's exactly what made Shadow risky and what it was used for.

 

Now Shadow (Alleria) is used for good and Light has shown to corrupt. It is simply no longer clear what's good or bad. Light - and to certain extent, Arcane - were the only magics allowed in the earlier empires, and for good reason.

 

Now Light can be considered worse than Shadow, which means "the general population" might be happier seeing Warlocks strolling the streets with their demons out rather than see a priest preach the Light in the cathedral.

 

It makes no sense. It's Archbishop Benedictus all over again.

 

 

TL;DR:

So Alleria = Lillith, Turalyon = Inarius and Arator is the first nephalem born out of demons and angels. World of Diablocraft is here :D

I'd say the only neutral force nowadays would be Life - it's pretty consistently been either good or passive, but I can't think of actual Life/Nature being evil at any point. Only when corrupted by another magic.

This will depend on how much the gen. pop. actually know. For many of them, Naaru, Army of the Light, Illidan etc. are just elaborate tales that happened on another planet. They've never seen a Naaru, they haven't been on the Vindicaar, they never saw Illidan.

They could just as easily continue following the Light unless we specifically remove it as an option for them.

That's hard to say. Even life magic corrupted some parts of the world. I believe that Quilboars (descendants from Agamaggan) slowly became corrupt over time for example, long before the shenanigans going on in Razorfen Downs.

 

Although admittedly, this is the only example that I know of in which life magic corrupted its environment.

I'm wondering how much of the Quilboars was due to corruption by magic, though. You could say that they are just doing as nature intends. There is limited land, food, etc. for the Quils/Orcs/Tauren etc., so are they forced to be aggressive? Like a bear needing to feed, for example?

Hmm, that's some food for thought for sure but Agamaggan's spirit did mention they strayed from his path or vision or what he called it; there was definitely something wrong if even he (it?) wanted to put a stop to them.

True. They probably started to get more aggressive due to threats to them, then took it too far. That's probably when Aga started to disapprove. Attacking Orcish/Tauren wagons to try and scare them, for example.

      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.
