Battle for Azeroth Beta Key Contest: Part 1

Recommended Posts

LK2Ltof.jpg

It's time for another beta key giveaway and we've got 150 keys to give away this week! Check out the first part of the giveaway and how to get your chance to win.

For those of you that missed out on our contest last month, we're back with another set of giveaways. We're kicking things off with a screenshot contest this week, with entries having the chance to win one of the 150 keys we are giving out.

How to Enter

In the last competition, we sent users into Darnassus, allowing them to embrace the beauty of the city while completing a timed run around the terraces. This time, we're journeying over to the Horde!

The aim of this competition is to create a screenshot in-game that personifies your feelings towards the Warchief herself, Sylvanas. Whether you are an Alliance player that wants to see the Banshee Queen fall or a Horde player that feels nothing but pride for her, we want to see you paint 1,000 words with your screenshot. Your feelings do not have to align with your faction, however, and you can definitely show us your dislike of your Warchief as a Horde player or love for Sylvanas as an Alliance player!

Once you have your screenshot, submit it to us in a comment reply to this post along with an explanation of the screenshot, but only if you feel it is necessary! If your screenshot already says enough, then it will be enough alone!

Rules and Information

Your screenshot should follow these rules:

  • Screenshots should not be altered with any form of editing program except for cropping as required.
  • Hide your UI (user interface) before taking screenshots (Alt+Z shortcut).
  • The screenshot must come from in-game, not from a model viewer of any kind.
  • Your screenshot does not need to have Sylvanas in it, but should adhere to the theme of "feelings towards Sylvanas".
  • You can use whatever in-game items you wish to improve your screenshot.

The contest will end on (CEST) Sunday, 10th June, 2018 at 11:59 P.M. Once the contest has ended, we will review the screenshots that were submitted and choose 10 that we feel complete the task in the best way. These 10 will be rewarded with a beta key each, while all other entries will be entered into a random draw. The random draw will select 140 users at random that submitted a screenshot and they will be given a beta key.

Note: You cannot win through both options. You can either win as a top 10 entry or a random pick entry, not both.

When selecting the top 10 entries, our decision is final and users cannot dispute the winners based on the content of the screenshots unless it breaks a rule of the contest, such as having photo editing applied.

Good luck to everyone that enters and we can't wait to see your entries!

The contest has now ended. Winners will be notified within the next 48 hours via forum private message.

EDIT (13/06): If you have not received a message from me on the forums, you have unfortunately not won a key. We have contacted all winners.

There will be other chances to win keys later this week and next week, so keep checking the site and our social media for announcements about those competitions going live.

Below is an entry that I thought deserved a special mention, since the small details on it made me laugh enough that it made it into the top 10 of entries. It comes from user @Nakko and contains a spoiler for Battle for Azeroth, so only view if you are comfortable with that. The pet's name really sealed the deal for this entry!

The screenshot came with the quote: "Revenge for my little pet".

To all who entered, thank you for doing so and we're sorry that you didn't receive a key this time. Fingers crossed for the next competition!

      🤠(Author's introduction)🤠

      Introduction: Before I begin I want to clarify that I am an old explorer and curious connoisseur of these players who dedicated their lives for years to a style of play within WoW, known as WoW F2P, I want to clarify the doubt of who this person is and what he came to represent and what he continues to represent today for level 20 communities, looking for information and more information I can say that this is the summarized result of this player known as Saruski, also known by other nicknames with which I will also be willing to better summarize this matter.

      👀 (What were the beginnings?) 👀

      Beginnings: Saruski started playing WoW around 2012 or 2013, but officially dedicated herself to the F2P playstyle in 2014.
      She has videos on her YouTube channel where she talks about her early experiences in WoW F2P, including her time in the Alliance and later joining the Horde. These videos provide some insight into her beginnings in the game and how she became involved with the F2P community.
      👀 (What's it called?) 👀

      Name and character: Saruski, whose real name is Andrea, is a recognized figure in the World of Warcraft (WoW) community, specifically among players who play for free (F2P).

      👀 (What is it known for?) 👀

      Pioneering the F2P community: Saruski founded and led the first international WoW F2P community on the Blizzard app. This provided a central hub for F2P players to connect, share information, and organize groups.
      Advocating for F2P players: She has been a vocal advocate for F2P players, highlighting their achievements and contributions to the WoW community.
      Creating content: Saruski has created videos and content to share her knowledge and experiences with the F2P community.

      👀 (What does Saruski mean for WoW F2P?) 👀

      Community building: Her leadership in creating the first international F2P community helped to legitimize and unify the F2P player base.
      Inspiration and representation: Saruski has shown that F2P players can achieve a high level of play and contribute meaningfully to the WoW community.
      Education and guidance: Her content has helped many F2P players learn the ropes and improve their gameplay.

      👀 (When did he retire?) 👀

      Retirement: While Saruski retired from WoW in 2020, her contributions to the F2P community remain significant. She is remembered as a pioneer, leader, and advocate for F2P players.
      Saruski, a prominent figure in the WoW F2P community, while no specific reason was publicly stated, she did create a video titled "Wow Saruski Official F2p: End Of Story | 2013-2020 (English And Spanish)" which you can find on YouTube.

      👀 (Final summary) 👀

      Summarizing: There are many players today who deserve high recognition, but it could be said that Saruski is the most well-known player and the one who marked a before and after in WOW F2P, given her career in the game and on the internet some people call her the legend of WOW F2P, but there is nothing official to call someone like that, therefore that is up to each person's discretion.
      End...

      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.
