I'm not sure even want to play after this month so skip it. The azerite system in the expansion is too shaky to buy right now a 160 days sub.

Damn you, Blizzard. Now I'll have to go back to WoW.

Welcome to World of Warcrack, I mean Warcraft. The game is fine if you're super casual, though I think they'll improve in 8.1

Two things really tempt me to go back to WoW: Kultiran Humans and now this bloody mount.

The game is also fine if you're more hardcore and don't pay attention to WQ's outside of emissary requirements. M+ is a lot of fun for me and my friends even if the rewards are rather low. I started falling into the "MUST DO ALL WQ's!" trap in the first two weeks and then decided it's a bad idea because of burnout risks. The fact that the amulet requirements drop every week by ~30% means I don't feel forced to grind every single azerite WQ out there either, and rather just do M+ for quite less azerite rewards.

 

The game is miles better when you do M+ and raids with friends though. It is an incredible difference in player experience when you pug things, both in M+ timer and raid results & the fact that it's just more enjoyable to experience things with friends.

 

The latter is definitely a dealmaker/breaker for me. If I had no friends to play this game with, I'd just stop.

To be fair, even with all its limitations and shortcomings, current WoW is one of the best WoW ever, always plenty, varied (say all you want but there are more reward-relevant World Quest types leading you to different places in the world than there ever were daily quests before) and rewarding content to do and so much to explore if you are new!

Can't wait to get my Mag'har / Dark Iron leveling and almost finished with Zandalari / Kul'tiran rep requirements just by doing the AP quests, also Mythrax and G'huun Mythic need killing for my guild still and I'm looking forward to Famed Slayer of G'huun on both horde and alliance side this tier, and the next MDI to cheer for my boye Ashine, so much exciting stuff happening!

The only real criticism I have about current WoW is the fact that I can't experience the full story (And upcoming raid) by playing only one faction. I have no idea about any of the Drustvar lore on my belf.

Yeah that's a limitation for people who don't play both factions, I've had a double blast playing on both sides this time as things were quite different instead of repeating the same thing over on the other faction!

got mine!  just wished it was also a water mount, that would be cool! And blizz should have thrown in the parrot as well!

Some player ingame was mentioning that this thing can ride on water (like with waterwalking from shamans or DKs).

I wasn't able to find any confirmation on this, anywhere. Can someone test this and clarify?

? thanks a lot

Just checked and Dreadwake does not have waterwalking. Pop a Draenic Water Walking Elixir if you want to mess with people.

      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.
