Kul Tiran Humans & Zandalari Trolls Not Coming Today

Recommended Posts

39727-how-to-unlock-kul-tiran-humans-and

Blizzard today clarified in a series of blue posts that clearing the new raid won't be required to unlock Zandalari Trolls and the Allied Race isn't coming with the raid or Mythic Season 2, but later in Patch 8.1.5 as stated at BlizzCon.

If you've been patiently waiting for the new Allied Races to arrive with Mythic Season 2 and Battle of Dazar'alor, you'll have to wait a little longer. Both Allied Races will arrive in Patch 8.1.5 and Blizzard also specified unlock requirements for both. The good news is that clearing the new raid isn't required to start the quest to recruit them, but you'll still need to complete the entire War Campaign up to the last chapter, reach Exalted with two factions, and complete the story of Kul Tiras & Zandalar.

Unlock Requirements

Allied Race Unlock Requirements
Kul Tiran Humans Exalted with Proudmoore Admiralty + Tides of Vengeance + Zandalar Forever! Zandalar Forever!
Zandalari Trolls Exalted with The Zandalari Empire + Tides of Vengeance + A Nation United A Nation United

Are you disappointed that Kul Tiran Humans and Zandalari Trolls will not be available in Tides of Vengeance or do you not mind at all? Let us know in the comments!

I’m curious if I can unlock it today or if I have to wait for the new raid to go to raid finder, anyone know for sure?

At BlizzCon we talked about these Allied Races coming in Patch 8.1.5. It might feel like a new patch day with the season update and raid opening up today, but this is still the continuation of the Tides of Vengeance story. We will have more information on the Zandalari and Kul Tiran soon!

The wait sucks, but I’m at a point of apathy about it now. I wish more clear info would come out about to what extent raiding is related to unlocking the two races. Can the quest be done in LFR if a quest is needed?

There will be no raiding required. Some people may have seen the requirements on the PTR and we do plan to talk about them more to help spread the word.

As it currently stands, if you do the Zandalar quest arc (through the Blood Gate quest and Zul’s death), the War Campaign through the Tides of Vengeance achievement, and get Exalted with the Zandalari Empire, you will be able to do the questline to get access to the Zandalari Allied Race as soon as 8.1.5 goes live.

What are the requirements for Kul’tirans? I’m assuming something equivalant to the Zandalari but specifics matter.

Tides of Vengeance War Campaign achievement is the same. The story arc should be “A Nation United” achievement. Exalted with Proudmoore Admiralty.

I preordered day 1 so I could get the new druids at launch since that was what everyone assumed... we'll be six months in before we get the damn things.

I haven't played WoW in a bit, but back when I did, new races (and classes) were an expansion feature. Did Blizz ever explain what justified changing this on top of the gating?

Storywise it makes no sense,since Branduin welcomed Kul Tirans after the campaign and the whole Jaina incident,and as horde you're basicly thick as thieves with Talanji and the Loa.

I haven't been paying that much attention to their presentations or explanations but my input would be : - Play our game ! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ! - 

It does stand to reason that this way they can coax players into coming back with the release of Kul Tirans and Zandalari trolls,thus enhancing the numbers even with the repercussion of having unsatisfied players that expected this at launch.

Hopefully Ion gets asked this question and answers it straightforwardly in the next Q/A soon.

Questions don't get answered straightforwardly in this industry unfortunatelly. We know it is to keep players hooked for longer and thus pay more money, but he will say some "pride and accomplishment"-stuff instead.

For 10+ years of expansions we got 5 new races. In the last six months we got 6 new allied races and people are still complaining why the even newer ones aren't already available. In my opinion it's rather clear they don't want to upset the current raid tier and PvP season - both the Kul Tirans and Zandalaris have OP racial abilities that could imbalance the world first race and arena if not deployed with enough care.

On the other hand for many it may have caused the opposite effect - they wanted to play these races earlier, but after 6 months they are just bored and won't bother.

Im in your same opinion, at least as far as complaining about the arrival time (or lateness perhaps) of the new races.

Theyve said that since before expansion release, iirc.  It's old news.  People still want "good" explanations, which always ends up being "just give me the race."  Theyve explained why already.  And honestly even if they DIDNT outright explain it, We've already been either at direct conflict with, or at best a cold war/politically shunned with each faction.  

You dont go from zero to 60 quick in situations like that.  It makes sense that you have to prove yourself as not just a good ally, but a consistent one.  

Hell the Lightforged took downing a frickin TITAN to join the cause.

I'm not happy that they're not coming today, even though we all knew they wouldn't. I'm tired of waiting for Zandalari druids. The hype for them is just about dead at this point, and the PTR will still be at least 2 months from releasing, considering how it looks right now. If they wanna hype new cool forms of something, they shouldn't have done so to sell the game, and then not give it to us for over a half year. It's frustrating to say the least.

Hey Guys, If I am exalted with proudmoore on one character but finished A Nation United on another character that isn't exalted do I unlock Kul'Tiran or do they all need to be on the same character!!! Hoping not, that rep grind is a pain and the character I have exalted was faction changed so I never did the alliance story line.

Its already almost half a year after the expansion release, the races are still not unlocked. A very cheap way to tempt you to either use a level boost or pay for race change.

It shouldn't matter so long as you completed the achievements, you should be able to create a Kul Tiran when 8.1.5 goes live, oh, and let's not forget about the War Campaign requirement.

      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.
