Battle for Azeroth Will Be Added to the Base Game on October 13th

Recommended Posts

Battle for Azeroth is currently not included in the Shadowlands pre-purchase, but this will change soon and you won't have to purchase the expansion separately.

Pre-purchasing Shadowlands does not currently include the latest expansion WoW expansion, Battle for Azeroth. On the contrary, Battle for Azeroth is required to pre-purchase Shadowlands.

Common Problems

  • Do I need BFA to play Shadowlands?
  • If I buy Shadowlands, does it come with BFA?
  • What's included with my purchase of Shadowlands?
  • Does heroic includes access to all allies and flying achievement

Battle for Azeroth is not included with the Shadowlands pre-purchase.

To purchase the Shadowlands pre-purchase you need to already have Battle for Azeroth purchased, or purchase a Complete Collection for the World of Warcraft account.

Everything will change with the release of the Shadowlands pre-patch on October 13, 2020, and the Battle for Azeroth expansion will be added to the base game, meaning you won't need to purchase it separately, and an active subscription will be enough to play all content up to BfA.

When the Shadowlands pre-patch goes live, you will be able to buy Shadowlands separately.

With the release of the BfA pre-patch, Blizzard made the Legion expansion part of the base game, which is why we think the same is going to happen with BfA when the Shadowlands pre-patch drops.

Can you link the official post on this?

No official post (yet) but this has been the pattern for many expansions prior: as soon as their pre-patch hits you only need to buy the new expansion and the baseline game is rolled into it / monthly sub.

Click "Source" up there.

I did and nothing in it says BfA will be free on the 13th, go away troll.

 

Oh and it actually displays the source too so I don't need to click on it.

No trolling here, you asked the official source, so I have directed you to the "official part" of this whole post.
I suggest you to read the whole post and please remain civil and not toxic in our forums. Thanks!

Of course you are trolling, it may be true but the "source" has absolutely no information in it that you claim it has.

 

Now the second link has the proof.

You either do not know what trolling is or maybe you are actually trying to troll this thread yourself, because even with solid proof proving our first claim you are still needlessly accusing me of trolling.

First of all, I am a proud member of Icy Veins team, why would I try to troll anyone here? I am just trying to help informing our readers and followers.

So to clear the waters one last time, let me clarify this again: 
When this first post has been posted, there was not an official confirmation and we never said there was, yet we backed our educated guess on official posts and previous happenings, that's the "source" of this first post, hence I suggested you to check that.

Now, it has happened and as we have guessed; proved us right. Even you had to accept this, despite all of the questionable skepticism.

So, in the end, we may say it is a "Happy Ending" to this and I would say we did our duty of informing people about what may (or will) happen, special thanks to our original poster and news writer Stan here.

You are all welcome, enjoy the Pre-patch and have fun! ?

Of course I know what trolling is and at the time the proof given was non existent.

At the time you were guessing.

No confirmation at the time yet LOOK AT THE TITLE OF THE POST!

Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it?

Again, the Post says it will happen BEFORE Blizzard announced it.

 

I stand by my comments. No one knew it was going to happen and the post gave the impression they knew.

 

Hence Trolling.

I hope they will do same for DragonFlight pre-patch as well. Include the Shadowlands in it. Waiting for this to be included in Dragonflight base editon.

Please Blizzard please!

      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.
