When Will We Hear More About Patch 9.1?

Recommended Posts

54261-the-jailer-might-not-be-the-final-

Shadowlands launched 47 days ago, and the attention turns to the first content patch of the expansion that comes with flying! When will Patch 9.1 hit test servers?

Blizzard is probably saving the Patch 9.1 announcement for BlizzConline on February 19-20, which is still more than a month away. If that's the case, 9.1 will be released rather late.

Battle for Azeroth went live on August 14, 2018. Tides of Vengeance, the first content patch (8.1) of the expansion, hit Public Test Servers on September 21, 2018, which is just 38 days after the expansion was released.

We do not currently know much about the patch. The only thing we know right now is that Blizzard intends to add flying in the first major content patch of the expansion, instead of .2 patches, as they did before.

What do you think we'll see in Patch 9.1? Do you think it will be unveiled at BlizzConline?

i hope they will wait with releasing 9.1. it feels like every day a new bug appears in shadowlands or old content which doesnt scale properly or has other problems caused by the squish. they should take their time and fix those things before thinking of releasing 9.1. and then they should take their time to test 9.1

for what it is worth, I agree 110% with ya.  Of course, my agreement with you and $50 will get you a cup of coffee, pretty much any place in the world.  I don't even have SL, but the amount of old world that I am seeing that has become buggy is horrible.  And things have changed, but no notice of the quests changing has been posted.

 

One item I would like to see address is remove some of the spell buttons!  I have more spell buttons for a BM hunter than I have places on my action bars.

Shoot, the last 2 wings of LFR aren't even open yet! Too early to start talking about expansions. Let the casuals catch up with the game first.

Likely they are holding any info for their event in February. Anyway they still have a lot of bugs to fix, so hopefully any new content will not be rushed.

What ARE the requirements for flying(if any)?

At least with flying tied to pathfinder achievements I had a goal to work towards.

No idea on the exact requirement but it will be tied to your Renown not reputation as in other expansions.

My guess would be mid to end of march 2021 at best. With BlizzConline and the final LFR Chapter being somewhere in feburary I cannot see them releasing new content that early. A lot of people are still working on AOTC and Cutting Edge as well.

LFR isn't completly released yet and there still alot of guilds for the hall of fame which has to be full in order to open mythic for crossrealm raiding

so i guess it'll take awhile and if we take into account that there are still bugs especially with torghast i think its a good thing if they slow down the pace and take their time to get things right

so far SL is alot better state then BFA was and i don't want them to rush things tbh.
i share the guess that they will announce the patch and what's to come in feb at the online blizzcon and so far its not that there is nothing to do for ppl at least atm.

It's about the PTR and announcement of what to come, not the actual content. Once it gets announced it'll take a couple of months before the content is actually released. Mid to end March would be waaaaaaay too late for the announcement, they definitely didn't wait that long with the last expansions.

I feel that a culture ( or Cultures as the case may be) would have eliminated the labyrinthian layouts of their zones ages ago. Blizz goes deliberately out of their way to make us relive Theseus with every expansion. They say they want up to explore. Fine. I love to explore. I disagree with having to run around 5 mountains to get onto the other side of the first one. This is not exploration, that is cultural infrastructural stagnation. If you want to decrease reliance on flight, allow us to chart our own flight points so we don't have to go through 2-5 unnecessary flight points to again, get to the other side of the mountain.

And for those who are certainly eager to start flaming about flight ruining the game. You play your way, I play mine. I like flight. I am tired of zones being obstructionist for it's own sake rather then just allowing flight.  That was the ONLY good thing about Cataclysm. Those who disagree, I welcome you to walk wherever you want.

Dude, relax or you will give yourself a stroke.... I agree pretty much with what you are saying except, what do you mean by "cultural infrastructural"?  Garden Gnomes would like to know!  😁

They just added a bunch of abilities back for every class in this expansion after having trimmed back the spell book for the past two expansions. Do a search on "the unpruning".

      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.
