Updates to Tirisfal Glades and Undercity in Patch 9.2.5

Recommended Posts

In our latest post, we preview the changes to Undercity and Tirisfal Glades in Patch 9.2.5. This post contains story spoilers.

Highlights

  • The entrance to Undercity is closed off you can't enter it from the Throne Room as there is no elevator.
  • The green goo is gone and you no longer take damage when you enter the area. In the "Return to Lordaeron" questline, you help Calia clear blight from the zone. The whole zone was blighted since Battle for Azeroth and the intro scenario.
  • Dark Rangers on the rooftops are defending the city.

Derek Proudmoore, Calia Menethil, Lilian Voss, and Dark Ranger Veolnara are chilling outside of a random wall outside of the Ruins of Lordaeron. They have formed the Desolate Council and will lead the Forsaken going forward.

Some vendors from the Undercity can now be found outside of the Ruins of Lordaeron. It almost appears as if they were trying to rebuild the city. There's a guild vendor, stable master, refugees hanging around campfires, and more.

The Undead and the Horde have taken back Brill in Patch 9.2.5. We have a new building being built by Forsaken Laborers.

There is a new flight path in Brill. A lot of NPCs that were there during Cataclysm have returned. Brill has some assets from the Darkshore Warfront, like this tent.

It seems like Undercity is truly done for, which is somewhat sad to hear. It would be neat to build upon the old city on the surface, though. I just hope these "looks like they're rebuilding" assets and animations don't stay at this stage for 2-3 expansions.

hopefully we get back the UNDERcity and not just some generic city.

i dont know how to feel about that the coucel that leads the forsaken is 2/3 brand new undeads with more ties to the alience then the horde but that maybe could be a sign for eliminating the borders all together. should we go into a reall war again i wont trust what these two say

It is still blighted underground, we only helped them to cleanse the surface. Same reason we won't see a new nigh elf capital on another tree. I think Lordaeron Keep will end up like Gnomeregan, part of it is cleansed and the rest will remain as it is. You could say this capital city got gnomed!

Nah, the questline implies they'll go on with purifying the catacombs, but it'd take some time, so they remain of the surface for the moment.

Some time until the prepatch, I imagine.

Good one-liner! Man, I'm choked. I just want to head to the war quarter but get lost and wind up in the mage quarter instead. I guess they could make Brill the new capitol, or the surface castle. Just something worthy.

That's encouraging I suppose. I hope they build on that at some point.

This whole thing is a mess and Calia is at the center of it.

"Hey random person who hasn't had anything to do with the Forsaken AT ALL and just popped up out of nowhere.... why don't you come lead with us? Want to?"

Like seriously? Seriously?

How cooked is this stuff.

What's the issue here? You want an eternal conflict between horde and alliance? We are way past that, it's for the classic era, which you can still play. Now that we have cross faction playing, there is no reason there can't be cross faction leaders etc. Eventually there is no reason to have factions. Just unite them all.

I'mma have to throw rotten tomatoes at you homie.

Too many PVE kings that forget what WoW is made of. Too many blue names and happy happy peachy rosie bleh...

This is a war. We are at war and we will continue to be at war.

(plus there's like 100 MMOs without factions if that's what you want 😄 )

Then by this "logic" Forsaken and Blood Elves should have never joined the Horde, because they were both formerly Alliance and their old enemies from Second War. Old enemies can join forces too, especially when there are always bigger enemies to fight.

From gameplay perspective, factions were pretty much dead when only one was fully playable. This is why crossfaction was the only solution and they should expand this feature into guilds and so on. Also, WoW has always been primarily PvE game, PvP was just some additional content, it never received the same level of attention as PvE. Btw, we had merc mode for years now, because Horde was suffering from longer bg queues due to more players moving there. Sorry to break it to you, but you've probably killed a lot of Horde there thinking they were Alliance.

Again, for lore reasons. We are past war at this point in the story. We had our 4th war... and both factions are pretty much tired of this endless conflict. 

 

It's like saying we should keep having World War's because nations should never have diplomatic ties. Logic doesn't add up. 

 

Also PvP is still a thing sooooooo....

Factions still exist. Just not the need for war.

 

Also there's PvP still. Please learn a new argument.

A city will be built on the surface and Worgens will get back their city as well. NE might take refuge on Gilneas as well. That seed from winter queen will be placed in dragon isles. That's why Ysera said she knows a place which is lost

oh no thats not what i mean. i hope they allow even more cross faction stuff so i can play the whole xpac with my horde guilde while leveling my gnome and not only play the endgame content together.

what i meant was that the councel has so many member that are just "recently" awoken as undead but to be honest after talking about that with my wife we coulndt think of any famouse undeads other then lillian. and my other point was if blizz changes course again and we have war in 3 xpacs again i woulndt trust these two to much to fight dor the horde but in the end the forsaken always worked more for there own intrest then for the horde

Times change, and you need to learn how to change with them. I've played since BC (partly end of vanilla), with breaks here and there ofc, and I really can't see why you want literally the same game, over 15 years. Without change. 

Why not play Vanilla then?

Acting like having factions is "the same game over 15 years" is a little nonsensical.

We've had mages for 15 years. Should we get rid of them too?

You make very poor arguments, incredible really. 

Would you say, that mages are they same they were, as in vanilla? 🙂

Nor are factions.

Why do you have to try and be insulting though? Just be nice.

      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.
