Diablo 4 Launch Event in World of Warcraft: XP Buff, Battle Pet, Treasure Goblins and More

Recommended Posts

Clipboard02.jpg
 

The latest Dragonflight 10.1 PTR build brought some very interesting datamining with it, as it seems we'll be getting a Diablo 4 launch event in WoW, "Welcome to Sanctuary"! As spotted by MMO-Champion, there are several things coming with the event, from a battle pet to an XP and reputation buff, and even treasure goblins!

That's right, the very non-Azerothian goblins will be returning, after their initial appearance during Diablo's 20th anniversary event, and it's looking like some of them might be dropping the Baa'lial Soulstone Baa'lial Soulstone, which teaches you the Baa'lial battle pet! There will also be a feat of strength related to getting the pet, Little Lord of Lies Little Lord of Lies.

The event itself, Welcome to Sanctuary, has a tooltip reading:
"
Strange winds blow in from another world. Sightings of odd, bag-holding creatures spot the land, and heroes are filled with renewed vigor. Treasure Goblins can be spotted from TBD to TBD. The Winds of Sanctuary blow in from TBD to TBD."

The Winds of Sanctuary Winds of Sanctuary is the new 50% XP buff that's arriving with the event, which also grants an 8% reputation bonus (except with the new 10.1 Loamm Niffen faction).

There also might be some other loot to find, with new items added to the recent 10.1 PTR build like Wirt's Leg Wirt's Leg, Treasure Nabbin' Bag Treasure Nabbin' Bag and Horadric Haversack Horadric Haversack.


This sounds like a great event, and knowing WoW players the XP buff will be very welcome as they always are. The timing on it is unclear, however we do know patch 10.1 releases on May 2nd and Diablo 4 releases on June 6th (with a 3 day Early Access period for pre-orders). The event will either launch as Diablo itself does or, more likely, a week or two before that.

Played the beta for DIV, had the distinct feeling of Immoral *cough* sorry, Immortal gameplay. Couldn't shake the P2W feeling too. They kinda made a mistake making those two indistinguishable. The story itself was also... uninspired.

Yeah, it is a pity, when they announced it, i thought it would be a more graphical D3....but sadly, its just a reskinned D:Immortal.

I actually liked D3, but I’am very glad they didn’t do the same art style and graphics as D3. I don’t think D3 felt really Diablo like, D4 has a dark and morbid art style that fits the Diablo universe way better imo. The graphics are a lot better than D3 also, don’t get me wrong I played D3 a lot but I think D4 looks way better. I happen to think they did a really good job with it, I been playing Diablo since D1 but went hard when D2 came out using dial up internet lol!

I’am think D4 looks and feels amazing, but the prices on the cosmetics in the store are sickening! I mean 25$ bucks for one outfit, it wouldn’t look so bad if the base game wasn’t 70$ I mean I can buy a outfit on Path Of Exile for like 30$ to 40$ but that’s a F2P game. Charging 25$ for an outfit on D4 when the base game cost so much plus has a battle pass is kinda predatory. I could see spending 15$ for a outfit, even though I don’t agree with cash shops it don’t feel as bad but the 25$ is outright wrong!

      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.
