Blizzard posted the full preview for the upcoming patch, including a brand new cinematic featuring Alexstrasza and Nozdormu! We also get a look at all patch features, including the new Evoker spec, megadungeon, Time Rifts, and more! 

Blizzard LogoFractures in Time (Source)

Venture into time itself to push back the encroaching chaos from other timelines and ensure the preservation of the future in the Fractures in Time content update. You’ll also be able to tend whelps in the Ruby Lifeshrine, embrace the way of the Warlock as the class expands to all races, specialize as the new dracthyr Augmentation Evoker, and more.

Specialize with the new Augmentation Evoker

Imbue your allies with the power of the Black dragonflight and twist fate in their favor with Bronze magic as the new Augmentation Specialization. Emberthal and Ebyssian are working together to release the Black dragonflight essence that had been siphoned from the Dracthyr during their long stasis, unlocking memories and powers forgotten to them. Learn more about this new specialization in our article.


Preserve the Timeline: Dawn of the Infinite Mega-Dungeon

Rally your party and venture into a new eight-boss Mythic difficulty mega-dungeon: Dawn of the Infinite! At stake is the future of Azeroth, and only you can ensure the timeline remains preserved—hopefully with a minimal number of paradoxes. This Mythic-only instance can reward you with loot coveted by time benders everywhere, including a perennial assortment of powerful gear, Dragonriding customizations, and many other surprises. Learn more from our article.


Unravel the Time Streams

The time streams have become increasingly more unstable with recent events. As the boundaries between the timelines weaken, minions from other timelines begin pouring through into the Dragon Isles. Push back against the encroaching chaos from other timelines in the new Time Rifts Events, then head over to Eon’s Fringe for new quests.  Learn more from our overview article.


Level-Up Your Warlock and Pets

In the Fractures in Time content update, the Warlock Class expands to new races. You’ll also be able to undertake a new Warlock-specific questline and use the Barbershop to customize your pets. Learn more in our article.


Help Wanted: Inquire at the Whelp Daycare

The Ruby Lifeshrine has more eggs than it can manage and needs a little help hatching and teaching five of their dragon whelps, so they’ve called in the crew at the Little Scales Daycare to assist. The crew has become overwhelmed and needs you to help wrangle some whelps. Learn more about this near feature in our article.


Get Ready to Ride in the Kalimdor Cup

Rediscover Kalimdor's skies with a new dragonriding racing event arriving to Azeroth and running from August 15–28. Challenge 16 races across Kalimdor in Normal, Advanced, and Reverse variations to earn Riders of Azeroth Badges to exchange for rewards from Maztha.


We’ll see you in Azeroth!

Warlock expands to all races?    Isn't it going to get super awkward for the Draneii if someone ends up summoning a former friend or family as a succubus?

What? They don't become succubus. These are different species, succubi and incubi come from Sayaad species. Based on what was seen on PTR, quests explain reasons for all these races.

That feels like a bit of a ret-con.    The female succubus and a female draneii are almost a palette swap...goat legs, tail, waggle, etc.

Why lore breaking, Eredars? Sargerei? 

Anyway anyone can wield such power IF they can control it. Think about demon hunters who go through lot of pain etc. (btw i miss eredar skins on my draenei 😕

Sucubi has nothing to do with Draenei. They are just another demon species. 

And I always viewed Warlocks as some kind of fallen mages or ones that strived more destructive power. Warlocks are well... kind of evilish beings and everyone can be a bit evil. Even Draenei. Why not? They can be rogues now after all... Assasins, thieves... why not evil mages 😈
oh, and you can kinda roleplay as an Eredar now. After Legions defeat why not just join the good guys (us) to keep spreading destruction 
I will finally be able to play my favourite class as my favourite race (Pandaren) so I really can't complain :^)

nice to see they dont care about lore anymore letting all classes be warlocks it felt kinda weird when they let pandas be deathknights too

The expanded deathknights are not the ones rised by Lich King Arthas but by Bolvar to bolster his army. Rised fallen soldiers of the 4th War. This makes perfect sense.

It's not, demons were already established as coming from different species in Burning Crusade, some probably even before that. Most corrupted Eredar were warlocks, who also became demons themselves, so they were the ones summoning these other demons. Several of them have been mentioned in game, but there was never any mention of Eredar transforming into Succubi. They come from the worlds that Burning Legion conquered or destroyed. Examples:

-Sayaad are Succubi.

-Annihilan are Pit Lords.

-Shivarra are these 6-armed demonic priests.

-Mo'arg are Felguard.

I didn't know about this one, lmao

 

Funny after all these years the Tauren just give up their ethics, and the Draneii - isn't that super douchey of them to even consider it?

 

Oh well 🤷‍♂️

      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.

    • By Starym
      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.
