Awesome Hallowfall Crystal Void Switch Animation

Recommended Posts

Clipboard01.jpg
 

We've all seen the giant Hallowfall crystal and just how great it looks, but as it turns out, the light emanating from it actually changes in a sort of strange day/night cycle, and we get a really awesome transition into Void light animation! 

First off we can see a snippet of the change in Blizzard's official short preview of the zone:

And then there's this extended look at the switch, showcasing just how impressive the animations are, by PreachGaming's Chunkeyninja:

And here's a slightly better look at the Void to Light transition, courtesy of Kexman:

The exact timing on the cycle isn't 100% clear, but MrGM noted how it works on the Alpha right now, with a 3 hour cycle, as the Void part remains active for 30 minutes:


Hopefully we'll also get some lore to go with the transition, as the light into void thing is pretty thematically interesting, as well as being really visually impressive.

Who the hell is this guy and why you started to promo him so much?! It's so trash and low quality.. are you injecting unblockable, hardcoded ads into the site and constant subscription pop-ups, but recently can't write your own content..

We recently switched to a new advertising partner and are actively working on optimizing this new system. Please report any specific issues you encounter with ads directly to us, and we'll make sure they are addressed promptly and forwarded to our ad provider.

Are you referring to MrGM? We often link to other content creators who have made interesting discoveries, but we also have a wealth of our own content. We cover class changes, model previews, weekly to-do lists, mounts, live blog developer streams for D4, and much more. If you think there's room for improvement, please share any specific ideas or concerns you have. I'm eager to hear your thoughts and explore ways we can enhance our news coverage.

Thanks!

Looking forward to Hallowfall, seems to be the most interesting zone, especially with this zone "switch" mechanic. Will be interesting to see if the music changes as well.

Which "guy"? There's three content creators being linked to in the article. I personally really like linking to community members and sharing their discoveries whenever we can - instead of seeing them then getting our own screenshots etc and pretending we discovered/thought of it ourselves. We still do plenty of our own content, but if linking to content creators upsets you, that's mostly on me specifically since I think it's a great thing to do (but you're totally free to disagree, especially on individual content creators).

I assume you are referring to MrGM (He does show up here a ton yeah) - He is a former Private Server Content Creator who by that origin has me baffled at how he became so accepted by Blizzard and the community. Anyway, recently tho he has been doing very well in doing the ye-old Youtube trick of covering "New and hot content" (Related to WoW ofc) by posting low effort videos where he pads as much as he can to try and reach the 10 minute Youtube timer. (Only dodging it when he absolutely can't reach it without so much padding that the average viewer would be bothered by it). Despite how soulless his work is, he is quick and gets info out there in a way that allows you to just "Absorb the info while doing other stuff" as opposed to reading trough anything yourself, and since he covers any and everything related to WoW; You'll likely always find what you need in terms of new WoW info on his channel.

      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.
