try using repair tool,or re-installing

dull osprey Sep 7, 2020, 7:33 AM

#

@keen bloom do you have addons

limpid spade Sep 7, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

is there a chance for them to release the prepatch on the 16th without any notice?

mossy perch Sep 7, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

..no

#

we've still got 2 shorts to go through; at the earliest it'll be the 22nd

limpid spade Sep 7, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

hope so

#

cause I'm aiming to get 5 mask Org next week and 5 mask SW the week after

mossy perch Sep 7, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

they'll most likely give a weeks notice, i don't think it'll suddenly appear

limpid spade Sep 7, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

well if they announce tomorrow that one week later it's going away

#

it's still bad for the 5mask achi

#

then again it will be super weird to release the prepatch before the final short

tranquil steeple Sep 7, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

with giving a week's notice, after the last Afterlives short, ends up being 22nd, so it works out pretty well

dense plover Sep 7, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

Yeah, we won’t get a release without at least 1 week notice

limpid spade Sep 8, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

any word on tuning on prepatch when it goes live?

#

some endgame mobs are kinda overtuned compared to live

night swift Sep 8, 2020, 3:04 AM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

opal crag Sep 8, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

Any word on mounts for pre patch or any stuff which are exclusive to pre patch ??

upper lantern Sep 8, 2020, 10:04 AM

#

I think some of the unused Warfront gear is available as prepatch event gear

opal crag Sep 8, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

Is it tier 3 unused gear? cuz that will be cool..

pulsar minnow Sep 8, 2020, 11:39 AM

#

Nah, just tier 1 unused

#

It still looks good imo. The shoulders on the tier 1 in that color could work for a ton of different transmogs

limpid spade Sep 8, 2020, 11:52 AM

#

is Lucid Nightmare flying...intentional?

pulsar minnow Sep 8, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

Yes

https://www.wowhead.com/news=314431/flying-unicorns-horse-ground-mounts-learn-to-fly-in-shadowlands

In the most recent Shadowlands build, all Courser, Nightmare, and Dreamrunner type horse mounts have been changed from ground mounts to flying ones! Most of these horned "unicorn" style mounts are older mounts, obtained from Legion and Battle for Azeroth content, though they include a couple placeholder mounts datamined from Shadowlands; either way it's a welcome change for anyone wishing to take their favorite horse mount to the skies.

tropic trail Sep 8, 2020, 12:16 PM

#

something about the release of Pre-Patch on live there is a buff that is until the end of the month so that might affect the prepatch release maybe until the 29th and not 22nd?

mossy perch Sep 8, 2020, 12:19 PM

#

we'll most likely get an announcement on the 22nd yeah

#

since it's a week after the last animated short

sonic snow Sep 8, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

Any idea what the 4 hour maintenance is today?

pulsar minnow Sep 8, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

Just maintenance

#

Maybe realm connections too or something

sonic snow Sep 8, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

Nothing exciting?

pulsar minnow Sep 8, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

No. We’re not getting pre-patch this week lol

mossy perch Sep 8, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

probably back-end stuff to prepare for expac / pre-patch

#

and there's a bunch of realm connections going on as said

sonic snow Sep 8, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

Non realm connections might have slower maintenance?

mossy perch Sep 8, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

no?

#

its going down for 4 hours

sonic snow Sep 8, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

Guess I'll go do things then. Kicks a pebble.

ebon vortex Sep 8, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

Is the PTR still on the same build it was when prepatch was first added?

valid knot Sep 8, 2020, 3:16 PM

#

So on the ptr I keep encountering a gold transfer limit when trying to change a characters faction.

ancient jasper Sep 8, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

It'll hopefully be fixed the time Shadowlands launches.

cunning fossil Sep 9, 2020, 2:56 AM

Kiiiinda not the place to advertise that kind astuff

Banned or something

#

So maybe remove that message and maybe ask in a more appropriate chat

#

like #no-wow-discussion

frozen stratus Sep 9, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

advertising in general isnt reallyt allowed unless you ask the mods for permission

cunning fossil Sep 9, 2020, 2:59 AM

well at least you can ask

Rather than get a warning

Anyone know when new login screen and music gonna come out?

cunning fossil Sep 9, 2020, 4:52 PM

Probably this patch actually

#

Well

#

This PTR/Beta patch

forest sphinx Sep 9, 2020, 8:23 PM

Does anyone have a site or list of addons that are working with the PTR?

faint crystal Sep 9, 2020, 10:03 PM

New PTR build today?

hope they haven't nerfed the legion quartermaster weapons

#

then again i hope they're fixed too, can literally buy an iLvl 47 wep after getting an artifact

#

use from 10-50 levelling, can solo ragefire chasm on my mage

viral sun Sep 10, 2020, 1:46 AM

Maybe they'll add boots to the Exile's Reach sets. /s

mossy mesa Sep 10, 2020, 2:41 AM

whats the update?

viral sun Sep 10, 2020, 2:44 AM

Can't find any notes anywhere yet

cunning fossil Sep 10, 2020, 2:48 AM

PTR getting updated 🙂

viral sun Sep 10, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

Anyone have notes yet?

cunning fossil Sep 10, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

None for me

#

Also Servers are offline

tropic trail Sep 10, 2020, 2:59 AM

#

release please!

cunning fossil Sep 10, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

lol

#

PTR still offline

ancient jasper Sep 10, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

PTR seems to be up now

cunning fossil Sep 10, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

ooooh

#

Well I can't get into the servers is what I meant

#

Can you?

ancient jasper Sep 10, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

Let me try and log on to a character

cunning fossil Sep 10, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

will do the same

#

PTR is up now 🙂

#

thx

ancient jasper Sep 10, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

😄

forest sphinx Sep 10, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

So what's on the PTR?

cunning fossil Sep 10, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

Not much from what I saw. Unholy DK changes anmd BM hunter got it so that Beastial Wrath has an instant damage effect now

ancient jasper Sep 10, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

Looks like the Zombie stuff is now completely disabled on the PTR

#

No Argent Crusaders or anything

cunning fossil Sep 10, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

sad

#

then what are we testing now?

#

just the minibosses and stuff?

ancient jasper Sep 10, 2020, 4:06 AM

#

I don't know if that is even up actually

#

Probably Class Changes, Character Customization and leveling at this point

cunning fossil Sep 10, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

leveling huh?

ancient jasper Sep 10, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

Most Transformation Toys are still broken so that is slightly worrisome

limpid spade Sep 10, 2020, 12:18 PM

#

please tell me prepatch won't be next week (16th)

#

just did 5 mask Org

#

need to do 5 mask SW next week 😮

upper lantern Sep 10, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

nah it most likely isn't next week. We'd have had an announcement date if that were the case

thick saddle Sep 10, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

If they follow the same pattern with the "2 week prior notice" for PVP Seasons (and we haven't heard anything yet), than the earliest for prepatch will be the 22nd/23rd

worthy tartan Sep 10, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

what does having 2 prepatches mean for us?

strange falcon Sep 10, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

nothing really

#

the ptr is on the 9.0.1

#

so the changes dont break the game

#

on the 9.0.2 side

worthy tartan Sep 10, 2020, 6:47 PM

#

so is current ptr gonna be prepatch 1

#

and then whatever happens after is prepatch 2

thick saddle Sep 10, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

9.0.2 will probably be released on Release Day, and probably not a huge update.

frozen stratus Sep 10, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

Itll be bug

#

Big

#

Itll be oct 25th im pretty sure

#

I think the plan is to iterate a bunch on the beta branch after prepatch

#

To try and "fix" certain issues

worthy tartan Sep 10, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

i want to be excited but i dont want to get my hopes up aha

pastel bloom Sep 10, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

I thought prior expac prepatches were dropped like 2 weeks prior to the xpac to give people a sense of the class changes and such

#

I'd be surprised if they dropped pre so close to launch

crisp steeple Sep 10, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

pre patches drop a month before expansion rleases

pastel bloom Sep 10, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

Ohhhhhhh so people saying 22nd meaning like Sept 22nd not Oct

#

I completely misread that god damn

foggy abyss Sep 10, 2020, 11:17 PM

#

My bet is either for the last Afterlives or a week after

tropic trail Sep 11, 2020, 8:21 AM

#

the sooner it comes the sooner i sub

soft flower Sep 11, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

Is controller support added in ptr?

digital badge Sep 11, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

29th then?

tiny stream Sep 11, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

The pre-patch normally puts in the entire expansion/zone but leaves out a way to access it until launch, so that they don't have to make you download a massive patch at launch. However, this time around patch 9.0.1 will be all the pre-patch stuff and then we will have a later patch which will add all the shadowlands stuff that will happen before launch

@tiny stream when will be released? im tired of corruptions

tiny stream Sep 11, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

Unknown. Probably in two or three weeks

#

The consensus guess is that it will be the week after the shadowlands shorts finish

#

The best part is that on your main character you can work with the zombie invasion/ice crown storyline while you can play through the new leveling experience.

#

My plan is to create my 3 alts. I'm thinking a Shaman, a Druid, and a Priest?

digital badge Sep 11, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

but blizzard didnt announced still the end of season

tiny stream Sep 11, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

Will the pre-patch end the season? or just remove all the corruptions

#

We normally have 1-2 updates per season right?

#

So this could be update 2

stiff vector Sep 11, 2020, 3:37 PM

#

9.0.1 will have most of the Shadowlands content too fwiw, just locked and unfinished

#

They're not going to bother separating the two by painstakingly removing shadowlands specific files

#

9.0.2 will likely bring a lot of fixes for said content though that will still be WIP when 9.0.1 hits, which is the point of separating them

digital badge Sep 11, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

9.0.1 will have most of the Shadowlands content too fwiw, just locked and unfinished
@stiff vector but when will be released 9.0.1?

stiff vector Sep 11, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

on a tuesday late this month

#

22 or 29 idk

#

6th of october would be too late for the event to start i think

mossy perch Sep 11, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

Looking later month or early oct now

stiff vector Sep 11, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

though i guess thats the last date it can start on

#

its like a 3-4 week event i think

#

october 6 is the last date

#

but event has to start the same day

tropic trail Sep 11, 2020, 10:38 PM

Gotta love all the NSFW conversation in PTR trade chat

what is the pre-patch event gonna be exactly? Naxx 1.0 zombie invasion round 2?

rapid badge Sep 12, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

wasn't there a scourge invasion in vanilla?

#

or was the zombie attack just from wrath?

pastel bloom Sep 12, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

vanilla had a zombie invasion event

formal dawn Sep 12, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

is there a vendor for Exile's Reach armour on PTR ? and if so, does anyone know where it is

wild sluice Sep 12, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

No. You have to do quests.

#

I apparently missed one because I have no boots.

tiny stream Sep 12, 2020, 7:34 PM

you should have 60%, 100% at 20, yeah that's not right.

heroics n raids are playable are they in ptr right?

wind viper Sep 13, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

is there any way i can get a max char on the ptr w/o leveling ?

ancient jasper Sep 13, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

You should be able to use the Character Copy if you have one on Retail

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

@robust hollow SL AP?

#

what?

#

shadowlands doesnt have artifact power

sullen dawn Sep 13, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

He probably means reknown but its nothing like AP

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

its a flat 2 per week

#

sometimes 3 from the campaign

misty blaze Sep 13, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

i hope pre patch is soon

robust hollow Sep 13, 2020, 8:02 PM

#

@robust hollow SL AP?
@dense plover I meant attack power

robust hollow Sep 13, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

an example is Shattering Throw - Hurl your weapon at the enemy, causing [(Attack power * 1.0) * (1 + Versatility)] Physical damage, ignoring armor, and removing any magical immunities. Deals up to 500% increased damage to absorb shields.

#

Trying to find out how that AP is calculated

#

The sources I am coming across say it should be (Strength x 2) + (Char.Level x 3) - 20....but based on PTR...this doesn't seem to be correct

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

well, they made it so abilities actually do +-5% damage now

#

so you need to do a bunch of attacks and take the average

#

installing dejacharstats might help

#

i believe it lets you make attack power a visible stat

#

https://wow.gamepedia.com/Attack_power#Sources

Wowpedia

Attack power

Attack power (AP) is a physical damage attribute derived from strength and/or agility and character level, that serves to increase your base weapon damage by an amount relative to this statistic. There are two forms of attack power: Melee attack power, and Ranged attack power....

#

this might help as well

#

its dependent on the class

robust hollow Sep 13, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

thank you so much

#

been looking everywhere for this...

Wowhead

Speed Leveling Shadowlands Beta in Under Three Hours Through Dungeo...

Streamer MrGM has discovered that dungeon boosting works on the Shadowlands beta, allowing players to level from 10-50 in under three hours.

#

is this still working?

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

probably not

#

they explicitly have gone on record saying that speed leveling like that shouldnt be possible by launch

sonic flame Sep 13, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

where did they say that? o.o

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

fairly certain you cant group with people who are in a different toggle for chromie time

#

IE - you cant party with someone out of chromie time if you are in it or vice versa

#

they made string changes that put you in different phases a week or two ago

sonic flame Sep 13, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

so chromie time IS a different phase now

#

?

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

yes

#

or it SHOULD be

#

im not sure if its actually in yet

sonic flame Sep 13, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

i won then, i won the world

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

but considering they added strings, they probably plan to have it

sonic flame Sep 13, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

whatever it is the scummy scammy thing I wanted to do, I can do it now

#

I won at the game

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

uh

#

probably not

sonic flame Sep 13, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

They had to do ANYTHING but placing you in different phases

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

the strings dont let you group if you are and someone isnt in chromie time or vice versa

#

im not sure its phased

#

i just know they dont let you group up

#

and if you are currently in a group and try to switch to chromie time im pretty sure it doesnt let you

sonic flame Sep 13, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

interesting

#

well i hope it's a different phase too then

perfect

#

it's effectively a new phase

#

super happy with the change

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

dont think its a phase

#

think its like warmode

#

same phase, different shard

sonic flame Sep 13, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

warmode IS a different phase

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

no, its a shard

sonic flame Sep 13, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

in a sense where phase is when you meet other people

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

its why when you toggle they shift instantly

sonic flame Sep 13, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

i see

#

well still the same thing for me i guess

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

shard =/= phase

sonic flame Sep 13, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

just changes the word

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

also, anything exploiting that kind of stuff will almost definitely get you banned

#

thats the stuff they ban on expac start

frozen stratus Sep 13, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

whats bannable?

#

exploiting shards?

dense plover Sep 13, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

exploiting phasing to somehow boost characters from 1-50

#

thats the kind of shit they ban people for

frozen stratus Sep 13, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

oh for like quests?

sonic flame Sep 13, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

Blizz said 4-6 weeks before the expansion. The two-week notice might not even happen given a lot of the weird stuff this xpac, like not getting a release date until two months before.

Was not enough for higher m+ content last 2 expansions (especially early season) since aoe cleave is based on 1 trick pony burst and then falls down and down as the pack fight continues , next trash pull pack repeat

Hello, i have an odd question to ask to people who have a knowledge of the leveling in the beta/ptr.

Knowing that:

Level 1 Live = Level 1 Beta/PTR
Level 120 Live = Level 50 Beta/PTR

What level on live is require to have to be level 30 on the beta/ptr ?

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

2.4 levels on live is 1 level on ptr roughly

#

with it being round up

#

the level required would be around uh level 62ish

#

sorry

#

much higher actually it would be somewhere in the 70s

#

72

tropic trail Sep 16, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

30x2.4=72

#

hmmm

#

does that apply to DH and DK as well?

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 1:42 AM

#

what do you mean

#

it applies to everyone

tropic trail Sep 16, 2020, 1:47 AM

#

what i mean is

#

since DH start at 98

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 1:47 AM

#

you'll start at a lower level as a DH

#

specifically level 8

#

same for DK

tropic trail Sep 16, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

but if you make one now, something in the 40's?

#

if a DH on live create a DH, then it start at 98, but when ptr/beta will hit live, will it turn into a level 1 or it will change to a lvl 40 ?

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

yes

tropic trail Sep 16, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

It should be 40 yes

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 1:48 AM

#

yes

#

its just a background conversion

#

every character ever will get scaled

flat solar Sep 16, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

so right now on ptr other than level squish and character creation stuff is there any "actual content" up? I see that the skybox over icc is the new one but it seems to be about it

#

the thing is they didn't even announced the end of pvp season, which should end 2 weeks prior to ... things

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

yes

#

they might do a shorter notice period

tropic trail Sep 16, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

It's possible with how weird the Shadowlands release date stuff has been.

#

it had to say it now, or if they do it next weekm then prepatch event will last 3 weeks total

#

Possibly some procedural changes.

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

they could announce prepatch on thursday

#

with the last afterlives

#

itd be a 12 day notice instead

#

but it would make sense

tropic trail Sep 16, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

could work

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

no way itll be next week though

tropic trail Sep 16, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

BfA's release date was given 4 months before launch whereas Shadowlands was just 2.

#

so

#

to level now from 1 to 72 is slower now instead of leveling 1 to 30 in shadowlands?

#

or it's just the same experience overall, jsut shorter levels number

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

why do you wanna be 30 specifically just curious?

tropic trail Sep 16, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

I believe that's the case.

#

Leveling now is fast but it is very fast in Shadowlands.

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

it feels pretty similar speed wise

#

but its definitely faster

tropic trail Sep 16, 2020, 2:07 AM

Has anyone here given the new leveling system any extensive testing? I’m wondering if it turned out how they said they wanted it to at BlizzCon, where you should be hitting 50 by the time you finish the story quests of a given expansion.

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

Yes a lot of people have tested it

#

Some expansions are different so some arent successful, yet. Mainly due to quest count.

#

I know for legion and bfa they succeeded pretty well

azure estuary Sep 16, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

Ok. Have you heard anything about BC and Wrath?

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

Uh i havent seen numbers but they do should be somewhere

#

Wrath and bc had a lot of quests so im pretty sure they are longer or have cut offs

#

Wod is extremely fast from what ive been told

azure estuary Sep 16, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

I’ve been excited because this new leveling system on paper should allow me to finally get loremaster. BC, and Wrath are all I’m missing

frozen stratus Sep 16, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

Oh nice

#

Yeah itll be a lot more convenient

#

Im excited for the wod leveling path as long as it isnt nerfed

#

Apparently desmephisto did it in 5 hours or so (hes a leveling speedrunner)

#

So that means probably 8 to 12 hours for less experienced levelers and maybe faster for more experiences ones

I gotta get my different armour types ready for prepatch event

ancient jasper Sep 19, 2020, 2:30 PM

It's kind of dumb to only give themselves 2 weeks for all the bugs that will likely pop up once far more people than Beta/PTR are playing it.

The legendary cloak is gone in pre patch? Or we can use it?

funny how a week ago I was stressed about getting everything done before prepatch and now I immediately hopped on the "can't wait for prepatch" train

#

can only feel the pain of people who've been playing 8.3 from day one

tropic trail Sep 19, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

:>

#

literally cannot wait for BfA to be over

limpid spade Sep 19, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

will the state of classes on the prepatch be good enough to do endgame content?

#

or are they undertuned?

tropic trail Sep 19, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

They'll be a bit undertuned as I believe Ion mentioned. You'll want to wait to return to BfA and earlier endgame content until 60.

limpid spade Sep 19, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

oh? I mean, I get how that works in the long run

#

but how are we going to spend the month leading to SL?

#

content-wise that is

tropic trail Sep 19, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

You can do endgame content the same as you have been in groups, but if I misunderstood, you can't solo/do them with only a few people until endgame Shadowlands.

#

I realize now you meant just flat out doing content with full groups. Yeah, you'll be able to do that just fine.

limpid spade Sep 19, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

yeah I was wondering if the scaling will be too harsh to do Nya HC or higher keys that you would be doing before

#

didn't really think about solo old raids

tropic trail Sep 19, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

I just assumed haha. It should be fine doing endgame raids, just a touch more difficulty due to the lack of azerite/corruptions.

#

But folks are smart.

limpid spade Sep 19, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

OMEGALUL

#

still, glad that I haven't invested much gear scaling on corruptions since I first tried 8.3 less than a month ago

#

so the removal will barely affect me

tropic trail Sep 19, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

I didn't touch corruptions at all. I hate them as a system.

#

Especially considering the first mechanic they punish you with is the AoE orb, and as a turret spec in MM it makes playing so frustrating.

#

nothing feels worse than interrupting Aimed Shot three times before I can cast it

limpid spade Sep 19, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

same here for Spriest

#

glad I was able to do the 5mask solos with 2 corruptions only

#

someone scared me off at first saying you need really good corruptions for it

tropic trail Sep 19, 2020, 10:30 PM

but nah that isnt the case

tropic trail Sep 20, 2020, 8:24 AM

😂

#

I know

#

Still this always goes around my head when I think how late the prepatch comes . Someone Sayed the invasion goes 5 weeks but we are over it soon . So how do they want to make 5 weeks of event ?

frozen stratus Sep 20, 2020, 8:26 AM

#

The scourge invasion is only 2 weeks of content.

austere gazelle Sep 20, 2020, 9:14 AM

#

They could have spread it on the PTR to test slowly all the phases

#

but merge them after

#

during my test I found out that the " cut " were weird as fuck so It might have been not intended to be in 5 phases

limpid spade Sep 20, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

doesn't the prepatch event require at least 4 weeks to run smoothly before SL launches?

#

if that's the case, October cannot be the case

frozen stratus Sep 20, 2020, 11:15 AM

#

prepatch event is only 2 weeks long

balmy lynx Sep 20, 2020, 1:55 PM

Wait then why did ptr test “week 3”

frozen stratus Sep 20, 2020, 1:55 PM

was there ever a week 3 test?

balmy lynx Sep 20, 2020, 1:57 PM

I could’ve sworn they did but now I can’t even find it thunk

frozen stratus Sep 20, 2020, 1:57 PM

yeah I dont think they ever did

#

I think somewhere in a blue post they implied there would be more

#

but I dont think they ever tested more iirc

tropic trail Sep 20, 2020, 1:58 PM

there was never a week 3

#

Have they even fixed the scourge event as last time I checked zombies died almost instantly

frozen stratus Sep 20, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

uh

#

idk

#

they tuned them around a bunch

tropic trail Sep 20, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

Yeah, I hope they turn them up back to where they were and just make it optional

frozen stratus Sep 20, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

make it WM on

tropic trail Sep 20, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

Yeah

#

I wonder if they are even listening

#

There are a few specs that need a lot of work and the zombie event is useless

balmy lynx Sep 20, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

Went back to check around and yeah seems only 2 weeks of content, guess my minds more messed up than I knew

limpid spade Sep 20, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

so it's a 2 week event?

balmy lynx Sep 20, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

Possibly not, but there’s only 2 weeks worth of content

#

Meaning it’s possible to have a week of nothing go by

#

Wowhead posted a whole speculation article that might be nice to check out. As it describes better than I could and says what their estimated dates are. But as blizz hasn’t said anything, nothings set in stone

frozen stratus Sep 20, 2020, 2:10 PM

The cultists are casting... due to finish casting on the 6th

So 6th is the prepatch, nice!

#

Well around that time at least

terse anvil Sep 20, 2020, 2:59 PM

That would give us 3 weeks till launch after it drops.. 2 weeks of prepatch content a week to level and gear alts

@tropic trail why did people think it was going to be 4 weeks?

tropic trail Sep 20, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

Because most prepatches have a decent bit of content to do.

#

And were at least 4 weeks long.

Past prepatch lengths

tropic trail Sep 20, 2020, 6:31 PM

Only TBC was particularly short

BFA was long

fading girder Sep 20, 2020, 6:31 PM

I dislike the Cosmic War. And the reason for it might sound weird. I simply dont want to leave Azeroth. If we fight against the Lord and Ladies of the other Cosmic Powers we will surely go to their World/Plane of excistenze. And I rather would love to stay on Azeroth and explore what story our Planet has. For Example: Whats on the back of the World :D?

Well 3/8 expansions are not on azeroth tbf

tropic trail Sep 21, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

How dare you!? The Wastelands are in Azeroth! Its in the Eastern Kingdoms Map at the bottom left corner!!!! (You never saw the Alpha Map I guess!?)

#

Vashj'ir was a much better Nazjatar than Nazjatar was lol. I can only hope we revisit it properly someday but I think they'll want to leave it all behind

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

#

Vashj'ir was a terrifying zone

#

It was as scary as it was a pain to navigate

#

I would love to have an exp like Vashj'ir! Every zone will be underwater. Even the Maintown will be underwater! No Air Bubble to let us walk on ground! The City will have multiple floors and many corners! All Raids and Dungeons will be underwater. Monster are everywhere! Under your feets, at your side, over you! They all use range attacks, you will have to figure out from where the attacks are coming

#

What a wonderful exp that would be ❤️

#

that would be a nope for me lol

how many levels do scourge invasions give?

terse anvil Sep 21, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

the ones in legion? they were awesome

#

like a level or two

runic verge Sep 21, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

the shadowlands ones

terse anvil Sep 21, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

ohh

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

uh

#

dont think it is for leveling?

#

or if it is, it wasnt online long enough for people to get that info

soft flower Sep 21, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

Will shadowlands have something like legion invasions ?

#

Or the horde/alliance invasions bfa had

#

Which zones will be for world quests ?

pulsar minnow Sep 21, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

We'll have a mini zombie invasion, and we'll have dailies and stuff in Icecrown

soft flower Sep 21, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

Updated Northrend zones :O

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

not really

#

just some updates to icecrown

#

and those are only for level 50

#

the zombie invasions are not like legion invasions from what has been seen so far

soft flower Sep 21, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

Hmm I liked those dangg

#

Even the ones in bfa when a zone was under attack was kinda fun

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

yeah - but faster leveling isnt a neccesary thing with prepatch

#

leveling on its own is permanently faster

#

so its not unreasonable to put prepatch stuff at 50

#

since you can get there in 10-15 hours

#

or less

soft flower Sep 21, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

Noo but the invasion stuff was for world quests and rep not leveling

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

which invasions?

#

the ones in BfA and legion that still exist?

#

those werent in at launch

#

they came with X.1

soft flower Sep 21, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

Ohhh okay

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

they will probably have something

#

it will probably come with 9.1

#

oh, apparently bfa assaults were 8.1, but legion was 7.2

#

so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

soft flower Sep 21, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

We shall seee

#

But I can deff see them doing scourge assaults in some random zone that needs updating

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

not happening

#

focus is on the shadowlands

#

there are no quests that send you back to azeroth in shadowlands

#

azeroth is not the focus

soft flower Sep 21, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

Scourge assaults in silvermoon would be awesomee

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

and the scourge invasion stuff is supposedly handled by expac launch

soft flower Sep 21, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

In game canon are we not able to go back to azeroth?

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

we can

#

canonically

#

but there are no quests that send us back

#

the focus is on the shadowlands

meager badger Sep 21, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

somehow it took me 1 hour 30 minutes to get to level 15 frmo 0 starting at exiles reach but 2 hours 30 minutes to get from 10 - 15 when i didnt start at exiles reach same class and same race (mechagnome warrior) i did elwyn forest quests when i started at level 10

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

yes, exiles reach has modern pacing

#

thats not accidental

#

exiles reach is supposed to be more efficient

meager badger Sep 21, 2020, 8:41 PM

i love it

#

how fast is leveling to 1-50?

#

like on average

#

not speedrunning or anything

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:42 PM

10-15 hours

meager badger Sep 21, 2020, 8:42 PM

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:42 PM

yep

meager badger Sep 21, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

hoping to convince my friend to try it

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

thats why the default story is bfa

#

its new

#

has cutscenes

#

and flows right into shadowlands

#

and any important info from pre-bfa needed for shadowlands has those cutscenes ported

soft flower Sep 21, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

I really wish they would put wow on xbox

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

not gonna happen

#

it requires too much control precision

soft flower Sep 21, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

Controller support would bring lots of new people

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

controller support is in SLs

#

but its made for accessibility

meager badger Sep 21, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

if it were implimentable to a usable degree but in wow that like

#

doesnt seem possible

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

it doesnt change the UI or anything

#

it just lets you bind controller button combos

#

the main use is for people with disabilities

soft flower Sep 21, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

Console players are basically disabled tho

dense plover Sep 21, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

that is not an ok thing to say

#

thats discriminatory

#

and not funny

Could they be "One of my people"?

tropic trail Sep 21, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

Consoles are just more affordable and convenient

ancient jasper Sep 21, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

I'd say the affordable part is debatable considering how many games there are on PC.

tropic trail Sep 21, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

I'm not sure what you mean?

ancient jasper Sep 21, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

You can get a semi-decent computer for about $700 that will run thousands and thousands of games versus having to have like an Xbox/PS with a subscription cost

pulsar minnow Sep 21, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

Apparently people who can't afford $1000 RBG setups are disabled

tropic trail Sep 21, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

I mean, sure, you can run infinite indie titles, but if you want to run anything modern (and especially modern in seven years) and have it look decent, $700 isn't gonna cut it.

pulsar minnow Sep 21, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

Heard it here first folks.

deft ridge Sep 21, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

It's not cost to game ratio it's just cost

tropic trail Sep 21, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

The PS4 for example was $400~ and lasted seven years. You'd never find a computer in 2013 for anywhere near that price that performs well on anything today.

#

Yet the PS4 runs most, nearly all, of its end-generation games fine.

#

Affordability is a fact of the draws of console gaming. Especially recently, I don't have the money to throw at a sufficient upgrade to my system that I can't get for significantly cheaper in the PS5.

#

The 3070 is great and relatively cheap, yeah, but it's still $500 for a single part of the system.

tiny stream Sep 21, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

But it will also be an advanced upgrade for this entire gen. This is likely PS5 pro level tech

tropic trail Sep 21, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

What is?

tropic trail Sep 22, 2020, 12:27 AM

#

Not sure if this is the right placve to ask, but

#

Do you really need an SSD to play shadowlands? Or you can still play with an HDD but the quality will go down drastically?

Or can you still play Pre-patch with an HDD but have to get an SSD when Shadowlands launch?

frozen stratus Sep 22, 2020, 12:28 AM

#

You can still play it with a hard drive

#

You'll just get really long loading screens

tranquil steeple Sep 22, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

system requirements were changed a short while after the first pass, SSD is no longer a minimum requirement, but a recommended requirement (IIRC)

frozen stratus Sep 22, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

Its no longer minimum but highly recommended

tropic trail Sep 22, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

because i want to upgrade my computer(well, everything from my computer is 2010 based) so i have 3 HDD and no SSD(since those came out in 2014)

#

and well, i thoguht to buy an SSD, since Shadowlands recommend it.

frozen stratus Sep 22, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

Ssds were earlier than 2014

tranquil steeple Sep 22, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

getting an SSD in general ain't a bad choice, tho

#

even just a 250gb one which should be fairly cheap

frozen stratus Sep 22, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

Yeah

#

Any ssd is likely to be a massive upgrade over a hard drive

frozen stratus Sep 22, 2020, 12:54 AM

tropic trail Sep 22, 2020, 1:11 AM

They definitely never said that. Blizzard explicitly said there would be no boosts like there were in Legion in Shadowlands.

frozen stratus Sep 22, 2020, 1:34 AM

yeah elegy i dont remember them saying that but maybe im wrong XD

#

rn the prepatch event definitely is only for max level players for the most part

#

so no leveling there

granite lion Sep 22, 2020, 1:42 AM

They just completely rehauled the leveling experience. I would understand why they wouldn't want to include a easy leveling event like legions.

@brazen trellis they wrote that in their blogpost yesterday:
Level 120 Character Boosts will boost characters to level 50 after the pre-expansion patch.
Level 110 Character Boosts will boost characters to level 48 after the pre-expansion patch.

Boosts kinda feels useless now that I know leveling will be alot more fun then dull

In shadowlands do we still need to lvl to 50 for heritage armor
