This event will set up the story and prepare players for the Shadowlands expansion. This includes the pre-patch event, a Scourge invasion outside of Icecrown Citadel. While we’ve listed the meat of the pre-patch above, there are some quests that won’t be available on Oct. Players should have more abilities than when they last logged in - but we can’t guarantee that all of them will be useful. While useful for easily overwhelmed, new players, this pruning process caused some players to lose abilities that made them unique - like Hunter’s bizarre Eyes of the Beast ability - and some important utility. Over the past few expansions, Blizzard has worked to remove some of the complexity in classes, dialing them in and taking away some of the ability bloat. But unlike previous class changes, this patch includes the “Unpruning,” which is Blizzard’s silly word for giving numerous abilities back to classes. Like all pre-patches, the Shadowlands pre-patch sees major changes to all of the game’s 12 classes. Veterans can choose whether they want to run through Exile’s Reach or their race’s starting zone. We tested Exile’s Reach as a newcomer and veteran experience in the beta, and thought it did an excellent job. It even has a unique quest based on the player’s chosen class, and culminates in a mini-dungeon. This tutorial scenario is completely new, and takes players through their first 10 levels, teaching them the ropes about how World of Warcraft works. While it won’t affect veterans too much, newcomers will start their World of Warcraft journey in the exceptional Exile’s Reach zone. A new tutorial The new Exile’s Reach tutorial zone is a great learning experience Image: Blizzard Entertainment Once players finish their chosen expansion, they’ll be ready for Shadowlands. The next 40 levels will only take about 10-15 hours depending on the chosen experience and player pace. Once players hit level 10, they’ll speak to Chromie, who will set them on a journey through a single expansion - like the Mists of Pandaria leveling experience, or Warlords of Draenor. Instead of questing through Vanilla, Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and all the way up through the old expansions, players now just choose one leveling experience. Blizzard has completely redone the World of Warcraft questing situation. When Shadowlands actually launches, players can level from 50 to 60.įor new characters, the level squish changes everything. How does that work? Well, any level 120 characters players had are now 50, and any characters below that will get a similar adjustment. While the max level during Battle for Azeroth was level 120, the max level is now 50. The Shadowlands pre-patch comes with World of Warcraft’s first level squish. Players won’t need to pay for any services to change how their characters look, including their character’s sex. With this change, players can now fully customize their character - aside from their playable race - inside the in-game barber shop. More importantly, Blizzard has included more diverse options for players - especially in the human models - so they can create characters that represent themselves better than before. With the pre-patch, players can express themselves with different jewelry, eye colors, hair colors, beard and hair options, tattoos, and more. For years, players have been stuck with older looking models that have very little variety. One of the most exciting aspects of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is a complete overhaul to the character customization system inside World of Warcraft. Here’s a look at what this new pre-patch has to offer. This pre-patch also rebuilds some important structures in World of Warcraft, like level, leveling, and character customization. While we don’t know when we’ll be playing Shadowlands this year, the pre-patch is the first step for Blizzard transitioning World of Warcraft from the dismal Battle for Azeroth expansion to - what players hope - is a fresh start with Shadowlands. The expansion currently doesn’t have a release date, but its big, pre-expansion patch is here nonetheless. 1, Blizzard delayed the highly anticipated Shadowlands expansion for World of Warcraft. The World of Warcraft : Shadowlands pre-patch is (mostly) here, and it brings with it some of the most meaningful changes in any pre-expansion patch.
