7.2 now!

"The Tomb of Sargeras"
Logo shown


- Returning to the Broken Shore
- Class Order Hall campaign continuation
- New Faction: Armies of Legionfall (all order halls put together, or something)
- New World Quests - class-themed WQs in the Broken Shore area

Isle of Quel'danas concept is being revisited:

- Build a base on the Broken Shore and plan an assault
- Players will have agency in choosing which content to unlock in their bases, but seem to be doing it en masse, like the AQ40 turn-ins
- The population will get to collectively choose which part of the base to unlock, probably unique to each realm

Legion Assaults
- Inspired by pre-launch August event
- Legion will hit Broken Isles zones
- During an attack, skybox will turn dark, WQs will be disabled in the zone (except for the new WQs to fight the Legion)
- These temporary Legion WQs will still count toward an Emissary daily
- After clearing out some Legion WQs, you'll join a 3-player scenario (like MOP scenarios, role agnostic) to take down the Legion airships over that zone

Flying
- Flying is returning in 7.2 (to rapturous applause)
- omg custom class mounts for flying!
- OWLCAT FOR PREISTS YES

so is 7.1.5 Nighthold? or that wont be a patch, just randomly "activated" when they feel like it?

Unknown! Not mentioned, I don't think.

They talked about this before legion even launched. Nighthold is 7.0, just activated at the start of 2017. They don't need to patch it it's already "live" just not playable

 

[Slayerx]

These mounts are fantastic, holy shit.

 

[Magnus]

OWLCAT!

 

[Trickster]

I'm so confused by 7.2 being Tomb of Sargeras lol. Where the hell do they fit Nighthold in?

 

[Finaj]

I'm so confused by 7.2 being Tomb of Sargeras lol. Where the hell do they fit Nighthold in?

In January before 7.2. Nighthold is still considered part of the first tier in Legion.

 

[Rhaknar]

class mounts? nice, whats the druid and monk ones?

 

[cdyhybrid]

I'm so confused by 7.2 being Tomb of Sargeras lol. Where the hell do they fit Nighthold in?

Nighthold is not its own patch. We're technically in the content patch for Nighthold - it's just not unlocked yet.

 

[Anoregon]

Nighthold is already in the game, it's just "turned on". It goes live in like 7 weeks.

Nighthold doesn't actually require any kind of patch. The only reason you can't do the raid is that Blizzard won't let you into it. It's probably going to launch with like 7.1.5 or something like that that just adds any remaining quests and/or cinematics.

nah probably at the end of the new suramar questline

 

[Slayerx]

Seriously impressed with 7.2. Blizzard is delivering so hard right now.

 

[Rhaknar]

new dungeon yeah boi

New Dungeon - Cathedral of Eternal Night, 4 boss dungeon, normal, heroic, and mythic+ difficulty.

 

[Trickster]

I guess you're all right. I just thought the assumption was the 7.2 = nighthold

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

Holy shit @ those Monk, Warrior, and Shaman mounts

 

[Napalm_Frank]

What's the Monk mount?

 

[Rhaknar]

What's the Monk mount?

a lot of these are flying mounts so unless the monk, pali and hunter mounts sprout wings, thats weird

 

[Trickster]

They are actually making me slightly interested in pvp. Never thought i'd see the day. Haven't cared about pvp at all since vanilla

 

[TheYanger]

This panel is impressing the shit outta me

 

[Rhaknar]

fu shamans

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Give the Zen cloud a speed buff and call it a day.

 

[Rhaknar]

Guardian druids get a werewolf-bear style skin!

oh snap

 

[M.D]

Shroud of Concealment back - Rogues best mythic plus class confirmed

Now please fix Roll the Bones and I won't complain

 

[Hixx]

Patch 7.2 will retune Heroic and Mythic+ dungeons, both difficulty and rewards.
Karazhan will be broken into Upper and Lower sections, queueable random heroics, Mythic+ as well.
Court of Stars and The Arcway will also become queueable.

Sweet

 

[Shahadan]

Warriors are finally getting their flail weapon appearance.

Nice, didn't someone here really wanted one?

 

[Slayerx]

I'm crying irl.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Im seriously impressed by their views on talent trees and how they might bake in "necessary" talents.

Blizzards killing it

 

[Rhaknar]

Nice, didn't someone here really wanted one?

if I was a prot warrior I would have a raging boner right now. That thing looks amazing

edit: BOOM ARGUS CONFIRMED

shocking noone

 

[Dog Problems]

Love that druid mount. I've been wanting a giant owl to fly on.

 

[Angry Grimace]

So I guess we're just going to actually kill Sargeras, then? Damn.

 

[Rhaknar]

Love that druid mount. I've been wanting a giant owl to fly on.

you mean to fly as

heroic kara, arcway and court of stars in 7.2. Also Mythic + Kara (it will be split in wings)

 

[Anoregon]

I know 7.2 is the big shit but 7.1.5 has the potential to be really important. If they can actually fix/improve a few of the big class/spec issues people have been complaining about since before launch, they will be in a really good position for the rest of the expansion.

 

[Dog Problems]

you mean to fly as

heroic kara, arcway and court of stars in 7.2. Also Mythic + Kara (it will be split in wings)

lol I didn't even notice that. I was too busy admiring the look that I didn't even notice there is no character on it.

 

[Rhaknar]

RIP Bear Tanks, all hail the Warebear tanks

 

[Tacitus_]

How will I be able to play this and all the other stuff coming out :d

 

[Dog Problems]

RIP Bear Tanks, all hail the Warebear tanks

Makes me glad that my druid is worgen.

 

[Rhaknar]

a lot of the art skins coming are the ones we knew existed from datamines, but im seeing some new aswell. Prot Palis also get a Flail for example

 

[davepoobond]

How will I be able to play this and all the other stuff coming out :d

"what other stuff?"

 

[Nozomi]

So next Expansion probably Queen Azshara and her old Gods friends since 7.X is Argus.

So I guess we're just going to actually kill Sargeras, then? Damn.

I dont think so. We will try but he will spank our ass.

 

[Azzurri]

It looks like the class 'fantasy' kinda was a fail, they're adding utility and skills back to old classes.

 

[LogicStep]

fu shamans

Hell yeah that looks amazing!

 

[Strimei]

I'm catching up after getting home from seeing Doctor Strange.

I am SO VERY GLAD the new dungeon in 7.2 will have normal and heroic versions. I was afraid they were going new mythics only from here on out.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Patch 7.3 is Argus.

How

Shouldn't that be its own xpac?

 

[Artanisix]

harambear Kreygasm

 

[dimb]

I'm actually pretty shocked. I get that the story was veering in that direction but it just does not make very much sense from a lore perspective. Kil'jaden is supposed to be super cunning, so it seems pretty ridiculous that he'd just kind of let his invasion plans fall apart without a twist. Also if we go to Argus and unseat the demons Sargeras really loses his general forces, and you're basically just asking him to come smack Azeroth in half. Even from a content perspective what does going to Argus mean if it is not an expansion? Who is supposed to be there to fight of Kil'Jaden and Archimonde are both knocked out? When does the demon fatigue end?

Glad to see 7.2 is stacked, and hopefully 7.1.5 can fix some of the more unsturdy fundamentals.

 

[Rhaknar]

Patch 7.3 is Argus.

How

Shouldn't that be its own xpac?

maybe we stay there at the end leading to the expansion

or 7.3 is Argus to wrap up the Legion shit with Sargeras and the expansion is old gods

 

[davepoobond]

is Argus a raid?

 

[Strimei]

Damn it, I was hoping for the Kirin Tor style Aluneth. Where the hell are we going to get that one?!
