Dragonflight features an overhauled user interface, raises the level cap to 70, and introduces a new race and class. Thu, 01 Jun 2023 00:50:42 GMT en-US hourly 60 As June draws near, Blizzard pulled back the curtain on what World of Warcraft: Dragonflight players can earn this coming month at the Trading Post. Since its introduction in Patch 10.0.5, the Trading Post has given players a way to earn cosmetic rewards just by trying different aspects of World of Warcraft that the game has to offer.

While the Embers of Neltharion patch is in full swing, the next update will be called Fractures in Time and focuses on the Bronze Dragonflight. World of Warcraft will finally give the stage to these time-bending dragons and their constant battle with fate itself.

Every World of Warcraft expansion has its iconic dungeons, from Mists of Pandaria's Stormstout Brewery or the Mists of Tirna Scithe from Shadowlands, and as the years go by, nostalgia makes the instances appear even sweeter in their absence. Memories made in the Magisters' Terrace during the final patch of The Burning Crusade linger in the minds of many World of Warcraft veterans.

While this toy could come from any number of sources, many World of Warcraft players hope it could hint at a new story for the Draenei.

The player put Galakrond's scale against a few landmarks in World of Warcraft and showed why Galakrond will be a force for players to deal with shortly.

Although in-game moderation is a never-ending debate, World of Warcraft tried to curb the toxicity and harassment within the platform by publishing a social contract in June 2022. It forbade player behaviors that involve abuse, harassment, bullying, and spamming, reminding gamers that a community is only as good as its members.

The contest that began with World of Warcraft: Dragonflight has finally ended, though in a rather different way than anyone anticipated.

]]> Tue, 23 May 2023 19:11:25 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-black-dragonflight-aspect-ebyssian/ World of Warcraft is a game well-known for its iconic and legendary characters, some of which have been around longer than the MMO itself. One of these hugely popular characters is being recognized by three new cosmetic items that make up The Guardian Pack. This raven-themed transmog pays homage to none other than Medivh, World of Warcraft’s last Guardian of Tirisfal and one of the most powerful mages to ever live.

In just a few weeks’ time, Evokers will say hello to a brand-new specialization: Augmentation.

Patch 10.1.5, called Fractures in Time, brings with it a surprising amount of content. Evokers in particular never expected to be given this much love so soon after their arrival in World of Warcraft.

]]> Mon, 15 May 2023 19:16:56 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-augmentation-evoker-dracthyr-exclusive-support-gameplay-buffs-damage/ World of Warcraft players were excited when Blizzard first introduced the Trading Post feature at the start of this year. This mechanic was supposed to give players access to dozens of previously unobtainable or exclusive cosmetics at no extra charge. All that players had to do was simply play the game, and they would earn a slew of cosmetics every month. It seemed like a step in the right direction for World of Warcraft, but that sentiment has quickly changed since.

Neltharion is also known as Deathwing in World of Warcraft due to his massive dragon form that played a key role in the Cataclysm expansion, but players aren't done with the powerful foe yet based on the Dragonflight raid and references inside it.

]]> Sat, 13 May 2023 17:45:57 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-aberrus-bosses-names-neltharion-deathwing/ World of Warcraft: Dragonflight has introduced a new feature known as the Trading Post, a cosmetic store that has proven successful. But its popularity among World of Warcraft’s player base is not unconditional. Blizzard needs to be careful not to make the same mistake they did with Diablo 3, a decision that can easily turn players off any game.

]]> Fri, 12 May 2023 14:20:17 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-diablo-3-trading-post-microtransactions-pay-win-bad/ World of Warcraft features many diverse options for completionists and fans of collecting cosmetic items, including collecting mounts, pets, and transmogrification gear. Mount collecting remains a popular pastime despite the introduction of Dragonriding mounts, which are required for flight in World of Warcraft's Dragonflight expansion continent, Dragon Isles. A mindbogglingly vast collection of ground and flying mounts have been added to the game over the course of the last eighteen years. It's safe to say that interest in mount collecting has not waned as Blizzard continues to deliver exotic and stylish new additions for players to obtain, including the new Big Slick in the City ground mount.

Though players of both World of Warcraft factions can join the same guild as of Patch 10.1, this player’s unique circumstance prevents him from doing so.

A line of dialogue spoken after these new World of Warcraft enemies are defeated left many fans annoyed and confused.

In the post, the developers gave World of Warcraft players a first glance as to what's coming after Patch 10.1, including a few surprises that players can get their hands on soon.

As with any new release, there are bound to be a few hiccups along the way, but this particular patch had quite a few perplexing surprises. Many of World of Warcraft's players were left scratching their heads as they encountered a number of bugs, glitches, and miscommunications from Blizzard.

]]> Thu, 11 May 2023 13:15:32 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-warcraft-embers-neltharion-bugs-mailbox-dragonriding-broke/ In World of Warcraft: Dragonflight’s Embers of Neltharion content patch, players delve into the depths of Zaralek Cavern to uncover the secrets of the fallen Aspect of the Black Dragonflight, Neltharion. This long-forgotten cave discovered beneath the Dragon Isles is brimming with new items and enemies waiting to be encountered.

]]> Thu, 11 May 2023 13:00:16 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-how-open-blazing-shadowflame-chest/ World of Warcraft players have largely enjoyed Embers of Neltharion for Dragonflight, but there seems to be one major aspect of Patch 10.1 that many find lackluster, tedious, or just plainly bugged. The first major content patch after the launch of the latest World of Warcraft expansion was an important update for Blizzard and its developers. The team knew it had to get Embers of Neltharion right, and they knew it had to be done fast. Shadowlands had a similarly stellar launch compared to Dragonflight, but its inaugural season lasted too long, and the content ultimately offered with Chains of Domination set the tone for the remainder of the expansion: one of disappointment and apathy.

]]> Wed, 10 May 2023 22:25:24 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-embers-of-neltharion-fyrakk-assaults-players-unhappy/ World of Warcraft’s Zaralek Cavern continues the main campaign story of the Dragonflight expansion with new quests, a new Renown faction, the Loamm Niffen, and loads of new enemies and challenges. Although the mole-like Niffen are the stars of this new WoW update, Zaralek Cavern also features a new "hidden" faction with which players can earn reputation - the Glimmerogg Racers.

]]> Wed, 10 May 2023 20:27:16 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-wow-get-snail-pets-brigguls-snailspiration-quests/ World of Warcraft: Dragonflight has just released its newest raid in Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible. It takes place deep beneath the earth within Deathwing’s ancient laboratory, where all manner of sinister creations were abandoned millennia ago. Now, players must battle their way through hordes of draconic soldiers and twisted monstrosities to stop the Sundered Flame from claiming the power they believe is owed to them.

]]> Wed, 10 May 2023 16:02:26 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-deathwing-abberus-hidden-dragonflights-reason/ World of Warcraft Dragonflight’s Zaralak Cavern, located beneath the Dragon Isles, is home to many new quests, rare enemies, and world encounters for players to discover. While exploring, players may also come across treasure chests, some locked, that contain helpful items.

]]> Wed, 10 May 2023 13:00:17 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-dragonflight-bottled-magma-open-ancient-zaqali-chest/ World of Warcraft: Dragonflight has brought with it every one of the game’s dragons as central characters, especially the four remaining Aspects. They are the leaders of all dragon kind, the oldest and wisest of their ilk. However, World of Warcraft's players may have noticed that these grand, powerful dragons now lead on their own, with no special someone at their side.

]]> Tue, 09 May 2023 16:56:55 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-dragonflight-dragon-aspects-tragedy/ A World of Warcraft streamer from Ukraine had their broadcast interrupted by an attack by the Russian military on his city.

]]> Mon, 08 May 2023 20:31:44 GMT https://gamerant.com/ukraine-world-of-warcraft-twitch-streamer-attacked-russia/ World of Warcraft’s current expansion, Dragonflight, is well regarded for its compelling and intriguing quest lines. Players often have legendary adventures, battling armies of elemental foes alongside their dragon allies to save the world of Azeroth. That being said, there are some quests in World of Warcraft that aren’t full of action and combat, but instead exist to evoke tender emotion.

]]> Sun, 07 May 2023 13:30:16 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-dragonflight-waking-shores-quest-duroz-dragonmaw-alexstrasza-emotional/ World of Warcraft players who are experiencing performance issues after Patch 10.1 may be able to find relief with this handy trick. While there is no guarantee it will fix their frame rate drops completely, it has helped some players improve their gaming experience after World of Warcraft’s most recent content update.

]]> Sat, 06 May 2023 19:51:34 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-dragonflight-update-10-1-performance-fix-fps-drops/ World of Warcraft’s latest expansion, Dragonflight, has embraced all things draconic in both story and gameplay. The new race-class combination found in the Dracthyr Evoker is one that players have found both engaging and satisfying, as they are currently among the most effective healers and damage dealers in World of Warcraft right now. Despite this, the Evoker only has two specializations as opposed to the usual three, leaving many to wonder if a third one is on its way.

Prior to Battle.net transitioning into a library for Blizzard games, titles such as World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 each had dedicated launchers. Many players look back to this era fondly, as few things sparked such excitement for Blizzard fans as when they'd insert their StarCraft 2 installation disks only to be greeted by a fully-narrated recap of events from the past game, accompanied by an epic orchestral score.

]]> Fri, 05 May 2023 18:56:12 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-fan-made-launcher/ Many of World of Warcraft’s players may remember Deathwing, whose immense shadow blocked out the sun. He was the Black Aspect, turned evil after thousands of years spent seething beneath the earth. What players might not know, however, is how close World of Warcraft’s biggest, nastiest dragon actually came to breaking Azeroth apart.

]]> Thu, 04 May 2023 17:55:48 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-deathwing-cataclysm-azeroth-consequences-black-dragonflight-return/ World of Warcraft might be adding a new type of Dragonriding drake to Dragonflight soon.

After putting the pieces together, the player was able to obtain the new collectible and shared why one particular piece from an old era of World of Warcraft was a clever use of tying the game's lore to something that has become relevant again.

]]> Wed, 03 May 2023 19:12:26 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-blazing-shadowflame-toy/ With the Secrets of Neltharion patch, World of Warcraft is bringing a host of new content including a distinct zone, quests, and a whole raid tier. One small, seemingly insignificant change is also coming that should make World of Warcraft’s worgen players a lot happier. For the first time in well over a decade, worgen players will have the ability to feel like real werewolves when they go up against foes.

Azeroth has been constantly invaded, entire worlds have been destroyed, dragons have rampaged across the land, and civilizations have fallen into disarray. It is an endless cycle of despair, danger, and conflict, with each expansion introducing even more struggles to overcome. This constant cycle has kept players on their toes, but it has barely changed World of Warcraft when looking from a bird's-eye view.

]]> Mon, 01 May 2023 14:42:15 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-warcraft-destiny-2-mmo-narrative-model-world-conflicts/ Some of World of Warcraft's greatest moments in history are found within its cinematics and cutscenes. From the original cinematic trailer for Vanilla WoW to the in-game cutscenes featuring their player character helping to cook up a hot bowl of soup, these sequences secure themselves in the memory of fans by evoking powerful emotion, beautiful scenes, or awesome spectacle. Dragonflight has continued that trend, with some of the best cutscenes in World of Warcraft. With the Embers of Neltharion update nearly live, more cinematics and cutscenes are right around the corner.

The game quickly amassed a massive community and has gone on to become one of the highest-grossing video game franchises of all time. It is often cited as one of the best that the genre has to offer, and almost every expansion has made the game even better.

Since its debut in Patch 10.0.5, World of Warcraft has updated the Trading Post monthly with new tasks for players to complete and rewards to collect.

]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2023 23:49:29 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-may-trading-post-rewards/ While the Dragon Isles offers up brand-new factions, landscapes, and villains to defeat, for Hunters, there are a variety of interesting new pets just waiting to be tamed. As can be expected, the pets found in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight appear primitive and ancient, just like the continent adventurers find themselves on.

]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2023 22:30:16 GMT https://gamerant.com/wow-dragonflight-best-hunter-pets/ There's been no shortage of divisiveness and heated arguments ever since the new Mythic affixes were announced for World of Warcraft, but the recent string of nerfs implies that Blizzard is willing to course-correct and listen to the community. Dragonflight Season 2 is removing seasonal affixes while adding new ones to the mix, but the reception from players has been less than stellar. Though Mythic Keystones are meant to challenge dungeon groups by design, fans have always found certain affixes in Mythics tedious rather than challenging.

]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2023 16:38:47 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-mythic-affixes-nerfs-patch-update-10-1/ World of Warcraft is just about to release Embers of Neltharion, the first major patch in Dragonflight. This content update adds the subterranean Zaralek Cavern zone, the Loamm Niffen Renown faction, and a new raid called Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible. Players can collect new gear and customizations as they participate in new activities and world events. And of course, a new patch means a new chapter of World of Warcraft’s story, complete with new cinematics and cutscenes.

]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2023 16:05:36 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-dragonflight-embers-neltharion-cinematics-cutscenes/ World of Warcraft pulled back the curtain on what players can expect in a few days with the release of the patch notes for Patch 10.1, Embers of Neltharion. The next major content update for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight will take players to the deep underground of the Dragon Isles as multiple forces seek to uncover the dark secrets that Neltharion, who would later be known as Deathwing, left behind and use them for their own ends.

]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2023 02:44:24 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-10-1-patch-notes/ World of Warcraft first introduced a transmogrification system in the Mists of Pandaria expansion, and it has been one of the most beloved aspects of the game since. Players dedicate huge amounts of time and effort into making their character look perfect, and the sheer number of available appearances provide endless choices. More recently, World of Warcraft has introduced even more ways to get ahold of the juiciest transmogs.

]]> Thu, 27 Apr 2023 16:03:11 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-warcraft-transmog-feature-income-sources-application-mmos-diversity-motivation/ Embers of Neltharion, the upcoming World of Warcraft content patch, is merely a few weeks away, and Blizzard has prepared the next batch of Twitch drops for players to obtain in celebration of its release. A trend that many companies have recently picked up, Twitch drops serve as a way for games to receive even bigger exposure on Twitch, rewarding fans with exclusive rewards for tuning in to usually watch a preview of upcoming titles or updates. Blizzard especially has embraced Twitch drops for Overwatch 2 and World of Warcraft, though the implementation had some growing pains along the way.

Her story is a long and tragic one, and many fans know her origin well given she’s been the center of World of Warcraft’s story for many expansions. What many players don’t know is how the Banshee Queen actually has nine lives.

]]> Wed, 26 Apr 2023 18:34:18 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-warcraft-sylvanas-windrunner-banshee-queen-cat-lore-nine-lives-val-kyr-shadowlands/ World of Warcraft’s game director just commented on the rumors surrounding a potential third specialization for Evokers. While his words seemed to give a definitive answer, closer inspection might mean something big could be coming to World of Warcraft in the future.

]]> Tue, 25 Apr 2023 21:59:47 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-third-evoker-specialization-leaks-rumors/ Following the weekly server reset, World of Warcraft players worldwide reported that they experienced issues with completing certain tasks that require crafting specific goods. Though the bug is inconsistent in its replication, this has left some players concerned, given that any bug with the reworked crafting system in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight could have rippling effects on the game's player-run economy.

]]> Tue, 25 Apr 2023 20:01:49 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-crafting-not-working-why/ World of Warcraft players have been calling for an Azeroth world revamp for a while now, but Blizzard has yet to do anything about it. The current version of Azeroth was introduced way back in Cataclysm and has been in World of Warcraft longer than the classic version was. As time has gone by, the cracks and imperfections in this version have only gotten more prevalent, and Blizzard missed its perfect opportunity to revamp it.

]]> Tue, 25 Apr 2023 18:40:16 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-warcraft-dragonflight-timeskip-what-happened-azeroth-change/ World of Warcraft players are divided on Vyranoth, one of the new main antagonists introduced in Dragonflight. Though many players enjoy what they’ve seen of the character thus far, some World of Warcraft fans have criticisms about her design–especially when compared to her fellow Primal Incarnates.

This change came about after a group of World of Warcraft fans brought the racist connotations to the attention of the developers.

]]> Mon, 24 Apr 2023 19:54:45 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-vol-jin-trolls-racist-name-fix/ The night elves in World of Warcraft have endured much in the past few years. In the Battle for Azeroth expansion, they faced unimaginable loss and tragedy as Sylvanas Windrunner destroyed the Kal’dorei capital city within Teldrassil, the World Tree. Now, World of Warcraft's desolated night elves might have a chance to regrow their home somewhere new.

]]> Sat, 22 Apr 2023 16:00:17 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-night-elves-teldrassil-replacement-location-dragon-isles/ World of Warcraft recently shared an official preview of the Fyrakk Assaults world event coming in Patch 10.1, Embers of Neltharion.

The leak was shared on social media, leaving fans speculating as to what this leak could mean as World of Warcraft prepares to release Patch 10.1, Embers of Neltharion, in the coming days.

While this change will be a net positive for most World of Warcraft players, a small group may be in trouble when Patch 10.1 goes live.

]]> Wed, 19 Apr 2023 23:21:24 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-dragonflight-patch-10-1-gear-trading/ World of Warcraft is indirectly nerfing healing specializations in Patch 10.1 by buffing just about everyone else. This will make the job of healers in World of Warcraft a lot harder than it currently is.

]]> Wed, 19 Apr 2023 22:35:36 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-healers-nerf-stamina-damage-offheal-buff/ With World of Warcraft Patch 10.1 just days away from release, Blizzard revealed a schedule for the upcoming raid Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible.

Though a seemingly small addition, this new World of Warcraft item is actually a great accessibility tool.

]]> Tue, 18 Apr 2023 20:41:44 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-dragonflight-how-cross-faction-guilds-work/ World of Warcraft: Dragonflight has introduced the game’s most ambitious playable race so far, the Dracthyr. These draconic warriors were hidden from Azeroth for millennia, but they’ve finally returned and are ready to fight for their home. Players have dug their teeth into World of Warcraft’s all-new race-class combo, but there’s just one aspect that leaves a lot to be desired.

This World of Warcraft mechanic adds flight physics to players’ mounts when they take to the skies, while also giving them countless customization options for their favorite dragon steeds. Although it has only been in the game for a few months, festive events like Noblegarden introduce even more options for customization that haven’t been seen before.

]]> Sat, 15 Apr 2023 23:21:19 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-glitch-zandalari-eye-missing-blind-glow/ The Old Gods have been a staple of World of Warcraft’s lore since its release, cropping up in some form or another in nearly every expansion. These eldritch monstrosities are fan-favorite antagonists in the game, so it’s no wonder they keep coming back. World of Warcraft: Dragonflight thus far hasn’t overtly featured any squirming tentacles and glowing eyeballs, but the signs have actually been there all along.

Every faction has their notable leaders, every expansion introduces terrifying enemies, and the vast lands of Azeroth are filled with fantastical stories waiting to be explored.

Though this character had a relatively small role back then, it seems he might have a major one when he returns to World of Warcraft in Dragonflight.

]]> Thu, 13 Apr 2023 23:43:47 GMT https://gamerant.com/world-of-warcraft-dragonflight-voice-line-legion-npc-travard-return-patch-10-1/ World of Warcraft has featured countless iconic antagonists over the years, from the Burning Legion to the Scourge and the unending armies of the Old Gods.

So far, the main antagonists of the expansion are the Primal Incarnates, massive proto-drakes imbued with Azeroth’s elemental powers. Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible will be the setting for the next raid in World of Warcraft, but interestingly enough, none of the Incarnates themselves feature as bosses within. Instead, it sets the stage for their ultimate weapon - Shadowflame.
