The launch date for the highly anticipated World of Warcraft expansion, Dragonflight is getting closer, and now the time has come for the pre-expansion patch to hit the live servers.
Here’s a quick rundown of what you can expect from the pre-patch:
The talent system has been revamped, and here’s the biggest change: “Change your talents anywhere, for free. Switching talents no longer requires being in a rested area or using tomes. However, you can’t change talents during combat, Mythic+ runs, and active PvP matches.”
You can play Mage, Priest, and Rogue classes with all races
Full UI/HUD customization is in, by default, without the help of mods
Season 4 ends this week, with a “post-season” lull until the expansion arrives
The “second phase” of the pre-expansion patch will launch on November 15. At that point, the Evoker class will be playable, and we’ll have access to a new zone (Forbidden Reach), the Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr, and the usual pre-expansion in-game events.
After two very unpopular expansions, Dragonflight may very well be the last chance for Blizzard to sort things out in WoW. Another bad expansion would potentially be “the last nail in the coffin” especially if we take into consideration how amazing and popular Final Fantasy XIV currently is.
