Patch 8.1 Round Up

Tides of Vengeance

- The Horde and Alliance conflict may feel more distant right now, but that's all about to change.
- The War Campaign continues.
- Incursions are coming. Similar to Legion Assaults. Horde/Alliance forces will invade an area, turning off World Quests, objective for the area.
- New World Quests are coming.
- Saurfang, Tyrande, and Vol'jin story lines will be advanced.
- Heritage Armor is coming for other races: Dwarves and Blood Elves. It is unlocked via a racial quest, Exalted and Max Level? You can log in, do the quest, and unlock it!
- New Warfront - The Battle for Darkshore. Night Elves vs Forsaken. New Structures and Upgrades. Max Level Darkshore zone updates.
- Two New Island Expeditions - Jorundall (Vrykul) and Havenswood (Gilnean City)
- Island Expeditions will have new events and enemies, more variety.
- Island Expeditions will have major spawning improvements. Won't be uniformly blanketed by spawns. More clusters and hubs, more gaps, more navigability between hubs.
- New Raid - Siege of Zuldazar! Different than any raid before. Enemy is the opposite faction, with separate faction experiences. Alliance climb the pyramid, fight King Rastakhan. Horde defend city, starting outside, go to Rastakhan, fight Alliance forces down towards harbor, ending with Jaina. After completing the faction, you experience the other side of the story through NPCs telling you what happened. You'll be able to experience the other 3 faction bosses. Both factions have 9 bosses.
- New Raid - Crucible of Storms. Two bosses, under Stormsong Valley, coming later, after Zuldazar. Will have supporting world content.
- System Improvements - Class updates, new Azerite Traits, new profession recipes, Gnomeregan Pet Battle Dungeon, and more!
- Team has learned from the Azerite Traits, current ones are a base level, more complexity coming.
- Map and Reputation improvements coming. Champion of Azeroth faction will be effectively account wide.
- Reputation restricted transmog items will have restrictions removed.
- Number of Exalted reputations achievement progress will be account wide.
- In the events following the raid, we should be able to recruit the Kul Tiran and Zandalari Allied Races. If you Exalted with the existing factions and played through the War Campaign, that's enough, nothing additional to do.
- Coming to the PTR by the end of the week!

Guarantee it's just for the specific faction. But this is awesome news. Can't wait to have a Zandalari Pal and KT druid.

I wouldn't count on that, too much plot armor there. It will probably be more of a "This isn't over!!!" and then she limps away or something and a chest appears with some gold in it.

About as racist as a Hollocaust survivor hating !@#$s.

The hate she has for the Horde is well deserved.
No siege of Silvermoon. We are safe and even get our own heritage armor. The Sin’dorei shall indeed prevail.
Did they post pictures of the new Blood Elf heritage armor?
Oh good. Canzerite is staying in the game.
