No stickied thread with today’s patch notes?
I found this on a 3rd party website:
Where do I find the original source here? And why wouldn’t they have a blue post up top on the forums?
EDIT: I found it here → Dragonflight: Fractures in Time Content Update Notes
Maybe they forgot to sticky the thread…
The patch isn’t out yet.
Dragonflight: Fractures in Time arrives to World of Warcraft on July 11!
Venture into time itself to push back the encroaching chaos from other timelines and ensure the preservation of the future in the Fractures in Time content update. You’ll also be able to tend whelps in the Ruby Lifeshrine, embrace the way of the Warlock as the class expands to all races, specialize as the new dracthyr Augmentation Evoker, and more.
The Infinite Dragonflight, long-standing enemies of the Bronze dragonflight, have worked hard to see their ultimate goal of triggering the transformation of Nozdormu, the Aspect of Time, into Murozond. This eight-boss Mythic-only mega-dungeon will take players across the timeways to stop the Infinite Dragonflight from succeeding. You’ll face Iridikron, among others, as you work to sustain Azeroth’s timeline and put things to rights once more. [LEARN MORE]
Emberthal and Ebyssian are working together to release the Black dragonflight essence that had been siphoned from the Dracthyr during their long stasis, unlocking memories and powers forgotten to them. All Evokers now can choose to explore Azeroth as a new specialization: Augmentation. Evokers can play “Our Destiny” quest to try out their new specialization and what it means to the dracthyr at large. [LEARN MORE]
Augmentation is a damage dealer role that uses the essence of the Black and Bronze dragonflights to amplify the abilities of nearby allies. Their playstyle centers on empowering allies to increase their damage output, and using the Evoker’s direct damage spells to improve these empowerments’ effects. Augmentation’s core capabilities will feel familiar to Evoker players, such as spending Essence, casting empower spells, and using their mobility to navigate the battlefield. However, the specialization also introduces many new tools for the Evoker to manipulate the environment in their favor, and assist their allies.
Ebon Might – Increase your 4 nearest allies’ primary stat by a percentage of your own, and cause you to deal more damage for 10 seconds. Your other spells extend the duration of these effects. 1.5 second cast, 30 seconds cooldown.
Upheaval – Gather earthen power beneath your enemy’s feet and send them hurtling upwards, dealing Volcanic damage to them and nearby enemies. Empowering expands the area of effect. 2.5 second empower, 40 second cooldown.
Breath of Eons – Fly to the targeted location, exposing Temporal Wounds on enemies in your path for 10 seconds. Temporal Wounds accumulate a portion of damage dealt by your allies, and then critically strike the enemy for that amount. 1.5 minute cooldown. Replaces Deep Breath.
Draconic Attunements (Passive) – Learn to attune yourself to the essence of the Black or Bronze dragonflights:
Black Attunement grants you and your 4 nearest allies increased maximum health.
Bronze Attunement grants you and your 4 nearest allies increased movement speed.
The time streams have become increasingly more unstable with recent events. As the boundaries between the timelines weaken, minions from other timelines begin pouring through into the Dragon Isles.
Team up with other players to push back against the waves of minions, enter the Time Rifts, and plug the hole by taking down the bosses in alternate timelines to set the timeways straight again. Collect artifacts and take them back to Soridormi to complete quests.
On completion, each Time Rift has a chance to grant a reward based on what timelines you’ve encountered, and you can never obtain the same reward twice! Acquire an Encapsulated Destiny and use it to guarantee yourself a reward from the next Time Rift you complete. Not getting what you want? No sweat! Everything is available on the corresponding timeline’s vendor in exchange for the Time Rift currency, Paracausal Flakes. [LEARN MORE]
While the timeways are unstable, undertake new repeatable content in Eon’s Fringe in Thaldraszus, located near the Temporal Conflux.
Nozdormu knows his time is coming and can feel things are going awry. Due to these disruptions, episodes in Azeroth’s history are going astray, and players must access Eon’s Fringe to set things right. Work to settle the timeways and solve the problems brought about by their instability and reap the rewards of a job well done.
The dragons have more eggs than they can handle, so they’ve called in the crew at the Little Scales Daycare to help. The crew quickly finds itself overwhelmed and so has asked for a little help from their friends—you. You’ll guide five dragon whelps as they grow and learn about the dragon flights, collect new pets, achievements, and more. [LEARN MORE]
Rediscover Kalimdor’s skies with a new dragonriding racing event arriving to Azeroth and running from August 15–28. Challenge 16 races across Kalimdor in Normal, Advanced, and Reverse variations to earn Riders of Azeroth Badges to exchange for rewards from Maztha.
The Warlock class is now available to Night Elves, Draenei, Lightforged Draenei, Pandaren, Kul Tiran, Tauren, Highmountain Tauren, Mag’har Orcs, and Zandalari Trolls. You’ll also be able to undertake a new Warlock-specific questline and use the Barbershop to customize your pets. [LEARN MORE]

Teleport to the character’s home city of Orgrimmar or Stormwind.
All quests in the quest log will be cleared to provide a clean slate. To continue your leveling journey, head to Chromie in Orgrimmar Embassy or Stormwind Embassy.
Characters now learn the appropriate mount riding skill upon reaching the appropriate level without needing to visit a mount trainer.
Level 10 - Apprentice Riding
Level 20 - Journeyman Riding
Level 30 - Expert Riding
Level 40 - Master Riding
Characters that reach level 30 will receive the quest “Time to Fly” and be awarded with a flying mount: the Harbor Gryphon for Alliance characters and Scarlet Pterrordax for Horde characters.
Developers’ notes:
We are lowering the effectiveness of all Primordial Stones that deal damage by 40% to increase gearing options for players. We are compensating specific specializations that are commonly using the Onyx Annulet ring for this damage loss. Alongside this, we are reducing the effectiveness of damage to healing spells to maintain similar healing outputs. This will result in an overall increase in Healer damage in content where the Onyx Annulet is not utilized, but we feel there is room for healer damage to increase in this space without overly incentivizing offensive play. See each class section for specifics.
We’re adjusting the mana economy for all hybrid DPS and hybrid tank specializations. Our goal is to allow for more continuous casts of utility and healing spells while maintaining limits on how much hybrids can contribute to healing, defensive dispels, and offensive dispels. In short, this is a deeper mana pool with less regen.
We are reducing the effectiveness of group healing from DPS from damage-to-healing conversion sources. The abilities affected are Vampiric Embrace, Nature’s Vigil, and Ancestral Guidance. While we want hybrid DPS to be able to contribute healing to the group, these spells have become powerful enough to temporarily alleviate a healer’s role without interrupting the hybrid’s DPS rotation.

Balance
Developers’ note: The following changes are working toward providing more build diversity for Balance Druids, though we’re happy with the current builds and want them to remain popular. We’d like Stellar Flare to be a competitive option against a small number of targets, so we’re reducing the duration of Astral Smolder to make Stellar Flare or Wild Mushrooms more competitive at maintaining Waning Twilight. We’re equalizing New Moon and Fury of Elune a bit and easing up on the importance of entering Eclipse with a Nature’s Grace change. Since many of these tweaks involve pulling back the power of current popular options, we’re increasing Balance’s damage across the board to compensate.

Enhancement
Developers’ note: We want to encourage players to replace their Dragonflight Season 1 set with the new Season 2 set and are lowering the Haste value from the Season 1 set. The new Season 2 set has introduced some interactions with Chain Lightning where the spell might be used even on single target encounters, so we are reducing the season 2 set bonus interaction to keep Chain Lightning as a spell to only use when fighting multiple enemies. We are increasing the damage to your core melee attacks, which will boost your damage up to compensate for the tier set value adjustments and make your damage profile less reliant on the Dragonflight set bonuses. The combination of all of these changes should increase your single target damage slightly while keeping AoE damage roughly the same.

Demonology
Developers’ note: We’re working to reduce the peaks and valleys of Demonology’s throughput by depowering Call Dreadstalkers. This will allow us to compensate by increasing the throughput of Demonology’s other rotational spells. Lastly, the Demonic Core economy has been too generous in Dragonflight. We want to return Demonology to a place where Shadow Bolt is frequently cast, Demonbolt damage feels impactful, and the number of instant casts available is a bit more limited.
Ripped Through the Portal, Fel Covenant, Demonic Meteor, and Fel Might have been removed.

The Myth track is a new track that goes from 441 (Myth 1/3) to 444 (Myth 2/3) to 447 (Myth 3/3). Gear cannot be upgraded above Myth 3/3.
This change is retroactive for all gear obtained in Season 2. Any Season 2 gear that was created at item level 441, 444, or 447 will now display its upgrade level along the Myth track and can be upgraded at any item upgrade vendor.
Upgrading gear along the Myth track requires Flightstones and an Aspect’s Shadowflame Crest for each upgrade. The usual discount rules apply here (if the character has a higher level piece of gear in the same slot, no crest is needed; if any character on the account has a higher level piece of gear in the same slot the Flightstone cost will be halved).
Seal of Diurna’s Chosen effect damage reduced by 25%.

True, but it is being applied right now, right? Do they typically wait until the servers are back up and the patch is live to release info about it?
The info must exist, I just copied and pasted it here from another website…
The link is right there on the page you linked.
Yes, as you can see I did find it, thanks.
I’m still just wondering why I don’t see anything on the forums about it.
As to why it’s not stickied, I can’t say. But it IS on the forums as I just linked you the thread. No one has commented in 4 hours so it’s fallen off the front page however.
Still no stickied post on General Discussion.
Small indie company and all that…
Is this really what you’re reaching to whine about?
Why do you ask, am I hurting your feelings? 
Thanks for the bump!
