Blizzard seems to be a bit ahead of schedule and is passing the good tidings along to players. On the one hand, I’m a bit apprehensive because my guild is so terribly close to Cutting Edge, but on the other I’m happy to see no lulls in content!
Patch 10.1 will come with the new Zaralek Caverns zone, Cross-Faction guild functionality, and new races to interact with (The Niffen & Drogbar).
May 9th is going to be when the new raid, new Mythic+ dungeon rotation, and new PvP season will start (Complete with an Arena map rotation as well). For Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible all difficulties minus LFR will be available immediately from May 9th. It is likely that they’ll enact the same policy regarding BoE’s from mythic difficulty raids as season 1, though, with them being BoP for the first 2 weeks or so.
Check out the full post below for further information.
Each week we’ll look ahead to what’s in store for World of Warcraft, share the latest news, and keep you in the know byte by byte.
