While BlizzCon 2017 focused on Battle for Azeroth, we also learned about many new features coming earlier in Patch 7.3.5. Here are some of the features launching before Battle for Azeroth:

Ulduar Timewalking Raid

Coverage Recap
Timewalking Ulduar
We learned
Timewalking Ulduar
is coming in Patch 7.3.5 through a stream with Jesse Cox.
Ulduar, the prison of Yogg-Saron, was a sprawling raid in Wrath of the Lich King. It had an innovative way to start hardmodes--instead of switching the difficulty of the encounter before fighting, players would have to start the encounter in a certain way to unlock the hardmode. For example: defeating Thorim's gauntlet in 3 minutes or less would trigger his hardmode.
Based on
Black Temple Timewalking
, the only other Timewalking Raid, we predict the following:
Loot rewards that are higher in item level than Timewalking Dungeon loot.
Additional filler "tier" sets for the classes that weren't around in Wrath, like Demon Hunters.
A special transmog achievement for acquiring
Val'anyr, Hammer der Uralten Könige
, in the style of
Ich kümmere mich darum, bis Ihr wieder draußen seid
rewarding
Arsenal: Kriegsgleven von Azzinoth
for Black Temple.
Several more toys to purchase during Wrath Timewalking, similar to how Black Temple Timewalking added
Gebrochener Nekrolythenschädel
and
Tiefgrüne Wurfsphäre
.
We're curious how boss difficulties will work, as Ulduar has many hardmodes, and some even have additional variations like
Freya
or
Yogg-Saron
.
Zone Scaling
Starting in patch 7.3.5, all pre-Legion zones should scale up to a certain level. Currently the plan is as follows:
Starting Zones: 0-10
Classic Zones: 10-60
The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King Zones: 60-80
Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria Zones: 80-90

Zone Scaling Post

New Battleground
The new battleground Seething Shore will work like Arathi Basin, but with a resource twist. The wording in the official post says that a "preview" will be available, so we're not sure if the battleground will be playable, if the zone will open up and we'll watch NPCs fight but not actually battle ourselves, or something creative.
Blizzard
In a new Battleground, Seething Shore, players of the Horde and Alliance will descend upon Silithus to battle over the Azerite bubbling to the surface. This Battleground will offer dynamic control point gameplay similar to Arathi Basin, but with new control points appearing periodically as resources are depleted. This new Battleground will require coordination as you and your team work to overcome the opposing faction. Since this Battleground actually serves to tell part of the story that leads to the events of Battle for Azeroth, we also plan to offer a preview of the Seething Shore during patch 7.3.5 as we continue to build upon the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance for the coming expansion.
Silithus Updates
As the battleground Seething Shore covers the post-Antorus events in Silithus, we expect there to be more story related to the aftermath as well. Spoilers for Antorus:
Sargeras throws a massive sword at Azeroth before he is seized by the remaining titans.
Illidan agrees to be the jailor for Sargeras.
Azeroth is now wounded in Silithus, leading to all sorts of speculation that Old Gods are awakening.
Dialogue after defeating Argus:
Magni Bronzebeard
: The tortured soul of Argus has been put to rest.
Illidan Stormrage
: It matters not. We have lost. Look to the skies!
Prophet Velen
: Sargeras will soon undo all we have fought for.
Voice of Amanthul
: No.
Voice of Amanthul
: We will use the last glimmer of Argus's power to bind him here. The Seat of the Pantheon shall become Sargeras's prison... and ours as well.
Prophet Velen
: You would condemn yourselves to stop him?
Illidan Stormrage
: Our world must survive... no matter the cost!
Voice of Amanthul
: A sacrifice must be made.
Voice of Amanthul
: Return home, children of Azeroth. Protect the final titan.
High Exarch Turalyon
: Prophet... what happened out there?
Prophet Velen
: Illidan serves as the Dark Titan's jailer. His sacrifice has ended the Legion. At long last, the Burning Crusade...is over.
After making his decision, Illidan
leaves messages for Tyrande and Malfurion
.
We've covered the Silithus map and lore implications in our
Black Empire
post.
We assume that in Patch 7.3.2 we'll cover the events of Antorus, and in Patch 7.3.5 we'll see how the Alliance and Horde react to the changes and discover uses for Azerite. We expect there will be disagreements on how best to use the Azerite, setting the stage for conflicts in 8.0.
