8.2 PTR Build-30401: Lightgebundene Untote als verbündetes Volk, leerenberührte Anpassungsoptionen, Pepe-BrilleDiablo Immortal UpdateWowhead Guides

Unsere Classic Klassenguides wurden eingeführt, die Talente, Rotation, Verbrauchsmaterialien, Verzauberungen und mehr abdecken, einschließlich der sehr beliebten Best in Slot-Listen.

Außerdem haben wir eine Reihe beliebter Levelguides veröffentlicht, die nach dem Start verbessert wurden, um die Details beliebter Builds zu vertiefen, wie zum Beispiel den Magier-AoE-Levelguide.

Anschließend haben wir eine Reihe von PvP-Klassenguides sowie detaillierte Guides zum Ehresystem und zu den Schlachtfeldern veröffentlicht. Obwohl sich das Classic PvP in eine AV-Zerg verwandelte, hatten wir Spaß daran, die detaillierten Anleitungen zu schreiben!

Berufe sind in WoW Classic wichtig, folglich haben wir eine detaillierte Serie von Guides zum Leveln jedes Berufs geschrieben, sowie die Standorte aller Rezepthändler aufgeführt und erklärt wie man beliebte Reagenzien wie Schneiderei-Stoffe farmt.

Wir hatten auch großen Erfolg in unseren anderen Kategorien der Classic-Guides, wie z.B. bei den Addons (euch erwartet noch mehr im Jahr 2020!), Schlachtzüge und Dungeons, insbesondere bei den Guides zum Abschließen von Quests!

Obwohl Retail WoW dieses Jahr keine neue Erweiterung hatte, steckte Patch 8.2 Azsharas Aufstieg voller Geheimnisse, die zu massiven Nazjatar- und Mechagon-Guides führten, ganz zu schweigen von den überraschend beliebten Kampfguides für legendäre Haustiere.

Apropos Geheimnisse: Nach dem Erfolg des Guides zum Schwarmbewusstsein im Jahr 2018 haben wir uns mit dem WoW Secret Finding Discord zusammengetan, um euch Guides zu anderen beliebten Geheimnissen und seltenen Reittieren in Azeroth zu bringen, wie zum Beispiel dem zeitverlorenen Protodrache und dem luziden Alptraum.

Zurzeit sind wir damit beschäftigt, unsere Guides zu Patch 8.3 Visionen von N'Zoth zu schreiben, die wir mit euch teilen möchten! Einige der Guides sind bereits live, wie z.B. die Verderbnisübersicht, die ihr euch auf jeden Fall ansehen solltet, da es sich um ein brandneues Ausrüstungssystem im Patch handelt.

2019 was a pretty exciting year for us with the launch of Classic. From setting up the website to work with a completely different database, to importing comments from Thottbot and Allakhazam, to having a whole new set of Class Guides and Writers, it was a hectic, but rewarding year. The best part of the year was to watch our initially small Classic content grow exponentially over the weeks, with some weeks adding over 40 new guides about everything that players could find in Classic.

Working with Classic this year proved to be completely different than working with retail, since a lot of knowledge about the game had been already accrued over the last 15 years, the main challenge of it was how to present it properly.

Sadly with all the Classic hype that existed over the year, our good ol' retail WoW hasn't seen as much as it saw in 2018, but hopefully, 2020 will be more exciting, with new challenges (and expansion) to come to it!

A happy new year to everyone and their families, may 2020 be a wonderful year for you and your close ones!Dirtside (Gnomischer Ingenieur)After spending last winter in the icy depths of the Northrend IKEA (motto: "Sir, you're making a scene"), I'm disappointed to report that despite my best efforts I have indeed not been turned into a pengling. But fear not: this year I've hired a frost mage, a drunken necromancer, and a squad of gnomish circus performers to assist me. Ninth time's the charm, so they say!Erorus (Gobliningenieur)I want to thank the Wowhead community for giving me the privilege of working on WoW tools for all of you throughout 2019. I've had the opportunity to work on a lot of new and interesting projects this year.

I was really glad we could integrate Classic character data into tools like the Gear Planner, Quest Completion Tracker, and Attunement Tracker, so you can find stuff relevant to your character even without Blizzard's Armory.

I also worked on our Discord Tooltips Bot so you can easily search for items, spells, achievements, or almost anything, on Retail or Classic, all from within your favorite Discord servers, and get a tooltip back with a link to the site. It makes checking stats or just linking to things within Discord so much easier. There is some interesting tech behind building (and scaling!) a Discord bot and making those tooltip images automatically.

Speaking of which, I was happy to work with our model team on making some improvements to the model images we use on the site. Look forward to seeing those in your "Same model as" tabs and Dressing Room item pickers soon.

There were also some challenges, most recently with handling Blizzard's API changes and new data protection regulations. And there's also always ongoing site performance improvements and legacy code cleanup. But it's all good. We have a great team here at Wowhead, and the site is getting better all the time. Except when it blows up. Which happens. Occasionally. Briefly. Goblin engineering, after all.

When I'm not writing code, I'll be running around Azeroth in Classic on some caster or another. Probably waving my hands about keeping people alive while everyone else does the hard work. But Shadowlands looks amazing, and that'll pull me back to Retail. It's so nice to be able to play in the past and look towards the future. See you in 2020.Ketsuki (Assistant Site Producer)Another year has come and gone and it still feels like yesterday that I joined the Wowhead Team.

Not a day goes by that I am not eternally grateful to do something that I truly love everyday, as well as work alongside wonderful people and be part of a game community that I treasure.

I'd like to thank my co-workers, who through thick or thin, rain or shine, ups and downs, work tirelessly and passionately everyday. We all strive to improve not only ourselves but Wowhead as a whole every year.

I'd also like to thank the community and content creators who work alongside us to help deliver news, content, guides, and much more.

And a special thank you to our class guide writers who call me mom still, you all have a special place in my heart.

This year flew by in a flash for me. I had many ups and downs, but I made wonderful memories this year at Wowhead, and I hope to make many more next year and bring forth more exciting new projects! Neryssa (News und Guides)I would like to once more thank the Wowhead readers for such an incredible 2019! Battle for Azeroth is coming to an end sometime next year, and what a long journey has it been, from the tall peaks of Drustvar and Zuldazar to the depths of Nazjatar.

Speaking of Nazjatar, for me at least in 2019 the most rewarding experience has been writing the Comprehensive Nazjatar Guide. Many hours were spent in there on both the PTR and live servers, researching every small inch of the zone to ensure everyone has a smooth experience there! There isn't a zone quite like it in 8.3, but I can't wait to continue sharing my adventures in the form of guides that can help everyone.

With that said, the Shadowlands are looming over us, and I can't wait for the Alpha/Beta to start so we get to explore the new zones and bring all the new features for you! BlizzCon 2019 was, at least for me, by far the year where we had the most to do. I could barely enjoy the convention itself but knowing we shared so much information to lots of people that could not attend the convention or watch the panels in real time is more than enough reward for me!

2019 was a very busy year for Wowhead, and we cannot wait to see what 2020 and the new expansion has in store for us. I hope everyone reading this has an amazing New Year and a fantastic 2020!Perculia (Site Director)2019 was an exciting year with the launch of WoW Classic! Expanding Wowhead to cover both Retail and Classic at the same level of detail was a massive challenge as the person overseeing all the projects on the site. I worked on leveling up my management skills, calmly putting fires out, and helping grow the site to cover more content than ever before. Classic was a blast to work on because without modern systems like Titanforging, some of the original features on Wowhead like filters and the Talent Calculator flourished once again. But we could also apply lessons learned from Retail Wowhead, and bring our elaborate guide system over to Classic--the best of both worlds.

While I manage dozens of freelancers in addition to a wild assortment of Goblin and Gnomish developers, I also made an effort to set more time aside to write longreads. Ages ago, before Wowhead, I worked a bunch of odd jobs in museums and academia, and it's been nice to swap back to analytical mode, writing about the lore of the game in articles such as Sylvanas in Shadowlands - Edge of Night, Jailer of the Damned, and Vol'jin's Mystery and Wrathion's Journal and His Plan to Defeat N'Zoth. While I started writing these in 2018, I set a regular schedule in 2019 and I'm happy with the increased frequency of them. It should be exciting to continue writing these articles with all the tasty Shadowlands reveals and broadcast text! I've also helped others on the site to pursue niche projects they truly enjoy, and hopefully that's been reflected in the variety of deep-dives published in 2019.

One of the high points of 2019 for me was starting up our datamining streams. For every PTR build, the team hops on a call to coordinate breaking news and react to the new models. In late 2019 we decided we were confident enough to stream our datamining and the reaction has been great with thousands of concurrent viewers tuning in to see Wrathion and Calia, so we are actively working on improvements to consistently stream the Shadowlands beta! Personally I am working on a way to make Brightpaw sit still so we can have the cat reacting to the datamining on the stream too.

I'm really proud of the team at BlizzCon 2019. Every year we expand the team and plan more coverage in advance, but our goals get bigger so it's just as hectic! This year was notable not only for the Shadowlands reveal but also the overwhelming interest in Diablo--both IV and Immortal--on Wowhead. I personally handled the liveblogging on Twitter, as well as assisting with articles, images, and staff assignments from our Mission Central at the Hilton which featured a pile of snacks and five Pepes.

In 2020 we'll be celebrating Wowhead's 15th birthday--thank you to everyone who has chosen Wowhead as your home for sharing information. It's rare for any type of site to thrive for so long, especially one dedicated to a niche topic. When I first started here at Wowhead, I spent my holidays including Christmas soloing the feedback inbox, and now re-reading this post, I'm reminded that with your support I've been able to expand our wonderful team. A special thanks and warm welcome to all of the Classic writers who joined us in 2019.

Happy new year from Perc, Brightpaw, and Santa Pepe (freed from the 8.3 PTR)! Looking forward to Shadowlands and hopefully justice for Teldrassil!

PigeonD (Datamining-Team)2019 has been a busy and amazing year. It has been great to work with both Battle of Azeroth and Classic. I started playing Wow during Burning Crusade, so it's nice to have the chance to get into the Vanilla experience. Being on the data team it's been interesting to learn about all the tiny details and subtle differences between Classic and the current Wow, and to see how things have changed and evolved in the past 15 years. It's not often you get to work on a project and software that has so much history with it.

As always, it's been a pleasure to work with everyone in the Wowhead team. I'm also very grateful to everyone in the community. It's fascinating to see how quick the smallest bug get found and reported.

9.0 is going to be challenging, but I'm sure it will be very rewarding to work on too. Looking forward to another year of new data, spoilers, bugs and 3am wake up call ;).
See you all in the Shadowlands!Sas (Community Manager)Hello again Wowheaders! This year brought us Classic WoW, including the nostalgia it brought to those of us who experienced it first hand and a new experience for those who joined up later on. Our team worked diligently to ensure this new (old?) version of WoW was covered here with a database, news posts, and even tools (despite no API being available). We even managed to add a Thottbot theme for those who preferred it when viewing the Classic subdomain! An exciting year I gotta say.

Annual shout out to all of our volunteers and contractors who help to translate and moderate our site, Discord and other platforms. Without them things would be quite messy in some parts of the site and their work is often unseen, but trust me when I say it's an important. Thank you to all of you (in no particular order):

2019 was a fantastic year for World of Warcraft and Wowhead.

This year, I started streaming on the raid dates as we pushed to get the Raid Ending cinematics as fast as possible. With success in Battle of Dazar'alor and Eternal Palace, it was an amazing experience to watch the cinematics live with the WoW community before they were put up on Wowhead. I hope to continue this trend for Ny'alotha and Shadowlands in the future and hope you had fun watching alongside me and will continue to do so!

2019 was also a year in which I did a lot more for the site, between organizing in-depth community articles, researching new systems and releasing some breaking news, both good and... not good. I researched and explained Reaping, Beguiling, the upcoming Corruption System, Mythic+ changes and much more. My goal is to keep players up to date on World of Warcraft, so thank you to everyone who read any or all of our guides, articles and content and I hope that it helped.

It's been an exciting year for Wowhead and I look forward to 8.3, Shadowlands and beyond!Stiven (Datamining-Team)This year was great for me, as we managed to reach 100k Youtube subscribers. This was one of my goals when I joined the Wowhead family, and with your help, I reached my achievement.

This year was also filled with many great improvements I had a chance to be involved with. Battle of Azeroth datamining was much more challenging than past expansions, and it made me think ahead to get ready for Shadowlands in 2020! We also had many model viewer improvements including shaders, particle effects, and ribbons so the models look and render as they are in-game. We started to work on the Wowhead studio app for our datamining Twitch Streams, which will be upgraded and improved throughout 2020, so that you will be able to see and hear how we work on datamining patches, getting sneak peeks of cool models before the news is published on Wowhead.

Warcraft III Reforged was the next big thing that I enjoyed datamining, working to display all those models on Wowhead!

The new year is going to be big for us. We can't wait to datamine all cool stuff that will come in Warcraft III: Reforged, Diablo Immortal, Diablo IV and World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.
