Brawl: Packed HouseSoldier's EsteemSomething DifferentBrawler's FootlockerWe’ve put more PvP in your PvP! In Packed House, there’s nowhere to hide as you face not 2, not 3, not 5, but 15 adversaries in this 15 vs. 15 Arena battle.

A series of new twists on popular player-versus-player activities are on the way. Starting with “Southshore vs. Tarren Mill”, “Gravity Lapse”, and “Warsong Scramble”, PvP Brawls offer a variety of mode, rules, and scenic changes to the usual Battleground gameplay. Look for the Brawl option in the Group Finder (default hotkey: i) Player vs. Player tab, under the Casual selection.

The scaling of the dungeons will be increasing from 8% health and damage to 10% per level.
Completing a dungeon will reward 2 pieces of loot as a base.
One bonus piece of loot will be earned for completing the dungeon in time.
A stacking 40% chance to get an additional piece of loot will be given for each Keystone level above 15.
e.g. At level 20, you'll be guaranteed 4 pieces of loot, plus an additional piece if you beat the timer.

Once Tomb unlocks, gear will scale up to Keystone level 15.
Keystones can no longer be depleted and can be deleveled.

Completing a dungeon on time will work the same way as in 7.2; you'll get a new Keystone for a random dungeon that's 1-3 levels higher.
If you don't complete the dungeon in time, you'll get a new Keystone for a random dungeon that's 1 level lower.
If you don't complete the dungeon at all, you'll get a new Keystone for the same dungeon that is 1 level lower.

Mistweaver Xia is the Mists Timewalking vendor, found on the Timeless Isle.

Mists Timewalking is the first Timewalking holiday to have pet rewards: Infinite Hatchling and Paradox Spirit. They have the brand-new ability Temporal Anomaly. Each costs 0 Timewarped Badge.

Yu'lei, Daughter of Jade costs 0 Timewarped Badge. This mount was added years ago in the files, and rounds out the Heavenly Cloud Serpent mount family.

In Kun-Lai Summit, you can bring Yaks to the Yak Wash for At the Yak Wash. Relive the experience of a sparkling-clean Yak with Portable Yak Wash for 0 Timewarped Badge.

The puppies from Crate of Kidnapped Puppies, from a Mists rare spawn Borginn Darkfist, have now transformed into Adopted Puppy Crate.

Chilled Satchel of Vegetables references the Mists of Pandaria farm and The Tillers, where Nomi grew up!

Every Timewalking holiday has a quest that starts from an item dropped by the last boss in the first instance. The item for Mists Timewalking is Shrouded Timewarped Coin. This related quest will reward 500 badges.

I can think of two options:

Have the world bosses be on a fixed rotation, so that you know exactly when a particular boss is going to show up again and can plan accordingly.

Increase the number of world bosses up each week to two or three, increasing the chances that a boss you need will be active.

Comment by trestSome other ideas for options to (in some cases just slightly) improve accessibility of the items that only drop from world bosses:

Remove the rep / skill level / artifact knowledge / other requirements for the items to drop and make the drops 100%. E.g., a profession recipe would require only skill level 1 in the profession (and a rank 3 recipe would not require rank 1 or rank 2, in order to drop — but still would to be used). A hidden appearance item would not require artifact power or a rep to drop (but maybe change it to require those to be used, so we can still pick up the items on our alts when the boss is up, but still need to then meet the requirements to use it).

Provide an alternate avenue for acquiring the items (in addition to the world boss). I seem to recall there being something done like this for some other hard to acquire item this expansion. So, you would be able to get the item from the world boss or from some other challenging bit of content. E.g., a particular heroic raid boss, particular dungeon run at a given keystone level or higher, weird world search like Kosumoth (but not quite so ridiculously obscure and long), etc.

Change the world boss system so that 3 are up each week, with a quest in Dalaran where you pick which 1 of the 3 you want to fight. (Still just one loot per week, but more flexibility.)

Comment by sikolikReally ? Do I have to pre-buy the next expansion to see Nidhogg on my fury warr ever again ?Comment by bleedfistI mean I got my hidden artifact skin already and I'm still stuck at the Nidhogg thingy, just because of RNG. This is the part that gets me triggered the most in this xpac - being dependant on TONS OF RNG in order to progress / achieve something cool and having no way of doing anything about it. I don't mind loot being RNG, but it's really everywhere. RNG this xpac is like the pest already and instead of fixing it, they're adding even more RNG elements to the game. I love it how you guys also embraced the idea of world boss rotation being retarded as it stands and given lots of cool constructive ideas on how to combat the issue. I only don't love the way blizzard is always avoiding a talk about those topics, even though for example there has been a massive outrage about the WB rotation throughout the community for a long time .... #Lets_Make_WBs_Great_Again !
