Live Posted 2021/11/11 at 11:52 AM by Squishei

The next World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Content Update is just around the corner. Watch an exclusive developer preview of the latest chapter in the WoW saga.

Get Ready for Eternity's End

Zovaal, the eluse Jailer and ruler of the Maw in the Shadowlands, has made his next move—and with it, he threatens to rewrite the rules of reality. In Eternity's End, you'll face him, and perhaps save Azeroth and the Shadowlands from a fate worse than death. Eternity's End features include:
New Zone: Zereth MortisZereth Mortis was created by the First Ones, and it's intended to create afterlives. Its denizens—the automa—have created all that exists in the Shadowlands, Azeroth, and realms beyond. It is a strange, alien location that defies all concepts of reality or physics. The Jailer intends to use Zereth Mortis' power to reshape everything according to his design.
Meet The EnlightenedThe Enlightened are brokers that arrived on Zereth Mortis a long time ago. They no longer see their world in a transactional manner, but instead they treat their dwelling as a sacred place, and hope to answer to a higher calling—the pursuit of knowledge. Find common ground with The Enlightened to succeed and defend Zereth Mortis.
Decode the Cypher of the First OnesThe automa of Zereth Mortis speak in a musical language that is incomprehensible to mortal races. Team up with a curious automa sidekick in this new progression system to learn the lost language of the Progenitors and delve deeper into the secrets of Zereth Mortis, unlocking an array of new zone activities, daily quests, events, and rewards.
New Raid: Sepulcher of the First OnesDeep in the Sepulcher of the First Ones lies the key to unlock the Jailer's plans. Gather the power of the First Ones as you pursue Zovaal into the Sepulcher and fight through his forces—but first, you must face Anduin, and discover a way to resist the Jailer's terrifying Domination magic.
Class Tier Sets ReturnHarness the power of the First Ones by collecting distinctive class armor sets via raids, PvP, or Mythic+ dungeons. Each set comes with powerful 2- and 4-piece set bonuses that complement your unique abilities.

Other features in Eternity's End

Mythic+ and PvP Season 3
Tazavesh added to the Mythic Keystone Dungeon rotation

Note: Tazavesh will be split into two separate dungeons for Seasonal content.

Updates to Professions, Soulbinds, Conduits

Comment by KharneusNothing much was really shown and it was pretty meh. I think they are still pretty early in its development.Comment by ForiousMost interesting question is: WHEN?Comment by NewermoreLooks like minecraft to meComment by TimeTravelerThis is a setting that could be really fun to play. Love the snail mount and hope that the story line is developed in depth so that we really buy into the end of the Jailer and the return of Anduin to Stormwind. (please don't let Anduin die) Oh and then there is darling Sylvanas.Comment by GhandeI like how the devs said "We know players have been waiting for the return of tier sets and so have we" wtf does that mean. Yall are the one who took them away in the first place and kept them gone. Such pandering, and its not even good.Comment by CCwowSo little to see. Was expecting a major patch. It seems like they should have waited a bit more to announce it when they'll have more content to show.Comment by EzwaAlthough the art team single handily carrying this game top notch work in that department.Comment by CursedShadowXII> Even tier sets look like upgraded quests rewards.

Bruh, so that's why the "new" tier sets look kind of familiar.Comment by VoaultNone of this feels Warcraft or engaging to me. We're just too far off the path of what I think makes WoW WoW. Systems and gameplay aside, this high-scifi cosmic afterlife pre-titan stuff really just doesn't jive. Please just give us back grounded, lynchpin storytelling without branching out into literal reality bent gobbledygook.Comment by IMWazoShadowlands aesthetics doesn't appease me (therefore I don't care for the tier sets), our mortal powers have grown beyond what seems possible, and the story is just a total mess. I don't want to save the Shadowlands or Azeroth. I want Zovaal to win.Comment by Noots123I don't mean to be negative, but this stuff isn't the overhaul most players expect from WoW at this point. It's mostly more of the same with the inclusion of some gimmicks and the return of tier sets.

But maybe that'll happen in the next expansion.Comment by chunkycarlOnce again, nothing major been revealed.
It’s a reskinned 9.1.
New zone with time gated unlock- check
Raid- check
M+ season- check.
Where’s the player feedback been worked on? Where’s the changes the community actually want.
The only good thing is the possibility of some tying up of the story- plots that drag on across multiple expansions with bread crumbs along the way are tedious and not captivating at all..Comment by MclardyPersonally I %^&*ing love every expansion of this game :p screw the negativity.Comment by ramajukoFinal chapter of the first book of Warcraft. WTF does that even meanComment by christhekillera golden citadel containing knowledge from those that built the world we are in?

haven't seen that before.

a race of automatons, some who are small, quirky and good with technology?

haven't seen that before.

robot versions of mounts and critters that already exist so the rigging doesn't have to be updated?

haven't seen that before.

ending an expansion on a x.2 patch?

haven't seen that before.

a zone thats really "out there" because it has floating trees?

haven't seen that before.

tier sets that are visually generic so they can all fit the same theme?

haven't seen that before.

what really blows me away is all the self-aggrandizing they're doing, "how do you create something that blows your mind but is still comprehensible? well we did."

it's a bunch of dark stones with glowing runes on them floating around, we've had 40 variations of that since vanilla there is nothing mind blowing about anything i just saw, how can they pick a color of a dart board, slap it on some re-used assets and have the gall to call it "mind-blowing"?

every single patch i have high hopes that something will be different and nothing ever changes.Comment by andreiosWas that it? I was expecting Ion and the gang to, you know, actually talk about stuff we'd be doing, not frikkin' Danuser spewing his garbage fanfic everywhere.

How much do you want to bet that this ENTIRE EXPANSION was just a setup so the Jailer can flip some switch and "remake" azeroth so they have an excuse to do some kind of WoW 2? And all they took away from Classic was not "make WoW 10.0 more like this" but "the rubes, they ARE willing to start new accounts from ground zero and give up all their accumulated progress, mounts, etc!"

Can you imagine, the entire lore burned to the ground and an unrecognizable Azeroth born from the mind of Steve Danuser? It would literally be just a different game with the WarCraft brand slapped on to it.

I really, really hope I'm wrong about that.

EDIT: At least the art team is knocking it out of the park as usual. Music will probably be fantastic too.Comment by courierkillCLASS ARMOR SETS IS BACK YEAAAAAAAAComment by Ikusamehttps://i.imgur.com/aECVzTk.jpg
