Artifact WeaponsHow We Retire our Artifact Weapons

On Patch 8.0, we will officially retire our Artifacts. Artifacts will be "burned out", losing all their invested traits and abilities. However, Relics applied to an artifact will still raise the Artifact's Item Level.

All Artifact appearances, with the exception of the base Mage Tower (一看就是來挑戰的) tint will continue to be obtainable through Battle for Azeroth.

You will be able to transmog your unlocked artifact appearances onto your weapons in BfA, as long as it matches your equipped weapon type.
In special cases (Like Holy Paladins and their 2h Mace, or Feral Druids and their dual-wielding Daggers), you will be able to break the rules and transmog your artifact appearances over weapons that would not normally fit within the transmog rules.

Gear Changes

Loot Distribution is being changed to Personal Loot only, as confirmed by game director Ion Hazzikostas.

An item level and stat squish is also happening on 8.0.

System Changes

Individual buttons for Druid travel forms.
Each individual Druid travel form now has its own passive ability, meaning druids can glyph different forms for each of their travel forms.

Arcane Torrent and Every Man for Himself changed

Two of the strongest racial effects have received changes in BfA, with 奧流之術 receiving a new effect and added to the GCD and 求生意志 having its cooldown increased.

The majority of class cooldowns have been added to the GCD

Abilities that are in the Global Cooldown, or GCD, cannot be used at the same time, meaning you must wait for the default GCD, 1.5s reduced by haste, until you can use your next ability.

Before BfA, many abilities were called "off-GCD" as you could two or more of them at the same time, even in the same button macro. For BfA, Blizzard started to reduce to amount of abilities in this state.

All melee abilities now scale with both Attack Power and Weapon Damage

The actual ability damage formula for all non-casters has changed, and now all those abilities use both weapon damage and attack power, even abilities like 盾牌猛擊 or 凜風衝擊.

This appears to be intended to create a better balance between classes, rather than some favoring weapons heavily (戰士), while others hardly at all (武僧).

Bleed and Poison ticks now scale with Haste

Bleeds and poisons from 獵人, 盜賊, and 戰士 were the only over time effects not affected by haste, which is being changed in Battle for Azeroth.

Hunter pets have set specializations, which offer different types of utility, and several pet families have changed specs

Hunter pets are receiving an overhaul in BfA to improve their utility and streamline their usability.

Battle for Azeroth has a huge stat and ilvl squish.

Battle for Azeroth implements the second stat squish for World of Warcraft, two expansions after the Warlords of Draenor Squish.

Unlike Warlords, Battle for Azeroth will also have an item level squish, changing the item level previously found on classic items as well.

Tank Threat has been massively Reduced

Battle for Azeroth reduces the Threat of all tank specializations by ~75% from it's Legion counterparts.

But it's still too hard to give Fury warriors back the option to mog into one-handed weapons.

Also, what happens to raiding during this time? No traits will be game breaking for practically every class.

Finally, lol @ personal loot being forced upon us. Literally the fairest way to get the raid equipped for progress gone. All I can reply with is what others wrote already because I'm still confused at this garbage.

sadly on beta you are stuck as the ugly new models and the turn ugly models of don't work but for some reason they have changed the name of the option?

評論來自 RagnarokCzD

On PTR you still can be PvP flaged for PvP-WQ ... even without warmode on.
Anyone know if that will be the case in prepatch?

評論來自 Nekyr

The "You can already earn the rewards for" section is sort of inaccurate. While there will be enough mounts for the 350/400 achievement and enough reps for the 90 achievement, there are not enough unique pets to get 1000 achievement or enough reputations for the 100 achievement. You have to wait for BFA to launch for enough of them to be obtainable, so those cannot be completed in the pre-patch.

評論來自 Donclay

Does anyone know from when to when we'll be able to do the quests to get the mounts and what level we have to be? I haven't played since Cata and was waiting to pick up a "hard copy" of BFA when it came out for the 110 boost.

So we can't complete more challenges when pre-patch launch? or We can still complete 14 August ?

評論來自 Morguean

I really just want to know what happens to us after our artifacts are retired. I got on beta and tested, but i couldnt copy my character over, so I couldnt see what happens to my blades of the fallen prince.

I just want to know what the expect when the artifacts are retired, am i going to need to hunt for some replacement blades now?

評論來自 ikechi

It will be neither 10th, nor 17th. Pre-patch always comes with Wednesday maintenance, and Wednesday is 18th.

You guys remember in Napoleon Dynamite when Uncle Rico was selling the Tupperware and the wife said to the husband "I want that" whenever he offered the cheap little boat model?

Individual buttons for Druid travel forms.
Each individual Druid travel form now has its own passive ability, meaning druids can glyph different forms for each of their travel forms.

For the love of all that is holy PLEASE STOP SAYING DRUIDS GET INDIVIDUAL TRAVEL BUTTONS, they are NOT buttons, they are passive icons in the spellbook. For any druid who reads this, you do NOT get a stag button, an aquatic button, a flight form button like the good old days. This simply means you can glyph multiple forms instead. You can still glyph stag form out of travel form which is how I have it atm, but you will always have aquatic and flight forms on the same button, you can't change that. Before 8.0 your glyphs worked by applying it to an ability in the spell book. Well, your travel/aquatic/flight forms were one single icon in the spell book thus you could not have glyphs that affect travel form and aquatic forms such as cheetah and orca. This is changed so now you can apply individual form changes to the passive icons in the spell book; however from a gameplay perspective, it will not be any different than now. You do NOT get individual buttons, just individual icons in your spellbook :)

Just wanted druids misreading that to know the true meaning behind the change and not read it as Blizz finally fixing the hot mess cuzzzz they didn't.

Good thing with forced personal loot, far less loot drama. nor any drama queens demanding loot. Or elitists hoarding everything for themselves.

Will I still be able to obtain the fishing artifact when the prepatch hits live servers?

評論來自 chasecheese

So, after pre-patch ends, we wont be able to experience Burning of Teldrasil and Battle for Lordaeon? or will they be even after the launch to fill the story, or is it event exclusive only?

評論來自 ValyBMW

All this stuff in patch 8.0 and not one mention of the default UI changes.

評論來自 Halux

Since war mode will be out and the new prestige system, does that mean the new rewards from pvp are obtainable in prepatch?

評論來自 baardabe

When does the pre-patch quest's become available?

I must admit that login in today with no new content was a bit disappointing.

Is the option to turn off new models removed entirely? Can't find the option....

評論來自 Hermionagran

Something is off with the fishing, they changed something but I can't find any info on that. Besides changing the Fishing sound and the fact that it doesn't show up anymore in the little window as the activity which is beside the point, only fishes I can now fish in my Garrison in Draenor are small and regular size Saberfish. No more Enormous and I fished for an hour. Well that really sucks. Obviously it's not a great profit but sometimes I like to fish while I watch a movie or something. I hope the prices will go up because fishing a 100 pieces of Saberfish takes forever now. It's shame really that I have to find this out by myself though.

Does anyone know if it will be possible to still get the pre-patch event mounts after Battle for Azeroth actually releases? I've been playing other things while waiting for the xpac but I don't want to miss out on the mounts if I don't do the pre-patch events.

評論來自 GreekSammiches

The Battle for Lordaeron, the Alliance's retaliation for Teldrassil, is only available to players who purchase Battle for Azeroth. Those who purchase BFA can access this content starting on August 6th.

It's August 6th, and nothing happened.
