PvP upgrades for world of warcraft blizzcon 2018
For those who love PvP, there are new updates coming to World of Warcraft in Blizzcon 2018. New items and weapons, as well as graphical improvements for the battlegrounds, are on the horizon. Moreover, PvP brawls will be added, with players playing against AI, and new raids. The next NAGA expansion, Rise of Azshara, will bring eight new bosses, new Gnome heritage armor, and more island expeditions. In addition, there are Heroic warfronts and the return of flight.
Shadowburn has gained new buffs to increase damage and reduce stun duration. It also has a new effect of granting 30% health and reducing the duration of incapacitate and stun. The Havoc spell has been improved to last for longer. In addition, the damage dealt by a Warlock’s Havoc spell has also increased. Another change is the addition of an extra ability called “Volatile Solvent” that provides 15% of one’s primary stat every two seconds. Another change in this patch is that Ancient Aftershock no longer interrupts a Warlock’s Havoc cast. Furthermore, a new ability called “Purpose” (a DPS spell) fixes a problem wherein Havoc did not deal damage to the target of a stealth-based attack. In addition to all the new additions
New cinematic shorts
At BlizzCon 2018, Overwatch developer Blizzard revealed its latest cinematic short, “Reunion.” The film stars Jesse McCree and is set on Route 66, the Western-themed map of Overwatch. It teased the introduction of a new hero, and even shows a bombed train. Ashe is also confirmed as Hero 29, and the new film features the female robotic character Echo.
Among the new cinematic shorts is the first one featuring the new Nexus Original Hero, Orphea, the Heir of the Raven Court. She’s a free character for BlizzCon attendees and Virtual Ticket holders, and she’ll be available in the upcoming Battle for Dazar’alor. World of Warcraft is also featuring several new quests, including the Tides of Vengeance raid, the Battle for Dazar’alor warfront, and more. The cinematic also features the Lost Honor cinematic, which portrays the fate of Anduin and Saurfang after the Battle of Teldrassil.
The game’s storyline also has some changes. In the new cinematic, we’ll see the Horde as the aggressor and the Night Elves as the victim. The new quest line shows the Horde razing the world tree – home to Night Elves. This causes a number of innocents to die. It’s not a good way to handle the game.
Update on ‘Rise of Azshara’ patch
Blizzard announced the Rise of Azshara patch at BlizzCon 2018 during the opening ceremony. The new expansion will add new zones, a new raid and a dungeon, and new flying skills. In addition, players will be able to explore new locations, such as the underwater capital city of Nazjatar, and the android gnome city of Mechagon. As for the expansion’s expansion itself, there will be new story quests and the Eternal Palace, where the raid 8.2 update will take place.
‘Rise of Azshara,’ the name of the patch, will launch Dec. 11 in North America. Players can also expect the expansion to include the second major patch. Players can look forward to diving into the ocean and encountering new friends and enemies. The new zone, Nazjatar, will also feature a new raid.
