Choose Your Own Gear in Dragonflight Season 4

Quote from: Blizzard

In Dragonflight Season 4, we’re going to try something new. We’re preparing a remixed set of gear for each specialization. To determine what that means for each class and spec, we’re asking you to vote for your favorite class look and your favorite specialization set bonuses from the first three Seasons of Dragonflight.

This means that in Season 4, demon hunters might vote for a set that has the look of Season 1, with Season 2 set bonuses for Havoc and Season 3 set bonuses for Vengeance.

We’ve opened a poll for every class and every spec! You can vote now on your favorites, and the winners will determine what we build into the endgame for Season 4. Please keep in mind that we’re going to update the power of the set bonuses to match the increased power of the new gear in Season 4, so any bonuses you choose will be tuned to be as strong as any others.

VOTE HERE FOR:

Death Knight set look

Demon Hunter set look

Druid set look

Evoker set look

Hunter set look

Mage set look

Monk set look

Paladin set look

Priest set look

Rogue set look

Shaman set look

Warlock set look

Warrior set look

Patch 10.2.5 Previews: Bel’ameth Zone & New Character Customizations

Quote from: Blizzard

Discover Bel’ameth, the arms of the Goddess, a much-needed place for the kaldorei to seek much-needed repose and solace. This new night elf settlement lies adjacent to the Ohn’ahran Plains in the Dragon Isles. It rests beneath the new World Tree, Amirdrassil’s boughs, and can be explored in the next Dragonflight update, Seeds of Renewal.

Points of Interest

Traverse through a vibrant wilderness teeming with flora and fauna as you explore several points of interest.

Arlithrien Lodge

Arlithrien Lodge can be found in the northwest, the home of Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope raid—its name pays homage to Teldrassil’s Pools of Arlithrien.

Bel’ameth Harbor and Evenfall Watchtower

To the northeast of Bel’ameth lies its harbor connected to Evenfall Watchtower, with a portal connection that can ferry players to the Feathermoon Stronghold in Feralas.

Twilight Watchtower

A sanctuary that sits in the northern part of Amirdrassil for the darker members of kaldorei society. Here, dark rangers, death knights, demon hunters, and Shen’dralar mages can be seen training and socializing.

Denizens and Wildlife

Bel’ameth is home to a wide variety of creatures, from notable kaldorei to owls and hippogryphs.

Prepare to journey to Bel’ameth when Seeds of Renewal arrives on January 16. Watch the official World of Warcraft news site for more to come as we draw closer to the next update for Dragonflight.

World of Warcraft in 2024 —The Road Ahead

Quote from: Blizzard

Whew! It has been an incredible year for the WoW Team. We are endlessly grateful to our community for being in our world as we grow, change, experiment, and deliver as much magic and fun as possible!

This time last year, I posted our first roadmap. I’m so thankful to our team for seeing it all become real, and then some! We know that promising a thing is a far distant second to actually delivering on that promise. With that said, we continue to learn and evolve with each release and announcement this year, and we are fully focused on listening and responding to you and building for a strong future in Azeroth for all of us.

Listing everything we did together this year is huge: six Dragonflight content updates, Wrath content updates and the return of the Icecrown Citadel raid dungeon, Classic Hardcore launch, BlizzCon 2023, an incredible Race to World First in Dragonflight Season 3, and just recently, Classic Season of Discovery! This year has been one to remember and we want to keep the momentum going!

Now it’s time to share a look ahead into 2024!

In modern World of Warcraft, you’re going to see three more content updates for Dragonflight arriving before World of Warcraft: The War Within releases next year. In these updates, we’ll be wrapping up the story for this expansion and laying the foundation for our next one. Dragonflight Season 4 will revisit Dragonflight’s dungeons and raids, along with outdoor content, featuring updated rewards, and a few new twists. Then, in the Spring/Summer, we’ll ask for your feedback when the War Within expansion alpha and beta tests drop.  We will continue to communicate details, dates, and more goodness as we get closer to content updates, just like this year! Well, most of it anyway (we’ll have some surprises in store too!).  Coming up next in January, we have the Seeds of Renewal content update on tap and we’re currently keeping an eye on your feedback on the live public test realms (PTR) for this update.

In WoW Classic, we have updates coming for Classic Hardcore with “Self Found” support in February as a new way to challenge players and add a little more hardcore into your Hardcore. Lok’tar ogar! We’ll also have more phases to release in Season of Discovery next year as the adventure continues. And, of course, Cataclysm Classic is right around the corner in the first half of next year!

We remain committed to delivering content in all flavors of World of Warcraft so no matter how you play, you won’t have to look far ahead to know something is right around the corner for you!

Above all, we are thankful for the gift of working on World of Warcraft with you and embracing a time of evolution. From us all on the WoW Team, please have a happy, healthy holiday and a peaceful New Year.

We remain dedicated to continuing this amazing journey alongside you all.
