This morning’s patch has brought some changes to some of the building perks for the garrisons. Here’s an overview of the changes:

Building Removed Effect Added Effect
Barracks Level 2 Increases follower cap by 10 Increases follower cap by 5
Mage Tower Specific portals per level Each level allows you to choose a portal to 1 ogre gateway
Bunker Level 3 Gives one extra raid bonus roll per week You get one of the 3 bonus roll coins per week for free
Trading Post Level 2 Gives you access to the auction house in your garrison
Gladiator’s Sanctum (Sparring Arena) Level 1 Allows the collection of broken bones from enemy players (used for Conqueror’s Tribute)
Gladiator’s Sanctum (Sparring Arena) Level 2 Gives access to Nemesis quest series for defeating enemy players of specific races
Gladiator’s Sanctum (Sparring Arena) Level 3 Grants access to the Battle Royale arena event

These changes make the Gladiator’s sanctum interesting to pvp players while the bunker will no longer be mandatory for progression focused raiders.

A new beta build went up this morning and it allowed EU players to copy their characters! Which of course meant it was time to take a look at the toybox! A slight lack of sleep went into the making of this video!

Save the Date! You’re Invited to a Warlords World Premiere, New Animated Mini-Series: Lords of War

The release date and cinematic for Warlords of Draenor will be announced next week!

Save the Date! You’re Invited to a Warlords World Premiere

A storm of iron is headed Azeroth’s way—be among the first to witness its fury at the world premiere of the Warlords of Draenor cinematic! Join Blizzard’s Mike Morhaime, Chris Metzen, and World of Warcraft designers Ion Hazzikostas and Brian Holinka for the grand unveiling, streamed live from the Ace Theatre in Los Angeles. But that’s not all—we’ll also host a live interview with the WoW developers, announce the Warlords of Draenor launch date, and debut the first episode of a new animated lore mini-series: Lords of War. You won’t want to miss it!

When: Thursday, August 14 at 9:30 a.m. PDT (18:30 CEST)
Where: Join us on WorldofWarcraft.com to watch the live stream, or attend** the event live at the Theatre at Ace Hotel, located at 929 South Broadway in Los Angeles. (Doors open at 8:30 a.m.)

Live Attendee Bonus: Anyone who joins us live and in person in L.A. will also receive a beta key for Warlords of Draenor.*       

*Doors open at 8:30 a.m. Seating is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to get there early! Beta keys will be given out to everyone who comes down for the live event.

**Please note: World of Warcraft is rated T for Teen; some content on display at the event may not be suitable for children ages of 12 or younger. Anyone 12 years of age or under must be accompanied by an adult.

So not only will we get the release date and the WoD cinematic, we will also get a new mini series about the warlords! Something like the burdens of shaohao seems extremely likely.

As far as speculating about the release date goes, the announcement now could indicate an october or even late september release. However given the current state of the beta a late november or december release date seems more likely. It’s really fingers crossed on this one to just hope it’s the former rather than the latter, we are approaching the 1 year anniversary for Siege of Orgrimmar and everyone could use a change of scenery! At the same time patch 6.0 isn’t even on the PTR yet and last time anything was said about 6.0, it was said it would go to the live servers 4 to 6 weeks before the release of WoD. Which would give the early option a really really tight release schedule.
